Leaving Bacon's room, Lin Xia wanted to go to the casino to take out 70 gold coins and return them to Bacon, but thinking that he had just received Xavier yesterday and would go to get the money today, he went back to his room, practiced for a while to restore the true qi in his body, although he slept during the day, he still felt very tired after just casting a few magic in a row, and fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day, Bacon sent the written magic over, Lin Xia took a brief look at it, and then put it away, studying magic is not something that can be done in a day or two, it is important to go to the casino to see first.

Lin Xia called Sean to the casino, and wanted to call Bacon too, but Bacon was afraid that Xavier would settle accounts with him, so he refused to come to the casino if he died.

The casino's original signboard has been removed, and now the new signboard reads "Hongxing Casino". The casino gatekeeper is still the original two people, and now they have changed into Hongxing's unified tunics, and the left chest is embroidered with the two square words "Hongxing". Seeing Lin Xia coming, he bowed his head respectfully and saluted, "Boss." ”

Lin Xia nodded to the two and walked into the casino, although after the previous trouble, it still couldn't stop the gamblers' enthusiasm for gambling, the hall on the first floor was still lively, all kinds of excited screams of winning bets, sighs and scoldings showed all kinds of things in the world.

The waiters and dealers in the hall still retain Xavier's custom-made clothes, but they all embroider the word "Hongxing" on their left chests.

All the people who passed by Lin Xia's side took the initiative to stop and bow their heads to salute, and those who were far away did not come to salute, still doing their work. But seeing Lin Xia's arrival, his eyes were full of awe.

Lin Xia went directly to the second floor, walked to the room where he and Xavier had been last time, pushed the door and entered, and Xavier was introducing something to Troy in the room.

When the two saw Lin Xia coming, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing, got up and saluted, "Big brother." ”

Lin Xia walked to a sofa and sat down, and said, "You guys are busy with yours, I'll come and take a look." He motioned for Sean to sit as well, but Sean insisted on standing behind Lin Xia.

Troy said: "Big brother, we are just about to go to you and report to you about Hongxing's acceptance of Xavier's industry. ”

Lin Xia became interested and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Troy looked at Xavier, Xavier didn't care about the spread of his hands, and motioned to Troy to say, Troy had no choice but to report to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia was still worried that there would be conflicts between the two, but looking at the current situation, the relationship between the two is quite good.

I only heard Troy say: "Hongxing has now taken over the casino and four brothels, and at the same time, these five venues have 106 brothers. ”

After a pause, Troy took a file, opened it and continued: "According to the previous situation, the four brothels can earn a total of 280 gold coins per month, and the casinos have more, with 300 gold coins per month. ”

Lin Xia nodded, this income was about the same as he expected.

Troy continued: "The monthly expenditure is about 550 gold coins. ”

Lin Xia was shocked when he heard the expenditure, the income was only 580 gold coins, and the expenditure was 550 gold coins.

Lin Xia knew that Xavier would not do anything about this, after all, he would know about this kind of income and expenditure situation sooner or later. glanced at Xavier and said in his heart: "This thing is a poor bastard." It seems that the power has not developed in the past three years, not only because there is no backstage, but also because the economic situation is not optimistic. ”

"How can the expenditure be so high?" Lin Xia couldn't help but ask.

"The personnel expenses accounted for the majority, including the expenses of the 106 brothers, as well as the brothel girls and the casino dealers, which cost about 300 gold coins per month. In addition, 100 gold coins per month are required for gifts and entertainment to the sheriff's office," Troy replied respectfully.

Lin Xia said in his heart: "The personnel cost of 300 gold coins is not high, after all, Xavier has a lot of subordinates, and there are masters like third-level martial artists and second-level martial artists. It's normal to give the police station 100 gold coins, which is a rule in the industry. Lin Xia continued to ask, "What about the other 150 gold coins?"

Troy said: "Among the 150 gold coins, including house repairs, daily maintenance, etc., of course, many of Xavier's brothers quit due to injury or other reasons, but Xavier still gives them monthly subsidies to avoid difficulties in their lives." ”

Lin Xia looked at Xavier appreciatively, expressed his understanding, and said: "Xavier did the right thing, these are brothers who share hardships together, and they should not be forgotten." ”

Lin Xia took the documents in Troy's hand, and looked at the densely recorded items and figures on it, many of which were uncertain words like approximately, approximately, and should be, knowing that Troy and Xavier were both financial materials, but there was nothing they could do now, so they could only let them calculate it like this first.

Lin Xia asked Troy and Xavier to take him to the other four brothels, the other four are not large, they are similar to Tony's incense shop, and the content of the business is also similar, to say that the difference is that there are many thugs here.

After listening to the report, in addition to feeling that the profit is a little less, I am also quite satisfied in other aspects, and I have not learned to do business, so let's find a way to deal with the profit.

Hongxing is now considered to have a scale, and there is no official headquarters location, and Xavier's five places are obviously not suitable because they are business locations. Lin Xia thought for a while and said to the two: "Is there a bigger house around here, the main thing is that the yard is bigger." ”

Xavier thought for a moment and said, "I bought a piece of land nearby the year before last, and I wanted to build another casino, but the security station didn't allow it, and the land is still empty. It should meet your requirements. ”

Lin Xia got up directly and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

After arriving at the place, this land is the size of Lin Xia's football field in his previous life, and the location is also relatively good, except for a little far from the casino, it is not too far from several other brothels.

A few houses have been built here, Lin Xia went over to check it, although it has been empty for a long time, it is still very strong, and it should have been a large family's house before.

Lin Xia instructed: "Enclose this place with a wall, and ask someone to clean these houses, this will be our Hongxing headquarters in the future." After a pause, he said: "In the future, there will be four people in each brothel, and eight people will be left in the casino, and they will take turns to change shifts." The rest of the idle came here, and Sean instructed them in martial arts. If you don't want to, you can choose to quit Hongxing, and you don't have to stop it. ”

The reason why the brothers are all allowed to practice martial arts is because Hongxing is still in the initial stage, and the personnel are not much more expensive. The experience of his previous life let Lin Xia know that the gangsters fight just to see the momentum, and the downwind frames are as fierce as dragons, and even insects are not as good as when it comes to headwinds.

It's different in this world, there is fighting spirit, martial arts, first-level martial artists, it's basically not a problem to fight a dozen gangsters, even if you can't practice fighting spirit, train your body well, and it's okay to deal with three or five by yourself.

In addition, there are great advantages to having fewer people, you can save money, I thought that after receiving Xavier, the economy would be more relaxed, but I thought that Xavier was not much better than himself, and he was also a poor bastard. But Xavier's industry is there, and there will always be a better thing to do in the future by improving the business.

Xavier heard Lin Xia say that he wanted to practice martial arts, and his head was a little big, and he said, "Big brother, can I not practice?"

Lin Xia knew that Xavier had played with his strong physical fitness when he debuted, and thought that he would be interested in martial arts, but he didn't want to practice Xavier, so he said strangely: "You don't want to practice martial arts?"

Xavier said: "Over the years, I have taken my brothers to fight everywhere, grabbed turf, and suffered too many injuries, and now when it rains on a cloudy day, I am in pain all over. What's more, I'm old, long past the age of cultivation. ”

Lin Xia heard the reason he said, and nodded secretly, as the saying goes, if you come out to mix, you have to pay it back sooner or later, don't look at the surface scenery of these bosses, only they know the sadness behind them. But he still said with a cold face: "No, even if you are disabled, you have to practice for me, if you are really disabled, I will raise you for the rest of your life." ”

The reason why Lin Xia still asked Xavier to cultivate was because Dou Qi could nourish the body, and if Xavier cultivated Dou Qi, those problems on his body would slowly recover as the level of Dou Qi increased.

Which of those martial artists is not scarred, if it is an ordinary person who has not cultivated Douqi, the grave is full of grass.

Seeing that Lin Xia was resolute, Xavier knew that it was useless to argue, so he could only say, "I know." ”

After that, Lin Xia told the two of them to speed up the construction of the headquarters, and said some other arrangements, and told the two to go and get busy. Lin Xia returned to the Viscount's Mansion to continue discussing magic with Bacon.

Lin Xia carefully studied the magic that Bacon wrote to himself, and tested each magic again, with the proficiency of true qi control, with his current true qi reserves, the second-level magic could probably be cast about fifty times, and the first-level magic was almost negligible.

I remembered that the reason why I used first-level magic for the first time and hollowed out most of my true qi was mainly because I didn't control my true qi for the first time.

It's a pity that Bacon only knows a few second-level magic at most, and no matter how advanced magic is, his teacher has never been exposed to it.

Lin Xia and Bacon nested in the Viscount's Mansion for more than a month, and in the first few days of this month, Lin Xia also went to the casino to have a look, and the casino was watched by Xavier, and he didn't have anything to do.

I went to the Hongxing headquarters that was being repaired, although the courtyard wall was being built and several houses were being cleaned, Troy was watching these things, and he had nothing to do.

Although the headquarters has not yet been completed, Sean has already taken his brothers to practice martial arts in the courtyard of the headquarters, and the third-level martial artist Borg assists him, and he also wants to see if he can learn something from Sean, after all, Sean is a peerless genius in his eyes.

With Borg's assistance, Sean had already made a detailed cultivation plan for the cultivation of the Hongxing brothers, and Lin Xia had no idea where to start.

Finally, there is the brothel, well, Lin Xia doesn't like to go to a place like a brothel either.

Hong Xing really didn't have anything to do with Lin Xia, so in the end he simply stopped going and let the brothers do it well. And he himself studied magic every day at the Viscount's Court and Bacon. The academy also went to walk around occasionally, and the teachers of the academy also turned a blind eye to him because Lin Xia was a nobleman.
