Yanliu looked at Molan, lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, then looked up and smiled, "Alright, but let me make this clear from the start: I may be able to fool those stinky men with sweet words, but I can't bring myself to kill or commit arson."
If she had that ability, she wouldn't have been suppressed in that kind of place.
"Don't worry, we don't need you to commit murder or arson." Mo Lan glanced at the brightly lit pleasure boats along the riverbank, her eyes gleaming.
"That's good." Although she was looked down upon, she didn't care. She knew her own worth very well.
After the two parties made their agreement, Mo Lan watched Yan Liu leave before leisurely walking towards the restaurant.
"Boss, do you have some new ideas?" Redeeming Yanliu from her servitude for no reason is not the boss's style.
“I do have a new idea. Look at the pleasure boats floating on the water. Most of the people who can afford to go there are rich and powerful. Plus, it’s a mixed bag of people, making it a good place to gather information. If I could, I’d like to get a pleasure boat for myself.”
She had just glanced around and noticed that most of the cruise ships here were two stories high, while in her mandala there was a five-story cruise ship that, with just a little decoration, would absolutely outshine all the others.
Frost: "...Boss wants to indulge in some sensual pleasures?"
I always knew the boss was big spenders, but I never expected him to even want to get involved in brothels. I wonder if the old chieftain will grumble about it if he finds out.
"Have you noticed? Jiang County is different from Ye County and Guan County. The people here are more focused on enjoyment. If you want to integrate, you have to do as the Romans do. Although we're going to open a 'gentle retreat,' let's do something different and go straight for the high-end and elegant. We'll offer a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and entertainment, making money while also gathering information. Why not?"
With the right timing, location, and people, how could she miss it?
Jiangjun is a transportation hub for water transport and the confluence of the Jingwei River. To gain a foothold here, one must first establish a firm position.
To expand the security escort agency, it is imperative to develop its influence here.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan turned to look at Han Shuang and said, "You need to be prepared. In the future, we will definitely have a place in Jiang County."
Hearing her boss's tone, Han Shuang didn't object. Although the Mighty Dragon Escort Agency had a great reputation, everyone knew that its strength lay only in providing excellent security on the road. Once they entered a city or county, the local powerful families still held more sway.
Over the past three years, the Weilong Escort Agency has established a presence in many places. For convenience, they often sign lease agreements with local inns and pay extra money to seek protection.
Even so, they would open local grocery stores as a supplement. These stores did not bear the mark of the Dragon Escort Agency and would not be exposed unless absolutely necessary.
However, these are far from enough compared to the boss's goals.
Establishing one's own power base can indeed save a lot of trouble.
“The idea is good, but these kinds of pleasure boats are hard to order. I heard that it takes at least a year for a shipyard to deliver a job.” Han Shuang glanced at the pleasure boats floating on the river and couldn’t help but frown. “It would be great if someone could sell them.”
"Don't worry about the big ship, it will come when the time comes."
The Jingwei River is so vast, it would be strange if a painted boat suddenly appeared. Anyway, she didn't plan to stay in one place.
Enjoying the scenery along both banks of the river is also a great pleasure.
