Chapter 332: Surprises Everywhere (Part II)
"Yes, these are the shops." Wu Guo pointed to the buildings around him in the distance.
As soon as Wu Guo said this, Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that these houses were built, but no one lived in them, and it turned out that these were reserved for business.
"We haven't seen it yet, what's wrong?" Gao Shilian immediately asked.
"Those two don't hurry up to the Ministry of Commerce to pick it up, otherwise, the good position will be snatched away by others." Wu Guo hurriedly spoke.
"This is not in a hurry, we have other people in charge of this matter, but we want to ask Brother Wu, have you bought all these shops?" Wei Zheng asked curiously.
"Buy? Can't buy it. Hearing this, Wu Guo immediately smiled bitterly and said.
"What do you mean?" Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng were stunned for a moment, "I don't think there are many people in this Yumen Pass, these shops should be ownerless." ”
According to their Ministry of Commerce, these shops are not for sale for the time being, only rented, and the lease period is only one year, one year is signed, the rent is not expensive, one year is calculated, one year according to the area and location, they use the area of that square meter...... I don't know how to do it, but according to the nearest shop, which is the shop around this square, a shop about the size of a yard, the rent is only 100 yuan a year, that is, 10 yuan. Wu Guo said.
"It's really not expensive." Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian nodded, a store as big as the second courtyard only needs ten times a year's rent, mainly if this location is here, a store with the same location in Chang'an, the rent for a year is absolutely impossible at this price.
"It's a pity, I originally wanted to buy it, but now it seems impossible, but the other party said that if we want to buy it, we can also buy it, as long as we rent it, we will have the right of first refusal at that time." Wu Guo said.
Hearing this, a bright light flashed in Gao Shilian's mind, and his expression instantly became strange: "Brother Nawu, what location did you choose?" ”
"Right around the corner ahead." Wu Guo pointed to a shop around this square in the distance, and the location was naturally excellent.
"Brother, if I were you, you would rent a few more, a few with a good location, and a few with a less good location." Gao Shilian paused for a moment and then spoke.
"Why?" Wu Guo was stunned for a moment, and he asked a little incomprehensibly.
"Because I think it's not that Dahan's store doesn't sell, but that it's ...... Do you think the price here will be the same as the price it sells for now in a year's time? Gao Shilian couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"This ......" Wu Guo was stunned for a moment, and instantly figured this out, because in the future, with the continuous increase of trade between here and Datang, especially if various shops continue to transport things to Datang, then there is no need to think about it...... Yumen Pass will definitely not be empty!
Do you still need to ask about the price of the store here at that time? That's a sky-high price! But if you sell it now, the price will definitely not be too much! Because there aren't many people buying it now!
"This ......" Wu Guo soon smiled bitterly, and then arched his hand at Gao Shilian: "Thank you Brother Gao for your advice, but I'm afraid even if I want to rent more shops, it's impossible." ”
"Oh? Why is that? Gao Shilian asked with some curiosity.
"Because the Ministry of Commerce has made restrictions, according to the different funds, the number of shops that can be rented is also different, I am not afraid of the jokes of the two brothers, my little brother, my funds are enough to rent two, and the area is not too big, but if I rent one in this square, I can't rent another one." Wu Guo shook his head helplessly and said.
Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, saying this, they don't have to think that they all know that Huo Gang really paid attention to this, otherwise he would not have made such a restriction, this person ...... It's really well thought out.
Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng actually knew the advantages of the Han cloth, how could they not know such a thing.
But knowing is knowing, there are some things that they can't say, but as soon as Wu Guo said this, the two of them knew...... This Huo Gang's thoughts are always ahead of everyone, and the more Gao Shilian thinks about it, the more he feels that one move is too second.
If nothing else, how much can the shops in the city sell for? Gao Shilian can't estimate it, but he thinks that this number is probably at least hundreds of thousands? This is already a very terrifying number, you must know how much the treasury income of the entire Datang is in a year? It's just a few million.
And Huo Gang can get these shops by selling them a little?
At this moment, Huo Gang naturally didn't know that Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng had guessed his thoughts, but it didn't matter if he knew, because Huo Gang thought so, of course Huo Gang understood the advantages of real estate.
Why not make money when you can make it? Because Huo Gang knew very well that Yumen Pass would be very prosperous in the future, he naturally prepared for this in advance.
It is foreseeable that this is a huge amount of wealth, and when the time comes, if the entire Han needs funds, it will naturally be able to withdraw a wave directly, I have to say, if this thing is from the perspective of an ordinary person, this is indeed a pitted place.
But from the perspective of a ruler, real estate is indeed a good means to make money! Especially if Huo Gang doesn't earn this money himself, it will be earned by others in the future, for example, if he sells it to others at a low price now, won't the room go up next year?
It will inevitably rise at that time, and in this case, it is better for him to earn this money directly, and then he can provide more services to these merchants.
After chatting with Wu Guo for a while, Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng also walked to the Ministry of Commerce curiously, and they wanted to know how this Ministry of Commerce worked.
The Ministry of Commerce is not far from here, Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng came over quickly, and when they came, Gao Shilian quickly saw Zheng Ning, Zheng Ning naturally saw two people, unlike others, Zheng Ning knew them.
However, seeing the clothes on the two people, Zheng Ning knew what the two people meant, so he just smiled from afar and bowed his hand, and then didn't come over to say hello.
There are already a lot of businessmen here, and everyone is busy consulting with the people in the Ministry of Commerce about related matters, so no one has any idea of them at that time, while Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng are observing from the side, and the most important thing is that they saw several large bulletin boards at the door of the Ministry of Commerce.
There are many laws and regulations on this bulletin board, and Gao Shilian knows at a glance that these are ordinary laws, that is, they are the ones that are used and closely related to all merchants when they often open stores.
Among them, the most critical articles, the first is the tax law, this tax law stipulates that in the entire Han Dynasty, everyone strictly prohibits tax evasion, and any tax evasion and tax evasion will be severely punished once discovered, especially businessmen.
In addition, there are different tax methods for different businessmen, for example, some small traders, all of which are fixed taxes, that is, no matter how much your income is, the amount of tax paid each month is a certain amount, even if this amount is as low as a penny per month, you must pay taxes.
The second is that there is a relevant patent law.
This article is of great interest to both Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng, and this one is also described in detail below.
The patent law is aimed at the inventions of some craftsmen, and all craftsmen who have invented new things can apply for patents at the patent office under the Ministry of Commerce. A description of the invention is required to apply for a patent, and after the application is approved, no one other than the inventor of the patent is allowed to produce or operate for profit.
All these operations require the permission of the inventor.
After reading these descriptions, Gao Shilian couldn't help but pat his thigh and said: "This patent law is so interesting, it provides great protection for businessmen who make innovative research and development, even if their secret formulas are stolen, they don't have to worry." ”
"Yes, and in this way, it can greatly encourage these craftsmen to invent and create, and the craftsman invents and creates more advanced things, and the owner to which he belongs does not have to worry about theft, then he can make more profits, and these profits will definitely be rewarded to the craftsman, and the craftsman will have greater motivation."
"It's a perfect, very good cycle." Wei Zheng also nodded and said.
"It's just a genius, I don't know who formulated this law, but this has a great promotion for the entire business behavior, did Wei Gong find that Huo Gang is too proficient in this business behavior, whether it is these laws or the money bank, it is the case, if these are not Huo Gang's ideas, then Huo Gang also has great talents!" Gao Shilian nodded with emotion and said.
"Well, I don't know anything else, but Qian Zhuang, including this patent law, I think it should have been proposed by Huo Gang." Wei Zheng thought for a moment and spoke.
"Why?" Gao Shilian was a little curious.
"You think, those who can propose these methods are definitely talented people, and Huo Gang has only just risen for a year, and such a person cannot be willing to be lonely, whether it is Datang or in other countries, he must already have a reputation, and it is impossible to follow Huo Gang all the time." Wei Zheng thought for a moment and said.
"There's a point in saying that." Gao Shilian thought about it and had to admit that what Wei Zheng said made sense, people like this must be unwilling to be lonely.
Because Huo Gang's rise is accidental, it is impossible for such a person to be willing to be lonely all the time, and let everything he has learned disappear in vain.
