"20,000 taels of silver. The things being escorted are not cheap!”
Lin Yu looked at Escort Liang and analyzed.
Normally, long-distance escorts would charge 4% of the value of the item. This item was worth at least 500,000 yuan.
"Young Escort Leader, this money isn't so easy to get. It's said that tens of people have already died after bringing this treasured saber ashore for 13,000.”"The water is very deep here," said Head Liang in a low voice.”
Lin Yu's eyes flickered.
"And on the way to the capital, we have to pay the money gang.”Escort Liang said.
"Why?" "Uncle Liang, I rarely ask about the business of the escort agency." Lin Yu asked with a smile,"By right, our Fuwei Escort Agency's business covers more than ten provinces. We should have accumulated a lot of property, but…"
"But it's not as much as you think, right?”Escort Liang smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I've seen the accounts of the escort agency. Our Fuwei Escort Agency charges at least 200,000 taels of silver each year, but my father said it's less than 30,000 taels.”Lin Yu looked at Escort Liang and said.
"Young Escort Leader, this is not how you calculate the accounts. What you see is only the surface. In fact, every time our Fuwei Escort Agency passes through an area, we have to offer 50% of the local Jianghu forces and bandits. This is the unspoken rule of the escort agency industry!”Escort Liang said.
"So dark!" When Lin Yu heard this, his heart bled. It seemed that Fuwei Bodyguard Agency was working for someone else.
"The remaining 50% will be used to support the people in the agency. If someone were to rob the agency, it would be even worse. Not only would they die, but they would also compensate the customers for their losses. Ever since your father took over the agency for 20 years, he had been robbed ten times and suffered heavy losses.”Escort Liang sighed." After deducting the losses from the robbery, the annual profit is more than 20,000 yuan."”
"Although the business scope of Fu Wei Bodyguard Agency has surpassed the time of our ancestors, the profits may not be as much as back then.”Lin Yu deduced.
"That's right. When Fu Wei Bodyguard Agency was first established, although the scope of business was small, the profits were extremely high.”Escort Liang said proudly,"If anyone dares to ask for money, Master Lin Yuantu will kill them with a single sword strike. Furthermore, there were many valuable items to escort at that time, so the fee was naturally high.”
"Uncle Liang, roughly estimate how much great-grandfather earned in a year at that time.”Lin Yu asked with interest.
"One million taels a year is nothing.”Escort Liang estimated and said," Back then, the Fuwei Escort Agency was one of the three big escort agencies of Ming Dynasty. It once escorted goods for the royal family. Now, Fuwei is already in the top ten. No one in the martial arts world cares about you."”
"This... Running a bodyguard agency is really profitable." Lin Yu was shocked when he heard this data. This was the escort business in six provinces.
"This business is a profitable industry, but the premise is that no one dares to block your way and no one dares to charge you for the road. "Escort Liang smiled and said,"Back then, Master Lin Yuantu's Seventy-Two Ways of Evil Repelling Swordsmanship swept across the underworld. Even Shaolin, Wudang, Sun Moon Sect, and other major powers gave him face.”
"Now, even the Qingcheng Sect is fawning over our Fuwei Bodyguard Agency…”Lin Yu could not help but complain.
"There's nothing I can do about it." Escort Liang smiled bitterly. He really wanted to say that the descendants of the Lin family were disappointing. Even if one of them had half of Lin Yuantu's martial arts, it wouldn't be like this.
"In that case, my Lin family has a lot of assets.”Lin Yu chuckled.
"Young Escort Leader, you're wrong. Old Master Lin Yuantu has the heart of a Bodhisattva. He's chivalrous and helps the poor.”Escort Liang shook his head.
Lin Yu touched his forehead helplessly.
But thinking about it, Lin Yuantu was right to do this. Otherwise, leaving behind a huge inheritance would only cause the Lin family to be destroyed faster.
He could not let the descendants of the Lin family cultivate the Evil-Warding Sword Manual.
Those who cultivated the Evil-Warding Sword Manual had a drastic change in temperament. They became cruel, murderous, and cold-blooded.
In the entire Jianghu, only the distant ancestor avoided it. This was probably due to the fact that the distant ancestor was born in Buddhism. His mind was already as firm as a rock. Even though he cultivated the Evil Repelling Sword Manual, his personality had not changed. He was a chivalrous man who walked the Jianghu.
This was something that even a transmigrator like him admired.
"Uncle Liang, we'll take the 13,000 yuan order.”Lin Yu ordered.
"Young Escort Leader, you can't. Not only is this business dangerous, but you also have to pay half of the money list.”Uncle Liang's expression changed.
"I've already decided. In addition, pass on a message to the other side to double the price, 40,000 taels of silver.”" As for the Money Gang," Lin Yu instructed," just don't let them know. I'll carry that knife with me."”
As he spoke, he pointed his finger, and a beam of pale golden light shot out from the sky, shooting at a tree as thick as an arm three meters away.
"Boom!"
The tree suddenly broke.
Escort Liang was dumbstruck at this scene, and then his face revealed a look of ecstasy.
He had blamed the young escort leader wrongly. It turned out that the young escort leader was secretly working hard to cultivate martial arts.
He was also a martial artist. Lin Yu's attack had far surpassed the current Chief Escort, Lin Zhennan.
"Young Escort Leader, I'll go over and discuss this matter with Wansan's butler, Xu Si.”Escort Liang said.
"Uncle Liang, I will let the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency's flag be planted all over Great Ming, no, the entire Central Plains and the foreign countries!”Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back and said with a cold gaze.
