Chapter 329 Money is tight
In addition, other bits and pieces of trimming and decoration will take a month to get it right.
Chen Youyi estimated in her heart that it would be almost the end of the year before the Wangjiang Tower could be fully built, so she thought about waiting for the official opening of the Wangjiang Tower in the spring of next year.
On this day, Chen Youyi took a turn on the construction site of Wangjiang Tower, and after nothing happened, she was in a good mood, so she pulled Xiaoxue and said, "Let's go to the riverside for a walk, we have been here for so long, and we haven't enjoyed the scenery along the riverside." ”
Xiaoxue smiled, "I walked to the river that day, and there was nothing to see, and all I saw when I got there was nothing more than water."
But Chen Youyi still insisted on going over, so she took Xiaoxue to the riverside, there was really nothing here, the built embankment looked quite strong, the water of the river gently patted the embankment, and the breeze swayed their skirts.
Chen Youyi glanced into the distance, "The scenery here is still good." ”
"I've heard that this place used to be very prosperous, and there was a harbor where there were many people trading, and there were many merchants, and all kinds of novelties from other places or abroad came from here, but since the levee burst and washed away here, it has not been built yet, so it looks very deserted." Xiaoxue said slowly, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the river.
At this time, Chen Youyi saw that along the riverside, there were indeed a few places where ships docked, and there were many workers who came and went to carry goods, and it seemed that they should be temporary docks.
But that place is some distance from Wangjiang Tower, and if you go from that harbor to Wangjiang Tower, you have to make a big bend, Chen Youyi stood in place and frowned quietly, looking at the distance, then looking at the feet, and then looking around.
Xiaoxue looked at her strangely, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?" ”
Chen Youyi didn't answer, turned around, stood in place and glanced at Wangjiang Tower from a distance, frowning slightly, "Do you think it's not beautiful to see our Wangjiang Tower here." ”
Wangjiang Tower has not been built yet, so she can't see what it looks like, Xiaoxue glanced at her gaze, and couldn't say anything.
Chen Youyi continued, "If there is a docking bay here, and a big road just leads to our Wangjiang Tower, do you think that after those merchants come here, will the first one to go is our Wangjiang Tower?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Xiaoxue immediately nodded and said, "Of course, although I can't see what Wangjianglou looks like now, but standing here and looking up slightly, I believe that Wangjianglou will definitely be the best restaurant here when the time comes, and it is so close to the riverside, if there is convenient transportation, those rich businessmen will naturally be the first to go to Wangjianglou." ”
Chen Youyi pointed to the distance again, "You see that there is a temporary harbor dock, the government should plan to build a port over there, but because of the problem of funds, so it has not been invested in construction, I heard Xu Linfeng say before, because the government has no money, so I hope that the rich businessmen of the people can pay for the construction of the port out of their own pockets, if this port is built, the ships dock, and all kinds of income in the port, belong to this rich businessman." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Xue's eyes widened, and she felt a little incredible, "Really? If anyone can build a port, the income will be huge. ”
Chen Youyi nodded, but her brows tightened again, she had such an idea, but now she has invested all her funds in Wangjiang Tower, and it is really difficult to build a port.
Maybe the investment in the port is even greater than the investment in Wangjiang Tower, and thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver may not be able to be built.
Thinking about this, Chen Youyi had no choice but to sigh, and without saying anything, she walked towards Wangjiang Tower with Xiaoxue.
Along the way, almost all of the people I saw were workers building shops or houses, and many wealthy merchants saw the business opportunities here, and after the floods, they razed the place to the ground, and now that the embankment has been repaired, people have begun to rebuild shops on these places that were originally washed away.
If you can build this port by yourself, the goods stored by the ships that dock here in the future will be rented and operated by yourself, and the future development prospects are immeasurable.
But the most lacking at the moment is the capital, no funds, everything is just a fantasy, although the income of Wangjiang Tower will be very high in the future, but it has just been built now, and the construction has to temporarily return the money financed to the people, so in more than a year, they basically have little profit to earn.
If you want Wangjiang Tower to make money, you will have to have income for more than a year after it opens, and by that time, I am afraid that this port has already been built.
After returning home, Chen Youyi has been thinking about this in her heart, and it just so happened that Li Tianyou came to her to say something at this time, and when she walked in the door, she heard Chen Youyi let out a long sigh, "What's the matter, sighing like this, is there any difficulty?" ”
Chen Youyi hurriedly raised her head when she heard the voice, "Why are you here?" ”
"There is something I want to tell you about over there in Wangjiang Tower." Seeing that Chen Youyi's face was not very good, Li Tianyou asked with some concern, "What happened, it's rare to see you sigh like this." ”
Chen Youyi knew that Li Tianyou was a very thoughtful person, and maybe he could help him come up with an idea, "You sit down first, and I'll tell you something." After Li Tianyou sat down, Chen Youyi spoke, "There is a vacant land by the river opposite our Wangjiang Tower, and no one wants that vacant land yet, I inquired, there are several wealthy businessmen who plan to build a port in another place, so they didn't look at the vacant land opposite Wangjiang Tower, I thought, can we also build a port there." ”
"First, you can treat this port as a business, and you can also use this port to sell our Wangjiang Tower, you see."
After listening to what she said, Li Tianyou nodded again and again, "This is a good idea, I have also seen the vacant land you mentioned, if it can be used, it would be great, not to mention that if a port is built there, it can also strengthen the embankment, which is a good thing." ”
But Chen Youyi became embarrassed, "A good thing is indeed a good thing, but the current funds are too scarce, to build this port, I estimated that it will cost at least 30,000 taels of silver, but I don't have that much money now." ”
