Chapter 224: Wealth

Yu Yu hurriedly asked, "Wen Hui, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Wen Hui said with a smile: "When I came, I found that this Shanghai city is very atmospheric, the city is very large, and the main facilities are complete, such as neat streets, good sewers, and even houses on several main streets. But it's all empty. Why don't we sell it? ”

Ma Mingsong said with a smile: "These houses are all shops that we have built, all with yards, the outside is the shop, the inside is the yard, you can store goods, you can do business, it is very convenient, there are small rivers behind the yard, you can dock smaller boats, direct access to the dock, so that the goods can directly reach the dock." In front of the shop pΓΉ is a spacious bluestone road, flat and clean. Of course, such a good design has to be sold, and it is ready to be sold for a good price. However, now that we are still under construction, where can anyone buy it? ”

Wen Hui smiled: "This is true." Such a good design is convenient for others to do business in the future and engage in business related to maritime trade. The first thing to do is to make us successful in sea trade first, for example, our fleet reaches a country overseas, obtains a lot of profits, and pulls back rare things from overseas. In this way, everyone knows the importance of sea trade, and they will rush to Shanghai City to do business. So, if we can hold on until that time, we will make a profit just by selling the shops in Shanghai City. However, far water can't quench the thirst of the near. If we don't think about it now, we won't be able to build it. So, I think it's better to sell the house first. We can plan the city of Shanghai and sell a few important streets first, which we will call the first phase of the project. The first phase of the project is naturally cheaper, for example, selling for one or two silver. We took a tael of silver and went to build a better city and a shipyard. If you go overseas to do business, you have to leave some houses for the second phase of construction. In this way, when the houses in the second phase are built, the people in the first phase have already started to do business. Earn a little bit of money. This will attract more people to buy the second phase. At this time, we will sell the second phase for two taels of silver. Then take these two taels of silver to continue the sea trade and continue to build the third phase. When the third phase is completed, the second phase has already made money, and the first phase is even more prosperous, so that more people will buy the third phase, and we will sell the third phase for three taels of silver at this time. Then go to build the fourth phase. Shanghai City is so big, I don't think it's a problem to sell seven or eight issues. In this way, we have a constant stream of money. ”

Ma Mingsong's eyes lit up when he heard this. Princess Lichuan calculated. Chen Wenjun reacted quickly and said, "But." Sister, in this way, when the city is built, the seven or eight phases will be sold out. We solved the problem of money, but we didn't make any money, so it would be nice to get back our 10 million taels of silver. Aren't we busy with this? ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "We really made money at that time." According to the emperor, the city was built by a few of us. A few of us can manage him, except for paying a part of the taxes to the court, the rest is ours. We're going to sell so many houses by then. There is such a big difference between the price of the first phase and the price of the seventh and eighth phases, so it is natural that there will be people buying and selling houses. We have to pay taxes on every sale. Also, when a city is built in this way, there are more people and more business, and there will be more commercial taxes. In addition to these, we also have the huge interests of sea trade. So, making money is for sure. I conservatively estimate that each of us will not only have to recover its costs, but also have at least ten times the profit. ”

Everyone was shocked, how much is ten times, it is 100 million silver. That's a huge number. After thinking for a while, the princess said: "Wen Hui's idea is very good, and we can solve our current problems at once, but we haven't sailed to the sea yet, and no one is optimistic about us, who will sell the house in the first phase to first?" Does anyone want to buy it? ”

Wen Hui didn't answer, but asked Ma Mingsong: "Brother Ma, if the store pΓΉ wants to sell it now, will your Ma family buy it?" ”

Ma Mingsong said with a smile: "When I first built it, I made a reservation to buy it. ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "Brother Ma is really a shrewd businessman, he has been planning to buy it for a long time." Brother Ma, are there many far-sighted and smart businessmen like you in our Chu Dynasty? ”

Ma Mingsong said humbly: "Where can I be considered smart and far-sighted, this Great Chu Dynasty has a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are more shrewd businessmen." In this Jiangnan area alone, Suzhou Province does not know how many shrewd businessmen there are. Hey, yes, I see what Wen Hui meant. ”

Ma Mingsong suddenly realized, the princess was still confused, Chen Wenjun reacted first and said: "Well, Brother Ma can understand the truth, will those shrewd businessmen not understand?" Brother Ma knows that he has to invest in advance, and those shrewd businessmen in Jiangnan are so close, will they not want to invest in advance? ”

At this moment, the princess and the colt both understood, and couldn't help but look at Wen Hui with complicated eyes. thought in his heart, when the fourth prince said that his business would be taken care of by Chen Wenlin and Chen Wenhui, they didn't care. Chen Wenlin is just that, they all know, they are very capable, and they are very smart. This Wen Hui is a girl, only ten years old, can she do such a big thing? Who knows, this is just the beginning, Chen Wenhui gave them a surprise. First of all, they were shocked by such a fast calculation speed, and they were so surprised that they came up with such a good idea.

Wen Hui continued: "If we do this, what we have to do now is three things, first, we must do our best to let the sea ship go to sea, even if it is to run close to it first, as long as we make a little money, it is the best publicity." Second, we need to price our shops. I don't think I can sell it cheaply. Of course, it can't be compared with the shops in Beijing and Suzhou City, but it can't be lower than Qingyang City. Three, we need to mobilize our relationship and get the word out about the sale of the house. There are not many houses in the first phase, and our own friends and relatives, plus us, can probably buy them all. ”

Ma Mingsong, the princess, and the colt all nodded in agreement.

Princess Lichuan smiled and said, "Wen Hui, how did your little head grow?" is so smart and does things so orderly, it really compares my sister to me. ”

Wen Hui laughed: "I said this casually, and I still have to discuss specific things with my sister and brothers, so I don't understand these." Where's that smart? ”

Princess Lichuan smiled and did not speak. Then he said, "Speaking of this sea trade, I would like to say that we have not yet built a great fortune ship, but we have already built a lot of small clippers. Sailors and sailors are almost trained, and if they run close to convenient places, such as the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, etc., it is okay. You know, we still have such a detailed chart provided by the fourth. There was a ready-made shipping route to Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom on that chart, which should be safe. However, Goguryeo is just that, and there are some good things. For example, ginseng, rice and so on. This country is poor and ruined, where is there anything to trade with us? ”

Wen Hui laughed when she heard this. In the previous life, the people of that small island country were arrogant and annoying, and Wen Hui even reluctantly stopped using the cosmetics they produced in order to resist the country's goods in her previous life. Now this country has a headache because of the lack of special production capacity and Dachu transactions.

In fact, this island country really has no special products, the place is small, there are many volcanoes, many earthquakes, and there are no minerals. Of course, it can't be said that there are none, in fact, there are still many of them, one is silver mines, and the other is rich in sulfur. Everyone knows about sulfur, and they know that this thing is made in this country, but there is very little use of sulfur, so everyone chooses to ignore it. But silver mines? This time is not well known.

Princess Lichuan said: "Seeing that Sister Wen Hui is smart, I ask her everything, how old is she, how many places can she walk, and where can I know what good things are in the country?" In fact, Wen Hui is already good. The ordinary ladies of the Great Chu Dynasty don't even know what the Wa Kingdom is. ”

When everyone thought about it, they were asking too much.

Wen Hui was speechless, and said with a smile: "There are also good things in the Japanese country." First, the Wa Kingdom also produced grain. Farming is a very hard thing, why don't we let the people of foreign countries plant it, our people can exchange some rough porcelain and inferior silk for food, why not? ”

Ma Mingsong said: "However, there are few people in the country, and their own food is not enough to eat. In fact, the quality of the rice produced in Japan is very good. ”

Wen Hui laughed: "It's not our people, we don't feel distressed, they are all starving to death, as long as they are willing to sell, we are willing to buy, buy and sell, fair trade, how many people starve to death?" Their lords are not worried, so what are we worried about? It is best for the officials to force the people to rebel, so that the people in the country can no longer live, and rise up to rebel against the nobles of the Japanese country, so that the world is in chaos, so we can take the opportunity to grasp a few nobles of the Japanese country, let them use it for us, and then we can go to get the most important things of the Japanese country. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, who would have thought that Wen Hui, a handsome little girl like a pearl and jade dew, could say such a vicious strategy. Even the brothers Wen Jun and Wen Lin thought in their hearts, their sister had never used such a vicious strategy, and it seemed that they hated this Japanese country, but my sister had never been to the Japanese country, nor had she seen the Japanese people, where did the hatred come from?

Halfway through, Wen Jun coughed and said, "That Wen Hui, did you come up with this idea yourself?" The deep art of war. Although it is a bit vicious, the truth is correct. I think it's doable. "Just kidding, my own sister, of course, has to support it.

Ma Mingsong also reacted at this time, and said to Wen Hui: "That, Wen Hui, what is the important thing you said?" ”
