Chapter 870: High-End Comprehensive Squander Club

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Don’t talk about money with me. It harms relationships, right?

The people in formal clothes instantly changed their ways—aye, if we don’t have to talk about money, everything becomes easy...

The first one sat down next to Hong Dali and smiled. He lowered his voice and said, “Erm, Sir, you see, the future business prospects for this place is extremely high. Therefore, we came to collaborate with you. Hmm, I won’t bore you with the specific offers, they will definitely satisfy you. The only thing I want to say is that I can arrange for a few elf girls that are absolute beauties to service you. I guarantee that you will feel like an emperor. Whatever you ask of them, they will fulfill your wishes!”

Eh? This is good. Aren’t these the legendary hidden rules of the mall? Speaking of which, I’ve been a prodigal for so long, but I’ve yet to encounter any hidden rules. Hm, it’s cool!

Then, that man was dragged out by Tang Muxin, Zhang Yi, and Li Nianwei. He was half beaten to death—Zhang Yi literally dragged him out on one leg.

Hong Dali was sweating profusely.

What the heck? My Fiancée is behind me, but you still dare talk about that. Asking for trouble. Have you never heard that saying before?

The second person followed. He was more careful and did not dare to use the beauty trick. He changed his plans and said, “Hmm, Sir, you see, your storefront is way too huge. Once the industry gets big, it gets difficult to manage as well. I’ve got it all planned out. Once you agree, I guarantee that I will ensure everything regarding the management of your few stores and ensure they are in order! In the future, all accounting for monthly statements will be done carefully for your review. Then, you will not have to worry about anything else. You just have to wait and count your money!”

That’s good, that’s good. Look at this, it’s a plan to get us more people talented in management. What’s most expensive in this universe? Talent!

“I haven’t left yet, and you plan on usurping me?” The second person was lifted up by Mister Gate like a baby chicken and tossed out...

It made sense. This was always Mister Gate’s turf. Even though he planned on leaving, the person could have waited until he left before proposing the change. He was asking for death by mentioning it now.

The third person then came forward. He had some official background. Apparently, he was a powerful Honorary Aristocrat, and evidently of a higher class than Tianyi. Hence, he made a promise the moment he sat down. “Dear Sir, my boss is a Yellow-Level Honorary Aristocrat. He possesses great power. If you are willing, I can introduce him to you. In fact, he’s more than happy to make your acquaintance as well. After all, I’ve heard that you are a Double Honorary Aristocrat. I believe that you will have plenty of topics to discuss with my boss.”

Hm, this one seemed more reliable. Yellow-Level Honorary Aristocrats were not ordinary people. They possessed certain levels of capital.

Furthermore, he could humble himself to discuss businesses. There could be some things to look further into.

Then, he was dragged out by Jiang Dongliu...

Jiang Dongliu wanted to see what Hong Dali really wanted to do. With his status, it was a piece of cake to destroy a Yellow-Level Honorary Aristocrat. Therefore, he wished to stop the official business negotiations.

Then the fourth, the fifth...

Hong Dali grew increasingly dissatisfied as they spoke. Some tried to bribe him, others offered conditions, others cried about poverty and tragedies to gain sympathy...

Hong Dali failed them directly.

Are they joking? They should have come in good faith at least, right? I’m a prodigal, do they understand that?

Finally, the last person spoke. It was apparent that he did his homework. Once it was his turn, he decisively sat down and cut to the chase. His first sentence was: “I know how to do businesses that lose money.”

Eh?! This was good, this was good!

Once you heard that opening, anyone would listen carefully, right? Hong Dali was very curious. He nodded rapidly. He smiled and said, “Yup, yup, yup, this is good, this is good. Please continue.”

“Sir, I feel like if you rent this store out just like that, it’s not very worth it.” The final person looked confident. “Think about it. There are so many people out there. If you rent it out, how boring will it be? Therefore, my advice is to throw in money, throw in as much as you can! Not only do we display one piece of high-end equipment per day, but we also need to have some other things. We need to become a high-end comprehensive squander club! We need to make the guests feel at home!”

Look at that. This was a high-end talent. He got to the point within a few sentences!

Hong Dali instantly decided. “We’ll go with you!”

The amazing Mister Gate and Grandpa Jiang Dongliu’s jaws dropped to the floor. There were so many good choices, yet you ended up with the squandering one? This place is already worth so much, yet you still want to throw in more money?!

“Continue please.” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “Tell me how we should throw money in here.”

“Yes, alright!” The man coughed and said, “This place already has extremely high value. It will not be suitable to rent it out. We can carry out higher-level renovations here and continue to improve our business! For example, the renovation should cost at least 3-5,000,000 dollars for this place to be considered grand, right? The equipment displayed here should have a minimum listing price of 1,000,000 per item! Once the customers arrive, they should be provided with the best beverages to drink, the most luxurious sofas to sit in, and the most beautiful attendants at their service! Furthermore, if the customers have certain needs, we should strive to accommodate certain special requests! In addition, we need to have high-class food in here with private rooms specifically dedicated to business meetings! Every night, there should be beautiful ladies singing country tunes. Their voices must be gentle and seductive enough to steal the customers’ souls!”

Woah, this man was a genius! He understood the essence of squandering!

“Hahaha, not bad at all.” Hong Dali was glad and patted his shoulder. “Your company it is! Hm, tell me, how do you plan on collaborating specifically?”

“I’m truly sorry, Sir.” The man was a little embarrassed when the collaboration was brought up. “I came by myself. I don’t have a company. Hence, I can’t offer you any specific conditions. Regarding what I said, every level would require an investment of around 5,000,000 dollars. As for the rent, I can’t help with a single cent. In other words, I am here to work for you. For the salary, please decide accordingly. I’ll be content as long as I don’t starve to death.”

Woah, such a high-end talent. He deserved a big salary. Otherwise, it would not be respectful of his ideas!

“100,000 per month.” Hong Dali made a decisive offer. “I’ll give you a pay raise later if you do well!”

“I see. Thank you, Sir.” The man then began his self-introduction. “I’m Lei Yihui. Male. Thirty-three years old. Unemployed. I just happen to always have some unique new ideas in my head. I feel like you sir will definitely see my worth, and so I came.”

“Alright, not bad.” Hong Dali nodded. “You can call me Young Master from now on. You start tomorrow. Don’t be shy about handing out cheques when you need to spend money on anything. Just report to Xiaoyi afterward.”

“Alright. Understood.” Hence, Hong Dali lost a few million dollars worth of rent and hired an employee...

“I feel like my logic isn’t enough to understand this.” Jiang Dongliu pulled lightly on Gate’s clothes and said quietly, “He gave up 500,000 dollars worth of rent per store per month, just to hire an unemployed person at the salary of 100,000 a month. Surely that’s too much of a squander, right?”

“This little rascal thinks differently from normal people.” Gate sniffled. “He has too much money to spend. He has a few storefronts here. One alone is worth 600,000 per month. Combined together, it will be an income of over 3,000,000 dollars per month. That’s 40,000,000 dollars per year. He doesn’t even care about that sum. Hai, we’re getting old. We can’t even make as much from robberies. He only spent a few days...”

Gate was depressed.

It made sense. He robbed the universe year after year. A lucky raid could result in a few trillion Galaxy Dollars for them to spend, whereas an unlucky one would only net a few hundred million. However, the auctions for the items attained through his robberies were not available every day. Sometimes, it was normal to wait a few months before any big transactions.

Think about it, what was his status? Would he really care about small deals worth a few million?

Hence, he was envious of Hong Dali. He was carefree and did what he wished to do. If he was bored, he could just casually throw out a few million Galaxy Dollars to squander and wait to collect the money.

No wonder people said that comparisons were odious!

“Alright.” Hong Dali sniffled after he settled Lei Yihui down. He looked at Mister Gate, smiled and said, “Pops, I’ve finally found an expert to look after this place. When are you coming back? We can’t continue like this without you for long.”

“Hm, probably around a month.” Gate smiled and said, “After this run, I’ll be back to find you and enjoy some peaceful time. Speaking of which, these past days spent here were pretty relaxing. Not bad.”

One month was not too short yet not too long. It would pass by in the blink of an eye.

Hong Dali smiled and nodded. “Alright, then I’ll wish Pops a smooth and victorious journey first!” He then glanced left and right before asking, “Oh right, what happened to the Eagle Eye Uncle? Why didn’t I see him?”

“That punk.” Gate smiled and said, “He’s been teaching a boy named Fang Han about swordsmanship. According to him, the boy has amazing talents. However, he does not have ample resources for training. Otherwise, he’d definitely be much stronger than he is now.”

Eh? This Fang Han that Pops is talking about, could it be our Big Brother Fang Han? The two of them are working together?
