"Privately," Libin said with a smile, "Spencer whispered to me that the prince didn't seem to be studying construction machinery?" How can there be such an amazing idea? He was really impressed and curious. ”

Guan Zhuofan thought: Curious, it's probably not just Spencer, but also Mr. You.

smiled and said: "I'm leading the troops, guns and ammunition or something, so naturally I think more." Mr. Leigh, if we move places, you may be able to come up with a better idea than I am. ”

Libin shook his head and said, "I can't—I have that self-knowledge." I told Spencer that the capable can do anything, and in addition to the rifle, the prince also has excellent ideas in the design of ships. The 'dome cruiser' and the 'all-armor gunboat' were both designed and manufactured by the British according to the ideas of the prince. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Spencer was amazed again and again, and said: 'In this world, after all, there are real geniuses. He also said that he was very excited and honored to serve such a talented leader. ”

Guan Zhuofan laughed: "Mr. Li, if you continue to say this, my face will be red." ”

I said in my heart that Lao Tzu's words are not modest.

"If you want to talk about genius," Guan Zhuofan said, "Spencer is actually a genius, and Gatlin is even more serious genius - obviously he studied medicine, but he built a 'machine gun'!" As for me, even if I came up with the idea of a 'machine gun', I would never have the ability to make it. ”

sighed and said: "Don't talk about me, count the whole of China, if I hand over the 'machine gun'." Will anyone be able to take it? So—"

A slight pause. He said solemnly: "On the foundation of construction machinery." We are still 108,000 miles away from foreigners! 'Idea' is actually not the most important, this foundation is really important! The foundation is thick enough, how many good ideas are missing? Otherwise, even if you have a flash of inspiration and have any ideas, you won't be able to do it! Even if it is barely made, it is barely made. It is not necessarily easy to use, and there is no way to continuously improve, let alone set a mass production! ”

Libin didn't expect to summon him to say such a big thing, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "The prince's words are very meaningful, I want to ...... well Get it. ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said, "Don't talk about this, um." How is that 'Fu Ya Yuan' selling? ”

"Yay!" Libin had an excited look on his face, "There are forty-eight households in total. Just the day before yesterday, the last household was also estimated! Each household, ranging from 4,800 taels to 6,200 taels, has a total price of more than 260,000 taels of silver, and a net profit of more than half, almost 140,000 taels of silver! ”

Guan Zhuofan's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "It's not bad!" 140,000 taels of silver is not a big number, but it proves that this path is feasible. ”

"Yes!" "Buyers say they've seen and lived in bigger houses, but they've never seen or lived in such a nice house!" Also, I've never seen such a clean and tidy alley! If the doorstep can be so clean and tidy every day, every month, paying a little fee, it will be very worthwhile! ”

Guan Zhuofan's "this way" is the way of modern real estate development.

He has made up his mind to be the first real estate developer in China in this time and space, and of course, he must and must be the largest real estate developer in China in the end.

Real estate development, the first important thing, like the original time and space, is naturally "demolition". Different from the 21st century, people in this era have not yet had the consciousness of sitting on the ground and making a windfall as a "nail household" in their minds, as long as the bid is two or three percent higher than the market price, they will happily move, anyway, there are many empty houses in Shanghai.

"Demolition" is very smooth. The place where "Fu Ya Yuan" is located was originally a dilapidated alley, called "Fu Li Lane". Although there is a word "rich" in the name of this alley, there are no rich people living in it, and the houses are all old and old, and they can't afford to sell for a good price, so Libin bought the whole alley, and dozens of households added up to it only cost 26,000 taels of silver.

The old houses were all demolished, forty-eight new houses were built on the original site, and the road in the lane was re-paved, with blue stone slabs from beginning to end. The area of the new houses, slightly different from each other, but the layout is exactly the same. Fuli Lane north and south, the new house east and west each twenty-four households, looking at the balance to the sky, at a glance, the new brand-new, all brushing, extremely pleasing to the eye.

The old house has one story and two floors, all of which are brick and wood structures, but the new house is a two-story brick and stone structure, covering the same area, but the "construction area" is much larger; Sturdy and sturdy, not comparable to the old house.

From the outside, the new house is still blue tiles and white walls, but inside, it is designed and arranged according to the pattern of Western-style buildings, but it appropriately takes care of the "national conditions":

On the first floor, there is the living room and the left and right wings, with a large staircase in the middle, and behind the stairs is the storeroom, the room where the lower people live, and the "stove room", that is, the kitchen. On the second floor, there are a total of five rooms, including the master bedroom, sitting room, dining room and two guest rooms. The master bedroom is a large ensuite with a study.

"Buyers say," Libin couldn't hide his excitement, "I've never seen such a bright and sturdy house!" Also, there are no less than ten buyers of the 'model house' we have set up, and they must buy that house, and some are even willing to pay twice the price. ”

"The 'model house' is just a few more pieces of furniture and furnishings," Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "The decoration of the forty-eight houses is actually the same." ”

"Yes." Libin smiled, "However, buyers just like the layout and furnishings of the 'model house'!" There are a lot of Western things here, and the buyer said, "I'm looking for it myself, and I don't know where to find it!" ”

"This—we can do it for you."

"Yes, our people, that's what they say. There are several buyers who want their own houses, which are arranged according to the 'model house', and do not deviate in the slightest. Our people agreed. They didn't say they had to buy a 'model house'. ”

After a pause, Libin said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the furnishings and decoration of the 'model room' are not cheap - here, we can also make a small amount of money." ”

"It's not a lot of money, but it's not bad to be used as 'after-sales service'."

"The word 'after-sales service'," said Libin, "the buyer listens to it and thinks it is very fresh, and the house is sold, and it is still maintained and repaired? Although there is a little fee, it is very intimate! In addition, pay a little fee every month, the whole lane has a special person to sprinkle and clean, go out every day, are clean, everyone said, I have never seen such a clean road in my life - this 'management fee', worth it! ”
