NOVEL NEXT Chapter 36: The mother-in-law is a particular person!
“Now, not only solving a major issue for Li Shimin but also gaining the favor of Princess Changle is crucial!”
“The main goal is to earn a lot of money!”
“How much money does this need to make?”
“It’s been three years since Xiao Ran traveled here, and he can’t afford a house. The first thing to do when making money is to buy this house.”
“No, no, no… buy the entire building.”
“For safety, buy the entire community… and then rent it out.”
…
Li Lizhi came back with Yushu. Yushu walked to the bedroom door interestingly and didn’t go in. Li Lizhi closed the door and walked towards the bedroom.
Xiao Ran quickly got up and walked to the bedroom, “Changle, come here quickly, I have something to tell you.”
Xiao Ran also noticed that Li Lizhi seemed in a good mood. Li Lizhi nodded and entered the living room. Xiao Ran poured her a cup of hot water. Seeing the glass, Li Lizhi was surprised and delighted, forgetting to drink water.
“This glass is expensive, isn’t it!” Li Lizhi looked surprised at the glass in her hand.
“It’s not valuable.”
“If this gets to the Tang Dynasty, it should be very popular!” Li Lizhi said thoughtfully.
“It should be..,” Xiao Ran redirected, “What did the Empress say? How much is it appropriate to sell?”
“My queen said a set of twenty-five taels of silver. What do you think…”
“How much?” Xiao Ran raised his voice, thinking he heard it wrong.
“Twenty-five taels of silver. Do you think it’s too low?” Li Lizhi asked tentatively.
“No… Isn’t this a bit expensive!” Xiao Ran said… She is rich but not stupid.
“A set of thermal underwear costs twenty-five taels of silver, which is too much.”
“The queen said the thermal underwear is of good quality, and the price is fair. High prices show high quality. Powerful people care about face and don’t want to wear cheap things.” Li Lizhi relayed the meaning of the empress.
Xiao Ran nodded, “Since the empress has said so, it’s settled.”
“Isn’t it a disease if you have money but don’t make money?”
“My structure is small, and my future mother-in-law is really extraordinary.”
Xiao Ran said in her mind… my future mother-in-law is quite particular. She could just take the money directly, but instead, she’s gifting a thermal underwear set!
Thermal underwear worth $500 is selling for a whopping $40,000!
This is a lucrative business!
“When do we start?” Li Lizhi also wanted to sell it soon.
This is a goldmine!
“Tomorrow works. How do we split the profits?” Xiao Ran’s $20,000 deposit was sufficient as startup capital.
“You decide!” Li Lizhi felt indebted and suggested, “Just give me a small commission for my effort!”
This matter definitely involved Li Lizhi. Xiao Ran, a refugee, would likely be detained and questioned if seen in Changan City, let alone entering the imperial palace.
“I’ll take 60%, you 30%, and the Empress gets 10%,” suggested Xiao Ran.
Li Lizhi shook her head, “I’m taking too much for doing nothing. Let’s split it with you taking 80% and me and the Empress taking 10%.”
“Okay, 70% for me, 20% for you, and 10% for the Empress,” decides Xiao Ran.
“But..,” Li Lizhi felt indebted.
“No ‘buts,’ it’s settled,” said Xiao Ran. Past efforts pay off.
“Okay!” Li Lizhi suggested, “I’ll arrange a legal identity for you, making it easier for you to travel in the Tang Dynasty.”
“That’s a good idea,” agreed Xiao Ran.
“What identity would you prefer?” Asked Li Lizhi.
Xiao Ran laughs, “Let’s keep it simple. How about making me a son-in-law? Seems fitting…”
“You cheeky rogue… dare to play tricks on me!” Teases Li Lizhi.
“Okay, but I also have good news to tell you!” Xiao Ran quickly changed the topic.
“Hmph!” Li Lizhi playfully snorts.
“I’ve figured out a solution to the problem – easing the shortage of heating supplies,” Xiao Ran added.
“Really?” Li Lizhi looked excitedly at Xiao Ran.
