The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm
Chapter 239: Inviting the Gu Family to Invest
"Ten, one hundred thousand taels..." Gu Yin was startled by Jun Xiao's actions and replied hesitantly.
One hundred thousand taels is indeed a lot. According to the current price of rice, which is 13 wen per catty, one hundred thousand taels is enough to buy more than 7 million catties of rice.
But Jun Xiao is the king of a country after all, he shouldn’t be so excited, right?
Jun Xiao stared at Gu Yin and asked, "Are you serious? Can you really make 100,000 taels a month?"
"This is just my estimate. We won't know if it will work until we do it..." Gu Yin paused and continued, "After all, you can lose money in business. I was too confident just now. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Jun Xiao calmed down now, and he sat back in his seat with a flick of his sleeves as if nothing had happened. "It's okay. If the club you mentioned is really more attractive than a brothel, then it's not impossible to make 100,000 taels a month."
"Can you tell me more specifically, what exactly is going to be done with this club?"
Gu Yin looked at him and saw that he looked serious, so she told him her plan.
If we were to ask what the most profitable business was in ancient times, the extravagant and decadent brothels must be one of them.
However, compared to the large health clubs that countless people linger in today, brothels seem too monotonous, so Gu Yin’s idea of opening a club did not come to the capital until he came to the capital.
Now that I have expressed this idea, I might as well take the opportunity to find a big backer.
"I'll invest in this project!" Jun Xiao made the decision immediately after listening to Gu Yin's proposal.
Gu Yin's face lit up with joy, and her eyes sparkled as she asked, "Then how much money does the emperor intend to invest?"
Jun Xiao's body stagnated slightly, he put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, saying, "It sounds like this club will require a lot of investment. Apart from me, is there any other way to raise money?"
“If His Majesty does not mind cooperating with a few more people, I will naturally find a way to find suitable investors.” Gu Yin was still confident about this. With the emperor as her backer, as long as these people were not stupid, they would know how to choose.
Jun Xiao propped himself up with his hands on his legs and nodded, "My money has other uses, but I can't just take the profits for nothing."
"Well, I will allocate you a piece of land outside the palace. If you have any other needs, just let me know. As long as I can do it, I will cooperate with you."
"But I have to take the lion's share of the profits. What do you think, County Lady?"
Gu Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, how about you take 30%? I will find someone to invest the remaining 70%."
"Forty percent!" Jun Xiao said without question, "I can give you the greatest convenience!"
"Really?" Gu Yin suddenly had an idea in her mind, but she didn't know if he could bear it.
Jun Xiao picked up the teacup and drank it all, then said calmly, "I am the ruler of a country, and my words are as good as gold."
"Deal!" Gu Yin agreed readily, smiling proudly.
When Jun Xiao saw this, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Could it be that he had been fooled by this girl?
Not only did Gu Yin get the land, she also had the support of the current emperor, and she left the palace feeling refreshed.
The Queen asked Jun Xiao with a smile, "Does the Emperor really think that the county lady's idea can make a lot of money?"
“Queen, please don’t underestimate her. This girl is very smart. She has made an indispensable contribution to the current prosperity of Ning County.” Jun Xiao explained happily.
When Gu Yin returned home, the Gu family had already been waiting at home. As soon as they saw her come back, they came forward to show their concern.
"Yin girl, come here and let grandma take a look. Are you okay?" Old Madam Gu extended her hand to Gu Yin with concern.
Gu Yin walked up to her, turned around twice, and comforted her, "It's okay, grandma, don't worry, I'm fine!"
"That's good, that's good." Old Madam Gu nodded repeatedly.
After everyone had gathered around Gu Yin and asked her a few questions, Gu Zheng finally asked, "Why did the emperor summon you to the palace?"
"Nothing much, I just asked about the situation in Ning County. I also had a meal by the way." Gu Yin said casually.
The eldest brother Gu Chenrui was surprised when he heard this, "The emperor actually gave you a meal?"
Most people don’t have this kind of treatment. If you tell others about it, they will be envious to death.
Gu Yin nodded disapprovingly, "Yes, but I ate it with the emperor and empress."
After saying this, Gu Yin didn't give anyone time to react and directly brought up the matter of the club's business, asking for their opinions.
"I plan to open a club in Beijing. I need to raise funds and am trying to get people to invest. Does anyone have any idea of investing?"
“Investing means…?” Gu Chenrui asked curiously.
"Well...if you compare this business to a big pie, then divide this big pie into several pieces. You will get a corresponding proportion of the pie according to the amount of money you invest. If you make money in the future, the profit will be shared with you according to this proportion." Gu Yin explained.
"I see, it's just about doing business together." Gu Chenrui summed it up in one sentence.
Gu Yin gave a thumbs up, "That's right. Now we need to raise 200,000 taels of silver, and these 200,000 taels account for 30% of the shares. I wonder if everyone is willing to invest. If you want to invest, the starting price is 10,000 taels."
"Ten thousand taels!" Yang exclaimed. Where did the Gu family get so much money?
"Oh, by the way, the land of this club belongs to the emperor." Gu Yin added lightly.
Yang immediately fell silent. With the emperor joining in, the situation was completely different.
"So the backer behind this business is the emperor. Are you serious?" Gu Zheng asked after thinking for a moment.
Gu Yin nodded.
"How confident are you that you can do it?" Gu Zheng continued to ask.
Gu Yin replied, "Eighty percent."
"Okay! Then our Gu family will invest 20,000 taels!" Gu Zheng made the decision.
"Grandpa, have you really thought it through?" Gu Yin confirmed, "Once you confirm the investment, you can't regret it, and you need to take out the 20,000 taels at any time!"
Gu Zheng nodded, "Don't worry, Grandpa will give you the silver in a few days!"
Others in the Gu family were worried, but Gu Zheng glared at them and said, "No one can stop this. If it weren't for the fourth girl, such a good thing wouldn't have happened to our family!"
"Although it's not easy to get 20,000 taels at once, the whole family can always come up with it if they work hard."
The head of the family made the final decision, and the Gu family had no choice but to obey. However, the person behind this business was the emperor, so they had nothing to fear. However, since they had to take out so much money at once, they would have to spend it sparingly for a long time...
"Grandpa, why don't you think about it carefully again? Once the money is invested, it is still unknown whether it will be a loss or a profit. Moreover, even if it can make a profit, it will take a while for the dividends to come out..." Gu Yin advised. She was worried that the Gu family would go all in, and if something unexpected happened to the club business, it would be all over.
Gu Zheng glared, "Life is a gamble even if you don't gamble!"
After that, he looked around and said, "I have a good idea about this matter. Don't worry too much! If you always look ahead and behind, you will only miss the opportunity!"
Having said this, Gu Yin stopped trying to persuade him, and she was confident that she could run this club well.
After getting 20,000, there were 180,000 left. Gu Yin was thinking about who to contact first.
However, before she could take any action, Ye Ningxin came to the capital!
