Chapter 483: Economic Center
September 20th, Shanhai City.
When Ouyang Shuo was inspecting Zhaoqing County, the members of the Song family also temporarily settled down in Shanhai City. In order to compensate for the loss of Tianshuang County, Ouyang Shuo granted the Song family a large plot of land, enough to plan and build a large area of houses, shops and workshops, and build a relatively independent small neighborhood.
Of course, the Song family had to pay for the construction costs themselves.
With the entry of major chambers of commerce and the rise of private ownership, Shanhai City now has a large number of private construction teams in addition to the official construction teams under the jurisdiction of the Construction Department.
As long as these non-governmental teams report to the Construction Department and obtain legal qualifications, they can undertake construction projects by chambers of commerce or private individuals in Shanhai City.
It is even said that in official construction projects, if the construction teams under the Construction Department are too busy, the government will pay for these private construction teams.
The reason for this is to further stimulate the vitality of the private ownership economy in the territory.
The planned Shanhai City is really too big. If we only rely on the official engineering team, we don't know that it will take until the Year of the Monkey. That's why the construction department came up with such a solution.
Ouyang Shuo did not expect that under his guidance, construction companies in the real world would pop up spontaneously in the territory. This also shows that the commercial atmosphere in Shanhai City is already very strong.
Not to mention the construction team, even the School of Architecture of Southwest University has begun to undertake engineering design work. It is even said that some graduates are ready to set up a design team to undertake private projects.
In the real world, a complete industrial chain of the construction industry is gradually taking shape in Shanhai City.
In the future, the government will completely withdraw from the field of engineering construction other than public construction projects.
The functions of the Construction Department will also shift from the engineering construction of the territory to the formulation of engineering construction standards, the supervision of engineering construction, and the overall planning of the city.
The government can make a lot of money just by auctioning the land.
In this way, the funds for the construction of the city wall, the construction of municipal roads, municipal facilities such as water supply and drainage, and public gardens and other public works will be completely secured, and will no longer burden the territory's finances.
This is the magic of the market.
Of course, ensuring the basic housing needs of ordinary people is an insurmountable red line set by Ouyang Shuo. The land auctioned by the government can only be used for construction such as shops, workshops, and private mansions.
In other words, the income from auctioning land is basically equal to the investment in public construction, and will not become one of the main sources of fiscal revenue for the territory.
The rise of the construction industry can be seen as a microcosm of the private ownership economy in Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo's hard work has not been in vain.
The rise of the private economy has driven more than just Shanhai City. The entire territory began to be irradiated. It is reported that in other cities, private construction teams have also begun to appear.
Shanhai City is becoming the economic center of the territory.
As far as trendy things are concerned, the birthplace is basically Shanhai City.
The residents in Shanhai City, especially the "old generation", are all the generation influenced by Ouyang Shuo's thoughts.
More than half of the bosses of Shanhai City's private construction team are from the first construction team that Ouyang Shuo formed in the village stage.
These rich people are also the backbone of Ouyang Shuo's rule.
***********
Southern Border Protectorate, Frost Cloud Hall.
Shuangyun Hall is Song Jia's bedroom, located on the east side of Wuji Hall where Ouyang Shuo lives.
Above the main hall of the main hall, Song Jia was talking to her father Song Tianxiong.
The entire Song family moved to Shanhai City, and Song Jia was the happiest. In this way, she can stay by Ouyang Shuo's side without having to bear the pain of parting from her family.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, the rest of the Song family didn't think so.
The feeling of being dependent on others is definitely not good.
Especially among the Song family, those who knew Ouyang Shuo's real identity felt even more uncomfortable. How did they expect that the poor boy in reality would suddenly become a giant in China.
On the other hand, they call the wind and rain in reality and enjoy the honor. In the end, they had to follow the winks of a "poor boy". The roles of the two parties were completely reversed.
No one will feel comfortable with this kind of reversal.
Song Tianxiong didn't have such emotion, even if he did, he would keep it in his heart. A real business tycoon like him has experienced countless storms and setbacks in his life.
In comparison, the current predicament is nothing.
After settling down the tribe, the establishment of the Song Chamber of Commerce became Song Tianxiong's top priority. Before Ouyang Shuo left Shanhai City, he had promised three conditions for the Song Family Chamber of Commerce that had not yet been established.
Now, the three conditions have been fulfilled one by one.
The first condition, the low-interest loan of more than 68,000 gold coins, was delivered to Song Tianxiong when Song Wen was in Wulong City. On the day Song Tianxiong came to Shanhai City, he went to the headquarters of the Four Seas Bank to complete the procedures.
In addition to the funds from the treasury of Tianshuang County, Song Tianxiong held more than 100,000 gold coins in his hands.
Of course, if you want to form a large chamber of commerce, 100,000 gold coins doesn't seem too huge. Just for the planned Song family, the overall project budget reached 10,000 gold coins.
The second condition, the contract for the exclusive agent of Territorial Pearl, was drawn up by the Department of Commerce long ago and handed over to Song Jia for safekeeping. As long as Song Tianli signs the contract, it will take effect immediately.
This paper contract will also become one of the main profit points of the Song Chamber of Commerce in the early stage.
Ouyang Shuo once asked the officials of the Commerce Department to calculate that, for this alone, if the Song Chamber of Commerce operates well, it can earn at least 2,000 gold coins in profit every month.
The third condition is that the ten merchant ships have already been delivered by the shipyard, and all of them are docked at the wharf in the middle area of Shanhai City, waiting for Song Tianli to receive them.
According to the current market price, the total selling price of ten merchant ships would reach 40,000 gold coins.
After understanding clearly, Song Tianxiong really had no choice but to apply for any special support from Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo's care for the Song family has been benevolent and righteous.
Even so, the Song Chamber of Commerce is still struggling in Shanhai City.
As a commercial predator in reality, how could Song Tianxiong be willing to let the Song Chamber of Commerce remain unknown in the game world. After all, the development of the chamber of commerce is linked to its future authority.
Among the members of the Song family, Song Jia, needless to say, must have extremely high authority in the future. Even if Ouyang Shuo's factors are not included, Song Jia's attainment in martial arts, coupled with her status as the head of the Dongli Sword Sect, should not be underestimated.
The two brothers, Song Wen and Song Wu, can be regarded as integrated into the Shanhai City system, seeking to be an official or a half-job. If the future is up to date, the future is also bright.
In addition, the future of the rest of the Song family is bleak. Without a territory, and living under the fence, there is no future.
Just to maintain a prosperous life, the monthly expenses of hundreds of clansmen is a huge sum. If they only rely on the profits of pearl agents, they may not even be able to support their clansmen.
The only hope is the Song Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, Song Tianxiong must find a way to grow the Song Chamber of Commerce. Since he took over the authority of the family, he naturally had to look at the responsibilities of the family together.
This is Song Tianxiong's unshirkable responsibility.
Since the fall of Tianshuang County, the old man's mood has been very low. As a son, Song Tianxiong really didn't want to look at his father, it was his unfilial piety to keep depressed like this.
Although it is said that the father and son have torn their faces apart in order to fight for power, but no matter what, it is his father. The blood connection cannot be broken up.
Song Tianxiong came to Shuangyun Palace, not to complain, he just came to see his daughter. Song Jia's home is the only comfort in Song Tianxiong's heart.
"Father, I heard from Wuyi that the fall of Tianshuang County has something to do with the Ruan family?" The father and daughter chatted for a while, and Song Jia cautiously brought up this sensitive topic.
"good!"
In front of his daughter, Song Tianxiong did not shy away from it.
The representatives of the three families who participated in the mediation before, the Zhou family was already in harmony with the Song family, and they had no knowledge of the Ruan family's sinister intentions. They came purely to mediate, but they were used as gunmen.
The Zhou family's territory was originally located in Zhaoqing County.
After the Battle of Zhaoqing ended, the Zhou family was not forgiven by Ouyang Shuo because of their vacillation. They disappeared completely and slept with everyone.
The decades-long relationship between the Song and Zhou families can be regarded as coming to an end.
The Zhao family is close to the Ruan family and is also a member of the [Southern Alliance]. Although the members of the Zhao family were not fully aware of the plans of the Ruan family, they knew a thing or two about it. Going to Tianshuang County was to cover for the Ruan family.
Therefore, the Zhao family can be regarded as an accomplice of the Ruan family.
The representatives of the two families, including the old man of the Ruan family, were detained by the Song family all the way, and they are still imprisoned in Shanhai City, the house where the Song family temporarily stayed.
As soon as the Battle of Zhaoqing ended, members of the Zhao family and the Ruan family sent several letters of negotiation to Song Tianxiong, expressing their willingness to use the ransom money to redeem the members of the family.
Especially Ruan Ping, the most anxious, you know, the Song family imprisoned his grandfather.
Just this morning, Ruan Ping sent the fourth negotiation letter, raising the ransom to 20,000 gold coins in one go. Obviously, within the family, Ruan Ping is also under tremendous pressure.
After all, according to Ruan Ping's plan, the old man of the Ruan family fell into a tiger's mouth.
After Song Jia heard the whole reason of the matter, a trace of disdain flashed across her face, and she said, "Father, according to my daughter, if the ransom is raised to 30,000 gold coins, let them go. Don't leave them in Shanhai City and pollute the people here. land."
It's not that Song Jia doesn't hold grudges, but that she doesn't want to get too entangled with the two families on the issue of hostages, because it doesn't make any sense. For Ruan and Zhao, Wuyi will deal with them sooner or later. By then, they must be ruined.
The current small fights are meaningless.
"it is good!"
Song Tianxiong also felt that there was no need to continue entanglement.
