Chapter 1515: Rush to Sell and Buy
Now, everyone involved in this project is proud of the unprecedented progress. Even Huang Shilu's group of officials who used to be cunning and treacherous now count the amount of work on their fingers every day, wishing they could use a quarter of an hour as if it were two quarters of an hour.
In the words of his son You Xuhe, working on this big project is too busy to have time for intrigue. Island Master He—no, now it should be Supervisor He—can whip everyone involved into a spinning top that can’t stop for a moment.
But invisibly, everyone from the king to the ministers and even the sons of the nobles were tied to the same chariot.
The chariot driven by He Xiao.
The car was going too fast and they couldn't jump out.
You Rongzhi sometimes worried about where this chariot would eventually go.
But reason and reality told him not to be suspicious, after all, He Xiao was just an outsider to the country. He had no official position, no military power, only a few dozen subordinates in Tianshui City, and was hated by the Qingyang Regent. He had to rely on the protection of the monarch to save his life.
Perhaps, it was for the purpose of making money and saving his life that he worked so hard and seriously on the capital expansion project?
After all, although King Yao didn't let He Xiao touch the project funds, he had asked others to work so hard and handle such a big project, so he should show some appreciation, right?
Therefore, trade between Yao State and Yangshan Islands was further relaxed. Almost all products in exclusive categories were open to Yangshan, and there were very strong tax and fee reductions. Some were even given to Yangshan to act as full external agents.
You Rongzhi didn't know how many orders Yang Shan had received from various officials and businessmen. He only knew that his caravans were busy going in and out of various places in Yao State.
There haven’t been two foreign businessmen who are doing so well since the founding of Yao State, right?
He Xiao's diligence and talent are real and well-known, but the speculation about He Xiao is groundless and unfounded.
You Rongzhi shook his head and put all these little thoughts behind him.
His head hurt. He was too tired to think much, he just wanted to find a place to take a nap, because he had a meeting later.
……
In a blink of an eye, the demonstration block was basically completed.
Over the past few days, it was built quickly in front of thousands of people, with progress made almost every day. It has become a tourist check-in point for Tianshui residents and tourists from other places.
Only the outline of the house has taken shape. The streets in front of the house, the walls and yards behind the house, and the plants in the blocks have not been well developed, and there is bare yellow soil everywhere.
But no one dared to ask for more. Although there were more than 5,000 craftsmen and laborers working day and night, the speed of construction was already jaw-dropping.
After all, building a house requires more technical skills than building a road.
Wang Zirui was curious and asked why. He Lingchuan told him that a lot of the stones and some of the wood were taken from nearby and were ready-made.
These materials are certainly not enough to cover the entire new city, but they can barely handle one block.
After all, what they were building were bungalows and shops, the process was not complicated and the materials were not demanding, and Yaodu actually had plenty of work teams.
In order to speed up the progress, He Lingchuan even suspended the construction of Youhu Villa, and all the materials were used to supply the construction of the new city.
No one has any objection to this.
Everyone knows that He Lingchuan is thinking about the overall situation; the owners of Youhu Villa are now almost all invested in the construction of the new city and are not in a hurry.
Youhu Villa has its special purpose, which is now being fulfilled. Why would these owners be in a hurry to move in?
Then, this newly built model block was put on sale.
The new city was full of yellow mud, piles of building materials and bustling voices, but the block went on sale the day after the roof was sealed.
It is very close to the government office in Xincheng and has a good geographical location.
Under He Lingchuan's "suggestion", only 30% of the residential land and shops were sold to officials; the rest were sold publicly through announcements in various places in Yaodu.
Because Tianshui City had not been expanded for a long time, there was no official professional house selling agency here, and all were managed by the government office. In order to develop the new city, Yaoting specially established a "Housing Department" to specialize in the sale, transfer, and taxation of new city residential land, whether it is first-hand or second-hand.
Less than an hour after the news was announced, the housing department became bustling and the officials' quota was filled.
Two hours later, the overall sales rate of the model residential plots in the block exceeded 50%.
He Lingchuan knew that civilians would not react so quickly. Although the publicity campaign in Tianshui East City had lasted for more than half a month, they would most likely wait and see.
Therefore, the ones who get to drink the soup first must be dignitaries!
In particular, the officials involved in the eastward expansion project are fully aware of Yao Ting’s determination to build a new city and are extremely confident about its future prospects.
Buy it, not only will you not lose money, you can also make a lot of money!
People are willing to pay for expectations, so officials buy up their own shares and then mobilize other forces to buy up the remaining residential land.
Buying, holding and managing on behalf of others are all child's play.
This is how they usually operate their business and make profits.
He Lingchuan had estimated this earlier, so nearly half of the shares of this model block were left for others, and he could sell more -
One and a half days.
These “others” were still not ordinary people, but the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Tianshui City.
They maintain close contact with the powerful and wealthy, and they know what they are busy with at the second they get to know it.
If all the rich and powerful are rushing to buy it, it must be a good thing.
Don’t think too much, just follow!
Just when ordinary people were still half-believing and hesitant, two extremely eye-catching black characters were hung on the notice board at the entrance of the Housing Department:
sold out!
They were sold out in less than two days?
Many people cursed, "It's impossible, absolutely impossible, the officials are lying! There is yellow mud everywhere, I went to see it, how come it was sold out?"
Who would rush to buy it now? That’s stupid. Why not wait until it’s built?
The authorities did not give any explanation, but remained silent for seven days, allowing the news to continue to ferment.
During these seven days, the number of people visiting the new city has more than increased fivefold!
The newly repaired road was already busy with traffic. It was obvious that although the road project led by You Rongzhi and He Xiao was rushed, it was wide, straight and flat, and it was very stable for carriages to drive on it.
It's nothing like the main road in the old city, where you'll bump your buttocks every three steps and even have to jump for no reason!
These two routes alone make passengers very satisfied.
Needless to say, the new city is the most hotly discussed topic among the people in Tianshui City.
At this time, the poor relatives and servants of the powerful and wealthy families spread the news that their masters/owners had rushed to buy up the demonstration model blocks to the market. People began to hear news such as "Boss Du from Deshui Chamber of Commerce bought ten pieces of land in the new city at one go" and "Dozens of stores along Liuding Street in the new city have been bought out by XX family."
You can believe it, the land in the new city is not cheap, not everyone can buy it. The official said that the new city can only accommodate 200,000 people, and those who exceed this number will be sent back to where they came from!
If you say you don't believe it, the nobles are willing to spend six or seven hundred thousand taels to buy houses in Youhu Lake. Are they stupid? Are they just throwing money away for fun?
Doesn’t that mean you are still interested in and confident about the potential of the new city?
As the topic becomes more and more popular, people's curiosity and expectations about the new city are also increasing day by day.
After seven days of battle between bulls and bears, the voices that were originally bearish and believed it was unreliable were gradually suppressed.
The residential plots in the first block were sold out in less than two days. When King Yao heard the news, he let out a long sigh, and his heart, which had been hanging in the balance for more than ten days, was finally half relieved.
Qiu Long smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is better than expected!"
Even though the account books handed over by the Department of Housing were placed in front of King Yao, he still had to ask, "Have they all been put into storage?"
"It's in, not a penny less!" Qiu Long reported, "It was paid in full on the same day, and no one owed it."
That's a hot commodity. Who dares to delay payment? If you delay payment, you won't get it.
King Yao smiled, but he still said, "A small block is nothing. The buyers are all officials in the court. They are very rich! The real outcome will depend on the sales in the next few issues."
Qiu Long explained: "This time, 30% of the sales were limited to officials, and the remaining 70% were bought by people from Tianshui City."
King Yao glanced at him with a smile and said, "Stop pretending here. I know the kind of officials under my command."
Qiu Long could only say: "Your Majesty is very observant."
Yao Wang asked again: "Where is the focus of the expansion? You Rongzhi came to report a few days ago, and it seemed that he said that he was going to build something on Sandiepo?"
The contents of the East City expansion are extremely diverse, and it would take several thick volumes to compile them. You Rongzhi always gave a brief report every time, but King Yao still couldn't remember them all.
Are you kidding? He is the king of a country and is busy with all kinds of affairs. Why does he need to bother remembering those trivial matters?
But Qiu Long beside him had to have a very good memory in case his master asked questions at any time:
"A set of Huanbiao!"
King Yao nodded: "Yes, that's right, not bad."
There is a slope between the government office and the main street in the new city. The government office is on the upper part of the slope, and the civilian street is at the lower part of the slope. The three-slope slope naturally separates the two.
We don't plan to build a house on this slope, nor can we build a temple - the status of a temple cannot be lower than that of a government office.
But the slope was empty and ugly, so You Rongzhi proposed to build a set of ornaments on the slope.
This is a decorative building, the main body of which is a huge stone pillar or stone tablet, which is finely carved and shows its magnificence and majesty.
Tianshui City also has two groups, one in front of the government office and one in front of the palace. This is different from other countries that He Lingchuan has been to. Yuan State and Chiyan State also have buildings similar to Huanbiao, but they are only in front of the palace and the mausoleum.
This is because, in Yao State, Huan Biao not only demonstrates the heyday of royal power, but also reflects the country's strong power.
Therefore, his proposal to build Huanbiao on this slope was completely in line with the national conditions and people's values of Yao State and there was no problem at all.
This kind of demonstration project, which costs a huge amount of money but has no substantive effect, can only be built by Yao Kingdom in the entire Golden Plain.
