Chapter 68: Profiteering
"Jiayi, I didn't expect the real estate you said was really so profitable. The renovation of the West District, not only did not lose money, but also made a small profit, if you had known your method, our family's dream of building a city would have been realized several generations in advance. ”
In Jiayi's new home, Flower said.
Today is the housewarming of the Jia family, so Flower and the others came to congratulate them, and at the same time reported to Jia Yi about the sales situation in the West District.
Although the West End has always been presided over by Flower, he still lacks a little confidence, and often comes to ask for advice from Jiayi, but now that he is on the right track, Flower is much more confident.
"Although the new homes in the West District have not been completely sold, the funds returned have made up for the construction costs and surpluses, and the rest is sold for pure profit. It is estimated that the profit this time will exceed 10,000 gold coins, and the profit margin will exceed 100%. ”
Flower said a little excited, more than 10,000 gold is not a small amount, it can transform half of the sewers in the city, if it is only the old city, then it is not impossible to transform all the rest. And with a profit margin of more than 100 percent, it can definitely be regarded as a windfall profit.
Now, Flower still feels a little dreamy, originally he just wanted to subsidize the sewer renovation money a little, and then because of the heavy snow, in order to resettle the victims, at the same time from the West District is the simplest, but I didn't expect that this time not only the West District was completely renovated, but also made a lot of money, he originally just hoped to be able to lose a little less.
Jia Yi shook his head secretly in his heart, how much he made was excited to be like this, if this little achievement on the earth is simply insignificant, which one of the real estate people is not full of brains, as long as nothing happens, the richest man is not a dream.
At this time, the environment is not right, if there are conditions, organize people to go to the imperial capital to engage in real estate, then it can be regarded as huge profits.
Flower took a sip of the wine in the glass and asked Kaichi, "Someone suggested to my father that we have now earned money back in the West End, do you want to sell the rest of the house at a reduced price?"
Jia Yi didn't drink wine, but drank tea, put down the teacup when he heard the words, and asked, "What do you think?"
Flower groaned slightly, "I don't think it's appropriate. ”
He should have thought about it for a long time, so he said very simply: "If the price is reduced, then the people who bought it before should feel dissatisfied, those people have done us a great favor, if the price is reduced, I am afraid that the future will not follow our footsteps." Moreover, the price reduction is not conducive to the sales after the urban transformation in the future, the price will be suppressed, and the price will not be sold. ”
It is impossible to have this opportunity to reclaim the entire old city for transformation, and it is necessary to see the opportunity to renovate the old city, but the city is expanding, especially now because the bell tower is erected, the safety of the city is basically guaranteed, and the demand for building city walls is slowing down, and it is foreseeable that the city will continue to expand. If the price is reduced now, the new urban area will inevitably suffer in the process of expansion, and the price will not go up.
Jia nodded: "Your idea is very right, if you want to make money all the time, the most important thing is that the price can only go up and not down, except for those who don't buy, everyone who buys hopes that the price can be higher." If you can, you'd better be able to increase the price of the remaining house and create an atmosphere of scarcity, so that people who are interested are more likely to buy. ”
Although the people who buy the West End now are rich people, they also have some psychology of chasing up and down, and they will never like the things they buy to depreciate sharply after two days.
Jiayi also gave almost everything he knew about real estate to Flor, and now it seems that Flor is doing very well.
He took out a boxy metal box and handed it to Flor, saying, "This is a communicator designed for Rowell, you can hand it over when the time comes." ”
This communicator looks completely different from the last time Flower used.,Last time it was a metal disc.,In addition to being able to communicate.,There are no other additional functions.,You need to use your own mental power to touch it.,Flower because the mental power is not as flexible as Jiayi.,It's still Jiayi's special array disk to use the communicator.。
Now this one looks like a flat little box, it looks like it is no more than the size of an A4 piece of paper, a little more than two fingers wide, Flower saw that this can be opened, and when he opened it, there were many buttons in it, and there were many buttons in the lower piece, and the top was a smooth metal plate.
If he'd been in the modern era, he'd have seen it look familiar, and it looks like a netbook that had been eliminated before Kaichi crossed over.
Jia Yi introduced to the other party: "This is specially designed for ordinary people, the following is the keyboard, you can trigger the corresponding message through the keyboard, send the information out, if you receive the message, you don't need ears to listen, the message is directly displayed on the metal plate above, easy to copy." ”
However, there is no memory for this thing, if all the messages are not transcribed in time, the later ones will be brushed off the front ones, and they cannot be recovered, and there is no translator for this thing, to be precise, only the sent messages will directly translate the letters on the keyboard into the corresponding messages, and the received messages cannot be automatically translated into letters.
Therefore, the message displayed on the metal plate needs to be manually transcribed and then manually translated into the corresponding text.
Although it seems to Jia Yi that there is still a lot of perfect space, it is already very convenient in the eyes of Flower, and it is convenient that he has never imagined.
Kaichi took out a few more metal plates, and handed them to Flower in five sets.
Flower got his hand, counted it carefully, and said strangely: "This number is not right, isn't this thing only a single point of communication? There are only 5 here, isn't there one more?"
Or maybe it's missing, it's not a pair.
Jia Yi said: "The single-point communication is copper crystal, as long as a few more copper crystals are embedded in it, these communicators are each embedded with four copper crystals, which are paired with each other, so they can communicate with each other, but they can't communicate with the same two, you have to remember this." ”
Copper crystal communication is this more troublesome, can not be multi-party access, can only be a single point, although the security is better, but it is more troublesome to use, even if you can access multiple copper crystals to multi-party communication, there is no way to continue to expand, so if there are hundreds of people in the address book, then you have to build a house as big a communicator to ensure the exchange of information.
And these days Jiayi also found a defect in a copper crystal, the copper crystal that was divided has induction with each other, so what is the difference between this half of the copper crystal and the original copper crystal of such a large piece? What if this half of the copper crystal is being divided? Or what if it is divided into four or three pieces at a time?
These things can't be figured out, there is no way to guarantee the stability of this communicator, adhering to the spirit of "scientific" exploration, Jia Yi bought back a lot of copper crystals to cut and play, and finally figured out the nature of the copper crystals after segmentation.
If the copper crystal is divided into more than two pieces, then the copper crystal can still produce induction, but this induction will interfere with each other, and no specific information can be transmitted, and if you want to divide the copper crystal into multiple pieces, such as N blocks, then each time the cut can not exceed 1/N size, such as four pieces, each time can only be divided into a quarter of the size, can not be divided into two pieces first, in the division of four pieces.
After the cut copper crystal is cut again, only the induction between the two pieces cut later, and the original induction between the two pieces disappears. It's like when half of a piece is cut again, the half is considered a complete piece.
Moreover, the divided copper crystals slowly become longer with time, and the mutual induction will slowly weaken, just like the original half of the copper crystal will slowly become a whole copper crystal with the "wound" and "healing", and the mutual induction will also be weakened.
This weakening can be eliminated through the rune array, but it can't be erased, and now the communicator made by Jiayi, the copper crystal in it is conservatively estimated to last for three years, and after three years, the mutual induction will be weakened to the point that it cannot be monitored.
These have greatly limited the application of copper crystal, and Jiayi felt that if he wanted large-scale application or even civilian use, he still had to use telegraph.
