Lin Ye lowered his voice and said," Casino!”
Li Er smiled." Gambling dens aren't anything new. There are a few streets near Xi City, but you can see a gambling den every hundred steps.”
"What about the brothel?"
"Brothels can be seen everywhere. Whether it's scholars, gentlemen, or nobles, they all like to go to brothels to drink wine. With more guests, naturally, there will be more brothels.”Li Er said again.
It had to be said that Li Er was a little disappointed. He thought that he would be able to hear a unique business from Lin Ye.
Now, in the vast Chang 'an City, gambling dens and brothels were becoming saturated. At this time, operating these two businesses would not bring much profit.
"Then what if there's a gambling den and a brothel?”Lin Ye smiled.
"What do you mean by gambling dens and brothels?”Li Er suddenly became a little interested.
"Think about it carefully, Brother Li. If there is such a place where you can spend thousands of gold and gamble to your heart's content, you can also have beautiful women to accompany you and hug you on your left and right..."
"When you're tired from gambling, you can go to the side to enjoy the dance. When you're hungry, there's good food. When you're tired, there's a room upstairs for you to sleep in."
"After eating and sleeping, I can get up and continue to gamble!”
"Then, for those high-class gamblers, we can also set up a VIP area for them. There will be the best beauties accompanying them to gamble, and all the supplies will be of the highest quality.”
"Such a paradise in the human world, anyone would want to forget about it!”
Hearing Lin Ye's vivid description, Li Er's eyes immediately lit up. If there really was such a place in the world that was so dispirited and indulgent, he wanted to give it a try.
"My business is a combination of gambling dens, brothels, and restaurants. I call it a gambling den!”
Lin Ye continued to fool Li Er,
"If Brother Li is willing to invest, then the signboard of this gambling house will be named 'Si Ye Gambling House' between you and me."
"Brother Li, I placed your 'Si' before my 'Ye'.”
"It does sound like a business that can amaze the entire Chang 'an City.”Li Er showed interest.
"But if we follow your Brother Lin's plan, you'll have to invest a lot of money!”
"High investment, high return!" Lin Ye replied,
" Moreover, we can continue to open more branches in the future. After opening the first one and gaining experience, we can open three more branches in Chang 'an City!”
Lin Ye continued to flatter Li Er,
"In the future, we can open branches in more than 300 states in the country. The signboard of Siye Casino will be famous all over the world.”
"No, no, we can open it in Chang 'an Fortress first!”Li Er said with reservation.
The world was now under Li Tang's control. He could turn a blind eye to the fatuous aristocrats in Chang 'an who were seeking pleasure.
But if the entire world, with its ten paths and three hundred provinces, was filled with a desire to gamble, wouldn't the foundation of his Great Tang be in danger?
" Yes, yes, I am a little too ambitious. Then I will open one in Chang 'an City and try to run it," Lin Ye said.
"Then Brother Li, are you interested in this business?”
"Let me think about it for a while!" Li Er said,
Although Lin Ye's offer was very tempting, Li Er was a man of principle. He did not want to open a gambling house in private for his own personal gain.
Besides, Li Er didn't lack money.
The national treasury was full, and he had his own small treasury, private money.
Lin Ye saw that Li Er was hesitant and seemed to have some concerns. He was afraid that he would not be able to fool Li Er, this "risk investor".
No, how could a businessman's business be considered cheating?
"Brother Li, are you complaining that the gambling house and brothel business is not profitable?”Lin Ye continued,
"But do you know that if you don't earn this money, it will end up in someone else's pocket?"
"In the vast Chang 'an City, 70% of the casino business is run by the Wang family of Taiyuan, and nearly 80% of the brothel business belongs to the Lu family of Fanyang."
"These two aristocrats have taken up the majority of the gambling dens and brothels. The money has all gone into their pockets. Can't we get a share of it?”
Lin Ye calculated for Li Er. Of course, these data sources were only 10% true, 30% false, and 60% fabricated.
However, Lin Ye's words hit Li Er's Achilles heel.
Li Er had always been wary of these big aristocratic families. The power of these big aristocratic families had penetrated into all walks of life among the people, especially the five surnames and seven Wangs.
The growth of the five surnames and seven Wangs had even affected his ruling power. In some provinces, he was restrained by these big aristocratic families, and there were even situations where he could not reach the emperor's orders.
Therefore, Li Er had long thought of weakening the power of these big aristocratic families, but he didn't know how to do it at the moment. He was afraid that it would cause a civil revolt, so he didn't dare to easily move their power.
If it was as Lin Ye said, this move could snatch food from the mouths of the Lu family of Fanyang and the Wang family of Taiyuan. It could also be considered as slightly weakening the financial resources of these two families. Why not?
