General Liu said that we should find a place ourselves, and fence off as much land as possible. This is like a windfall!
If the gambling den is large enough, then there can be enough gambling tables to fit.
At that time, we can develop enough projects, even including restaurants, brothels, and taverns, so that guests can do whatever they want when they come.
This is how gambling dens in many big cities operate, combining these facilities into one place.
Now that Liu Feng has said they can acquire land themselves, Boss Feng will definitely spare no expense to build a complete money pit in Zhengde County.
In the future, all these profitable industries in Zhengde County will be controlled by Boss Feng alone.
Boss Feng is the de facto controller of the entire Zhengde County.
Upon hearing Liu Feng's promise to the gambling den, the people at the brothel immediately became anxious.
He understood all too well what it meant for the casino to acquire such a large piece of land, and what a terrible future awaited them.
After all, normally these two professions exist in common, and they can even be combined into one.
Although the things they do are different, what if the gambling dens were to add these kinds of erotic activities to their operations?
Even if Liu Feng agrees to let them build the brothel, a lot of their business will be taken away.
Who wouldn't be tempted by the prospect of spending a romantic night with someone after gambling to their heart's content?
Therefore, if gambling dens could really freely acquire land, it would be equivalent to directly seizing control of the wealthy's money.
If the gambling den has already made all the noise, then what are they still doing here?
"General Liu, we're not short of money."
"General Liu, if we can occupy a piece of land, we will definitely give more. We can split it 40/60."
After all, there is a big difference between the nature of a brothel and a casino.
The money earned from the customers doesn't go entirely to the brothel; a portion also goes to the girls.
The most profitable part is the cost of the drinks and other food items.
If there are a few courtesans who can make a name for themselves, to the point that a single meeting costs a thousand gold coins, then you can earn more. But if there are no courtesans, then this money is hard to earn.
However, it's not easy to produce a top courtesan. It takes at least half a year. Buying a girl requires a huge investment in training her to become a top courtesan.
This is fundamentally different from the one-off deal in gambling dens.
Moreover, gambling dens can lend money on the spot, making them as profitable as minting coins.
Now that they're willing to offer a 40/60 split, it's already killing the brothel.
But Liu Feng wasn't in a hurry. Actually, what she valued about the brothel and the reason she was willing to let them in wasn't the brothel's ability to make money.
The most important thing is the brothel's capacity to accommodate guests.
There are not many villages, towns, and county towns in the surrounding area that have this industry.
There used to be one in Wenhuang County, but after Liu Feng went there time and time again, it had completely closed down.
Although Liu Feng did not shut down the Yihong Courtyard in Wenhuang County, it was still somewhat related to Liu Feng.
Otherwise, why would Liu Feng have expressed his feelings after seeing the closed-down Yihong Courtyard last time?
Indeed, the Yihong Courtyard in Wenhuang County is incompatible with Liu Feng; Liu Feng is their nemesis.
Tianyong City is even more peculiar. Although there are businesses there, they dare not openly do business because Linghu Zheng was there at that time.
And these are the things that Linghu Zheng hates the most.
Although it now exists and is openly doing business, with the opening of waterways, Zhengde County is now the distribution center for goods, and Tianyong City has lost its original locational advantage.
For this kind of business and gambling den, what they value most are people and money.
And this kind of business itself has the ability to attract people.
So this is what Liu Feng values, and with this place, Liu Feng can also choose to use it to entertain others.
Humans are strange like that. They might not be willing to walk dozens of miles for gambling, but they would be willing to walk any distance just to catch a glimpse of a courtesan and satisfy their eyes.
Zhengde County now enjoys convenient waterways, with ferry crossings gradually opening and official and merchant ships constantly coming and going, attracting even more dignitaries and wealthy merchants.
Perhaps, before long, my little Zhengde County will be able to connect directly to the capital.
If a few courtesans with renowned beauty were to emerge from our own Red Mansion, that would be wonderful! With the convenience of waterways, people from all over would flock here.
Then everyone will know that the most beautiful courtesan in Youzhou is the best in the world.
"Um...this..."
Liu Feng deliberately pretended to be thinking seriously.
"But running a Red Mansion these days is no easy task."
"Dream of the Red Chamber, Dream of the Red Chamber, it should at least have beauties, do you have any?"
Liu Feng asked with a smile.
