Chapter 405: Making Money (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“I…the towns I drew are also very scattered.” As he spoke, Third Master Zhou showed the papers he drew to Lin Xiaoyue and the others.

“I won’t ask to switch. I want the 20 stores in these towns, so Ms. Lin, please name a price.”

As Third Master Zhou spoke, he picked up a pen at the side and circled a spot on Lin Xiaoyue’s map.

Lin Xiaoyue took a look and quickly calculated in her heart.

There were exactly 20 stores in the town.

She looked at Third Master Zhou and thought to herself, “I thought Third

Master Zhou really sacrificed himself for Old Master Zhou.”

Now, it seemed that he had already planned to do so.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled when she saw Third Master Zhou’s nervous expression. “They are indeed too scattered. If you switch, the changes will be quite big.” When Third Master Zhou heard this, he looked even more nervous.

“However, Liu’s Express hasn’t recruited any other partners yet, and I still have the stores.”

“How about this, you give an extra 200 taels and the stores in these towns will be yours.” Then, Lin Xiaoyue spoke.

200 taels was the joining fee.

Third Master Zhou had a total of 20 stores. After splitting it evenly, each store only cost 20 taels more.

Sigh, it wasn’t that she wanted to raise their prices, but she was really short of money now!

Even a few wen were very precious to her now.

It was because her husband had to support the Nangong Army at the border.

Just food and drink for 6,000 thousand people for a month would cost 5 to

6,000 taels of silver.

If she could, she would charge more. It could at least reduce some pressure, right?

Third Master Zhou’s heart skipped a beat.

Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had 200 taels.

“Good!” After saying that, Third Master Zhou counted 4,200 taels of silver and gave it to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue saw that Third Master Zhou kept 3 notes from the stack, and her eyes were filled with disappointment.

It seemed that she could have asked for more.

Third Master Zhou prepared at least 4,500 taels of silver…

Third Master Zhou saw Lin Xiaoyue’s expression and quickly stuffed the three silver notes back into his pocket.

He looked as if he was afraid that Lin Xiaoyue would ask him for it.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled awkwardly and retracted her gaze.

She then counted the banknotes and confirmed that the amount was correct before putting them into the money box.

Then, she signed a contract with Third Master Zhou.

With the contract in hand, the nervous Third Master Zhou finally calmed down. It was finally done…

“It’s still early. Please have some tea and rest for a while. I’ll be back soon.” Lin

Xiaoyue held the money box and smiled at everyone.

Everyone looked at the money box in Lin Xiaoyue’s hand with envy.

Knowing that she was going to put the money away, they agreed.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyue leave. She did not even bring Zhao Shanshan along and went to the backyard by herself.

After returning to her room, Lin Xiaoyue placed the money box on the bed. She couldn’t wait to count them again.

The number was correct, a total of 7,600 taels.

Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment, then took out the small box containing the silver notes from her interspatial ring and counted them.

She still had 2,900 taels left.

She had given money to the three heads of the manor.

It was a total of 6,500 taels.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so poor.

“7,600 taels, plus the remaining 2,900 taels, a total of 10,500 taels.” Lin

Xiaoyue muttered.

A portion of the money had to be deducted as the renovation fee, as well as the rent for the workshop and the chain stores.

In addition, she bought all kinds of tools, cutlery, carriages, and so on for the workshop. And labor costs…

Forget it, she didn’t dare to think too much.

If she wanted to open chain stores all over Nan’an County, she would not have much money left.

Yesterday afternoon, she brought Shanshan and Zhao Fu along with her. After taking Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang’s suggestions into consideration, she had decided on the number of stores in Nan’an County.

They chose 22 towns, including Nan’an County, and finally decided on 64 stores.

Today, Third Master Zhou and the others had already booked 36 of them and there were still 28 left.

She hoped that Liang Yu could settle the remaining 28. That way, she could get 5,600 taels more..
