If Lam Kee Stadium wants to avoid losses, the only way out is undoubtedly to let the major casinos cancel the gambling matches related to the various events of Lam Kee Stadium.

On the stone bench, Lin Dong was helpless, he just thought of a way to solve the problem that there was no audience in Lin Kee Gymnasium, and he was happy for a long time, and there was such a thing as a gambling match.

If you want the casino to cancel the gambling game, it is equivalent to destroying a new source of wealth for the major casinos, which is no less than being the enemy of the major casinos.

In terms of force, Lin Dong is confident that there are no people in Lingnan City that he can't afford to provoke, let alone all casinos, even if it is all the families in Lingnan City, he is not afraid at all.

But if you are not stunned, you are really going to make a big fuss, but it is not what Lin Dong wants to see.

For Lin Dong, with Liu Xiu, the prince, there is no way to expose the escort unless it is forced to do so. Similarly, Gu Huanzong's hole card and his own strength can be hidden all the time.

For the sake of today, I can only try to see if it can end peacefully, which may be surnamed, and it is unlikely that the vision and courage of the owner of the gambling house will come from the sky, but it will never hurt to try. If it doesn't work, then find a way to go to Lingnan City to find a force that can suppress the major gambling houses, but it really can't work, and you can only let Gu Huanzong or yourself go out in person.

That's right!

Lin Dong's heart moved, although the gambling game is extremely harmful to the future development of Lin Kee Gymnasium, it can also promote the enthusiasm of the audience. If you can take it into your own hands and remove the harm, it is not a good thing. Properly utilized, it won't even be less beneficial than a sports star.

If you want to remove the harm of gambling, the fairness of the game must be guaranteed, and again, it is undoubtedly that the stakes should not be too big. If it is too big, the income may increase significantly, but it will greatly hinder the future development of Lam Kee Gymnasium and seriously affect the reputation of Lam Kee Gymnasium. If you can control the bet within 100 cents, there will be no problem.

The stakes are too small, though not very exciting. But small gambling pleasure, as long as you make a profit in the gambling game, you don't want to make a profit, and the lucky three or five spend more than a dozen dollars from time to time to earn the money for a ticket, which is also a small surprise. If you're unlucky, you should just buy a ticket with a slightly better location, so you don't have to worry too much.

Without the negative impact, the appearance of the gambling game will only make the audience more talkative.

After thinking about it for a moment and making sure that there were no disadvantages to controlling the gambling game, Lin Dong looked up at Zhang Jiufang, who was lying on the ground and was submissive, and said, "Get up!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Zhang Jiufang hurriedly shook his head, understanding that after he fell from the wolf's den to the tiger's den, his title was also changed: "In front of the uncle, how can I stand." ”

"How about a discussion?" Zhang Jiufang's reaction, Lin Dong was very satisfied, he heard the onlookers-by's description of Zhang Jiufang as a person, and he was also worried that this guy would be arrogant and would refuse to cooperate regardless of his surname. Now, he's relieved.

Zhang Jiufang didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly nodded: "You say, if you have any orders, just ask, uncle." ”

"How about being a full-time painter for the Lin Kee Gymnasium?" Lin Dong asked.

"Lin Ji Gymnasium, full-time painter?" Zhang Jiufang didn't quite understand.

Lin Dong nodded and said, "Yes, I am the owner of Lin Kee Gymnasium, and I need a painter for a long time." Your job is to draw the actions of the characters we designate as required. ”

"This, this ......" Zhang Jiufang was puzzled: "...... over there Hong Ye"

"Hong Wanfu, I'll help you solve it." Lin Dong said slowly: "In terms of wages, it is tentatively set at ten taels of silver a month. ”

Zhang Jiufang is still hesitant, ten taels of silver a month's salary, more than ninety percent of people are willing to work for a lifetime. But for him, although it is a stable income, it is still a little lower. What's more, he never thought about who he had been a painter for. Painting a picture like collecting more than ten or twenty taels of silver, how comfortable and comfortable.

Lin Dong ignored Zhang Jiufang's expression, and said to himself: "In the future, depending on the situation, if you do well, you can add more money, if you don't do well or are lazy, you may only be paid a straw mat." ”

"Straw mats?" Zhang Jiufang was stunned and didn't react for a while.

"Yes!" Lin Dong sneered: "Give it to you to collect the corpse." ”

Zhang Jiufang was so frightened that his soul flew away, and after remembering the situation he was in, he didn't care if he was willing to go to Lin Ji Gymnasium to be a painter, and he was busy promising to do things well and never be lazy.

"Alright, wait outside the door." Lin Dong waved his hand.

Zhang Jiufang hurriedly stood up, and only after walking a few steps, Lin Dong's voice sounded again: "Remember, don't try to play any tricks with me, in the territory of the Great Han Kingdom, it is easy for me to find you." ”

"No, no, no!" Zhang Jiufang turned his head and smiled a few times, and then went straight to the side door of the backyard.

"Let him stay in the Lin Ji Gymnasium honestly for a few days, after the limelight, Hong Wanfu knows that he is now a member of our Lin Ji Inn, and he should not trouble him." Lin Dong said lightly.

Liu An nodded.

"Again, first of all, sports star ......"

Lin Dong slowly talked about his ideas about sports stars and gambling games, and waited until Liu An fully understood, wrote them all down, and instructed him to consider whether there was any improvement while preparing, and then asked him to go to the lobby to inform Ma Chun.

Walking side by side with Liu An, arriving at the front yard, Lin Dong sat down at the stone table, slowly thinking about the purpose of Liang Gufeng's trip, and after a while, Liu An ran back, said hello, and went straight to the backyard to find Zhang Jiufang.

After waiting for a while, Liang Gufeng walked in accompanied by Ma Chun.

Liang Gufeng is in his early fifties, his beard is white, but he walks with dragon steps, and his spirit is better than Ma Chun.

"Shopkeeper Lin, I have admired my name for a long time, and I finally saw it today."

Less than five meters, after Lin Dong got up, Liang Gufeng laughed, his voice was like a Hong Zhong, full of energy.

"The shopkeeper Liang is old and strong, and he has been in Lingnan City for twenty or thirty years." After Lin Dong smiled and invited Liang Gufeng to sit down, he said politely: "Compared to you, I am nothing." ”

"Shopkeeper Lin is polite, you don't know, you really want to talk ......about it," Liang Gufeng said heartily: "A few days ago, I heard that Lin Ji Inn was going to open a branch in Lingnan City, but I was scared. Whether it was the earliest Southwest City, or the Autumn Wind City, or other counties under the jurisdiction of the Autumn Wind Mansion later, our Fenglin Restaurant met the Lin Ji Inn, but they were all defeated. This time, I hope that Shopkeeper Lin can be merciful. ”

"Shopkeeper Liang is too modest, with the strength of our Lin Ji Inn, in a place like Lingnan City, it is already considered luck to earn one hundred and eighty taels of silver every day." Lin Dong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it should be me asking the shopkeeper Liang to be merciful." ”

"Shopkeeper Lin is more modest in his words, if Lin Ji Inn doesn't have the strength, I will ...... this trip" Liang Gufeng said meaningfully: "How could I come all the way to ask Shopkeeper Lin to lend a helping hand." ”

Sure enough, Liang Gufeng's intention was to join forces.

Lin Dong and Ma Chun glanced at each other, and waited until the guy who followed after put down the tea and left, taking advantage of Ma Chun's time to pour the tea, Lin Dong smiled and said politely: "Shopkeeper Liang said that it would be too much to lend a hand, if you have any instructions, you can do it, I promise not to frown." ”

"Then I'll tell you the truth?" Liang Gufeng said with a smile.

Although the polite words have improved, there is no reason to waste time, Lin Dong nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Liang, please speak." ”

"Shopkeeper Lin, you should know about the price reduction of our Fenglin Restaurant, right?" Liang Gufeng asked.

"Hear a little." Lin Dong said lightly: "It seems to be yesterday, and it happens to be the first day of our Lin Ji Inn." ”

These words have a bit of a sneering flavor. Liang Gufeng is an old man, and this joke is worse for him than tickling. On his face, he didn't see the slightest blush and said: "It's yesterday, the reason, presumably Shopkeeper Lin also knows it?" ”

Clear is clear, and if you say it, it will be a bit faceless. Lin Ji Inn is new to the hotel, there is no need to fight with Fenglin Restaurant, especially in the stage of the battle between Fenglin Inn and Hongfu Restaurant, as long as it does not provoke Mao Liang Gufeng, Liang Gufeng knows that Lin Ji Inn is the biggest rival of Fenglin Inn in the future, but he will choose to rationally put Lin Kee Inn aside first. Therefore, Lin Dong shook his head with a puzzled expression and said, "Is there anything else that Shopkeeper Liang can't do?" ”

"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, our Fenglin Restaurant is in a big crisis." Liang Gufeng said with a look of annoyance: "The matter has to be said to the period before the Chamber of Commerce has not been confirmed, and the shopkeeper Lin also knows that we know a little bit about the Chamber of Commerce in the main building of Fenglin Restaurant. In order to facilitate diners, we will occasionally expose one or two, but I didn't expect that Hong Wanfu, the owner of Hongfu Restaurant, mistakenly thought that we were deliberately crowding out Hongfu Restaurant. ”

"Boss Hong is too worried." After Lin Dong replied casually, he looked at Liang Gufeng with a smile, this Liang shopkeeper, his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is absolutely extraordinary.

"It's not, it's a pity! Boss Hong doesn't have the generosity of Shopkeeper Lin, so he has to think that our Fenglin Restaurant is crowding them out. Liang Gufeng's old face showed resentment: "As a result, Boss Hong joined forces with major restaurants to suppress our Fenglin Restaurant. That's all it takes, doing business is just right, and it's no wonder if you lose. However, this Boss Hong still relied on his close relationship with his predecessor and used official forces to suppress us. ”

On the side, seeing that Lin Dong had no intention of responding, Ma Chun answered with a surprised face: "There is still such a thing? ”

"Steward Ma didn't know, at that time, I was almost driven crazy by them. Fortunately, our Fenglin Restaurant also has some connections in Lingnan City and even the entire Han Kingdom, and the former Juntai has been forced for a while, and he doesn't dare to force it anymore. Liang Gufeng said with a frightened face: "Until the Chamber of Commerce officially confirms it, our Fenglin Restaurant gritted its teeth and resisted with a solid foundation, and this nightmare will be over." ”

"The ability of the shopkeeper Liang is definitely one of the reasons." Ma Chun said with a smile: "If I want to change it to me as the shopkeeper of Liang, at this time, it is estimated that it is useless to be scolded by the boss in the main building." ”

Liang Gufeng stroked his long beard and said with an affirmative expression: "Steward Ma is young and promising, but it is not comparable to my old bones." Not to mention anything else, if Steward Ma can come to our Fenglin Restaurant, the main building will definitely have to arrange a position for you as the chief steward of the main building. Look at me again, it's been decades, and I'm just the shopkeeper of a county-level branch building, and I'm making judgments. ”

"Shopkeeper Liang, this is a bit of a corner of my wall." Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Who doesn't know who is in charge of horses, so why should Shopkeeper Lin worry about this." Liang Gufeng shook his head in disbelief.

After glancing at Lin Dong and getting an affirmative gaze, Ma Chun spoke: "Fenglin Restaurant can even survive such a thrilling time, this time, what kind of crisis will make Shopkeeper Liang want to use other forces?" As far as I know, the relationship between the current Juntai and Boss Hong should not be too close, otherwise, there would not have been so many rumors about the relationship between Juntai and Boss Hong in the near future. This is equivalent to the fact that even if Boss Hong and the major restaurants join forces again, it will not be as good as the pressure last time. ”

"The horse steward doesn't know anything, speaking of which, the pressure this time is greater than the last time." Liang Gufeng explained: "Although the relationship between the county and the Taiwan is missing, Hong Wanfu is determined to do his best to squeeze our Fenglin Restaurant down this time, and the cost alone is more than last time to make up for this." Again, the last crisis has only been about half a year ago, and our Fenglin Restaurant has suffered a heavy blow, and its vitality has not yet recovered. That's why I had to turn to Shopkeeper Lin for help, hoping to get through this crisis. ”

"What does Shopkeeper Liang want us to do at Lin Ji Inn?" Lin Dong asked.

"It's very simple, if Lin Ji Inn can make some adjustments to the wine and food of Hongfu Restaurant, so that Hongfu Restaurant has to be distracted." Liang Gufeng said with a smile: "I believe that the pressure on our Fenglin Restaurant will be much less." ”

"How?" Lin Dong asked.

"In addition to the three signature dishes, Hongfu Restaurant also has twelve spirit beast spirit materials, which are the recipes that diners talk about." Liang Gufeng looked at Lin Dong without blinking, and said slowly: "In terms of the twelve spirit beast spirit materials, if Lin Ji Inn can reduce the price of these twelve spirit beast spirit materials to the lowest price of the profit stipulated by the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time increase the weight of these twelve spirit beast spirit materials, and announce that the price of these twelve spirit beast spirit materials is three times that of other wine and food, I believe ...... If there are diners who want to eat these twelve spirit beast spirit materials, they will definitely think of Lin Ji Inn for the first time. ”

"People who can afford to eat spirit beast spiritual materials, the east of the city only accounts for less than two Chengren. If these spirit beast spirit materials belong to the third or fourth order or above, more than eighty percent of the people who can afford to eat are in the city. Lin Dong said leisurely: "Our Lin Kee Inn has increased its weight, and Hongfu Restaurant can completely make up for it as long as it increases." The cumulative price of wine and food is three times that of ordinary wine and food, and the attraction may be some, but I am afraid it is enough to make those who can afford to eat the spirit materials of third- and fourth-order spirit beasts come to the east of the city, after all, they are not short of silver, and if they want to accumulate the price of wine and food, when they come once, they can order two or three tables, and accumulate enough at one time. In addition, the chef of Hongfu Restaurant is one or two better than us in terms of spirit beasts and spiritual materials, Liang shopkeeper, this method, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”

Liang Gufeng shook his head slowly and said, "Whether it's geographical limitations or lack of cooking skills. With two major specialties and six quirky spicy dishes, plus a VIP card and a spirit stone fan, the attraction of Lin Kee Inn is more than enough to make up for it. Not to mention, within two or three months, it will win Hongfu Restaurant. ”

"Makes sense, but it's ......" Lin Dong continued: "Shopkeeper Liang only said that Hongfu Restaurant only said that there are twelve spirit beasts and spiritual materials with better cooking skills, and three signature dishes?" ”

"In terms of the three signature dishes, we will find a way to deal with them." Liang Gufeng said with a smile: "Of course, you also need the help of Lin Ji Inn. ”

"How can I help?" Lin Dong smiled brightly, with the various characteristics of Lin Ji Inn, in a short period of time, it is not difficult to suppress the signature dishes of Hongfu Restaurant, just increase these characteristics. The difficult thing is that after two or three months, what should Lin Ji Inn do.

The twelve spirit beast spirit materials are good to say, but they just increase the cumulative price of the wine and food of the VIP card. For Lin Ji Inn, the loss is only these twelve spirit beast spirit materials, and it will take a year or two to slowly reduce the amount so as not to annoy the diners, and then it will speed up the acquisition conditions of a few VIP cards and spirit stone fans, so that the saturation of these two characteristics will come some time in advance.

But once the various features are increased, it will be a direct impact. The real attraction of Lin Kee Inn is also all in this aspect, once the saturation time is greatly advanced, it is equivalent to Lin Kee Inn will lack a part of the time to cultivate regular customers.

Regular customers are not cultivated in a day or two, relying on VIP cards, spirit stone fans and other characteristics, although Lin Ji Inn does not have to worry about no diners in two or three months, but if you want to really develop diners into mature guests, there can be one or two out of ten, and Lin Dong will be content. After all, two or three months is not a long time. In total, even if these diners visit the restaurant once in five days, it is only more than ten times.

Whether it's the taste or the environment, it's only a dozen times, and it feels weird when you want diners to get used to it or even run to other restaurants, even if Lin Kee Inn has various characteristics hanging by the aftermath, it is even more difficult.

If the time is shortened by another month, Ma Chun only needs to count how much silver he has earned today after closing, and basically he doesn't need to think about which familiar faces will come to the inn today. Even if there is, it is completely for the characteristics of Lin Kee Inn.

"It's not difficult!" Liang Gufeng wrote lightly: "The perfume of our Fenglin Restaurant, Shopkeeper Lin should know, right?" ”

"I know, it is said that when added to food, it can make the flavor of various ingredients stronger, and the taste is also very beneficial." Lin Dong nodded, he specially asked Ma Chun to collect the characteristics of the signature dishes of major restaurants and various attractive characteristics, and the perfume of Fenglin Restaurant was one of them.

According to the information released by the Chamber of Commerce, Tian Perfume is an extremely cold ice cube, which was collected from a special place in Fenglin Restaurant. In the entire Han Kingdom, there is only Fenglin Restaurant, and it is limited to Fenglin Restaurant in Lingnan City.

In order to announce the cost, Fenglin Restaurant had to list this perfume, but the method and place of obtaining it were extremely strange, according to the information of the Chamber of Commerce, it was added to the cold ice with many strange spirit beast spirit material powder, and then stored for several years to get it.

Naturally, no one believes this method, and everyone understands that Fenglin Restaurant is just a method made up in order to conceal the place and method of obtaining perfume, and to raise the cost of perfume. Therefore, Lin Dong only knows this about this perfume.

"If, our Fenglin Restaurant can provide Lin Kee Inn with perfume for a long time, what does Shopkeeper Lin think?"

Liang Gufeng looked at Lin Dong with a smile, he believed that this temptation, as a restaurant owner, would never be able to refuse.

Lin Dong's expression, just like Liang Gufeng's guess, was stunned.
