Chapter 256 Building a Hotel
"Father has already arranged to visit Count Cusang tomorrow. You all should get some rest; we'll be getting down to business tomorrow!" Bru instructed the group.
"Don't worry, don't you know us? We definitely won't let you down!"
Yan Ji downed the wine in her cup in one gulp: "By the way, the clothing store delivered some goods earlier, right? The fabric inside belongs to Little Nine."
“It’s in your room, you can go and share it,” Blue replied.
"Alright!" Yan Ji glanced at her other sisters, finished her drink, and then said to Bru, "Then I'll take my people and leave first!"
"Go!"
While Cheng Jiu and his group of four were going upstairs, they saw the other team members returning drunk.
"You're back!" Blue greeted them as usual.
"I can't take it anymore, I've drunk too much, I feel like throwing up!"
Xiong Lei slumped against the counter and shook his head.
"Get them a glass of water!" Blue shook his head as he looked at the group.
After drinking water, their complexions finally looked much better.
"Why did you drink so much?" Blue asked with concern.
"We ran into some friends! We heard that a lot of caravans from other places will be coming to the market this year. They said that Count Cussam has finally decided to reorganize the market. This is a great opportunity to make a fortune!"
Xiong Lei proudly told Bru about the information they had gathered.
"No wonder that old fox was so generous; he knew all along!" Bru said through gritted teeth, filled with regret. "We still sold it too cheaply!"
"Young Master, are we still going to find Count Cusang?" Xiong Lei asked.
If what those mercenaries said is true, this grand gathering will bring many foreign caravans, and they will definitely be able to consume all the goods they bring and sell them at high prices.
"It's all agreed upon. We definitely have to sell some goods to Count Cusang. We can't let him go through all that time and effort without us, the merchants, handing over some benefits!"
The young master knew, of course, that this market would be a very profitable business. If all their goods could be sold at the market, it would be a huge profit.
That's not how business is done; some of the profits must be shared with Count Cousin.
It's important to understand that the border is a very chaotic place. Apart from powerful mercenary caravans like theirs, caravans with money but no real power simply don't dare to venture there.
The fact that these caravans dare to come now must be because someone with status, position, and power has made a firm decision to rectify the situation and provide guarantees for these caravans.
If there's any advantage to such a large market, the biggest advantage is that these caravans come from all over the country.
When they come to buy, not only can they guarantee that the goods will be sold out at a high price, but they can also save a lot of travel expenses. More importantly, these caravans also bring their own local goods.
They can also purchase some rare local specialties, and whether they sell them along the way or in the capital, they can certainly make huge profits from this back and forth.
Whichever it is, it's a fantastic thing, I'm sure of it!
The others had no objections upon hearing this. When it came to business matters, once a decision was made, they wouldn't ask too many questions. This was a form of trust and a guarantee.
"Go back and get some rest! Don't be listless tomorrow!" Bru told them to go back and rest. "I'll have someone bring you some hangover soup later!"
The men agreed and helped each other upstairs.
Seeing the group go up, Bru got up and found the flamboyantly dressed boss down below.
"Young Master Blue, what can I do for you?" the shopkeeper asked with a simple, honest smile.
“You’re not being honest!” Bru said, squinting at the boss.
The boss was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then realized what he meant and laughed heartily, "You knew?"
"Hmm!" Blue didn't explain how he knew, leaning back slightly in his seat as if waiting for the other person to speak.
"Hey, you're my valued customer. We've known each other for so many years, would I ever cheat you? I was planning to tell you tomorrow morning!" the boss said hurriedly.
"Really?" Blue remained noncommittal; by tomorrow morning, it would be too late.
"Alright then, all your expenses at my hotel will be on the house!" Seeing Bru's expression, the owner's heart sank even further; it seemed he was about to have to spend a lot of money!
Blue held out his hand, and the shopkeeper, gritting his teeth and reluctantly, placed a small, bulging bag of Kasikorn in Blue's hand: "Can you calm down now, Young Master Blue?"
Under the boss's pained gaze, Bru stuffed Kasikin into his sleeve: "That sir has offended Master Zhu Xuan!"
After leaving the message behind, Blue happily walked towards his room. It was truly gratifying to have made such a stingy person bleed money.
The boss, who didn't have time to feel sorry for the man, pondered Bru's words: Which lord has offended Master Zhu Xuan?
Zhu Xuan?
Could it be that person?
The boss, who was initially distressed by the bleeding, instantly stopped feeling bad. This news was worth a hundred or a thousand times more than that bag of Kasikorn!
Most people in the city knew that the hotel had been destroyed, but everyone was watching and waiting. After all, the power of that official still made some of those who coveted the opportunity hesitant to act, and they were unsure whether that official would give up the spot.
This is the advantage of having great strength. If that person is unwilling to give up, even if the hotel is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. No one will offend that person a second time because of this. At most, the number of customers will decrease.
But things are different now. That person has offended Master Zhu Xuan. With Master Zhu Xuan around, that person must be in a terrible predicament and won't be able to care about the border quotas.
After all, if that person wants this spot, they will definitely have to come here in person and go through complicated procedures to rebuild the hotel.
What is this? This is good news! Knowing a little bit in advance will allow us to build the hotel as soon as possible before those hesitant people do, and we can focus on building the hotel without any worries!
The more the boss thought about it, the more excited he became, and he directly entrusted the affairs here to his deputy.
They immediately made a call to coordinate resources, aiming to complete the hotel and process the registrations before the hyenas could react.
If this can be accomplished, please take good care of it. Thank you, Mr. Blue!
The boss thought to himself, and then added to his deputy, "Upgrade the treatment of Blue and his group to make them feel at home."
The deputy respectfully agreed, but couldn't help wondering if this was still their stingy boss.
They're so generous! I wonder who those people are.
Despite his curiosity, the deputy always followed his boss's orders meticulously.
