Chapter 111 The Hen That Lays Golden Eggs
Chapter 111 The Hen That Lays Golden Eggs
"Prince Min?"
Wu Weiwei frowned.
This ignorant and incompetent Prince Min actually got involved.
"Exactly."
Since the last time Prince Min was humiliated, he was probably unwilling to accept it.
It just so happened that Ma Hongmao was interested in making friends with her, and following his lead, she set her sights on Wei Garden.
Wu Weiwei smiled slightly; it seemed this matter was becoming increasingly complicated.
Not only does the female lead want her Wei Garden, but even Prince Min wants to get involved through Ma Hongmao.
After a moment's thought, she quickly came up with an idea.
She looked at Huang Youlin.
"Manager Huang, contact Ma Hongmao immediately and tell him that I want to sell Weiyuan and see what price he can offer."
Also, go and call Steward Cheng over..."
Upon hearing that Wu Weiwei was going to sell Weiyuan, Huang Youlin looked at her in surprise.
"Boss, are you kidding me?"
"What, you think I'm joking?"
Wu Weiwei looked at him with a serious expression.
"Ke, Kewei Garden..."
Weiyuan is doing very well, and it will probably be able to recoup its initial investment within three months.
Why did the owner sell it?
Is she short of money?
Seeing Huang Youlin looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Wu Weiwei didn't explain to him; she figured he would find out eventually.
"You don't need to worry about these things for now. I have my own plans."
"Okay, boss."
After a while.
A series of footsteps approached from afar, followed by two knocks.
Wu Weiwei, who was dozing off, opened her eyes.
"Enter".
The door opened.
Wu Weiwei saw Lin Fan walk in.
Behind him was Manager Cheng, whom she had just instructed Huang Youlin to summon.
"Everyone, sit down!"
After Lingfu served the tea, Wu Weiwei looked at the two people who were looking at her with puzzled expressions.
Cheng Zeming had already learned from Manager Huang that the owner wanted to sell Wei Garden.
Upon hearing this, he was so surprised that he immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over.
"Now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point: I've decided to sell Wei Garden."
Wu Weiwei said solemnly.
"Boss, Weiyuan is now on the right track and starting to make money."
Moreover, at the current rate of profit generation, it will probably take less than three months to recoup the costs.
I don't understand why you sold it?
Manager Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Wu Weiwei gave a wry smile.
She knew all too well that Weiyuan was a hen that only laid golden eggs.
But the current situation forces her to sell.
"Was it the Crown Prince who forced you?"
Lin Fan looked at her wry smile and asked with certainty.
In the entire capital, apart from the Crown Prince, he couldn't think of anyone else who would dare to coerce her into selling Wei Garden.
Wu Weiwei looked at Lin Fan.
"You've probably heard about what happened yesterday. To win a smile from his beloved concubine, the young master is planning to give my Wei Garden to her to manage..."
Lin Fan frowned.
"As you should know, Wei Garden has only been open for less than a month, but it has already attracted the attention of many people in the capital."
Besides the crown prince, there were also many high-ranking officials among them.
She looked at Manager Cheng.
"Manager Cheng, I hope you will spread the word about the profits our Wei Garden has made this month, and exaggerate them extensively..."
"What does the boss mean?"
Manager Cheng was puzzled.
"Bidding, the highest bidder wins."
Lin Fan looked at Wu Weiwei and revealed her thoughts.
Wu Weiwei nodded.
Not entirely.
She looked at Lin Fan and said, "Weiyuan is a hen that only lays golden eggs; everyone knows that."
Therefore, they will definitely try to acquire it at any cost through bidding.
Therefore, I will absolutely not sell my Wei Garden at market price; I will sell it at a price exceeding its value…
Her purpose in doing this was simply to let the crown prince know.
This was all her hard work; he had wronged himself.
So in the end, Weiyuan will be sold to him, but not at the market price.
Since he's just trying to make the female lead happy, he should be prepared to pay a high price!
When Wu Weiwei returned to the Marquis's residence after finishing her business, the news that golden eggs would be laid in Wei Garden had already spread throughout the entire capital.
"Master, why don't we take over Wei Garden?"
In a three-courtyard house in the capital, a noblewoman was discussing something with her husband.
"Ignorant! You think you can just take it down like that?"
Do you know how many people in the capital are eyeing this coveted prize?
The bloated, high-ranking official looked at his wife and said, "I have no money. If you can borrow some from your family, you might as well give it a try!"
"I……"
The noblewoman looked at her husband and asked, "Master, how much silver will it cost?"
"I heard it should be this number."
The high-ranking official held up three fingers to his wife.
The woman looked on, then tentatively spoke:
"30,000 taels?"
The high-ranking official was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
If it were 30,000 taels, would he still need his wife to borrow money from her family? He would have already taken it.
“You wish!
I heard that Weiyuan's monthly profit is more than 30,000 taels, and you still think you can buy it for 30,000 taels.
"How much is that?"
The noblewoman was conflicted.
"It's 300,000 taels."
"Three hundred thousand taels of silver! Why doesn't Wu Weiwei just rob the national treasury?!"
"You, you ignorant woman."
The high-ranking official pointed at her.
"You need to know that if it costs 30,000 taels a month, then it would amount to 360,000 taels a year."
It has already recouped its losses.
With a brain like that, you still want to do business? You'll probably get ripped off without even realizing it.
During dinner, Steward Huang came to the Marquis's residence.
“Boss, I’ve already checked with Ma Hongmao, and he’s agreed to pay 200,000.”
It all depends on when you talk to him about the next step.
Upon hearing "two hundred thousand," Lingfu raised an eyebrow.
Wu Weiwei looked her over, and Ling Fu then withdrew her surprised gaze.
Wu Weiwei took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I heard that a high price of 300,000 has already been offered outside."
He really has the nerve to think he can take over my Wei Garden with just 200,000 yuan.
Manager Huang frowned slightly.
He had already learned from Steward Cheng that the owner wanted to sell Wei Garden, and he dared not object to it.
It's just a pity for those two hundred prostitutes in Wei Garden.
Just as Weiyuan was starting to show promise and achieve results, the company abandoned them.
"Manager Huang, do you perhaps have other opinions about my selling of Wei Garden?"
Wu Weiwei was unaware of Manager Huang's thoughts, so she asked him in confusion after seeing him frown.
"No, I am of limited talent and have no insights."
After a long while, Wu Weiwei finally raised her eyes and said, "You should go back first!"
If Ma Hongmao asks you again, just say the price isn't right, and don't say anything else..."
"Yes, boss."
Seeing Steward Huang leave dejectedly, Wanqiu asked in confusion, "Auntie, is Steward Huang dissatisfied with your sale of Wei Garden?"
"dissatisfied?"
Wu Weiwei's thoughts shifted, as if she had thought of something.
Qingsong Courtyard.
Lu Hanting went to the outskirts of Beijing to investigate a case early this morning and didn't return until evening.
Looking at Ru Feng standing quietly to the side.
Lu Hanting looked at him with his dark eyes: "Rufeng, what did Aunt Wu say about the Wei Garden matter?"
