Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Xiaomeng returned to the inn and found the innkeeper. "Good morning, Sister Mu. May I ask you something?"

Sister Mu was a very charming woman in her thirties. She gave Xiaomeng a flirtatious look and asked softly, "Good morning, Miss Xiaomeng. What can I do for you? Please ask."

“I have a friend whose family used to run a guesthouse in the old town, but they have to close down because of sewage treatment issues.”

I'd like to ask around for her. How was this situation at our guesthouse handled? Has this area been renovated and had the sewage connected to a sewage treatment plant? How did they do it? Could you tell me? I want to help my friend.

Upon hearing Xiaomeng's question, Sister Mu chuckled, "Your friend is really lucky to have met you."

Sister Mu slightly raised her chin. "That's right. Our inn has been renovated, and the sewage is now being piped to the sewage treatment plant through the modified pipes, which is why we were able to open for business."

After Mu Jie finished speaking, she smiled and turned to look at Xiao Meng, "Since you are Lao Wang's friend, I'll tell you. The pipeline renovation in this ancient city is very complicated and may take a long time to complete. At least several years."

By the way, which area is your friend's guesthouse located in?

Xiao Meng thought for a moment, "It seems to be the Moon Shadow Street area."

"Moonshadow Street? I heard the main sewage pipe project on Moonshadow Street is about to start digging, but... each household will have to pay part of the cost for the small pipes going into their homes." Fearing Xiaomeng might not understand, Sister Mu added, "Our situation here is different from big cities. The local government isn't as wealthy. Have your friend prepare the money. You'll need to find a construction team to install the sewage pipes in time. If you miss that deadline, it'll be difficult. You can't just dig and build anywhere in the ancient city."

Xiaomeng told the shopkeeper all the information she had found out, "Miss Duan, you can ask your friends to find out how much it costs per meter for privately laid pipes in these inns around here. You should raise the money quickly."

After hearing this, the shop owner, Miss Duan, was very grateful to Xiaomeng for helping her find out the information. It was not easy to find such information unless one had some ability and was well-informed, especially for ordinary farmers like them.

Xiaomeng asked her how much money she could earn each month by selling tie-dyed handicrafts at her stall.

Ms. Duan said that her business income is not very stable. During the peak season, she can earn three to four thousand yuan a month, while during the off-season, she can only earn one to two thousand yuan.

Xiaomeng immediately asked Miss Duan how many cloth bags and scarves she could dye in a month of full-time production, and what their prices would be.

Then, I paid 50,000 yuan directly to place an order, asking Miss Duan to do her best to make tie-dyed handmade cloth bags and tie-dyed scarves, and then send them to her in Beijing by express delivery.

She plans to buy the goods from Miss Duan and sell them in her own shop.

These unique handicrafts would surely attract a lot of interest in a roadside shop in Beijing. After all, the number of tourists within Beijing's Third Ring Road far exceeds that of this small ancient city.

Miss Duan knew that Xiaomeng was helping her, and her family really needed to do more business to raise money. She was very excited and bowed repeatedly to Xiaomeng, promising to dye the goods as soon as possible and send them to Xiaomeng.

Seeing that Miss Duan was cheerful and sensible, Xiaomeng was pleased. She told Miss Duan that if these products sold well in Beijing, the two of them could establish a long-term cooperative relationship.

Miss Duan naturally agreed and resolved to remember Xiaomeng's help.
