As one of the two major hotels in the Rockwell Empire, the Jasmine Hotel has always been a cash nest in the eyes of the aristocrats with decay.
Here, there is almost no enjoyment you would never have imagined.
Wine, food, beauty, bloody fighting, a thousand-month bet... everything is available here. Even if you kill someone outside, as long as you hide in the Jasmine Hotel, the city guards of the Empire dare not come in easily
Catch people.
Because behind the Jasmine Hotel is the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce. The Jasmine Chamber of Commerce, supported by the Stantin family, one of the two major families of Rockwell, not only has business throughout the entire empire, but also has many connections in the military and political circles.
After these relationships, Jasmine Merchant.
The major branches of the association are naturally rising.
The hotel industry has always been a money-grabbing industry, and with the influence of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce, the Jasmine Hotel's ability to make money is of course of extraordinary.
Jasmine Hotel, a luxuriously decorated office.
A capable middle-aged man sat at the desk, leaning half on a soft chair, quietly listening to his subordinates reporting recent information.
"This month, our hotel's total revenue is 63.5 million gold coins."
"After deducting various miscellaneous expenses, tax expenses, and those who take care of various expenses and settlement expenses, the net income is 2.79 million gold coins."
"The profit this month is pretty good, 200,000 more gold coins than last month. Wu Ke, you have made a lot of contributions. I will give you a bonus of 500 gold coins. You will go back to the account to collect it." After listening to his subordinates' report,
The middle-aged man lying on the soft chair was in a good mood and immediately rewarded the deputy in front of him who managed the hotel for him.
"Thank you, boss!" Wu Ke said with a bow.
"I told you before that as long as you can make money for me, I will give you a reward, which is what you deserve." The capable middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "By the way, tell me.
Let’s see Jesse and Hannibal’s income this month!”
"Yes, boss!" As the deputy of the capable middle-aged man, Wu Ke knew his boss' habits very well.
The Stantin family is a business family, which is destined to compete for its heirs more cruel than other families. After all, the business family is not other aristocratic families, and it is not that it relies on the bloodline of the direct lineage and has the current patriarch.
You can become the next patriarch.
The only thing that business families like is the means of the heirs. Whoever can make the greatest profit with the smallest capital will have the opportunity to become the patriarch. In this way, the struggle between the heirs will become increasingly fierce and all kinds of dark
The means are also unscrupulous. After all, the less profit the other party earns, the less chance they will have to inherit the position of the patriarch, and the greater the chance they will have to take office.
The capable middle-aged man in front of him is the popular leader of the Stantine family, Jansen. As the eldest son of the family, Jansen knew very well that if he wanted to get the position of the clan leader, in addition to his own hard work, he would do his best to manage.
, finding ways to destroy the business of other brothers is also a way to increase his bargaining chips. Therefore, he pays great attention to the business of other brothers. As long as there are opportunities and loopholes, he is happy to take the opportunity to cause some trouble for their brothers.
Let them lose money.
It was really for this reason that Jansen spared no effort to send people to investigate the situation of his other brothers. Wu Ke in front of him was the deputy responsible for collecting information for him.
However, although Jansen has many brothers, there are not many brothers who have the ability to shake his inheritance of the clan. His second brother Jesse and Stantine are one, and the other is Hannibal and Stantine.
Jesse is the second heir to the Stantin family, and Jesse's father is the current patriarch. Under the care of the patriarch, Jesse successfully inherited the most profitable weapon shop of the Stantin family, so Jesse has always been his.
Strong enemy. But there is no one behind Jensen. As the eldest son of the family, many elderly people from the Stantine family are on his side. Because of this, Jensen can not lose the Jasmine Hotel.
Yu Bingweifang's gold-grabbing device was taken into his pocket.
As for another heir, Hannibal's threat is relatively less threatening.
First of all, Hannibal only has a direct bloodline, and there is a lot of gap between him and Jesse in the family, and it is destined to be difficult to get the support of the elderly in the family.
Secondly, like the Jasmine Auction House controlled by Hannibal, unless there are sky-high auction items, and they appear in large quantities and long-term periods.
Otherwise, the profits of the auction house alone would not be able to surpass those of money-making industries like him and Jesse.
However, Hannibal's method of winning over the hearts of the people is very impressive. With the help of Hannibal's daughter Ai Qier, the Jasmine Auction House has done a very good job, attracting a group of powerful people, and the difference between their performance is also
It was not far away. Therefore, Jansen also listed Hannibal as his second-level focus target. Jansen would naturally pay close attention to their intelligence.
"Tell me!" Jansen said lightly.
"yes."
Wu Ke quickly took out a piece of information from his clothes and whispered, "According to our insider news, Mr. Jesse's weapons workshop's performance this month is 3.16 million gold coins, an increase from last month
Thirty-nine thousand gold coins.”
"Added 390,000 gold coins!" Jensen raised his eyebrows, stood up from the soft chair, and asked, "Why did it increase nearly 10% of the profit? Jesse only had more than 200 last month
Are there ten thousand gold coins?”
"Boss, that's it!" Wu Ke explained; "This month, the military supplies in the border were in urgent need. The Imperial Army Department placed a lot of orders from Mr. Jesse's weapons workshop, so his profit naturally increased a lot."
"Oh! So that's it." Jensen touched his smooth and beardless chin, continued to lie back on the soft chair, and said lightly; "No wonder, with the military order, Jesse is going to issue a deal recently.
Xiaocai!"
"Yes, according to our calculations, Mr. Jesse's weapons workshop will continue to increase by about 10% of the profit share in the past two or three months. Boss, should we do something?" Wu Ke suggested, blocking like this
He has done a lot of things that disturbed the business of other heirs of the Stantin family.
"Forget it, let Jesse be happy for a while!" Jensen waved.
"But, in this way, the performance gap between the boss and him will be widened?" Wu Ke said worriedly.
"It's okay." Jensen closed his eyes and whispered; "Jesse can't do orders for the military headquarters for a lifetime. After these few months, Jesse's performance will naturally decline. We will compare with each other in the end.
It’s still the biggest profit of the year, and the profit growth in several months is not enough to shake my position.”
He knew very well that businesses like weapons workshops would produce lasting profit growth unless a large-scale war broke out. Once time passed, they would still stand on the same level. On the contrary, Jansen's hotel industry
However, the prospects are very good. Recently, under his command, he secretly collected many young and beautiful girls and successfully seduced a group of noble playboys. With the help of those playboys, his Jasmine Hotel will have profits almost every month.
One goes up and the other goes down, and if this goes on, Jensen has a great chance of winning.
"Boss, wise." Wu Ke took the opportunity to flatter.
"I'm very interested in knowing Hannibal's recent income." Jensen said lightly: "I heard that Aiqier has started to formally manage Jasmine Auction recently, and my niece's methods can match him.
My father is competing, but I wonder how much the income of Jasmine Auction will increase because of her?"
"Yes!" Wu Ke looked at the information and continued, "Since Miss Aiqier changed a lot of people at the Jasmine Auction House as soon as she came on stage, many of our insiders were replaced, so for
It is difficult for us to collect the internal situation of Jasmine Auction, but we can still find out about their profits. According to our people, Mr. Hannibal's Jasmine Auction's performance this month is 3.08 million gold coins."
"How is it possible!" Jansen stood up from the soft chair, staring at Wu Ke with his eyes tightly, and asked, "Why is this happening, at that guy Hannibal's auction house
Not only is there a month less than two million gold coins, how can it increase by more than half at once?”
Wu Ke quickly explained, "Recently, because Miss Aiqier entered the Jasmine Auction House, many noble children went to the auction house to support the event in order to pursue Miss Aiqier, which has led to the popularity there, and the previous part of the auction house
The auction of an alchemy product of up to 800,000 gold coins triggered a chain reaction, which set off the sign of Jasmine Auction House. That was why such a huge increase was achieved."
"That big fat man Hannibal really has a good daughter!" Jansen said in surprise. "No, even so, it would not lead to more than half of the performance increase in the auction house?"
"It's like this. I heard that Jasmine Auction recently added a batch of magical flying alchemy items called "Wings of the Wind", which are deeply sought after by those nobles." Wu Ke said: "Although every 'Wings of the Wind'
The price is only 30,000 gold coins, but the final transaction price of each one basically reached 40,000, or even 50,000 gold coins. There were 50 of the "Wings of the Wind" in total, which brought more than two to Jasmine Auction House.
The income of millions of gold coins, and the "Wing of Wind" not only increased the performance of Jasmine Auction House, but also attracted a group of nobles with great status for Mr. Hannibal to support him. So..."
Wu Ke secretly glanced at his boss and said slowly, "Mr. Hannibal's performance is second only to Mr. Jesse, and he surpassed you, your boss."
Upon hearing this, Jansen's face changed a bit, and finally he punched the desk in front of him with a hateful punch.
The golden fighting spirit mixed with anger instantly smashed the desk in front of him.
Jansen looked up at Wu Ke, his angry eyes showed a hint of greed that was difficult to see, and said coldly: "Find out the maker of 'Wings of Wind'. No matter what method you use, I want you to be the shortest one.
In time, find the maker of "Wings of the Wind" and bring back his alchemy secret to me."
"Yes, yes!" Wu Ke nodded quickly.
A side hall in the palace.
As usual, Austin was in the hall, working hard to read the messages sent back from all over the world.
At this time, the voice of the imperial guards came from outside the side hall.
Your Majesty, Lord Hank asks for a visit.”
"Tell him in." Austin said lightly, then continued to bury his head on the big case and read various information.
"Click!"
The gate of the side hall was opened, and the sword saint Hank, dressed in gray robe, walked in.
"Your Majesty is here!" Hank turned his body and bowed to Austen in the middle.
"No gift, tell me! What's the matter?" Without raising his head, Austin continued to lean on the big case and flipped through.
"Yes, your majesty," Hank said; "The thing that your majesty asked me to investigate is obvious."
"Oh!" Austen raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his head from the desk, looked at Hank below, and said, "Is it the alchemist?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that person." Hank nodded.
"Very good, send the Ancient Master to gather immediately, you will lead the team and bring the alchemist back to me, remember what I want is living." Austin said with a sigh; "'Wind'
Wing'Ah! What a magical alchemy item, with it, our soldiers of the empire can engage in air combat, so that they can make up for the weaknesses of the empire's air combat. Even if they encounter the griffin legion of the Edinpus Empire,
The Eagle Force of the Orcs, the Horned Eagle Force of the Elfs, and our empire also has the strength to compete for the length of time."
"But." Hank suddenly spoke; "I'm afraid that this will arouse Bruze and Baroque's anger?"
"What's their business?" Austin asked.
"Because that alchemist may be Zhang Yunfeng." Hank replied.
"What?" Austin exclaimed; "Why is that boy again? Isn't he a wind magician? When did he become an alchemist again?"
"Today we were at the Dark Team members of the Royal Magic Martial Arts Academy. We saw Zhang Yunfeng flying in a strange metal plate, and carrying Anna, the youngest daughter of Tyson, the commander of the Wind Legion." Hank analyzed; "Since Zhang Yunfeng can
Take out such a flying prop, and even if he is not the alchemist, he must know the identity of the alchemist who created those flying alchemist products. Moreover, the occupational information that Zhang Yunfeng filled in at the Mercenary Union includes alchemist
.”
"It makes sense." Austin nodded and said, "A 'Wing of the Wind' was only released not long ago, and Zhang Yunfeng is now riding a metal plate that can fly. In the same period, two types of alchemy props that can fly appeared.
, I don’t believe it if the alchemist who made these two flying props is not the same person. It seems that there are quite a lot of secrets on that little guy, and I have to knock it down."
