There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 332 (Three more)
"I invite a friend here for a drink at noon, so I won't accompany you for dinner. I will ask Chang Ping to bring food to your room." Second Young Master Tang said again.

"Understood." Logan responded.

Second Young Master Tang drank a cup of tea and went downstairs to order food in the inn.

Not long after, Li Jiaoniang came.

"Sister Tang." Li Jiaoniang smiled as soon as she walked into her room.

Logan was startled, "What?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Did I call it wrong? How old are you older than me? I don't call you Sister Tang. What do you call me? Third Cousin? You are no longer from the Lu family."

Tang Wan couldn't help laughing, "I'm actually confused." She said astringently, "Yes, I am no longer from the Lu family. You are right to call me Sister Tang."

Bailing Baihe looked at each other, and didn't dare to call Li Jiaoniang Cousin Young Madam anymore. Li Jiaoniang is the wife of Lu You's cousin and has nothing to do with Tang Wan.

The two hesitated, not knowing how to address Li Jiaoniang.

Seeing their predicament, Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Just call me Mrs. Li, don't call Mrs. Biao, I'm not a cousin of the Tang family."

Her words were gentle, and the two maids were relieved as if they were burdened, and they smiled together and said, "Yes, Mrs. Li."

Lily quickly went to order some tea, while Bailing was busy bringing some desserts.

Tang Wan showed the contract of the shop to Li Jiaoniang, "Jiaoniang, come and take a look, is this place okay?"

Li Jiaoniang was also about to check the address of the shop, so she quickly opened it in her hand.

Seeing the address, her face suddenly changed.

I'll go, so cunning Tang!
What the hell kind of shop is this?Do you have business?

She sneered in her heart, no wonder Mrs. Lu said "no loss, no loss" when she heard about the shop.

This is said ironically!

It means that it is a big loss!

"What's the matter? Jiao Niang? Is this shop not good?" Tang Wan blinked and asked hurriedly.

She knew nothing about the good and the bad of the shop.

Seeing Li Jiaoniang frowned, Tang Wan hurriedly asked.

"These two shops..." Li Jiaoniang took a deep breath, "There is no business at present, because the business is poor, so the rent is not high. Especially the antique shop, there is almost no business. The tea shop has a year It’s a rent of 110 guan, and that antique shop only costs [-] guan a year.”

These two shops are open at the back of the hospital, by the river, and she even walked to them in her spare time.

She had bought things in both shops, and the shopkeepers of the two shops had vomited bitterness to her, and they both planned to move to other places to open shops as soon as the lease expired.

The two shopkeepers also said that the shopkeepers of these two places will be changed every one or two years.

The shop is sublet so frequently, how can there be any business at all?

The opposite side of the shop is not on the street, but on the river. There is almost no popularity, and the business is quite deserted.

Bai Lingqi said angrily, "What? The combined two shops only earn two hundred guan a year? Madam took the fourth girl's [-] guan, how long will it take to get it back?"

Lily rolled her eyes, "It's so simple, why don't you count it? It took 100 years to get it back! The income of 100 guan a year, exactly [-] guan in [-] years!"

"Treacherous, cunning!" Bai Ling cursed angrily, "Can we survive 100 years?"

Logan was also very angry, she never expected that Tang would plot against her like this!
She blinked her eyes and said, "If the rent is low, then this shop will be of no use to me. Can you go back and tell the Lu family to change two? Jiao Niang?"

Change?
How could it be possible for Logan to change?

Li Jiaoniang was speechless, maybe it was Tang's intention?
The Tang family is not a businessman either. No matter how shrewd the second brother of the Tang family is, he would never have guessed that there are high and low prices in shops.

It is the same shop with the same size, but because some shops in good locations have good business and high prices, and some shops in poor locations have poor business, no one rents them, so where is the price?
For example, her medical center is a shop in a good location.

If it hadn't been haunted by ghosts back then, as long as the shop had a sign for rent, you would have to rush to rent it.

Is it her turn to rent it back at half price?

She was close to the market, and there was a bustling street in front of her door. There was an alley next to the medical center, and there was a large residential area near the medical center. Any business would make money.

"Go back to the Lu family to change it now, I'm afraid we won't be able to change it." Li Jiaoniang sighed, "They will say that Second Brother Tang has already counted, and if they go back to bargain, the world will say that the Tang family is good at calculating and backtracking. You have a bad reputation, and the Tang family has a bad reputation. Arguing with them, the Tang family will not take it seriously."

"Then what should I do?" Tang Wan sighed, "I'm divorced, so you still want to plot against me? My [-] yuan has become a worthless shop!"

Li Jiaoniang thought for a while and said, "There are other ways to make the shop more valuable."

Logan's eyes brightened again, "Jiao Niang, tell me quickly, what can I do?"

Li Jiaoniang said, "Let the business of that shop improve. Of those two shops, one sells tea and the other sells antiques. This kind of business is not suitable for opening a shop in that place. Of course there is no business."

"..."

"You can ask them to do other businesses. If their business is good, the rent will go up. If they don't change their careers, we will take over and start the business ourselves!"

Tang Wan said, "I'm afraid I won't agree to ask the store owner to change his line of business. As the old saying goes, every line is like a mountain."

Li Jiaoniang said, "Then let's open our own shop. Anyway, the shop is our own, and we can earn as much as we earn. When we first started, let's find some businesses with less investment."

Bai Ling said, "Miss Li, what Mrs. Li said is right. Anyway, the shop does not require rent, and it is our own. Even if the two shops earn the same amount of money a day, if the two are combined, the monthly income is 210. It’s seven hundred guan, which is much more cost-effective than collecting the rent of the shop, the rent of the two shops adds up to only [-] guan a year.”

"But..." Tang Wan thought of a problem, and said with a frown, "I don't know how to do business, so I can't sit in a shop and look after the shop."

Lily said, "Miss Si, I can watch the shop."

Bai Ling also said, "I can do it too."

Logan looked at them, shook her head and said, "One of you looks at a shop, isn't there no one around me?"

Bailing Baihe: "..." The two of them suddenly became depressed again, "Then what should we do?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, you can hire someone to watch the shop. It doesn't cost much to hire someone. If you hire a shopkeeper, you will pay ten dollars a month. If you hire a clerk, you only need to pay two dollars a month." Money will do."

Logan blinked, "Help someone?"

Bailing Baihe also looked at Li Jiaoniang.

Li Jiaoniang said, "It costs only 120 guan a year to hire the shopkeeper, and even less to hire a waiter. And those two shops, if they only make [-] guan a day, excluding expenses, they can earn three to four hundred guan a year. After all, it’s better than just collecting rent.”

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Fourth Miss, what Li Niangzi said is quite right, we can hire someone else."

After discussing, Tang Wan found that doing business by herself was far better than just collecting rent.

The Lu family is a scholarly family, after the officials.

They would rather be poor and desperate for face, relying on the little family property of their ancestors, and living on the dowry they cheated their daughter-in-law, rather than doing business to enrich their family property.

This is really, to save face and suffer.

"But, what kind of business is good?" Lily blinked and asked.

Speaking of coming up on time.

Tang Wan and her two maids looked at Li Jiaoniang together.

Li Jiaoniang also looked at them, "In business, you have to do what you know, otherwise, those who don't know anything will be deceived."

Bailing thought of her own embroidery. She remembered that there were many embroidery workshops on the street.

"How about the embroidery workshop? All three of us master and servant know how to embroider." Bai Ling asked.

Logan and Lily nodded together in agreement.

"This is okay, is there any more?" Li Jiaoniang asked them again.

"I can draw, how about selling calligraphy and painting?" Tang Wan said.

To sell calligraphy and paintings, this has to be calligraphy and paintings of famous artists. For unknown ones, a painting costs twenty yuan, at most a hundred yuan, and I don’t know if anyone comes to buy it for a day.Li Jiaoniang ruled it out in her heart.

But she didn't hit Logan either, she nodded and said, "Well, this is an idea, what else?"

"Weaving tassels, stringing pearls, and making jewelry. I learned some from my father when I was young. When he was ten years old, he passed away, so I didn't return it. But until now, I still remember that I occasionally made accessories for the fourth girl. " said Lily.

Tang Wan touched a golden hairpin on her head, and said with a smile, "It's true, this butterfly hairpin was made by Lily last year."

Li Jiaoniang looked at her head, it was such a delicate hairpin, "It looks good, Lily's hands are so clever."

Lily became happy, "It should be good to open a jewelry store."

The three of you spoke with each other, and Li Jiaoniang didn't object, they all agreed.

Tang Wan said, "Jiaoniang, we talked about seven or eight kinds of business, and you agreed on all of them, so which one should we do?"

"That's right, there are only two shops, so we can't do both?" Bai Ling also asked.

Li Jiaoniang said, "Of course we can't do all of them. We have to pick two that make money. The ones that are not too difficult are the ones that are popular."

Lily said, "Everyone seems to be welcome."

Li Jiaoniang said, "We still have to consider the cost, earning less, but the cost is too high, what if we lose money?"

"Then...then choose two?" Bai Ling asked with a frown.

Li Jiaoniang said, "You first write down your own ideas. Of course, if you think of other ideas, write them down and discuss the difficulty. Let's choose the two best ones, the ones that cost less and make more money."
