Chapter no. 14
(Qin Zetian's POV)
We arrived in the bustling streets of the capital. I brought ten shadow guards with me, along with Lin Sha and Lin Tsu. While the princess only brought herself. She said she'd like to have freedom for once. The four of us walked and gather information about owners reselling their shops.
"Young miss those five shops ahead are already emptied, most of the vendors said those shops are haunted, customers will likely get mad when entering and eventually suffer a disease making them insane, the price of selling those shops are low but no one wants to buy the area. Even the owners hear countless of ghosts which sounded like they were wailing for justice in the middle of the night. So the owners decided to close the shops on their own."
"It is likely that they are reduced to bankruptcy, Lin Sha go ahead and find the owner, tell them I'd like to purchase all of the shops."
That maidservant of mine is efficient, in no time we are seated inside the abandoned building. The look on the owner's face is witless, it's more likely that someone has been scaring them off on purpose. Many businesses close on their own when the pursuers are powerful. Ordinary people like him will likely submit, but I'm no ordinary woman.
"Greetings young misses, I am the current owner
"It's not a problem, rest a.s.sured as long as the price is right I will happily purchase these shops."
"Thank you young miss, it has been so long since we have not gained any income at all and no one wants to purchase them. The price will be very reasonable and the doc.u.ments will be readied by tomorrow."
"Thank you sir, I will bring the money tomorrow and collect the legal doc.u.ments. I will also head to the bureau of the department of trades to legally transfer the owners.h.i.+p of these stores under my name. It has been nice doing business with you Mr. Fang"
The man was stunned. He hasn't even told us his name but the information I received from my maid is good enough.
We left early. Now that I acquired land, I need to tell my father about it so he won't be too surprised. The savings that I get from my family is already enough to buy me a land, so running a few shops won't be a problem. The previous owner of this body has a good hobby of saving money, she rarely went out of the household so her allowance goes to the bank right away. And I am thankful for that.
She might not be as smart as I am, but her ways of handling money has guaranteed her future's safety. When I get home I need to plan for the renovation of the area, and I will gladly ask my third uncle for help. I don't know anyone from the carpentry work, so the labor and the budgeting will need an expert to supervise and overlook the needs of the project.
"Princess aren't you hungry? I'm starving, come on let's take a stroll at these shops, we can eat on the way. If we happen to pa.s.s a restaurant we can drop by and eat something delicious too"
"Good idea! Ze'er, I never thought you'd be this proficient in business, it looks like you're not only playing games with this. Where will you get the money?"
"I rarely wander outside of the manor, and if I go out it will be my brothers paying for everything so my allowance goes straight to the bank. I have earned enough"
"You're so admirable!"
