Chapter 269 - Investment Promotion
Values should be simple and correct.
The shopkeeper should do a good job of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper rubs the guest's wine and drinks, which is not professional, and will make the guest very embarrassed, and I don't know whether to tip the guest when checking out.
What if this beautiful female shopkeeper also works part-time as a bartender? That would be even more unpleasant.
Spend clear money and be an upright person.
Huangfu Sisi was stunned for a long time, looking at Gu Qing blankly, still unable to believe that he would actually drive away her, a charming beauty, this is something she has never encountered, in the past, the guests in the inn saw her like a dog saw a bone, and they almost waged their tails and licked them, but the man in front of him regarded her as nothing, and he paid much more attention to the wine and food on the table than to her.
Han Jie's posture of holding the cup also froze, and he looked at Gu Qing with a strange expression.
Gu Qing said innocently: "Why did you suddenly look at me with adoring eyes? ”
Han Jie retracted his gaze, coughed and said, "My eyes are not worship, it's just ...... Forget it, if you're happy. ”
Gu Qing raised his eyes and looked at Huangfu Sisi: "Why don't you leave yet?" ”
Huangfu Sisi came back to his senses and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Concubine...... Yes, the concubine body is retired, and the guest officer can call the concubine at any time if necessary. ”
Gu Qing waved his hand and said, "What I need is not to bother me, let me have a good meal." ”
Huangfu Sisi stared at Gu Qing's back, glanced at him hatefully, bit his lower lip, turned around and left.
Han Jie looked at Huangfu Sisi's back and said softly, "Master Hou, is this girl good?" ”
"It's not bad, she should be the first beauty in Qiuzi Town, maybe there is something better looking than her in Qinglou, in the end, I don't know enough......"
Han Jie was curious: "Master Hou thinks she is very good-looking, why do you want to drive her away without pretense about her?" ”
Gu Qing was puzzled: "If you don't drive her away, what are you doing here?" ”
"Didn't Master Hou see that this woman wanted to take the initiative to get acquainted with you?"
"So what? I'm here to eat, not to make friends, Brother Han, you have to concentrate on being a person and doing things, don't be distracted, especially for something as important as eating, let alone be distracted. ”
Han Jie didn't know why he was panicked, this Hou Ye's thinking was so strange, he couldn't penetrate Hou Ye's inner world at all, are the successful people in the world thinking about problems so different? So at the age of twenty, he was named a county marquis, and he is now just a temporary lieutenant.
Han Jie decided to seriously explore the brain circuits of successful people, maybe he can gain something, and he may be able to worship the generals in the future.
"Hou Ye has never married, even if he does, there is such a beautiful woman who takes the initiative to come to meet you, why is Hou Ye rejected thousands of miles away? Even if it's for dinner, don't delay making friends. ”
Gu Qing took a sip of wine and asked slowly, "Brother Han, let me ask you, is that female shopkeeper a woman from a good family?" ”
"It should be, opening an inn is a business."
"How long can we eat in one meal?"
"Probably...... Half an hour? ”
Gu Qing nodded: "First of all, it is impossible for me to marry this female shopkeeper as my wife, I want to marry someone else, and secondly, this is an inn, a place where I am running a living, not a green building, so I can't touch the woman from a good family here if I want to, and I can be irresponsible after touching, in this short half an hour, I am not sure to persuade this woman to marry me as a concubine willingly......"
Gu Qing paused and said slowly: "Then, you tell me that in only half an hour, I can't touch it, and I can't marry it, why should I make her a friend?" Why should I waste my time on this meaningless and fruitless thing? ”
Han Jie was dumbfounded and looked at Gu Qing as if he was stupid.
So, is this the real inner world of successful people? Why do you think this bizarre statement that seems to be nonsense makes sense, and it is completely impossible to refute it?
Then Han Jie suddenly became excited, as if he had found a logical loophole, and hurriedly said: "However, just making a friend is not in the way, why did Master Hou reject her so ruthlessly?" ”
Gu Qing said again: "When eating, outsiders chirp crookedly next to me, when I meet this kind of person, I usually slap him in the face and make him shut up, I will never be interested in making friends with him, making this kind of long-winded friend will bring you a lot of troubles in your future life, I am a person from the past, believe me." ”
Han Jie immediately pursed his mouth and obediently buried his head in eating.
Gu Qing smiled again: "If this verbose person has become friends with me, I won't mind, don't worry, you can continue to be verbose and not smoke you." ”
When she left the checkout, Huangfu Sisi sent Gu Qing to the door of the inn, her eyes were quite complicated, Gu Qing didn't have time to study the meaning in her eyes, turned around and left.
After Gu Qing left. Huangfu Sisi was still standing at the door of the inn, muttering with a puzzled expression: "What kind of person is this?" Why do you think he's a little abnormal? ”
It's so abnormal, no one can ignore her beauty, and even let her not get off the stage in public.
"The savior of the Son of Heaven, the marquis of the county, and the deputy envoy of the official worship festival...... Oh, interesting. ”
Huangfu Sisi's eyes were filled with coldness.
At the beginning, her father was also a prince, the official worship festival envoy, the Son of Heaven made her family ruin with an edict, and now the tiger girl has to be controlled by others, is this person named Gu Qing also the same as the officials in Chang'an who framed her father, is he an indiscriminate person?
…………
The notice of the Anxi Jiedu Embassy was plastered all over the city the next day.
It was as if a spoonful of boiling oil had been poured over the town of Qiuzi, and it boiled instantly.
This is a typical notice to attract investment, and if later historians find it in the ruins, they will be amazed.
For the first time, funds were raised in the form of public offering for the expansion of the city and the construction of the city.
Merchants have always been fat, but merchants are also the most realistic type of people, they never spend unnecessary money, if they want to make them willing to pay for the silver, then they must give enough benefits, the benefits are so great that they think they have taken advantage of the money, the money will be paid willingly.
Early in the morning, many merchants spontaneously gathered outside the gate of the Jiedu Embassy, standing timidly from afar, and the mighty guards at the gate made them dare not approach half a step.
The flow of people is getting more and more, there are not many residents in Qiuzi Town, and there are even more merchants coming and going than permanent residents, and the news of investment promotion soon spread throughout the city, and the notice was posted in less than an hour, and the merchants outside the mansion have gathered hundreds of people.
These merchants were dressed in different costumes, half of them were exotic fancy robes of the Western Regions, and half of them were the gorgeous silk robes of the Tang Dynasty.
There was no result for a long time, but Gu Qing slowly walked out of the Jiedu Envoy's mansion.
Gu Qing has been wandering around Qiuzi Town all day these days, and many businessmen have seen him, some of them are well-informed and already know his identity, and some of them don't know yet.
Gu Qing walked in front of the businessmen, with a warm smile on his face, and Han Jie next to him introduced loudly that this is the new deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, who is currently in charge of expanding the city and building the city, and the notice was posted by him.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and then a businessman in his fifties who looked highly respected was elected out, stepped forward to take off his hat, bowed to Gu Qing, and said in a relatively blunt Datang Guanzhong dialect: "Old Hursong, from the Tocharian Khanate, dare to ask Shangguan, is the notice posted in Qiuzi Town today true?" ”
Gu Qing held his arm with both hands and said with a smile: "Elder courtesy, don't dare to take it." If the notice is true, the official can guarantee it. ”
Kuersong's eyes flashed, and he said: "Qiuzi Town wants to expand the city, and the market will be added, so after the market is completed, can the investors give priority to choosing shops?" Can the price of the shop be less? ”
Gu Qingdao said: "The price of the shop can not be less, if you invest now, you can give priority to the shop, everyone is a businessman, when you know the importance of the geographical location of the shop, the priority of choosing the shop is the first-mover advantage for the person who invests." As for the price of the shops, it is the price set by the government a long time ago, and the money from the sale of the shops will be used to strengthen the city wall and improve the livelihood of the people in Qiuzi Town in the future, so it must not be less. ”
"After the bazaar is completed, will the money we contributed be returned?"
"Of course it can be repaid, the so-called fund-raising, in fact, is that the government borrows money from the businessmen, and the borrowed money is naturally to be repaid, but the interest is gone, your interest is all in the right to give priority to the choice of shops, the future Qiuzi Town, will become a link between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty, is a pearl in the desert, its geographical location will become more and more important, its market will become more and more prosperous, can occupy a foothold in this prosperous place in advance, and you can weigh the pros and cons yourself."
Hursong turned around and discussed a few words in a low voice with the merchants, and then asked, "This Shangguan, can you give priority to choosing a few more shops if you pay more?" ”
Gu Qing said with a smile: "That's right, the money is based on 500 guan, for every 500 guan, you can give priority to choosing a shop, the more you can choose, the more shops you can choose, if you invest 50,000 guan in one go, I will give you the entire street of the new market." Not only that, but after the investors settle in the shops in the new market, the government will also give you a preferential policy of 20 taxes and 1 tax for three years. ”
Hursong hesitated for a moment and said, "Shangguan's words, can you count?" Don't blame the heart of the old and decrepit villain, it is really the untouchables who are unable to compete with the government, if after the market is built, the government does not admit it, and we and other merchants will be unlucky. ”
Gu Qing said solemnly: "I am the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, or the county marquis of His Majesty's Qinfeng, my words are the words of the Tang Dynasty, I can swear to you here, the words on the notice will be fulfilled, and there will be no words." ”
Hursong was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, the old man will invest three thousand yuan today!" In the future, the old decay will give priority to six shops! ”
Hursson was the first to speak, and the merchants behind were startled, and then the crowd suddenly boiled.
"I'm out a thousand!"
"I'll go out five hundred!"
"I'll go out for two thousand!"
Gu Qing beckoned someone to call out the scribes in the mansion and record the merchants' capital contributions in turn.
When the crowd was boiling, Gu Qing suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "All the merchants who will travel to and from various countries in the future, welcome to bring craftsmen with craftsmanship from all over the world to Qiuci Town, Qiuci Town will build a new workshop area outside the city in the future, for craftsmen to build good crafts, such as goldware, silverware, needlework, lacquerware, etc., can come to Qiuci Town to settle down, and the government will have a heavy reward." ”
The crowd was stunned for a moment, and the businessman with a lively brain suddenly thought of something, and his face showed a look of enlightenment.
After Gu Qing finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, the smile on his face getting deeper and deeper.
A single commercial development is not enough, this important town in the northwest also needs to develop industry, with self-production and self-sufficiency industry, coupled with prosperous commerce, within three years, Qiuzi Town will become a city that cannot be ignored by the countries of the Western Regions.
Entering the mansion gate, Gu Qing met Feng Changqing head-on.
Feng Changqing's face was cold, and when he saw Gu Qing, he just scribbled a salute.
Gu Qing also smiled at him, every time he saw him, he always felt that God was very unfair, this guy's facial features were like Nuwa Niangniang who was drunk, and pinched a villain in order to rush to work, it was enough to have hands and feet, and the facial features were pinched randomly, so he grew into this appearance of displacement.
"Gu Xianhou, is it too unseemly for the government to borrow money from businessmen? Xia Guan has been an official in Qiuzi Town for many years, and when he sees a merchant in the future, does he want to surrender his identity, as if he owes a debt to a merchant? Feng Changqing's tone was dissatisfied.
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's just normal fundraising, how can it be out of place?" The government is short of money, so it is normal to borrow it from the private sector to turn around. ”
Feng Changqing snorted coldly: "Xia Guan has never heard that the government has a precedent for borrowing money from private businessmen, Gu Xianhou has set a precedent, Xia Guan still wants to ask, what if the money is not paid in the future?" What should the businessman do if he can't recover the money and besiege the Jiedu Embassy? ”
"How could it not be? Four new bazaars, each with hundreds of shops, will be sold for the money they pay each year, and the taxes paid by the merchants every year will not be a fraction, and the money will be paid off within two years after completion. ”
Feng Changqing shook his head: "Please forgive the lower official for not being able to understand ......"
Gu Qing gradually lost his patience, and suddenly interrupted him: "If you can't understand, do what I say, you don't need to understand, in another half a year, you will know whether what I did was right or wrong." ”
Feng Changqing was so choked that he couldn't speak, staring at him blankly with a pair of fish bubble eyes.
Gu Qing pointed at him unfinished, and said unceremoniously: "Judge Feng, you don't seem to be able to figure out your own position, and you are also very rude to me, don't you understand the rules of superiority and inferiority?" ”
Feng Changqing suddenly came to his senses at this time, the young Hou Ye in front of him didn't seem to have a good temper, I heard that he had personally beheaded a thorn Shi in Chang'an, obviously at this moment, this Hou Ye's temper was stimulated again.
So Feng Changqing hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's the lower official who was rude, and the lower official was in a hurry just now......"
"There is no need to apologize, write a 10,000-word review to me tonight, deeply reflect on your mistakes, 10,000 words, not a word is missing!"
Feng Changqing was stunned: "Review...... What is it? ”
It is a written document that reflects on one's own wrongdoing, carefully writes down why one's mistakes were made, and deeply reflects on how to do one's words and deeds so that you will not make the same mistakes again. Go for it, ten thousand words. ”
