My harem is a bit big

"Trash! Are the girls in Baihualou all useless? They can't even get a customer!"

Mother Liu was scolded, and her momentum suddenly softened.

She smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing the madam's submissive look, Mr. Ma cleared his throat:

"horsepower!"

Soon, a lean man entered the room, cupped his fists and said:

"Third Master, what's your order?"

"The Chunfeng Building on West Third Street opened recently and took away all the VIPs from our Baihua Building. You are smart and go over to investigate what is going on. What methods did they use? Be sure to find out clearly."

"Yes, third master!"

Ma Ma has a strong execution ability. He responded with fists and left quickly.

"Mother Liu..."

Mr. Ma turned his head and looked at the Madam, his eyes becoming colder and colder:

"What are you still doing here? Do you want me to send you off?"

"Ah, no no no no no."

Mother Liu was sweating and her back was wet.

She didn't dare to stay long and quickly left the room.

The anger that had been suppressed before was all turned into smoke at this moment.

……

It's a quarter past ten o'clock, ten minutes past ten.

After hours of poking around, Horsepower finally made progress.

He returned to Ma Mansion, asked about the location of the third master, and ran to the study in a hurry.

"Dong dong."

"Third Master, it's me, Ma Li."

Mr. Ma was reading at night by candlelight and did not even raise his head when he heard the voice:

"Come in."

Ma Li leaned forward slightly and reported what he saw and heard:

"There was a long queue at Chunfeng Tower, and it was impossible to enter to find out what was going on. I stopped the guests coming out and asked with my fists..."

Mr. Ma was a little impatient and interrupted:

"Speak the key."

"Okay, Chunfeng Building has been renovated recently. In addition to interior decoration and adding screens, the most important thing is to launch a role-reversal massage service."

"Role reversal? What is that?"

Ma Li lowered his head humbly, for fear of making the master angry:

"It means that the customer gives the girl a massage within a limited time. Customers who have heard of it said that Chunfeng Tower purchased a fragrant essential oil from foreigners and applied it on the girl's skin. It feels smooth to the touch."

Mr. Ma frowned, his expression not angry but powerful.

Such an answer obviously did not satisfy him:

"You did this to steal all the guests?"

"It's more than that, Third Master."

Ma Li buried his head lower. He knew very well what the master's temper was like:

"Xuanyuan Gambling House and Youjian Inn cooperate with Chunfeng House. The three shops cooperate and provide services to each other. The girls from Chunfeng House will go to the gambling house to accompany the rich man to place bets. If he is hungry or thirsty, he will order something to eat from the inn. Send it directly there. If you are interested in sex, you can also go to the inn next door to book a room. They find this very convenient, so they like to go there."

Baihualou can also provide food and drink.

Although the taste is just okay, it can be solved by spending a lot of money to hire a few good cooks.

However, it is a bold idea to open a gambling room in a brothel.

Ma Sanye looked out the window, his expression gradually becoming serious:

"Is that all there is? Are there any others?"

"They take very good care of young men from rich families. In addition to being able to jump in line, they also have special attendants. I heard that hundreds of people lined up at the opening yesterday. It is roughly estimated that the daily turnover is tens of thousands of taels."

At first glance, the various measures do not exceed normal cognition.

But it was really evil to attract all the distinguished guests away.

Mr. Ma frowned and thought to himself.

Baihua Building is located on West Street, close to the central city, and has a better location.

As long as they reproduce the same and copy the routine, there is no reason for those rich young men to abandon the near and seek the far away, right?

Thinking of this, Mr. Ma finally smiled:

"I really didn't expect that running a gambling room in a brothel would actually bring in such money. Since Chunfeng Tower can do it, why can't we?"

Seeing him smile, Ma Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up:

"Third Master is brilliant!"

At this moment, the servant came to report:

"Master, there is someone outside asking to see you. He claims to be the shopkeeper of Xuanyuan Gambling House, Xuanyuan Qingshan."

Mr. Ma twitched the corners of his mouth with a surprised expression.

Isn't this guy a competitor? What is he here for?

……

046 No such worldly thoughts (1/4)

"Bring people in."

"Yes, third master."

Not long after, Xuanyuan Qingshan followed the servant outside the house.

He was wearing a very ordinary mandarin jacket instead of the usual iconic gold thread robe.

Xuanyuan Qingshan stepped into the study and found that there were others in the room.

He tilted his head and stared at Ma Li without saying anything, which was an obvious hint.

Mr. Ma was too lazy to care and waved his confidants to leave:

"horse power, get down."

Ma Li bit his lip, wanting to stay here.

But when I caught a glimpse of the master's majestic expression, I immediately left heartily.

Now, there were only two people in the room.

Mr. Ma sat on the chair and looked up at the other person.

He had heard of the name Xuanyuan Qingshan, but he was just not familiar with it.

Those who can safely open a gambling house in the city these days cannot do it without some ability.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

The candlelight flickered, illuminating half of Xuanyuan Qingshan's face:

"I'm bothering you tonight because I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"Ah."

Mr. Ma sneered and said jokingly:

"Haven't you made a lot of money recently? What help can you ask me for?"

Xuanyuan Qingshan twitched the corner of his mouth, with a troubled look on his face:

"To be honest, I recently partnered with Chunfenglou to open a business, and we did make a lot of money. However, due to the mixing of our businesses, the income was unevenly distributed. Especially the innkeeper Tong, who is simply greedy, and the distribution has never been settled. .So I came to see Mr. Ma, hoping you could help drive him out of West Third Street."

There is a contradiction in the distribution of interests, which is reasonable.

But coming to him specifically for help seemed a bit far-fetched no matter how you looked at it.

Mr. Ma was not stupid, so he blurted out and asked:

"You can handle this kind of thing on your own, why did you come to me?"

"Master Ma, I have a cooperative relationship with Shopkeeper Tong now. I can't explain it to my subordinates if I do it myself. I heard that you had some connections in the city before, so it must not be difficult to do this kind of thing. If I find a weak guy, I won't be able to suppress him at all. Stay."

A senior official whom the Ma family relied on escaped from battle and was taken to the imperial city for punishment.

When the trees fall and the hozens scatter, not many people in Wanguo City really know the inside story.

Xuanyuan Qingshan's compliments reminded Ma Sanye of the glorious days before.

Unfortunately, it will never be the same again.

This gambling house owner is really short-sighted.

I'm afraid he doesn't know that I am the boss behind Baihualou.

Ma Sanye stared at Xuanyuan Qingshan and couldn't help but snorted in his heart.

If he renovates and opens a business, he will directly buy the houses around Baihua Building and turn them into gambling houses and inns.

As long as all three stores are owned by themselves, there will be no problem of profit distribution.

Isn’t it good to be exclusive, but to share it with others?

This kind of businessman doesn't know how to do business at all. He only thinks about fighting and killing.

Seeing that the other party did not express his position, Xuanyuan Qingshan thought of retreating, cupped his hands and said:
