Chapter 242: Chapter 242 commerce

Translator: Doggotranslation

After a busy day, Zhou Yu finally saw off the visitors, and spent the rest of the day in bed, examining the benefits of being a Lord.

The houses of Zhou Yu’s children were all in the same room, which was Zhou Yu’s bedroom, even Bai Mo’s refrigerator was also moved in. But because Benben’s body was too big, its house was made outside of Zhou Yu’s bedroom. Instead, Zhou Yu made a small bed for it whenever it wanted to sleep in. Living in the living room were the king of thieves, the old drunkard, the squirrel Bubu, and the mouse Jack, and the new general Lilith. It could be considered as a wall of steel. With this kind of force, no one would dare to attack him at night.

After becoming a Lord of a city, his home naturally would become the inner city, which naturally required to be guarded heavily. And the outer city would be guarded by the Knight’s mount regiment and the flying bird knights. Even at night they also wouldn’t dare to let their guards down but take turns to patrol the city.

Li Weiannian also returned home. After leaving home for so long, his contract finally ended. Being called big brother by so many younger brothers and sisters, even if he had been through a lot of difficulties, he still couldn’t help but shed tears. Excitedly, he drank a lot of alcohol at the family dinner. It was mainly because little Firefly always asked him to drink. And now he was sleeping at his little house.

But since Zhou Yu hasn’t turned off the light yet, they didn’t want to go to bed, but have a pajama party in Zhou Yu’s bed. Little Firefly’s chest was still that flat, and when she saw little Muli’s ample bosom, she pretended that she was also drunk and started to tease her. Not only was she touching her lecherously, but she was also constantly saying, “wow, so big, so soft”, looking like a typical pervert.

If Little Muli’s fans heard Little Muli’s weak moans and saw the frolics between her and little Firefly later on, which almost exposed their bodies several times, they would definitely lose their minds.

Because of his habit, Yang Kuai instinctively wanted to use a camera to capture this moment, but when he had just taken out his camera, he instantly was kicked out of bed by little Firefly. At the moment, he was trying to climb up and get back on the bed again. Kaka and Benben were much quieter. Kaka was moving up and down checking Benben’s body parts. From time to time, it would replace some new parts. Zhou Yu was curious about where he got all those parts.

Bai Mo still stayed in his old house in the refrigerator.

It was just like every other day.

Their poor old man still didn’t obtain any majestic imposing manner, even after he became a lord.

There were a lot of things that needed to be checked after the upgrade. But Zhou Yu needed to use the eyes of the ACG world to check them one by one. However, there were three things that he wanted to check first. They were the animation base, the game company, and the comic studio.

The comic studio has entered the era of rainbow farming. With a rate of about five chapters per month, he now had some chapters in stock. Just wait until the a.s.sa.s.sin movie was released, penguin company would launch the new comic The Hunt For Revenge.

At present, there was no new animation. It was mainly because he was currently busy with the animation variety show, so he had no spare energy to make other animation. Besides, Xia Huan had also invested all his money into the variety show. He didn’t even have the spare money to buy a movie script, let alone hiring enough actors.

After all, the cost of an a-rated variety show was not a small number.

The first season of the variety show “the imprisoned princess” was nearly finished on the TV channels of the ACG world, and filming of the second season was already over. Originally, Zhou Yu had expected Xia Huan to start shooting the third season immediately, but in a chat with him, before the ceremony began today, he discovered that it would not be that fast.

The reason was simple. The Star Light TV station would have to see the ratings of the first few episodes of the second season two before they could decide whether to carry on broadcasting the show. It would be a tragedy if they started production on the third season right now but then the Star Light TV station suddenly decided not to broadcast the show anymore.

In the real world, this variety show was very popular at the moment. It has already attracted many fans, so it shouldn’t be a problem if he wanted to carry on making the third season. However, without Xia Huan’s resources, and with Luhua city’s current ability, it was impossible for it to financially support this kind of show alone.

It meant that if Luhua city wanted to be really independent, it still needed more money.

“Kaka, can you find Hank the stray cat, and tell him that I need to discuss something with him. And little Firefly, stop that now, we will have a visitor soon.”

Hearing that her old man still wanted to work in the middle of the night, Firefly grumbled and returned to her own little house. She didn’t want to appear in front of an outsider while dressed in pajamas.

Hank the stray cat was the only available business talent in Luhua city. Zhou Yu needed to know the profitability of Luhua city from him.

After a while, Hank the stray cat arrived. Although he has been promoted to the commerce minister, he still looked like a businessman. The only difference was that the huge bag on his back was gone, indicating that he was no longer a wandering merchant.

After listening to Zhou Yu’s question, Hank replied, “don’t worry my lord. The news of Luhua village becoming a city has already been spread out. Moreover, our legal system is the Star Light legal system, it is a system that is liked by many businessmen at the moment. We have the dragon’s wing army, and the sky knight’s academy, with such a strong force, the safety within the city will be guaranteed. As long as Luhua city is safe, our city will prosper, and there will certainly be a lot of businesses willing to move in during this period. Maybe we need to build a commercial bureau to manage it.”

The commercial bureau would cost 1000, Moe Coins. It functioned as the unified management of all shops in the territory. All businesses needed to register here for tax collection.

It was a building that could give Zhou Yu Moe Coins.

Zhou Yu had also seen it before. At that time, he wanted it very badly. However, because Luhua village did not have many commercial activities back then, so he didn’t build it. Now that he could finally build it. He hoped that with it, he would be able to make a lot of money, and then he would no longer need to rely on Xia Huan anymore.

“In addition, after the end of the ceremony today, there are already three lords saying that they want to establish the trade channel with Luhua city. The selling point of our Luhua city is an amus.e.m.e.nt park, and there will be more visitors after the channels are established. Therefore, improving the amus.e.m.e.nt park and providing better service for the visitors in the ACG world will become your primary task. It is estimated that a large amount of money will be needed.”

Dang-it. He also needs money. It seemed like even if he got the money for the second season of the variety show, he still wouldn’t be able to save it.

Oh well, you gotta spend more money to make money, right? Not to mention that this money needed to be used to improve the infrastructure. First, he needed to build five workers’ huts, then strengthen workers by building ‘industrial schools’. After that, Hank could a.s.sign workers by applying for construction, and improve the amus.e.m.e.nt park little by little.

After all sorts of trivia were listed. The required funds directly emptied Zhou Yu’s pocket. The joy of just becoming a rich man suddenly disappeared, and all that remained was an empty money bag.

Seeing the old man was still busy with work, little Muli was lying on top of his head and yawning constantly, and said, “Daddy, it’s so late, it’s time to sleep.”

Oh well, since my little princess commanded,

let’s go to sleep. And in terms of the problem with money, Zhou Yu just decided to leave it for tomorrow.
