The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 984 - 982: Foresight

"Additionally, the Chu’s Restaurant is only rated one-star, and we must think of ways to raise the star level. Although we are small in scale, as far as I know, there are some special private dining restaurants in several main countries, which limit their service to a few tables per day, and they have already become Four to Five Stars Spiritual Food restaurants. It’s best if we transform Chu’s Restaurant into a boutique private dining restaurant. However, if we’re aiming to become a regular Spiritual Food restaurant, both the location and storefront are insufficient, and we might need to acquire a larger, established Spiritual Food restaurant. I think somewhere like Taoyao Pavilion or De Yue Building would be perfect. Once acquired, we can directly utilize the Spiritual Delicacy Masters, staff, and even the customer base there. I see we have quite a bit of money in the accounts, so you might want to consider it carefully."

Mu Yi continued.

Chu’s Restaurant is only a one-star, and the Spiritual Delicacies available for sale are far too limited.

Yet, the account books of Chu’s Restaurant show there’s a surplus of several thousand taels, which astonished Mu Yi.

She thought, given the rundown state of Chu’s Restaurant, producing such Ultimate Lingxiu Buns and sugar lotus root must come with high material costs, leading to consistent annual losses.

Only after inquiring did she realize that all the ingredients used at Chu’s Restaurant, including honey lotus root and cabbage, were procured and delivered by Xin Lin, supposedly from a distant relative’s place, and thus the cost was extremely low.

All the revenue from buns and sugar lotus root at Chu’s Restaurant has been kept within the restaurant.

Mu Yi also calculated the accounts and estimated conservatively that with this kind of influence, Chu’s Restaurant could have an income of tens of thousands of gold coins in a month.

This profitability rivals some medium-sized Two to Three Stars Spiritual Food restaurants.

This was why Mu Yi had the confidence to want to merge with Taoyao Pavilion or De Yue Building.

Taoyao Pavilion, after Yang Su, hasn’t recruited a suitable head chef, and its business has been declining day by day. With Xin Lin having half ownership, acquiring it is the most convenient.

As for De Yue Building, after Master Chen got injured, coupled with De Yue Building being seized by Emperor Longteng, it is now in ruins, and De Yue Building recently released news about being for sale.

Mu Yi rattled on.

Xin Lin listened in surprise, while Ma Jingtian was even more astounded.

With both of them staring at her, Mu Yi blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I’m just stating some possibilities, so if there’s anything inappropriate, please don’t laugh."

"No, no, no, you are absolutely right. You’ve expressed my exact thoughts."

Xin Lin praised profusely.

She herself was ultimately a novice in business operations.

Having Mu Yi’s assistance is really great.

"Yes, Little Mu, you’re incredible. If we truly can acquire De Yue Building or Taoyao Pavilion, that would be remarkable!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Ma Jingtian was delighted.

"It’s easy to talk about but hard to accomplish, I’ve calculated it too. Acquiring Taoyao Pavilion, even with only half ownership, would cost about 300,000 taels; as for De Yue Building, it’s even more expensive, around 700,000 taels. Furthermore, dealing with such Four-star Spiritual Food restaurants like De Yue Building and Taoyao Pavilion requires permission from the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association to complete the transaction."

Tens of thousands of taels is undoubtedly a significant amount for Xin Lin.

"Regarding silver taels, I’ll think of ways to raise them, but who has the current say at the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association?"

Xin Lin asked.

The Spiritual Cuisine Master Association governs Spiritual Food restaurants, and for industry stability, transactions involving large Spiritual Food restaurants need permission. Master Ji had previously mentioned this to Xin Lin.
