Third Master Zhou’s eyes lit up.
“Good! I’ll take all the stores in Qingshi Town and Nan’an County!” He quickly said.
Old Master Zhou’s throat went dry.
The words that he wanted to say were swallowed.
He also wanted to invest in a few stores.
Qingshi Town was the closest to home, so it was the best choice.
However, now that Third Master Zhou had spoken before him, he could not take it from him.
Zhou Shi looked at her father with a sigh and suppressed her thoughts.
Her father wanted to join her sister’s chain store, and she actually had the same intention.
They could join for 200 taels of silver, and did not have to worry about the opening of the store.
The subsequent stores would also be able to make profits very quickly.
Wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to join her than to leave the money at home?
Not only was it cost-effective, but it could also generate money!
Moreover, she also said that when the brand effect took place, the threshold of the joining fee would increase.
Joining now was much more cost-effective than joining in the future!
Manager Liang felt his throat go dry when he heard Third Master Zhou’s words.
He wondered if the head of the family would be interested after hearing the news.
However, he was very interested!
He had some savings on hand. It would not be a problem for him to take two or three stores.
Therefore, not only Third Master Zhou, but also Old Master Zhou, Zhou Shi, and Manager Liang all looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
It was as if Lin Xiaoyue had a treasure that they all wanted.
“Will you also open a few stores in the towns around Qingshi Town?” Zhou Shi couldn’t help but ask.
Since her cousin wanted the two shops in Qingshi Town, she was too embarra.s.sed to compete with him.
Now, before her father and Manager Liang spoke, she had to quickly decide on a few.
She had already sold two of her shops at the dock, and the rest would be sold soon.
Then, she could take out a portion of the money and join Lin Xiaoyue.
Old Master Zhou and Manager Liang immediately looked at Zhou Shi, their eyes filled with annoyance.
They hadn’t even opened their mouths yet, and they were actually beaten to it again.
“Yes, Taohua Town next to Qingshi Town is quite big. There are also Lanshan Town and Huaihua Town that are further away.” Old Master Zhou quickly said.
Manager Liang’s face was filled with anxiety.
“Yes, under Nan’an County, there are many towns that are quite big. If you want to open your eateries there, the business would definitely not be bad.” He quickly added.
He was afraid that if he didn’t say anything, all the eateries near Qingshi Town would be taken by them.
Third Master Zhou looked at the three of them and smiled.
“Are you guys interested in joining?” He asked.
The three of them looked at each other in embarra.s.sment, but they all nodded.
“Ms. Lin’s eatery has a unique style. The food tastes good, and the price is not expensive. Once the stores are opened, they will definitely make money.” Manager Liang said.
“The family head isn’t here today. I can’t represent the Liang in this matter. But 1 would like to take three shops.”
The moment he said that, Old Master Zhou and Zhou Shi’s expressions changed.
“I want 6, no, 8 stores!” Old Master Zhou said.
8 stores would cost a total of 1,600 taels, which was not low. However, it was not a problem for him.
“L..I want 4!” Zhou Shi added.
She wanted to say 4, but her father asked for eight, so she asked for one more.
Anyway, the joining fee was low at the moment. To her, one more was extra profit.
Yes, that’s it!
When Third Master Zhou saw this, his expression changed.
“I want a total of 20 stores.”
The total fee would be 4,000 taels.
After giving out this sum of money, in addition to his previous investment, he spent 5,000 taels and also gave Ms. Lin a manor. His savings were almost empty.
However, he did not expect that all his a.s.sets were actually going to Lin Xiaoyue.
At this moment, Third Master Zhou looked at Lin Xiaoyue differently.
He recalled the first time he met Lin Xiaoyue.
If he had known that Ms. Lin was so capable, he wouldn’t have sold Li Xiao to her back then. Instead, he would have sold himself to her instead.
How great would that be? He would get the money and the girl…
