Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 187 Dachu Developer
What Jia Qiong said aroused Emperor Longqing's strong interest, and he couldn't wait to learn the details.

Jia Qiong did not give in and said directly: "This wonderful method is the way to open up money and do real estate business.

Good houses in the capital are now very expensive and hard to find.

Chen's house is a bit small, and he has always wanted to buy a big house, but after searching for several months, he still couldn't find one he was satisfied with.

Nowadays, in the capital, an ordinary three-entry house with an area of ​​one acre, even in Nancheng, costs one thousand, two hundred taels of silver.

As for large houses covering an area of ​​more than five acres, the prices have reached more than ten thousand taels of silver, and the supply is still in short supply.

There are now three places where poor people gather in the capital, namely Da'anfang, Changlefang and Qinglongfang.

The residential buildings in these three places are in dilapidated condition, private buildings are badly built, the streets and alleys are narrow, and the environment is extremely harsh.

Therefore, the housing prices in these places are very low, which is more than ten times higher than the housing prices elsewhere.

Chen has already done preliminary research and found that the market price for purchasing a one-acre residential house in Da'anfang is only 60 taels of silver.

Changlefang is slightly more expensive, costing about 80 taels. Qinglongfang is the most expensive, but it costs no more than 100 taels at most.

Chen plans to acquire all the land in these three cities and demolish all the original small houses and rebuild them.

Re-plan, widen roads, improve the environment, and build new homes.

Once completed, the housing prices here will immediately increase dozens of times.

The profit will be calculated ten times!

Nowadays, locust plagues are breaking out in various places, and it won't be long before many victims flood into the capital.

We just use work-for-relief to allow the victims to participate in the renovation of old cities and the construction of new cities.

With this project alone, I guarantee that millions of people can live and earn tens of millions of taels of silver! "

Emperor Longqing was surprised at first when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said: "Although your plan sounds good, it is a little too taken for granted.

Although I don't know how much it costs to build a private house, but to build a palace within the palace, it will cost 10,000+ taels of silver.

If you want to tear down all those cities and rebuild them, it will take a lot of land, how much manpower and material resources will be spent, and the profit will probably not be very high. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, since I proposed this idea, there must be a way.

There are three biggest expenses in building a house: land cost, labor cost, and building materials.

The reason why I chose these three slums is to reduce land costs.

Using disaster victims to provide work-for-relief services can greatly reduce labor costs.

The most important thing is that Chen invented a building material that is very strong, fireproof, waterproof, and earthquake-resistant, and is very low-cost.

It can replace most of the stone and wood needed to build houses.

The cost will be greatly reduced, and the construction speed will be greatly increased.

I call this material fairy mud.

With these three items, I guarantee that this transaction will make a huge profit.

And after the disaster, this business can still continue, but the profits will be lower.

How many wealthy businessmen in our Da Chu have old houses. After seeing the new houses built by the ministers, I guarantee that they also want to rebuild them.

Using my fairy mud to build a house not only has many benefits, but the price is not more expensive than using wood and stone.

As long as the secret recipe of fairy mud is in our hands, no one can steal this business. "

Emperor Longqing couldn't sit still after hearing this. He stood up from the couch and started pacing back and forth in the hall.

The expression on his face is sometimes happy, sometimes distressed, sometimes he closes his eyes in deep thought, sometimes he strokes his beard and nods.

Like a diaosi who won a 500 million grand prize and fell into endless fantasy.

After a while, Emperor Longqing calmed down a little.

He walked up to Jia Qiong and asked with a smile on his face: "Jia Aiqing, are you really willing to give me such a precious secret recipe and a profitable business?"

Jia Qiongxin said, "When did I say I was going to give you away? You are the emperor and you can't steal it openly."

He bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, I am willing to offer my secret recipe and business.

However, this project requires huge investment.

I roughly estimate that just to purchase real estate, purchase building materials, and provide relief to the people in the early stages will require at least 500 million taels.

Your Majesty, can you spare so much money? "

After hearing this, Emperor Longqing coughed awkwardly and said, "I can take 30 taels and collect a small part of the land to build a house first. After the house is sold, I can use the money recovered to collect other land."

Jia Qiong shook his head when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, if only part of the house is rebuilt, then the new house will be surrounded by slums and the environment will still be dirty and messy. How can it be sold?

Even if it can be sold, it will be difficult for businessmen and people to buy land at a cheap price after they see the benefits, and profits will inevitably plummet.

In addition, the benefits here are huge, I can say it without hesitation.

Whether you let the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Household Affairs, or the Ministry of Works do it, they will definitely make money from it.

In the end, you may not be able to make any money, and you may end up losing money instead. "

Emperor Longqing thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense, so what do you think we should do?"

Jia Qiong said: "If you want this plan to succeed, you must make an overall plan.

Overall planning, gradual advancement, and interlocking require a huge investment of manpower and material resources.

I plan to set up a company specifically to complete this. I have already made up my mind on how this company will operate and what the rules will be.

The minister plans to raise 500 million taels of silver as principal, and all civil and military officials can become shareholders.

The profits earned from the firm's operations will be distributed as dividends every year based on the shareholding ratio. "

After hearing this, Emperor Longqing said unhappily: "My internal treasury can provide up to 30 yuan.

If I follow your approach, I won't be able to get even [-]% of the shares. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't need you to pay a tael of silver. I will give you a [-]% bonus. In addition, if you want to invest, you can also invest."

Emperor Longqing was very excited when he heard this, his eyes were shining, but he pretended to evade: "This... is not good. If I want to share the dividends for nothing, will it cause criticism?"

Jia Qiong said: "Your Majesty, these [-]% of the dividends will be donated to the internal treasury in the name of disaster relief funds.

And you don’t get this [-]% bonus for nothing, come and see. "

Jia Qiong said, taking out a map of Chang'an from his sleeve and laying it on the chessboard.

He pointed to a large open space between the Weihe Pier and Anhua Gate and said: "This area has about three thousand acres of land.

This is a gravel land where crops cannot be grown. Now it is just wild forest and weeds.

I want to build a town on this land to relocate the people from the slums and let them settle here.

You have to allocate this land to me. "

Emperor Longqing immediately nodded and said, "That's no problem. This piece of land is a wasteland, so I'll give it to you."

Jia Qiong nodded and said: "Your Majesty, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, I hope that the imperial court can establish a separate yamen.

Chen Lai took the lead and convened a group of capable officials to coordinate the resettlement of disaster victims, the demolition and reconstruction of old cities, and the construction of new houses in the surrounding areas of Chang'an. "

Emperor Longqing thought for a moment and said, "I can agree to this, but you have to explain it clearly. How much money can you earn?"

Jia Qiong said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if this project is completed successfully, I guarantee that you will receive at least 1000 million taels of silver.

After this big project is completed and the company develops the land, the profit may not be so high.

But I can guarantee that the dividends given to you every year will never be less than 200 million taels. "

Emperor Longqing said excitedly: "Okay, I will believe you this time.

I will support you no matter what you want to do. If it is done, I will reward you greatly.

If there is no result, I will not spare you. "

Jia Qiong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I dare not deceive you.

Since you dare to bring it up, you are confident that it can be done. "

Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction, pondered for a moment and then said: "In this way, I will hold a court meeting in three days to discuss disaster relief.

When you come up with the business plan, I will let you form a new department, let's call it the Mutual Aid Department.

It is better to hang under the Hanlin Academy. You will serve as the Secretary of the Department of Mutual Aid and the fifth-rank official position.

You can make your own arrangements for any positions you need. Those below the sixth rank can be appointed as you please. I don’t limit the number of places. "

Jia Qiong was greatly moved when he heard this. He knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I thank you for your trust in the emperor. I will die ten thousand years ago to repay your kindness. Long live my emperor!"

Emperor Longqing laughed and said: "Get up quickly, this matter is done, you will be my great hero!"
