Chapter Nine, What Do You Want to Do?
The renegade.
Of course, that's a question that needs to be asked. If we're going to arrange a marriage, I'll take care of the expenses and figure out a way. If we're not going to arrange a marriage, then forget it. I don't think it's something a young girl like you can handle. Let your parents take care of it," Wei Hao said with a smile, waving his hand.
Who doesn't know how to brag? With 40,000 guan in hand, can you earn it back in a year? Are you here to treat me? Li Li looked at Wei Hao incredulously, completely disbelieving.
It's just to mess with me, joking around, trying to amuse themselves at my expense. Understand?
Give me 1000 guan of money, let's collaborate. I will only provide the technology, and you provide the venue. The venue should be large, located by the river, and occupy at least 100 mu. Can you provide it?
"So little money? Go and inquire, which noble family can come up with so much cash? Forty thousand guan is not four thousand guan, or even, four thousand guan in cash, no one can come up with it." Li Li disdainfully said to Wei Hao, realizing that this person was quite ignorant, but considering that Wei Hao came from the West City, it's understandable not to know."
Do you feel worried about it? After all, your family is also a duke. Why worry about such a small amount of money?
Why do you say that? Li Li still looked at Wei Hao in confusion, she really didn't mean that.
When it comes to making money, Wei Hao still has some confidence.
Li Li doesn't know why he is so proud, there is nothing to be proud of in such a matter.
At this moment, in Wei Hao's home, Wei Furong was eating the food prepared at home, but it was also hard to swallow. Until now, they have not found a suitable cook.
Upon hearing her say this, Wei Hao immediately stood up and prepared to leave. Not trusting him like this is too damaging to his self-esteem.
Forget it, I won't talk to you, this girl. The day I earn forty thousand guan in money, I will go to propose to your father. I don't believe that I can't win him over with money. Weihao stood up with a smile and said, the conversation is over anyway, and Weihao won't let go of this restaurant.
Get out, don't want to see you. Li Lizi smiled and said to Wei Hao, feeling very happy in her heart. She still believed that she was the most beautiful. Soon, Wei Hao left. When the food was ready, Li Lizi started eating.
"What a brainless person," Wei Hao said contemptuously.
Nonsense, this restaurant is where I come to pick up girls. My dad said he wants me to have a son to form a polo team. My family has been single-handed for five generations, and my dad hopes I can marry several wives and have more sons. Can I give it to you? Wei Hao said proudly to Li Li Zhi.
Hey, wait, what you're saying is just... too unbelievable. At this moment, Li Li completely doesn't believe Wei Hao's words, but she doesn't want to miss this opportunity, of course she hopes for the opportunity to cooperate with the restaurant.
Such matters cannot be entrusted to other concubines. Although they can be assigned to royal personnel, it still requires reliable individuals. However, there are no suitable candidates within the royal family for commercial matters, which is causing Li Li to be very worried.
Did you mean it? Li Li was skeptical and didn't believe it at all.
Just like you, bring a hundred, no pressure. Wei Hao said indifferently.
Cheng, but now you need to protect this restaurant. If it gets ruined, don't blame me. Wei Hao said with a smile to Li Li Zhi.
Do not believe? If you don't believe, then forget it. What does earning money count for? Look at my restaurant. I invested more than 500 guan in it. In a few days, I will have made back my investment. Investing so much money in a restaurant, the profit is 30 times a year. Can you do that? You have to admit my ability to make money." Wei Hao continued to boast, of course, this is not entirely boasting, it is also a fact.
Hmph! Li Li snorted coldly. Although she admitted in her heart that what Wei Hao said was true, she just couldn't stand his smug face.
"Unscrupulous merchant!" Li Li just realized at this moment, staring at Wei Hao and said, then after a moment of thought, asked, "Why didn't you let me join this restaurant?"
What's the point of having only 40,000 guan? 400,000 guan is not a problem. Unfortunately, I don't have a good father. If my father were a duke, I would definitely dare to make money like this. But my father is just an ordinary person, of course, better than an ordinary person. He still has some money, so if I earn so much money, I won't be able to keep it.Wei Hao sat there, pretending to be sad.
I... My father... My father is not at home, my mother is here, um... She is sick, and my brother is just a spoiled child. We still need a lot of money at home. If we can't get this money, then my parents will be in a difficult situation.
Upon hearing Li Li's mention of 40,000 guan of money, Wei Haoyi immediately thought that the other party was there to settle accounts with him.
Simpleton, I'm serious! Li Li said anxiously, considering whether to reveal her identity now.
Not eating anymore, this little rabbit has made me go hungry for a whole month. Look, I've even lost weight! Let's go to the restaurant and see what this kid is so busy with. I never see him around all day. Wei Furong patted his stomach, threw away the chopsticks, and angrily walked out with his hands behind his back, wanting to find Wei Hao.
I said the deficit is for the whole year, although there is still a big gap, but we need to slowly fill it, right? If we do nothing, won't the gap become even bigger? Besides, I don't expect this one store of yours to make up for these deficits," Li Li said to Wei Hao with a somewhat low mood, thinking about the lack of so much money and not knowing what to do.
Who do you say has no brain? I think you're bored with life. Li Lizi heard Wei Hao say this, and became furious, raising her fist to threaten Wei Hao.
You are short of 40,000 guan in your family, and you come to my small shop. The maximum profit of my small shop in a year is only 15,000 guan. How much more do you need? The key is that you have such a large shortage now. What's the use of finding a small shop like mine? How could my small shop come up with so much money all at once? Wei Hao looked at Li Li and felt that she was just here to make herself happy.
Oh, what should we do in the future when we go to other restaurants and the food is not as delicious as this? Li Li sighed.
Of course they can't, they don't have the guts to steal from me," said Li Li confidently. She still had some confidence in herself.
Li Li nodded when she heard it, and agreed.
"Why are you asking about this?" Li Li stared at Wei Hao and asked.
"No, how come a girl like you is in charge of your family's money? What about your brothers, parents? Aren't they worried about this?" Wei Hao impatiently questioned Li Li.
Humph, 1000 guan for 1000 guan, but let's make it clear, if I can't earn that much money, then I want half of this restaurant's shares," Li Lixian warned Wei Hao.
Yes, Your Highness, how can we even stomach the food from these other restaurants?
Although this matter is not her own, but the Queen's, as the eldest daughter, she still wants to share some of the burden for her mother, especially at this time when the Queen is still in confinement and has no intention of managing these matters. Even if she were not in confinement, the Queen could not personally come forward to manage them, and still needs her help.
What does "调理是何意?" mean? Li Li didn't understand the meaning of Wei Hao's words, so she asked him directly.
Can buying this restaurant make up for the shortfall in your family? Now I will use that 1000 guan money to let you earn 40,000 guan money before this winter. Of course, I also want to earn 40,000 guan money, and I also want to have a 50% stake!
Just in terms of business, if there are government officials or powerful individuals, for example, if a duke comes to snatch our business, can you handle him? Wei Hao touched his forehead and explained with a helpless expression.
What does "Ping Shi Shi He Yi?" Li Li looked at Wei Hao, not understanding.
Sigh! Wei Hao looked at Li Li with frustration, reluctantly walked back, and sat down, saying, "You just said you have 1000 guan of money. Besides, in the capital, can you handle things smoothly?"
Li Li heard it, pursed her lips, and didn't believe it at all. She found that Wei Hao was not only simple-minded but also liked to brag.
I'm telling you, what are you afraid of? Just tell me, is this restaurant worth 1000 guan or not? You've already investigated my background so thoroughly, but what about you? You're still the daughter of a duke. Do you think I have nothing better to do than to deceive you? I'm not that stupid!
What can I do, but what do you want? I want to buy shares of your restaurant with 1000 guan money," Li Li looked at Wei Hao in confusion and asked.
The servant on the side smiled awkwardly and politely, "Yes, indeed. In the past, I was as fat as a pig, but now I'm so thin that I don't even resemble a pig anymore!"
Wait, sit down. I haven't finished yet. I want half of the shares of this restaurant. I'll give you 1000 guan now. Also, as long as I invest, you can handle any trouble however you want. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility! Li Lizhi stood up and called out to Wei Hao, who was about to leave.
Oh, if you didn't manage to get so much money, how would your family punish you? Would they marry you off?
You can just forget about it. You're boasting so much, but when I was boasting, you didn't even know where you were.
Wei Hao saw her sitting there with a frown, so he leaned over to take a look. Li Li noticed a big face appearing in front of her and immediately looked at Wei Hao warily, asking, "What do you want?"
Alright, are you eating? I'll go downstairs and take a look. Let me tell you, these past few days, I've found quite a few pretty girls. However, none of them are as good-looking as you, but they're still okay. Once you've made up your mind, bring the money over and we'll collaborate. Wei Hao said with a smile to Li Li Zhi.
