Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 207 The Crazy Property Market

As the date for the sale of the first phase of residential houses in Shuangquan Town draws closer, Jia Qiong has released several more good news.

First, Taibailou, Wenhuazhai, Tongrentang, Jinxiuzhuang, Duobaoge and many other well-known shops in Beijing released news at the same time, saying that they would open branches in Shuangquan Town.

Subsequently, the Ministry of War issued an announcement that it plans to set up an outer city military and horse department in Shuangquan Town, and there will be dedicated patrol soldiers responsible for maintaining public security in the town.

Immediately afterwards, two of the top ten academies in the capital, Wenchang Academy and Xingyue Academy, announced at the same time that they would settle in Shuangquan Town.

Suddenly, the attention of all Chang'an City was attracted to Shuangquan Town.

The novelty of unified sales of houses in the sales office is already eye-catching enough.
The wave of publicity campaigns planned by Jia Qiong completely ignited the enthusiasm of wealthy businessmen.

Many people feel that the houses in Shuangquan Town are sold too cheaply, and they are ready to buy one.

On the first day of September, it was just dawn.

In front of the Masonic Shop, people planning to buy houses were crowded early in the morning, and the [-]-meter-wide Zhuque Street was surrounded by water.

Jia Qiong stood in front of the office window, looking at the surging crowd outside.

He knew very well that Da Chu did not lack wealth, but that this wealth was not in the hands of the court and ordinary people.

Since the Supreme Emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, Chu has experienced more than fifty years of peace.

Although natural disasters have continued in recent years and national power has declined, the private sector still accumulates a large amount of wealth.

And this wealth is basically concentrated in the hands of the powerful, big landowners and businessmen.

In fact, the real goal of Jia Qiong's old city renovation project is the wealth in the hands of these people.

The position he gave to Shuangquan Town was, to put it bluntly, a resettlement house, a place to house people from three slums.

The reason for such a momentum is not only to replace the land in the three cities, but also to heat up the market.

Judging from the current situation, the purpose of heating up the market has been achieved.

At midnight, hundreds of government officials from Chang'an County and Jingzhao Prefecture rushed to the entrance of the Masonic Hall to maintain order and clear the congested roads.

At a quarter of an hour, the door of the company's sales office opened, and the government officials began to let people in.

Because there were too many people, Jia Qiong ordered that only 200 people be allowed in at a time.

Dai Xingzhong is a small businessman in Chang'an City. He runs a small cloth shop and manages his family with diligence and thrift, which can be regarded as a small fortune.

Because he often went to the Weishui pier to transport goods in person, he paid attention to the construction of Shuangquan Town very early.

He felt very excited when he saw the newly built two-story buildings, which were much better than his old residence in the city.

Especially when he knew that the price was only 100 taels of silver per set, he had the intention to buy a set here.

And the waves of good news that followed made him completely uneasy.

He made up his mind to buy a house here, or even a shop.

He knew that many people had the same idea as him, so he ran to the door of the Masonic Hall in the middle of the night to wait. As a result, some people came earlier than him.

Fortunately, he happened to be ranked No. 2 and was among the first to enter the sales office.

As soon as he entered, he was first attracted by the huge sand table in the center.

This is a sand table for the overall project of Shuangquan Town made by Jia Qiongrang craftsmen. The entire layout of the town has been shown on it.

Neat standard houses, larger houses, shops facing the main street, two academies, roads and even greenery were all displayed one by one. Dai Xingzhong, who had seen such things for the first time, was completely stunned.

At this time, Jia Yun, who was appointed by Jia Qiong as the manager of the sales office, came up to the crowd with a smile on her face and said: "Welcome all distinguished guests to the Masonic Sales Office.

I am the shopkeeper Jia Yun. Now let me introduce to you the overall situation of Shuangquan Town.The overall planning of Shuangquan Town has [-] standard residential houses. Each house has the same layout, covering an area of ​​three thirds, with six rooms, a south courtyard and a terrace.

There is a model room in the backyard of the sales office. If you need to, you can take a look.

In addition to standard residential buildings, there are also planned 330 boutique residences covering an area of ​​one acre, [-] luxury residences covering an area of ​​[-] acres, and [-] street-facing shops.

There is no price for these yet, so what everyone can buy now is only the first phase of [-] sets of spring-style standard residential houses.

Each unit is priced at 100 taels, regardless of location. Those who reserve a room first have the right to choose the location first.

Each residential building has a number written on it, so everyone can choose the location they like.

Because so many people came, everyone only had one stick of incense time to think about it. Those who wanted to see the model house could go to the backyard.

If you want to buy a house, you can go to any of our on-site clerks, and after paying the money, you can get the property deed on the spot.

When Dai Xingzhong heard that there were [-] standard residential buildings, he hesitated.

After all, things are rare and expensive, so if there are so many houses at once, they may not be very popular.

But as soon as Jia Yun finished speaking, several people immediately started shouting.

"I want this row, from Chun No. 1000 to Chun No. [-]. These are [-] taels of silver notes."

"I want these five, spring character fifteen to spring character twenty."

"I want these three, Spring 66, 88 and [-]."

……

Dai Xingzhong watched one house after another being bought on the sand table, and then the clerk turned over the numbered plate to reveal the words "Sold" on the back. He became completely uneasy.

He quickly went to a waiter and shouted: "I want spring characters 68, 99 and [-].

I only brought 100 taels of silver with me. I made a deposit first and went home to withdraw the cash immediately. "

The waiter next to him smiled and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry.

We don't accept credit here. You can buy one set first and then buy the others when you get the money back. "

Dai Xingzhong was unhappy after hearing this and shouted: "Who can bring so much money with them when they go out?

And not everyone can use banknotes. Does your store provide storage fees? "

Jia Yun, who was not far away, heard the noise and came over and said: "Sir, please be patient. The issue you mentioned is indeed something we haven't considered carefully enough. I will report it to the superiors.

However, this is the current regulation for businesses, so I’m really sorry, but we still can’t do credit. "

Jia Yun is the shopkeeper of the Freemasonry, and her status is not comparable to that of a young boy.

Besides, he apologized so sincerely that it would be hard for Dai Xingzhong to continue his attack.

He could only say depressedly: "Then I will buy No. 99."

Jia Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I will handle it for you personally. Please come with me."

The first batch of house buyers who came in had great willingness to buy a house, but when Jia Qiong arranged to buy eight or ten houses, who dared to hesitate.

Not many people even looked at the model rooms, so they quickly paid to book a room and choose a good location number.

If it weren't for the limited cash everyone had with them, it is estimated that these 200 people could have snatched up all [-] houses.
