Chapter 26: Uniforms, Uniforms
"In the early stage of cultivating Douqi, the main thing is physical exercise, the food must be good, and it is necessary to ensure that there is meat at every meal. Lin Xia arranged.
Although fifty percent of the people have the talent to cultivate martial arts, this proportion is relative to the aristocracy, only the nobles can reach fifty percent, and the commoners can be said to be one in a hundred.
According to Lin Xia's observations, it is not that the talents of the nobles are better than those of the commoners, but because the nobles eat well. In the early stage of cultivating martial arts, the main thing is to polish the body, but the civilians all have vegetables on their faces, and they will be tired after a little exercise, how to polish the body and condense the fighting spirit.
Therefore, if you want to practice martial arts, the first step is to eat well, as the old saying in China goes, people take food as the sky is not something to say casually.
Hearing Lin Xia say that there should be meat for every meal, Xavier looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and when he saw Lin Xia looking at him, he had to say: "Big brother, when I was in the Ning Xiang Pavilion just now, I wanted to say that our monthly profit is only a little bit, although some brothers have reduced some expenses, but the salary increase for the girls is almost beyond their means, if you eat meat at every meal, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain." "In this world, meat is more expensive because of low productivity.
After listening to Xavier's words, Lin Xia understood that Hong Xing had no money. Originally, Xavier didn't make much profit when these industries were running, and he asked for a salary increase and a meat eater. And Xavier also said a little less, Lin Xia set a new rule that people under the age of sixteen are not allowed to enter, and he has to reduce part of his income.
Lin Xia frowned and asked, "How many gold coins do we have?"
Xavier said, "It's only about two hundred gold coins. ”
Lin Xia frowned, although two hundred gold coins sounded like a lot, but the day of paying the salaries to the brothers was not far away, and there were still a lot of expenses waiting for them.
Lin Xia just felt that one head had two big, as a dignified traverser, he would be stumped by gold coins, think about the seniors in the novels of his previous life, just make some small inventions, and there are a lot of gold coins, but unfortunately he didn't read many books in his previous life, so he naturally didn't know how to make perfumes, soaps, and glass.
But what is the way to make money, thinking back to the experience of mixing rivers and lakes in the previous life, the main income of the gang is protection money, drugs, entertainment venues, and so on. I have already collected Tony's protection money, and I don't bother to collect the protection fee of ordinary shops, after all, it is a civilian area, and the shops can't make any money, and it would be too bullying to collect their protection fees. As for drugs, there is a kind of ice fruit in this world, which can play a stimulant role, and if you take it for a long time, it will also cause dependence, but Lin Xia hates drugs the most, and he will definitely not do it. The income of the field is now only the income of the casino.
"I'll think of a way first. Lin Xia frowned. Suddenly remembered Mandy's matter, and said: "Xavier, you find a brother to see what Mandy's father is doing, and if you can barely make a living, send Mandy back." ”
Xavier arranged for someone to go, and Lin Xia went to his study in Hongxing to find a way, and he kept thinking that he wanted to blow up in the afternoon and had no clue to make money.
"Big brother. Xavier's voice rang out outside the door.
"Come in. Lin Xia said.
"The brother who went to find Mandy's father has returned. Xavier said. Xavier came in with a brother of Hong Xing, who was also fifteen or sixteen years old, with a somewhat handsome face and an aura of aura.
"How is her father?" Lin Xia said.
"Robben, come on. Xavier said to the boy he had brought in.
"Yes. Robben said yes to Xavier, and then said respectfully to Lin Xia: "I went to find Tony first, asked the address of the slave trader who sold her Mandy, and found Mandy's previous residence from the slave trader. Their family was really poor, with only a simple thatched hut. ”
Lin Xia remembered that Mandy had said that his father had already sold the house and everything that could be sold at home, and it was estimated that such a thatched hut would be temporarily built after there was no place to live.
"When I got to the thatched hut, I knocked on the door and no one answered, so I went in and saw for myself that Mandy's father was dead. Robben said.
Hearing that Mandy's father died, Lin Xia was shocked, Mandy was only sold this morning, how could his father die so soon, and asked, "How did he die?"
"I inquired with my neighbors about the hanging, Mandy's father owed too much gambling debt, and after returning the money from the sale of Mandy to the casino this morning, he still owed more than fifty gold coins. It should be that I feel that I can't pay it back, and the casino is chasing after me tightly, so I can't live anymore, so I can only choose suicide. Robben said.
Mandy said that her father used to be very good to her, and I think that her father committed suicide not only because he owed too much money, but also because he owed his daughter for sale. Lin Xia said in his heart. He said to Xavier and Robben, "Did you tell me about it?" ”
"Not yet. Robben had just come back and I brought him over. Xavier said.
"Let's not talk about this matter first, Mandy has just come out of the Incense Pavilion, I'm afraid I can't stand the news of his father's death. Wait for her to stabilize for a while before letting him know. Lin Xia said.
The two said they knew.
"Go ahead and get busy. Lin Xia said, he was still thinking of a way to make money.
"Boss. Can I ask something?" Robben said to Lin Xia with some hesitation.
"What's the matter?" Lin Xia asked.
"When will I make uniforms again, I've been joining Hongxing for half a month, and I haven't received Hongxing's uniform yet. Paul likes Hong Xing's tunic uniform very much, and thinks it is very handsome, but in the past half a month, Hong Xing has been busy building the headquarters and has not made clothes.
Uniform, hearing Paul mention the uniform, my heart moved, I damn it, what are I doing, old boy, I am mixed in all kinds of entertainment places all day long, what kind of uniform temptation, scene temptation, how did I think of it, there is a way to make money.
Lin Xia hurriedly got up and said, "Let's go, go to Hongchen." "Hongchen was Xavier's property, and now it is the largest brothel in Hongxing.
Before he could get out of the door of the study, he stopped and said to Robben, "You go and get Parker first." Parker is one of the five classmates who joined Hong Xing, he is very clever and knows how to bargain, and is now in charge of Hong Xing's logistics.
Robben hurried out to find Parker. Lin Xia and Xavier also walked out, and before they could get out of Hongxing Hall, Robben came with Parker.
"You ask the tailor who makes the uniform to work hard tonight, tailor-made two sets of Hongxing uniforms for Robben, and send them to Robben tomorrow morning. Lin Xia said to Parker, thought for a while, and continued: "In addition, you can find a few more tailors who make women's clothing to wait at the Hongxing headquarters, and I will arrange it later." ”
"Yes, Boss. Parker respectfully agreed.
Robben was overjoyed when he heard that he was going to make a uniform for himself, and he was looking forward to Hongxing's uniform since he joined Hongxing, but it was unfortunate that he didn't wait for half a month. But now Boss Lin Xia actually arranged the uniform for him personally, which moved Robben badly.
After Lin Xia and Xavier arrived at Hongchen, they directly entered Hongchen's hall, the layout here was similar to that of the Ning Xiang Pavilion, and the scale was similar, in fact, the brothels in this world were roughly this pattern. In the hall on the first floor, there are sofas, coffee tables, card rooms and other decorations for guests to drink and chat. The second floor is a private room where you can do shameful things.
In charge of Hongchen is Xavier's elder brother Rodney, who is in his thirties and seems to be very capable, and has managed Hongchen for many years, and it is inevitable to deal with all kinds of characters, revealing some slippery.
Hearing that Lin Xia and Hong Xing's high-level officials were coming, Rodney hurriedly came out to greet him and said, "Boss, what's going on here?"
Lin Xia met Rodney a few times and said, "Hongxing has been in financial difficulties recently, so I'll come over to see if there is anything that can be improved." ”
Rodney felt very uncomfortable when he heard Lin Xia say that he wanted to improve, you are a fifteen-year-old child, a woman may not have touched it, and he came to guide the improvement of the brothel. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, he just followed Lin Xia and explained when Lin Xia asked questions.
Lin Xia took a look in the hall, because it was still in the afternoon, although there were already a few tables of guests, the hall still seemed very empty, Lin Xia asked, "Can it be full here?"
"Usually these are the same people, and when it's good, you can sit in a third of the seat. Rodney replied.
"Will all the guests who come here go up to the second floor?" Lin Xia asked.
"After most of the guests came, they called the girl to drink together, and some left after drinking, not necessarily all of them went to the second floor, of course, there were also those who went directly to the second floor after coming. Rodney said.
Lin Xia rarely comes to the brothel, and said strangely: "Since there are not so many customers, why are there so many locations?"
"On the one hand, there are many places and locations, which seem to be classy. Second, the distance between the guests is longer, which can ensure the privacy of the guests. Rodney said.
"That's how you all did it?" Lin Xia asked.
"It's not just us, it's everyone who does it. Rodney said.
Lin Xia roughly understood the situation, and said in his heart: "No wonder it doesn't make money, this hall is similar to the nightclub in the previous life, come here to drink, call the girl to have a good time, and some of the chats are good and go up to the second floor to have a good time." It's so empty and quiet, how can the guests be. What do nightclubs want, it's lively. ”
Lin Xia walked to the middle of the hall and said, "The sofas here have been dismantled and replaced with a stage. Pick a few with good voices and sing them here. ”
Rodney hurriedly said: "Won't this be too noisy and affect ......" Before he finished speaking, he was glared back by Xavier.
"Find a few more who can dance, whether they dance well or not, they will dance for me on this stage. Lin Xia continued.
Lin Xia glanced at the girls here again, almost all of them were exposed except for the important parts, and said, "Let Parker order a batch of clothes for the girls to wear, don't expose them so much, wrap them tightly." ”
Rodney listened to Lin Xia's words and wondered in his heart: "There are still brothels that let the girls wear more clothes?" but he didn't dare to say it.
