If it weren't for Sun Xiangfu playing some routines that would only appear in later generations, it would be difficult to fool the family think tank in this era.

Exaggerating the scale, in the shopping mall of the later generations, is fake news, and the sketch plan released later is also a kind of fake news, under the superposition of these two fake news, the family's think tank is naturally confused.

When Lu Wenzhong, Zheng Xuancheng and others were scolding the Wang family for being shameless, Cui Shaoyuan said again, "Brothers, the Wang family will continue to offer to the imperial court and sell the building materials they have hoarded, so if it is only discounted by one percent, it is estimated that the Wang family will still bid the bid." ”

"So, what should I do?" Zheng Xuancheng asked.

Cui Shaoyuan didn't answer, but looked at Lu Wenyuan, waiting for him to decide.

"Price reduction, even if the price is discounted by three percent, we can still make a little money, this time, we must let the Wang family smash the building materials they have hoarded."

When Cui Shaoyuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "The discount of 30% is still not insurance, in a certain opinion, it will be appropriate to directly discount the price by 40%." ”

If the discount is forty percent, it is almost close to the cost price, Cui Shaoyuan's meaning is that he will not make money at all, and he will also pit the Wang family, and the strange thing is that Lu Wenyuan and others actually agree very much.

After the matter of Shanyang reached Chang'an, several of them and the Wang family have become close to each other, and the price of one percent is naturally not a lot of money for these families, on the contrary, the pit of the Wang family and a breath of relief can make them more able to relieve their hatred.

It can only be said that Lu Wenzhong's choice of the timing of the launch in Shanyang was too coincidental, just a little before the bidding for the procurement of building materials in Weinan New Town.

Taiji Palace, Imperial Study, Ma Zhou reported to Li Shimin some progress in Weinan New Town, there are hundreds of thousands of laborers, and the matter of the highway can basically be over within half a month after the summer beans are planted in June.

Now, the materials for the construction of the kind of large house designed by Sun Xiangfu need to be prepared, among which the demand for beams and timber is particularly large, and then there are steel materials for beams and columns, which also need a lot, no way, if the bearing space wants to be wider, it needs reinforced concrete as the main frame, and these things are now hoarded in the hands of five surnames and seven families.

"Your Majesty, according to Sun Dudu's previous plan, we need round by round, little by little bidding and procurement, in order to keep the price down, the minister thinks, we can also take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the Cui family and several other families."

"Will the plan be released?"

"Your Majesty, after their bids are handed in, we will know their offers, if the minister informs the Wang family of their reserve price, and then let Cui Shaoyuan, who has the status of a shareholder, also participate in the selection of bidders······"

Ma Zhou's plan is very simple, to play the auction tricks, that is, to turn the bidding into a bidding, so that he can buy the building materials in the hands of several of them at a price far below the market price.

At the same time as several of them were bidding, they used Wang's as a-stirring stick, so that the rest felt that Cui's was not reliable, and it was best to let the Qinghe Cui's family win the bid many times in several rounds of bidding, so that the rest felt unfair, so that they gradually cracked with Cui's.

These methods are very operational, and after Li Shimin listened to Ma Zhou's suggestion, he immediately nodded in agreement.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu thought of using bidding to attract the family to bid, and he had already thought of these links, and he believed that Ma Zhou could do these things well, so he suggested that Li Shimin let Ma Zhou come to the Governor of Weinan New City project.

Soon, the news in the newspaper was published, Ma Zhou, the governor of the Weinan New Town project, for the national bidding to purchase building timber, how much is needed, what kind of condition, the newspaper is clearly written, any individual or family with these materials can submit a quotation to the Weinan New Town project team, limited to one day.

After receiving the news, each family hurriedly calculated the price and reported their own prices.

The next day, there was new news in the newspaper that Taiyuan Wang's successfully won the bid at a price of 200,000 yuan and will hand over the goods to the Weinan New City project team today.

And this price, compared to the amount of materials purchased in this bid, is almost half of the market price, that is to say, the Wang family is selling at a discount of 50%, which is a loss-making transaction!

The sons of the family who got the news scolded the Wang family, however, they saw another procurement news in the newspaper at this time, the news of the procurement of steel materials, which was also a national bidding and a time-limited offer.

This time, the sons of the family were annoyed, and they reported a sixty percent discount, even if they lost money, they had to let the Wang family's things smash in their hands.

Then, Cui Shaoyuan was called by Ma Zhou to hold a shareholders' meeting, the topic of the shareholders' meeting is very simple, in the price list of steel materials reported by the people, there are six quotations of the same, I don't know how to choose, shareholders need to vote to make a decision, the emperor's attitude is not to participate in private commercial activities, so although he accounts for fifty percent of the shares, but give up the right to vote, and finally let who wins the bid, voted by the rest of the shareholders.

"Since the Qinghe Cui family is also in the bidding ranks, of course I am helping our own people, and I will vote for the Qinghe Cui family." As Wei Chigong made a good start, the rest of the shareholders also voted for Qinghe Cui's family.

After thanking the shareholders one by one with the honorable Cui Shaoyuan, Ma Zhou soon announced the news through the newspaper, and at the same time, a new round of procurement bidding plans was published.

Then, Cui Shaoyuan held more and more shareholder meetings, and every time, he won the bid, and the key is that every time he won the bid, he lost money.

However, at this time, Wang Gui in the middle of the court desperately impeached the officials of the Qinghe Cui family, as if the Qinghe Cui family had done something very sorry for their Wang family.

At first, everyone thought that Qinghe Cui's asked the Wang family to hoard building materials in their hands and couldn't sell them, so Wang Guicai thought about giving Qinghe Cui's small shoes to wear in the court and retaliate against them.

And the sons of the major families also thought that they had breathed a sigh of relief, and they were proud.

But later, everyone felt that something was wrong with the situation, how could it be that in addition to the Taiyuan Wang's initial winning of the bid, Qinghe Cui's won the bid every time, which is not normal.

Some building materials are sold at a loss, which is better than rotting and rusting in the backlog!

After several inquiries, they learned that the original shareholders could know some inside information and decide whose things to purchase through voting, so several families felt that it was Cui Shaoyuan who betrayed everyone and sold the things they had hoarded first.

After this little Jiujiu got up, Lu Wenyuan was reluctant to inform Cui Shaoyuan of his own offer, and in private, the price was reduced by half again.

It's a pity that he still didn't sell the thing, because, Wang didn't know that he had smoked the style, and he also lowered the price by half at this moment, this time, the shareholders all voted for Wang, urging Shaoyuan, a person who only accounted for 7% of the shares, had no right to speak at all.

So, the Wang family sold another round out, and Lu Wenyuan and others were very annoyed, and asked Cui Shaoyuan to go to the shareholders to get inside information for them, and let their own family sell some things out.

Then, Cui Shaoyuan really went, Ma Zhou didn't treat him as an outsider at all, the price quoted by each family, shareholders can see it, open and transparent, so Cui Shaoyuan saw the price of Wang's newspaper, and the price was discounted by seventy.

When he saw Wang's offer, Cui Shaoyuan just gritted his teeth and sighed, "Wang's is really ruthless." If the steel materials are sold at a price of 30% of the market price, even if it is an order of 200,000 guan, the Wang family will lose tens of thousands of guan.

However, when it informed Lu Wenyuan and others of the news, it found that Lu Wenyuan was even more ruthless, and directly quoted the market price of 20% and 5.

This time, Lu Wenyuan really won the bid, and he successfully lost more than 100,000 yuan.

It was not until the end of May, when Li Shimin was about to leave for Shanyang, that Ma Zhou's twentieth round of bidding and procurement plan ended, and Lu Wenyuan and his family were shocked to realize that the materials they had on hand were actually bought out by the project team.

The project team, only spent about 4 million yuan, to buy more than 10 million yuan worth of building materials, in addition to Wang's situation does not know, the six of them, in this round of bidding and procurement, actually lost about 1 million yuan each.

Didn't you say before that the actual construction scale of Weinan New Town is not large, how can you buy so many building materials?

On the surface, the scale of Weinan New Town is indeed not large, many cement highways will divide the entire Weinan boundary into a large grid, now, those grids, only one began to start construction, if the scope of the grid is Weinan New Town, then, it is not much larger than the previous Weinan County.

However, when they knew that it was just a smelting workshop in Weinan New Town, or a smelting factory, they were confused.

One of their smelting workshops is bigger than the original Weinan county, so how big is the whole city? Isn't it bigger than Chang'an?

The ghost told them to send out to find out the people who didn't know how to read the scale, and the ghost told them that they didn't know how important smelting technology and steel production were to a country, Sun Xiangfu built such a big smelting workshop, naturally to promote iron tools to the whole people, whether it was living utensils, farming tools, or military equipment, new buildings, they needed a lot of steel, and even emerging products such as press wells also consumed steel.

If you want all the people of Datang to use higher-quality production and living tools, Datang's current steel output will be at least ten times more than ten, how to turn it? Of course, it was turned over by this giant smelting workshop.

Don't worry about Ma Zhou, a Guanzhong coal tycoon like Wei Shuhui has found him, how much coal do you have to use to build such a large smelting workshop! Is it necessary to procure, and it is a long-term procurement.

Ma Zhou explained to Wei Shuhuan the importance of coal to the entire Weinan New City in the future, not only the smelting workshop, a large coal user, ceramic workshop, glass workshop, and even cement, papermaking, etc., various industries need a lot of coal, so this coal workshop can not be opened too small.

So, the Wei family smashed the pot and sold iron, scraped together 500,000 yuan, and asked the project team to build a super-large coal workshop for him that could supply the entire Weinan Industrial Zone in the future.

Since then, almost every day in the newspaper, there is news about who and what industry workshops have settled in Weinan New Town, and then, people from all walks of life began to come to Ma Zhou to discuss business.

Therefore, when Li Shimin boarded the carriage of the Northern Tour, he was very happy and excited, because, before he left, he saw the reform of Guanzhong and the initial success of the Weinan New City construction project.

Moreover, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that this year's summer grain harvest in the land of Guanzhong is comprehensive, an unprecedented bumper harvest, the yield per mu of some wheat fields has reached more than seven stones, and the low ones are about four stones, and the average yield is more than five stones, and the people of Guanzhong have only used less than one-third of the fields to grow grain that can be eaten by everyone for more than a year, as well as melons and fruits, cotton and other crops.

When his frame passed through the cement road, he saw the scene of the harvest of the people along the way, and many people took out the watermelons, cantaloupe, and muskmelons produced in their fields to present them to him, which made him very moved, and he received soft hands.

And these things that the little people couldn't eat in the past can be eaten openly this year, because judging from the output of various crops in the fields, this year they have the economic strength to eat for a year.
