Dragon's Origin

Chapter 282: Why Don't You Just Rob Someone (Part 2)

Mei'er seemed very happy when she returned to the Marquis's residence, but there were too many people around, so Mei'er didn't say anything. It wasn't until she returned to the back hall that Mei'er told Wang Sheng about her gains today.

"The neighbor, Madam Su, has already agreed to start that beauty salon you mentioned with me." Mei'er was most excited about this: "She plans to take out several treasured formulas for preserving youth and beauty, and then be responsible for finding a batch of high-quality maids to handle this matter together."

"Then what are you responsible for?" Wang Sheng didn't intend to dampen Mei'er's enthusiasm, and asked cooperatively.

"I'm responsible for finding a suitable place, and then doing all the preliminary preparations." Mei'er said happily, this was something she liked to do, so her initiative was naturally different: "Also, see if there are any similar types of formulas among the ones taken from that underground palace, and take them out as well."

"Okay!" Wang Sheng agreed readily to a few formulas. They weren't pills for rejuvenation or immortality. The most precious ones were the life-saving pills, not these. Not all alchemists were women who refined pills for women.

Wang Sheng knew that the current emperor's surname was Su, the royal family was the Su family! But he didn't expect that the other party would actually report the Su surname. He originally thought that the other party would just report any surname, but he didn't expect that they would actually report the imperial surname.

Listening to Mei'er chattering to Wang Sheng about her and Madam Su's plans, what kind of place they planned to find, how to decorate it, how to proceed, how to only open it to female guests, and what service items there would be, she spoke excitedly about everything.

Wang Sheng patiently listened to her, he could see Mei'er's excitement. That kind of excitement was not just about doing something she liked, but also about having a close friend who could understand her, who could work with her with the same interests, and who they could talk about anything with.

Thinking of that young, beautiful, intelligent, quiet woman who could speak with her eyes, Wang Sheng felt that the current emperor was really an animal. An old cow eating young grass, he could actually bring himself to do it, what a beast!

It wasn't until Mei'er finished speaking about her ideas that she looked at Wang Sheng hopefully and asked, "What do you think?"

"What I think is not important." Wang Sheng smiled and said, "You are also a woman. If you encounter a store opened by yourself, would you be willing to go in, would you be willing to stay there for a long time? Ask yourself. If you are willing, then it means it's okay. If you are not willing, then you may have to rethink it."

Mei'er nodded, agreeing with Wang Sheng's statement, and said very definitely: "Not only me, Madam Su is also very willing, so, as long as this is done, it will definitely be a hit."

"Then, how many gold coins do you plan to use in the early stage to prepare?" Wang Sheng finally asked a key question. Doing business always requires capital, right?

"We plan to each contribute 500,000 gold coins." Speaking of this question, Mei'er's confidence was not so strong, she secretly looked at Wang Sheng, and asked cautiously: "Is it okay?"

"Five hundred thousand?" Wang Sheng exclaimed in surprise.

"Is it too much?" Mei'er didn't have much wealth herself now, everything depended on Wang Sheng's expression. Hearing Wang Sheng's surprised voice, Mei'er felt her heart sink: "Or, 300,000?"

This time Wang Sheng directly put his hand on his forehead. This woman was not bold when she should be bold, but was extremely bold when she shouldn't be. At this time, doing business with the Empress with such small capital was really looked down upon.

"How many gold coins are there in the mansion in total?" Wang Sheng didn't directly answer Mei'er's probing question, but asked for a number.

Speaking of which, after Wang Sheng returned to the Marquis's residence, he hadn't asked how much his family had. Now Wang Sheng himself was also curious about how much wealth he had.

"The available cash is more than four million gold coins." Mei'er quickly reported: "This does not include the two million gold coins already given to Linglong Pavilion. In addition, the family property confiscated from the Seventh Prince and the four families, calculated according to the value of gold coins, is about 20 million gold coins." After thinking about it, Mei'er added another sentence: "Not including the Marquis's residence."

"If Qianshengyuan opens according to the current plan, how many gold coins will it need to support it in a year?" Wang Sheng asked again.

Although she hadn't done much specific business, business was business, it definitely needed working capital. If the cash flow was cut off, it would be a very troublesome thing for those modern enterprises on Earth. It was impossible for the business world of the Yuanhun world to be an exception, so some preparations had to be made.

"It probably needs about one million." Mei'er had been planning with Uncle Liu and the others for many days for Qianshengyuan, waiting only for the opening. These numbers had already been engraved in her mind, and she spoke them out without thinking.

"Okay, keep some change from the remaining gold coins for the Marquis's residence to spend, and invest all the rest in your beauty salon first." Wang Sheng said very seriously: "I said long ago that the family property confiscated from those homes will be your capital for doing business in the future. When those family properties are slowly exchanged for gold coins, half will go to Qianshengyuan, and half will go to your side."

"Half?" Mei'er directly widened her beautiful eyes. According to their calculations these days, these family properties are worth 20 million, half of which would be 10 million gold coins, plus 3 million real gold coins. Was Wang Sheng really so willing? Wasn't he afraid that she would take these gold coins and run away?

"Later, talk to Madam Su again and see if she is interested in increasing some more gold coins, otherwise she can only be a small shareholder." Wang Sheng smiled and said, without saying anything about trust or distrust to Mei'er.

A complex and inexplicable look flashed in Mei'er's eyes, she bit her lip, and nodded heavily.

"Today, I also talked about a business deal with Shopkeeper Su." Wang Sheng then told her what he had discussed with the Emperor: "He is interested in investing in Qianshengyuan, so I considered it and agreed."

"Ah? How much does he plan to invest? How much capital?" As soon as she talked about this, Mei'er asked anxiously, for fear that Wang Sheng was not familiar with the market and suffered a big loss.

Wang Sheng was really generous sometimes, casually investing more than 10 million gold coins in his beauty salon that didn't even have a shadow yet. If Shopkeeper Su took advantage of the situation, thinking about the future business scale, it would simply be drawing blood from Mei'er.

"I gave him 10%, you 40%, and the rest is mine." Wang Sheng simply divided the shares, and then said: "You just need to join with your manpower, and Shopkeeper Su needs to invest some real gold and silver."

Mei'er was very satisfied with this division, but she was still more interested in how much gold coins Shopkeeper Su was going to invest, so she asked a second time.

"Ten million gold coins, accounting for 10%." Wang Sheng replied with a smile: "He has already agreed and will send it over in two days."

"Ten million?" Mei'er let out an exaggerated exclamation: "Why don't you just rob someone?"
