Chapter 56: Flipping Houses
This reason is not complicated, it is clear at one point, the key is that you have to have capital, no matter how cheap the house is, then a random set is a few hundred taels, but it is not a business that can be done with a few dozen taels.
What's more, if you have little money, you bought two or three sets, once destroyed in the war, then there is no return, and you don't dare to invest at all, and the big households with a lot of money in the capital can naturally think of this, the key Li Zicheng is known as a big killer, in the capital, the big households that can live well are basically taking refuge in Dashun, at this time the Qing army entered the customs, they were too busy to take care of themselves, where can they free up their hands to do such a business.
To put it simply, the rich people who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty were in an underground state, and they did not dare to act in a big way, and the same was true for those who were in the Ming Dynasty, and there were not many big families who took refuge in Dashun, and they were even more anxious at this time, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yang Xin already had more than 400,000 taels of silver at this time, and Daniel Zhang took 50,000 taels with him, but the 19 new 100 households invested another 50,000 taels of money, which is equivalent to more than 400,000 taels of available silver, and the Fan family's goods payment of more than 400,000 taels, after the city is broken, they have to give it to others, naturally they cannot be used.
The more people discussed, the more they felt that this business was being done, and the radical Mrs. Chen even suggested increasing investment and investing another 100,000 taels of silver.
However, it was vetoed by Yang Xin, investment is risky, and you must be cautious when entering the market! I just imagined that the Qing army would not embarrass the rich, and I will not know what the reality is until I see the Qing army.
The key to investment is to grasp the situation, if the bet is right, it is a million profits, if the bet is wrong, it is not good to go bankrupt, but you can't bet too much.
This business is a big gamble, taking millet from the fire, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, Yang Xin naturally understands this, so in order to improve the probability of success, he also spares no effort to guide the gang of homeless people in front of him.
"Location, the most important thing is location!"
Yang Xin repeated: "There must be a lot of potential for appreciation, for example, the shops on Qipan Street, this is the most prosperous area in the capital, Uncle Tian, you are personally responsible, go there with me in the afternoon to investigate, which shops are for sale, and what is the price!" ”
Uncle Tian hurriedly promised, Yang Xin is now busy with military affairs, and it is not easy to find time, but this chessboard street is related to the overall situation, Yang Xin is not at ease, and plans to go and see it in person.
"There are many rich areas in the south of the city, Aunt Chen, you are responsible for this piece!"
Mrs. Chen was overjoyed.
"Remember to spread out your purchases, don't concentrate on one area, in case there is a war there, it will be completely finished!"
Yang Xin seems to be leading an ancient house buying group, carrying out the only professional real estate speculation business in the world.
……
On the chessboard street, Zhang's tooth shop, Zhang Laocai was helplessly looking at the more than ten customers around him.
If it was usual, he would be very happy, whether it was to sell or buy a house, as long as someone was willing to come, he would have bowed his head and stepped forward to serve, but today, he didn't have that mood.
"Zhang Laocai, my Chen family's shop has been lowered by five floors, why haven't you sold it yet, what are you doing to eat!"
One of the middle-aged men scolded very unceremoniously.
"That's right, and my Wang family's compound, now it's only three thousand taels, and three thousand will be sold!"
A woman yelled.
Zhang Laocai took out an account book and wrote it down, and said unhurriedly: "The Wang family's compound, the price will be reduced by five hundred taels, and the price will be three thousand taels!" ”
"And my family's blacksmith shop, which I also sold! Sell it for two hundred taels! ”
An old man in tattered clothes crowded over and shouted.
Zhang Laocai looked at him with disdain and ignored him.
The old man was anxious and said, "Zhang Laocai, you have written it down!" ”
Zhang Laocai's fat face was full of disdain, and he scolded: "Pi Busan, you want money and want to go crazy, and the blacksmith shop dares to sell it?" You and I are stupid, when the Qing army enters the city, the blacksmith shop must be requisitioned by the imperial court, which fool will sell it now? Didn't you force me to cheat people? ”
Pi Busan's original name was Pi Yingcheng, this person is stingy, although the family has money, but extremely saving, often said to people that although they are a little rich, they will never eat three meals a day, so they got a nickname of Pi Busan.
A rich man, but his wife and children at home are very frugal, even ordinary people are not as good as food and clothing, and their clothes are in tatters, even Dashun Jun looks away, thinking that his family is a poor ghost and no one robs him.
Pi Busan suddenly became angry and scolded: "Who the hell made the rumor that the Qing army wants to requisition the blacksmith shop?" Did Lao Tzu provoke him or what? Zhang Laocai, you eat things inside and outside the dog's day, Lao Tzu tells you to sell it, you can still manage the Qing army with a house? Gave you face? ”
His voice was so loud and angry that the whole room stopped talking and looked at him in a daze.
Zhang Laocai's face was pale, and after a while, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and said: "Okay, okay, I'll write it down for you, but don't think about selling, I haven't had a person here to buy a house or shop for three days, they are all selling houses and shops!" ”
The shopkeepers in the capital are spreading that the Qing army will levy the blacksmith shop when it enters the city, and I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, some people spread it, and some people believe it, and the blacksmith shop has become a hot potato, and no one dares to take over.
An old lady on the side was unhappy, and said unhappily: "Zhang Laocai, it's too much, how can you tell the owner that you can't sell the shop?" Even though the blacksmith shop is not selling well now, you can't say the same, you have to say nice things to the buyers, but you can't leak our bottom line! ”
"Yes! Granny Pang is right, she should pick the good one! ”
Everyone echoed and attacked Zhang Laocai.
Seeing that it had caused public outrage, Zhang Laocai hurriedly apologized, but he was quite unimpressed.
"Okay, everyone, I know that you are in a hurry to make a move, but the current market is too poor, there are few buyers, I can't open this tooth line, and I don't know how many days it can be opened, it's useless for you to be in a hurry, or go back and wait for the news first, once there is a buyer, I will definitely recommend it to everyone!"
Zhang Laocai is a little annoyed by these people, especially the old lady, who has nothing to do all day long, just stays in her own teeth and stares at herself, plus there are few buyers, she can't earn commissions, she hasn't made money for a long time, and her mood is naturally not much better.
"Oh, is it? If the shopkeeper doesn't want to open it, why don't you sell the tooth shop to me! ”
At the end of the crowd, I don't know when, a tall young man came around, Zhang Laocai thought at first that he also wanted to sell the house, he should have listened to the crowd for a while, he didn't speak, and Zhang Laocai ignored him.
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone saw that this person was unusually tall, and there was an old man in gorgeous clothes beside him, who was looking at Zhang Laocai with a smile on his face.
