Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

With the advancement of recruitment, preparations for battle, and the construction of a series of projects such as the grand hotel, Mo Yuming had exhausted the wealth he had plundered from Commander Zhu and Commander Zhuang.

War is inherently extremely expensive, and the expenses for tens of thousands of people are even greater, especially when everything is in ruins and the consumption is even more staggering.

Although the inn was thriving and highly profitable, it still couldn't keep up with such extravagant spending.

Therefore, Mo Yuming had to find another way to raise funds.

Fortunately, Jia Shan was captured earlier and used as an errand boy, and a lot of gold coins were exchanged for magic crystals.

Otherwise, Mo Yuming would have been penniless long ago.

Jia Shan, as expected of a seasoned and cunning businessman, did his best to get things done even when his life was threatened.

The magic crystals that Mo Yuming gave him were mostly sold for good prices. Moreover, as Mo Yuming requested, he divided the magic crystals into many portions and sold them in different places without arousing any suspicion from others.

Mo Yuming possesses a large number of magic crystals, and he has collected almost all of the magic crystals left behind by the last beast tide in the Valley of Heartbreak.

There are nearly ten thousand low-grade and high-grade magic crystals in total.

The magic crystals that Mo Yuming had Jia Shan sell were mostly low-level magic crystals of grades one to three, which accounted for more than 70% of Mo Yuming's collection.

Since these types of magic crystals are inexpensive and relatively common, selling them in large quantities will not attract the attention of busybodies.

Even the worst magic crystals are valuable treasures. It was only after Jia Shan sold several batches of nearly five thousand magic crystals that he was able to barely keep up with Mo Yuming's expenses.

However, relying solely on hotels and selling magic crystals was not enough, so as soon as the She Shen Cliff Hotel was completed, Mo Yuming couldn't wait to turn his attention to the overall construction and operation of the market.

Only by making Wushuang City's economy bigger and stronger can a steady stream of money flow into Mo Yuming's pocket.

In this world where economic awareness is weak, it is impossible to change people's mindsets in a short period of time, and forcing vendors to operate according to one's own wishes will definitely backfire.

Therefore, Mo Yuming temporarily shelved the plan to renovate the old street, allowing it to develop on its own.

After the Wushuang Grand Hotel was completed, Mo Yuming closed the inn on the old street and devoted himself to the operation of the grand hotel.

Operating a large hotel is far more complex and complicated than operating a guesthouse.

To ensure the healthy and long-term development of a large hotel, it is essential to establish a sound management system.

Therefore, Mo Yuming, drawing on advanced management experience from around the world, designed and planned a complete hotel management system for Huang Xiaoxiao, and provided intensive training to all management personnel in accordance with the rules and regulations.

When Mo Yuming explained this entire set of cross-century management methods to everyone, they were all dumbfounded, staring at Mo Yuming with wide eyes as if he were a monster.

The unfamiliar rules and regulations, like unfathomable incantations, left everyone bewildered, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Even Huang An and Jia Shan, who were incredibly experienced in life, only understood many of the technical terms after Mo Yuming explained and analyzed them countless times.

It took others many days to figure it out.

Fortunately, after more than ten days of intensive training by Mo Yuming, the hotel staff were able to operate in accordance with the rules and regulations.

After a period of trial operation, the hotel gradually got on track, and all employees adapted to the new management system, clearly understanding their own positions and what they needed to do according to the system.

Gradually, everyone realized that this management style was actually not complicated and was very reasonable.

Some rules and regulations that were not understood at first have become clear after being adjusted and practiced, and have been found to be very useful and convenient.

Once the hotel is up and running, it will require a constant increase in staff, including job training and personnel arrangements.

It's impossible for Mo Yuming to carry out all of these things, and it's also impossible for Mo Yuming to confine himself to the hotel.

Therefore, after the hotel was on track, Mo Yuming handed over all the operating and management rights to Huang Xiaoxiao, giving full play to her intelligence and allowing her to manage the hotel independently.

Mo Yuming set a single rule for Huang Xiaoxiao: no matter what happens at the hotel, it must be handled strictly according to the system. There must be no sentimentality, no consideration for personal feelings, no subjective assumptions, and rewards and punishments must be clearly defined!

Huang Xiaoxiao did not disappoint Mo Yuming.

In a short period of time, she skillfully applied her newly acquired management experience to promote some capable employees and provide them with intensive training based on their individual strengths, turning them into technical backbones.

She had these key personnel mentor new employees and established a series of reward and punishment systems to make every employee feel the pressure while stimulating their enthusiasm.

This will make everyone working at the hotel clearly understand that as long as they work diligently, they have a chance for promotion.

Whenever Jia Shan went out to sell magic crystals, Mo Yuming would arrange for Master Fu to accompany him.

Among all the old men, Master Fu was relatively young and had a low cultivation level, only at the first level of the Heaven Rank.

He is slightly overweight, always has a smile on his face, and is very approachable.

Moreover, Master Fu is quick-witted, adaptable, and has a natural talent for business.

While following Jia Shan in selling magic crystals, he learned business skills quickly and his business acumen soon caught up with Jia Shan's.

Now, the only thing that Grandpa Fu lacks is social experience and understanding of various interpersonal relationships in the outside world.

After finishing his business at the hotel, Mo Yuming decided to upgrade the partnership between the two vendors.

They stopped selling magic crystals and instead became bosses.

Therefore, Mo Yuming decided to build a professional auction house next to the commercial street at the head of the deadly slope.

He appointed Master Fu as the manager of the auction house and Jia Shan as the general manager.

After being forced to work for Mo Yuming for a period of time, Jia Shan was deeply impressed by Mo Yuming's character and his thinking underwent a complete 180-degree change.

Now that he is genuinely working for Mo Yuming, there is no need to use fake poison to blackmail him anymore.

When Mo Yuming told them about his plan to build an auction house, Jia Shan was thrilled.

Jia Shan himself had low cultivation in martial arts and a meager family background. For decades, he struggled and toiled day and night, barely managing to make ends meet. Moreover, he was exploited by corrupt officials, bandits, and highwaymen.

Since being forced to work for Mo Yuming, not only has it become much safer and easier, but the tips Mo Yuming gives me alone are more than I used to earn, not to mention the considerable commissions.

This is one of the reasons why he later willingly and voluntarily worked for Mo Yuming.

Now this mysterious young master wants to promote him to the position of steward. Jia Shan never dreamed that such a day would come! It was as if a huge pie had fallen on his head, and Jia Shan was overjoyed.

He quickly volunteered and offered many ideas and suggestions to Mo Yuming.

He also took the initiative to ask Mo Yuming to let him take Master Fu to auction houses in some surrounding cities to experience and learn from their experience.

The Desperate Slope and the Self-Sacrifice Cliff face each other across the valley. Because the Self-Sacrifice Cliff protrudes much into the valley center, and the Desperate Slope also has a relatively large bend here, the distance between the two places is the second closest after Dongying Town and Xiyu Town, with only fifty or sixty zhang between them.

Once one's cultivation level reaches the peak of the Earth Rank, one can cross the canyon from here to the other side without having to detour between the two towns.

However, the entrance to the Cliff of Self-Sacrifice was often hit by hurricanes, making it extremely difficult for passersby to walk on it. Therefore, even experts at the peak of the Earth Rank dared not show off their abilities here, in case they were blown away by the strong winds in mid-air, it would be a complete tragedy.

While inspecting the land for the construction of the auction house, a thought suddenly flashed through Mo Yuming's mind.

If a bridge were built here, merchants traveling between the two continents would no longer need to detour between Dongying Town and Xiyu Town.

For merchants who are in a hurry and in a rush, this is undoubtedly a great thing, as it can save them more than an hour of travel time.

Moreover, all travelers can rest briefly at the Wushuang Hotel before continuing their journey to their destination.

In this way, the number of visitors to Wushuang Hotel will increase, and the likelihood of business people spending money at the hotel will naturally increase.

Furthermore, once the Peerless Castle is completed, that section of the canyon can be completely sealed off as private territory, prohibiting outsiders from entering and facilitating management. In this way, the secrets within the Peerless Castle will be even more secure.

Fifty zhang is a distance, which is quite far, but it is nothing to Mo Yuming, a tech guy.

After careful consideration, Mo Yuming decided to build the bridge as a covered bridge.

One end is directly connected to the city wall of the Wushuang Hotel, and the bridgehead is integrated with the hotel, allowing direct access to and from the hotel.

At the other end, a bridgehead was built on the deadly slope, and a section of city wall was constructed on both sides of the cliff.

This would not only protect the safety of the bridge and prevent troublemakers from causing disturbances, but also serve as the city gate for entering the Peerless Castle.

Most importantly, after the Wushuang Grand Hotel was built, it successfully blocked the hurricane on the Sheshan Cliff.

Building a bridge here is perfectly safe; there's no need to worry about it being blown away by a hurricane.
