Ye Shiqi had twenty thousand silver notes in her pocket and wondered if she was being too greedy, always feeling that in the Capital, twenty thousand would quickly be spent.
As she sat in the carriage, she glanced at the two bodyguards riding horses beside her, Zhong Xingwang and Li Zhihao, and seeing their foolish smiles, she felt that men cared about money and power!
The carriage passed through bustling streets where each shop was crowded; the purchasing power of the people in Capital City was impressive.
Ye Shiqi could imagine quickly recouping the money, with wealth rolling in.
She already had plans in mind; one shop would sell grain, another would sell bicycles, including repair and assembly services.
The warehouse, in addition to storing grain, would also hold bicycle parts delivered from factories.
In this unfamiliar ancient Capital City, she might have other business ideas, but for now, she couldn’t expand her enterprises too quickly.
Estates, shops, farms—these were opportunities not easily found; how could one stumble upon such willing sellers all at once?
Ye Shiqi had already seen the house; in such a prime location in Capital City, such a large house was worth far more than 3000 copper coins. It was just that ordinary people found it expensive; it was definitely a steal.
They quickly returned to the estate, and the people they brought automatically became guards. Seeing their carriage arrive, the master dismounted the horse and alighted the carriage.
Li Zhihao... not bad, quickly fitting into his role!
As Ye Shiqi alighted from the carriage, someone proactively greeted her, "Hello, Fifth Miss!"
Ye Shiqi... she’d learned etiquette well; nobody would say we country folk don’t understand anything upon arriving here!
Zhong Xingwang... you all must continue to strive hard in the future, no slacking off!
The people in the living room had only chatted for a while, a span of a tea drink, when they already saw Ye Shiqi and her bodyguards return.
Everyone in the living room turned their attention to Ye Shiqi, and after the earlier interaction, the elderly master and the old housekeeper no longer regarded this young girl as someone naive!
The Old Master... so quick to return; I must see what she’s up to! Not simple!
The old housekeeper... judging by this young girl’s expression, it seems like she is holding the winning ticket.
The broker who made the introduction... will this deal go through?
Ye Shiqi exchanged glances with her family, nodded at them, and then addressed the Old Master:
"Old grandfather, we can make the deal now!"
The Old Master nodded and said to the housekeeper:
"Each generation produces new leaders; we can’t resist aging! Go ahead!"
The housekeeper nodded, went inside, and brought out a wooden box containing the house contract and land deed.
Ye Shiqi took out twelve thousand silver notes from her pocket and handed them to the old housekeeper.
The contents of the box still had to be taken to the government by the broker for stamping, to change the owner’s name.
Ye Shiqi handed the wooden box to Li Zhihao, along with a thousand copper coins for the broker to settle the paperwork; naturally, this thousand coins included both a reward and the fee for handling the business.
Ye Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lighter although much of her money was now gone. As long as they owned the property, she felt they could quickly earn it back.
Having seen the flowers in the estate’s garden, she had already thought beyond just farming; she wanted to pioneer a new path by planting flowers and fruit.
The flowers would be prized potted plants, and the fruit trees as well.
These people lacked gardening skills at the moment; those who had previously farmed grain weren’t necessarily skilled at cultivating flowers, but she believed that with Space Water, anything could thrive.
The old housekeeper inspected the silver notes, acknowledging they were from the Tang Family Bank then proceeded to hand the money to the master.
The Old Master simply glanced at the silver notes, noticing the absence of a Tang Family Bank stamp, and displayed an ambiguous smile.
No wonder that little girl left so quickly, it turns out she is connected to the Tang Family, and she seems financially solid.
It reminded him of something an old friend had trusted to him.
"Little girl, are you still interested in buying houses, shops, or maybe a farm?"
The old housekeeper...what is the master thinking...
The Ye family... we are all burdened with huge debts!
Li Zhihao...still wants to buy?
Zhong Xingwang... sure, buy buy buy! My little sister-in-law is rich!
The broker introduced... is there another business opportunity coming along?
Ye Shiqi... the money in my pocket is quickly running low, old man, can you not lead me on?
But an opportunity shouldn’t be wasted!
"Old Grandpa, do you have other properties you want to sell?"
The old man shook his head and said, "The properties aren’t mine, they belong to a friend who asked me to sell them, but I haven’t found the right buyer yet."
"Could it be that the offered price was too low?" Ye Shiqi asked, somewhat confused.
"Not really, my old friend is a bit peculiar with requirements; first, the buyer can’t be from Capital City, second, they must have good character, and third, the buyer must be a female, little girl, and the property must be transferred to her name!"
The Ye family... Is this tailor-made for our family’s girl?
Li Zhihao... are they waiting for my niece?
Zhong Xingwang... if my little sister-in-law doesn’t come, would you be able to sell? Who else has just a few-year-old girl buying so much property?
Ye Shiqi... to transfer to my name? That’s not impossible, I can just repay the loan taken out in my name!
She didn’t feel the family would disagree, as she had done so much for the family, and among them, they owned several estates.
Now, besides the other purchased shops, houses, and estates, as for the old uncle’s sale, it was up to her father to decide who’s name it would be under!
Although she thought this way, she still looked back at her parents. She had her own ideas, but she also respected her parents and elder sisters, and as for her younger brother, he was still young, but he could achieve on his own when he grew up.
"Dad, Mom, elder sisters, what do you think?"
Hongji nodded and said, "Let’s follow the old man’s conditions, we as parents should gradually prepare your dowries!"
Mrs. Li agreed with her husband and said, "Exactly, we have also acquired some properties before, and we’ll continue to prepare dowries for you sisters as each of you grows up."
The other four sisters nodded.
Ye Wenjie boasted, "Fifth Sister, the properties you buy will be all yours, and when I grow up, I’ll provide even more dowries for my sisters!"
The Fifth Miss... if we wait for you to provide our dowries before getting married, we’ll all be old.
Zhong Xingwang... compared to what little uncle boasted, he hasn’t achieved that much even as he grew up; thus, he only had to do it for his wife, to buy buy buy for her!
Li Anning... I too must work hard to earn money for the dowries of the sisters at home!
Li Zhihao... felt like he wasn’t clear enough as a father, that he hadn’t done enough to provide for their dowries.
The old man and the housekeeper exchanged a look, seeing that the little girl wasn’t greedy and that the family was very united, they hadn’t chosen wrong!
"Old man, how much are the house, the shop, and the estate?" With her family’s approval, Ye Shiqi could only start buying!
