Majestic Hero could see the three of them in a standoff from afar. When he got closer, he looked at the three of them carefully. Majestic Hero was intrigued.
Zhang He VS Xu Rong and Li Su was quite interesting.
Of course, this was just a thought. Majestic Hero could not allow them to mess around in his own home. As soon as they entered the hall, Majestic Hero laughed and said,""I was busy with military affairs and didn't know that the three of you had graced me with your presence. Please forgive me for neglecting you."
When Xu Rong saw Majestic Hero, he immediately went up to him and pointed at Zhang He.""Hwa Xiong, you came just in time. Don't blame me for using vulgarities. Zhang He was really shameless. We just sent a letter to you in court two days ago. We haven't even found trouble with him yet, but he came to our door to give us gifts.”
Zhang He gritted his teeth in anger and suppressed the urge to beat Xu Rong up. He shrugged helplessly at Majestic Hero and said,""This subordinate Zhang He greets Governor Hua."
Zhang He was here to give gifts?
Zhang He's personality should not be like this!
There was probably something strange about this. But why did he look so helpless?
Even though Majestic Hero wanted to take Zhang He in, he had just been tricked by the other party, and now, with Xu Rong and Li Su by his side, it would be too embarrassing for him to show off.
Majestic Hero didn't even ask Zhang He to stand up, and just let him bow to him. He asked coldly,"May I know why Lord Zhang has come?"”
Zhang He handed a long box to Majestic Hero and said,""Commander-in-chief Hua, I mistakenly consulted you the day before yesterday. After these two days of quiet thought, I only feel that it was too rash at that time. Therefore, I have come today to apologize and give you this fine steel sword to show my sincerity.”
Xu Rong wanted to say something when he saw the situation, but he was pressed down by Li Su.
Majestic Hero took the sword mechanically, not understanding what Zhang He was up to.
Zhang He then said,"Lord Situ is full of praise for the Governor and hopes to invite the Governor to the Situ Mansion for a gathering someday."
Didn't Wang Yun want to kill me? Why are you suddenly full of praise for me? The weasel wishes the chicken a happy new year.
Majestic Hero pretended to make excuses. After a few perfunctory words, Zhang He saw that Xu Rong and Li Su were here. It was useless to say more, so he left.
As soon as Zhang He left the palace, Xu Rong started to shout,"Giving away a broken sword is enough. How can it be so cheap!"”
Majestic Hero sneered,"He definitely isn't here to give me the sword." No matter why he came, I don't want to have anything to do with them for the time being! My foundation in Chang 'an is not stable. It's best if I can attract less attention!”
Li Su and Xu Rong nodded with emotion, as if they had experienced similar situations in their early years.
Majestic Hero changed the topic and jokingly asked the two,""Why are you two so free to visit me at my house today? Is he up to something else?"
Xu Rong and Li Su couldn't laugh at all when they heard this.
The two of them looked stern. Xu Rongxian said,"We've received news about the rumors in your army and the deduction of the tribute money! How was it? Are you alright? Can you handle it? If you need my help, just let me know.”
"Yeah!" Li Su also said. We're all in the same boat. If you have anything to say, just say it!”
Majestic Hero pretended to be relaxed." It's fine. It's just a little money. I can take care of it." However, the masterminds behind this matter were Li Jue and Guo Si! I didn't expect it to be the two of them. I didn't expect them to make things difficult for me, Hwa Xiong." Majestic Hero then told him about the money and food he had collected today.
When the two heard that Li Jue and Guo Si were behind this, they were furious.
Li Su said with a dark face,"A few years ago, Xu Rong and I were also tricked by them." These two people were narrow-minded and cunning. They could not bear to see anyone threaten their position in the Prime Minister's heart. "
Xu Rong continued angrily,"If I didn't know how to fight and kill, I would have been pushed aside by those two villains." Don't worry, Li Su and I will stand on your side in front of the Prime Minister tomorrow. This time, I'm going to kill those two brats."
Majestic Hero was touched by his words. It seemed that these two were the best officials to him in Chang 'an.
Li Su thought for a moment and said,"This matter should be reported to Lord Li Ru earlier." I think Lord Li Ru has his own arrangements and will definitely not treat us unfairly!”
The three of them nodded in agreement. Xu Rong and Li Su did not delay and personally requested to go to Li Ru's mansion.
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the blink of an eye, night fell. Hua Yongchang followed Majestic Hero's request and contacted three merchants who were close to him.
When the three merchants heard that the man with five facial features was going to organize them to do business, they immediately agreed and expressed that they were willing to cooperate no matter what Majestic Hero wanted to do.
In a dark room in the backyard of Washington, four people sat around a square table. There was only one candle in the room, which made the atmosphere a little gloomy.
The door creaked open, and Majestic Hero and Hua An walked in first.
The four merchants quickly stood up to welcome them. After getting to know each other, they sat down one after another.
"Let's not talk about idle chatter and get straight to the point! I believe Boss Hua has already told everyone about the general situation. This time, I'm doing business with everyone, so everything can be discussed. There's only one thing I need to emphasize in advance. In this matter, I don't want anyone else to know about my existence except for you. This is to avoid becoming the target of other officials. Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, Hua 'an will be the one to handle it in name.”
"This is understandable!"
The four merchants were satisfied with what he said. In their minds, Majestic Hero was a military officer. If he were to interfere with their business, it would be difficult for them.
"Alright, I'll let Hua An tell you what's going to happen next!”
After pushing Hua An to the front desk, Majestic Hero stood up and left. He gave the host seat to Hua An and took his seat.
Hua An looked at the four merchants and said according to Majestic Hero's instructions,""Regarding this Shangri-La Restaurant that combines gambling, brothels, and inns, what do the four of you think?”
"After the incident in Luoyang, we lost all our properties, leaving only our savings for many years. These two days, we have been thinking about setting up some businesses in Chang 'an. However, the situation in Chang' an is chaotic, making us feel troubled. Today, with Boss Hua's help, we have the opportunity to cooperate with Governor Hua and set up some businesses. We are really grateful. However, I feel that it's inappropriate for Governor Hua to intervene in the restaurant's business. Governor is a fierce general. This kind of general should be used in the army to protect the Great Han Dynasty. How can he be delayed by such a business?”
When Majestic Hero heard this, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and think,""What a beautiful sentence. If I were stupid, I would think that you were praising me! They openly praised me for my talent, but secretly said that I'm not qualified to do business!”
However, Majestic Hero did not say anything. He just looked at the other two merchants.
Hua An smiled and said," Don't worry, my Governor has his own way of running the restaurant. I just want to ask if you have any new ideas about this restaurant!"”
"A fresh idea?"
The four merchants looked at each other. The one who spoke earlier and the other two looked at each other, as if to convey some kind of affirmation, so that person said," The restaurant business is Boss Hua's old line of work. We also have some understanding of running brothels and inns, so there's really no big problem. The most important thing is to be able to operate steadily in Chang 'an and not be forced by various forces. Other than that, we think that the governor is a little overqualified. We don't have any other ideas.”
Hua An smiled contemptuously and swept his gaze across the faces of the four people one by one. He asked in a somewhat unfathomable manner,"Have the four of you ever thought about how great the benefits would be if you did the same thing as you did in the past? At most, it was equivalent to a gambling den, a brothel, and an inn being opened together. Was there a need to give it such a name?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Even Majestic Hero stared at Hua An with his eyes wide open.
He had told Hua An everything he needed to say. If he had thought about it, Hua An should have brought out all the new things he had mentioned to show that they were qualified to control the management rights.
Now that Hua An had asked the four of them back, it was beyond Majestic Hero's expectations.
"Is there any meaning to this name? Shangri-La, please forgive me for my ignorance. I really don't know what it means.”
This question stumped Hua An because Majestic Hero did not explain the meaning of the name to him. Hua An could not help but glance at Majestic Hero.
Majestic Hero could not find the meaning behind the words 'Shangri-La' and could not help but look troubled.
"Now is not the time to discuss the name. My question is, how big do you think the benefits of this restaurant are?" If we don't have enough benefits, is there a need for us to work together?”
"This…"
Indeed, the four merchants present had considered this question. If they had a choice, they would not want to join forces to open this restaurant. However, they did not want to make a distinction on the premise of protecting Majestic Hero. In any case, the four of them would settle their own accounts. As for Majestic Hero's so-called shares, they just treated it as a tribute to the government.
But now that this question was raised by Hua An, the four of them were at a loss.
They originally thought that Hua An was just a person in charge of supervising and taking money. Now, it seemed that that was not the case at all.
Just from this sentence alone, Hua An already had a certain business acumen, even though he said this under the premise that he had received a detailed explanation from Majestic Hero.
Seeing that the four of them were silent, Hua An said with a stern expression,"It's absolutely reasonable for my commander-in-chief to take the decision-making power of this restaurant! Because my Governor has the power to expand the profits of this restaurant by ten or even a hundred times! Do you have any? If any of you have it, my commander-in-chief will never interfere in the matters of the restaurant.”
The four men's expressions changed drastically. They looked at Majestic Hero, who was silent, and then at Hua An, who was imposing.
Their impression of Majestic Hero and Hua An had completely changed.
At the same time, the ten times or a hundred times the benefits made everyone look at Hua An in shock, waiting for him to explain.
" First of all," Hua An said," we have to release new content, whether it's the gambling dens or brothels and inns. It's completely different from the existing content. We will start with the food in the restaurant. Apart from the food that is currently available on the market, we must introduce a new type of food every three days. Three meals a day and a night snack must be available all day. Of course, delivery was also a must. All delivery fees were based on the price of the dishes.”
When the four merchants heard this, they looked at each other. Hua Yongchang wanted to say something, but Hua An did not wait for them to speak and continued,"As for the accommodation in the restaurant, apart from the ordinary rooms on the market, we can also open some luxurious rooms. Everything in the rooms is based on the decoration of the rich and powerful families, dignitaries, and some first-class brothels.”
"There's also a private room in the gambling den for the children of the aristocratic families and those who gamble heavily.”
Hua An gave a simple explanation, but the expressions of the merchants started to change.
"No, no, it's too difficult to introduce a new food every three days. It's impossible. Moreover, it was available 24/7. Most restaurants only served from the afternoon to the evening. Why would they bring supper for three meals a day? The rich families and high-ranking officials all ate supper at home. If they didn't have money, they wouldn't eat supper at all. It was unnecessary to talk about supper. It was even more difficult to say if they ate breakfast. How much money could they earn from some flatbread? Wasn't that obviously a loss?”
"This luxurious guest room isn't too good either! Although most of the people who went to brothels were rich people, they were not particular people. Most of them were vulgar and uncouth. Their purpose was nothing more than to hug a fresh woman. It was really not worth spending so much money!”
"Gambling dens are built with the presence of many people. Everyone is squeezed into a big room to fight. This is what gambling is! It had been like this since ancient times. How could there be such an atmosphere in a private room? Besides, why would those rich scholars come to the gambling den?”
The three merchants each expressed their objection.
What Hua An said was really against common sense. From ancient times to the present, no one had ever done such a business of gambling, food, and accommodation, let alone gather together to make it the best. Some of the contents were even beyond human ability. It was no wonder that they would object.
Hua Yongchang waited for the three of them to finish before saying,""This is indeed a little difficult. It would be good if we can obtain the corresponding returns, but some of the things here are really unrealistic. If we proceed like this, I'm afraid it will become a loss. What do you think, son-in-law?"
The four of them had definitely rebounded, and this was within Majestic Hero's expectations.
These were the necessary conditions to push everything to the high-end. He could not explain that these were the business concepts he brought from a thousand years ago, so Hua An could only say,"Don't worry! Our military governor has a way to solve everything.”
Even though Hua An had said that, the four merchants 'expressions did not improve at all. They just looked at Majestic Hero and shook their heads.
The four of them had the same thoughts. Majestic Hero and Hua An seemed to be business-minded people, but they were thinking too simply about business. Such a method was unprecedented and very risky.
Majestic Hero glanced coldly at the four of them.'If a tiger doesn't show its might, you'll think I'm a sick cat. Your priorities are reversed!'
At this moment, he was too lazy to explain in detail. He slammed his palm on the table and said,"Now, I want to partner with my father-in-law to do business. I asked you to come because you have a close relationship with my father-in-law. I want everyone to earn money and make this restaurant the biggest and best in one go! There are many merchants in Chang 'an, but I'm the only one who wants to do business! Believe me or not, you can decide whether you want this opportunity or not!”
As he said this, Majestic Hero could not help but think back to his past. He had no courage under Guan Yu, no power under Dong Min, no power in front of Lu Bu, and no authority in the court. He had been bullied! Now that he was doing business, a few merchants were also arrogant to him. Now, it was time for him to be arrogant.
Thinking of this, Majestic Hero suddenly felt a little proud for the first time. He could not help but think of the time when the new things in Shangri-La were famous throughout the Han Dynasty.
Dog meat hotpot, mutton skewers, ramen, striptease, ice and fire, pop songs, and so on could all be introduced in the restaurant.
Of course, there were many things that Majestic Hero didn't know, but it didn't matter if he didn't know. As long as he described it, it would be fine for the professionals of this era to study it.
The four merchants fell silent when they heard this. They considered the pros and cons without saying a word. No matter what, this matter would allow them to obtain Majestic Hero's protection. The loss would only be a part of the initial investment. It was better than letting other small officials exploit them without thinking.
Thinking of this, the four of them agreed.
Seeing that the four of them had taken a turn for the better, Majestic Hero said to Hua An,""Tell them the details! Let them understand that I don't want to use my official position to suppress them, but that there are benefits!”
Hua An then began to explain to the four merchants what had happened. He told them that Majestic Hero had unique traits in all three aspects. These things could attract all the rich merchants, officials and merchants in Chang 'an and even the entire Han Dynasty to the big restaurants. These high-end things were opened for these people. When the price was raised in various ways, the profits would be unreasonable.
When the merchants heard this, they were immediately curious about what these magical things were. Majestic Hero brought up Las Vegas again, and the four merchants were amazed. The atmosphere gradually eased.
"Governor Hua really has everything in his mind. There is actually such a city that never sleeps in this world. If possible, I really want to take a look.”
"Yes, such a place is like an immortal. I'm afraid that the people living there are all immortals.”
Majestic Hero could not help but laugh."" What do you mean by immortal? It's called being as happy as an immortal. Our Shangri-La Restaurant is meant to make people as happy as an immortal. We want to make people forget about it and leave all their money in the restaurant.
Finally, when it came to the name of the restaurant, Majestic Hero could not explain the meaning of Shangri-La, so he had to change the name of the restaurant to Heavenly Earth.
At the end of the discussion, everyone's confidence had increased a lot. They immediately said that they would go to the most famous Moon Pavilion in Chang 'an to celebrate and to let Majestic Hero evaluate them.
As for the investment, it was decided that each person would pay 300 gold taels. Hua Yongchang and Hua An would handle the various matters, and Majestic Hero would naturally be behind the scenes.

Majestic Hero could see the three of them in a standoff from afar. When he got closer, he looked at the three of them carefully. Majestic Hero was intrigued.
Zhang He VS Xu Rong and Li Su was quite interesting.
Of course, this was just a thought. Majestic Hero could not allow them to mess around in his own home. As soon as they entered the hall, Majestic Hero laughed and said,""I was busy with military affairs and didn't know that the three of you had graced me with your presence.

We just sent a letter to you in court two days ago. We haven't even found trouble with him yet, but he came to our door to give us gifts.”

Majestic Hero took the sword mechanically, not understanding what Zhang He was up to.

Thinking of this, Majestic Hero suddenly felt a little proud for the first time. He could not help but think of the time when the new things in Shangri-La were famous throughout the Han Dynasty.
Dog meat hotpot, mutton skewers, ramen, striptease, ice and fire, pop songs, and so on could all be introduced in the restaurant.
Of course, there were many things that Majestic Hero didn't know, but it didn't matter if he didn't know. As long as he described it, it would be fine for the professionals of this era to study it.
The four merchants fell silent when they heard this. They considered the pros and cons without saying a word. No matter what, this matter would allow them to obtain Majestic Hero's protection. The loss would only be a part of the initial investment. It was better than letting other small officials exploit them without thinking.
Thinking of this, the four of them agreed.
Seeing that the four of them had taken a turn for the better, Majestic Hero said to Hua An,""Tell them the details! Let them understand that I don't want to use my official position to suppress them, but that there are benefits!”
Hua An then began to explain to the four merchants what had happened. He told them that Majestic Hero had unique traits in all three aspects. These things could attract all the rich merchants, officials and merchants in Chang 'an and even the entire Han Dynasty to the big restaurants. These high-end things were opened for these people. When the price was raised in various ways, the profits would be unreasonable.
When the merchants heard this, they were immediately curious about what these magical things were. Majestic Hero brought up Las Vegas again, and the four merchants were amazed. The atmosphere gradually eased.
"Governor Hua really has everything in his mind. There is actually such a city that never sleeps in this world. If possible, I really want to take a look.”
"Yes, such a place is like an immortal. I'm afraid that the people living there are all immortals.”
Majestic Hero could not help but laugh."" What do you mean by immortal? It's called being as happy as an immortal. Our Shangri-La Restaurant is meant to make people as happy as an immortal. We want to make people forget about it and leave all their money in the restaurant.
Finally, when it came to the name of the restaurant, Majestic Hero could not explain the meaning of Shangri-La, so he had to change the name of the restaurant to Heavenly Earth.
At the end of the discussion, everyone's confidence had increased a lot. They immediately said that they would go to the most famous Moon Pavilion in Chang 'an to celebrate and to let Majestic Hero evaluate them.
As for the investment, it was decided that each person would pay 300 gold taels. Hua Yongchang and Hua An would handle the various matters, and Majestic Hero would naturally be behind the scenes.
