After a few days of leisure, Yue Xi felt that everything in Jade Town was almost settled. I heard that the gifts prepared for Uncle Situ had also arrived. On this day, Yue Xi ran to the new mansion to take a look.
, Liuzi did a great job indeed. The exterior of the house has been renovated, with white walls, blue bricks and black tiles. There are two stone lions in front of the door. The door is open. When Yuexi was young, she often sneaked away with Ayong and Ajie.
Playing in a wealthy area far away from home, throwing rocks into big houses, waiting for the evil servants to rush out, the group of children then disperse in a hurry, enjoying themselves endlessly.
Now he actually owns such a house, where he can come in and out openly, and no one can chase him away. Walking inside, bypassing the stone screen is a large open space. Since the whole house is close to the World Tree area, the overall
It is in the shape of a slope. The designer cleverly borrowed the ladder structure to place the seven courtyards on five different levels. They used gentle slope crosswalks to minimize the number of steps, so that you have to walk from the first courtyard to the last one.
It takes a winding S-shaped path, and the designer also designed several elegant plant landscapes at different locations on the path, making the overall structure of the courtyard look both grand and elegant as a northern courtyard and as elegant as a southern garden.
On the left side of the courtyard is a high and fast step covered bridge, which allows people to quickly lead to each courtyard. On the edge of the covered bridge is the garden of the house. There are small pools at the top and bottom, and an artificial stream in the middle of the corridor.
There is a winding flow under the bridge, and there is a beautiful large garden composed of rockeries, strange rocks, pavilions, and various plants. Yuexi looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but admire how rich people really know how to enjoy it.
There were newly purchased furniture placed in the open space of the yard. Several newly hired servants were busy decorating the rooms, and Liuzi was giving instructions. Seeing Yuexi coming, he rushed to greet her and said with a smile: "Here he comes, Brother Yue."
, let’s see how it goes, it’s already quite presentable. I’ve completely decorated the inner house at the back. I’ve prepared the rooms for the old lady and sister-in-law Ziyue. I’ve also scouted out several of the personal maids you mentioned.
, let the old woman choose what she likes. What do you think? I am working on the rooms and halls of the brothers in the outer house. The meditation room and the water pressure and gravity simulation room are more time-consuming. I still need to wait, I guess.
After a while, such a mansion requires at least thirty servants. This is just the basic operation. Brother Yue's expenses are quite high."
Yuexi patted Liu Zi and said with a smile: "Liu Zi, you need to change your habit of buckling and searching. Listen to me, from today on, you are responsible for spending money. As for how to make money,
That's a problem between Master Ni and Shopkeeper Chen. Don't worry about it. Hua, lovely flowers, it's okay." Liuzi was still a little worried, and Yue Xi actually understood. Even so, Liuzi would still calculate and not spend money randomly.
Yes, there is no way. They were all born in poverty, and their lives have only become better in the past few years. How could they change so quickly?
Yue Xi asked again: "By the way, where is the chair I asked you to collect in Weichang Village?"
"Oh, brother, it has been placed in the shop. When I went to collect it, I gave the old lady two star beads. The old lady was very happy. Brother, is that broken chair really worth so much money?"
"Haha, broken chair, it's not broken, right? You know the price of the broken chair you mentioned in Wangjing."
"Of course it's not broken. I wrapped it in a thick blanket and wiped it clean. Is it valuable?" Liuzi was a little curious.
Yue Xi said with certainty: "Yes, it is very valuable. This is the style from the Minghui period of the previous dynasty. It is rare to survive. However, it also depends on the maintenance and the specific model. The most important thing is that Uncle Situ has a
It is very rare to find a pair of chairs that are exactly the same as the one I asked you to collect. I have made some inquiries and found that a pair of good-quality Nanguanmao chairs like this can cost at least ten triangles.
Let’s start bidding on the star crystals. The key is that there is a price but no market. This is considered an antique, and this craze has just started, and the price is still going up.”
"It's weird, honey. Brother Yue, it seems that there are still such furniture in the countryside. Many of them were dismantled by local farmers and thrown away as scrap. How much does it cost?" Liuzi felt pain in his heart as he thought about it.
"Yes, if you have the chance to meet him, buy it as much as possible. It can be regarded as an investment." Yue Xi is still quite indifferent. After all, he is not an antique dealer and will not deliberately do such a business. The antique shop is very deep.
, which ones are popular and which ones will increase in value, he doesn’t understand it as a layman, and he’s not very interested. After all, it’s to give Situ Ming a gift.
It only took Fei Zhouzhang to build such a chair, which is considered a blessing. I hope my uncle likes it.
"Liuzi, please invite shopkeeper Chen and Master Ni to the shop tonight. I want to talk to them about the next development plan. Also, since the inner house is ready, go and bring my mother back as soon as possible.
I'll leave this matter to you. I'll leave for Wangjing tomorrow. I may need to stay there for a while. When I come back, the barrier tree seeds will also be shipped here. We will send the second batch of large troops there as soon as possible. You can prepare.
, this time there will be a larger number of people, and a lot of funds will be needed, which is the main reason why we came to them tonight."
Liuzi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
In the reception room of Dabasir Mansion, Liu Yuexi sat on a leather chair and looked at Gu Jiao comfortably, and finally couldn't help but say
"I said, Sir, is it necessary to spend so much time? I have seen many people who work hard to raise their children. Why must you not let Xiao Ni know about it? I think if Xiao Ni knows that you have such good intentions, he will be very happy.
Happy."
Gu Jia'ao was writing some documents. He raised his head and said, "Liu Yuexi, we have an agreement. You must not tell my son the things I helped you with. If you can't control your mouth, I promise that you will
You can’t get any help from me.”
Yuexi said hurriedly: "Mr. Gujiao, please don't take it seriously. I will only tell you here. I promise that no one will tell anyone outside. I promise, and thank you for the green agent and armored wall you provided. If
Without two good things, I will definitely not be able to defeat the mercenary group. Thanks."
"You don't have to thank me. It's just your luck. I got these armored walls from a subordinate who couldn't pay the price. The origin is a bit unclear. Don't show it when the time comes. I don't recognize anything that happened."
Yes. These are all foreign objects. They are all due to your own abilities. I heard about that battle and it was a beautiful fight. I admit that maybe I did make a mistake." Gu Gao was sincere.
It was rare to hear this mean senior praise her, and Yuexi felt a little swollen.
Gu Jiao threw the prepared documents to Yue Xi and said: "This is the next step of financing plan I will make for you. Let Xiao Ni help you with the details. He understands all this. Just say it's you."
That Uncle Situ gave it to you, you shouldn't doubt it. Well, this is the last time I'm going to help you, I'm going back to West Asia City."
"If you really want to leave, what will you do? Your Dabasil family's way of training successors is really weird."
Yue Xi, who knew a little about the inside story, continued to ask.
Gugao looked at him and said coldly: "If you don't want to die early, don't talk about the Dabasil family. I'm just a member of the branch. I have to go when the family calls. I'll leave it to you, Xiao Ni."
"I regard Xiao Ni as my younger brother. This is true. Don't worry." Yue Xi said sincerely.
Gu Jiao's rare tenderness said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you. Maybe there is something wrong with the way I educate him. He seems to be able to find some family feeling with you."
"You rich people really have nothing to say about father and son." Yue Xi really hoped that their father and son could have a better relationship.
Gu Jia'ao returned to his usual coldness, "What do you know? If Xiao Ni wants to fight for the position of the clan in the future, he must be ruthless and strong enough, or he will die. Liu Yuexi, let me give you one last piece of advice.
, even though you are on the Situ Ming line and seem to be in the upper class, I can say with certainty that if you can't squeeze in, you won't be willing to squeeze in. Don't waste too much energy on it.
, developing your enclave well is your only way. Just take care of yourself and get out."
Yue Xi knew Gu Jiao's temper, so she stood up and prepared to leave. When she reached the door, she turned around and said, "Thank you for the reminder. Can we meet again?"
Gugao raised his head, looked at Yuexi, and said slowly: "Maybe, we will meet when you grow up to be important enough. The Dabasil family only does business with the strong ones at the top of the food chain.
"
In the evening, Liujia Shop, shopkeepers Ni Jiaao and Chen all came, and everyone gathered together. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Yuexi started the conversation first: "Uncle Chen, how about the initial fundraising for our enclave construction? Can you please help me?"
able to achieve our expected target numbers.”
Shopkeeper Chen said: "Yuexi, where is the Chamber of Commerce
Now that the control over us has been relaxed, Master Ni and I have made a careful calculation, and we can barely get 10,000 star beads. The early development is barely enough, but it's just Yuexi. We can only go out but not in.
And I heard from Liuzi that the cost will increase later. Once the barrier tree is planted, it will be a question of survival, followed by patrolling the tree's veins. Good guy, this is an eye-opener for me. It turns out that the early maintenance and planting of barrier trees
It's really just smashing star beads into the soil. It's really a pile of money. I asked someone to go to Wangjing to find a knowledgeable master to inquire about it. I got at least three thousand star beads, plus the ones that patrol the tree veins.
Regarding the expenses, although Blind Man Li has been very sincere and willing to advance half of the funds, we still have to pay the remaining expenses in installments. It is impossible for the enclave to make money in the short term. Emerald Town is not big, and we are deeply in debt.
It can't be hidden. Under such circumstances, big merchants will not lend us money anymore. Even if they are willing, the interest and repayment terms are not much different from loan sharks. We have to think of other ways.
.”
After hearing this, Yuexi said: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, there are still ways. This time I went to Wangjing, and I gained some knowledge. I was really a frog in the well before. I thought the heaviest reward for winning the enclave competition was
Now it seems that we were all wrong about those physical prizes. Compared with the rights and preferential policies that I can have after obtaining the qualification of enclave lord, these rewards are really not worth mentioning. As long as I wait for the barrier tree to live,
I already have the naming rights of the enclave and partial autonomy rights of the lord. It will be even more exaggerated when we set up a town in the future. Uncle Situ provided me with relevant policy information, one of which can solve our current financial difficulties."
Shopkeeper Chen was very curious after hearing this, "Oh, what kind of rights are they?"
"The right to issue development bonds, and they are long-term bonds of more than five years. The conditions are very favorable, and no high qualifications are required. Small banks like Chunya Gold Shop are qualified. All they need to do is go to the Wangjing Securities and Exchange Center to register.
It can be issued. Of course, there is a limit on the number of issuances, but even if there are restrictions, it is enough. We can issue five-year bonds worth 500,000 star beads. Uncle Chen feels that there is still pressure on funds." Yue Xi said.
"This is great, enough, enough. It turns out that it can still be done like this. I think my employer will definitely agree with your plan Yuexi. I will go back and discuss it with my employer and try to go to Wangjing as soon as possible to complete the filing.
Already."
"Uncle Chen, don't be anxious, don't be busy. Master Ni knows this matter better than you and I. At first, I didn't quite understand what bonds meant. It was only after Master Ni explained it to me in detail that I understood. When the time comes, you can
I will go to Wangjing with Master Ni to handle this matter. Do you think it will work?" Yue Xi made her intention clear.
Shopkeeper Chen laughed loudly and said: "Yue Xi, you are afraid that I can't accommodate Master Ni, right? Don't worry, I watched you grow up, and I am old too. Now you have achieved a big business like Enclave."
Chance, to be honest, I really don’t know how to help you. Besides, I am just the shopkeeper of Chunya Gold Shop. I am not the boss after all. I don’t know how far I can help you. Master Ni is young, and
He comes from a big place and is well-informed. He will definitely be your young man’s world in the future. If he can step in, I’ll be happy before it’s too late. How can I not tolerate him? Don’t worry, Yuexi. Then I will have to ask Master Ni for help.
consult."
Master Ni cupped his hands and said: "Shopkeeper Chen is serious. Let's all work together. You are the senior. There are many things I need to ask you for advice first."
"Okay, let's settle it like this. Okay, I don't understand the money thing, and I'm confused by it. Let you experts study it. I'll leave and do other things. You two, I'm just here.
Please. I will go to Wangjing tomorrow first. I think I will be able to transport the enchantment tree back in less than half a month. I hope everyone will be ready by then. Once the enchantment tree is transported back, there will be a lot to do.
Shopkeeper Chen, you will contribute the money, and my brothers and I will contribute our efforts. Let’s do something big and make money together.”
"Yes, let's do something big." Everyone was so ambitious and happy, but no one expected that another conspiracy was waiting for him.
