Chapter 816: A clear goal
With that, she pushed forward another plan which she had asked Lin Yu to draw since her skills were a bit too lacking. Yun Zhao looked at the paper which Su Wan pushed in front of him and his eyes widened before he snapped his head to look at Su Wan and said with a slight embarrassment, " I..Isn't this like those shady places?"
Though he was an official it wasn't as if he did not visit those districts where women sold themselves. Back when he was young, he was quite a regular visitor to these places, however, once he grew up he stopped going to such messy places and started studying seriously before becoming a secondary-level scholar.
But now the magistrate of his town was telling him that he needed to become one of those pimps to revive his town? He did not want to!
" You are thinking wrong, Master Yun," Su Wan was not surprised by Yun Zhao's way of thinking as her husbands thought the same when she introduced her plan to them. " This is called a mermaid aquarium, though we will think of introducing fish later on if it did not work."
" A what?" Yun Zhao frowned as he had never heard of something like this before. If not for Su Wan, he was quite sure that he would have not even heard of the word 'aquarium', which was a lot hard to pronounce now that he thought about it. " A m..mer what?"
" A mermaid aquarium," Su Wan repeated before she started explaining how things were going to work in the mermaid aquarium. " I am thinking of exporting some large pieces of glass which are available in another country, something that has already begun and then building an aquarium. What you are thinking has nothing to do with this plan of mine."
" Though the clothes of the women in the pictures drawn look a bit bold and small, it is all because I need to make sure that they will be able to move freely underwater," continued Su Wan as she pushed the paper which was lying on the top of the stack and then pointed to the one underneath it.
" The women hired by us are only responsible for showing various tricks and techniques underwater and providing entertainment to the guests who will purchase tickets and go inside to watch the show. Other than that they will not be responsible for anything."
Su Wan was not going to make those girls who were younger than her sell their bodies. She was simply giving them a job which will suit them and even make them independent—— though it was not a grand thing in the future since no one had seen something like this in this era, Su Wan was sure that she will be able to make quite a buck from it.
" This indeed looks quite innovative," Once Su Wan was done explaining, Yun Zhao also realised that it was a very interesting thing. If this plan of theirs succeeded then they will be able to change the situation of their town around! However soon his brows furrowed and then he said, " But Madam Su, though this is a very innovative idea what if someone was to copy it?
I mean it's not that difficult to follow right?"
" Of course it's possible but that does not mean that it's easy to copy," stated Su Wan with a calm voice. " The tricks that I know are not easy to copy and it will take at least six months for someone to learn it. What's more, we will only get more and more innovative with each show, if they can still copy us then it is our fault for lacking in innovations and coming up with a better set of ideas."
Su Wan had always believed that if you are good then try to be best instead of dabbling your hands in dirty tricks.
Of course, she knew that there was a chance that others could copy her ideas but it would in the end go down to just how innovative her idea really was!
When Yun Zhao heard Su Wan's confident words, he softly smiled and then nodded, " You are right Madam Su, in the end, it's all in our hands. If we are better than the rest then we have nothing to worry about."
He took a look at the plans which were shown to him by Su Wan and then said in a high-spirited voice, " Though we have a few places as you want, I will take a look around the town and choose which is the best one, after all, we cannot be lack lustre if we want to make this work."
Su Wan nodded before she turned to look at Lin Jing and said, " Brother Jing, you should go and take a look as well since you will be in charge of the construction once the building is chosen. Since you are skilled in building things we have to rely on you."
Since her husbands were willing to follow her to this forsaken land, Su Wan was going to make sure that they will be a part of this project from start to finish. The more they gain experience the more their sense of achievement will increase.
Making them work hard and praising them once they come back was really necessary.
As expected, Lin Jing's smile deepened and he nodded happily.
He was happy that he was of some use to his wife, in the past he thought that he was only good at hunting animals since he was neither a good talker nor did he knew how to help out in the house but fortunately him, Su Wan did not mind his lack of skills and even made him learn new things.
In particular, the wood carving and making furniture. Though he had no idea how a building was made, he was sure that he can learn as long as he was willing to work hard!
He looked at Su Wan who was trying to be considerate towards him and then patted her on the head. " Don't worry, leave all these things to me."
