Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Unscrupulous Merchant

Lin Yun let the group in.

When Ding Wei saw the filled warehouse, he was shocked, originally thinking they were all power banks. Only after realizing that many of the items were not power banks did he relax.

If all of these were power banks, how many power banks would there be? The value would probably be in the hundreds of millions.

He had to acknowledge that power banks are quite small, and those present were only in large packaging boxes, without any small packaging.

However, hearing Lin Yun say that there were six hundred thousand power banks here, Ding Wei still gasped in surprise.

A single power bank sold at a wholesale price of one hundred and eight, yet six hundred thousand power banks were worth more than a hundred million.

"Is this what you were calling a massage bathtub?" Lin Mengmeng was eyeing a large package with eagerness, she said.

She had heard Lin Yun mention the effectiveness of these massage bathtubs comparing it to the delicious dishes, which made her want to try out the feeling of using such a bathtub immediately.

"Right, in the afternoon, when the hotel has installed a batch of these, you can give it a try," said Lin Yun with a slight smile.

"Trying it in the hotel…" Lin Mengmeng pondered, "Lin Yun, have you ever thought about a problem? The bathtub is quite a unique item and many people do not like to use a bathtub that others have used before. Therefore, many people do not like to use the hotel tubs…"

"That is a problem," Lin Yun frowned slightly.

That day, when he and Xia Qingqing were in the hotel, they did not use the bathtub in the room.

"Many people do not like to use hotel bathtubs because they are usually not confident in the cleanliness of the tubs. However, these bathtubs have excellent cleaning facilities and come with a special device to track the cleanliness of the tubs. This tracker can be used in many places and fully withstands scrutiny.

Once many people have viewed the cleanliness process of the tub and tracked its cleanliness with the accompanying device, they will not be overly concerned. If they still feel unsure, they can watch the store assistant clean it once, twice or even three times..." Lin Yun's frown eased as he spoke.

He firmly believed in the appeal of these massage bathtubs.

Not everyone has an obsession with cleanliness. Once a few people try out these massage bathtubs, word will spread. He believed that many people would fall in love with this massage bathtub, and it would become a feature of the hotel.

"If they still do not want to use the hotel's massage bathtubs, they could buy one and take it home…" Lin Yun paused slightly, and then flashed a smile as he spoke.

Who said these massage bathtubs couldn't be sold?

In that case, the Qingyun Hotel could conveniently serve as a promotion base for these massage bathtubs.

In addition, a series of ideas sprang up in Lin Yun's mind.

If the hotel and restaurant take off, they will inevitably become gathering places for the rich. At that time, not only could he promote massage bathtubs, but he could also promote other products at these two places. He would turn the restaurant and hotel into launch pads for his new products.

"These massage bathtubs are for sale? How much do they cost? Can I buy one?" Lin Mengmeng's eyes lit up as she eagerly asked.

Because of those dishes, she totally trusted Lin Yun's words about this bathtub. If it was not too expensive, she planned to buy one to take home.

"This bathtub, I plan to price it at one million eight hundred and eighty thousand each. If you want to buy it, I could give you a discount and sell it for one million," Lin Yun laughed. He had already figured out that Lin Mengmeng came from a wealthy family and could afford this bathtub.

"One million for one, even after a discount?" Lin Mengmeng was shocked.

She expected the bathtub to be expensive, but she didn't think it would quite be so costly, one million for a bathtub. That was indeed a sky-high price.

"More than a million for one bathtub?"

Ding Wei and the bodyguards were just as shocked.

They too had not expected a bathtub to be so expensive.

"This price isn't expensive, you see, it's because of this bathtub that I plan to set the lowest room rate at the Qingyun Hotel at six thousand six hundred and six. That's only the price of accommodation for over two hundred days, a very good deal." Lin Yun shook his head as he said this.

"I'll wait until the hotel has finished installing them, and then I'll decide whether to buy or not after I've tried one," Lin Mengmeng said with a bitter smile.

While her father was the Sect Leader of the Golden Sword Sect, and Gold Sword Security Company was a business of the Golden Sword Sect her family's money wasn't easy to come by. One million for a bathtub was too expensive, she needed to try one before deciding whether or not to purchase it.

This was only because she had tasted the effects of those special dishes, if not, she wouldn't have considered it at all.

A bathtub costing a million was far-fetched.

"Okay," Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

Currently, although he and Lin Mengmeng had become very familiar with each other, they were not at the stage where they casually gifted each other items worth over a million.

Especially when the other party is an attractive girl, this could easily result in misunderstandings.

He was willing to give her discounts; this was not a problem.

Soon, the two trucks that Ding Wei had arranged, arrived.

Lin Yun asked one of the trucks to transport some of the renovation materials and tools, and a massage bath to Qingyun Hotel, for Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing was just getting acquainted with various tasks at the hotel.

At the same time, he instructed two bodyguards to accompany the truck.

After all, the truck's load of renovation materials, tools, and the massage bath were not cheap, so having two bodyguards tagging along made him feel more at ease.

Before they arrived, Lin Yun had already sent a bodyguard to replace a renovation team. Gold Sword Security Company had extensive connections, and through them, the bodyguard managed to easily replace a renovation team. The bodyguard had already given Lin Yun a call.

Installation instructions were included in the packaging of these renovation materials, tools, and the massage bath. As long as they were delivered to the hotel, the renovators just had to follow the instructions to install them.

Seeing this, Lin Mengmeng said she had already checked out the situation here and would head back to the hotel with Xia Qingqing.

Lin Yun had to appoint agents for the power banks distribution, so he did not return with Lin Mengmeng.

He asked Lin Mengmeng to take a square alloy box back and hand it over to Xia Qingqing, explaining that the box contained ingredients for cooking.

There were not just one type of ingredients, Lin Yun had prepared a few other types as well and had sent a message to Xia Qingqing to handle them accordingly.

"Aren't you afraid I might secretly take some?" Lin Mengmeng joked when she saw Lin Yun trustingly hand over the box to her.

She knew how precious these ingredients were and how tasty the dishes made from them would be. This box of ingredients was a big temptation for a foodie like her.

"This box is secured with fingerprint and iris recognition, only Qingqing and I can open it," Lin Yun said with a laugh. This was a box he had specifically ordered from the Cosmic Trading System. This was just one of many similar boxes he had ordered in different sizes.

"Humph! How petty!" Lin Mengmeng rolled her eyes and huffed.

"After you deliver this box of ingredients, you can ask Qingqing to give you some. I will also talk to Qingqing about it. Plus, if you spend a lot of time with Qingqing, I don't think she's going to charge you for meals at the restaurant," Lin Yun laughed.

Lin Mengmeng was highly skilled, being with Xia Qingqing was like having an additional bodyguard for Xia. Compared to that, Xia Qingqing just having to offer a few meals seemed insignificant.

An A-level bodyguard cost hundreds of thousands a month. Lin Mengmeng's capabilities were far beyond an A-level bodyguard. Lin Yun estimated that based on the Gold Sword Security Company's standards, she would be worth three hundred to five hundred thousand a month, which was a justifiable cost.

With this, the cost for Lin Mengmeng to protect Xia Qingqing for a day was at least tens of thousands. In comparison, a meal prepared with these ingredients, though expensive, wasn't much at all.

"Your prices are so high, I don't have the nerve to eat there every day. Hmm, I'm leaving now, you heartless businessman." Lin Mengmeng rolled her eyes again and said.

She picked up the box in her hand and turned to leave.

In her heart, she had already labelled Lin Yun as a "heartless businessman".

A dish costs thousands, even tens of thousands. A standard room in the hotel can cost several thousand because of a massage bath. A single massage bath cost over a million, if not a heartless businessman, then what was he?

She didn't believe that the cost of these ingredients and the massage bath was that high.

However, she didn't really have a bad impression of Lin Yun. Her comments were mostly in jest.

Her family was in the business.

She was very clear that some industries and products were very profitable.

Those dishes were worth their price. That was just the market standard. If he sold them for less, it would be unfair to the dishes. Many dishes sold at exorbitant prices didn't taste as good as these.

If that massage bath was as good as claimed by Lin Yun, then spending over a million on one wasn't outrageous. The world is filled with rich people.

You could easily replace many baths in the few hundred-thousand price range, all he did was increase its price a few times.

Take their company's bodyguards for example, they were all people doing the same job, so why did some bodyguards cost a few thousand a month, while others cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a month?

It's because their capabilities differed. If they were all priced the same, wouldn't that be unfair to the highly skilled bodyguards?
