Mu Wanqing opened them casually. One of them was Mu Nannan's engagement letter. She had someone pass a message to Lord Yao last night, but she didn't expect it to be dealt with so quickly.
"Thanks."
One was a gift, a piece of calligraphy with the words "Mu's Centennial Hotpot" written in large letters, written in a very majestic and imposing style.
Mu Wanqing looked at the signature at the bottom and was stunned for a moment, "Did you write this?"
Du Shaoxuan felt a little inexplicably nervous, although he didn't know why. "Yes, if it works, use it. If it doesn't, forget it."
Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "Of course we have to use it. General Du's calligraphy can subdue many demons and monsters."
Anyway, it's more useful than hers in this area.
Du Shaoxuan couldn't help but grin foolishly, and Du Shuai on the side couldn't bear to look at him. It was too stupid. He didn't seem to be so stupid when he was young.
The last box actually contained a stack of land deeds and house deeds.
Mu Wanqing was a little confused, "What does this mean?" Seeing that this place is a food court, she was still thinking about how to start, but... it can't be for her? Impossible.
Du Shuai said calmly, "Confiscate that food street. We are seeking cooperation."
Mu Wanqing felt a little complicated. Before she made a move, the food street was already in Du Shuai's hands. She had to say that he acted decisively. "How do we cooperate?"
Du Shuai had two purposes for this trip, one was to support Mu Wanqing, and the other was to find her for something.
"We will provide the land and venue for you to operate. The profit will be 90:1, 90% for the government and 10% for you."
It seems harsh, but the Dusifu is a government office, and all the money will not go into someone's pocket, but will be used for people's livelihood and the military.
Mu Wanqing is an individual, so the 10% profit goes into her pocket entirely, without having to share it with others. There are so many stores on one street.
The most important thing is that she cooperates with the government, so who would dare to cause trouble?
This is not a disadvantage for Mu Wanqing herself.
But... Mu Wanqing hesitated. She was really busy and her schedule was full.
Du Shuai glanced at her and added, "Also, you can choose a house from them."
This is possible. Mu Wanqing is planning to open a store and sell the products produced by the farm, such as woolen clothes, woolen hats and scarves, and next year's cotton cloth and derivative products.
"I want absolute control, and no one can interfere."
Du Shuai nodded slightly. He had long seen that Mu Wanqing had a strong and unquestionable character.
"I will appoint an accountant to come and check the accounts once a month. The accounts must be clear and there must be no favoritism or fraud."
"Sure." Mu Wanqing has always been open and honest in her work, and she is good at making money, so why would she engage in corruption?
Seeing her so straightforward, Du Shuai couldn't help but smile, "Tell me, how do you want to do it?"
Du Shaoxuan couldn't help but jump out, "Father, she just took over, how can it be so fast? Ask again in a few days."
Du Shuai glared at his son unhappily. Look, he is already protecting his sweetheart now. What will happen if he marries her in the future?
Mu Wanqing tapped the table lightly and fell into deep thought. Liangcheng used to have only two busy streets, and now with the addition of a snack street, it can be said that Liangcheng's business is not well developed, even deserted.
"It's not that Liangcheng doesn't allow a second snack street, but it's too close, the food is similar, and there are only so many consumers, so the profits will naturally be diluted, which is meaningless, so I want to transform."
Du Shuai didn't know much about this, "But we've already figured it out. Wouldn't it be a shame to give it all up now?"
"How could that be?" Mu Wanqing asked someone to bring her the four treasures of the study, and she casually drew a topography of the area.
There is only a little over a mile between Mu’s Snack Street and Food Street, and the area in between is where the poor gather.
"Aren't these two streets close together? We can create a prosperous commercial area." Mu Wanqing pointed to the poor gathering place in the middle and had a bold idea, "As long as we open up this area and extend it southward, we can connect the upper and lower parts. We can provide a one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun."
She strives to make the pie bigger. "This street can be built into a commercial street, with both centralized businesses and scattered shops. We can choose old shops with good reputation and characteristics to settle in, such as cloth shops, jewelry shops, tea shops, shoe and hat shops, candy shops, calligraphy and painting shops, etc."
Du Shuai frowned slightly, "But these are all available on Dongmen Street." These are the stores that masters and mistresses like to visit. Mrs. Du doesn't like to go there, so she asks the shopkeeper to deliver the goods to her door for her to choose.
Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly. Dongmen Street is the main street, but it is too scattered and has no overall planning.
"I will bring in a batch of goods from Jiangnan, and I will also make some myself, which will be different from those sold on Dongmen Street." Mu Wanqing's positioning is that ordinary people can buy it, and the goods must be complete and novel, "and it will be popular among the people."
Popularization? Du Shuai and his son seemed to be thinking about it.
Mu Wanqing couldn't stop thinking, "Build a large supermarket or department store on this extended area..."
Liangcheng is very poor, but things will be different in the future. With cotton as a weapon, the entire Xiliang area can be driven.
As the political center of Xiliang, Liangcheng can naturally become an economic center. Will you still be worried that it will not be able to support a commercial center?
She just planned ahead.
Du Shaoxuan was full of admiration. She was really amazing. She could come up with so many ideas just by thinking about it.
Du Shuai heard a few words he didn't understand, "Wait a minute, what is a supermarket?"
Mu Wanqing patiently explained, "Supermarkets sell everything from food and drinks to daily necessities."
Du Shuai asked curiously, "What's the difference between that and a department store?"
"The positioning is different. Department stores mainly sell durable luxury goods and target people with some money in their pockets." Mu Wanqing plans to sweep the entire city in one fell swoop, using consumption to promote production and eliminate poverty at the same time.
"Supermarkets mainly sell fast-moving consumer goods and daily necessities, which are affordable for ordinary people."
Her explanation was simple and clear, and Du Shuai understood it. "Where should these poor people move to? I don't want them to be displaced."
Mu Wanqing wrote a big Chinese character "折" in the slum area, which is a way to get rich in modern times.
"How could that be? I will arrange for the demolition and will not let them suffer any loss. I plan to build a demolition community here. With cement and red bricks, I can build several-story buildings and provide heating."
She drew a circle near the snack street and locked onto this position.
She came up with new terms one after another, and Du Shuai looked at her differently. What was wrong with her brain? "Demolition community?"
"Yes, the demolition plan can be tentatively set at a ratio of 1:1.5. That is to say, the previous living area..." Mu Wanqing paused. He might not understand the living area. "I mean, they used to have one room, but now they are given one and a half rooms, and they are brand new. Do you think those people are willing?"
Du Shuai looked at Mu Wanqing's various tricks and finally understood why she was so successful. Her brain was different from others. "If it's really possible, I'd definitely be willing to do that."
"Well, while pursuing commercial interests, we cannot ignore the interests of the people." This is Mu Wanqing's bottom line. Profit sharing and a win-win situation are what she wants.
The people are the cornerstone, and we must never destroy our own foundation.
When Du Shuai heard this, he was completely relieved. She was not one of those greedy businessmen. She had bottom lines, principles and feelings.
After the two signed the agreement, he gave Mu Wanqing a gift, the title deed to Renjitang that she wanted, and only charged a very low price.
Mu Wanqing was overjoyed. Suddenly, she had two more shops. That was great.
Coach Du is very busy with work, so it is not easy for him to find time to eat a hotpot. After eating, he packed up a portion and said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Du Shaoxuan hesitated, and Du Shuai twitched his mouth and walked out first.
Du Shaoxuan then said happily, "Wanqing, I like your plan very much. You will definitely succeed. If you have any problems, just go to your brother-in-law. I have already told him and he will fully cooperate with you."
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Why did you come up with this idea out of nowhere? Did you say anything?"
This is not like Du Shuai's style.
Du Shaoxuan didn't expect her to be so perceptive. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Ahem, I'm just helping my father. There's no one in the city who knows better than you."
A street is used as a bus, but if it is not operated well, it will not last long.
"You have a good eye. This street more or less originally belonged to Jin Yulang?" If Mu Wanqing guessed correctly, Jin Yulang originally wanted to use this street to make money, which could be used as activity funds and brought back to his motherland.
"Half." Du Shaoxuan was very emotional. If Mu Wanqing hadn't been smart enough to dig out Jin Yulang, who knows what kind of trouble would have happened. "The other four people got half."
The four men only followed Jin Yulang's lead and regarded him as their boss. They usually got a lot of benefits from Jin Yulang and inadvertently leaked a lot of information.
Even if I cut off ties with him now, it's too late. I have to spit out everything I ate.
Mu Wanqing was not interested in the fate of these people. "Jin Yulang wanted everything. He wanted power, profit, and money. He also wanted to cheat the Du family. I feel tired for him. Now it's good. He can go in and have a good rest."
"Hahaha." Du Shaoxuan was amused, "Do you know who Jin Yulang is?"
Mu Wanqing said casually, "It should be a dignitary from a certain country."
Du Shaoxuan had a complicated expression. "He is the half-brother of the King of Xiwu Nanyuan. He came to Qi when he was six years old."
Mu Wanqing: Starting to train a six-year-old child, it’s really... Alas.
Hey, King of the South Courtyard? Why does it sound familiar?
Du Shaoxuan saw her doubts and took the initiative to say, "It was the King of the South Court who proposed to Miss Ji."
Mu Wanqing suddenly realized that it was him, "He has been eyeing me covetously all these years."
Du Shaoxuan sighed softly, "Yes, I'm lucky to have you this time. Jin Yulang's biggest mistake was that he couldn't think straight and provoked you."
Jin Yulang wanted to make money, so he set his sights on Mu Wanqing, who was particularly good at making money.
Mu Wanqing's heart moved, "He can't make money, right?"
Du Shaoxuan couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I lose money no matter what I open, whether it's a teahouse or a pharmacy, I lose money every year."
Mu Wanqing was shocked. It was understandable that the teahouse was not making money, but why was the pharmacy losing money?
Okay, she's such a money-loser, no wonder they targeted her.
She rolled her eyes and came up with a plan, "Why not spread the word and see if we can catch a few small fish? According to common sense, they have invested so much money in Jin Yulang, they will not give up easily, and they may come to rob the prison."
Du Shaoxuan's mind opened up, "That makes sense, let's make a fake one and wait for the fish to take the bait."
Mu Wanqing gave a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, not bad, smart."
Du Shaoxuan's eyebrows curved, "You are smarter."
"Thank you very much, hahaha." Mu Wanqing got two stores and was in a very good mood. She was very sweet-mouthed.
The two of them looked at each other with smiles on their faces, both of them very happy.
A guard came over and said, "Young Master, Commander Du has left first. Please remember to go back in the evening."
Du Shaoxuan: ...This weird guy, is he my biological father?
When the diners heard that Du Shuai was coming to eat hotpot, they all rushed over. They were so regretful that they were a step late that they had to comfort themselves by eating the same hotpot that Du Shuai had.
I became addicted and amazed after trying it once, and became a hotpot lover.
The queue was so long that it blocked half of the street.
People tend to follow the trend. Seeing such an exaggerated queue, they naturally lined up too. It must be delicious!
In this way, the hot pot restaurant did not rest in the afternoon and closed until the early morning, making the waiters exhausted and their feet swollen.
There is no curfew today and tomorrow, so feel free to build as much as you want.
Seeing this, Mu Wanqing announced, "Double salary for the first month."
The waiters immediately became full of energy and said that they could fight another hundred times!
When calculating the accounts, Mrs. Mu was stunned. This was too much profit, more than the profit of her own stores combined.
Mu Wanqing was very calm. What a big deal. Luxury goods are the most profitable.
Well, she has been thinking about how to cheat the money out of the pockets of the powerful and wealthy, not only those from other countries, but also those from Qi.
Don't think she doesn't know. Those ministers in the court have united to report and impeach her. She will definitely retaliate. Just wait!
