Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue understood after listening to him.
A country definitely would not allow an organization that threatened national security to exist—especially Xia country, which was very strict in controlling organizations.
Of course, small gangs were not enough to attract the attention of the higher-ups of the country.
After all, in this society, there were always some idle people who liked to stir up trouble.
If they had to get involved in everything, it would be a sheer waste of energy and money.
…
There was a moment of silence.
“Brother, where are you planning to set up the guesthouse?” Zhao Xuanxuan asked.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment. “In the mountains.”
“The mountains?” Zhao Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment. “Won’t we become savages then?”
Qin Chuan shrugged his shoulders. “There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, we are still too weak now.”
“Brother, what realm are you at now?” Zhao Xuanxuan asked casually.
Ma Qingxue was equally curious.
After all, he was the one guiding others to cultivate, so his realm shouldn’t be low.
Qin Chuan replied, “I recently broke through to Golden Core.”
“Golden Core? Is that powerful?” Zhao Xuanxuan was very interested.
Qin Chuan spread out his hands and said, “I’m not sure about that. After all, there’s nothing I can refer it back to.
“If you really want to talk about the might, destroying a Tier 3 city like Beichuan shouldn’t be a problem.”
Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue were stunned. “It’s that powerful? For real?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Qin Chuan put on a serious expression.
Then, he continued, “If you are one of the leaders of the country, would you allow someone like me to exist?”
Zhao Xuanxuan thought for a moment, then said, “If you can contribute to the country, why not!”
“Then think about it again. I won’t be the only Golden Core cultivator in the future. Everyone in the sect could become one.
“Can you guarantee that they are all loyal and dedicated to the country?
“Probably not!
“Plus, the leaders of the country are not stupid. If a force they can’t control pops up, they won’t allow it to exist for very long.
Zhao Xuanxuan couldn’t refute his argument.
Qin Chuan continued, “Actually, we shouldn’t be too anxious either, nor should we treat our country as an enemy. Instead, we should just focus on cultivating.
“If it really comes to a point where things get out of hand, we can just hide and endure for a few hundred years. After all, we have really long lifespans.”
“Alright!” Zhao Xuanxuan had nothing else to ask for now.
Ma Qingxue, who was at the side, pondered for a while and said, “Opening a guesthouse will require a considerable amount of money.”
Qin Chuan smiled and said, “Money is a small issue. I’m just afraid that there won’t be enough land for me to set up one.”
Ma Qingxue offered, “I have an idea.
“I had a client who works in tourism.
“I can ask him about guesthouses and whatnot. There shouldn’t be any problems.”
Qin Chuan was overjoyed. He immediately went online to search for a suitable location.
…
The next day.
Qin Chuan gathered the people in the sect and told them about his plan to start a guesthouse.
No one had any objections.
To them, it was fine as long as it didn’t affect their cultivation.
Hence, Qin Chuan told Ma Qingxue his general conditions for it.
Ma Qingxue immediately contacted her client.
At noon, Qin Chuan arrived at the client’s company.
“You must be Qin Chuan, Mr. Qin!” The moment he walked into the office, a slightly plump middle-aged man came up to him with a smile.
“You are… CEO Lan?” Although Qin Chuan didn’t know this person, he could guess that this was Ma Qingxue’s client.
“Mr. Qin, this is my name card.” The middle-aged man smiled as he handed Qin Chuan his name card.
“Lan Bao[1]?”
Qin Chuan took a look at the name on the name card and couldn’t help but find it funny.
Lan Bao smiled. “Everyone likes to call me Big Brother Bao, but you, you can call me Little Brother Bao.”
Qin Chuan blushed with shame. “I’ll call you CEO Lan!”
Qin Chuan came to Lan Bao’s office.
The office was not luxurious. The table was messy, piled with all sorts of documents. There were various sheets of paper scattered on the floor.
As Lan Bao brewed tea, he said, “The office is a little messy. I hope you don’t mind.”
Qin Chuan smiled. “CEO Lan, let’s talk about my guesthouse!”
“Alright!” Lan Bao handed Qin Chuan a cup of hot tea and then searched through the documents on the table.
When Qin Chuan saw this, he couldn’t help but ask, “CEO Lan, you have such a big company, you should at least have a secretary to tidy your office!”
Lan Bao replied, “To be honest, the Beichuan tourism market is no longer as bustling in recent years.
“My company has been making losses for two years already. In order to save money, I had to lay off my employees.
“I once had a secretary. That figure, that face, that skill, tsk tsk tsk——”
“…”
“Found it!”
Lan Bao excitedly picked up the document and checked it. If there were no problems, he would pass it to Qin Chuan.
“Mr Qin, please take a look.” Lan Bao handed the document to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan opened the document and flipped through it carefully.
“Cloud Mountain Guesthouse is located at the southernmost part of Beichuan. Surrounded by mountains on all sides with rugged mountain paths…”
After looking through it, Qin Chuan felt that Cloud Mountain Guesthouse was a good fit for what he was looking for.
He didn’t dawdle and directly said, “CEO Lan, state a price!”
Lan Bao was stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so forthright. It seemed like he was really a rich person.
Then, Lan Bao took the calculator and quickly pressed a few buttons.
“Mr. Qin, you were recommended by Lawyer Ma. I won’t cheat you.
“The Cloud Mountain Guesthouse is located deep in the mountains and forests. The cost for construction isn’t bad either.
“Furthermore, all renovations are already done, and the furniture and various living facilities are all provided.
“So, it will start at a fixed price of three million! “Lan Bao said.
“Sure!” Qin Chuan agreed without hesitation.
Lan Bao was extremely shocked.
This man is rich!
“CEO Lan, when will we sign the contract?” Qin Chuan asked.
Lan Bao was shocked again. He said excitedly, “Mr. Qin, we can sign it today if you wish to.
“But, it would take an hour or two to draft a contract and take care of some miscellaneous matters.
“So, I’ll need you to wait for a while.”
“Sure! Call me when the contract is finalized.”
Qin Chuan stood up and prepared to leave.
“Mr. Qin, where are you going?” Lan Bao ran over and said beamingly, “It’s in the middle of the day. Why don’t I send you to the clubhouse for a rest?”
Qin Chuan understood what he meant and immediately rejected him. “Thank you for your kind intentions but maybe next time!”
“Alright then!” Since Qin Chuan was determined, Lan Bao could only give up.
…
After leaving the office, Qin Chuan made a call.
“Hello, is this Vice President Liu?”
“You are?”
“I’m Qin Chuan.”
“Oh! So it’s Mr Qin. You’ve called me all of a sudden today, I’m guessing that you want to trade gold?”
“That’s right. Do you have time?”
“How much do you have? I’m asking so that I can prepare the money.”
“There should be about 15KG!”
“1…15KG! Mr. Qin, please don’t joke around.
“According to the current price of gold, one gram is about 350 yuan. Your gold is worth at least 5 million yuan.”
“I’m not kidding. When are you available? I need to sell this quite urgently.”
“Please wait a moment.”
A few seconds later…
“Mr. Qin, where are you now? Shall I send a car to pick you up?”
“I’ll wait for you at xx bus stop on XX Street!”
“Sure!”
After hanging up the call, Qin Chuan came to a nearby bus stop.
Many people were waiting at the bus stop.
At this moment, a woman walked over from afar.
