Chapter 823 How Much Can It Sell?
Li Jinyuan waved his hand and asked the people who were asking questions to leave.
He asked for Butler Li to come over, "Butler Li, what do you think is the appropriate price for our hot pot shop?"
Butler Li felt inexplicably heartbroken. He was also present when the shop was bought.
He never thought that this shop would be sold.
This shop is obviously in a good location and has a large space. When he and his master opened the restaurant, they made a lot of money.
But when it came into the hands of my own young master, it became useless.
He really couldn't understand it.
When Li Jinyuan saw that Butler Li didn't say a word, he knew that he was feeling bad too.
Li Jinyuan stood up and patted Butler Li on the shoulder, "I know you feel bad, and I feel bad too.
That day, I had already opened up to my wife about this matter.
Now that it's clear, Qi'er is a prodigal son.
It’s not that I helped him sell what he could in advance, but at least the money is still in my hands.
Otherwise, when I get old, I won’t be able to walk anymore.
I watched helplessly as he bankrupted the family bit by bit."
"Master, let's hand this house over to the young lady and let her help manage it.
With the young lady's ability, I believe that it won't be long before our Li family will be able to make a comeback."
Li Jinyuan shook his head. "We can't go back. Even if we wanted to give it to her, Yingyue wouldn't accept it."
Li Jinyuan pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Butler Li to sit down and talk.
“There are some things that have been stuck in my heart for a long time.
It’s such a coincidence that you came today, so let’s talk about our true feelings.
Recently, I had another quarrel with my wife because of Qi'er's marriage.
We all know what kind of person Li Qi is.
As long as the woman has a clean background and, most importantly, has a good temper and can control Li Qi, it will be fine.
But the lady is very picky and always wants to be the best in everything.
She didn't even think about what kind of person her son was.
Can you be worthy of someone's daughter?"
Butler Li curled his lips and smiled helplessly. How could he dare to express his opinion on such a matter?
Li Jinyuan also knew that he could not get what he wanted from Butler Li, but he just wanted to say it.
"As for this shop, my point is, out of sight, out of mind. If you can sell it, sell it quickly.
After a long time, Li Qi started to have other ideas.
I don’t know how much money he will invest in it at that time. Anyway, he only knows how to invest money and not how to earn money for his family.
Besides, I just exchanged my shop for fields.
At that time, I will use the money from selling the shop to buy a farm.
If famine really comes, at least we won’t go hungry.”
This time, Butler Li nodded in approval.
"I knew you would stand by me.
Don't worry this time, I won't let Li Qi drive away any of the elderly people around us."
Steward Li sighed and thought to himself, a new emperor appoints new ministers.
If you tell the young master not to chase anyone away, he has to listen!
Li Jinyuan seemed not to hear Butler Li's sigh. He looked at Butler Li and discussed with him seriously, "Old man, how much silver do you think our hot pot shop can sell for?"
Butler Li tried to slap him, but Li Jinyuan shook his head and said, "At this price, I'm afraid we can't sell so many!"
"That's it, we can't negotiate any less."
Butler Li held up three fingers, and Li Jinyuan nodded with satisfaction, "That's what I meant.
I just don’t know if we can come to an agreement.”
"As long as the master wants to sell, the deal can be done."
After hearing what Butler Li said, Li Jinyuan regained his health and was filled with energy. "Then I'll borrow your good words. If there's nothing else, you can go back first!"
Butler Li obediently left Li Jinyuan's courtyard. Before he could even stand outside, he heard someone calling him from behind, "Butler Li, please stay."
"Master, I'll just wait. Please watch your step!"
"Uncle Li, I'm fine now.
Where are you going?
Butler Li told the truth.
Li Qi pointed to Li Jinyuan's yard and asked, "How is my father feeling today?"
"Very good!"
Only then did Li Qi dare to walk in.
After entering, he politely bowed to Li Jinyuan and asked directly, "Dad, I heard they said you want to sell all the shops I run?"
"Um."
Li Qi originally thought they were talking nonsense, but after hearing what Li Jinyuan said, he was so scared that he took two steps back.
"Dad, if you sell the shop, what should I do?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you this?"
"Dad, are you being unreasonable? Aren't you pushing your son into a dead end?
My son relies on these shops to make a living. If you sell them all, he will have nothing to do."
After hearing what Li Qi said, Li Jinyuan was so angry that the tendons in his head were throbbing, "You evil creature.
Do you know how much money you spend every day just to pass the time?"
"Dad, why am I calculating all this? Didn't you and mom tell me that the Li family would be mine sooner or later?"
Li Jinyuan suppressed his anger and said, "Then let me ask you, have you ever thought about what to do after you lose all your money?"
“Dad, am I free to think about these things?
Let’s drink while we can, why should I think so much?
That is you and my mother, preaching to me every day.
Look at my brothers, they are all as happy as gods every day, and their parents don’t nag them every day.
"You're really going to piss me off to death!"
"Dad, I don't understand where all this anger comes from.
I just had some fun with my brothers outside and spent a few of your coins.
Oh, no, it was my money I spent, I just spent it earlier."
Li Jinyuan looked around and saw a feather duster next to the vase on the table. He picked it up and waved it towards Li Qi.
Li Qi was beaten so hard that he cried out, "Dad, can you please speak properly? I am not here to quarrel with you.
My son wants to tell you that the barbecue restaurant in Zhang Juexia’s hotpot shop is very popular recently, isn’t it?
My son wants to give it a try too. Maybe this will help our shop’s business pick up.”
Li Jinyuan stopped what he was doing and motioned Li Qi to continue.
"Dad, the thing is, we don't have the seasoning they use.
I just want to ask you, since you are knowledgeable, whether you can find it.
If we find it, our family will be rich this year."
Li Jinyuan waved the feather duster in his hand, scaring Li Qi so much that he quickly hugged his head.
"Dad, if you don't have the ability and can't find the seasoning, forget it.
Anyway, you are planning to sell the shop."
After saying this, Li Qi was about to run away.
"Stop, since you are here, I have something to tell you.
Don’t think about the shop anymore.
I will try to sell whatever I can.
From now on, don’t get involved in the family business.
You should stay at home and be an idle young master. When your mother arranges a marriage for you, you can get married and have children."
