These days, the news of the creation of the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone has spread throughout Xianyang. According to rumors, this was led by Rong Lu Hou Li Chen, saying that it would provide a free and fair place for merchants in the world to trade. This Xianyang clan noble, the minister of civil and military affairs didn't take it seriously at first, and only thought that Li Chen was thinking of scraping some oil and water from the merchants. After all, the wealth of this merchant is known to the world, and these merchants are the leeks of Daqin, and when they need money, they want to cut a stubble. This thing is accustomed to the Great Qin Dynasty, and this thing of cutting leeks is not only done by the Manchu Dynasty, but even the first emperor who built the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum also cut the leeks of merchants.

It was only when the 300-mile radius of Shimen Mountain began to be fenced off, and the soldiers of the Shenwu Army also began to patrol the perimeter. Now Shimen Mountain is already in a semi-closed state, except for the workers of Lijiazhuang who come and go every day, outsiders can no longer get close to Shimen Mountain.

Shimen Mountain began construction, and only then did everyone know that Li Chen was probably not looking for a way to scavenge for oil and water. Obviously, he really wanted to fight for some rights for the merchants. However, these clan nobles did not panic, after all, many of the big merchants in the entire Great Qin were supported by these clan nobles, and they were inextricably linked. There are even some who are simply the side children of these big clans, so no matter how big the cake Li Chen draws, they have to eat it in the end.

Xianyang City, Lijiazhuang.

At this time, dozens of large merchants had gathered in the meeting hall of Lijiazhuang, and these people were all members of the Daqin Commercial Committee founded by Li Chen. Barely being regarded as his own people, as the so-called fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, since these people are his own people, about the matter of the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, Li Chen naturally has to reveal the news to them in advance.

As soon as Chen Ping's post came down, these people rushed to Lijiazhuang eagerly. You must know that since joining the Great Qin Business Committee, their business has become bigger and bigger, and it has become more and more prosperous. And the matter of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, which is rumored these days, was handled by Li Chen. They can sit on such a big business, and they can naturally see how big a business opportunity it will be if the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone is really as rumored. All the wealthy businessmen stretched out their heads, waiting for the main owner Li Chen to appear.

"Master of the Ba family, we are the closest to you and Hou Ye, what rumors can Hou Ye reveal to you?" A wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang asked Chong Baqing.

"We are all the same, we all rely on the Hou Ye to reward some food, you don't know, how do I know Baqing?" Ba Qing said.

"Yu Gong is the same, but Yu Private is different?" A strange smile leaked from the face of the businessman surnamed Zhang, which all men understand.

"Old ghost Zhang, if you can't control your stinky mouth, the old lady will tear you privately, believe it or not." Ba Qing scolded bitterly.

"Just kidding, just kidding." The businessman surnamed Zhang said with a smile.

After a while, Li Chen took Chen Ping, Xiao He, and Liu Bang to the conference hall.

Originally, Li Chen didn't plan to let Liu Bang get involved in this matter, after all, Li Chen always had some embankments in his heart about Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty in his previous life. But after several tasks, Liu Bang did it very properly, and now Liu Bang doesn't seem to have any objections. This kind of thing dealing with businessmen, Liu Bang is also good to do.

Under the anti-expectation of a group of people, Li Chen finally appeared, and the fiery wealthy businessmen who were originally sitting in two rows chatting stood up one after another and bowed to Li Chen.

"Meet Master Hou."

These businessmen are all wealthy businessmen with heads and faces in Xianyang City, and they are also Li Chen's money bags. Of course, since Li Chen's horse was the leader, these people's businesses have been getting better and better, and they have naturally made more and more money.

"I called you here today, and you must have guessed what was going on." Li Chen sat on the top of the throne and said with a smile at everyone.

As soon as everyone saw Li Chen's appearance, they knew that the rumors in Xianyang City must be true, and sure enough, there was nothing groundless at this time. So they all opened their mouths and asked: "Master Hou, it's a matter of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone." ”

"Yes, it is the matter of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, I can tell you clearly, the rumors in this market are true, and the benefits of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone for businessmen are far more than what is rumored outside. Since everyone is eating with me Li Chen, this is beneficial, so I naturally have to think about everyone first. Li Chen took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Master Hou, how does this benefit work, and how much can we share?" Immediately a wealthy merchant asked, apparently very interested in the matter.

"The Shimenshan Economic Development Zone is divided into five areas, namely the factory area, the residential area, the trade area, the garrison area and the scientific research area. At that time, I, Li Chen, will come up with some civilian technology to cooperate with you to set up a factory. Distilleries, sugar factories, tricycle factories, and agricultural machinery factories will all be able to buy shares at that time. After the factory is completed, the factory will not directly participate in the sales, and all sales will be carried out in the trade zone. The trade zone is tentatively set up as a large market with 3,000 shops, the big market is only open three times a month, and any merchant can enter and trade on open days, while the shops in the trade zone can trade every day. Li Chen said slowly.

"Master Hou, how much can we get in this shop?" Everyone's eyes lit up, and they asked brightly.

"The shop will be auctioned at the beginning of next month, and the auction needs to be settled in cash. Now that the news that should be leaked has been leaked to everyone, everyone should prepare early. If you can't gain the upper hand in the auction Shanghai, then it's no wonder that Hou Ye. Chen Ping stroked his long beard and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded their heads. After all, the cake in the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone is too big, and if Li Chen directly distributes it to them, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble at that time. Now that Li Chen has revealed the news to them, their attention to Shimenshan Economic Development Zone has been far greater than ordinary people. Li Chen has done everything in this matter, after all, some things cannot be put on the surface.

Having said this, Li Chen knew that these people would naturally not take their words as a joke, but they were afraid that as soon as they went back, these people would start to raise silver taels, and so many people raised silver taels together, which would naturally attract the attention of people with a heart. There is no impermeable wall in this world, and people will have a herd mentality, and the price of the shops at the auction will naturally rise all the way.

Li Chen looked at everyone and said, "Liu Bang is in charge of the affairs of the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, and you are more close to you than Lord Liu. There are some things that I can't say conveniently, but if Lord Liu spits out the truth after drinking and says something, everyone should not take it seriously. ”

After that, Li Chen took Xiao He and Chen Ping out of the meeting hall, leaving Liu Bang to deal with everyone.

"How much money can be raised from these people, it depends on how much truth our Lord Liu can leak after drinking?" Coming out of the hall, Chen Ping stroked the goat's whisker and said.
