Chapter 32: Borrowing Money
“Buy… sell…” Wu Jinliang mumbled twice, and once he grasped the true meaning, he was instantly dumbfounded, an exaggerated expression of surprise difficult to top.
Then he slowly turned his head back to the spot where a crowd had gathered at the entrance of Liyun Tower.
His mind suddenly felt a bit muddled. He couldn’t help but quietly count on his fingers: if they paid 50,000 gold, they could get that top courtesan out of Liyun Tower, then sell her for 200,000 gold.
After deducting costs, they would earn 150,000! What was 150,000 gold? Most people earned 300 gold a month, which was 3,600 a year. Forget most people; for those who had just come out of the Land of Exile, being able to find work that paid 300 gold a month was already good.
This single deal was enough to cover forty years’ worth of earnings!
If Old Dong and the others invested 40,000 and took 80,000 back, Chuntian would still get 120,000 from the 200,000.
With such a huge sum of money, spending it would be immensely pleasurable.
He felt he could immediately experience what it was like to be above others.
Would they offend Liyun Tower? No, the top courtesan was redeeming herself and leaving, and Liyun Tower would still receive 500,000, so they wouldn't lose out.
