Chapter 519 Housing Prices in Shanghai Soar

The so-called hearsay, naturally there are many untruths, such as the description of Wang Feng's image, is an eight-foot-tall, full of meat, and a scar on his forehead with a vicious-looking middle-aged man.

This is obviously from the Qing Dynasty's smear and uglification of the Democratic Alliance Army and Wang Feng, of course, the eldest brother does not say the second brother, the Democratic Alliance Army has guò "Xinhua Daily", and the Qing court is also extremely slanderous, and the serialized secret history of the Qing Palace has been compiled into Yue Opera, which is not only performed by the Hangzhou Yue Opera Troupe, but also widely spread in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong!

The people of Lanfang Company also knew that the rumors were untrue, but the rumors were so terrifying that there were always some drums in their hearts, and Liu Asheng muttered: "Let's not talk about whether the Democratic Alliance is willing to accept us and others, what if he proposes to annex our Lanfang Company?" You know, he has several warships captured from the British, and he is fully capable of crossing the sea, and he doesn't even look down on us at all, and ignores us like the Qing Dynasty, isn't it a trip in vain? ”

Zhang Decai said: "Brother Tai, whether it is successful or not, we must always give it a try, it's a big deal that we still learn like before, pulling the tiger skin of the Democratic Alliance to scare the Dutch, and now, this is our only way to live." ”

"Not bad!" Que Liubo also said: "Brother Tai, today I will take a few brothers with Decai to the mainland, and strive to meet Wang Feng, the leader of the Democratic Alliance, to find out his true intentions, but the Dutch are there, and I hope that Brother Tai and the brothers will delay it for a few more months." ”

"I'll try my best." Liu Asheng groaned slightly, and then nodded

In the afternoon, a nondescript fishing boat sailed into the sea. Head northwest, at the same time. Wang Feng also appeared in Shanghai Tang.

A few days ago, some people from Shanghai went to Suzhou to file a complaint. It is said that the housing prices and rents in Shanghai have both soared, the people of Shanghai are miserable, and the housing prices in Suzhou and Songjiang have also risen, Wang Feng immediately realized the severity of the problem, and hurriedly explained the matter of Nanjing to Hong Xuanjiao and the Seventh Army Jiang Chaohui, first returned to Suzhou, and took Sheng Xuanhuai to Shanghai County.

In Wang Feng's mind, Sheng Xuanhuai is the candidate for the future Minister of Commerce, so Sheng Xuanhuai needs to be by his side to deal with economic-related affairs.

The current county magistrate of Shanghai County is Xu Maode, a famous gentry in Shanghai. He is the county magistrate of Shanghai County, who was democratically elected by one person, one vote.

"Shanghai because of convenient transportation and economic development, in just one or two years into a large number of people, resulting in housing in short supply, since 1854 our army occupied Zhejiang, the average land price has risen about five times, such as the land in the area of Xinzha, in the past no one cared about, now it has increased to more than four or five times, although the road is far away from each mu is not more than 100 taels. Now it has also increased to five times, and they are scrambling to buy it, sparing no expense.

Foreign businessmen and wealthy people competed for land, such as Xu Maode, the county magistrate. It has 2,900 acres of unbuilt land, 320 acres of built land, and 51 western-style houses. There are 222 dwellings, three of which are used as houses. There are more than 1,890 bungalows and street houses, according to the rough estimate of subordinates. Last year's rent receivable was at least 120,000 taels of silver."

Zhang Haojie, director of the Shanghai Police Bureau, looked at Wang Feng with an unkind face, trembling and reporting, and at the same time, his eyes swept out of the door from time to time, blaming Xu Maode in his heart for why he didn't come, he was a soldier of the former Democratic Alliance, feeling the anger in Wang Feng's heart, he couldn't stand it.

After listening patiently,Wang Feng asked:"Zhang Haojie,What about you?" Have you ever been involved in real estate speculation? ”

Zhang Haojie said in a trembling voice: "Shanghai's real estate market is hot, and my subordinates can't help it, and they also put together 30,000 taels of silver to invest in." ”

"Huh!" Wang Feng smiled weirdly: "Zhang Haojie,It's a good mix,I've only been the chief of the police for a few years,I have a net worth of 30,000 taels of silver?" Would you like to ask you to give a briefing and introduce your experience of making a fortune to the whole army? ”

"Plop!" A sound,Zhang Haojie knelt down in fright,Kowtowed again and again and said:"The commander-in-chief spares his life,His subordinates are not greedy,But borrowed 28,000 taels from Fukang Qianzhuang,I put the two thousand taels saved by thrift into it,The subordinates sold the land and returned the money,The subordinates no longer dare to speculate in the house。 ”

"Fukang Qianzhuang? Hu Xueyan? The rice has not been fried and has begun to speculate in real estate! The corners of Wang Feng's mouth showed a hint of playfulness, and he was a little helpless in his heart, obviously pointing out a broad road to Hu Xueyan, but this person didn't go, he wanted to make a crooked ramp!

Sheng Xuanhuai glanced at Wang Feng and cautiously persuaded: "Wang Feng, although Director Zhang is not good at borrowing money to speculate in real estate, strictly speaking, he has not violated the law, so it is better to forget it this time, sell the land and return the money, and don't take it as an example." ”

Wang Feng said noncommittally: "According to the law, I really can't deal with Zhang Haojie, but behind the loan of 28,000 taels from Fukang Qianzhuang,In fact, there is another form of corruption,If Zhang Haojie is not the chief of the Shanghai County Police Department,But a common man,Do you think Hu Xueyan will lend him so much silver?"

In addition, on the surface,This is a loan relationship,In the future, Zhang Haojie will make money from speculating in houses,Return the principal with interest to Hu Xueyan,The two of them have two clear money,So is this the case in fact? Obviously not,Zhang Haojie made a fortune,Can't do without Hu Xueyan's loan,He must know his name,Thanks,If Hu Xueyan asks him to do things in the future,Do you say he will do it or not? ”

"This" Sheng Xuanhuai didn't squeak,28,000 taels of silver loan,Steady profit and no loss,This is an invisible bribe,For the Sheng family, this money is not eye-catching at all,But for Zhang Haojie, who is from a civilian background,And for Zhang Haojie, who is in an important position,This is clearly an irresistible temptation,The money is borrowed,In the future,It's not a bribe,Don't borrow in vain!

Wang Feng set his eyes on Zhang Haojie again,Murmuring:"In an important position,Temptation is naturally everywhere,But as a public official,You must resist all kinds of temptations,And public servants eat a stable meal,It's okay to be well-off,It's hard to get rich,You want to get rich,I can understand,I won't stop it,That's it,You go to the Songjiang City Police Station tomorrow to make a resignation report,The police chief is no longer suitable for you。 ”

Zhang Haojie's heart sank,But he didn't dare to beg for mercy,With Wang Feng's style,The result of such a treatment is already very merciful,At this time,He actually thought of it,He should take advantage of the news that he was dismissed has not yet spread,Sell the land as quickly as possible,Then pay back the silver owed to Hu Xueyan,It is estimated that you can still make 10,000 taels,Let's honestly get a small business in the second half of my life。

"Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your kindness, and my subordinates will retire!" Zhang Haojie got up,Bow deeply,Walk out。

"Huh? Director Zhang, why did you leave? Is the commander-in-chief in there? As soon as he went out, Xu Maode came and asked in surprise.

Zhang Haojie didn't want to say more,Said vaguely:"The commander-in-chief is here,I'll go out to do something,County Magistrate Xu, please。 Then the pace was picked up.

Xu Maode was a little puzzled by Zhang Haojie's hurried appearance, but he didn't think much about it, and he quickened his pace a little, and walked towards the yard. (To be continued......)
