An unintentional act can lead to unexpected success.
It turned out to be a good thing.
Once the matter was cleared up, Jiang Shuwan didn't linger and went straight back to her residence.
The day before the Lunar New Year, Brother Nai and the two shopkeepers came again.
When it was time to settle accounts at the end of the year, they brought account books and some New Year's gifts.
Holding the ledger, Jiang Shuwan finished reading it in half an hour.
Because whether it was the estate or the shops in Brother Nai's hands, or the shops in the hands of the two managers, she had only been in charge for a little over a month.
The accounts for more than a month were very simple, and the ledgers were thin, but the amount of profit was quite considerable.
In particular, the charcoal business run by the two shopkeepers and the three shops run by Brother Nai were all making a fortune every day.
It made Jiang Shuwan's waist bag several sizes bigger.
In addition, Jiang Shuwan had previously spent all her cash flow of five thousand taels of silver and borrowed three thousand taels from Sun Wanwan's family.
A total of eight thousand taels were used to buy three houses and two shops in the West Market.
Thanks to the popularity of the milk tea and barbecue street, as well as the boost from the lantern festival, the property prices in these five locations are changing daily.
Taking advantage of the good price, Jiang Shuwan resold it, turning eight thousand into sixteen thousand.
They've made a killing!
This is what exorbitant profits look like!
However, after she put the accounts together like this, Brother Nai and the two shopkeepers were completely driven to despair!
Milk Bro: No wonder the ladies wanted to create a whole street of milk tea shops; it turns out real estate is such a lucrative business.
What a milk tea shop that makes a fortune every day is nothing compared to real estate!
The two shopkeepers were especially distressed.
They made a profit of a thousand taels of silver a month from their shops on Zhuque Street, which adds up to ten thousand taels a year.
With such profits, who wouldn't say they're amazing?
Jiang Shuwan acquired several properties and earned eight thousand taels of silver in just a few days, which was almost as much as their shop's annual profit!
When it comes to making money in business, they're not even worthy of carrying Jiang Shuwan's shoes.
They even tried to manipulate Jiang Shuwan before.
How shameful!
That's so embarrassing!
Happy to have made money, and with the New Year approaching, Jiang Shuwan generously gave thick red envelopes to the two shopkeepers, Milk Brother, and their waiters.
They ordered another table of fine food and told them to finish eating before leaving.
"Thank you, young mistress."
"Thank you, Madam Gene."
The two shopkeepers were extremely grateful and waited until the next day after they left.
That is, Lunar New Year's Eve.
The servants got up early in the morning to put up couplets and cut paper-cuts for the windows.
Jiang Shuwan also got up early to dress up and went to pay her respects to Madam Pei.
Afterwards, they went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors together with Madam Pei.
The Earl's family also came.
