At midnight, after finishing, Mu Shaoyang left after receiving a phone call. Mai Jiaqi knew it was a woman and didn't show any emotional fluctuations. She knew her place, not to mention Mu Shaoyang gave her 10,000 yuan when he left. How could she have any complaints?
The next day, as the sun climbed high, she slept soundly, put on her makeup, had a free breakfast, and headed straight to the pedestrian street. On the way, she had just received the money transferred by Mu Shaoyang, and she was smiling so happily, as if it was her own money.
With a fortune in her hands, her demeanor changed. As the saying goes, money is the courage of a hero and gold is the belt of a man. Looking at Mai Jiaqi's gait, you could tell she was walking with her nostrils in the air.
"Boss."
In the Maruko shop next to Yeqinxiang, it wasn't even open for business yet. Seeing a customer arrive, Huang Danian's spirit immediately perked up. He shouted with full vigor, "What flavor do you want, miss? Original, sweet, sweet and spicy, mayonnaise, salty... There's nothing I can't do with Marukos that you can't imagine."
"Miss your sister! You're the miss!" This might have hit a sore spot for Mai Jiaqi, and she immediately got annoyed. Her small, dragon-eye-like eyes widened to the size of an egg.
Huang Danian's mouth twitched. He really wanted to slap her, but customers are gods, and he couldn't refuse money. He immediately changed his tune and said with a fawning smile, "Bea... beautiful lady, I'm a rough man, don't take it personally. What flavor would you like?"
Mai Jiaqi snorted and didn't even bother to look at him.
"I just checked with the property management. Your lease expires in two months. Our Mu family needs this space, and we'll compensate you this amount. You should know about the Mu family, right?"
Mai Jiaqi held up two fingers and, using the Mu family's name, her eyes didn't even blink. Her expression was so convincing that it would be a waste not to be an actress.
"The Mu family?" Huang Danian couldn't recall for a moment and looked confused.
"Which other Mu family is there in Binhai?" Mai Jiaqi glared at him and shouted angrily.
"The seafood Mu family?" Huang Danian asked tentatively.
Mai Jiaqi nodded in response.
Huang Danian's eyes narrowed, and he gasped, his heart in a turmoil, breaking out in a cold sweat.
After catching his breath, he looked at Mai Jiaqi very seriously, as if trying to see the truth in her eyes. After a long while, unable to discern anything, he reluctantly gave up.
After a short while, Huang Danian sighed and agreed helplessly. He had elderly parents and young children to support, and he dared not gamble.
After coming out of the property management office, Huang Danian had two more ten thousand yuan bills in his hand, but his eyes were filled with reluctance and helplessness. He shook his head, thinking about where to find a new path.
Mai Jiaqi, also emerging from the property management office, was overjoyed and extremely happy. She could acquire a shop for twenty thousand yuan, which would give her more room to operate and her wallet would surely be plump.
The happier she thought about it, the faster she went to the shop next to the Yeqinxiang branch. Following the same pattern, she spent fifty thousand yuan and acquired it.
"Young Master Yang, the shops have been secured." After acquiring the two shops, Mai Jiaqi immediately reported to Mu Shaoyang to claim credit, but she didn't mention the price.
"Well done. You don't need to worry about the renovation and supplies; I've already made arrangements. Just get the shop equipment ready. We'll open in a few days. You can keep an eye on it for me. If we make a lot of money, you'll get your share."
Mu Shaoyang was very satisfied with Mai Jiaqi's swift actions and didn't ask about the money. He knew this woman was greedy, and having a capable assistant for this amount of money was worthwhile, not to mention she could also warm his bed.
When Mai Jiaqi heard this, she became even more enthusiastic. With the account books in her hands, then... hehe!
In fact, Mu Shaoyang wasn't the profligate second-generation rich heir as rumored. Born into such a family, he had gained some insight through constant exposure. When Mai Jiaqi mentioned that the two coconut shops could generate thousands of yuan in daily profit, he started to get an idea.
Although he was the sole heir of the Mu family, his father was still in his prime. By the time he took control of a fortune worth hundreds of billions, he would be almost fifty years old, and what would be the point of life then?
Moreover, he only received twenty million yuan in pocket money each year. If he didn't occasionally get some from his mother, how could he live so lavishly?
Mu Shaoyang hadn't considered starting a business, but he didn't have any spare money. Furthermore, those projects required a lot of capital, which he didn't have.
However, Li Haochen and the others' coconut shops gave him hope. Even if they only made a few thousand yuan a day, opening more shops would make a significant difference.
He didn't want to completely destroy Li Haochen right away. He wanted to squeeze out their shops first, collect some interest, and then seize their supply chain, and then slowly torment them. This was a plan with multiple benefits, so how could he let it pass? In the future, he would undoubtedly be a successful entrepreneur, perhaps even transitioning from a second-generation heir to a first-generation one. As he thought about it, Mu Shaoyang smiled.
On the other hand, Li Haochen and the others were unaware that a commercial crisis was brewing and continued to sing happily every day.
Yesterday, Li Haochen had harvested enough coconuts for three days of sales. Both shops were operating smoothly, so he didn't go there today. Of course, as the "boss's wife," Murong Yanran still had to go and preside over it, as it was her Haochen's business.
Li Haochen woke up and had a loving breakfast. Soon after, he received a call from Brother Dong, which made him ecstatic. He had only placed the order yesterday afternoon, and it arrived this morning. He had to give Brother Dong a thumbs up, and he even delivered it to his door.
Upon receiving the delivery, Li Haochen eagerly opened it. A Bosch 26dre stepless variable impact drill with a blue-black design and exquisite workmanship came into view, along with ten 22x350mm tungsten steel alloy drill bits.
He nodded in satisfaction, picked up the tools, and rushed towards the entrance of Butterfly Bay.
Yesterday, he had asked Huang Haibo to install more than a dozen large water pipes and string the electrical wires. It cost several thousand yuan, and Brother Dong's order was over a thousand. He hadn't even started making money yet, but he was already spending money like a pro.
At the end of September, the autumn heat was relentless. It wasn't even ten o'clock, and it was already making people miserable. On the short journey of a few hundred meters, Li Haochen arrived at the entrance of Butterfly Bay completely drenched.
He opened the gate, went inside, and took out his phone to test the surveillance. It was not bad; the footage was clear and there were no blind spots.
He took out the impact drill, installed the tungsten steel drill bit, plugged in the power, and gently pressed the button. "Zizizi..."
The strong recoil almost made Li Haochen fall on his backside. "Holy crap, this thing has some power."
He put on his sunglasses, held the impact drill, and coupled with his bronze, well-built physique, he looked somewhat like Louis Koo in "Anti-Corruption."
Li Haochen found a stable point, placed the drill bit against the large cliff rock, and pressed the power button with force.
"Zizizi..."
Suddenly, sand and stones flew, and dust billowed.
"Not bad, it truly lives up to its big brand name. 800W powerful horsepower, very stable."
Li Haochen was extremely satisfied with this Bosch impact drill. The rock was too hard, and it took at least two minutes to drill a hole 26 centimeters deep and 2.2 centimeters wide.
He took a 20mm diameter, 1-meter long cold-drawn round steel bar and inserted it. With the help of the rock powder, he had to use a hammer to drive the round steel in so that it was completely submerged.
Li Haochen pulled on it forcefully. It was quite firm. He stepped on it to test its hardness and nodded in satisfaction.
