Chapter 1173 Ranran is really a money-making expert!

Butler Li's small eyes, squeezed into slits by his fat, darted around a few times before he leaned closer, lowered his voice, and smiled ingratiatingly:

“Princess, what kind of discount would you like? To be honest, I am completely loyal to the Weng family, but my matriarch wants to get rid of these two shops as soon as possible, so I can give you a discount.”

Qiao Ran scoffed, not exposing his hypocrisy:

“Give me a 20% discount, and then deduct another 10% for yourself. I don’t think your old lady will know, right? After all, I’m the only one who can take over your shop now.”

"Your Weng family is practically starving now, isn't it? Who told your ladies and young misses to be so used to a life of luxury, unwilling to eat simple meals even now? If we don't sell the shops, what will they eat?"

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle.

When Mo Beihan was looking for a shop for Qiao Ran, he had already ordered people to investigate the seller's background.

The reason why the Weng family sold off their land and shops so quickly was because the masters couldn't see reality.

The men have all been imprisoned, and most of their property has been confiscated. Yet they are still unwilling to relinquish their status as ladies of a "marquis's mansion" and continue to live a life of luxury similar to the past. How long can the remaining property last?

But this is good, it just gives Qiao Ran a chance to get something for nothing.

It's not that others can't afford it, but those with money and power dare not buy it for fear of exposing their family wealth and arousing suspicion. Those with money but no power dare not buy it even more for fear that the Weng family will regret it or retaliate later.

Only someone like Qiao Ran wouldn't be afraid of flaunting her wealth, nor would she be afraid of the Weng family's trickery or retaliation.

Butler Li's small eyes darted around for a long time before he finally gritted his teeth:

"Deal! I will tell the old lady that no one is buying the shop, and the longer it drags on, the less popular it will become, and the lower the price will be. The princess's willingness to buy it is also helping the Weng family. However, I will tell the old lady that the princess asked for a 30% discount."

Qiao Ran nodded indifferently.

As long as it saves money, she doesn't mind taking the blame, since the Weng family can't do anything to her anyway.

The price was quickly agreed upon, and the next day, Steward Li, beaming, took the property deed and went with Qiao Ran to the government office to complete the transfer of ownership.

Qiao Ran offered a 20% discount, priced at 26,000 taels, and the two shops were hers.

"Ranran, only you could be so quick to spend so much money to buy these two shops."

Looking at her joyful smile, Mo Beihan couldn't help but smile too.

Qiao Ran proudly tossed her head back:

"Of course! Tens of thousands of taels of silver is no small sum; it's more than a third-rank official's salary for ten years. But I'm not worried; I'll earn it back soon enough!"

Mo Beihan nodded silently in agreement.

If Ranran says she can earn it, then she definitely can!

Given the current daily profits of Shenxiangu Supermarket, this less than 30,000 taels of silver can be recouped in less than half a year.

Moreover, if Ranran were to take the items from her spatial storage and sell them, she wouldn't need any initial investment; she could make as much profit as she sold.

Based on the grand opening of Shenxiangu Supermarket, it's likely that they can earn back the money within the first month of opening.

Ranran is really good at making money!

The shop has been purchased; the next step is renovation.

Of the two shops, she only plans to open one, a women's supermarket.

Qiao Ran still intends to use the original cloth shop as a cloth shop.

Because fabric takes up too much space, the variety of fabrics displayed in Shenxiangu Supermarket is a bit limited. It would be better to just open a fabric shop and sell all the fabrics from the workshops here.
