Section 1888 Zhou's Real Estate
"Stupid, I really don't know how you got into this position, you'll blush even if you say a word." Lu Manjia looked at Li Cong's appearance and said, Li Cong is really a bit of a pig brother now, Li Cong has not shown such an appearance for many years. Li Cong is really attracted to Lu Manjia, not only because of appearance, but Lu Manjia is also the first person he sees. A girl with public morality hopes that her medical skills can save more and more people. Such a person is also worthy of my respect.
"Actually, I didn't work hard. It seems that my luck has always been very good. I was not a magician when I was born, but one day I suddenly became a magician, and I was a dual-line magician. I didn't even think about it." Li Cong said with a smile, his Li Dai's family naturally found out a lot, and Lu Manjia also knew about it. Who can say about the magic awakening of the magician? I don't know, there are some people who awakened their magic when they were dozens of years old. It can be said that there are many such things. No one will have any doubts. It is also possible for Li Cong to attribute everything to luck. , how many people know that Li Cong relies on luck, and they all hope that they can have that kind of luck, but it is a pity that they don't have that kind of luck.
"Spoof, I didn't see how you have such a bad habit before, but now I see it." The style of Lu Manjia's every move really surprised Li Cong, and he had seen this before. I have met the girl many times, but this girl's every move still attracts me so much. I didn't do this before, so I can only say that this girl is too unusual.
"By the way, why did you come with the Tuoba family? Could it be that you are already the daughter-in-law of the Tuoba family? No, if you become the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, why haven't you done your hair yet?" It's like that, and the Tuoba family won't let their daughter-in-law come out to meet the guests, right?" Li Cong said with a smirk, and Lu Manjia didn't answer this guy directly, and he would be right if he copied something. Li Cong was getting rough, and thousands of people in the entire base were watching these two flirting.
"Okay. Okay, let's stop making trouble. What's going on? Why didn't I know that you would come with them? Didn't it mean that your Dai family has a good relationship with them?" The two chased after them. After half an hour, they stopped in a small pavilion near the lake, and Li Cong asked someone to bring a pot of tea to the two of them. I'm really tired right now.
"Hmph, it's not because of you. Originally, I was going to marry Tuoba Hongye. The two of us are a perfect match. I don't know how many people envy us, and many people love us. Blessings, I want to be a young lady for the Tuoba family in the future, who knows that some meddling guy just tore us apart, sent some broken medicine pills, and brought A few monsters are going to scare people. Have you never seen a monster? Not to mention, the members of the Tuoba family have never seen a monster, and they all gave in because of that broken medicine pill and the monster. No, they just told my father that it’s okay. The marriage was originally decided when the two old men drank too much, so it can’t be counted, so there is no need to abide by it now. I’m fine at home, My old man and many people think that I eat idle food at home, but our Dai family is completely different from before. Our Dai family is now in ruins.
I handed over all the money I had to my family. I don't know that there is a free boat or something. I just came up, and I got here all the way. I can't be a bad young lady anymore. The food stamps for this life are gone, and some people have to take care of the food. "Lu Manjia said in a strange way, these words did not make Li Cong very uncomfortable, on the contrary, it made Li Cong very happy. I don't know what to say when I am so happy. It turns out that it is such a thing, of course I will be responsible Alright, is there anyone here who wants to be more responsible than me? Absolutely not.
"Hehe, this matter is really soul-stirring, but you don't have to worry, that villain may have his own difficulties, so I think you should not go to him, we two are so familiar, you are not If you have no skills, I will invest in Jiangning City for you in the future. In fact, you don’t need to go to the Warcraft Mountains. This Jiangning City can be said to be dedicated to serving mercenaries. Each of them has their own injuries. Yes, you can be so busy here that you will die every day." Li Cong said with a smile, when he talked about that "wicked person", this guy looked smug, his method is really good, send a bright eye pill over there It's just an apology, with a slight threat, that is my master alchemist, your Tuoba family is very powerful, but will you offend the alchemist because of a woman? He is still a very powerful magician, of course they would not believe that Li Cong could let the four wolf kings serve as a follower to an ordinary person. This is definitely what Li Cong's master did. There are no more than three empires, at least that old guy's ability is among the top three in the Western Empire, and they can't afford to mess with this.
"Hey, big villain, but I have something to say before, I also know what that big villain is doing, I know that there are three wives and four concubines in that big villain's family, I absolutely need freedom, I will not talk to some I need to have my own freedom and my own home." Lu Manjia said seriously, he is not used to the way of the rich family, although Cui Xian'er gets along well with the princess now, but the etiquette he should have It is still necessary. The status of a wife and a concubine is very different. Although Li Cong is not a person of this era, he can't go against the feudal ethics. Everyone is equal. You can only talk in your heart. Besides, it is not true that everyone is equal on earth, it is just a sentence in the law books.
"Okay, even if the big villain agrees to you, you can do whatever you want." Li Cong said with a smile, isn't this just an outside room? Such things are normal in the upper echelons of the empire. It would be embarrassing if there is no outer room, even the emperor has such a thing, the princess and the others are all from rich families, and they are very clear about this.
"Okay, then you will pay me to do things today. I need a big house. If you don't want me to prepare it, I have to prepare it myself. And you will be my wallet and mistress today. I want to be a full-fledged gold digger. I’m comfortable spending all the money in your hands, how about it?” said the little girl, this funny look also made Li Cong very funny, spending all the money in his hands? What a joke, if I spend all my money, the price of the whole city will probably be much higher. How much money do I have? I don't know myself either. But it can definitely be called a rich country.
"Let's go, then don't talk nonsense here. You can just take the two Xiaosi out, so you can save yourself from hugging each other after you go out." Since Lu Manjia wants Li Cong to be the waiter in the shop, she will naturally not let Li Cong go out. From the one with too many entourages, it doesn't matter if Li Cong takes a few people to go with him, the rest is naturally for Li Cong to do it himself, and Li Cong hasn't gone out for a long time. It's been a while, and it's okay to go to the city to have a look. If this girl wants to play, she can just accompany her, anyway, it's fine. The most important thing recently is the plan to evacuate the governor in the provincial capital, as well as the cooperation with the Tuoba family. Now Agui is helping me in the provincial capital. I don’t need to do anything, all I need is a Attitude is enough, as for Tuoba's family, no matter how urgent it is, it will be tomorrow's business. There won't be anything going on today, so I'll just do everything for this girl today.
Li Cong randomly asked two people to go out with him. These two people are also fifth-level fighters. A very big negative. It’s just that the progress in the future is very limited. After all, they were not warriors at all before, but ordinary people. Li Cong had to use pills to get these people up, otherwise they might stay at this level for the rest of their lives. , of course, does not rule out a few very powerful people. They may break through, but the probability of this is very low, so low that even Li Cong doesn't believe it. It is said that ants may grow into elephants, but they will never break through.
There were only more than 1,000 people who came out for the first time. Li Cong used all his strength to get them out. All of them were trained in the martial arts hall. It can be said that they only had five They have the strength of super fighters, but they don't know how to move at all. It is impossible to go into battle immediately. They must have a good master to teach them for a period of time. It happened that Liu Qing and his sister He is an expert in this field. In the past, Li Cong wanted Gao Feng and the others to be the coaches, but these guys wanted to live a normal life, so Li Cong had to find another teacher.
Li Cong, Lu Manjia, and two attendants walked out without even making a carriage. There is still some distance from the main road of Jiangning City, but Lu Manjia is very unfamiliar with this place. Shopping is also very interesting. Li Cong is naturally very familiar with this place. It can be said that the former Jiangning City is not visible at all now. What is in front of people now is a new Jiangning City. This new Jiangning City is four The vertical and horizontal layout has a total of eight streets, and the one closest to the center is where the dignitaries live. There are no commercial activities here. All the commercial activities are basically concentrated in the south, but compared to other urban commercial The area is much larger. At this moment, Li Cong and the others entered the city from the south.
There are not so many refugee camps outside the city, but there are still quite a few refugees, at least one million people, and 60% of them are left over from the last beast tide. Most of the tens of millions of refugees have already been settled. They either went to other cities or entered some factories to work. In short, they gained a new life with the help of the Cao Charity Fund. Most of the people in this refugee camp are old, weak, sick and disabled. These people don't have any ability to work at all, and they don't want to always hang around here and wait to die, but society really doesn't need them. , if a lot of people want to go out to work, they may have to lie in bed for several months after a day's work. What is the use of such people? Cao's Charity Foundation directly raises these people, of course Well, not all people are treated like this, it must have no bad record before, if you have done something bad before, then I'm sorry, you can find a way out by yourself.
Through the original education, the workers who walked out of the refugee camps automatically got back 10% of their monthly salary. They also knew that those people in the refugee camps did not have high demands. , just hope that they can have enough food, they have received help from the foundation, and now they can also help the foundation. Although 10% of the salary of each person is not a lot, but 10% of the salary of tens of millions of people can be calculated as the total salary of one million people. It is very easy for one million people to support one million people , and Li Cong also told those who have donated money that as long as they can donate for more than fifteen years, they can come here to retire when they are old. They also saw that the appearance of the refugee camp is changing every day of. Now it can no longer be called a refugee camp, compared with the place where ordinary soldiers and civilians live. That is, there are a little more people.
Stimulated by Li Cong's plan, more and more people joined the ranks. They all lost most of their family members in the beast tide. They have no problem working for fifteen years. Children can still come here to provide for the elderly. This is also their way of providing for the elderly. Even if many people who have not left the refugee camp have joined this, they will also hand in one-tenth of their salary. For a while, the Caoshi Charity Foundation had a lot more money.
This made Cui Xianer very happy. This is to improve the lives of these people in the refugee camps. It’s impossible to always eat food but not meat, but Li Cong didn’t want them to spend the money so quickly. Like some countries in China, when the financial conditions are good, the welfare of the people will be greatly increased, but when the financial conditions are not good, this will be a huge financial burden. Cui Xianer did this in a short time and the refugees were happy. But when those who paid the money come in fifteen years later, what will you do if you have no money? At that time, those people may have to live here for more than ten or twenty years. The money they handed over is now for you to use. , but what about his money? If you want new people coming in all the time, the money may be fine, but if there are fewer and fewer people coming in in the future. What to do? Do you have to take out the money yourself? Although the foundation usually has a lot of people going in to donate, and driven by Li Cong, there are often some charity auctions in Jiangning City in normal times, but the money is compared with the money spent. It was still too little.
For example, there are still 1.45 million people in refugee camps. Each person needs an average of 1.5 catties of grain for three meals a day. Counting other vegetables, the final cost is about 3 catties of grain. The price of food in the city is 15 Wen a catty. This person costs 45 Wen a day and 1350 Wen a month. This is more than one million taels a month for food alone, plus clothing. There are also medicines and other things. This month, 2 million taels is not enough, but the annual amount is more than 20 million taels. If the foundation does not have a long-term source of money, it may fall in a few days. Can't do it.
Now the biggest source of the foundation is the long-term interest. Li Cong took out 200 million taels of silver and put it in the bank, with 3% interest every month. This is 6 million taels of silver. That's right, if it expands in the future, the money will not be used at all, and the bank may not be able to release the money all the time. It can be said that it can get an average of 4 million taels of silver every month. Yes, without this money, the foundation would still not be sustainable.
"It seems that you are still doing a good job here. I have seen many cities with refugees. There will always be such people in this society. Whether it is a disaster here or a man-made one, the people always The worst thing is, just like what happened in the Warcraft Mountains this time, it seems that a very powerful monster appeared, and those people who were close to the Warcraft Mountains all went to the inland. Our Dai family is also like this. They went to the inland The city always needs life, so I took the money from the bus and went to the home of the local officials. When they came out, those ordinary people would have no land of their own. The small landlords are also miserable, and their land is the same They were all bought away, although the price is still very fair, but the land is fundamental to the common people, and many people have become refugees like that.” Lu Manjia is also very interested in charity, if If he can integrate into Li Cong's family, Li Cong wants her to manage it with Cui Xian'er. Of course, she is mainly in charge of the medical side.
"I just do what I should do. Cao's House now has millions of people, and 70% of them have come out of refugee camps. When people are most in danger, you give them If he eats a bite, then you are the greatest benefactor in this person's life, and I like the feeling of being a benefactor." Li Cong looked at the horse-drawn carriages in the convoy of collectors in the distance, transporting various goods towards the big city in the distance go on the road. Most of these coachmen are former refugees. They trained them by themselves, gave them the skills of coachmen, and then hired them to work. Most of the people in Cao's House are the same as Li Cong said. They planned to work with Li Cong for the rest of their lives. When they arrived here, if they had nothing to eat, they could only sell their sons and daughters. No way, if you don't do that. This is definitely not going to survive, and this is the only way to survive. Even though Li Cong gave them a bowl of porridge, although they were not full, they always let their bodies know what food is like. Pay off their boss.
"Hehe, there is actually another thing. I think these people were not from this city before. They have no foundation, and there will be no people from other forces mixed in. In this way, your Cao's firm is also a commercial spy. The least place, what do you think I said?" Lu Manjia was smart and quickly found another reason from Li Cong, who was looking at charity. This is not what a philanthropist should have or say What should be done, Li Cong is also a little hot on the face.
"You don't need to feel any embarrassment. In fact, many people do that, but they do it more covertly. You do it more directly, which also shows that you are very smart. Even if others know it is In this way, but they can't help it. They can't ask their own people to pretend to be beggars and get in." Lu Manjia saw Li Cong's embarrassment.
"Okay, don't talk about these things about me, let's go to the city and take a look." After passing the refugee camp, you will find the South Gate, which still charges entry fees like other cities. Several people from Li Cong paid one hundred yuan for the city entry fee. The city entry fee here may be the lowest in the entire empire. The entry fee of a county is almost the same as that of a county. This is also what Li Cong meant, and it turns out that this is also correct. Many ordinary people are unable to enter the city because of the entrance fee. They may never have the possibility of entering the city in their entire lives. The street seems to be more lively, and the business of these merchants naturally increased. Although they are all small-profit transactions, anyway, there are a lot of people in this place. For some merchants, It is also a very happy thing.
"If we want to buy a house, we still go to the largest real estate agency here. If you look at it street by street, it will be a big trouble. Although Jiangning City is not comparable to the capital city, the development in recent years has been very good. It can be said that it is bigger than the provincial capitals of some provinces." Li Cong said after entering the city, indeed, just as Li Cong said, if the cities of the entire empire were ranked, Jiangning City would definitely be able to It is said to be one of the top ten big cities, because this is the closest city to the Warcraft Mountains, and the number of mercenaries who entered the Warcraft Mountains from here would have to be 80 million if not 100 million. The business opportunities they brought are Quite a lot, if it weren't for them, the city would never have developed so fast.
"Okay, then go to the real estate agency. It's just that I don't like dealing with these guys. They are all vampires. You, the second child, have to have a good talk with them later, you can't Tell them to take advantage of us." Lu Manjia looked at the things on both sides and said, after all, there are many differences between the Western Empire and the Northern Empire, and the little girl probably forgot what she just said after wandering around. It's almost the same, no, they are all attracted by the special products of the Northern Empire.
The largest real estate agency in Jiangning City is Zhou’s Real Estate, the largest real estate agency in the empire. Although it is called Zhou’s Real Estate, Li Cong clearly knows that this real estate has nothing to do with Zhou’s surname. More than a dozen shareholders are all big families in the capital, and the brave Earl who had a feud with him at the beginning is also one of them. In recent years, due to the development of Jiangning City, they have also developed rapidly. Li Cong's Cao family Commercial banks have not entered the real estate industry, and it is not obvious now, but their life will get better and better as they develop slowly. It can be said that Li Cong has no interest in this kind of blood-sucking business. It seems that it is a very immoral thing to spend money on others after attracting them for a lifetime. At least I would not do such a thing myself.
"Among the guest officials, we are the largest real estate agency in the entire Jiangning City and even the entire province. Whether you want to sell a house, buy a house, rent a house or rent out a house, we can handle it for you well. Of course, you just need to pay a little commission, and we will take care of all these trivial matters and other procedures for you." The receptionist is also a guy who knows how to judge people, looking at Li Cong You can tell by the clothes on several people, these masters are all rich, especially the young master in front of him. Good guy, not everyone can wear this suit of Ricoh Brocade. How can this outfit be enough for a three-entry house? People like this must come to buy luxury houses. Although Jiangning City has gone out a lot these years, there are only a few luxury houses, so let’s hurry up. Take these people upstairs, and the ones downstairs are all small businesses. Maybe the money earned by these small businesses for a month is not as good as the one above.
"Hehe, you don't need to tell us about your Zhou's real estate. We have all heard of it. If your brand was not loud enough, we would not have come to your place. I can see that your place is Very professional. I need a house with at least four entrances. The location is preferably close to the city. The price is not a problem. I don’t know if you have it in your hand, and if you have the ability to do the decoration later And do it for me." Li Cong went up and looked rich and rich in clothes, and even Lu Manjia was amused by Li Cong's appearance, but the little girl next to him didn't see it that way. This beauty bought a house, to be honest. Such a beautiful woman really needs a big house with four entrances. She is different from me, and my sister is also good. If I can be a concubine for this young master, I will be fine in my life, but my own There is a lot of difference between a girl and this girl, so don't dream about it.
"This young master is very proud at first glance. To be honest, our shop receives eighty people every day if not a hundred. The big house like the young master who is about to enter with a single mouth is still from the inner city. , This is definitely not much, at least we haven’t encountered one in the recent period. It’s a coincidence that the young master came here. It just so happens that we have a few houses like this in our hands. From the young master’s point of view, this is ours. Model, there are four houses with four entrances, and two of them meet the young master's requirements. One of these two houses is near the earl's mansion, and the other is near the city lord's mansion. This is the best location in the city now. These two houses In the past, all the people who lived there were officials, but now because they have been transferred, they are now free. They are all busy taking up posts in other places, so they don’t have time to care about such small things. You know, for Gao Sheng’s As far as the officials are concerned, they don't care about such small problems." The guy pointed to the two big houses and said, it looked really good from the model, and Li Cong was very satisfied, especially with himself Lu Manjia looked at Li Cong and knew at a glance that this guy would definitely buy himself the one close to his home. Except for that, Li Cong didn’t want to buy anything else. In fact, that is to say, how to arrange it is not Li Cong's business, Lu Manjia happily went to the side to see some weird things.
"These two houses are very good. Please explain in detail the one in the Earl's Mansion." Li Cong pointed to that one and said. Sure enough, Li Cong still hoped that Lu Manjia could live closer with him. Now Lu Manjia I don't want to be in contact with my family members, but after a long time, I can be together, and I can take care of more or less people, right? Otherwise, if something happens, it will be difficult to handle.
"The young master has a good eye. This house has not been here for a month. During this month, quite a few people have seen it." Blind eyes, damn, this ability to tell lies is really too strong. I said just now that I haven’t met such a person in a while, but now what are you talking about? Many people have come here this month. Look, you kid is really slick, but Li Cong doesn't want to bother with such a small character, and the households who spread it like this seem very tasteless.
"This house belonged to the former city defense general, General Cheng. Recently, General Cheng seemed to have gone to the provincial capital for meritorious service or some other reason, so this house was vacant. The new city defense general should be the best choice. It's a pity that the city defense general is not very satisfied with this place. In fact, we are very clear about what he thinks about being an official. It's nothing more than not wanting to live in the earl's mansion. Our lord earl belongs to the son-in-law. He is still a very good person. But this temper is not very good. The two families are so close. If there is any friction in the future, it will be difficult to talk about it. The house is so empty. If the young master is interested, we will You can sit down and have a good talk." This guy just talked about some things about the court, but this guy's calculations are similar. In fact, the upper class is just such a little thing, as long as you are willing to use your brain to think about it, you can always make the best choice.
Li Cong personally handled the matter of the city defense general. This guy is from Harman before. Although he is very close to him, he is not his own after all. It is better not to keep such a person by his side. It can be regarded as a test for this guy. , See if this guy can follow his hint and go to the provincial capital to have a good time with Ferdinando?
"Well, I'm still very interested in this house, but I don't know what price you offer here, so just tell me." Li Cong said.
"The young master is still impatient. Since the young master said that, I will not hide it. The things in this house are all newly built. The last general asked for 125,000 taels of silver. If the young master really likes it If so, I think the fraction of the 5,000 taels should be fine, and we have to charge a 10% commission here. This is an industry regulation." The guy said with a smile, in fact, the price offered by the general was 110,000 taels of silver, the extra 15,000 taels of silver has nothing to do with the original person. If this guy wants to get an extra 15,000 taels of silver, plus a commission of 12,000 taels of silver, the front and back are 27,000 taels silver. Li Cong still knows a little about the housing prices in the city. The price of this house is not considered a scam. It will definitely be able to reach this price in the future, but it is definitely not now.
"Hehe, this price is a bit high, I may not accept it, how about one hundred thousand taels of silver?" Li Cong said after thinking about it. He felt that the house was about 110,000 taels of silver, and it was absolutely impossible to reach 120,000 taels of silver. The reason why he said a price of 100,000 taels of silver was actually to leave room for bargaining for himself.
"Young Master, this price is absolutely unacceptable. As you know, this price was left by the original customers. Recently, there have been more people looking at this house, and many people can pay 110,000 taels of silver." The above, but we still haven't sold it, mainly because the owner is unwilling. His house has undergone a large-scale renovation. It can be said that the renovation fee is not a small amount, and it has only been completed for two years. It’s just that it’s time to live in, so the price of 100,000 taels of silver can’t be sold.” The guy said in embarrassment, indeed, if the house is really sold for 100,000 taels of silver, He doesn't make any money at all. He won't do such a thing. If there are some dilapidated residential buildings, this guy will definitely sell them at this price, because those residential buildings are not a place for him to make money at all. , Such a mansion is where I should make money, a few taels of silver can make a family of four live a good life, not to mention so much money, so this guy needs to get more commission for himself.
"Master, in fact, the price is not very expensive at all. Although it is a little expensive now, but look at the surrounding area, what is the status of the Earl's Mansion, and who are the people who usually go in and out? If you can talk to the inside If you want to make friends with someone, I really have nothing to say in the days to come. The earl is a very cute person. Many people say that the earl has a sharp eye for everything. At the beginning, I didn't believe it. , Now look at the houses in the Earl's house, all of them are in the places where the prices have risen the most. These places make the Earl earn a lot of money. If you buy a house here, The feng shui in this Earl’s house may be well done by you.” This real estate agent really can do anything, and in a short while, he became a fortune teller, and such things have to be believed by others. OK
"Hehe, I know all these things. Just tell me the final price. If I can accept it, I will buy it immediately. If I can't accept it, I will return a price. If you are willing, you can go through the formalities for me, no If you want, just pretend that I haven't been here." Li Cong said, the guy looked at Li Cong and knew that this guy was emotional again now, and he was going to come for real.
"Okay, it's a blessing for this house that Mr. has taken a fancy to this house. We also hope that this gentleman can move in sooner. The price is 110,000 taels of silver. How about it? I gave up 10,000 at once. A lot of money, to be honest, we have never seen such a profit-sharing, our Zhou’s real estate not only can’t make any money, but we have to explain it to others for a while, we are really losing money and making money.” The guy said, He also said that when he saw that the business could be successful. Li Cong weighed it in. Such a mansion would not be waiting here every day, so it seems pretty good.
"Hehe, okay, for this price, this is the deposit, and the rest will naturally be given to you after viewing the house." Li Cong took out a 50 tael gold ingot and said, this guy immediately took the gold ingot I got up, and gave Li Cong a receipt, and immediately went down and arranged for someone to take Li Cong and the others to see the house. They agreed to come back here in a few hours to sign the contract.
"I saw it so quickly. I thought it would take a long time to look at the house. I said you didn't show me your heart. How could you get things done so quickly?" Haven't watched enough of the houses here As for things, Li Cong has finished talking here, Lu Manjia pouted and said, Li Cong is not here to perfuse himself.
"Miss, the reason why it took so long to look at the house is actually due to economic reasons. There is no such reason for this young master. Naturally, the time to look at the house will be much faster." This guy worked hard to help Li Cong said good things. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
