After entering the back room, there were several people here who were settling accounts. Li Xiang could name these people. Each of them interacted with fifteen people outside, and they were considered middle-level cadres.
"I have met His Highness."
After Zhou Huairen saw Li Xiang, he was very excited. Although he had reported work to His Highness the Crown Prince for a while, it was Li Xiang who changed his destiny. Who is his boss? Zhou Huairen saw it very clearly.
Li Xiang looked at Li Chengqian in the back room. Li Chengqian was very busy at the moment, so Li Xiang stopped disturbing him. Li Xiang saw that Li Chengqian liked money, so he gave him this job. He looked at the banknotes at home every day.
The treasury is full, which is what Li Chengqian is most satisfied with, not to mention that he is indeed talented in calculating accounts.
"We have done well during this period, various industries have developed well, and the benefits obtained are also good. The main task in the next stage is to grow food."
When Li Xiang said this, Zhou Huairen seemed to have not heard clearly and deliberately picked his ears. We have invested so much money in business, shouldn't we continue to develop it? How can we transfer it to food?
What's more, there isn't much profit from growing food these days. Compared with real business operations, the money is really too little.
"Your Highness, our business operations have already reached a certain scale. At this time, we should continue to expand and grow food..."
Zhou Huairen wanted to say that growing grain is a trivial matter, and the profit obtained is not enough, so there is no need to waste time on this matter, but seeing the look in Li Xiang's eyes, he swallowed the words again and thought about it.
Li Xiang's miraculous business achievements are definitely beyond the comprehension of his level.
"Food is the foundation of the country. Currently, a large amount of land is in the hands of the five surnames and Qi Wang. Therefore, if we want to fundamentally reverse this situation, we must have a large amount of grain-producing land. When I go to the southwest
Didn't you buy enough land in the days of 1999? Are you going to let them sit idle?"
Li Xiang actually knew how to defeat these big families for a long time, but he never had a proper plan. Now that he finally has some free time, he should put this plan on the agenda.
"Your Highness does not need to personally handle the matter of growing food. Every farm has its own farm owner. We can completely entrust it to them. The main focus is still on our commercial complex. Although it is currently only open for business
I have visited more than a dozen companies, but I am definitely making money every day.”
Zhou Huairen quickly took out an account book. In fact, Li Xiang was referring to Wanda in the 21st century. They built a commercial center in the center of each city. Now Li Xiang has also moved to Datang, where he can eat and stay.
, there is even a place to drink flower wine. In short, after you come here, you can basically do everything. Although there is no way to build a commercial building in this era, you can buy a piece of land and build a commercial street behind it.
.
It has now been put into operation in more than a dozen major cities across the country. In addition to the rent we get every day, the most important thing is the increase in surrounding land prices. Li Xiang knows the importance of real estate, so when building this commercial complex,
I bought all the surrounding land, and now it has risen several times.
"A commercial complex must rely on a large population. At present, all major cities in the country have opened, and the remaining cities do not have the conditions to open. If we continue to explore, we may have to start our own business.
Lost money."
Li Xiang's words also attracted Zhou Huairen's attention. In fact, Zhou Huairen had already felt that in the last two projects, they could still maintain profitability in state-level cities, but in the last two cities, their profits
The range has dropped significantly. The most important thing is that the local economy is not prosperous enough. If we continue to expand in other cities, it may not be as good as the last two cities, and we may face losses by then.
"Your Highness gave those poor areas to them?"
Zhou Huairen immediately understood that this kind of commercial complex must be opened in economically developed places. If it also exists in economically underdeveloped places, then just wait for losses. After all, the initial investment is not a small amount, plus the respective
A lot of energy and money have been invested in business operations. Since the major families are jealous of this, Li Xiang is ready to give it to them.
"You are a smart man. We will not expand for the time being, and then let them expand the remaining cities. When they can no longer operate, you will come forward. The commercial complex originally worth one hundred taels, you can sell it for five
If we buy it for ten taels of silver, maybe when they encounter an economic crisis, they will be willing to sell it for thirty taels of silver. Our costs will be reduced several times. No matter what the business is like, one-third of the cost will be enough.
Earn it back."
When Li Xiang explained this, Zhou Huairen was so happy that he almost jumped up. No wonder our Highness is not planning to continue to expand. Recently, his people have also received news. Several big families have begun to learn from it.
That's it, commercial complexes will be built in some cities on their territory, and local officials have been notified to prevent Zhou Huairen's people from entering.
At that time, Zhou Huairen still felt that his path was difficult. If the local magistrate blocked him in the future, although we also have an official background, we would never be able to catch up with these big families in the local government. I don’t know how to explain to His Highness.
, I finally understand now that Your Highness has created a dead end for you.
"Of course restaurants and accommodations can continue to operate. It is still possible to operate such things that the people really need. In addition, they also need to collect information for me across the country. Even if it is not profitable for the time being, we will allocate money here.
Make it up for them."
Li Xiang has long wanted to establish a nationwide information network, and opening a store is the best way. However, it has only developed into big cities and has not yet penetrated into small cities.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have arranged for my people to do it. Is it just farming?"
Zhou Huairen could understand other things, but he didn't understand what Li Xiang said about farming. How did Li Xiang want to farm?
