Mao Geng does not have the ability of an architectural designer, and he can't draw beautiful and realistic renderings, but he can finally deal with the three-dimensional schematic diagram, of course, he is very dissatisfied with the lack of artistic three-dimensional axonometric drawings he draws. However, in this era, Mao Geng's three-dimensional schematic diagram is already a unique job, anyway, Zou Yalian, a customer, can understand at a glance, seeing him look at the three-dimensional sketches he drew like appreciating a masterpiece of art, Mao Geng also has three points of pride in his heart.
The luxury scheme designed by Mao Geng is just a hodgepodge of the Song version of the palace and the buildings of later generations, but in the eyes of Zou Yalian, it is a clever design.
Originally, in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty feudal states such as Annan, Zhenwax and Champang, what the Song people did must be good, although Zou Yalian is a member of the Champa royal family, he also has such a fan Song complex. Mao Geng in Zou Yalian's eyes is the most advanced representative of the advanced culture of the Great Song Dynasty, so only the five-body throw can show the yearning of the people of Zhancheng for advanced culture, just like the fascination of later generations for designs such as pants.
Just as the Chinese people of later generations did not dare to comment on the masterpieces of foreign big-name designers, Zou Yalian failed to put forward any constructive opinions on Mao Geng's design. Mao Geng claimed that if you choose the most luxurious architectural scheme, after the completion of this building, the palace of Zhancheng will be enough to be proud of Annam and the real wax, and even compared with the Great Song Palace, in fact, Mao Geng is still a modest statement, it should be said that the Great Song Palace can not be compared. Hearing Mao Geng say this, Zou Yalian could no longer hold back his yearning for this gorgeous building, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must go for this most luxurious plan.
Zou Yalian pondered in his heart, imagining how his cousin King would feel when he saw this gorgeous and exquisite building, not to mention the competition with other aspects of the real wax, at least in the grandeur of the palace, we Zhancheng was unbeatable in the competition of the Three Kingdoms, far ahead. Hehe, my cousin may feel that he has crossed the two major opponents, and he is extremely enjoying himself, so he quits, well, it's not impossible.
Mao Geng didn't know that Zou Yalian was comprehending the essence of the Great Song Dynasty's spiritual victory method, but that Zou Yalian was a playboy who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, greedy for enjoyment and led to a strong anti-war situation, so he had the idiotic idea of guiding the king to strike the truce with arrogance and lasciviousness. Mao Geng thought to himself, if there is no king's willingness to build a palace, what kind of ability does Zou Yalian have!
Mao Geng thought about the problem extremely complicated, and some of the gains and losses were suffered, so he was also a little soft in the subsequent quotation.
Zou Yalian has no objection to calculating the cost by the abbot, the luxury plan is naturally the highest cost per abbot, but Zou Yalian didn't even frown, it seems that his price is not ruthless enough, far less ruthless than the foreigners of later generations, ashamed!
A Song ruler is about 31.2 centimeters, a zhang is 3 meters 12, a square abbot is almost 1o square meters, Mao Geng opened the most luxurious plan is a construction area of 2,000 square abbots, the cost of 160,000 taels of silver, the cost of a square abbot is 80 taels of silver, and a tael of silver at this time in the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to three money, so the cost of a square abbot to 24o guan, is the most affordable building of the full twenty-four times.
Standing in Zou Yalian's position, the import freight of the Great Song Dynasty to Zhancheng, the price of going there will be at least several times more than ten times, and most of the materials used to build this new palace are imported from the Great Song Dynasty.
After talking about the price, we will move on to the specific operation.
Sure enough, as Mao Geng expected, Zou Yalian could not completely make the decision in the construction of the palace. Zou Yalian's idea is to divide the project into two to three phases, the first phase of the project to invest 50,000 taels of silver, and strive for the second phase of 110,000 taels of one-time investment, in case it doesn't work, then the second phase will invest 50,000 taels, and the third phase will be 60,000 taels. As soon as he heard this plan, Mao Geng couldn't help but be impressed by this customer, his mother's this is a smart fishing project, Mao Geng has seen a lot of fishing projects with continuous additional investment in later generations, and I didn't expect this Champa man to have such wisdom!
Mao Geng learned from Cai Jianwen that this time Zou Yalian came to the Great Song Dynasty, and the lord and faction of the city of Zhancheng prepared enough silver for activities, as long as the Great Song Dynasty could send envoys to the city of Zhancheng to mediate, they did not hesitate to go up and down, it is said that they prepared no less than 50,000 taels of silver, maybe this is where Zou Yalian's confidence lies.
Anyway, the investment in the first phase of the project is guaranteed, Mao Geng calculated, 50,000 taels of silver, a project of 150,000 guan, the profit is at least more than 80,000 guan, and in about half a year, it can make a profit of 80,000 guan, even if the second and third phases of the later are not on, it is enough to be satisfied.
After finding out the details of Zou Yalian, Mao Geng proposed to pay 10,000 taels of silver in advance as the starting money for the project, and Zou Yalian proposed to be guaranteed by Cai Jianwen, Cai Jianwen knew Mao Geng's strength, and of course he was willing to guarantee it.
At this point, there has been a lot of talk about the Zhancheng project, but in Mao Geng's heart, who to send to Zhancheng to take charge of this overseas project has not been decided for a while. In addition, there is also concern about whether the employees of Huaxi Construction Company are willing to go overseas. Chen Liang is not in Lin'an at the moment, and this matter has to be discussed with Chen Liang to find a solution.
Zou Yalian felt particularly excited about being able to negotiate this pile-level building, taking the words of the Song people, this so-called lost east corner of the harvest of Sangyu also, finally did not come to Lin'an in vain, so Zou Yalian had to feast Mao Geng Wenyuan in the evening. In the chat, it turns out that Zou Yalian is also one of Wen Yuan's readers, saying that since the "New Newspaper" line, there are also sporadic "New Newspaper" to Champang, before the "New Paper" line, Hong Mai's "Yi Jianzhi" also circulated in Zhancheng, but "Yi Jianzhi" is written in classical Chinese, is composed of a small story that is not related to each other, far less enjoyable than Wen Yuan and Chen Liang's vernacular novels, Zou Yalian can be described as Wen Yuan and Chen Liang's loyal readers, after coming to the Great Song Dynasty, in order to collect Qi "New Newspaper", This gentleman also spent some silver taels.
For the hospitality of overseas friends, Mao Geng felt that it was really difficult to shirk, I couldn't imagine that this gentleman was still a fan of Wen Yuan, then, okay, then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate, according to Cai Jianwen's meaning, the chosen place is naturally Sanyuanlou.
The four of them were about to go to Sanyuan Building, when a maid came in and whispered something in Mao Geng's ear, and Mao Geng got up and said:
"Sit down for a moment, and come down as you go."
Mao Geng came to the reception room, saw Han Yanxuan at a glance, and hurriedly saluted:
"It turned out that Lord Han was here, which made Peng Sheng shine. What do you think about Lord Han? ”
Han Yanxuan smiled:
"If you are also Pengshu here, then the official's mansion can't even be called a humble house."
Mao Geng listened to Han Yanxuan's words, and immediately chewed the meaning, the heart must also be Han Yanxuan to build a new building with such a style, and the heart said that Han Yanzhou sent himself two beautiful maids, let's repay the peach, of course, we have to have something in return, I'm afraid it's not okay to be free, but the 20% discount can at least be given to Han Yanzhou, in case Han Yanzhou haggles hard, 7% off is OK. Thinking so, he said:
"If Lord Han can see the style of this house, Huaxi Construction Company can also build one for Lord Han, Chen Liang is the director of Huaxi Construction Company, and I think that it is no problem to give Han Daren some discounts."
After Mao Geng said this, he felt a little blushing, and people said that they would send the beautiful maid, and there was no ambiguity at all. But I still talk about business with others, and the realm seems to be a little worse. People who come from the business world are not good at this.
But Han Yanxuan laughed and said:
"Oh, I took a look at it, and I like the style of your building very much, yes, I want to build a new building of this style, but not now. Now, the focus is still on attacking Taiwan. For the time being, the official will not consider building a building. ”
Mao Geng was a little ashamed when he heard this, oh, he seemed a little at a loss, and said in his heart that we really underestimated Han Yanxuan's dedication.
In a blink of an eye, Han Yanxuan's face suddenly became solemn, and he said:
"I heard that the clan figure in Zhancheng came to you, I said Mao Geng, why are you so confused! At this time, the court and the central government are rumoring that it is not good for you, and you are not drinking and having fun at home, but you are going to provoke this person from the city to do something! ”
Mao Geng was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that this Zhancheng surnamed Zou had long been under the surveillance of the Great Song Dynasty, why didn't he think of it!
Han Yanxuan continued:
"I said Mao Geng, I heard that the Jin people are also looking for opportunities to contact you, you have to be careful!"
Mao Geng peeked at Han Yanxuan, and felt that Han Yanxuan was indeed more concerned about himself, so Shi Li said:
"Thank you Lord Han for reminding me, Xiao Ke understands."
Han Yanxuan smiled at this time, and asked again:
"You won't meddle in the matter of occupying the city! People in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty are afraid to avoid it, it's better for you to openly associate with this person, and you are not afraid of ruining your future! What did you all talk about? ”
When Mao Geng heard this, he was full of slander in his heart for the inaction of the Great Song Dynasty in diplomacy, but Han Yanxuan obviously misunderstood himself, so he hurriedly informed Han Yanxuan of Zou Yalian's intention to build a large construction project in Zhancheng, and of course he did not hide the intention of Zou Yalian's move. Speaking of which, Mao Geng just hopes that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty will not obstruct this deal.
Han Yanxuan smiled, obviously becoming much more relaxed, and asked with a smile:
"I said Mao Geng, I see that you have made a lot of money, and you want to make more money all day long, even the money of this small state, you will not let go! You sue me, how much can you make on this deal? ”
Mao Geng had no choice but to tell the truth:
"If it's good, you can have two or three hundred thousand yuan, and no matter how bad it is, you can earn seven or eighty thousand yuan. can also pay a tax for the Great Song Dynasty, and the official family will never stop this matter! ”
Han Yanxuan waved his hand and said:
"As long as you don't get involved in the political affairs of Champa in the name of the official, who will stop you! In the matter of trade and trade, the imperial court not only did not help it, but encouraged it very much, but there was no need to worry about this. I'm just worried that you don't know anything about officialdom, you are also an official now, and you have to pay attention to your identity when dealing with people outside the fan. ”
As soon as Han Yanxuan said this, Mao Geng's heart was put in his stomach. But then Mao Geng was a little unwilling, so he didn't want the battle to affect the project, so he said to Han Yanjian:
"In fact, in a small opinion, it is not impossible for the imperial court to send envoys to preside over the peace between Champa and Zhenwax, after all, Zhancheng and Zhenwax are at least nominally the vassal states of the Great Song Dynasty, this is one of them. Second, over the years, Annam has encroached on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is really not a friendly neighbor state, and what the Great Song Dynasty is most happy to see is that the Champa city south of Annam can properly contain Annam, and if there is a Champa city to confront Annam in the south, Annam will be much more honest. In today's situation, Champa and the real wax sandpiper are fighting, Annan fishermen are profitable, and Annan has no burden, so he will threaten the Great Song Dynasty. Lord Han, in my opinion, the Great Song Dynasty should have done something in diplomacy and contributed to a situation that was favorable to our Great Song Dynasty. ”
Han Yanxuan nodded, agreeing with Mao Geng's statement in his heart, sighed again, and said:
"Alas! For the three vassal states of Annam, Champong, and Zhenwax, they have been left to fight for so many years, and it was many years ago that envoys were sent to mediate disputes, and the imperial court would never interfere in their disputes this time. ”
Speaking of this, Han Yanxuan's tone changed, and he smiled:
"However, it is inconvenient for the official to come forward, but there is one person who can give it a try."
When Mao Geng heard this, his heart immediately became eager, and he immediately asked:
"Oh, who is this man?"
Han Yanxuan laughed and said heartily:
"This person is Chen Liang, isn't he the director of your Huaxi Construction Company! He is not an official, but Chen Liang's name is well-known in the Great Song Dynasty, and when he arrives in Zhancheng, it is expected that the royal family in Zhancheng will not treat Chen Liang slowly. If Chen Liang is willing to go, maybe it really has some effect, hehe, try your luck, it's also good! ”
When Han Yanxuan said this, Mao Geng pondered for a while, and really felt that Chen Liang was indeed a rare candidate.
