Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Unscrupulous Merchant



Lin Yun let the group in.

Ding Wei was taken aback when he saw the warehouse full of things. He thought they were all power banks. He only breathed a sigh of relief after he realized that many of the items were not power banks.

If these are all power banks, how many power banks would that be? They would probably be worth hundreds of millions.

It's important to know that power banks are very small; these power banks are only packaged in large boxes, not in smaller packages.

However, when Ding Wei heard Lin Yun say that there were a total of 600,000 power banks here, he still gasped.

With a wholesale price of 180 yuan per power bank, 600,000 power banks would be worth over 100 million yuan.

"Is this the jacuzzi you were talking about?" Lin Mengmeng looked at the large packaging box, feeling eager to try it out, and asked.

She had heard Lin Yun say that the effects of this kind of jacuzzi could be compared to those very delicious dishes, which made her really want to try using this kind of jacuzzi.

“That’s good. You can try it out this afternoon after the hotel installs a batch.” Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

"Let's try it at the hotel..." Lin Mengmeng pondered, "Lin Yun, have you ever thought about this? Bathtubs are a rather special item. Many people don't like using bathtubs that others have used. Therefore, many people don't like using hotel bathtubs..."

“That’s a problem.” Lin Yun frowned slightly.

That day, he and Xia Qingqing stayed at a hotel, so they didn't use the bathtub in that room.

"Many people don't like using hotel bathtubs, mostly because they're worried about the cleanliness. These bathtubs have excellent cleaning facilities and specialized equipment to check their cleanliness. This equipment can be used in many places and is completely reliable. Once people have seen the cleaning process and seen the cleanliness through the equipment, they'll probably be less concerned. If they're still worried, they can ask the staff to clean it again, twice, three times..." Lin Yun quickly relaxed his brow and said.

He believed in the allure of the jacuzzi.

Not everyone is a germaphobe. Once a few people have tried the jacuzzi, word will spread, and many people will fall in love with it. This type of jacuzzi will become a feature of hotels.

"If they still don't want to use the hotel's jacuzzi, they can buy one of these jacuzzi to take home..." Lin Yun paused, smiled slightly, and said.

Who says these jacuzzi can't be sold anymore?

In this way, Qingyun Hotel can serve as a promotional base for these jacuzzi.

At the same time, a series of thoughts arose in Lin Yun's mind.

If the hotel and restaurant develop, they will inevitably become gathering places for the wealthy. At that time, in addition to the jacuzzi, he can also promote other products in these two places. He can turn the restaurant and hotel into a base for promoting new products.

"Can I buy one of these jacuzzi? How much does one cost? Can you sell me one?" Lin Mengmeng's eyes lit up as she quickly asked.

Because of the delicious food, she trusted Lin Yun's description of the bathtub completely, and if it weren't too expensive, she planned to buy one.

"I plan to price this bathtub at 1.88 million each. If you want to buy it, I'll give you a discount, so it'll be 1 million each," Lin Yun said with a smile. He had already figured out that Lin Mengmeng's family was probably well-off, and they should be able to afford this kind of bathtub.

"One million each, and that's after a discount?" Lin Mengmeng was shocked.

She thought these bathtubs might not be cheap, but she didn't expect them to be this expensive—one million each, just for a bathtub! This is outrageous!

"Over a million for a bathtub?"

Ding Wei and his bodyguards and security guards were also taken aback.

They also didn't expect a bathtub to be so expensive.

"This price isn't expensive. You should know that it's because of this bathtub that I plan to price the cheapest room at Qingyun Hotel at 6,660 yuan, which is only the price for a stay of over 200 days. It's a great deal," Lin Yun said, shaking his head.

"I'll wait until the hotel has installed it and I can try it out before deciding whether to buy it or not," Lin Mengmeng said with a wry smile.

Although her father was the head of the Golden Sword Sect and the Golden Sword Security Company was an enterprise of the Golden Sword Sect, her family's money didn't come from thin air. A bathtub costing one million was too expensive. She had to try it out before deciding whether to buy it or not.

This was only after she had tasted those delicacies; otherwise, she wouldn't have even considered it.

A million dollars for a bathtub? That's a joke.

"Okay." Lin Yun nodded with a smile.

Now, although he and Lin Mengmeng are quite familiar with each other, they haven't reached the point where he would casually give her items worth over a million yuan.

Especially since the other party is a beautiful girl, it's easy for misunderstandings to arise.

He can offer the other party a discount, that's no problem.

Soon, the two trucks that Ding Wei had hired arrived.

Lin Yun had one of the trucks carry some of the renovation materials, props, and jacuzzi to Qingyun Hotel and hand them over to Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing is familiarizing herself with various matters at the hotel.

At the same time, he had two bodyguards follow him in the car.

After all, the renovation materials, props, and jacuzzi in this car were quite valuable, and having two bodyguards with him made him feel more at ease.

Before they arrived, Lin Yun had already sent a bodyguard to find a renovation team. Jin Jian Security Company had extensive connections, and through them, the bodyguard easily found a renovation team. The bodyguard had already called Lin Yun.

The packaging boxes for these renovation materials, props, and jacuzzi all come with installation instructions, so once they're delivered to the hotel, the renovation workers can install them.

Seeing this, Lin Mengmeng said she had already seen the situation here, and she would go back to the hotel with Xia Qingqing.

Lin Yun still needed to recruit agents for the power bank, so he didn't go back with Lin Mengmeng.

He asked Lin Mengmeng to take a square alloy box back and give it to Xia Qingqing, explaining that the box contained cooking seasonings.

Lin Yun prepared several other seasonings, not just one type. He had already sent a message to Xia Qingqing, asking her to handle them.

"Aren't you afraid I'll secretly take some?" Lin Mengmeng joked, seeing how confidently Lin Yun had entrusted the box to her.

She knew how precious this seasoning was and how delicious the dishes made with it were. This box of seasoning was too tempting for a foodie like her.

"This box has fingerprint and iris passwords, only Qingqing and I can open it," Lin Yun said with a smile. This was a box he specially customized on the Cosmic Trading System. This box was just one of many similar boxes of different sizes.

"Tch! So stingy!" Lin Mengmeng rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"After you take this box of seasonings over, you can have Qingqing give you some. I'll talk to Qingqing about it later. Besides, since you're often with Qingqing, I don't think she'd ask you for money when you eat at restaurants," Lin Yun said with a smile.

Lin Mengmeng is a highly skilled fighter. As long as she is with Xia Qingqing, it's like Xia Qingqing has an extra super bodyguard. Compared to that, Xia Qingqing treating her to some food is nothing.

A Class A bodyguard costs 100,000 yuan per month. Lin Mengmeng's skills far exceed those of a Class A bodyguard. Lin Yun estimates that, according to the standards of Golden Sword Security Company, 300,000 or even 500,000 yuan per month would be quite normal, and there would still be a shortage of available personnel.

Therefore, the cost of Lin Mengmeng protecting Xia Qingqing for a day is at least more than 10,000 yuan. Although the food made with this seasoning is more expensive, what does it matter if she treats the other party to some?

"You set such a high price, how could I possibly eat for free every day? Hmph, I'm leaving, you heartless businessman," Lin Mengmeng rolled her eyes again and said.

She raised the box in her hand, turned around and left.

In her mind, she had already labeled Lin Yun as a "heartless businessman".

A single dish can cost thousands of dollars, and a regular hotel room can cost thousands of dollars just for a jacuzzi. A jacuzzi can even cost over a million dollars. What else can you call them but unscrupulous businessmen?

She didn't believe that these seasonings and the jacuzzi cost that much.

However, she didn't actually have a bad impression of Lin Yun; she was mostly joking when she said that.

Her family is in business.

She was well aware that some industries and some products were extremely profitable.

Those vegetables are definitely worth the price; that's the market rate. If they were sold cheaply, it would be unfair to them, because there are many exorbitantly priced vegetables that are far less delicious than those.

If the effects of the jacuzzi are really as good as Lin Yun said, then a price of over a million yuan is not unacceptable; there are too many wealthy people in this society.

Even if we don't talk about jacuzzi costing over a million, you can find many jacuzzi costing several hundred thousand, which are just a few times more expensive.

For example, their company's security guards are all human beings, and they are all security guards, so why do some security guards only earn a few thousand yuan a month, while others earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a month?

Because of the difference in strength, if the prices are the same, wouldn't those powerful security guards and bodyguards be losing out?
