When Gu Chaoyan put forward all those profits, she added emotionally. “What a pity!”
She acted as if a future of prosperity had been missed.
The King could not hold his expression any more. He was unable to conceal his inner feelings after he heard those words. He looked really saddened too.
The Feather Mulberry Land had not had a smooth time during the past few years, but despite the bleakness, the national storage had been full, so the country did not look as if it was declining yet. However, during the past few years, the tax had not looked good, and the national storage was getting emptier than ever. He had run out of ideas of how to boost the economy.
When he sent Prince Muyi to visit the Saint Divine Land, he was thinking about letting him earn some money through the wine from the Saint Divine Land.
When the imperial family of a country started to work on business, it basically meant that the country’s economy was declining.
Officers, farmers and businessmen… That was the rank of importance in ancient times. It was the same in the Saint Divine Land and the Feather Mulberry Land.
However, now even the King of this land was trying to defend the dignity of the imperial family… so it basically meant that business had become really important for the country.
It would have been a very flourishing scene, if in every one of the 15 towns in the Feather Mulberry Land, there was a restaurant like this. In this way, Cloud Land could be the source of the money-making, which he had not even considered earlier.
He felt very certain about one thing – if the business could go in the same way as Lady Chaoyan suggested, namely half of the profits were contributed to the national storage, then the Feather Mulberry Land would have a thronged national storage again within two years’ time.
The Imperial Master was so stupid to think that he was smart.
Opening a Fortune Restaurant would require the King to invest some money from the national storage, whilst the cooperation with Lady Chaoyan would offer nothing other than profits!
He had to get rid of the Imperial Master! He was going to sentence the Imperial Master to death soon! This man had caused him so much trouble! He had opened a restaurant that earned less money than the Luo’s!
Damn!
He had to think of a way to continue the cooperation with Lady Chaoyan. The potential should not be ruined just because of the Imperial Master. He had to come up with other methods!
The Luo’s might be one!
The Luo’s was a choice starting point. It was not as luxurious as Fortune Restaurant, yet according to what the Imperial Master had told him earlier, it was much better than Fortune Restaurant.
Those commoners were not as poor as they believed… they were not able to pay any tax, but they were able to eat at restaurants!
As he thought about the whole situation, the King looked at Gu Chaoyan and asked, “What about the Luo’s? We can have one in every town! We can even open some in Cloud Land, if it is possible.”
Gu Chaoyan looked up at the King.
The King was even more greedy than she was! Her plan was to establish one restaurant in every town, whilst he thought about expanding it to Cloud Land instead!
However, that was a kind of greed she needed at the moment.
“That sounds like a plan, but it is just… that I only had communication with Prince Muyi regarding the cooperation, so I would like Prince Muyi to take care of the business, so that I can be assured. As for the investing fund… I can pay all of that,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly, as if she had suddenly thought of something. “Oh yes, where is Prince Muyi? I haven’t seen him for the past few days, since I came here.”
