Chapter 1571: 1571 Su Qingyue is a big sucker1

Jia Baoyu set this price, but he also felt it was expensive. The surrounding mountain tops were only a few thousand taels, and he just wanted to slaughter him fiercely, but he was afraid the other party would not buy, so he said, "Twenty-nine thousand taels then."

"Only one thousand taels less per mountain, that won’t do," Su Qingyue said, "I also inquired about the mountain owned by the Liao Residence next door, and they are willing to sell for just five thousand taels, with room for negotiation. I just hope my ancestors bless me to be more prosperous. How about this, you give me the same price as the Liao Residence, five thousand taels per mountain. I’ll buy both at the same time."

"Feng Shui Masters have said that my two mountains have better Feng Shui, of course, they should be more expensive. The mountain from the Liao Residence can’t compare to mine. Twenty thousand taels per mountain, for the sake of your ancestors, it’s only right to spend a little more, it can’t get any lower..."

"That’s too expensive, I might as well look elsewhere..."

"We can negotiate, we can negotiate..." Jia Baoyu hurriedly asked him to sit down.

After some haggling, they finally agreed on a total of twenty thousand taels for both mountain tops.

Jia Baoyu, fearing that Su Qingyue would change his mind, went to the government office that day and processed the transfer paperwork, selling him five shopfronts as well.

When Jia Baoyu returned to the Mansion from the government office, Lady Jia saw his face was full of joy and asked, "Master, you looked worried this morning, why are you so happy suddenly?"

"I sold the two mountain tops in the suburbs of the capital."

"Oh, those two mountains, eh? Planting fruit trees that never bear fruit every year, we’ve been losing money to death. You bought them for three thousand taels, and nobody wanted them even for one thousand taels," Lady Jia complained, "How could you have had such poor judgment to buy those mountains, almost got stuck with them."

"I met a big fool today, a young lad who doesn’t understand business. I sold those two mountains for twenty thousand taels."

Lady Jia’s eyes widened, "Sold for that much money? Then with this one sale, weren’t you making a profit of fourteen thousand taels?"

"That’s right," Master Jia said with a joyful face, "and also our five shopfronts, which I originally didn’t want to sell, but I marked them up by ten percent over the market price and sold them for a five percent discount, making a five percent profit on each. I figured why not just sell them off. If we like shopfronts, we can buy elsewhere."

"Oh my, Master, doesn’t that mean our house has made a huge profit?"

"It is," Jia Baoyu smiled so wide his teeth were bared, "No need to talk about turning funds, even for making additional acquisitions we’ll have leftover money, hahaha... It’s really luck, to encounter someone so foolish and rich."

"Heh, isn’t that just running into a wastrel,"

"Exactly. I saw that young Master Su was young, probably just took over his family’s business, lacking experience, spending money like running water, and not understanding profit. It’s none of our concern, draining his pocket, fattening our wallets. We must celebrate well tonight..." Old Master Jia laughed, showing teeth without eyes.

At the Su Mansion, Su Qingyue also had a face full of pleasure, "These two mine mountains were bought rather smoothly. It’s just that I bought five additional shopfronts, each costing five percent more."

Yinzhu followed behind her, "Young Lady, knowing that the shopfronts were more expensive, why did you still buy them? Wouldn’t it be better to just buy the mine mountains and not the shopfronts?"

"That won’t do," Qingyue laughed, "If I didn’t buy the shopfronts together, looking like a big foolish spender, Mr. Jia once he checks on those two mountains, it wouldn’t be hard to find out they contain mines. It’s quite good now, I spent much less than what I anticipated."

"Master, I saw how eager Old Master Jia was before closing the deal, as if deeply afraid you’d back out. He must be rejoicing at home now," Yinzhu said, "He has no idea those two are treasure moutains, thinking he scored a great bargain."
