The Taixue construction site that Su Ren was responsible for already had a prototype, and he could see its general appearance. Su Ren, who came from a later generation, did a good job in publicity. From the very beginning of construction, he had been building momentum for the sale of houses near Taixue.
There are endless sayings about living in Chang'an and having the world at your fingertips; being close to the Imperial Academy and blessing your descendants; living in a small building and having a warm home.
The two model houses have become a must-visit place for wealthy people in Chang'an and even surrounding areas. From facilities to furniture to architectural layout, Su Ren wrote a special commentary and hired several handsome young men to explain to the visitors.
, by the way, I will also talk about the surrounding environment and high-end lifestyle after the completion of Taixue. If there were no beautiful women coming to work, Su Ren would definitely get a few sales girls to put them here.
As the New Year approaches, more and more people come to Chang'an City. Whether they are visiting relatives and friends or going home to celebrate the New Year, people with ample money will come to the Taixue construction site. At noon that day, Sima Xiangru was covered in fat
I came back sweating, and as soon as I walked in, I held the teapot and took a deep drink.
Su Ren chuckled and said, "Brother Sima, who is usually so polite, why is he so careless about his image today?"
After drinking the water, Sima Xiangru breathed a sigh of relief: "There are so many people that the model house is about to be demolished. We will have to queue up in a few days, otherwise we won't be able to squeeze in the two small rooms!"
"Oh? It seems business is booming? This is a good thing!"
Sima Xiangru smiled helplessly: "What a good thing, the more you see, the less you buy. In the past half month, there are not ten people who have made reservations, and they are all buying shops. Not a single one of those houses has been sold!"
Su Ren frowned: "No way! Why are there so few? There is a discount for early purchase, didn't you tell me?"
"I've said it, how can I not say it, but no one buys it! Although the house is good, it is too small. Look around Chang'an. Not to mention the ones in the distance, it's Dongxin Street where we live. There are three courtyards there.
It’s just over a thousand dollars, and the place near Taixue is not a good place, but a small house costs fifty thousand, and anyone with a sound head would probably not buy it!”
Su Ren scratched his head. He had good intentions in developing real estate in Chang'an, but he ignored the current situation in Chang'an. People in later generations generally lived in small areas, with more people and less land. After the houses were developed, there would immediately be competition to buy them.
Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was different. It can be said that half of the huge Chang'an City was occupied by the emperor's family, and the rest belonged to the powerful. These people had fewer people and more houses, and had no rigid needs at all. They could still afford a house.
, the common people who can't afford it all live outside the city. Let alone a small second-story house worth 50,000 yuan, they may not be able to afford even 500 yuan.
"What can Brother Sima do?"
"Reducing the price! You should be able to sell some of each building for ten thousand yuan!"
"Ten thousand dollars? You can't even recover the cost!" Su Ren shook his head like a rattle: "If the rich and powerful don't buy it, there will always be merchants, right?"
Sima Xiangru smiled: "Can you buy such a house? You are also a merchant, and your family fortune is huge. Our house has no yard and no warehouse. It is just a house for people to live in. Merchants do not have such a house even more."
interest!"
At this time, Su Ren realized that he had taken it for granted. Although the real estate advertisements of later generations were well done, they were only suitable for later generations. The big man has the special characteristics of the big man. Any successful business model cannot be copied in different circumstances.
. Scratching his head, Su Ren looked helpless. To apply that classic quotation, imagination is full, but reality is too skinny!
"Damn it! If no one buys it, I will give it away!" Su Ren slapped the table and said very fiercely.
Sima Xiangru looked at Su Ren: "To whom?"
"Give it to anyone who has money!"
"How to send it off?"
Su Ren did not answer, closed his eyes and frowned. After a long time, he said: "According to the list of donations for the construction of the Imperial College, call all those who donated to the Imperial College, and say that His Majesty wanted to thank them for their donation.
Taixue, each family will be given a house, and there are only so many houses on a first-come, first-served basis!"
"Why should we give it to those people? If we want to give it to people, wouldn't it be better to give it to the homeless outside the city?"
"No reason? Just because they gave me money!"
Although Sima Xiangru had no choice but to do as Su Ren said, he went door to door and sent out invitations. He got accurate information and compiled it and gave it to Su Ren. Su Ren admired Sima Xiangru's rigor. He only said:
After getting a general idea, there was no plan on how to operate it, so Sima Xiangru added everything one by one.
Three days before the end of the New Year, Chang'an City has been decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the rich and powerful families are even more lively for the New Year. The Taixue construction site is also very lively. Carriages and carriages pass through the streets and alleys and arrive in front of the Taixue construction site.
Under the guidance of several servants, the carriage was parked in the temporarily opened parking lot. Then the guests inside were invited to come out and step into the prepared model house.
To sell, you need a corresponding buyer. To send, there are not so many rules and regulations. Before noon, hundreds of people had gathered in the model house. These people were all powerful people in Chang'an City, big and small, and they met and greeted each other.
, it was all very enjoyable. As a New Year's gift, although I don't like this small house, it is better than nothing. Otherwise, if I donated tens of thousands of dollars and got nothing, I would naturally feel uncomfortable.
There was no neat furniture in today's model house. There was a huge table in the lobby. It was covered tightly with a piece of red cloth. Many people began to guess, but no one guessed it correctly.
Just after noon, Su Ren took Sima Xiangru, Cui Chengru and Dong Zhongshu, and the Wen Dang entered the model house. Su Ren was now a celebrity around the emperor, which immediately caused a commotion, whether it was powerful or powerless.
Everyone came up to say hello one after another, and each one called Su Yilang very affectionately. Su Ren also refused to refuse, and could say hello to everyone, which made the atmosphere even better.
"Everyone, the construction of the Imperial College is your Majesty's wish, and it has been approved by the Empress Dowager. Although I have personally promised that your Majesty will not spend a single penny, it is not something that a small businessman like me can complete to build such a big project. Fortunately, you can donate your money.
I am very grateful for your help. I reported your contributions to Your Majesty a few days ago. His Majesty praised you very much and specifically issued an order for me to donate the houses built around the Imperial Academy to you as a reward."
"Come on! Open it!"
A sand table is a place you can recognize at a glance. It is full of lights and flowers. There are houses, streets, and even a gurgling river. The branches are trees, the soil is the road, and it is a miniature house built with wood.
Hidden in a piece of green. Taixue occupies the center of the entire sand table. There are various houses on the left and right, including two-story buildings and compact low houses. Such impact amazed the powerful.
.
Ji Yinhou shook his beard: "Is this the Imperial Academy?"
Su Ren smiled: "Ji Yinhou has good eyesight. Yes, it is the Imperial Academy. It is still under construction. In order to give you an intuitive impression, I asked someone to make such a thing so that you can see it more clearly."
"Green mountains and green waters, I thought they were only found outside the city, but I didn't expect to see them in Chang'an City!" The doctor said with emotion: "If I had known this was the case, I would have bought one for my second son!"
"Hahaha!" Su Ren laughed a few times: "There is no need to buy it now. I will give you one as a gift by His Majesty's order!"
The middle doctor immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the north: "I am a humble minister, thank you for your great kindness!"
Su Ren personally helped Dr. Zhong up and said, "Sir, you have donated your family property to your Majesty to build the Imperial Academy. Your Majesty will remember your kindness. It will not be too late for Dr. Zhong to thank you in person in the morning tomorrow morning!"
The middle doctor nodded repeatedly: "Su Yilang is right, you are right. I will thank your majesty tomorrow!"
The clever ones have already begun to search for a house suitable for themselves, mentally thinking about how to get it. Wu'anhou Tianfan has the sharpest eyes, and he spotted a two-story building in the southwest corner at a glance. He just bought one recently.
It's not easy to take a singing prostitute home. I was looking for a house in Chang'an City. Unexpectedly, Su Ren came to my door like this. Naturally, I couldn't miss it.
Seeing the strange symbols on the miniature house, Tian Fu asked: "What is that on the house?"
Su Ren took a look and said: "Marquis Wu'an is indeed a smart man. What is above is the house number. Remember the house number that you are interested in, and go to Sima Xiangru to report it. If no one has reported it, then this building
The house is yours!"
"Okay!" Everyone roared and immediately surrounded Sima Xiangru. Looking at this group of guys who were like flies smelling shit, Su Ren waved his hands: "Everyone, please be quiet. There are plenty of buildings. No need to fight.
There is no need to rush. There are several characteristics of this house inspection. Firstly, look at the orientation. Secondly, look at the neighbors. It is also a good thing if there are several neighboring households with the same interests. It is also convenient for everyone to move around. What is the orientation? Not to mention, facing south and facing north is absolutely perfect.
It can't be possible. The southeast and northwest are the best. Light and ventilation must be taken into consideration. This house must be inhabited by people. All aspects must be considered before making a decision before it's too late."
Everyone nodded, and some people returned to the sand table to choose again. Sima Xiangru asked someone to bring a large piece of wood. The corresponding house number had been written on it, and the name of the person he was interested in was mainly filled in the box below.
The impatient ones have already started to sign up, and one after another, many dignitaries have found suitable houses for themselves. Before leaving, they did not forget to thank Su Ren and the emperor for their kindness.
Su Ren personally sent those people to the door and promised one by one that there would be no problems with the houses he built. When the houses were handed over, if any problems were found, he would be responsible for repairs. This was even more highly praised by the powerful.
From noon until the afternoon, the dignitaries who came today all found the houses they liked. There were disputes during this period. If it were not for the sake of the emperor's reward, there would be people who took action. In short, this is a good one
During the house viewing party, everyone got what they liked, and everyone got the so-called emperor's reward.
Tired and with backache, Sima Xiangru sat down: "Oh! These people, how can they fight for nothing without spending money? Are more than a hundred buildings lost like this?"
Wen Dang looked at Su Ren with a smile and said: "Zi Heng did a good job this time and protected His Majesty. I am very pleased."
Dong Zhongshu also glanced at Su Ren: "Who knows what this kid's big ideas are, just listen to what he has to say."
Su Ren chuckled: "Mr. Dong has clearly seen through it. Let people let people know tomorrow that our houses will only be sold to those with status and status, and each house will be sold for 200,000 yuan."
!”
"Ah! So many! Does anyone else want to buy it?" (To be continued)
