Chapter 667 Cement Paving
Soon it was time for the bidding, and Lin Ran had already asked people to renovate the hundred gardens. The big slogan and the red silk leather arranged the courtyard of the competition into a sea of red.
When the merchants saw this prosperous appearance, they thought that they had gone to the wrong place, and that they had gone to a place where they had a happy event.
In this bidding, Lin Ran pulled the palace maids who had been trained in the palace before to help, and guided the businessmen to sit.
The weather was relatively hot, and Lin Ran deliberately asked people to add ice to the house, which was very cool.
When everyone arrived, Lin Ran let everyone tell everyone the bidding rules.
The businessmen participate every time, and it still feels quite novel. When I listened to the rules, I thought it was pretty good. Bidding is not like an auction, where everyone can hear how much money is being offered. This method of secretly writing out the price in your heart is still very acceptable.
The bidding was carried out in an orderly manner, Lin Ran was hidden behind the scenes, and everything was done by his right-hand men.
After the merchants wrote down their bids, they put them all into a square wooden box. After writing the book, the merchants were taken out of the venue and walked around the garden.
When the merchants left, the box was taken to the house where Lin Ran was, and then Lin Ran supervised and listed everyone's bidding price, and finally the highest bidder was won.
There are many roads to be repaired, and Lin Ran first tested the water on several main roads in the capital, not only to accumulate experience for later operations, but also because there are many rich people in the capital.
By the time the merchants had finished walking around the garden, the results of the bidding had come out and were posted at the garden and the city gate.
The winning businessmen were beaming with joy and joy. Those who didn't win the bid were disappointed. However, because this is a bid held by the court, no one dares to be presumptuous.
Of course, there are also people who have more active brains, and after knowing that this cement was made by the Ministry of Industry, they try their best to get into a relationship with the Ministry of Industry.
So much so that the officials and directors of the Ministry of Industry suddenly had a lot of relatives and a lot of people who gave gifts.
However, Lin Ran said first, no matter who it is, it is not possible to use the public for personal gain. In particular, the formula of the cement made those people sign a confidentiality agreement, and once it leaked out, it would be severely punished.
Because of these rules and regulations, even if the people in the Ministry of Industry want to do something behind their backs, they have to weigh it.
After the bidding, the money was quickly arrived, and the capital began to build roads. At first, there must be inconvenience, and there will be some gossip. However, Lin Ran learned from modern times, repairing side by side, so that it would not affect the passage.
By the time the first road was repaired, it was already ten days later. Looking at the wide and smooth road, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very excited. They rode back and forth in the carriage over and over again, and their faces were almost smiling like flowers.
As soon as this road came out, some of the original discordant voices never appeared again. Even, some people approached the Ministry of Industry and asked if the roads in other places would be repaired, whether they would engage in bidding or something.
The merchants who had won the bidding before, although they had spent a lot of money, had also reaped benefits in other places. The businessmen who tasted the sweetness were eager to build all the roads in the country for the court.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Ran simply became angry and began to shoot the cement road out with the capital as the center.
In some places, which are too far away, the people from the Ministry of Industry will take the person in charge selected by Lin Ran to build a factory together.
When the court was in full swing to build roads, the wedding date of Lin Ming and Yang Qingyun was also set.
