Chapter 2759 Group Business Gathering
For An Sheng and others, this place is like a dreamy place.
Bai Chen took them to visit the entire amusement park, which also contains a zoo.
And it is not limited to the animals in the Central Plains, from tigers and pandas that people are familiar with. Of course, people of this era call the Iron Eating Beast.
Then to African elephants, to cougars, and to Australia's koalas, it can be said that they cover the world's rare talents.
Moreover, among these animals, animals that are not dangerous are free-range.
The amusement park and zoo cover three mountains. In addition to the necessary protective nets, these animals are also very human and even actively interact with several children.
An Sheng and others almost lingered, and the amusement park and the zoo were paradise for children.
Without a single child, he would not like these two places, especially the animals here would interact with them.
"That iron-eating beast is so fun. Are the beasts you are here selling for money?"
Everyone looked at Bai Chen, especially the panda, and they wanted to take the panda back.
His honest and charming appearance is really lovely.
Picking up a young panda will make people unable to let go.
Bai Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's very difficult for you to support them. Selling them to you is to harm them."
It was not until the evening that Bai Chen sent the children out of the new city.
Bai Chen then notified Wu Zetian and asked her to hire some people first.
First of all, the animals in the zoo need to be taken care of, and many places in the new city need to be maintained.
When Wu Zetian came here, she was also amazed by it.
At the same time, she also understood what Bai Chen meant to help her make money.
...
"Have you received your Majesty's invitation?"
"Well, I received it, you received it too?"
"This is naturally, after all, I am a businessman with a title."
"I don't know if there is any big deal."
If it were in the past, merchants would be reluctant to deal with the royal family.
Because every time the royal family summoned them, there was only one topic, that was to borrow money and raise funds.
However, Wu Zetian was completely different from the emperors in the past. Wu Zetian's support for them can be said to be unprecedented, and even changed the status of merchants.
So when Wu Zetian made some requests within their ability, they were happy to cooperate.
More importantly, Wu Zetian never asks them for money, and there is only one possibility to find them, that is, there is another profitable deal.
"Do you think you received the invitation this time?"
"It must be more than me, but I guess there won't be many, right?"
"No, you're wrong. This time, even some small vendors are in the ranks of invitations."
"What? All the small vendors have invited them? What kind of party is this? Do those small vendors still have to participate in this?"
"Who knows, Your Majesty must have made a big move this time."
"Why do I feel unreliable? All the vendors are involved..."
"Not reliable? Then you don't go. Anyway, I'm going. Your Majesty has never disappointed us. If I lose some money this time, as long as I can help you, I will admit it."
"You are right. Your Majesty has done a lot for us merchants and has made us profit a lot. If we don't support this little thing, we may not be able to argue with it."
The next day
A large number of businessmen gathered together, and the venue was densely packed, with at least thousands of people.
There are wealthy families and small vendors here, and the scene is noisy and talkative.
Soon, Wu Zetian's car came over, with several guards around him, but he was not like the emperors before, and he would escort him one army at a time when he went out to operate.
As a result, many businessmen were moved by this action. They felt that this was Wu Zetian's trust in them.
The merchants were about to salute, but Wu Zetian immediately waved: "Don't be too polite. Today I am not an emperor, but a businessman. Although I am not very competent, don't dislike me."
"Your Majesty is joking, but you, a businessman, are criticized by you, and you will inevitably be criticized by literati and poets."
Nowadays, literati and poets have become representatives of derogatory terms. People in other industries often have to use literati and poets to make a splash. Nowadays, Confucians have to pinch their noses when walking on the road.
"Haha... I don't care how those literati and poets criticize them. Now the sour scholars are only left with this little fun, and I can't take them away with the last little fun."
The merchants smiled in understanding, and Wu Zetian immediately chatted with a few familiar merchants.
"Your Majesty, you have brought so many guards, so you are too irresponsible to yourself."
"Boss Hu, do you say these guards are not good? If you have the ability, just be louder and let me choose one in a thousand listen to them and see that they will not break your legs."
The guards immediately cooperated and showed a fierce look to Boss Hu. Now Wu Zetian is quite skilled in this way of winning and getting close to him. As in the past, he is arrogant and can never get their support. Only by lowering his figure and integrating into them can they communicate with him with convincing hearts, support and love him.
"Uh... Brothers, don't be accustomed to me. It's my old Hu who is wrong. I will be the banker. Another day I will be the banker and apologize to my brothers."
"Your Majesty, what kind of transaction is today? Depending on your situation, I'm afraid the transaction is quite big, right?"
"Wait." Wu Zetian said with a smile.
Wu Zetian chatted casually with the merchants. Wu Zetian occasionally talked about the current situation, and the merchants occasionally mentioned the transaction, and both parties had no scepticism.
It can be said that Wu Zetian was the most unavoidable emperor, and businessmen could talk about it whatever they wanted.
Even if anyone is dissatisfied with the government and criticizes the government, Wu Zetian only argues with it.
In the past ten years, I don’t know how many people have confronted Wu Zetian in the newspaper, and no one has been convicted of it.
At this moment, a gust of dust rose up in front of them. Everyone looked around and saw iron shells, either black or white, coming towards them.
They couldn't help but startle, but the car stopped when it arrived in front of them.
None of the merchants dared to move, and looked blankly at the car in front of them.
There are at least hundreds of cars here, half of which are black and half white, all of which are business cars.
"Everyone, why are you still standing there and getting on the bus?" Wu Zetian immediately got into a business car, pushed open the door and said to the merchants who were familiar with him, "Do you mind taking the same car as me?"
"Ah... the people are honored."
There were three or five people in a car, but no one had a higher status or a lower status. They just sat together.
"Your Majesty, how could this iron shell move?"
"This is called automobiles, the latest product of the Ministry of Industry. In the near future, automobiles will gradually replace cattle and horses. I know that some of you are doing cattle and horse business and can almost get rid of the goods in your hands."
"ah……"
"Don't say I didn't tell you. In less than half a year, this car will begin to become popular. First, it will be Chang'an, Yingdu, Huiyang and other places, and then it will continue to radiate outward, and the road construction will gradually increase." Wu Zetian said.
Everyone knows that what Wu Zetian said is not groundless, and this thing has shown its superiority beyond the ox and horse carriages. First of all, this speed, and secondly, the comfort of the internal space.
Moreover, the cattle and horses are not hygienic, so it is really unbearable to pull a cart and pull it halfway.
"Your Majesty summons us this time, but it has something to do with this car?"
Wu Zetian smiled and shook her head: "This is just a warm-up, but today's theme has nothing to do with this."
Soon, the road began to flatten, and after the car walked on the asphalt road, its superiority was fully demonstrated, and the new city appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked, what was that?
Everyone in the car started to talk.
"This is the theme today. This is a new city I have built recently." Wu Zetian said: "Today I am your guide, and the guide of others is their driver."
Soon, the car drove into the new city, and Wu Zetian led several merchants out of the car.
The first place Wu Zetian brought them to was the residential area: "Everyone, let's take a look at the new way of living."
Wu Zetian took them to a sample room, and the novel decoration, furnishings and furniture made everyone's eyes shine.
"Everyone, what do you think of here?"
"Okay! Very good!" Several merchants praised the place.
One of the merchants said with a flashing look: "Your Majesty, this place should not be cheap, right?"
"This is a standard suite, with a new unit of measurement, which is 120 square meters, a total of 1,200 taels of silver. Some are larger than this and smaller. It mainly depends on demand, economic power, and the difference in floors will also have an impact on the price."
"One thousand two hundred taels... Rich people may not be willing to live here, right? And ordinary people cannot afford such an expensive house."
I have to say that this sample room gave them a unique experience, but this place is not Chang'an City after all, and most people think it is difficult to be popular here.
Wu Zetian smiled and shook her head: "Actually, this is for ordinary people."
"Your Majesty, aren't you joking? How can ordinary people afford to buy a house here?"
"As long as you can pay a down payment of 20% of the money, the bank can lend money to the people, and the people need to repay the money in installments every month."
Everyone's eyes lit up, which greatly reduced the difficulty of purchasing. Moreover, in terms of the environment here, it is much better than ordinary people, even compared to their own homes.
"And those who buy here will give away some new appliances."
"Electrical Appliances!?" Everyone's eyes showed a hint of doubt. The word "electrical Appliances" was still very unfamiliar to them.
Wu Zetian picked up a remote control and pressed the TV on the desk in front, and a picture appeared on the TV.
Everyone looked at Wu Zetian in surprise. They had seen this thing in Chang'an City, but all of them were large-scale TVs placed outdoors.
It can be said that gathering people to watch TV has become a great pleasure for many people in Chang'an, especially at night, the TV program is particularly exciting.
"This... doesn't this mean that people who live here can watch this TV at their own home in the future?"
"That's right." Wu Zetian nodded. It can be said that this TV is one of her powerful tools, greatly increasing the attractiveness of the residential area here. (~^~)
