The key point is that these huge profits were made from a mere snack business...
Is this business really that profitable?
Jiang Shuwan noticed the suspicion in Old Madam Pei's eyes.
He quickly brought the accounts of the three shops in the West Market to Madam Pei for review.
It's no wonder the old lady didn't believe her.
Back in modern times, information didn't circulate much, and there were no TikToks or Weibo.
Many people feel pity for the elderly women and men pushing their food stalls and working hard under the sun, thinking that they are suffering too much.
It wasn't until information became readily available that we realized how much money they made.
Putting aside other things, back when she was in elementary school...
The owners of several food stalls near the entrance have bought two houses in the city by selling unassuming snacks such as fried potatoes, grilled noodles, and cold noodles.
Small business, big profits.
Not to mention the incredibly high profits from milk tea and barbecue skewers.
The Marquis's residence deals in large-scale businesses, including sugar, tea, fabrics, and jewelry.
Businesses related to food include restaurants and teahouses.
They made a good living.
However, these businesses require huge investments.
In Madam Pei's eyes, whether it was Jiang Shuwan's three shops in the West Market or the fifteen small shops she had just bought that were too big for anyone to run.
Doing business with that would be absolutely out of the question.
The location is bad, the foot traffic is bad, and the shop is too small.
Even the Wen family thought the same way, which is why they gave the West Market shop to Jiang Shuwan as a betrothal gift.
If these shops could also make a lot of money, why would the Wen family let Jiang Shuwan have it so easily?
only.
Upon seeing the accounts of the three shops, Madam Pei realized she had been mistaken.
Those small shops and businesses that she looked down upon could actually generate huge profits.
Furthermore, Jiang Shuwan also conducted a survey on the customer demographics and spending power.
The capital city was the most prosperous political and economic center of the entire Great Jing Dynasty.
The purchasing power of each of the four cities in the east, west, south, and north is enough to support a whole food street.
Those scattered businessmen who followed her example and opened milk tea shops and barbecue skewer shops were also able to make some money.
However, she is absolutely incomparable to him.
No wonder Jiang Shuwan wanted to open stores on three streets at the same time.
Even she was envious when she saw the account books.
"Wan, this is truly an eye-opener."
Madam Pei was so excited that she immediately had Chang Mama give Jiang Shuwan 100,000 taels of silver.
No wonder Jiang Shuwan didn't pay much attention to the shopkeepers in the mansion.
It turns out she was secretly planning to make a lot of money.
only.
The affairs of the manor cannot be neglected.
Jiang Shuwan runs her own business on the three streets.
To gain control of the household, one must improve the business of the mansion; only then can one gain the respect of the people.
"Don't worry, Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law already has plans."
Madam Pei directly lent 100,000 taels of silver, which delighted Jiang Shuwan.
To put her mind at ease, Jiang Shuwan also revealed some information about the business in the manor.
"Grandma, there are quite a few milk tea shops on these three streets."
"The most common ingredients for making milk tea are sugar and tea. Among the shops in the mansion, the sugar and tea business is the most unstable, with a lot piling up in the warehouse and little being sold."
"Don't be fooled by the arrogance of those sugar tea shop owners; they'll all be begging me for help in the future."
The sugar and tea used in the four streets today are all from their previous stock.
Once the inventory is depleted, we will make a bulk purchase.
At that time, all these shopkeepers will have to call her "Dad".
"That's good, that's good."
Madam Pei nodded, praising Jiang Shuwan for managing her own secret stash of money while not forgetting the affairs of the household.
The mistress of a household.
It's certainly good to have the ability.
She would never want to see someone focus all their energy on their own affairs and neglect the affairs of the household.
She is not worthy of the position of mistress of a household.
"Grandma, please rest well. Your granddaughter-in-law will take her leave now."
I even got a free meal.
Having borrowed the money, Jiang Shuwan returned to her own courtyard.
"Miss."
Brother Nai was already awake. He came out to greet them with a happy expression.
It's obvious they already know Jiang Shuwan's purpose in lowering the land prices of the three streets.
Good heavens.
He originally thought that the 8,000 taels profit from the resale of the land in the West Market was just an occasional stroke of genius by Jiang Shuwan.
Cannot be copied.
I never expected to have such an opportunity again.
Let's do it on all three streets at once.
Wouldn't they make a fortune?
Why.
Why didn't he think of that?
No wonder Jiang Shuwan agreed to the West Market merchants' request to do business with them.
After all, it would be difficult for her to raise the land prices of an entire street by working alone.
As expected of a young lady.
When they make a move, it's a grand spectacle.
However, she had refused before.
She knew perfectly well that she could make a lot of money, but she still wanted to shirk her responsibilities.
Fortunately, the manor allocated the money to his young lady, but those shopkeepers gave her the cold shoulder.
Otherwise, if they had obediently listened to their young lady, there wouldn't have been any issues with the sale of three streets and land prices.
Brother Nai silently gave those shopkeepers a thumbs up in his heart.
He used to hate these shopkeepers.
She secretly resented these people for taking advantage of Jiang Shuwan's young age and status as a new bride, putting on airs and giving her attitude.
He's grown fond of these shopkeepers now.
I wish I could send them a flower basket.
He had secretly investigated and found that among these shopkeepers were some of Wen's dowry maids.
Not only did he ignore Jiang Shuwan's orders, he also incited the other managers.
Thanks to the opposing team's terrible teammates.
grateful!
Thank you so much!
"Brother Nai, come here."
Jiang Shuwan called over Brother Nai.
"Brother Nai, I'm entrusting the matter of buying houses and shops on these three streets to you."
