Hearing Li Shu ask when he had been a sucker, Qin'er couldn't help but cough, and said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Miss, you have never been a sucker before, but that was the past. Are you a sucker now? Zizailou is worth six or seven hundred taels of silver, but the lady has to buy it for one thousand taels; the desert slope behind it is worth ten taels of silver, but the lady has to spend one hundred taels of silver. You said, if this is not considered a sucker, then what is a sucker?"

"Gee" Li Shu couldn't help laughing when she saw Qin'er's heartbroken look, and then waved her pink little hand, making the irrelevant girl and the old mother avoid it for the time being, leaving Qin'er and a few other confidant girls and mothers in front of her.

"This is to get a bargain." Li Shu smiled slightly and said seriously.

"Pick up the bargain?" Qin'er expressed serious doubts. It was a loss to her grandma's house. How could it be called picking up the bargain?

Although I am a little educated, you can't deceive me, Miss. Qin'er looked at Li Shu with a suspicion.

"Zizai Building is now worth 700 taels of silver, but this is only its current market value, but it can be as short as two or three years, and as long as five or six years, the price of Zizai Building will at least quadruple." Li Shu said with a confident smile.

"Ah? At least it needs to double it?" Qin'er was surprised by the boss who opened his mouth. After being surprised, she was seriously suspicious. She looked at Li Shu with disbelief and questioned deeply, "Miss, how could it double it?"

"Just rely on the southern city wall." Li Shu said with a smile.

"South City Wall?" Qin'er looked confused, wondering what the price increase in Zizailou had to do with the South City Wall.

"Hehe, I see you are not much smarter than Hua'er." Li Shu couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed when she saw Qin'er's confused appearance.

"Miss, I just don't understand. What does the South City Wall have to do with the price increase of Zizai Building?"

Qin'er asked with a bitter face.

"Let me ask you which one is more expensive in the restaurant in the city or the restaurant outside the city?" Li Shu did not reply directly, but asked Qin'er a question.

"Of course, the restaurants in the city are expensive, and the restaurants in the city can buy several restaurants outside the city."

Qin'er replied without hesitation.

"Isn't that all. Zizai Tower was originally outside the city. Last month, Lord Nie Bao was in charge of the construction of the outer city outside the inner city. Only after the construction of the south city wall was built, the court's finance could not afford it. Lord Nie had to build two north-south walls connecting the inner and outer cities. Just completed three days ago, the original "mouth" shape in our capital was turned into a "convex" shape. Dajue Temple, Zizai Tower was originally outside the city, but now it is wrapped in the city wall and is already in the outer city. The outer city is also a city, and it is within the protection scope of the city wall.

In a few years, the outer city will definitely develop rapidly, and the land price of the outer city will definitely rise, so, Zizai Building will definitely appreciate. Especially with the development of the outer city, the Zizai Building will continue to appreciate. The more prosperous the outer city, the more value the Zizai Building will appreciate. The same is true for the barren slopes behind it. After a few years, in terms of value, the price of these ten acres is not inferior to Zizai Building. If you buy it, you will make a profit. Now you spend 1,100 taels of silver. If you sell it in the future, you can earn at least twice the profit."

Li Shu smiled like a little fox who had stole a chicken, and her eyes were as dark as ink.

"Ah, that's it."

After hearing Li Shu's words, Qin'er suddenly realized and looked at Li Shu's eyes full of stars of admiration.

At this moment, Qin'er's admiration for her lady was so exciting.

"Do you still think I'm a sucker?" Li Shu asked with a smile.

"Of course not." Qin'er shook her head firmly, and then became nervous again. "Miss, the outer city was repaired three days ago. Will Miss Six and Big Grandma also realize that the price of Zizai Building will increase, and will they regret it and disagree?"

Qin'er is afraid that Miss Six and the others will regret it now, and is worried that they will not agree to sell Zizai Building and the deserted slopes behind.

"Don't worry, they all seem smart, but in fact they are short-sighted. They can only stare at the one-acre and three-point land in the mansion. They only know how to fight in the house and the boudoir. They will not look at the outside of the mansion, let alone the outer city." Li Shu said contempt when she mentioned Miss Six and the others, and she was not worried that Miss Six and the others would regret it.

"The most important thing is that compared with the current market price, I raised at least 400 taels of silver for them, which made me so angry. I was so happy that I could not help myself. They are afraid that I would regret it now. Look, Lao Liu will come to me with the deed of the house deed and land, and will not give me the chance to 'reverse'."

Li Shu smiled and said confidently.

Qin'er recalled it and it was true that when Miss Six left just now, the excitement on her face could not be hidden.

He looks like he has taken a big advantage.

From this point of view, there is no need to worry that they will regret it. However, Qin'er still has a worry in her heart.

"Miss, as you said, it will take at least two or three years for the outer city to develop, and maybe five or six years for Zizai Building to appreciate. What should I do during this period? Zizai Building is not doing well and I am losing money every day. If I wait for five or six years and keep losing money for the past five or six years, it is not a small amount." Qin'er asked worriedly, "Miss Six and the others will definitely watch jokes. When they think that they are watching our jokes, although it is only temporary, they are still very unhappy."

"Haha, the reason why Zizailou has been losing money is that they can't manage it." Li Shu pulled her mouth disdainfully.

After hearing Li Shu's comment, Qin'er opened her mouth in surprise, "Ah? Can't manage it?! Last time we went to Dajue Temple to burn incense, and we passed by Zizai Building. I saw that the big grandma and the others managed it very carefully. Zizai Building is simple and exquisitely decorated, and the chef also hired the imperial kitchen in the imperial kitchen. The craftsmanship is quite good; the waiter is also diligent, careful and enthusiastic, and the ingredients are very fresh. I think Zizai Building has been losing money because of the desolate surroundings and the low traffic."

In Qin'er's opinion, even if they take over Zizailou, they may not be able to do better than the big grandma and the others.

"The surrounding area is desolate and the traffic is small, so can't we do business well?!" Li Shu smiled slightly.

Qin'er nodded subconsciously.

"If you can't do business well, you can't do a good job." Li Shu gently tapped Qin'er's head and said softly.

"How to manage it?" Qin'er's little head was filled with this question.

"Of course, we have made a good positioning. The surrounding area of ​​Zizai Building is more desolate and the passenger flow is less. Although the outer city has been built, the surrounding area of ​​Zizai Building will not prosper in a short period of time. However, Zizai Building is backed by Dajue Temple and is very close to Dajue Temple. Those who go from the inner city to Dajue Temple will pass by the avenue in front of Zizai Building. The flow of people is actually quite small. Many of these people who go to Dajue Temple to burn incense are high-ranking officials and wealthy families. As long as they catch them, Zizai Building's business is much more prosperous than the restaurants in the city."

Li Shu analyzed softly.

"What the lady said makes sense, but how can I catch them? Big grandma and the others have invited the imperial chef."

Qin'er looked question marks.

"Simple, if we accept Zizai Tower, we will be next to the outside of the store and we will be able to tell you: There is a vacant lot behind Zizai Tower for diners to plant blessing trees. If you are interested, our store provides pine, cypress, osmanthus, plum trees, orchids and bamboo saplings consecrated by monks in Dajue Temple for guests to plant blessings with inscriptions. Inscriptions are given to guests. A wooden sign can be hung on the tree to engrave the name of the distinguished guest, planting time and praying matters. After that, guests can come to our store to view the blessing trees they plant at any time. This store only charges three cents of sapling fees." Li Shu smiled slightly and said slowly.

"It can pray for blessings, elegant and memorial, and it will naturally attract a group of pilgrims who are not short of money to plant trees. Once the pilgrims plant trees have planted trees, they will definitely miss the blessing trees they planted by their own hands. Then they go to Dajue Temple to burn incense. They will naturally come to visit the blessing trees they planted by their own hands, and naturally become repeat customers. A group of small trees bring back a group of repeat customers, and the Zizai Building will naturally have a lot of customers."

Li Shu squinted her eyes and smiled like a little fox.
