NOVEL NEXT Chapter 52
Chapter 52: I, Sister Zi, am all about giving away money for nothing, first and foremost!
Before Li Mo could rise, Sister Zi stopped him and said, “Wait, there’s something else Sister Zi would like to discuss with you.”
Li Mo frowned, a look of hesitation crossing his face. Sister Zi was perceptive and possessed strong observational skills.
She saw it and smiled to explain, “Sir, rest assured, this has nothing to do with the nightfall.”
She knew that Li Mo did not want to get involved in the matter between them and the nightfall.
Li Mo indeed hesitated because of this.
It’s easy to help Sister Zi with some private matters, but if it involves the nightfall, no matter what, he would refuse.
“Madam Zi, please speak.”
Li Mo’s mouth moved slightly. Since it had nothing to do with the nightfall, he could listen.
Sister Zi looked at him and said, “With the silk stockings and… bras from sir, Purple Orchid Pavilion’s business has improved significantly.”
“Sister Zi thought, if we open a few shops and sell those things in the city, would the profits be even higher?”
In plain terms, Purple Orchid Pavilion is just that big. There are only so many young ladies inside. Although the business has been much better these days than before, it is still limited.
During this time, Sister Zi also noticed that not only did men like those things on the young ladies, but even the young ladies themselves liked to wear them.
Men are lecherous, and women love beauty. Just like rouge and face powder. Although it is for women to use, it is actually meant for men to see.
Sister Zi’s commercial sense is extremely keen. If those silk stockings and high heels can be sold externally, there will definitely be a market!
Just think about it, if it were her, she would definitely buy it! And this is Xinzheng.
Among the seven countries, it is one of the most prosperous places in terms of trade. By then, their market will not only be in Xinzheng and Han Country, but will likely sweep across the entire seven countries!
Which man can resist the temptation of silk stockings? Which woman can withstand the torture of sagging? ”
Open a shop?”
Li Mo exclaimed in doubt. This is indeed a good idea!
“All the materials have been given to Madam Zi. Madam, how you want to use them, just go ahead.”
He gave the drawings and production methods to Sister Zi.
Sister Zi gave him a reward of three hundred gold coins. In his opinion, this was a buyout of his skills. So, how you want to do it, that’s your business!
But Sister Zi shook her head and said sensibly, “That won’t do. The materials were provided by sir, so naturally, I must first ask for sir’s opinion.”
Li Mo felt quite comfortable after hearing this. Sister Zi’s words are really sweet!
“Since the sir has no objections, shall we discuss how to divide the profits?”
Sister Zi sat in her seat, propped up her chin, and looked at him with a smile.
Li Mo paused for a moment and said, “Madam Zi already gave a reward, and this matter of opening a shop is your own initiative, so why would there be talk of profit sharing?”
Li Mo did not think that Sister Zi wanted him to invest and become a shareholder. Would a wealthy little lady like her lack these trifles?
But Sister Zi retorted, “Of course, there must be profit sharing. The three hundred gold coins I gave were to thank sir, unrelated to the reward.”
“Since the goods were provided by sir, I certainly can’t let the gentleman suffer losses for nothing. Besides, I am also looking forward to sir designing more new styles, so how can I not share the profits with the gentleman.”
Li Mo understood, it’s a technical investment! Otherwise, why would Sister Zi be considered smart? She wants to squeeze him dry!
No matter how much the profit sharing is, it will become her own business. The better it sells, the more he will get.
Of course, he will have to rack his brains for new designs!
Li Mo considered for a moment and thought it was not a bad idea. When he had some free time, he could think about drawing up some designs of the styles from his past life for her!
“Alright, let’s go with what Madam said.”
Li Mo picked up his teacup and gently stirred the tea leaves inside. Whether Sister Zi will give him one-tenth or half of the profits, he doesn’t mind, he’ll just consider it a unexpected gain!
The production, materials, store location, and labor, all of these are provided by Sister Zi. So, she must take the lion’s share.
Fair and reasonable!
When Sister Zi saw Li Mo agreed, she was overjoyed. The gleam in her eyes flickered, “In that case, how about we split the benefits fifty-fifty?”
“Cough~”
Li Mo suddenly sprayed out the tea in his mouth. And Lingyu, who was still playing with the abacus, was shocked that she almost dropped the bamboo slip in her hand!
Isn’t it, sister, how is this any different from giving money away for free?
Sister Zi clearly didn’t care about these things, she just wanted to give it away for free!
I, Sister Zi, am all about giving away money for nothing, first and foremost!
