"What are you waiting for? Let's start eating!"

"Thank you, Brother Ren!"

As soon as Gao Ren sat down, Ruby, the head housekeeper, began to report the expenses.

"Between Fei Hong's territory and Xian Shi's territory, you now have ten streets under your control,"

"On these ten streets, there are twenty-three nightclubs, thirty karaoke bars, and fifty-two restaurants!"

"The protection fees from these venues, plus income from valet parking and other similar services, can bring in around eight million a month!"

"But this eight million in income is barely enough to cover the salaries and bonuses you give to your underlings!"

Upon hearing this expense report, Gao Ren realized he had never expected to make money through these businesses.

Gao Ren has always been relying on brothels, small casinos, and loan sharking businesses!

The real money comes from these gray areas!

"A brothel, a small gambling den!"

Upon hearing this, Ruby continued,

"Fei Hong's territory is small; there are only five brothels and small casinos combined!"

"He has a lot of brothels and three small casinos, and he makes his money off women anyway!"

"The most important thing is that he has a lot of prostitutes working for him, besides the more than three hundred in the Heaven on Earth bathhouse,"

"The remaining brothels also number over two hundred,"

"These 500-plus people generate nearly ten million in profit for the slut every month!"

Upon hearing this number, Gao Ren frowned slightly and said...

"Is the commission rate from the Associated Press really that high?"

"After all these years of hard work, how come my savings are only a little over six million?!"

Ruby smiled slightly when she heard the question.

"They're just collaborating to produce chicken essence; they can't compete head-on with other groups!"

"A large portion of the expenses for the salty and wet forces comes from borrowing money from others to fight amongst themselves!"

After saying that, seeing Gao Ren gesture for her to continue, Ruby then spoke up.

"Even without the commission, just from the brothels and small casinos, we can earn more than 30 million a month. But after deducting the wages, bonuses, and bail fees for our underlings, we still have to add the gang's cut before we get our net profit..."

"But the gang's cut doesn't include how much money we gave our underlings or how many red envelopes we received..."
