0398 Pie
There are still men in front of the shops on the street greeting customers, and the pedestrians on the street are also endless! There's even a patrol of soldiers walking by with firearms on their backs!
Closer you look, you'll find tall warehouses! The area around the warehouse was full of people, and it seemed that they were dressed like Lifu and a coachman. Some were haggling with the merchants, while others were sitting in the shade of the trees to rest.
Between the warehouse area and the retail area, there is a two-storey building, which is much taller and wider than ordinary buildings, but I don't know what it will be used for. On both sides of the picture scroll are Qinglou Chu Pavilion, restaurants and inns spread out layer by layer! Looking at the area alone, it is almost as big as half of the county seat of Tianjin!
The three of them watched carefully around the renderings, and let out a sigh of admiration from time to time! And Liu Haojia sat proudly on the side and slowly sipped tea.
After the three of them sat down, Cheng Guogong said, "What's the matter, boy, are you planning to open the sea? We don't have the ability to convince the imperial court to open the sea, I'm afraid all your efforts have been in vain!"
After saying that, the faces of the three people were a little gloomy. They thought that Liu Haojia was using the matter of opening the sea to fool them, so this made them feel very disappointed, and even a little angry!
But at this time, they didn't want to think that it was true that Liu Haojia had their support, but he also took out real money, which was exchanged for glass, blood sugar, and other things! After all, it's human greed!
Liu Haojia naturally understood what they thought when he saw their faces, but he still quietly patted the renderings and said, "The three of you don't have to think so much, whether you can open the sea is something to be done! What you have to think about is, if the sea is opened, you have a shop in the docks, is it a profitable business?"
The three grandfathers looked at each other and felt a little puzzled, how could Liu Haojia have such a big confidence in opening the sea? Then Wei Guogong said slowly, "If you say so, it will definitely be a profitable deal! But can you tell us about it?"
Liu Haojia immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said in a loud voice, "Don't say, don't say! It's boring to say it! A few of you just need to know that you have this certainty!"
The British Duke said suspiciously, "Could it be that the Lord of Long Live promised you something? But Long Live Lord can't interfere in this regard!"
Liu Haojia still shook his head again and again and said, "Don't say it, don't say it!"
The three grandfathers took turns to test a few times, and when they saw that he was still talking about this set of rhetoric, the angry Wei Guogong slapped the table and said, "Why is she so cunning at such a young age? If you want to say it, you can say it, why bother selling it here!"
Liu Haojia said with a smile: "The joints in this must not be said, and if you say it, it will not work!"
The British duke snorted angrily and said, "I don't believe that you can fight those civil officials! That's a group of people that Zhang Taiyue didn't dare to touch!"
Liu Haojia said indifferently, "Grandpa Guo, this is the matter below! So let's talk about the house!"
After speaking, he took out a stack of sub-drawings of the car, from which you can see the equipment and size of each house. And it is also marked with the name of the street and the house number, which makes the three princes look fresh.
Liu Haojia spread out a sub-picture and said, "Three, this is the place prepared for all the nobles! Each noble family can rent a shop for a tael of silver a year."
Wei Guogong looked at the sub-picture in detail, and then compared it with the renderings, and found that it was indeed a better position, so he said casually: "Stingy! What kind of rent do you charge for a tael of silver every year? Be generous, just send a shop to each family, or simply sell it to each family!"
Liu Haojia said: "Grandpa Guo, this location is the best location, it's all in the fiefdom below, how can this be sold to you? Then I don't want my fiefdom anymore!"
Wei Guogong said disdainfully, "Come on, we all know your little bit of caution!"
At this time, the British Duke also reacted, and after the two of them glanced at each other, the British Duke raised his foot and kicked Liu Haojia's calf, and said, "No wonder the eldest brother said that you are cunning!"
The British kicked people because they finally reacted, Liu Hao
Jia asked for a tael of silver for rent, the purpose of which was to tie the nobles to their chariots and force them to support him. Because if the sea is successful, these shops will immediately become a good industry for daily income!
But these properties are all in Liu Haojia's fiefdom, if someone offends Liu Haojia, he can directly break the lease and drive people out! So when someone offends Liu Haojia, you have to weigh it, is it appropriate to lose a family industry that is making money every day?
Although Liu Haojia was kicked, he still said without changing his face: "But the three grandfathers of the country have other preferential treatment! The shops of the three of you will be sent directly under the master, and the title deed will be sent back."
After hearing this, Wei Guogong and the three of them didn't care, because they had not been directly involved in the business, and they didn't know how big the favor was, so they just nodded and accepted.
But how could Liu Haojia give favors in vain, so he simply said directly: "In addition to our noble shop, other shops are also only rented and not sold, the lowest rent is 6,000 taels a year, and the highest rent is 10,000 taels a year!"
As soon as these words came out, they successfully attracted the attention of three people! Wei Guogong said loudly: "10,000 taels of rent a year, you kid is poor and crazy, right? 10,000 taels can almost buy a good shop in the capital! How dare you ask for so much money in a place that's not much bigger than my kennel?"
Liu Haojia said: "Grandpa Guo, you just don't know the market! Otherwise, ask the foreign affairs butler of the Guogong Mansion to come here, and I believe he should have this eyesight!"
Wei Guogong angrily ordered the maid to call the foreign affairs housekeeper. The butler soon arrived, and this man was in his forties, with two mouse's whiskers, and a pair of eyes that were very flexible, and he looked very shrewd and capable!
After he greeted the people present, Wei Guogong said, "This is Wu Ningbo, you should recognize it. If he asks you something, just tell the truth."
The housekeeper hurriedly gave Liu Haojia a salute again, and said, "The villain has seen Wu Ningbo! The villain must know everything, Wu Ningbo, just ask!"
Liu Haojia briefly explained the drawings, and then pointed out the location of the shop left for the nobles to him. Then he said directly: "These shops are rented to you at a rent of 10,000 taels a year, do you want to do it?"
