Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Zhongguo were dead.
Zhang Tianyu was slain by a hitman hired by a shareholder of the Tianyu Group, and Zhang Zhongguo committed suicide by jumping off a building the next day.
Upon learning this, Lin Yun sighed slightly.
People die in the pursuit of wealth, birds perish in the pursuit of food.
The shareholders of the Tianyu Group were even more ruthless than he thought.
Though, as a result, he grew more cautious of those possessing great wealth.
None of the people capable of amassing such wealth were simple.
From now on, he had to be even more careful when taking actions.
Lin Yun imdiately instructed his bodyguards to keep an extra eye on Xia Qingqing's safety these days.
The bodyguards newly hired by Lin Yun were not only strong, but several of them were also ard.
Firearms were generally not sothing private bodyguards could possess.
This evidenced the vast capabilities of the Gold Sword Security Company.
Lin Yun was taken aback when he found out.
However, these kind of bodyguards did not co cheap. Ordinary bodyguards cost a hundred thousand a month, while those of higher ranks ca with a significantly higher price tag; two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, or even half a million a month.
Because high-ranking bodyguards with firearm licenses were hard to co by.
Additionally, there were so bodyguards who possessed the Flying Sword Skill.
This 'Flying Sword' was not the one found in cultivation novels, but rather a weapon similar to a flying dagger.
This was a unique martial art of the Golden Sword Sect.
With it, one could hit their target seven or eight tis out of ten within a range of several dozen ters. The accuracy of a firearm was also more or less the sa.
This skill was incredibly useful in Huaxia, where firearms were heavily regulated.
Naturally, these bodyguards were also expensive. Lin Yun didn't mind the cost and prioritized hiring these types of bodyguards.
However, these bodyguards were not readily available to every client, and the numbers were limited. It was only after Lin Yun reached a certain level and Lin ngng stepped in, that he could hire them in large numbers.
anwhile, after discussing it over with Lin Yun, Lin ngng bought twenty bottles of Qingyun Supre at half price at the Qingyun Hotel. The total cost ca up to 110.88 million.
The dicinal effects of a single bottle of Qingyun Supre was equivalent to three bottles from the Lin Family. The three bottles from the Lin Family alone would cost over 7 million, so it was more cost-effective to buy Qingyun Supre at half price. Not to ntion, the absorption rate of Qingyun Supre was much faster.
It was not Lin ngng who proposed buying twenty bottles, but the Lin Family.
The Lin Family didn't buy more as they considered the difficulty and cost of producing such a dicinal wine. Even though they bought it at half price, Lin ngng didn't want to take too much advantage of Lin Yun. Additionally, they had to test the wine to see if it had any side effects.
Lin Yun, in turn, didn't mind this and was actually quite expectant as a result.
Considering the price of this wine on the Cosmic Trading System, although it wasn't cheap, the Huaxia Currency he earned from selling it could, in fact, be used to purchase various resources reasonably. Lin Yun realized that the profits were almost as high as that from selling his Qingyun charging treasures.
And this was only the profit gained from selling at half price.
If sold at full price, the profits would be substantially more.
Right now, he was in need of money. If the Lin Family decided to buy in large quantities, nothing could be better.
However, the fate of Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Zhongguo had served as a warning to Lin Yun.
The Lin Family's influence was far greater.
If the Lin Family found out he had a large supply of this dicinal wine and was eager to sell it at half price, would they have other plans?
Although Lin Yun got along well with Lin ngng and he believed she wouldn't harm him, Lin ngng didn't represent the entirety of the Lin Family. It was prudent to guard against others. Until his strength reached a certain level, it would be best for him to remain cautious.
Therefore, he did not show much enthusiasm.
The Lin Family was one thing, but Lin Yun learned through Lin ngng that there were also nurous martial sects and martial families currently in society. The Lin family's influence was not much compared to them. If those martial artists found out that he had a large supply of Qingyun Supre, it could cause quite a commotion.
Martial artists tended to be even more formidable than ordinary people.
So from then on, the price of Qingyun Supre was no longer casually discounted. The price of 11.88 million was approximately the market price for this dicinal wine. No more discount would be given, except for the wine tasting exceptionally good and him selling it slightly cheaper.
Lin Yun also placed a spending restriction on Qingyun Supre, with it only being available for purchase by custors who had spent 50 million at Qingyun Restaurant or Qingyun Hotel, or had recharged a hundred million credits. Moreover, a single custor could only buy three bottles a month.
This was sothing Lin Yun set up following the Gold Sword Security Company's thod of implenting custor levels.
Although Lin Yun wanted to sell a large quantity of Qingyun Supre, he had no choice but to set it up this way.
At the sa ti, Qingyun Hotel and Qingyun Restaurant introduced a mbership system. Becoming a regular mber required a one-ti expenditure of 500 thousand or a recharge of 1 million to receive a 5% discount. And spending a million or recharging 5 million could upgrade to an Iron Card mbership, which ca with a 10% discount. Higher-level mberships were not yet available.
Additionally, these discounts did not apply to Qingyun Supre.
Qingyun Supre wasn't exempt from discounts entirely. To get a 5% discount on a ten-bottle monthly limit, one had to recharge 10 billion. And to get a 10% discount on buying 20 bottles each month, one had to recharge 30 billion.
The implentation of such policies not only facilitated the developnt of Qingyun Restaurant and Qingyun Hotel but also highlighted the value of Qingyun Supre.
At the sa ti, Lin Yun used his super-brain and his computer skills to block out information about his ho background online. To do so, he specifically purchased so advanced computer technology, costing him 30 Spirit Crystals.
This way, unless there were any surprises, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to look into his family background anymore.
As expected, after the policies implented by Qingyun Restaurant and Qingyun Hotel were announced, they caused quite a stir in Shen City. Qingyun Restaurant beca the top among top-tier restaurants.
Spending 500 thousand or a million in a single al, or recharging a million or 5 million didn't count for much. Other top-tier restaurants also had similar systems, and so even set higher thresholds.
The crucial point lied in the 10 million-plus bottle of wine. It astonishingly required a minimum spend of 50 million or recharging 100 million for it to be purchasable. Not only was there no discount offered, but there was also a limit on a number of bottles you could buy.
If you wanted a discount and to buy more, there were only two thresholds: one was recharging 10 billion and the other was recharging 30 billion. Only soone with a screw loose would buy wine that way.
Many believed that Qingyun Supre was probably just a publicity stunt by Qingyun Restaurant.
Truth be told, Qingyun Restaurant's strategy wasn't a bad one. While they didn't know if there were people silly enough to buy Qingyun Supre in such a manner, they had made a na for themselves and elevated Qingyun Supre to a revered status.
More wealthy individuals were now aware of Qingyun Restaurant and Qingyun Supre.
However, Qingyun Supre also had the quality to back its revered status. Not a single custor who had a sip of the Qingyun Supre said it didn't taste good. All they could say was that a bottle cost over a million, a price too steep for the common folk to afford.
