Chapter 674

If he wanted to form a Commercial Alliance, he had to pull Wu Zhao in as the leader, or at the very least, let her know about it, and he also had to let her know about the club; after all, what he was about to do was quite big.

This could not be hidden from Wu Zhao, especially since he knew that Wu Zhao's Western Depot was already in preparation.

The intelligence capabilities of the Embroidered Uniform Guard still had to be respected.

"A mere brothel, how much profit can it have? Once too many people are pulled in, if the investment and income are not proportional, I fear it will be counterproductive, right?"

Gao Yang corrected, "Your Majesty, this subject must correct you: it is a club!"

"This club can be a brothel, but a brothel is definitely not a club. Its profits are naturally different, and since this subject is going to do it, I will do it on the largest scale!"

Wu Zhao narrowed her eyes, realizing the implication.

"The profit is huge?"

"Your Majesty is not a man, nor a lecher, so you know nothing about the lechery of men."

"The profit margin here is no less than smuggling armor and weapons."

Gao Yang said with a straight face.

Wu Zhao looked deeply at Gao Yang, but then said, "In the vast Changancheng, there are no fewer than a dozen brothels, and some have long been famous with fixed customers. If you, Lord Gao, want to make a profit in the short term, I fear it is not simple."

Hearing this, a flash of intense confidence appeared on Gao Yang's face.

He patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Once this subject's club opens, all the brothels in Changancheng will be finished!"

"And since this subject wants to pull in investment, the scale will naturally not be small. The chain of clubs across Da Qian will proceed simultaneously to seize the market together!"

"You are so confident?"

Wu Zhao was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

To make Gao Yang this confident, he must have nearly a hundred percent certainty.

And this scale was not small at all!

Was this Gao Yang really so confident about the club?

Wu Zhao glanced at Gao Yang, and Shangguan Wan'er also glanced at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang wore a smile; although he said nothing, his entire being was permeated with confidence.

That trip to the Rouge Pavilion was not in vain; market research was very important.

The brothels of the Seven Kingdoms were still in the stage of clear pricing and drinking flower wine.

Foot baths, spas, full-body massages, and ear cleaning had not yet been born. Once these appeared in Da Qian, it would be no exaggeration to call it a dimensional strike.

In his past life, he dabbled in the underworld but had a kind heart; whenever he scammed money, he would think about saving some poor girls who looked like they were about to break, so he was quite proficient in this area.

Moreover, in his eyes, the flesh trade was ultimately a minor path; he, Gao Yang, was doing legitimate business, just brushing the edges by a tiny bit.

And not to mention, as everyone knows, in a truly powerful club, service and appearance are secondary; what is truly powerful... is striking at the heart.

Emotion is the most powerful killer technique in this world.

In his past life, he, Gao Yang, prided himself on being a master of manipulating hearts, and even he had almost been caught!

"There is a piece of land near the Imperial Palace; how much silver can I get?" Wu Zhao tapped her fingers slowly and suddenly asked.

"Forty percent after deducting costs, what does Your Majesty think?"

"This subject wants to pull in more people; this is not just about making money, but also a force for Your Majesty's voice in the court. But this subject will definitely ensure Your Majesty's profit is the highest!"

Gao Yang said.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang with some surprise; she hadn't expected this Gao Yang to be so generous.

Giving her forty percent was indeed a significant proportion, considering only sixty percent remained.

"How do you plan to arrange the remaining sixty percent?" Wu Zhao continued to ask.

"This subject will take twenty percent. The remaining forty percent will be sought from four to six investors, with shares based on the silver each contributes."

"This subject intends to pull in a total of 400,000 taels of silver, investing it all into the expansion of the club, using Changan as the first battleground, and then spreading to the surrounding counties. If a family can contribute 100,000 taels, they get ten percent!"

"As for the explosive profits later, if families and wealthy merchants from various places want to invest, they can buy in at a high price, and we will just divide the money."

Wu Zhao was somewhat astonished in her heart.

400,000 taels of silver—this investment was truly not small!

One must know that in some parts of Da Qian, the annual tax revenue of a single county was only a few hundred thousand taels of silver.

Gao Yang's investment move was indeed big enough!

But Shangguan Wan'er suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait."
