The Tiger Saber Gang had "restructured" into what is now the Qingyuan City Managent Company, and its ability to generate money had dropped by at least a notch.
In this era, the quickest and most lucrative way to earn money has always been to break the rules.
Opening a casino and earning a cut as the house could make money, but it wasn't nearly as profitable as getting croupiers to cheat, setting up traps to con people, and then profiting from usurious loans.
Opening a brothel, the most lucrative thod would of course be to force buying and selling, pressuring the innocent into prostitution, and then making them earn money for you until they die, without even the need to pay them wages.
Besides, the profits from opium dens don't even need to be ntioned; once open, they're guaranteed moneymakers, never worrying about being unable to sell the goods.
But the Qingyuan City Managent Company does none of these things.
Their casinos are clean, without any behind-the-scenes tricks and strictly no usurious loans; brothels not only don't withhold money, but they also improve the 'employees'' welfare benefits, providing regular free health checkups and free dical care.
They even stopped collecting protection money and replaced it with a "City Managent Fee", and because the fee collected is small but the services provided are extensive, often having to pay out of pocket to repair this and that for the rchants, plus labor costs, etc., this part of the budget is actually losing money each month.
So, all things considered, the Qingyuan City Managent Company's ability to generate money is not proportional to its size.
The pure profit of the original Tiger Saber Gang, excluding all expenses, was around one million yuan per year—this was the money that could go directly into Yu Hu's pockets.
The current Qingyuan City Managent Company's profitability is far from what the Tiger Saber Gang used to be, but fortunately, the expenses are not as high.
The main point is that the Qingyuan City Managent Company does not have to spend a lot of money each month to bribe officials and smooth out relations, so calculating it out, the pure profit every month is about fifty thousand yuan.
This money also could go directly into Li Fei's own pockets.
On the other hand, Shangguan Xiao had also transferred Qingyuan Fist Village to Li Fei, excluding all expenses, this village could bring nearly one hundred thousand yuan of pure profit to Li Fei every month!
It seems that Qingyuan Fist Village is sowhat more profitable, but the Qingyuan City Managent Company is larger, supports more people, and is involved in more businesses, with a far greater developnt prospect than the village.
At this ti, Li Fei was asking Liu San how much funds he could utilize. After a rough calculation, Liu San replied,
"The village has about 470,000 in liquid funds that can be used, and the company has about 260,000, because we just issued a batch of salaries the other day, paid for a shipnt of Exotic Beast Food, and bought a batch of Elixirs on the black market, so the company's available funds are a bit less."
"Alright, get this money ready for , change it all to cash. I need to be able to get my hands on it whenever necessary."
Li Fei commanded.
In the current situation, money couldn't play a decisive role, but it was certainly useful.
Seven hundred thousand or so in this era could be enough to sway so Tao Foundation experts.
"Alright, Evil Ghost, rest assured, I'll go prepare it imdiately."
Liu San said.
After hanging up the phone, Li Fei got up and walked to the storage cabinet, took out an Elixir, and began his training for the evening.
...
The sa night, at Human Face Villa.
"Beast King" Yu Longqing was fishing by the lake, which was his daily hobby.
It was indeed a paradox that soone so cruel and bloodthirsty had fishing, an activity conducive to cultivating one's character, as his greatest hobby.
"Boss, it's confird. Zhang Zongyang's corpse is being autopsied at Zhi Ge General Hospital. The Zhang Family went to protest, but they were rejected, and now there's chaos within the Zhang Family itself. The first, second, and third branch families are all busy pulling strings everywhere to seize power."
A subordinate ca to report.
Hearing this, the corners of Yu Longqing's mouth curled up into a smile,
"Zhang Zongyang, the old man, was wise his whole life, but sadly, he ssed up at the last mont, leaving behind such a huge inheritance for others to take advantage of."
From his words, it was clear that he had no faith in the remaining mbers of the Zhang Family to keep the family fortune intact.
"Boss, should we take action now?"
The subordinate looked at Yu Longqing, implying whether they should take advantage of the situation and start dividing up the Zhang Family's considerable assets.
"Not yet."
Yu Longqing shook his head, his fishing rod steady, the line unshaken, "First, let's finish off the piece of at that's co to our lips."
"What do you an?"
"The goods for Xing City haven't been sent yet, have they?"
"Not yet, they're scheduled to be sent early tomorrow."
"We don't need to send them then."
"If they ask about it on that side, should we stall, or should we openly break away?"
"Heh."
Yu Longqing let out a cold laugh, recalling the figure that stood before him in an Evil Ghost Mask:
"If they ask, tell them that if they want the goods, have Green-faced Ghost co in person!"
When Green-faced Ghost had co alone to Human Face Villa and left unscathed, it had been a humiliation for Yu Longqing.
If there were a next ti, he definitely would not let Green-faced Ghost get away!
"Yes, I understand, boss."
The subordinate turned to leave.
Swish—
As soon as he turned around, Yu Longqing pulled a big fish out of the lake.
This fish, longer than two ters, was also no ordinary fish.
It struggled fiercely, yet an invisible force tightly bound it, unable to shake off the hook in its mouth.
...
The next morning, as usual, Li Fei entered Mo Yizhou's classroom, ready to attend the poison class.
But this ti, there was nobody in the classroom.
Mo Yizhou was always early, arriving ahead of ti to do research in the classroom.
