Chapter 816
Wang Ben's casual tone made Chen Xu and Fan Caiying look at each other, but Chen Xu knew that if all the real estates were disposed of, they would be at least tens of millions of dollars.
Because with the increasing population of Xianyang, the land near Xianyang is very expensive now, not to mention land and manors, some wealthy merchants and wealthy families do not like to do business, but only like to buy land and real estate, believing that real estate and land are the most stable assets.
And this idea is also good. In any era, houses and grain fields are the most important and most valuable. In addition to saving money, Chinese people like to buy land and houses the most. Some big landlords have accumulated this way by generations.
Therefore, when Wang Ben suddenly came to the door and broke his fortune, and wanted to sell all the fields and real estate to support Chen Xu in developing commercial projects, Chen Xu was confused in an instant.
Therefore, Chen Xu had been struggling for a long time, and finally he could only think that Wang Jian and his son might not be good at operating business. Selling land and houses is the most prodigal behavior. Do you feel distressed if you have accumulated assets like this after more than ten years of relying on military merits?
"Tongwuhou, if you and the General really plan to sell land and real estate and invest the money in Cuju field and department store to support Xu's project, Xu is very grateful, but Xu advises you to go home and consider it clearly. After all, these land and real estate are exchanged for you and the General's bloody battle. If there is a mistake in the future that my plan fails and cannot make money, your investments will be lost, and Xu will not be able to afford the losses at that time!"
Chen Xu hesitated and began to refuse. After all, this is a commercial project, and no one can guarantee that it will succeed. Even if it fails 10% of the time, he will not be able to afford so much money. Even if he can afford it, he will definitely feel distressed and unable to sleep for three years.
"Hey~, please don't refuse. Money is something outside of your body. My father and son are all reckless men who put their heads on their belts. Now they all have achieved success. The fief of Meiyuan Town alone is enough to support all the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion. These fields and real estate in Xianyang are of no use to us, and it is quite difficult to manage them. When Ben came, his father gave the order. As long as the Marquis of Qinghe felt that it could be done, he could start dealing with them immediately. Ben brought all the land deeds for these fields and real estate today, and I will take them later!" Wang Ben waved his hand and said.
"Don't be too frivolous in this matter. Tomorrow Xu went to Mihara Town to visit the general and made a conclusion!" Chen Xu shook his head.
"Don't use it, this is arranged by my father. Ben also came to discuss with the Hou Qinghe Marquis today on his order. Before leaving, his father told Ben that the money would be regarded as a reward and compensation for the Hou Qinghe Marquis' kindness to Qingxiu. Although Qingxiu was born in a villain, he was named a princess by the emperor. Hou Qinghe Marquis saved her life several times without any grudges. Unfortunately, she was only blamed for her poor life and no blessing in favor of the Hou Qinghe Marquis. Ben also regretted it deeply. This matter was decided, and the Hou did not have to visit the Hou's Mansion. His father was seriously ill and could hardly see anyone. He even did not see the envoys sent by His Majesty, so the Hou arranged everything by himself. After Ben returned, he would arrange for someone to send the money in the treasury to the Huaxia Money House for Mrs. Fan to count and keep the account. Please ask Hou Qinghe!"
After Wang Ben said that, he stood up and went out to give some instructions. A guard quickly brought in two servants from the Tongwu Hou Mansion. He carried a large wooden box and put it in front of Chen Xu. He opened it. It was filled with rolls of yellow bamboo slips, which should be all the land deeds of the real estate that Wang Ben mentioned.
"Qinghe Marquis, Ben is going to enter the palace to pay homage to the emperor, so he will say goodbye!"
Wang Ben stopped staying for a long time, and left a box of bamboo slips and said goodbye. Chen Xu had to send him to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. He watched Wang Ben walk away with a group of guards before returning to the living room.
Fan Caiying was carefully looking through these bamboo slips, including dozens of volumes of decrees and decrees that the emperor had awarded at the time, all of which were put together. It was obvious that Wang Jian and his son were determined to hand over these things to Chen Xu in one go.
"Marty, with these cadastral lands and imperial edicts, these fields and real estate can be easily sold and dealt with..." Fan Caiying looked at Chen Xu excitedly.
But Chen Xu sat on the chair and started drinking tea slowly.
He really couldn't understand the thoughts and practices of Wang Jian and his son.
Even though Chen Xu himself was full of beautiful prospects for the prospects of this department store, as long as Daqin continued to develop according to his ideas, it would inevitably be a milestone in the history of business. But the so-called man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Do you know whether this shopping mall will make money, or how long it will take to start making money. However, no matter how hard the land and real estate that Wang Jian and his son have won in wars for more than ten years, they still have more than 100,000 stones of grain income every year, which is no less than the size of a medium-sized county. They are definitely a wealthy man of the vassal level and can crush almost all the wealthy merchants in Daqin.
Of course, with the rise of steel and cement merchants, these incomes may not be enough, but the advantage lies in the stability of income from drought and flood. As long as you don’t experience the natural disaster of non-grained income, the annual tax revenue is still very stable.
Therefore, the behavior of Wang Jian and his son seems to be a bit confused.
As for Wang Ben's reason for saying that it was because of Wang Qingxiu, Chen Xu first ruled it out.
In this era, the prosperity of the family is completely impossible to compare with a granddaughter who was born and died. Even Chen Xu himself could not use this stupid move.
"Caiying, why do you think Wang Jian and his son do this?" Chen Xu looked at Fan Caiying who was still rummaging through the wooden box.
Fan Caiying stood up and thought for a long time and said, "Mr. Marquis, I guess the General and Marquis Tongwu have seen the speed of making money by Marquis, and don't want to miss this opportunity. And this is also a good opportunity for you. How can the General, three Marquis of Che, work together with him to build this project? No one dares to easily argue about Marquis' business reform in the future. If Li Si wants to deal with Marquis, he will be more cautious and cautious..."
"Well, you've analyzed it well..." Chen Xu pinched his chin and nodded slightly, "That's how Wang Jian and his son plan to support my reform, but isn't this a little too expensive?"
"Caiying thinks the price is not too high. These land and real estate plus the more than 10 million yuan of Tongwu Hou Mansion will not exceed 40 million yuan. With the ability of the Marquis to make money, it is possible to pay him 230 million yuan in ten or twenty years. After all, they have helped the Marquis solve the urgent problem. With this money, the Marquis invested another six million yuan, and some merchants who defected to the Marquis to make up a few million yuan, and the rest will be loaned by the money house. Basically, the Cuju Commercial Plaza can be completed smoothly. The pressure on the money house is reduced by half. Just the Marquis should consider the distribution of shares. If, according to the scale of investment, the Marquis' Mansion will account for at least 40%, and you may not be able to get absolute voice in the board of directors..."
"This is not important. What I want is that this project can start smoothly. There are too many projects that make money in the world, and I will not get involved everywhere. This project is actually an experiment. The purpose is to let the merchants in the world see the scale effect and business model of this comprehensive shopping mall. You can collect these land deeds first, and send out the news to see if there are any wealthy merchants and princes and princes who are interested in these fields and real estate. Then count how much cash you can get after the sale. It is January now. I hope that the project of Cuju Commercial Plaza can be fully implemented by the end of February!"
"Yes, Caiying will start to handle it today!" Fan Caiying nodded and agreed.
In the evening, Wang Ben returned to his hometown in Meiyuan Town and found that his father Wang Jian was already sitting in the living room waiting.
"Dad, why haven't you rested yet because you're so late?"
"How is the matter done? What did the Hou Qinghe say?" Wang Jian asked.
Wang Ben quickly told Chen Xu about the communication, and then couldn't help but complain: "Dad, these grain fields and real estate are all the property we have worked hard for more than ten years. I really can't figure it out if I give him such a cuju venue so easily!"
"Silly, money is something outside of your body. Just the fief near Meiyuan Town, I can't eat and drink all the food in Tongwu Hou Mansion. Can those grain fields and real estate be left in your hands? The sky has begun to change, and I can't see clearly. In the future, those who can control the Qin Dynasty will be no more than the Qinghe Hou. When he encounters difficulties, we will help us and we will definitely gain a huge favor!"
"Then we don't have to be so anxious to pay such a big price!" Wang Ben was still puzzled.
"It is far better to add icing on the cake to help you in time. When he finds a way to raise enough money and grain, we will deliver it to the door. Although it is difficult for him to refuse, the meaning is completely different. At that time, he only thinks that I am taking advantage of the situation to rob..."
"Dad, but..." Although Wang Ben knew that his father's statement was correct, the knot in his heart could not be solved. Tens of millions of dollars were thrown to Chen Xu to build a Cuju venue. He also didn't know if he could earn back the money in the future, except for the pain of happiness or heartache.
"But that's a big deal. You went to see the emperor. What did the emperor say about this?" Wang Jian's eyes changed the topic.
"The emperor only said that this is our family matter, and he asked us to take care of it ourselves!"
"I feel relieved in this way. I will arrange for someone to send the money in the treasury tomorrow for Wang San and Wang Si to send it. I will give up this matter and don't go and inquire again!"
