The money was too easy to earn.
However, those who had eaten the spicy skewers at Lin Xiaoyue’s eatery knew that the joining fee for her chain store was only 200 taels. It was really not expensive.
He only paid 200 taels of silver and didn’t have to worry about anything else. He could just wait for the opening.
Even after opening, the delivery of the ingredients and the cleaning of the utensils would be taken care of. There was very little trouble.
Who wouldn’t go for it if they knew about such a good thing?
Even Manager Liang joined.
And Third Master Zhou took 20 stores!
“Let me see the contract.” Liang Yu was the first to regain his senses and said to Manager Liang.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Manager Liang’s eyes, but he quickly took out the contract and handed it to Liang Yu respectfully.
Seeing Prince Anyang looking at him, Liang Yu bowed and handed the contract to Prince Anyang.
He stood beside Prince Anyang and read with him.
Looking at the various clauses on the contract, the two of them were amazed.
It was written in great detail.
The rights and obligations of both parties in the contract were very clear.
After reading the contents of the contract, Prince Anyang’s eyes lit up and he quickly calculated the amount of money he had.
The Liang family was his money bag. If he wanted money, his brother-in-law would give it to him.
But it was not his money.
Every time he asked his brother-in-law for money, he was actually a little embarrassed.
He really wasn’t rich.
Mrs. Li’s chain store was not a bad idea, and he had enough manpower.
By taking 50 to 60 stores, he would be able to make a good profit every month.
This way, he wouldn’t have to keep asking his brother-in-law for money.
Liang Yu was also tempted.
Opening a shop with 200 taels of silver, with the Liang family’s experience in opening a shop over the years, he didn’t even dare to think about it.
If it was a restaurant like Ruyi Restaurant, the starting price would be 6,000 taels of silver.
Of course, the money spent on the restaurant accounted for a large part of it.
For the sake of long-term development, the Liang Corporation’s restaurants were either bought, renovated, or self-built.
After that, the renovation, hiring, and other opening expenses added up to 6,000 taels of silver.
Opening a new eatery would cost a lot less.
However, if he wanted to do a good job, he would have to spend 700 to 800 taels.
For other industries, such as the jewelry store, the cost of opening was even higher.
It was mainly the cost of purchasing goods.
He couldn’t imagine opening one for 200 taels of silver.
The Liang family had a budget of at least 6,000 taels for a restaurant. When it opened, it might not necessarily be profitable.
6,000 taels could be used to open 30 chain stores.
With the delicious food Ms. Lin sold, it was almost impossible for them to lose money.
Even if one store could only earn 100 taels of silver a month, the total profit would be 3,000 taels of silver a month.
He would earn back his capital in 2 months.
“How do I join?” Suddenly, Prince Anyang asked.
Liang Yu and Manager Liang were stunned.
“Your Highness may go to Ms. Lin…Mrs. Li directly,” Manager Liang said.
They all addressed Lin Xiaoyue as Ms. Lin and never called her Mrs. Li.
After all, the general married into her family.
Moreover, she was very capable.
Even His Highness was interested in her stores.
Prince Anyang remembered that his brother-in-law called her Ms. Lin.
“Oh right, currently, Mrs. Li has only planned to open in Nan’an County.
Excluding the number of stores owned by her family, there are 64 spots. This morning, we’ve already taken 36 of them.”
Manager Liang carefully raised his head and glanced at Liang Yu and Prince Anyang.
Seeing the two of them frown at the same time, he quickly lowered her head.
“You have to hurry up if you plan to join.”
As expected, Lians Yu was also very interested.
The moment he said that, Prince Anyang and Liang Yu were shocked.
What? There were only 65 spots in total? And 36 were already taken?
Only 28 were left!
That was less than half!
