Jade Lotus Harem Club

Mei Ling, an established businesswoman and society figure, founded the Jade Lotus Harem Club on 11.VII.1717 AN in the Blackfriars district of Tiegang. The club was located in the bustling district, known for its rough and dangerous atmosphere, and offered a safe haven for those who desired a more exotic and luxurious experience. Mei Ling was, by this stage of her life, a skilled entrepreneur and ensured that her clients received the best possible experience.

Founding the establishment

Mei Ling was a woman with ambition and a desire to succeed. She saw the potential for a thriving business in the form of the Jade Lotus Harem Club, a place where wealthy patrons could indulge in their desires and spend their money in a lavish and exotic setting. But she needed the resources to make her dream a reality. Fortunately, she had the support of her husband, Anthony al-Osman, the landlord of the Blackfriars' Redux and the Captain-General of the Blackfriars' Regiment.

Through her husband's connections in the Society for Benevolent Investment, Mei Ling was able to secure the necessary funding to acquire the property and start her business. The Society was a fraternal organisation for corporate interests that encouraged the growth of small and medium enterprises through venture capital. By investing in Mei Ling's project, the Society would benefit from a return on their investment and Mei Ling would be expected to repay the favour by investing in future projects in their portfolio.

Mei Ling also had the backing of the Blackfriars' Regiment, a mercenary regiment that was known for their notorious methods of filling their ranks through impressment and kidnapping. The regiment was well-regarded by the Hurmu Peace Corps and had a reputation for providing effective security. With the support of the Blackfriars' Regiment, Mei Ling could be assured that the Jade Lotus Harem Club would be protected from any potential threats.

Mei Ling was not content with just financial and security support, she also wanted to make sure her business was staffed with the best personnel available. To this end, she made use of the Blackfriars' Regimental Impressment Service, which was responsible for recruitment. The service would provide her with the manpower she needed to run the club, and she was able to select only the best and most experienced staff for her business.

The club prospers

The club quickly gained a reputation for its lavish decorations, beautiful and skilled courtesans, and its discrete and confidential services. Mei Ling and her staff were strict about maintaining the privacy and satisfaction of their clients, which only served to increase the club's popularity. The Jade Lotus Harem Club became one of the most exclusive and sought-after establishments in the district, attracting wealthy and powerful individuals from all over Apollonia.

In addition to offering a wide range of sensual experiences, the club also provided entertainment and other services to its clients, such as gambling, private concerts, and fine dining. With the support of her loyal staff, Mei Ling expanded her business, eventually acquiring several other establishments in the Blackfriars' District, making her one of the most influential figures in the area.
