Guan Zhiyue couldn't take her eyes off this beast. She quickly shook off the thoughts in her mind. What was all this nonsense?!
"Alright, stop joking around. I've got a great business idea for you. Would you like to partner with me?"
Lan Shanqi looked at Guan Zhiyue and said, "I would like to hear the details!"
"Do you know who's the easiest to make money from in this world?" Guan Zhiyue asked bluntly.
Lan Shanqi said, "Woman."
"Hmm! As expected of a businessman!"
"And then? Do you want to make rouge and face powder? Or exquisite silk?" Lan Shanqi looked like he was listening attentively. If you gave him a large chair, he could even put his feet up and look smug.
Guan Zhiyue looked at him and said, "What are you thinking about? All those things you're thinking about are gone. Let me tell you something you've never heard of before."
Upon hearing this, Lan Shanqi was instantly shocked, and his phoenix eyes immediately sparkled like twinkling starlight.
"What good ideas does Xiaoyue have?"
Guan Zhiyue said with a smile, "Of course it's a beauty salon."
"What is a beauty salon? And what is it used for?"
"And can this really make money?"
Guan Zhiyue heard Lan Shanqi's babbling and immediately raised her hand to shut up, saying, "Let me tell you the whole story."
In fact, the beauty salon that Guan Zhiyue wanted to open was the one that exists now. Although she didn't know how to combine various medicinal herbs, she knew about all kinds of natural products, such as pearl powder, which was a beauty product from ancient times.
"That's great, great! I never imagined Yue'er would have such good fortune!" Lan Shanqi's eyes shone even brighter after hearing what Guan Zhiyue said.
"I'll try to figure out how to deal with the pearl powder you mentioned," Lan Shanqi said.
Guan Zhiyue smiled and said, "We can collect and search for it in the early stages, but this is something we need in the long term. If we rely on external purchases for a long time, it will definitely attract a lot of people to try and take advantage of it."
Lan Shanqi understood this principle, but pearls are found in the deep sea, and they cannot be collected without being near the sea. Although this is a high-income industry, the labor costs are also considerable.
"Then Yue'er, what do you think is a way to solve this problem?"
Guan Zhiyue thought for a moment and said, "Artificial breeding!"
"Artificial breeding? Are you sure?"
“Yes, definitely. This will increase our income, but the cycle is quite long, probably two to three years to form. During these three years, we will need to rely on external procurement. However, I think we should not implement this business for now,” Guan Zhiyue said after thinking for a moment.
Lan Shanqi replied, "Why? I believe that if this business is launched, it will cause a huge uproar in the capital, and we will definitely make a fortune."
Guan Zhiyue thought for a moment and said, "If Young Master Lan can find a large number of pearls, then this business is certainly possible. However, considering the amount of pearls accumulated over the past three years, it must be quite substantial."
"Young Master Lan, are you sure you can support it? I don't want to open the beauty salon and then have to close it down because we don't have enough pearls."
After listening to Guan Zhiyue's words, Lan Shanqi thought about it seriously and said, "Then tell me, approximately how many pearls do you need in three years?"
Guan Zhiyue thought for a moment and said, "Surely we should have at least ten million catties."
"so much?"
"Yes! So, is Young Master Lan sure he can collect this many?"
Lan Shanqi frowned slightly, looking somewhat frustrated, and said, "No."
"Then what about artificial breeding, Yue'er?" Lan Shanqi asked.
"That means finding a farm and raising river mussels yourself."
Lan Shanqi was shocked again. They had all eaten river clams before, so how could there be pearls?
"A freshwater clam, are you sure that thing can produce pearls? Pearls only exist in the deep sea, how come freshwater clams have them?"
“Yes, freshwater clams can produce pearls. The deep-sea pearls you mentioned are usually naturally formed, but the pearls I’m talking about are artificially cultivated, so the yield is very high. However, the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed. But it’s more than enough to make pearl powder. Are you sure you want to start this beauty salon with me?” Guan Zhiyue told Lan Shanqi what she knew.
Lan Shanqi said firmly, "Okay, then let's do as you say!"
"Besides this beauty salon, what else do you want to collaborate with me on? This business can only be done three years from now."
Guan Zhiyue turned her head to look at Lan Shanqi and said, "Aren't you going to cooperate with me in artificially cultivating freshwater mussels?"
Lan Shanqi: "..."
Are there any rules for raising freshwater mussels?
"What else did you think? But you're right, this clam business requires initial investment, and then it takes three years to make money. So this is the first step in our cooperation. The second step would be to open a restaurant."
"A restaurant? How do you plan to open one?" Lan Shanqi asked Guan Zhiyue.
"You know this hot pot restaurant in Beijing now, right? I opened it with Xiaoyao Wang. What do you think?" Guan Zhiyue looked at Lan Shanqi and shared her first hot pot business.
"You two own this shop? The sound of your voices is absolutely amazing! I heard it was owned by that good-for-nothing prince, but I never imagined you were involved!" Lan Shanqi was full of admiration when talking about this hot pot restaurant; the business was simply too good!
He has received a lot of news since the beginning. Although he has not yet come to the capital to eat, he has heard that the place is full of distinguished guests every day, so the money must be considerable.
"You foolish prince, that's rather impolite of you. Qi Shang is such a cute and adorable young man, how could you call him a fool?" Guan Zhiyue was a little displeased. Although Li Qi Shang could be a bit silly at times, he was actually quite smart. Calling him a fool just didn't sit well with her.
"What's wrong, Yue'er? You seem quite concerned about that Prince Xiaoyao. Could it be that Your Majesty is about to have an affair?"
Guan Zhiyue said, "Stand up for me, my foot!"
Lan Shanqi asked, "Big head or small head?"
"roll."
Guan Zhiyue looked at Lan Shanqi warily. This guy really dared to say anything. He was truly a refined scoundrel.
"Alright! So, Yue'er, what kind of restaurant do you want to collaborate with me on?"
Guan Zhiyue rolled her eyes at him. "Buffet."
"Oh, what is a buffet? This sounds very novel. Yue'er seems to have a lot more strange ideas in her mind these past few years, many of which I have never heard of. Could it be that her mind has become more enlightened after getting married? Or did Brother Li open up her Ren and Du meridians?" Lan Shanqi looked at Guan Zhiyue suspiciously.
Guan Zhiyue: "..."
"Are you a devil? Nothing you say sounds pleasant."
Lan Shanqi touched her nose slowly, without replying.
