A storm raged for three consecutive days, and all ships could only be moored in the port and could not go to sea.

Two merchant ships from Goryeo and two merchant ships from Japan were also trapped in the port, and many merchant ships from Song Dynasty and merchants from Southeast Asia were also trapped in the port.

In fact, at the moment of the storm, three Dashi merchant ships entered the port. This was the Pu family's merchant ship. Although the Pu family was a Dashi merchant, they now settled in Quanzhou and are one of the most powerful Dashi merchants in Quanzhou. Previously, some Dashi merchants came to Kaohsiung, but their strength was limited and they were not very popular with Han Tuozhou. However, the Pu family's status was different. The arrival of the Pu family was soon received by Han Tuozhou at a high standard. Although the indicators of the short-term products that the Pu family finally obtained were far from satisfying it, the Pu family was already particularly lucky compared to other Dashi merchants. Especially in the most intimate timepieces and glass mirrors, the indicators obtained by the Pu family were a little jealous.

It was really raining that guests were kept. Taking advantage of the storm that Chinese and foreign businessmen were trapped in Yuelai Inn by the storm, a round of real estate promotion without warning began.

More than a dozen big food merchants led by Puqu were politely invited to the conference room.

Every merchant received a mimeographed booklet, which was the real estate promotion plan. When everyone sat down, someone presented a hot tea and snacks. Then, Zhang Haisan began to recommend the community planned to be built by the Special Economic Zone to the Dashi merchants present.

"Today I will introduce to you all the gentlemen, the foreign residential community that our special zone will be built. This community will be planned and built in a unified manner, and will be sold to foreign investors. I can tell you responsibly that there is tap water here, the roads are cement roads, flowers and green grass are planted everywhere in the open space, the entire community is like a garden, and the community also has Islamic temples. As for the construction standards, most units are built according to the standards of Yuelai Inn, and the most luxurious sets are completely built according to the standards of the Duke Headquarters. Of course, in terms of construction style, you will also respect the style you like."

Zhang Hai was flying in his mouth, talking about one set after another, and there were many new concepts here. However, in the Song Dynasty, people had a strong ability to accept new things, and these big food merchants had strong adaptability. They watched and listened, and some people were already a little moved when they heard "built by the standard Yuelai Inn".

After seeing that someone began to discuss the discussion below, Zhang Haisan further induced:

"Everyone, I think you will often come to the SAR for business in the future. Every time you stay in Yuelai Inn, it will cost a lot of money. I am afraid it will be inconvenient. If you buy this house, it will save money and be convenient. Moreover, there is also a huge advantage, that after buying this house, his children will be able to study at the SAR academy. Do you know that the SAR academy will be completed and taught. The famous Mr. Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Xiangshan are in the SAR at this moment. At that time, he will personally go to the SAR academy to give lectures. There is also Chief Mao, and even the Duke of the State will come to give lectures. Please think about it. Even in Quanzhou, there is no chance for the children to listen to the lectures of my famous master of the Song Dynasty!"

It is impossible not to say that the arrival of Lu Jiuyuan has greatly improved Mao Geng's situation. Before this, Mao Geng was afraid of making mistakes. With Duke Zhao Han and the powerful Han Tuozhou staring here, Mao Geng had to be extra careful. Now when Lu Jiuyuan comes, the situation is very different. In addition, Lu Jiuyuan is not the kind of person who follows the rules, Mao Geng feels it is time to act according to his plan.

To develop the special zone, the first thing is to quickly expand the city scale and quickly increase the population base. The first step is of course to attract investment immigrants. Canada in later generations has done a very successful job in this regard. After the rich come, all kinds of people will follow one after another.

Arab merchants of this era are very good at doing business and financial management. They are much more powerful than merchants in countries such as Chameng, Annan, and Sanfoqi, and are identified by Mao Geng as an ideal customer for investment immigration.

The Dashi merchants were world-class merchants of this era, controlling the trade of the Maritime Silk Road. After the land Silk Road in the north was blocked, the maritime Silk Road of the Song Dynasty-Arab-Europe was replaced. In addition to engaging in bilateral trade between the Dashi and the Song Dynasty, the Dashi merchants were also a trade hub between the Dashi and the Song Dynasty and Europe, so the Dashi merchants made a lot of profits.

After Dashi merchants made money, many people would choose to live in the bustling Quanzhou. In today's world, Dashi merchants are undoubtedly the richest and most prosperous country, with a livable environment of more than any region, so there are tens of thousands of Dashi merchants living in Quanzhou.

The Song Dynasty adhered to the policy of opening up to the outside world. The treatment that Dashi merchants enjoyed in Quanzhou was not discriminated against at least, such as allowing them to intermarry with the locals in the Song Dynasty, and even allowing them to build Islamic temples in Quanzhou, and they could go directly to the Chinese schools in Quanzhou. Of course, the most open thing is that the Song Dynasty also opened up the children of all extra merchants to take the imperial examinations. Each session admitted two or three Seme people, called "Banghua".

A considerable number of these big food merchants have the ability to invest in immigration.

However, the Dashi merchant was very smart. After listening to Zhang Haisan's introduction, someone immediately spoke:

“Can’t we buy land and build houses?”

In fact, some of them have inquired about it before, and the problem is that the rules here in the SAR are very different.

Zhang Haisan immediately stated a lot of special zone regulations, such as not buying small pieces of land, only buying large pieces of land, and building houses according to the plan, and even building a house must be submitted for construction. After introducing this complicated set of regulations, everyone here looked at each other, and no one mentioned the matter of buying land and building buildings. Taking advantage of the management methods for building houses from later generations, the threshold was set high. Anyone in this era would shake his head when he heard this.

"Then, I don't know what the selling price of this house is?" The pragmatic people began to enter the inquiry process.

"The four-star standard price is 30 jin per square meter abbot. If someone wants to buy a house with a five-star standard like Duke, I'm sorry, the price will be higher, and the selling price is 80 jin per square meter abbot."

"Oh, how much does a five-star standard house cost?" Puqu became interested.

"A house is one hundred square abbot and eight thousand guan."

Baqianguan is not a big money for the Pu family. I heard that the Duke of the State Council is more than one level better than Yuelai Inn. Puqu thinks that the Abbot of the 80 Guan per square meter should be worth the money, and the children of the Pu family can study under Lu Jiuyuan. This cannot be bought with money. I have already decided to buy a set. However, Puqu thought about it and made a tentative request:

"I wonder if I can go down to visit the Duke's Headquarters. Well, it's good to take a look. I'm determined to buy a set, and I want to see how luxurious the Duke's Headquarters is."

Zhang Hai Sanwan didn't expect someone to take the bait immediately. Chief Executive Mao said it was no better. He was not afraid of the price being expensive, but there were always people who like to buy expensive ones. The headquarters was originally a model building, and there were arrangements in advance. Zhang Haisan immediately launched a smile service and said politely:

"It's not impossible to see the Duke's Headquarters, but this matter must be fair and accurate. Now it's a storm. If you want to see it, you have to wait until a clear day."

After a promotion, the effect was very good. The other five big food merchants were also interested in buying a four-star standard house of 30 guan per square meter. One set of 900 guan. It seems that they are not short of this amount of money.

Zhang Haisan only recommended it, and it was Zhou Xun's business for the specific negotiations. Zhou Xun's construction team is getting stronger and stronger, and he established a Gaojian Real Estate Company based on Chief Executive Mao's suggestion. Zhou Xun naturally hopes that the more home buyers will be better.

Next, the merchants of Dasong were also invited to attend Zhang Haisan's house buying promotion conference. However, for merchants of Dasong, they looked at the food for the sales of houses. The highest standard was that compared with the four-star standard of Yuelai Inn, there were three levels in total. Because the price was not too expensive and the strong temptation of top educational resources, some people also took the bait.

The three consecutive days of heavy rain have given Mao Geng a good start to his investment immigration plan.

Three days later, the weather finally cleared.

During the three days of heavy rain, although Gaojian Company was happy to open, Han Tuozhou still felt the most accomplished. Han Tuozhou got the number one cooperative trader on the Arab route, which made Han Tuozhou very happy. The Pu family claimed that its family capital was over one million, and its scale of maritime trade was among the top among Dashi merchants. Before Han Tuozhou could fly directly to Arabia, he had to rely on Dashi's capable merchants to engage in the trade of this route.

So far, the global commercial layout of Taiwan-Songhai Trade has been basically completed, and the entire world's trade seems to be under my control.

However, some people are happy and some are worried. As the indicators are adjusted for the Pu family, the indicators of other merchants have been affected a little. Of course, the main reason is that the merchants in the Song Dynasty have been the most affected. They were told that due to the heavy rain, production has been affected, and the supply period of the goods they ordered has to be postponed. Small merchants know that this is lies, but since ancient times, they have had to accept it silently.

Fortunately, the indicators of Japanese and Korean merchants have not been reduced. This time, Taiwan Song Haimao gave enough face to the Korean merchants and Japanese merchants. In addition to ensuring that the goods can be filled with their merchant ships, after the weather cleared, the Taiwan Song Haimao's merchant ship was also loaded with bulk goods such as cement, ceramic tiles, iron nails, glazed tiles, and some other goods. At that time, the fleet will pass through Jeju Island and then go to Japan to do a Shun Road business, and then the fleet will go straight to Hokkaido.

The two whaling ships were equipped with whaling cannons on each bow. In fact, whaling cannons can also fire shotguns and spherical projectiles when necessary. The other two cannons were installed on the escort warship.

The Jinding ranks had a total of 600 people, fifteen large and small ships, plus two from Goryeo and two from Japanese merchants, and a fleet of nineteen ships set out from Kaohsiung and headed eastward.
Chapter completed!
