Chapter 364: The Slums
At the beginning, he also felt that Ye Xing's conditions were extremely aggrieved, and Liu Xuanrui made a lot of money in vain.
But now after such an analysis, how does Zhuo Qingfeng feel, it was Liu Xuanrui who was brought into the pit, and he and Ye Xing made a lot of money in vain.
Once the problems of materials, production capacity and channels are solved, it is not impossible for them to expand rapidly, and even in a very short period of time, it is not impossible to expand several times or ten times.
"In fact, in business, sometimes, you can't just consider the immediate profits, but look at the long-term. ”
"Liu Xuanrui's ambition is very simple, like any emperor, he wants to expand his territory and control the entire land of the Hundred Dynasties. ”
"But our goals are different, this land of the hundred dynasties is just the place where my Star Truth Pavilion rises. ”
Ye Xing's eyes were shining.
In his eyes, the land of a hundred dynasties is too small, but it is an excellent place of cultivation.
Here, no one notices him, and he can continue to grow himself until one day, in front of the world.
The so-called wind rises at the end of Qingping.
Sometimes, a spark can also start a prairie fire.
Zhuo Qingfeng looked at Ye Xing in shock, Ye Xing at this time was standing there quietly, but there was a coercion that he couldn't look up to.
It actually made him, a half-step peak spirit king, a little breathless.
"Who is Xing Shao? This aura, even on Shizun, I have never felt it, he can exude such a terrifying aura at such an age, it is unbelievable. ”
Zhuo Qingfeng felt an incomparable shock in his heart.
"But Xing Shao, what do you want to do in the slums of Xicheng? That place is stinky and broken, and if you want to come here, it's a problem at all. After a while, recovering from the shock, Zhuo Qingfeng was a little speechless.
The slums of Xicheng have always been a headache for many forces in the imperial city.
Especially royalty.
Such a poor and dirty place is located in the imperial city where every inch of land is valuable, it can be said that it is like mustard moss, which can not be cut down with one knife, and it is not easy to govern, and it is a place where the kings of all dynasties have been extremely troubled.
Now Ye Xing actually asked Liu Xuanrui for such a piece of land, which suddenly made Zhuo Qingfeng extremely speechless.
Such a place, although the area is large, but it is useless, and it is not worth anything at all, it is completely inconvenient to manage, and it is like a burden.
"I am going to build the slums of Xicheng into the headquarters of my Star Pavilion's Great Wei Dynasty. Ye Xing said with a smile.
"What?"
Zhuo Qingfeng's eyes widened: "You want to build the headquarters of the Star Truth Pavilion in the slums?"
He exclaimed, his expression as if he had seen a ghost, full of horror.
"That's right. ”
Ye Xing nodded and said: "I thought about it before, where to build the headquarters of Xingdi Pavilion, but after thinking about it, there is no suitable place in the entire imperial city, so I can build a place similar to Dan Pavilion in Xingdi Pavilion, only this slum has a large area and a very low price, and it is inhabited by some poor people, and the house does not have its own property rights, which is very suitable for development." ”
"Xingshao, you are really too impulsive, I thought you wanted to do what you wanted to do in the slums. Zhuo Qingfeng was speechless: "With the conditions we just discussed with Liu Xuanrui, you can directly ask him for a set of the most golden shops in the trading market in the center of the Imperial City to be the headquarters, and now I want such a broken place, although it is very easy to develop, there is no trouble." But the headquarters of the Star Pavilion is located there, who will come over to do business? I guess no one wants to come. ”
Zhuo Qingfeng said with a wry smile, he had known that Ye Xing had this idea, and he would have to stop Ye Xing if he was killed.
Although other places are expensive, at least there are people flowing, there are markets, and slums, let alone the nobles in the imperial city, even normal civilians are reluctant to step in, for fear of tarnishing their feet.
If the headquarters of the Star Pavilions were to be located there, I'm afraid there wouldn't be anyone.
"Lord Zhuo Ge, don't worry, I have a way to turn that slum into a golden zone. Ye Xing said very firmly, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"How to turn the slums into a golden area?" Zhuo Qingfeng looked at suspiciously.
Even if he believed in Ye Xing's methods, he didn't believe that Ye Xing could solve the problem that the royal family of the Dawei Dynasty had been headaches for thousands of years.
Ye Xing didn't answer directly.
"Lord Zhuo Ge, if our Dan Pavilion's business wants to expand, we need to recruit a large number of people, we should still be recruiting people frantically these days, right?"
"That's right, Xing Shao, you have given too many special pills, and all places need manpower, we have recruited a lot of people, but in many places, there are still not enough people, I hope Liu Xuanrui joins to alleviate the problem of some personnel shortages." ”
Although he didn't know why Ye Xing asked this, Zhuo Qingfeng still replied carefully.
"Then let me ask you, those people in the slums have a hard time finding a job in ordinary timesuri. Ye Xing asked again.
"That's for sure, if they have a stable job, they won't have the ability to rent a house together in the imperial city, so they can only stay in the slums. Zhuo Qingfeng said disdainfully.
"Then you said that we would give him a job, would they do it?"
"Then there is no need to say, we must have to do it to break the head, we are Dange, not everyone can come in. Zhuo Qingfeng's eyes widened, "Xing Shao, aren't you going to recruit all the people from the slums to our Dan Pavilion and Xingdi Pavilion?"
"No, no. Speaking of this, Zhuo Qingfeng hurriedly waved his hand: "Absolutely not." ”
"Why not?" Ye Xing asked rhetorically.
"Xingshao, you don't know, these people in the slums, it's not that we look down on them, it's not that there are no characters in them, but they have always been lazy and used to doing things, and they can only do some lowly work, and they are extremely sloppy, like our Dan Pavilion and Xingdi Pavilion, how can we do such an important job for them. Zhuo Qingfeng hurriedly said.
"I don't think so. Ye Xing said lightly: "No one wants to be a scumbag for a lifetime, garbage, or a pariah who is scolded by others, they are looked down upon wherever they go, the reason why they are like this is just that they lack an opportunity, as long as we can give them a chance, a chance to truly gain dignity, instead of giving them a lowly job like other forces, I believe that they will definitely change." ”
"Okay, even if Xing Shao is right, they will work hard, the slum place, such garbage, you built the Xingdi Pavilion, who would want to come?" Zhuo Qingfeng said again.
Ye Xing looked at Zhuo Qingfeng with a light smile, "Let me ask you first, the imperial city is so big, how many large forces are there, how many medium forces are there, and how many small forces are there?"
"I'm afraid there are more than a dozen large forces like the three major families, the Sect Alliance, and our Dan Pavilion, there may be hundreds of medium forces, and even more small forces, at least thousands. Zhuo Qingfeng calculated slightly.
"Do all these forces have shops in the Imperial City?" Ye Xing continued to ask.
"How is it possible, every inch of land in the Imperial City is expensive, those core shops in the most prosperous trading market in the center of the Imperial City, the price is at least millions of medium-grade real stones, and no one has made a move at all, as for the more remote streets in the East City and the South City, it also costs seventy or eighty thousand medium-grade real stones, and it is great that half of the forces in the entire Imperial City can have their own stores. ”
Zhuo Qingfeng thought for a while and said.
These days, in order to expand the Dange market, he has made up for the situation in the imperial city, and he still has a very clear impression of these data.
"Okay, according to what you say, only half of the forces in the Imperial City have shops, so let me ask you, how do the remaining half of the forces do business?"
"It can still be done, such as partnering with other forces, or doing downstream for some forces, and some simply relying on some forces. Zhuo Qingfeng didn't understand what Ye Xing was doing when he said this.
"Then you say, if I build a square, well, it's the kind of super huge commercial building, in it, there are all kinds of shops, there are those who buy pills, some buy spiritual weapons, some improve the bloodline, there are also those who trade blood beasts, sell materials, sell cheats, and even have places to eat, places to entertain, and inns to live in, all of them are gathered in such a large commercial square, do you say anyone is coming?" Ye Xing said with a smile.
Zhuo Qingfeng was already stunned by Ye Xing's description, he had never imagined that there would be such a huge commercial center.
almost blurted out: "Then there is no need to say, as long as the things inside are genuine, they must be crowded with people." ”
At present, the trading market in the land of the Hundred Dynasties still maintains a relatively primitive situation, that is, there is a street full of shops of various forces, there is a street of pills, and there is also a street of blood beasts or something.
Moreover, some valuable industries are gathered together, such as entertainment, places to eat, and inns, all of which are extremely remote, far from the center of the imperial city.
This leads to the fact that some spirit people, when they need to buy pills, they have to run several blocks and look for a long time, and if they want to buy some materials and spiritual weapons, they have to go to other blocks and look for a long time, and finally when it is time to eat, they have to go through several blocks, and they are tired to death.
If there is such a huge commercial center that can find everything in one place, then people must be crazy.
"Xing Shao, you don't want to build such a commercial center, right? But even if you build it, who will come, our Dan Pavilion only sells pills, and nothing else is sold, and when the time comes, there will only be a large number of empty shops, and no one will buy them at all." Zhuo Qingfeng was speechless.
Ye Xing's idea is good, but in a place like the slum, even if a shop is built, there will be no power to buy it.
"This is simple, you said that I will pull our Dange main store over, and then pull the main store of the Bloodline Holy Land and the Instrument Hall over, and put it in the most central position of the square, and then the other shops on the side, only rent but not sell, a shop according to the geographical location, the annual rent is 10,000 medium-grade real stones to 100,000 medium-grade real stones, do you think there will be forces to rent?"
Listening to Ye Xing's words, Zhuo Qingfeng looked at Ye Xing in a daze.
If you pull the Dange Main Store over, and then pull the Bloodline Holy Land and the Instrument Hall over, well, the Instrument Hall and the Ding Instrument Pavilion are actually one family, this ......
Zhuo Qingfeng was completely stunned.
It's definitely fascinating.
And the rent is so cheap, 10,000 medium-grade real stones, many forces without shops will not lose much even if they try it.
And with Xingshao's relationship with the Bloodline Holy Land and the Instrument Palace, let them move the main store over there, it's no problem.
"However, even if we build the commercial plaza well, it is surrounded by slums, and there will not be many visitors. Zhuo Qingfeng couldn't help but say.
"Who said that there are slums around?" Ye Xing laughed: "We recruited all the people who are still worthy of renovation in the slums, and built a spacious and beautiful dormitory area for them, and there is also security, no force dares to go in at will to bully people, do you think they are willing to live?"
Zhuo Qingfeng rolled his eyes, needless to say, the slums are so messy now, let alone protect them, even if it is just to build a new house for them, idiots will live in it.
"The rest of the slums, I will renovate all the places, eradicate all the places, dig out artificial lakes, build artificial gardens, well, build according to the level of the imperial palace, and finally, build a single-family mansion in the scenic area, and sell it at half the price of the imperial city, do you think anyone will buy it?"
Ye Xing looked over with a smile.
At this moment, Zhuo Qingfeng was completely stunned, and his breathing stagnated.
This......
Zhuo Qingfeng didn't dare to imagine that kind of scene anymore.
A commercial plaza that accommodates countless shops, countless beautiful scenery, and the same garden style as the imperial palace, and it is also a single-family mansion, isn't this a major transformation of the entire Xicheng slum and built into a private royal mansion?
If Ye Xing can really build it so well, and the house is sold cheaply, I'm afraid that the nobles of the entire imperial city will go crazy and rush to buy it.
I even want to buy a house to live in!
According to the market price of normal mansions in the imperial city, a mansion is at least tens of thousands of medium-grade real stones, and if it is discounted, even if it is twenty or thirty thousand, one or two hundred buildings will be built in the early stage and sold, which is four or five million medium-grade real stones.
The wealth of the Leng family, a top family, was in hand at once.
Zhuo Qingfeng was already stunned by this number.
A house of twenty or thirty thousand medium-grade real stones, two hundred, isn't it four or five million medium-grade real stones?
That's right.
Oh my God, as long as you sell like this, all the construction costs for the slum renovation in the early stage will be all in hand, right?
And that's not all, how big is the slum of Xicheng? That's about one-twentieth of the size of the Imperial City.
Not to mention 200 mansions, even if you build 2,000 mansions, there is no pressure at all, so wouldn't it be ......
Zhuo Qingfeng was completely speechless, he, a half-step peak spirit king, was even almost scared to death.
Looking at Ye Xing with a mutter, he didn't know what to say anymore.
Who said that asking Liu Xuanrui for a slum in Xicheng is a loss? This is not too profitable.
"The initial investment must be large, and the nobles of the imperial city must see our determination, we must first transform the slum into a garden place. ”
"Secondly, once the commercial plaza is formed, the commercial center of the imperial city will inevitably be tilted, and when the time comes, the land of the west city will be every inch of land, and other places will inevitably depreciate, and the Leng family, Guiyuan Sect, Wuji Sect and other forces that had a large number of heavy assets in the center of the imperial city before, I am afraid that they will lose all their money. ”
Ye Xing's eyes were cold.
He built the land of Xicheng, not only to make money, but also to fight against forces such as the Leng family.
The current Leng family, the funds on the books are probably gone, and even the shops and mansions they own have depreciated significantly.
Then without Ye Xing's hands at all, forces like the Leng family and the Wu family will naturally decline and become a history of the Dawei Dynasty.
"Xing Shao, don't worry, I will arrange someone to do it immediately. ”
Excited, after Zhuo Qingfeng and Ye Xing discussed some details, they immediately hurried out to do something.
He couldn't wait to see Ye Xing's plan come true.
Half a day later, Dan Ge issued a strange announcement: "Recruit a large number of craftsmen, and there is no limit to those who come." ”
Because of the popularity of the special effect pill, today's Dan Pavilion has already become the focus of the entire imperial city, attracting the attention of countless people.
As soon as this announcement came out, all the forces in the entire imperial city were stunned.
What's going on?
Dan Pavilion is a place for refining pills, and it has always only recruited alchemists and apprentices, but this time it suddenly recruited a large number of craftsmen, and the number was unlimited, which made many forces in the imperial city unable to understand.
"Dange can't be because the business is too hot, the original place is not enough, and you want to build more shops, right?"
Quite a few people can't help but be skeptical.
It's just that in the imperial city, every inch of land is valuable, even if Dange finds a craftsman, where will there be land to build a shop for him, and soon this suspicion was vetoed by themselves.
"Or did Dan Pavilion make enough money and want to tear down the original Dan Pavilion building and renovate it?"
As soon as this speculation came out, it immediately attracted the approval of many people.
Dan Pavilion has been suppressed by the Leng family before, whether it is the headquarters or the many shops throughout the imperial city, they are already very old and dilapidated.
In the past, the Dan Pavilion had not been able to occupy much of the market in the Imperial City, and there were few people who went to the Dan Pavilion to buy the pills, and Zhuo Qingfeng did not manage the specific matters of the Dan Pavilion at all, so no one felt that there was anything wrong.
And even if Dange wants to rebuild the building, he doesn't have the financial resources.
But now, the special effect pill is so popular, many people feel that the buildings and shops of the Dange are a little out of step with the times.
At this time, Dange wanted to repair the original shops and buildings, which was naturally normal.
Just when everyone thought so, Dan Ge did another thing that made everyone confused.
Unexpectedly, a recruitment department was directly sent into the slums of Xicheng to recruit, and the main targets for recruitment were craftsmen and waiters.
Dange, is this crazy?
What kind of people are in the slums? It's nice to say that it's lazy to eat, but to put it mildly, it's just a bunch of scum and garbage that can't be supported.
Recruiting such a person into the Dan Pavilion, isn't this smashing your own brand?
And what shocked everyone even more was still to come.
After learning that the pill had come to the slum to recruit people, the entire slum instantly boiled.
People in the slums have always been looked down upon in the imperial city, and when they used to go out to find work, they basically did some miscellaneous low-level work, and the better ones were also thugs, and even some dangerous jobs that normal spirits were unwilling to do.
And they are often looked down upon, and wherever they go, they are inferior, and the hired units are also a garbage force in the imperial city that does not have a good reputation.
When he said it, his face was not bright.
But now, Dan Pavilion actually came to recruit people, which is as shocking as the sun coming out of the west.
What kind of place is Dangaku?
Today's Dan Pavilion is said to be the number one force in the imperial city, and no one will veto it.
Several special effect pills are setting off a huge storm in the Dawei Dynasty, and they are in short supply everywhere, with their original identity, Ping Suli didn't even have the courage to step into the Dan Pavilion, and now when they hear that the Dan Pavilion is recruiting, how can they not be crazy.
In an instant, almost all the spirits in the slums flocked to the recruitment location of the Dan Pavilion, and they all seemed to be crazy.
The entire recruitment site was crowded with people, and there were crowds of people everywhere.
"Everyone is quiet, if you want to join the Dange work, immediately line up in ten long queues, register in order, and if you find that you cut the line, you will not be hired, if you dare to make trouble, you will be severely punished on the spot and executed on the spot. ”
Xu Bo, who was in charge of recruitment, shouted loudly, and the rumbling sound reached everyone's ears.
For a while, the crowd was restless, and the slum people, who had always been very scattered, were surprisingly quiet and quickly lined up.
It's just that in the whole process, there are also people who are behind the queue who are worried that they won't be able to take their turn, after all, Dange will definitely not be able to recruit much, and being in the back is basically equivalent to no hope.
In a hurry, there are some old fritters, relying on themselves to run rampant in the slums, and secretly want to insert in the front.
Xu Bo also heard about some of Ye Xing's plans, and knew the importance of his position, this group of people in the slums, in the future, if they want to develop into the main force of the commercial center service, they must get rid of their habit of being casual and unruly.
After discovering the actions of these people, he immediately asked the Dange guards to capture a few people and kill them in front of the recruitment site on the spot.
Blood splattered, and the originally noisy recruitment site instantly quieted down.
Everyone looked at Xu Bo in shock, but they didn't expect the other party to say that if they kill someone, they would kill people, and they would not be merciful.
Although this is a slum and is basically not protected by the imperial city, it is also the spirit of the Dawei Dynasty, how can it be so cruel and kill if you say it?
Feeling everyone's frightened and angry eyes, Xu Bo snorted coldly and said sharply: "Everyone, the old man has already said that this time we are recruiting workers in Dange, we need a lot of manpower, everyone queues up patiently, and they all have the opportunity to join our Dange, but I said ugly things in front ......."
"Our Dange, it's not the forces that recruited you before, what we need is a team that strictly obeys the command and strictly abides by the rules, if you can't do it, leave immediately, the old man won't say a word. ”
"But if you want to stay and continue to line up, let me abide by the rules, act according to the rules of our Dange, and if I see someone who disobeys the rules again, he will be executed on the spot, and he will not show mercy. ”
"If you are not convinced, or think that our Dange kills innocents indiscriminately, just go to the City Health Department, go to the palace to tell the old man, I Xu Mou, continue here. Xu Bo sneered.
The crowd immediately stirred.
Originally, when they heard that Dange was going to recruit people, the spirit people in the slums were very excited, but now that they saw Xu Bo's ruthless methods, many people were frightened and couldn't help but retreat.
The other party is ruthless, in case he gets in, he makes any mistake and is killed directly, I'm afraid there is no place to say it, and no one will give him a head.
Looking at the crowd below, the corners of Xu Bo's mouth were drawn and he sneered disdainfully: "You may think that the old man's methods are cruel and ruthless, but I tell you, the old man doesn't think so." The old man went all the way, and when others heard that my Dange was going to recruit people in the slums, their first reaction was that our Dange was crazy, because they all felt that the people in the slums were a bunch of scum, garbage, tumors and waste in the imperial city. ”
"But I don't think much about it, I believe that everyone has an upward heart, and has the desire to be admired and looked up to. ”
"Today, my Dange is recruiting workers here, I don't need to say more, I think you all know the status of my Dange. As long as you enter my Dan Pavilion and become a member of my Dan Pavilion, your identity will immediately become different. Walking in the imperial city, no one will look at you with strange eyes, will no longer look down on you with disdain, you can be a man with your head held high, whether it is a high-end restaurant or a top inn, you can walk in proudly, because you are the people of my Dange. ”
