Zhou Qingfeng was very alert to Phil's little tricks. He has always been known as a "merciful" person. This person brought a lot of fame and benefits to the bottom of society, but the price was to share more benefits.
The long-legged family is not willing to sell their property, but once discovered, it is easy to crack such tricks. Zhou Qingfeng found the 'rebellious' powerful people represented by Old Arad, as well as several chiefs of the wizard group, and expressed his desire for 'interests'
All dipped'.
To make things clear, Long Legs split up and sold the combined assets. This is an attempt to drive a wedge between our alliances. I will never be fooled.
When Phils Long Legs gave most of his valuable family property to Victor Hugo, Old Arad and others, their faces were already livid. But when they heard Zhou Qingfeng shouting "all benefits", they calmed down a little.
.
In the hall of the Arcane Research Society, Zhou Qingfeng called all his 'allies' over. The properties sold by the Long Legs family were compiled into a book and listed one by one on the table.
"Friends, I, Victor Hugo, am the most loyal person. We all work together, and whoever dares to take advantage will be the first to behead him." Zhou Qingfeng faced the "rebellious" and chieftains of Cold Wind City with awe-inspiring righteousness.
, which is very impressive.
Because of the fight with the long-legged family, one of Old Arad's sons died. If Zhou Qingfeng hadn't been well-connected and quick to spot opportunities, the old guy might have secretly contacted him again and started fighting again, treating him as a shameless person.
Looking at the account books laid out by Zhou Qingfeng, it was indeed the property sold by the Long Legs family. The chiefs of the wizard group also calmed down. Rao, the chief of the energy shaping group, asked: "Your Excellency Hugo, how do you want to share the benefits?"
"It's very simple. We will never fall into the tricks of the long-legged family. You must be very interested in these. You can choose as you like. I bought them for how much I paid for them and how many gold coins I sold them for. You can rest assured that there are absolutely no middlemen making the difference."
Zhou Qingfeng was so confident in his words that he almost had to use his own head to guarantee it. Only Jason huddled among the wizards. As soon as he heard Victor Hugo's voice rising in pitch, he subconsciously covered his wallet.
Everyone gathered around and picked through the account books. They soon discovered that what Zhou Qingfeng was selling was all real estate, especially the shops in the city and the mines outside the city.
These are all fat meats. If it were other nobles, they would never spit out the food they put into their mouths easily, let alone take the initiative. But Zhou Qingfeng not only vomited, he also vomited it thoroughly.
Old Arad took a casual look and immediately targeted a few wharves, farms and lumberyards occupied by long-legged families all year round. These are very good boutique industries that can bring extremely stable profits.
Due to the low communication and transportation capabilities and poor technical level in other worlds, the output of a piece of land or an industry will not be very large. Each family will have a large number of heirs. If the family property is divided too thinly, the family power will decline rapidly.
The solution to this problem is 'primogeniture inheritance'. But there is another way behind it, which is to buy more properties. The more properties there are, the stronger the family will naturally be and can support more and stronger forces.
If it hadn't been for this fight, this kind of property that could stabilize a family's power would never have been sold. The 'rebellious' dignitaries all smiled, feeling that Zhou Qingfeng was really sensible and had no intention of monopolizing it.
The account books also indicate the prices of all properties, which are 10% or 20% of the normal selling prices. This is indeed no price increase. Zhou Qingfeng really did not make any profit from the price difference, and everyone was very happy.
Old Arad used his finger to draw a line on the account book on the spot, "I want these properties."
Wilson followed Zhou Qingfeng, holding a quill in his hand. Wherever Old Allard's finger drew, he would register accordingly behind him.
After selecting a dozen real estate properties including shops and farms, Old Arad was satisfied and gave up his seat at the table for others to choose from. These properties could already make up for the loss of one of his sons.
With Old Arad taking the lead, and according to their usual status and power, Zhou Qingfeng's 'friends' came forward one by one to select their favorite pieces of meat. Everyone was laughing and joking, like a group of robbers dividing their spoils.
It’s just that there are too many monks and too little food. Although the account books are thick, there are more ‘rebellious’ people who come to share the spoils. Halfway through, there is no point left. The latecomers are all little knights and wizards in the city. They find that they have nothing, and they become restless again.
"Don't worry, this is just the property that the Long Legs family sold off today, and they will still have it tomorrow. Please believe me, everyone is my friend, and they will definitely gain something. Maybe the things sold tomorrow will be better."
Zhou Qingfeng comforted him, and the many 'rebels' didn't notice anything was wrong. After all, the big fat meat had been divided, and Victor Hugo wouldn't be reluctant to part with some leftover soup.
At most, some people might wonder in their hearts - Why did Victor Hugo sell only real estate? Not a single consumable material such as grain and cloth was seen.
After defeating several major forces, Zhou Qingfeng revealed his true intentions, "Fiers Longlegs left thousands of his slaves to me. I couldn't bear to have these people displaced, but I couldn't afford to resettle them.
Can you all temporarily rent to me the properties and farms that Phils gave you, and buy me some food rations, so that those poor slaves can have a place to live. When my own manor is built, I will
Take away all the people."
All the fat has been eaten, and Zhou Qingfeng has spent money to rent and buy. Old Arad and others have no reason to refuse. They are already satisfied and don't care to continue doing business.
The hidden dangers of giving away slaves and separating industries were eliminated.
After everyone left with satisfaction, Zhou Qingfeng immediately sent Wilson out to go door-to-door with the account books to complete the transaction - your master said that he bought a certain store in the city for only 10% off the price.
Expired transactions will be invalid. Please pay quickly.
Before Wilson left, Zhou Qingfeng specifically said, "Remember, if possible, don't accept the platinum coins we send out and ask those gentlemen for gold coins."
Wilson was extremely embarrassed by this, "Master, if we don't accept the platinum coins we send out, there will be no guarantee of credibility. Who dares to ask for these platinum coins in the future? This is too inappropriate."
That’s right!
At that time, Emperor Taizu Zhu Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty issued treasure notes to officials as salaries. But the old man didn't recognize the value of the treasure notes, and only needed copper coins and two silver taels to collect taxes. The pile of treasure notes was like waste paper, and it was hard to wipe his buttocks.
, gods hate ghosts.
Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head and could only nod his head and said: "Okay, it's not too much to eat two fish. We all agree that platinum coins and gold coins are equivalent."
Wilson took the order and left.
Zhou Qingfeng put his hands on his hips, facing the dark night in the direction of the city lord's palace, and said with a smile: "Fiers, you want to do some tricks before you leave. You didn't expect me to be greedy. This is not the profit I am after."
