Could it be that the imperial court has earned so much money in a whole month?
Do you have to put everything into it?
How much does a helicopter cost?
Dai Zhou was panicking at this time.
Even if he agrees, will Li Shimin agree?
Is there still room for detours?
Maybe it can be cheaper?
This was Dai Zhou's first thought.
Just like buying something, you can't just give as much as the seller says. You have to at least bargain, right?
So Dai Zhou said.
"Sir! Do you think this amount can be less? Ten billion is too high!"
If the previous 10 billion taels were probably higher, but the currency has been depreciating, the current 10 billion may be the previous billion, right? No one has calculated this.
Li Min smiled and asked: "How much do you think it will cost?"
Such a rhetorical question made the other party a little surprised.
How much is appropriate?
Naturally, the less, the better.
"How about five hundred million taels?"
This Dai Zhou really dares to ask for a price.
Moreover, the opening price is directly discounted by 0.5%.
A total of 9.5 billion was cut off.
It can’t be done like this!
Li Min smiled, how could he do what he wished?
"Dai Zhou, you are so unkind! Even if it doesn't cost anything, it won't cost more than this!"
"Sir, this may be the most money the court can spend."
"Yeah?"
"Yes!"
"Then this business may not succeed! We won't lose money here. It's better to invest the money in technology!"
"Can't you make less, sir? We can negotiate the price later!"
In Dai Zhou's opinion, Li Min still earned too much.
In his opinion, the cost of this subway will not be too high.
Li Min replied directly: "You must have a misunderstanding about this subway. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said such a thing!"
"Sir, what do you say?"
""The construction of the subway is extremely high, and a tunnel needs to be dug 20m underground. If it encounters rocks, large equipment is required, and the manufacture of such large equipment requires a lot of funds.
And because accidents are prone to occur about 20m underground.
There are also a lot of building materials required.
To put it all together, the cost alone will cost billions.
Add in labor, construction period, and some profit calculations, and charging you 10 billion is still too little.
If you hadn’t come here today and others had come without 50 billion, it would have been impossible to get it! Do you understand what I mean?”
In this way, Li Min still did it for Dai Zhou's sake.
Don’t wait for Dai Zhou to speak.qqxδnew
Li Min added: "It's up to you. Whether you want to repair it or not is just a matter of your thoughts. But what I want to say is that if a subway is built, the population of Chang'an City can be increased to at least 20 million.
And there will be no traffic congestion. If we build more subways, it won’t be a problem for a population of 30 million.”
This is his exact words, and it is true in fact. The more population there is, the more land is needed, so it only makes sense to build a subway.
As for the subway, according to future relevant data, subway operations in most cities are in a state of loss, and only 4 cities have achieved break-even. It is very difficult to recover operating costs. Therefore, knowing that this is the case,
It is difficult to make money simply by selling subway tickets, and it is almost always a loss. Why are major cities rushing to build subways?
The cost of building subways is high, and they do not expect to make profits from it. The major cities rushing to build subways mainly value the subway's ability to promote economic growth. The construction of subways in cities has certain social security functions and public facilities attributes, and is driving economic growth.
Infrastructure investment can also bring more jobs to the society and promote economic growth. In addition, the construction of the subway is more important to the promotion of the regional economy along the subway after the completion of the subway, especially the increase in housing prices near the area. As the saying goes
This is the truth of "when the subway rings, there is a thousand taels of gold".
Dai Zhou listened to Li Min's words.
You seem to have been persuaded. You are here to seek help today, right?
So, he said: "I will go back and discuss it with Your Majesty."
At this point, he is 50% sure, but Li Min is not in a hurry.
Anyway, if you repair it, I will have money. If you don’t repair it, I won’t be short of money. I can make money in other ways!
It depends on your choice.
Of course, repairing it is the best, and it will in turn make Shengtang Group better. Because transportation is also extremely important to you! This is what the saying goes that if you want to get rich, build roads first!
Of course, it would be best if it can be repaired.
Then, he said: "I'm here to give you a suggestion! It can help you succeed!"
"Sir, please speak!"
"You said that when you went back to discuss, you directly raised the cost to 20 billion. Then you extended the negotiation period. Finally, you told the emperor that the deal would be finalized at 10 billion. The success rate is extremely high.
This method is a bit risky, but it actually benefits the people.
Okay, now that I’ve said that, it’s up to you what you want to do.”
Li Min understood Li Shimin's character very well.
He knew that if Dai Zhou went back and told Li Shimin that taking the subway would cost 10 billion yuan, Li Shimin would definitely ask him to negotiate a price.
But if we say 20 billion first, then lower the price to 10 billion later.
Then maybe he will agree.
In order to get Li Shimin to agree faster.
Li Min added: "By the way, I will draw a picture for you here. You will understand how big the radiation surface of the subway to be photographed is."
I didn't think there was such an operation, maybe you can give it a try!
"Thank you sir!"
So Li Min picked up a map from the table, which contained detailed maps of various locations. These maps are updated every period of time! Because Chang'an is always changing!
He picked up a pen and drew four lines.
One vertical and one horizontal, plus two rings.
These four lines cover the entire main urban area of Chang'an.
At that time, the ground will be equipped with some rail transit.
The transportation cost is extremely low.
Once transportation improves, the economy will naturally see a huge improvement, because people spend less time on the road and the relative distances become smaller.
Doing business is more efficient.
The four lines were drawn quickly.
"Okay, take this back. If you don't understand, ask me again."
Dai Zhou picked up the map and just looked at it, feeling more and more surprised.
It turns out that Li Min sent that vertical line directly around the Daming Palace.
In other words, if Li Shimin wants to travel and take the subway, he can directly get off the Daming Palace and go directly to the subway entrance. That is very convenient.
Based on this alone, Li Shimin will definitely be tempted, and of course there are some benefits of the subway. Li Min also told Dai Zhou and asked him to go back and talk to Li Shimin.
"Yes, sir, let me go first!"
After Dai Zhou finished speaking, he left the tenement building.
