The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao nodded slightly and laughed heartily, saying, "Don't worry, the pufferfish is not poisonous at all after being processed."

As he spoke, he looked at Qian Duoduo and ordered, "Oh, right, have someone bring me my hot pot. Make the same hot pot we had last time. Make one spicy and one clear soup, and add some seasonings. You might as well add more flavors."

"Just thinking about steaming another basket of hairy crabs makes my mouth water!"

Qian Duoduo smiled sweetly and said, "Your Majesty, I understand all of this. Just wait and eat!"

"By the way, Your Majesty, I forgot to tell you something."

"Ever since I had hot pot last time, I took matters into my own hands and gave the seasoning recipe and preparation method to my grandfather and Third Brother Zhu, and opened several hot pot restaurants in the capital."

"You won't blame me for this, will you?"

Xiao Tianyue looked at Qian Duoduo and said in surprise, "Great! Sister Lan Fei, it turns out you own the most popular hot pot restaurant in Beijing. No wonder there are so many people here that you have to make a reservation to eat there!"

"No, you have to get me a VIP card, otherwise, I will ignore you in the future."

Seeing this, Xie Wanqing, Shi Mengyao, Fan Xuemei and others immediately surrounded Qian Duoduo, instantly pushing Qin Hao aside, and scrambled to say, "Sister Lan Fei, I want one too, I want one too!"

Su Ziyan looked at these crazy women speechlessly, secretly laughing, and asked softly, "Is hot pot really that delicious? It's worth these concubines and ladies going crazy!"

Wang Yourong covered her mouth and laughed, "Concubine Su, you may not know something!"

"I heard from Concubine Lan that those hot pot restaurants are packed and open day and night. Even that's not enough. The queues stretch for hundreds of meters."

“As for those VIP rooms, the minimum consumption is one thousand and two taels of silver, and it’s still hard to find one at a good price.”

"It's said that the royal family, princes, ministers, and wealthy children in the capital all go there for dinner and banquets, and they are proud to have access to the VIP room!"

"Not only that, the business of restaurants in the capital has declined significantly, and even the business of those entertainment venues has plummeted."

Su Ziyan looked up at Qin Hao, the instigator, and said in shock, "How much money does he make in a day? Is it really that exaggerated?"

Qin Hao nodded slightly and thought to himself: Are you kidding me? How can something from the 21st century not be popular?

By the way, there are also crayfish, hairy crabs, and even puffer fish. If they were moved to a hot pot restaurant, the business would definitely be booming.

He was tempted but did not take action. He quickly stopped these crazy women and rescued Qian Duoduo.

"Okay, stop for a moment, I have something to say!"

The women all met Qin Hao's gaze, waiting for him to speak.

Qin Hao looked around at the women and smiled slightly, saying, "Every one of you here is my woman, and I won't show favoritism!"

When Su Ziyan heard this, her face turned slightly red and she felt a little uneasy.

Fortunately, everyone was listening to Qin Hao and not paying attention to her, otherwise, she wouldn't know how to get off the stage.

Not only her, but Qin Wei also had the same idea. She took a few steps back and hid aside.

Qin Hao didn't notice the change in the two people and continued, "I plan to expand the business. You and your family can join for free."

"You will provide the venue yourself, half of the profits will go to the state treasury, and the rest will be yours."

As he spoke, he looked at Qian Duoduo and asked, "Princess Lan, what do you think of my idea?"

Upon hearing this, the girls all looked at Qian Duoduo with anticipation in their eyes, wishing they could agree to it on her behalf.

The hotpot restaurant business is booming, making a fortune every day, and everyone is jealous.

Even if they don't think about themselves, they still have to fight for some benefits for the family.

Qian Duoduo nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have had this idea for a long time, but you are so busy that I haven't had the chance to tell you yet."

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Alright, from now on, you can just ask Lan Fei for these matters. Just hand over the monthly accounts to her!"

"By the way, Concubine Lan, write to your father and ask him to find some chefs from Suzhou and send them over. Then, we can ship seafood like pufferfish, hairy crabs, and crayfish to the capital. Your business will surely be even more prosperous."

Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have already informed my father of this matter. I believe the chefs and seafood will be delivered soon."

Qin Hao couldn't help but look at her differently, and said with a gentle smile: "As my financial manager, Concubine Lan is very competent, and I am very relieved."

"Let's all make money together! Tell everyone about the profits from running a hot pot restaurant and let them get involved."

Qian Duoduo was so pleased with Qin Hao's praise that she smiled and said, "My dear sisters, we are the number one hot pot restaurant in Beijing. We now have six stores and have been open for more than half a month."

"The total investment for the purchase of real estate, storefront decoration, etc. is 2.76 million taels. The daily income of each store varies slightly, but the total daily turnover of the six stores is maintained at around 300,000 taels."

"As of yesterday, the total turnover was 5.97 million taels. After deducting the input costs and various expenses, the profit was approximately 1.37 million taels."

Qian Duoduo was able to come up with these data effortlessly, and it was clear that she had put in a lot of effort.

"Yes, it's much better than I expected!" Qin Hao laughed.

Fan Xuemei was surprised and said, "Oh my God! Sister Lan Fei, how did you do that?"

"That's faster than the Mint can produce money. It's unimaginable."

As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, "A shop costs over 400,000 taels of silver to invest in. With an average daily income of 50,000 taels, and a return on investment of 10 days, wouldn't that mean a profit of tens of millions of taels of silver per year?"

"My father has been an official for so many years, and he only accepted bribes of more than 300,000 silver coins. Compared to this, it's a drop in the bucket. The key is that there is no risk at all."

Her words immediately made everyone laugh.

Qian Duoduo also smiled and patiently explained, "Sister Xuemei, that's not how it works. As the number of stores increases, business will definitely decline. This is the law of the market."

Fan Xuemei nodded and said, "I understand this, Sister Lan Fei, I want to invest in opening one."

Lu Yuwei followed closely behind, smiling and saying, "Sister Duoduo, you have always loved me the most. Can I open ten?"

Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "Sister Yuwei, are you taking this as a joke? You just opened your mouth and said ten."

"However, you did remind me that if each of you opens a store in the capital, your business won't decline too badly."

"As for leaving the capital, you can drive as many as you want!"

When Lu Yuwei heard what Concubine Lan said, her eyes lit up and she said loudly, "Sister Concubine Lan, I know you love me the most. Well, I want the exclusive operating rights of the county where Fanyang is located and I want to monopolize this business."

As expected of a daughter from a prominent family, she started talking about exclusive operation and monopoly.

Xie Wanqing refused to be outdone and said, "Sister Lan Fei, then I want the exclusive operating rights of the prefecture and county where Chen County is located."

Qin Hao frowned. He didn't expect that the women around him were more enchanting than the other.

Lu Yuwei and Xie Wanqing are not the legitimate daughters of aristocratic families, but she, a woman, has such great power, so how deep is the family background behind them?

"No, I don't agree!" Qin Hao suddenly said loudly.

Lu Yuwei was startled and looked up and asked, "Brother Emperor, why don't you agree?"

Qin Hao then realized that his voice was a bit loud, and quickly explained with a pleasant face: "You will enter the palace as concubines in the future, so it's harmless to open one or two for fun!"

"But if you try to establish a monopoly, it will be my people who will suffer in the end. Do you understand?"

Lu Yuwei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xie Wanqing's eyes.
