Chapter 95 Commercial Real Estate
"Qi Lin said in detail." When His Majesty Li Er heard this good thing, he quickly signaled Xu Qilin to speak quickly.
"I obey the order." Xu Qilin thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and spoke.
The Tang Dynasty was a very prosperous dynasty, but it was not too obvious in the early Tang Dynasty. At least it had to wait until the Tang army destroyed Gaochang, opened the door to the Western Regions, and consolidated the Silk Road trade, and gradually reached its peak.
Even so, there have been only a few storehouses like Didian that provide goods, transactions and residences for customers.
In addition, the East and West Market in Chang'an has also begun to have the disadvantage of small shops and few merchants. In order to better do business, many businessmen in the East and West Market place goods in front of the shop, which is a "side-shop".
However, the emergence of side shops had a great impact on the appearance of the city. The court did not allow merchants to build sheds at will and destroy the original buildings.
After opening up the Western Regions and connecting Central Asian countries, Hu merchants will pour into Chang'an in large numbers, which contains great business opportunities and is a way to make a fortune.
Even now, for the increasingly crowded and narrow East-West Market, coupled with the huge crowds and the number of merchants coming and going, Jiandi Store is a business that is stable and profitable.
The government funding to build a place and attract merchants to conduct business activities is not a new trick. Think about the market in later generations, buying a place number to set up a stall requires auctions and competitions!
His Majesty Li Er understood, King Li Tai of Wei understood, and Ma Zhou understood. However, it is impossible to make a precedent for the construction of the Du branch to contribute to the construction.
Furthermore, is this considered competing for profit for the people and whether the government is involved in business? This is also a difficult thing to define.
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and pondered, and hesitated, "It sounds like some reason, but it is probably not easy to implement this matter in the court."
Li Taiheshou agreed and said, "What the father said is very true. It is difficult to ask the court to contribute capital and involve merchants."
Ma Dami looked at Xu Qilin and guessed whether this kid had other intentions to draw a big pie.
Xu Qilin smiled, showed two sincere front teeth, and said, "The court can not invest, but only set aside some land, and the ministers can still accomplish this."
His Majesty Li Er looked at Xu Qilin, smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Qi Lin was already a rich man and could actually take out a huge amount of money."
"I don't have much money, either." Xu Qilin hurriedly clarified and said, "It's only five or six thousand guan at most."
Hum? His Majesty Li Er was very suspicious and asked, "It's only five or six thousand guan. How many residences do you want to build? Not one or two, right?"
Xu Qilin said: "Weichen has a wonderful method. As long as you invest about a few thousand chunks of money, you can build more than 100 residences or shops. This is not clear. If your Majesty is right and you have divided two pieces of land for us, we will try this method. It can be considered as the first to explore a way to generate income for the court."
His Majesty Li Er thought about it and looked at Xu Qilin carefully again, hesitating whether he should give him this convenience and see what this new way to generate income is?
"You little brat, you are not all kind-hearted, and you will definitely make a fortune with this." His Majesty Li Er snorted and said, "I will explain it clearly once, what are the conditions you have?"
"Hehe, this-" Xu Qilin laughed awkwardly and said, "For the rich His Majesty, the request of Weichen, is a little bit leaking out of his fingers. For example, return the money paid by Weichen, and then build another ten rewards."
It seems clear that Xu Qilin will get one for ten or ten residences to build. It’s just that Xu Qilin can get one for free after building ten residences.
His Majesty Li Er was happy and was proud of his ability to understand this slippery trick.
Xu Qilin struck while the iron was hot and continued to bewitch, "The court only set aside two pieces of land, without paying a penny, but it can get more than a hundred shops for nothing. Even if you only collect rent, you will make at least nearly 100,000 yuan in profits every day. With this nearly 10,000 yuan, how convenient is Your Majesty be kind to the people or reward meritorious officials?"
Seeing that his father was already moved, King Li Tai said with a smile: "I wonder where Qi Lin wants and how much land is?"
Xu Qilin hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I think it is a place along the road three or four miles outside the Jinguang Gate and Chunli Gate, and it is only about twenty acres of land."
"Stupid brat, it's really a premeditation!" His Majesty Li Er teased: "Last time I suggested to build a large-scale project while the refugees came, and I'm also preparing for this, right?"
Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "That's not true. Even if no refugees come, I am planning to do this, generate income for the court and share your worries."
"It sounds nice." His Majesty Li Er curled his lips and said, "But, since you have spent your time and I want to see your wonderful method of making money, I will agree for the time being. After the branch officials have surveyed the two pieces of land you mentioned, if it is appropriate, you will be asked to preside over the construction."
"Your Majesty is wise." Xu Qilin bowed and bowed, "Even if I go through fire and water, I must do a good job to satisfy Your Majesty."
It's done, it's done! Xu Qilin was so happy. After spending so much saliva, how many brain cells died around the bush, he finally achieved his goal.
Think about it, if you build two hundred shops, you can get twenty of them at home. If you rent them out, you will be able to make a profit of thousands of dollars a day. The dream of counting money while lying down will be realized soon! Hahaha, it’s so cool!
……………………
Xu Qilin returned home happily and felt that his mouth was sore along the way. But he was just happy, just so happy.
Although we have to take out eight thousand 10,000 guan of start-up funds first, this is a advance payment and will be returned soon. After some operation, Xu Qilin made a fortune and won dozens of shops in vain.
After dinner, Xu Qilin took out his excitement and took out his paper and pen to plan the commercial area outside the city.
This commercial area is separated by a major road and is divided into two major areas. According to Xu Qilin's idea, it is all about the front and back houses of two-story buildings.
There is also a clear space in front of the store for pedestrians to walk around. Set up a shed next to the main road drainage ditches as a place to park, well, a place to park horses and carriages.
Well, the style is good-looking, but not very practical. After all, the business is big and small, and even the store houses in later generations are big and small!
Xu Qilin thought about it and made changes. The shop was a little smaller, and the residence had to have the functions of business, storage and accommodation, so it was bigger; there might be brothels to do business...
In order to facilitate cargo transportation and exit, Xu Qilin also left a carriage aisle next to the shop, which could be pulled directly to the back and entered the warehouse and into the house.
Just as the painting was so exciting, Xu Qilin smelled a faint fragrance approaching his side. No need to see, this fragrance was familiar to him and he specially designated Scarlett to use.
