Chapter 795: Ice and Fire
As the largest chain restaurant in Chang'an City, Bread Xinyu has its own store in each square.
Although Guiyi Fang used to live in poor people, there was also a small bread Xinyu in Fangkou.
The two Weidu families renovated the Guiyi Workshop on a large scale, and demolished everything that could and could not be demolished.
The shop where the bread new language is located is naturally no exception.
For Bread Xinyu, it is a good thing to transform Guiyi Fang.
In the future, the people living here will be more high-end, and the business in the shop will naturally be better.
Therefore, although Wu Guo and Gu Panpan were a little unhappy that Wei Du and his family entered the real estate industry and competed with the workshop city for jobs, they also went with the flow.
"Wu Guo, how many people are here at the opening today? It was ten o'clock before the sale of the house began, but now it was crowded. It is in stark contrast to the deserted scene when the new phase of the new house was launched in Workshop City last month. ”
Standing by the window of the private room on the second floor of the Bread Xinyu Guiyi Fang store, which has just been built and reopened for less than a month, Gu Panpan has no joy at all.
Even if there were a lot of people outside who came in to buy doughnuts for breakfast, she was not happy.
"My brother-in-law just came back from Goguryeo, and we don't want to make him upset! So no one took the initiative to mention to him the problem of unsalable houses in the workshop city. Anyway, the house is not short of money, even if it is a house in the workshop city, it can't be sold, so it doesn't matter. ”
Wu Guo lived in the Chu Palace, so he was naturally more aware of Li Kuan's movements.
It's like Gu Panpan, although the Gu family allowed her to stay in Chang'an City, but she couldn't live in the Chu Wangfu all day long.
"That being said, if you look at the exterior of these houses, they are exactly the same as the design of the Workshop City; Even the facilities inside are basically the same. I heard that even many building materials procurement workshops are the same one. Isn't this a clear way to take advantage of our Chu Palace? ”
"In Chang'an City, there are many courtyards that have been built, and I haven't seen any questions from any family, so we can't be so domineering in the Chu Palace, right? Besides, this new-style house, a lot of steel bars and glass used in it, are also purchased from the workshop of our palace, speaking of which, our Chu palace can be regarded as earning some money from it. ”
"You're embarrassed to mention this! If I had thought of it, the glass should not have been sold to them, and the houses they had built, even if they looked similar to those in the Workshop City, would have been different from the houses they had built. ”
When Gu Panpan heard Wu Guo mention the matter of selling things, he was angry.
In his opinion, the performance of the Chu Wangfu this year is too weak.
"Panpan, what Guiyi Fang looked like before, you have also seen it. Objectively speaking, the Wei Du family paid for the land and houses of Guiyifang from those people? The price is also considered to be fair? After the transformation, the Guiyi Workshop has also become much more beautiful. Whether it's for Datang? Or ordinary people? That's all a good thing.
In the past few months, the business affairs of the Chu Palace? Basically, my sister is in charge. She knows the prince's mind very well, otherwise she would not have allowed the Wei Du family to build a house in Guiyifang smoothly. Of course? Is there any other means waiting for them behind Sister? I don't know. ”
Wu Guo stayed with Wu Meiniang all day long, and his vision of seeing things was a little higher than Gu Panpan's.
Knowing that Li Kuan has always encouraged the industrial and commercial development of Datang, as long as it does not violate discipline, all commercial activities? Li Kuan is all supportive.
So even if the Wei Du family's actions would obviously damage the interests of the Chu Wangfu in the workshop city? Wu Meiniang did not stand up to stop it.
"Forget it, I'm the emperor and the eunuch is not in a hurry. These people are rushing to Guiyi Fang to buy a house, what does it have to do with me? However, I'm going to buy a house in Workshop City, and I'm going to buy a hundred sets tomorrow? Let's see if that Li Kuan really lets the workshop city go down like this. ”
As the only daughter of the Gu family, Gu Panpan has much more funds at her disposal than Wu Guo.
Anyway, the house I bought in Workshop City before didn't lose money? Even if she buys another hundred sets now, she is not very worried.
……
In the Xuanzheng Palace? Li Shimin was listening to Li Zhong's report on what had happened in Chang'an City in recent months.
"Are you saying that yesterday the eldest grandson family, the Wei family, and the Du family joined forces to form a new business name, ready to acquire most of the houses in Datongfang?"
"Yes! Since all the firms were established? Do you have to go to the county government to back up? In order to collect commercial taxes? So the news spread quickly. Of course, the three of them were not prepared to hide it, but instead sent people to publicize it in Datongfang, so that people could advocate the benefits of transforming as soon as possible. This time, the plan proposed by the three of them is not only to sell the house for money, but also to choose to replace it with a renovated house.
Although the area will definitely be greatly reduced, what the newly built house looks like, everyone will know it when you go to Guiyifang, and it will definitely be much more comfortable than living now. So I heard that many people are ready to choose a new combination. ”
"This renovation of the old Guiyi Fang and Datong Fang is also a good thing, as long as they don't exploit the people, they don't have to interfere in particular."
Although Li Shimin has a grudge against the cooperation between the eldest grandson family and the Wei Du family, he does not show it at all.
"My subordinates understand! However, there is one special situation that His Majesty is likely to be interested in. ”
Li Zhong thought about it and felt that it was better to tell Li Shimin about it.
lest they fight when they get to, Li Shimin blames himself for not giving any warning news.
"Oh? What else? ”
"It is this Guiyi Fang house that has risen by 50% in just a few months since it was put on sale in the middle of this year, and the price of the house is still rising. On the contrary, the houses in the workshop city have fallen into unsalable, and the house prices have fallen by 30% compared with the beginning of the year, and even continue to fall. ”
When Li Zhong said this, his heart also felt a little painful.
Last year, he also had a hot head and went to Workshop City to buy a house.
Mainly considering that his son Li Geng may be in need.
I haven't lived in it a few times since I handed over the house, and now I hear the news that house prices are starting to fall.
What a disturbance!
It's just that he can't show any emotions yet.
"Huh? What do you mean? During the time that Kuan'er was not in Chang'an City, the house in Workshop City was not easy to sell? Is there someone behind the scenes? ”
Li Kuan is the biggest hero of this expedition to Goguryeo, and Li Shimin will never allow anyone to drag him behind his back.
"No one deliberately makes trouble, at most it can only be said to be normal business competition, but the approach is a little uncomfortable."
Now that he had talked about it, Li Zhong simply told everything he knew.
"The two Navedu families are also good-looking, knowing that the workshop city has won the favor of many people by relying on its unique architectural design. But the workshop city is far away from Chang'an City, but it is a hard injury; So they joined forces to acquire most of the land and houses in Guiyifang, and after re-pushing it, they built it according to the style of the houses in the workshop city, and once it was launched, it became popular in Chang'an City. Nowadays, not only many officials of the imperial court have bought houses in Guiyifang, but many merchants in the West Market are also working in Guiyifang. ”
"So, the Weidu family, this time Kuan'er suffered a loss?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhong in a little surprise.
In Chang'an City, there are other people who can make Li Kuan suffer in addition to himself.
"So to speak! However, the Chu Wangfu maintained a high degree of restraint, and no one ever went to Guiyifang to make trouble, and even the Wei Du family tried to find the workshops under the Chu Wangfu to purchase materials, and they could buy them normally according to the market price. ”
"Is this a lot of money to buy a house? Why didn't the Wei Du family go to join in the fun, and even the eldest grandson's family began to mix? ”
Although Li Shimin is a wise emperor, he is not a king who understands it, and it is impossible to know everything.
Although the subordinates did not get accurate data, it is an indisputable fact that the Weidu family made a lot of money in Guiyifang. Your Majesty, I have to say that this time the Weidu family really created a business miracle, with a small amount of money, they leveraged the reconstruction of the entire Guiyi Fang, and then made a lot of money from it. ”
When Li Zhong heard about Guiyifang, he knew that Li Shimin would definitely be interested at that time, so he arranged for someone to have a good understanding.
Now it seems that all this effort has not been in vain.
"Oh, what a miracle method?"
Li Shimin straightened up, and his curiosity was completely raised.
"That's right, the two of them first teamed up to borrow 100,000 yuan from the Datang Royal Bank, and then turned around and used the money to acquire the land and houses of Guiyi Fang, as well as the subsequent construction of houses. The houses in Guiyi Fang are basically old and dilapidated, and they can be easily demolished. As for the newly built houses, they followed the example of the workshop city, first built a few model houses, and then began to sell the others before they were built.
In this way, the money borrowed from the Datang Royal Bank can start to be repaid. However, they find various workshops to purchase building materials, but they generally have to wait until the house is built before paying for the goods. After going back and forth, the Weidu family added a big project of Guiyi Fang out of thin air, and in less than a year, they earned tens of thousands of yuan, and it can be expected that they can earn more money in the next year. ”
"Isn't this the empty glove white wolf that Kuan'er said?"
"That's right, it's indeed the empty glove white wolf that His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, but they didn't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and even set up a special construction team, which attracted many people and craftsmen to work in the construction team and earn wages."
Li Zhong used to just think that Li Kuan was very powerful, but now he is a great family who has discovered Chang'an City, and all of them are not simple.
"Wei Du and the two families, who is in charge of the affairs of Guiyi Fang? Being able to come up with such a method also has some ability. Anyway, after listening to your explanation, I don't feel that their actions have harmed anyone's interests, on the contrary, it seems that the court, the people, and the merchants can all profit from it. Well, that is, Kuan'er's workshop city is unlucky. ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.
At first, he thought that someone took advantage of Li Kuan's expedition to Goguryeo to bully the orphans and widows of the Chu Palace.
So I'm very upset.
That doesn't seem to be the case now.
Being able to meet someone who is upright and makes Li Kuan suffer a loss, Li Shimin thinks it's not a bad thing.
After all, if people go too smoothly all their lives, it may not be a good thing.
"The price of houses in Guiyi Fang is about the same as that of Workshop City, even if it is expensive, it is only a little more expensive. Unless it is a person who works in the workshop city in Chang'an City, all those who buy a house will choose Guiyifang. ”
"Li Zhong, you can arrange it, after the court meeting in a few days, we will go to Guiyifang to have a look, and then go to the workshop city for a walk. Didn't you buy a house there too? When the time comes, let me go over and see what I can see. ”
Li Shimin's words made Li Zhong inexplicably shocked.
He never told Li Shimin that he had bought a house in Workshop City!
"Yes, the subordinates will arrange it immediately!"
Li Zhong didn't have the idea of continuing at all, and stood aside in a proper manner.
And Li Shimin also picked up the fold on the table and reviewed it.
For a moment, there was silence in the Xuanzheng Palace.
A companion is like a tiger, and every monarch is the same.
……
The hot sales of Guiyi Fang completely made many nobles unable to live.
It turns out that you can still make money like this.
The two Weidu families can do it, and so can I!
Although it is as suitable as Guiyifang, it may not be easy to find.
But near the city gate, finding a large piece of land to build a house is not a problem at all.
It's a big deal, when the price is sold at a few points cheaper than Guiyifang.
"Big brother, sure enough, the hand is fast, but the hand is slow. Last year, no one was interested in the land outside Yanping Gate, but now the price has more than doubled. If I hadn't made a quick move, I probably wouldn't have been able to buy land near the city gate. This time, although we only bought 2,000 acres of land, it was enough to build nearly 2,000 new houses. We only need to set up a construction team, and we can build these houses in a year, and then we can directly earn tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. ”
In the Chai Mansion, Chai Lingwu showed a long-lost smile and stood confidently in front of Chai Zhewei.
"Is Datang Royal Money Dealer willing to lend us a loan?"
"Yes! Of course they do! Our Chai family is willing to borrow money from them, and they should be happy. You know, when it was first founded, they were worried about who they were going to lend their money to. Even now, there are many people who are willing to go to the bank to save money, but few people who borrow money. For large loans like ours, the interest is very low. ”
Wei Siren and Du He came up with the trick of the white wolf with empty gloves, and the others naturally followed suit.
It's not that they can't come up with so much money, but it's a bit difficult to come up with so many silver tickets directly.
Those ordinary people, if you buy his land or house, you must give it real money, otherwise people will not sell it to you even if they are desperate.
Don't look at these people are usually very docile, once they are forced to be urgent, they can do anything.
"That's good! The Wei Du family has been tossing in Guiyifang for so long, and the Chu Wangfu has not reacted at all. Before, I thought it was because Li Kuan was not in Chang'an City, but now Li Kuan has been back for a while, and there is no reaction. If we follow the Weidu family, it shouldn't be too risky. ”
Chai Zhewei is cautious by nature, but now he also feels that his younger brother has done a reliable thing this time.
"That's right! However, big brother, I have to go out in a hurry, and I have to go to the shopkeepers of various workshops to discuss, so that they can sell all kinds of materials to us first, otherwise the price of materials will not rise, and it is likely that I will not be able to buy the goods even if I have money. ”
Chai Lingwu has learned well, and this time he is responsible for the business of the Chai family's real estate development, which can be regarded as doing some research.
In fact, these noble sons are actually not bad.
It's just that at the beginning, you may have a low eye and a low hand, and you will make some low-level mistakes.
Once they adjust, the success rate of their work is much higher than that of ordinary people.
After all, the education people have received since childhood and the world they have seen are not comparable to ordinary people.
"It's going to be faster! The eldest grandson's family has already taken the lead and directly cooperated with the Wei Du family, and now it is the most powerful housing development merchant in Chang'an City. Now that our Chai family has also joined this industry, it is estimated that many other nobles are also in action, otherwise the land outside Yanping Gate would not be able to sell so well. ”
Chai Zhewei also agreed with Chai Lingwu's opinion, and felt that since he was ready to do it, he should simply be sharp.
"That's right! Although winter is coming soon, it will be very inconvenient to construct at that time. But as long as we move fast enough, we can directly arrange for someone to lay the ground with cement, and then build a frame first, and then continue the construction when it snows. ”
Chai Lingwu obviously didn't think about building the above-ground buildings after finishing the sewers and the like like in the workshop city, and then starting to build the buildings on the ground after the underground part was compacted.
Anyway, that's what people do in Guiyifang, he just needs to follow along.
If you don't build the house quickly, it won't be good if someone will rob you first.
"Well, let's just go to the Datang Trading Center together and order the main materials we need. For example, those cement, steel bars, green bricks, green tiles, etc., will definitely be in demand at that time. ”
It's better to act than to be moved, after Chai Zhewei finished speaking, he went out with Chai Lingwu.
Anyway, you have money in your hands, so don't panic when you buy things!
……
In the workshop city, in fact, there are already many workshops settled in it.
The uniform instant noodles cut by Yuchi Oda are located in it.
Taking advantage of the imperial court's expedition to Goguryeo, Master Kong's instant noodles could not fully meet the demand for military rations, and the unified instant noodles of Yuchi Oda Che also successfully entered the logistics material procurement list of the Ministry of War.
In addition, the sales of unified instant noodles in Chang'an City are also getting better and better.
It stands to reason that Yu Chi Xiao Tian Che should have a good time.
However, these days, there are constantly craftsmen making trouble in the workshop, which makes him very depressed.
"Captain, if you want me to say, you shouldn't have forced those craftsmen to go to the workshop city to buy a house, now that the house price has fallen, these people have started to make trouble!"
Yu Chi Noda stood in front of Yu Chi Oda Kiri, his face full of unhappiness.
Compared with Yu Chi Oda Che, who is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and Li Kuan, Yu Chi Noda pays more attention to his own interests.
Last year, many fourth-level craftsmen in the workshop city were forced to buy houses in the workshop city, and at that time, Yu Chi Xiao Tian Che had not made any moves.
After the houses in Workshop City began to be unsalable this year, Yu Chi Oda Che thought that his opportunity to show his merits had arrived.
Therefore, he directly forced all the craftsmen above the third level in the workshop to buy a house in the workshop city.
If you don't want to go, the Uni-President Instant Noodle Workshop will buy a house there in your name, and then the money to buy the house will be deducted from your salary.
"Housing prices have been rising last year, why have they fallen this year! Well, I didn't know it was going to happen. ”
Yu Chi Oda Che obviously didn't have any good ideas either.
"This month, I don't dare to let the account office continue to deduct the wages of those who buy houses, so these people have become less jubilant. But the craftsman who bought the house with all his own money had to find a way to comfort him. ”
Yu Chi Noda knew that he was a Japanese national, and although he was already a native of Chang'an City in terms of household registration, others still regarded them as Japanese people many times.
So when you do things, you have to be more careful.
"No, I'll go to Yu Chi Langjun to discuss, and ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu if he has any good ideas. I always feel that Workshop City can't go on like this, this is not in line with His Royal Highness the King of Chu's style of doing things. Follow him to do things, you can make money. ”
In the opinion of Yu Chi Xiao Tian Che, he took over the house in the hands of the craftsmen in a big deal.
However, there are still so many unsold houses in the hands of the Chu Wangfu, they should be even more anxious.
"It's good to inquire clearly, otherwise we don't know what to do next, and we're very passive. I think that if the housing prices in the workshop city continue to fall, it is estimated that it will not be able to suppress the opinions of those craftsmen. In particular, there were a few people who were planning to buy a house in Guiyifang, but we forced them to buy Workshop City instead.
Now the price of the house in Guiyi Fang has risen by 50%, which is comparable to the salary of other people for several years. But the workshop city has fallen by three percent, and the gap is big when it comes and goes, so it's no wonder that these people can't accept it. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept it. ”
Yu Chi Noda thought that he also had several sets of houses in the workshop city in his hands, and his mood was a little depressed.
In order to set an example, he and Yu Chi Xiaotian Che both bought several houses in the workshop city.
Now it seems that it is completely planted.
On the one hand, there is a hot sales market in Guiyifang, and on the other hand, no one cares about the new houses in the workshop city.
The sales of houses of the same shape are both hot and cold.
This situation soon became a topic of conversation among the people of Chang'an City after dinner.
Even the storytellers of various restaurants have written a lot of short stories as the content of the storytelling based on this.
Anyway, the reputation of the workshop city is considered to have stinked in this wave of public opinion.
Even with the halo on Li Kuan's head, it doesn't seem to be so dazzling.
