If you want Cuihonglou's business to flourish, there is only one way, which is to make Cuihonglou the only and largest brothel in Jincheng.
However, it is obviously very difficult to achieve this.
Li Qi still had a mission when he came out this time. It was not that he had not thought about leaving Huang Yunrou alone. He would just never return to Feiyan Village for the rest of his life.
It's just that Liu Yanyan's internal skills and mental methods that he taught him were incomplete. According to Liu Yanyan's original words: "Your foundation is not stable now. I will teach you some basic mental methods first. When you come back, I will teach you the rest."
Mind Dharma, once you learn all the Mind Dharma, it will only be a matter of time before you repair your heart meridians."
How could Li Qi not know what it meant? It was just that Liu Yanyan didn't trust her and was afraid that she would run away, so she kept such a back-up move.
If he wants to save Huang Yunrou, he cannot stay in Jincheng for a long time, and he is in the Jianghu. What can he do for free?
If you don’t have a stable income, you may not even be able to eat anywhere else.
So after careful consideration, Li Qi felt that he had to eat up other brothels and let the Cuihonglou family become the dominant one. At the same time, he also had to think of a perfect strategy so that he could still make money without being in Jincheng. Only in this way could his life be easy.
Of course, if you want to realize the first step of this plan, you must make the business of Cuihonglou prosperous, so that you can have enough chips to take the next step.
"My boss! My boss!" When Mother Liu opened the door and walked in, there was a scholar-looking person behind her, "I found the person you want."
Li Qi raised his head and took a look. This scholar Mo looked like he was in his early twenties. He was dressed in cloth and his face was pale. He didn't know whether it was because he was too weak or...ahem...
"I met my boss in Xia'an Guyao." The scholar said to Li Qi, clasping his fists.
"Can you paint?" Li Qi asked.
An Guyao smiled slightly and said, "What I'm best at is painting."
Li Qi pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table: "Can you draw a picture for me to see?"
"I wonder what my boss wants me to draw?"
"Just draw me."
An Guyao walked to the table, looked at Li Qi for a moment, and then started to draw.
I saw that he was not sloppy at all, and started drawing on the paper very quickly.
After a while, Li Qi's outline appeared on the white paper, and it looked like the same thing.
"Okay! You've been hired. Come and work at my place tomorrow. You'll be responsible for painting. How about two dollars a month?"
An Guyao made a living by selling paintings on the street on weekdays. He was thankful to God if he could earn a regular income at most in a month. Now that he heard that Li Qi had offered him so much money, he was naturally grateful: "Thank you, boss, no need for tomorrow. I'll wait for a while."
I'll come over and answer the question."
Li Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Then go and prepare. Have you found the craftsman that Mother Liu asked you to find?"
"I found it. They are all waiting outside. I was afraid that my employer was in a hurry, so I brought the painter over first," Liu's mother said.
"You should arrange the people first and make some space in the backyard."
"Master, what are you going to do?" Liu's mother asked curiously.
Li Qi smiled: "You'll know tomorrow."
Early the next morning, the backyard of Cuihonglou was bustling with activity. Five or six jewelry craftsmen were busy busy, and the painter An Guyao was also painting something quickly at this time.
Li Qi, on the other hand, was sitting at the stone table nearby, drinking tea leisurely.
Mother Liu stood aside and gave him some tea while asking, "What's that membership card from the boss?"
"It's a certificate of identity." Li Qi said.
"Then why are they divided into three levels: silver, gold, and jade?"
Li Qi took out a piece of paper full of words from his arms: "Look at this carefully. Everyone in Cuihong Building will have to memorize what is written on it."
Mother Liu took it over and looked at it carefully: "Silver members, if you recharge two hundred taels at a time, you can get an additional twenty taels... You can enjoy reserved reservations, drink discounts, and one night in a private room every month..."
"Gold members, if you recharge 500 taels at a time, you can get an additional 80 taels as a gift... In addition to enjoying all the privileges of silver members, you can also give priority to booking a red shopkeeper... If you spend more than 5,000 taels every year, you can get a gift from another hospital.
between."
"As a Jade member, if you recharge one thousand taels at a time, you can receive an additional five hundred taels as a gift! In addition to enjoying the privileges of silver gold membership, you will also be given an exclusive private room. If you spend more than 10,000 taels per year, you can participate in the stock purchase..."
Mother Liu was confused as she didn't understand the meaning of many words in it. After listening to Li Qi's explanation, she was still a little confused.
"What the owner calls a shareholding means he can get a share of the profits from Cuihong Building?"
Li Qi nodded: "Yes. As long as he spends more than ten thousand taels, he can become the second owner of Cuihonglou and receive 10% of Cuihonglou's profits every year."
Mother Liu still didn't understand, but she didn't ask any more questions. After all, who could really come to Cuihong Mansion to spend ten thousand taels of silver?
How many 10,000 taels of silver are there? How many boxes can it hold?
After the membership card was prepared, Li Qi immediately started decorating the Cuihong Building.
The hall has not changed much, except that Li Qi placed the stage in the center, replaced all the tables with long tables, and built a bar similar to a bar at the entrance.
Each table is decorated with exquisite flower arrangements and some small ornaments.
As for the private rooms, they haven't been touched much. They just hung a sign at the door of each room and named it after some flowers and plants.
After working like this for about half a month, Cuihonglou reopened. Li Qi asked Fu Pingwen to call all the arrestees over and entertain them with delicious food and drinks.
During this period of time for the girl in Cuihonglou, Liu’s mother also spent all her efforts, and finally found some, but she could only barely support the place.
Fu Pingwen was a little surprised to see the new look of Cuihong Building. Although it was a bit weird, it looked much more refined.
"Brother Fu! You're here!" Li Qi came up to him as soon as he saw Fu Pingwen.
"Brother Xian, you did quite well in Cuihonglou. It looks much more comfortable than before. I wonder if this girl..." Fu Pingwen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Brother, let me talk to you about business first," Li Qi said.
"Business? What business?"
"Let's go upstairs and chat."
"good."
After the two of them arrived at the private room upstairs, Li Qi closed the door, came over mysteriously, and poured Fu Pingwen a cup of tea.
"Brother Xian, is there anything you need my help with? Don't worry, as long as you ask, I will do my best."
"Brother, you are too polite. I came here to see you mainly because I want to share the blessings with my eldest brother."
