Chapter 440: The Extraordinary Woman

This Hua Mianhu, back in the day, was an extraordinary woman in Licheng City.

She founded a brothel at just over 20 years old.

At that time, the brothel operated on a membership basis.

If you were a wealthy merchant, you needed to pay an annual fee of 380,000 yuan to qualify for entry.

Of course, having money wasn't enough.

When applying for membership, one had to verify their financial status; a mandatory condition was assets of at least 30 million yuan.

If your assets were 29 million yuan, even if you paid an annual fee of 3.8 million yuan, you still couldn't enter the brothel.

If you were a high-ranking official, however, it was different.

The brothel had a complete system of tiered privileges.

If you were a high-ranking official of at least ministerial level,

entering the brothel meant all your expenses were covered by the house.

Vice ministers got a 90% discount, bureau chiefs a 70% discount, deputy bureau chiefs a 50% discount, and division chiefs a 30% discount.
