After Wang Fugui returned to Chang'an, he became more energetic.

This trip to Goguryeo can be regarded as completely establishing his special status in the Datang business district.

After all, hundreds of merchants in Dengzhou have made a lot of money under the leadership of Wang Fugui.

Don't look at these merchants are basically selected from Dengzhou, but the people involved behind them are almost all the nobles in Datang.

After all, no matter how rich the money issued by the imperial court is, it cannot support the luxury of a large family, and every family has arranged for their children to enter the business world to solve economic problems for the family.

"Shopkeeper Wang, the houses in the workshop city have not sold very well in recent years. Since the beginning of this year, the price that has been rising can no longer go up. I made my own decision when I launched a new house last month, and when the price remains the same as at the beginning of the year, I can buy a house and give away an ordinary four-wheeled carriage, but I still haven't sold much. Today, there are more than 500 houses in our hands. ”

Wang Fugui had just been happy for a few days, and Liu Fang, who was in charge of the construction of the houses in the workshop city of Nanshan Construction Engineering, came over to block him.

There is no way, the house here can't be sold, and according to Li Kuan's previous plan, it is still under construction.

At that time, there will be more and more backlogs, which in turn will lead to more and more unstable prices.

The Tang people, like the people of later generations, buy a house to buy up, not down.

Although many craftsmen who work in the workshop city seem to be quite comfortable to live in when they see the houses in the workshop city, there are still not many who are really determined to buy them.

On the contrary, those merchants in the Datang Trading Center, for convenience, and because they are not bad for money, have bought a lot of houses in the workshop city.

"Didn't they all sell quite well last year? Why can't it be sold this year? ”

Wang Fugui was still smiling just now, and when he heard Liu Fang say this, his smile disappeared immediately.

The workshop city is the focus of Li Kuan's attention, and it is a key project for the development of the Chu Wangfu in the next two years.

Now it's just getting started, and this kind of thing has happened.

How does this work?

"Shopkeeper Wang, last year, it was mainly because of the popularity of the Datang Trading Center that it stimulated the sale of new houses in the workshop city. In addition, we said that we would build the Future Star Kindergarten, Mutual Aid Primary School and the branch library of the Affiliated Medical Center of Guanshishan Academy in Workshop City, so it stimulated the sales of the house.

However, in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, we did not have any new stimulus projects, and even many people felt that those workshops in the workshop city had now focused on Liaodong, and they had arranged for the craftsmen in the workshops to go to Liaodong to build a branch. So there are fewer people willing to buy a house here; And as soon as there are fewer people who buy this, the price will not go up, and even go down, so no one will buy it. ”

Liu Fang has been worried for several months, and naturally summed up the reason why the house cannot be sold.

In his opinion, the houses in Workshop City did not have any particularly obvious advantages compared with the various courtyards in Chang'an City.

After all, things like glass windows and toilets can also be done in the courtyard of Chang'an City.

In addition, the price of the houses in the workshop city is generally more expensive than that in Chang'an City, and the price is not half a star, which makes people dislike the houses here even more.

"But yesterday when I was having dinner in Diandude, I heard a lot of guests discussing buying a house. Why is it that it becomes difficult to sell when it comes to you? ”

Wang Fugui looked at Liu Fang very suspiciously.

He didn't suspect that Liu Fang would lie to him, but he had just returned from Liaodong, and he had been busy planning for the past few days, and he really hadn't figured out what the situation was in Workshop City.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm angry when I talk about this! As you know, our house in Workshop City relies on novel shapes, special materials, and comfortable living to impress people to buy. However, the Nawei family and the Du family jointly acquired a large piece of land in Chang'an City. The squares where these fields are located were originally vegetable fields and dilapidated yards for poor people.

After they bought it, they immediately demolished these dilapidated yards, and then almost exactly copied the houses in our workshop city, and launched the first phase of the houses in just two months, and sold them at almost the same price as us. You see, this house is about the same, and the price is about the same, but one is in Chang'an City, and the other is in Workshop City, and you can know where the guests will buy it with your toes. ”

The Wei family and the Du family are both natives of Chang'an City, and their strength is extraordinary.

Although in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is still a gap between them and the five surnames and Qiwang, but in the Guanzhong area, they are a first-class wealthy family.

Now that the Wei family and the Du family have joined forces to enter the real estate industry, it is no wonder that Liu Fang can't resist it.

"You mean to say that I heard those people discussing buying a house yesterday, and they were talking about the Wei family and the Du family's house?"

Wang Fugui didn't expect that during his time in Chang'an City, such a thing would happen.

There is a threshold for finding a house, but except for special buildings such as skyscrapers, it is really difficult to say how high the threshold is for other houses.

Now that the Wei family and the Du family have teamed up to imitate Nanshan Construction Engineering in Chang'an City to engage in real estate, it is really difficult to punish them.

Is it impossible to make the money in the world, and only the Chu Wangfu is allowed to earn it?

"Yes! They have demolished almost an entire house and now put out a new house for sale every month. ”

"I remember that there was no news when I went out at the beginning of the year, and in just over half a year, their construction progress was so fast?"

Wang Fugui was also very involved in the construction of the workshop city before, and he was also familiar with the situation inside.

Now I find that the house built by the two Weidu families is much faster than that of Nanshan Construction Engineering, which is really a bit incredible.

"Because they just demolished the house and then leveled the ground and started construction, they didn't build sewers on a large scale like we did. Even if there were, it was only symbolically a ditch dug on both sides of the road. In this way, the amount of construction is naturally much less, so the progress is faster than ours. I heard that the two of them are responsible for the construction of this land, and Wei Siren is still laughing at our Nanshan Construction Engineering in private. ”

Liu Fang was very aggrieved and explained there.

The construction of houses in Workshop City is carried out only after the construction of underground pipelines has been completed in advance.

In many cases, underground pipeline construction takes even more time than surface construction.

After all, a two-story house can be built in a week if it is built quickly enough.

However, it takes a lot of time to dig a large sewer and lay the sewer around it with cement and bricks.

Liu Fang and others have also suggested that the scale of the sewer should be made smaller, which can greatly reduce the amount of soil transported, and can also speed up and cut costs.

It's a pity that after this suggestion reached Li Kuan, it was directly rejected.

"Let's go! Come out with me, and I'll go and see for myself what the house has come up with by the two Weidu families. Only by finding out the situation of the other party can we know how to deal with them. ”

The houses don't look much different and the prices are about the same, but the lots vary greatly.

In this case, Wang Fugui has no good ideas.

I can't talk to people anymore, I have a good kindergarten and elementary school, and there is a medical center next to it, right?

People have it too.

……

"Here, cheers!"

Wuhe was in the middle, and Wei Siren touched a cup with Du He.

Two people who had suffered a big loss in the Chu Palace, now that they have finally saved the game, the joy in their hearts is naturally needless to say.

"Brother Wei, at the beginning, my eldest brother didn't agree with me to build a house in imitation of the workshop city, for fear that the relationship with the Chu Wangfu would be stiffened. After all, our family's cotton fields in Shuozhou and the sugarcane fields in Lingnan are closely related to the Chu Wangfu. But I analyzed it, Li Kuan, as long as you use business methods to deal with him in an upright manner, he will not be angry with others at will.

In Chang'an City, many people were jealous that the houses in Chu Wangfu Workshop City were sold so well last year, but they just couldn't think of imitating them. Now that we're doing this, I guess a lot of people are excited. We don't steal or rob, I want to see how the Chu Wangfu can deal with us? ”

Du He drank a glass of Qili incense with a red face, looking full of ambition.

Over the years, his life has not been good.

At the beginning, he proposed to dig a large-scale fish pond to breed grass carp and crucian carp, and wanted to catch a ride on the transportation of fresh fish in the Chu Palace, but the result was that he was beaten by rice field fish farming.

After that, Du Mansion suffered big losses in the hands of the Chu Wangfu one after another, so that he almost couldn't get along.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have obediently listened to his eldest brother and went to Lingnan to plant sugarcane.

"Li Kuan had just returned from Goguryeo, and it was probably the time of joy, when he suddenly heard that the houses in the workshop city were unsalable, and I was also very curious about how he would react. This time, we don't care about the loss, and we are not afraid that he will use official methods to suppress us, after all, our Wei family and Du family are not vegetarians. Yesterday I also went to Daming Palace to meet my aunt, and she is also very supportive of our cause. ”

"Now that Empress Changsun is sick in bed, the big and small affairs in the harem are basically handled by Concubine Wei. With her support, Li Kuan didn't dare to mess around. ”

Du He listened to Wei Siren's words and was also very happy.

Although the Du family and the Wei family are both wealthy families in Guanzhong Dao, because Du Ruhui died relatively early, today's power is actually not as good as the Wei family.

Otherwise, when Du He first thought of this idea of making money, he would not have gone to the Wei family to cooperate.

"Well, Li Kuan doesn't dare to mess around! It is estimated that many people in Chang'an City have seen this matter. ”

"I think so too. Brother Wei, a few days ago, I was drinking with Changsun Chong, and he revealed that he wanted to cooperate with us to develop a new plot, what do you think? ”

Du He thought about it, and still took out this matter and discussed it with Wei Siren.

Normally, the two Wei Du families have joined forces, which is enough to settle the relationship between Chang'an City, and there is no need to worry about any problems during the construction of the house.

However, if he rejects Changsun Chong, then he will definitely consider going it alone, or find someone else to cooperate in the development.

At that time, the projects of the Weidu family were facing competition from the eldest grandson's family.

The relationship between friend and foe changed immediately.

Du He was a loyal follower of Changsun Chong's side at the beginning, although the relationship is a little distant now, but they are still friends with each other.

In addition, the position of the eldest grandson Wuji in the court is very stable, even if the eldest grandson queen is gone, it does not mean that the eldest grandson's family is in decline.

"Eldest Sun Chong? Is it his own meaning, or is it the meaning of the eldest grandson's family? ”

Wei Siren naturally knew what was at stake, and did not directly refuse.

This real estate project in Chang'an City has brought more than 10,000 yuan of income to the Wei family, and it is foreseeable that in the future, this income will be even more.

If you can not share with more people, it is naturally better not to share.

"Changsun Chong is the eldest son of the eldest grandson family, and I heard that Zhao Guogong has now entrusted him with many things in the house. So this proposal of his, I think, can be seen as the proposal of the eldest grandson's family. ”

Du He still knows a lot about Changsun Mansion, and he can tell from Changsun Chong's words that he is not a casual temptation, but a deliberate decision.

If he rejected his cooperation plan, the eldest grandson family would inevitably take other actions.

Anyway, the operation method of this project is already clearly there.

With the power of the eldest grandson's family in Chang'an City, it is completely possible to settle all the relationships and let the house enter the market smoothly.

"Now our main competitor is still the workshop city of Chu Wangfu, and when it comes to the ability to make money, no one can compare to Li Kuan. I'm afraid they'll be able to find something to back then. At present, since Changsun Chong intends to enter this market, he should simply have money to earn together, even if he really wants to conflict with the Chu Wangfu later, it can be regarded as one more ally. ”

Wei Siren is in his thirties this year, and he has long passed the age of vindictiveness.

The lesser of two evils, there are more advantages than disadvantages of cooperating with the eldest grandson's family, so it is natural to choose cooperation.

"Good! Then I'll go to Changsun Mansion and communicate with Changsun Chong first. Then let's make an appointment for a few more times, and we will give you a specific plan for cooperation. In the meantime, we can also consider buying a new plot. Since it is going to be done, it is naturally necessary to make it bigger, otherwise it will be interesting if the three families share the money, and each family will not get much. ”

Du He was relieved to see Wei Siren nodding in agreement.

In fact, he was willing to throw this matter out for discussion, and in his heart he had actually recognized the addition of Changsun Chong.

……

"Owner, should we buy this house or not?"

At the intersection of Guiyifang, Yang Dong personally acted as a coachman, looking at a building in front of him with Yang Benman.

The land jointly developed by the two Weidu families is Guiyifang.

As a square in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, it can be said that it is the civilian area of Chang'an City.

After the Weidu family paid a lot of money for the demolition, these civilians basically moved out happily.

As for some people who are reluctant to relocate, with the strength of the Weidu family, there is naturally a way to clean you up.

There is no emperor or official in Datang who says that this is a society under the rule of law, an ordinary person, not to mention that the Wei and Du families join forces, even if it is any child under the Wei family or the Du family, there are countless ways to clean you up.

It's really not good, just forcibly demolish you, and you have nothing to do.

Therefore, the speed of transformation here in Guiyi Fang can be said to be changing with each passing day.

All the houses have now been demolished and most of the plots have been leveled.

One of them has already been built and is being sold.

Yang Benman is now standing at the intersection looking at this piece of house, thinking about whether he should buy a few sets.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not in Chang'an City before, so I have been watching the changes here in Workshop City and Guiyi Fang to see what actions both sides have made. But before the situation was clear, I didn't buy any more houses, whether it was Workshop City or Guiyi Fang. Now that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been back for several days, calculating the time, the people below should have also reported to him about the matter here, I want to see what he will do, and then judge whether he wants to buy it here. ”

Although Yang Benman is now notorious, his net worth is constantly getting thicker.

Although many colleagues in the Imperial Historical Observatory looked down on him, in fact, there were not many who secretly envied and envied him.

In particular, Yang Benman rode the top luxury carriage produced by the Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage workshop to the Yushitai every day, which made some Yushi who could only squeeze the public carriage secretly hate.

"But the price here in Guiyi Fang has risen by 50%, and I have heard that the price of the newly opened project in a few days will be increased by 10%; On the other hand, on the other side of the workshop city, the price not only did not rise, but had a downward trend. Especially the house I bought before, from the beginning of the year to the present, the price has fallen by at least 30%, otherwise it would not have been sold at all. ”

The meaning of Yang Dong's words is obviously to persuade Yang Benman to shift the focus of investment to Guiyifang.

"I naturally understand what you say! But I think it's strange, obviously the location of Guiyifang is much better than that of Workshop City, and the quality of the house doesn't seem to be fundamentally different, at most, people can't use glass to make windows, but this doesn't have much impact on the price. But why is the workshop city holding on to the price not lowering? Even if it is a downward adjustment, in fact, the magnitude is very limited! ”

With more and more houses adopting glass windows, the mystery of glass is not so high.

However, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only the Chu Wangfu was able to make exquisite glass.

Although others are also continuing to research, progress is relatively slow.

Of course, even if someone researches it, they will not stupidly make the formula known to the world, but will quickly unite with the Chu Wangfu to prevent others from entering this market.

"Who knows what the people in the Chu Palace's Mansion think. Maybe it's just because His Royal Highness the King of Chu went to the Goguryeo people before, and no one dared to call the shots to lower the price. ”

"But His Royal Highness the King of Chu has now returned to Chang'an City!"

"That'...... Or let's take another look? Yang Dong naturally felt the entanglement of his host, but he did not continue to persuade him.

"Wait another week, if there is no movement in the Chu Palace, we will fully start the house in Guiyifang."

Yang Benman took a deep breath and made a difficult decision.

As a newly rising "investment" expert in Chang'an City, Yang Benman has been very successful in the past few days.

A single tea-making workshop has made the Yang family firmly sit on the top 100 list of the rich in Chang'an City.

Well, if there is such a list.

Since last year, when the Chu Wangfu began to vigorously promote the houses in the workshop city, Yang Benman has felt the change that he can make money by buying a house.

So since last year, he has successively purchased more than 20 houses in Workshop City.

If he hadn't figured out the logic of rising house prices, he wouldn't have bought just 20 sets.

Now, he felt it was time to decide where to buy a house.

Workshop City or Guiyi Workshop is really a choice that seems easy to choose, but is full of confusion.

"It is said that when the market opens tomorrow, there will be a 97% discount, and if you pay the purchase price in a lump sum on the same day, you can enjoy an additional 99% discount. If you wait until a week later, even if there is still a listing, it will be picked by someone else, and there will be no discounts. Unless we wait until the next phase opens, but at that time, the house price in Guiyi Fang may have risen by another 10%. ”

Yang Dong didn't understand why his owner just couldn't make up his mind.

In his opinion, it couldn't have been easier.

"Yo! Brother Yang, you've finally figured it out! ”

At this time, a four-wheeled carriage stopped next to Yang Benman's carriage, and I saw He Qinlao poking his head out of the window and talking to Yang Benman.

"Brother He came to see the house?"

Yang Benman was not surprised at all, and He Qinlao would appear here.

As the Imperial Historical Tower, He Qinlao, who bought three houses in Guiyifang, is a loyal supporter and beneficiary of the rise in housing prices in Guiyifang.

Obviously, he was ready to make a move this time.

"Brother Yang, I didn't say you, the house in Guiyifang is more expensive than the workshop city, but the location is so much better, why don't you buy it? I was cautious at first, only daring to buy one set, and then two; This time, I'm going to take all my family savings out and buy five sets in one go! ”

Although He Qinlao's level is half a level higher than Yang Benman, he has no affiliation, and the family's money is far less than Yang Benman's, so the interaction between the two sides can be regarded as an equal relationship.

"That's what Brother He said!"

Yang Benman had no way to refute, his heart was also a little chaotic, and his interest in speaking was not high.

"Look! If you don't buy it this time, you will definitely regret it later. As far as the little money issued by Yushitai is concerned, a year's income is not enough to increase people's housing prices. Of course, Brother Yang, you are not short of money, and you don't care if you are good or not. However, there is no need to waste money if you have it, right? ”

He Qinhard rarely pressed Yang Benman for a while, and his face was full of smiles.

Although even the house price of Guiyifang has increased several times, He Qin's net worth is not as good as Yang Benman's.

But seeing that the house in the workshop city that Yang Benman bought was falling in price, and the Guiyi Fang he bought was rising in price, He Qinlao still felt inexplicably happy in his heart.

"Brother He, I'm a little unwell, so I'll go back first and talk another day!"

Yang Benman saw He Qinqin's proud appearance, and his heart was even more depressed.

Could it be that there is something wrong with my intuition this time?

His Royal Highness the King of Chu really makes mistakes?

Is the future of the Workshop City really not as good as that of the Guiyi Workshop?

With all kinds of questions, Yang Benman silently returned to the house.

Of course, it is necessary to let Yang Dong continue to inquire about all kinds of news.
