Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 664, Shanxi Merchants (additional meals, [-]-character chapter)

In Liu Jin's mansion in the capital city, in the study room, Liu Jin, who just came back from the outside in the afternoon, sat with a blank expression on his face. Beside Liu Jin, Chen Ou, the steward of the capital real estate, was reporting to Liu Jin in detail about the recent situation in the capital city. real estate development.

"My lord, real estate sales in the capital are booming recently, prices continue to rise, and sales continue to be booming."

"Jingcheng Real Estate currently has a total of [-] communities around Beijing, all of which have been sold out, and there are currently nine communities that have been put into use."

"Next, we plan to open [-] more properties in various parts of the capital. It is estimated that the total sales this year will exceed [-] million taels of silver, and the realized profit will exceed [-] million taels of silver."

Chen Ou looked at Liu Jin with a stern face, and thought that he had done something wrong, so he also carefully reported to Liu Jin about the capital real estate he was in charge of.

Capital Real Estate, Tianjin Real Estate, and Songhu Real Estate are the three largest real estate companies under Liu Jin's command. Among them, Jingcheng Real Estate and Tianjin Real Estate are already very large in scale, and they are almost household names in the capital.

The properties opened by Tianjin Real Estate and Jingcheng Real Estate can be seen everywhere around Tianjin and Beijing. Everyone has always trusted the properties under Liu Jin's command. Every time a real estate is launched, it is basically sold out.

If it weren't for the long construction period of the house and the need for a lot of manpower to build it, these real estate companies would like to build buildings around the capital and Tianjin.

In addition to being very large in scale, these real estate companies have one thing in common, that is, they are very profitable.

Not just making money!

The main reason is that Liu Jin holds a large amount of land in his hands. Taking advantage of the famine and lack of development of the land in Tianjin, Liu Jin took millions of taels of silver to buy the land, and almost gave the land in Tianjin to him. Bought out.

As for the land around the capital, the rich and powerful people in the capital also chose to sell land to do sea trade after seeing the huge profits from ocean fishing and ocean trade.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao once again took the opportunity to stockpile land on a large scale. The land they took from Yinggong, Dingguogong, and Chengguogong alone amounted to tens of thousands of hectares, as well as the fields of the two Zhang brothers.

Most of the land around the capital is in Liu Jin's hands.

In Songhu, let alone this, Sun Xin gave a solid lesson to the big landlords, big families, and big gentry in Songhu, and bought almost all the land in Songhu up.

The land in these three places is controlled by Liu Jin, and the purchase price is very cheap, so the profit from real estate is very amazing.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao rely on this alone, and they have countless silver every year.

Even Liu Jin is not in a hurry to develop too many real estate projects, he will take his time and plan bit by bit.

Some land is used to set up factories and workshops. This kind of land is first built with roads, water, and factory buildings, and then rented out. The price is very cheap, mainly to encourage the development of factories and workshops. Attract people to come.

Then, one by one community was slowly built near each factory area and workshop area. Private schools, commercial streets, etc. were all planned neatly.

In the Beijing-Tianjin area, with the development of more and more real estate, there are also more and more shops owned by the subordinates. The rent alone has received soft hands every year.

"Well, don't open too many properties, take your time and plan carefully. The key is to keep up with the supporting facilities."

After listening to Chen Ou's report, Liu Jin also nodded in satisfaction.

Then he thought for a while and asked, "Who developed the Shuxiang Yayuan in the West City?"

"Scholarly Garden?"

As soon as Chen Ou heard it, he thought about it carefully, and quickly said, "Is it that real estate that has been shut down?"

"Yeah, that's it."

Liu Jin nodded and said.

"That real estate is a real estate opened by Xijing Real Estate, which was jointly established by some Shanxi merchants."

"At the beginning, they even invited me to the banquet for the establishment of their Xijing Real Estate."

Chen Ou immediately replied.

"Their real estate, why is it unfinished? Is it because of lack of funds, or because of some other reasons?"

After listening to Liu Jin, he pondered for a while, and it turned out to be a Shanxi merchant.

The Shanxi merchants in history were very powerful. With their backs on the grasslands, they smuggled strategic materials such as grain, ironware, salt, and tea to the grassland people and Jurchens, and quickly made a fortune. The famous eight imperial merchants.

As businessmen, they are very successful.

But as human beings, they are not as good as pigs and dogs.

Doing such a business is nothing more than outright treason. It can be said that the land of China is once again ruled by aliens. Their contribution to the Shanxi merchants is definitely not small, and they will definitely be nailed to the pillar of historical shame.

What's ridiculous is that in later generations, there are still people who come to film this kind of TV to promote how and how powerful they are.

So for Shanxi merchants, Liu Jin didn't have any good impressions.

"How could Jin merchants have no silver? Jin merchants have money houses everywhere, and they have plenty of silver."

"The reason why it's unfinished is because these Shanxi merchants have sold their houses and their money is in their pockets, so they don't plan to build any more. Recently, they have created another Dongcheng real estate, and they are going to make the same scene in Dongcheng. .”

Chen Ou smiled and shook his head and said, to be honest, he has never seen such a shameless person. This real estate pre-sale was made by Liu Jin, but they ruined it all at once.

After collecting other people's money, they stopped building the house just after it was built, and just packed up and left. They changed their name and planned to continue building unfinished buildings on the east side of the city.

"Bang~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but slapped the table fiercely, and his whole body couldn't help burning with anger.

If it is said that there is no way to continue the construction because of insufficient money, this is a bit excusable, but now it is fine, this is entirely what they did on purpose, deliberately taking advantage of the pre-sale.

Liu Jin came up with the pre-sale system of the later generations. This is to allow everyone to operate a larger plate with the least amount of funds. It is definitely not for people to take advantage of this loophole and directly make money from unfinished buildings.

Once this hole is opened, there will be more and more unfinished buildings in the future, how can ordinary people trust you anymore?
How could I come to buy your off-plan house again?

At that time, it will ultimately damage the interests of Liu Jin and other big real estate developers. They don't care about these Shanxi businessmen.

It can be said that he has brought his ingenuity to the extreme!

"It makes no sense~"

"This kind of people will not be destroyed, and they will not go bankrupt, the law of heaven cannot tolerate it!"

Liu Jin was angry, really angry.

These Shanxi merchants are really rat shit. They will do anything to make money. If a good pre-sale system allows them to continue to do so, they will definitely be completely rotten.

At that time, things will get serious, and the trouble will reach the court, and the court will issue an order, and the pre-sale system will never be played again.

Seeing Liu Jin lose his temper, Chen Ou couldn't help being secretly afraid.

He was too aware of the energy possessed by this person in front of him, and he couldn't help but silently mourn for these Shanxi merchants. It was not good to offend anyone, but Liu Jin, who provoked him, was ready to die.

Liu Jin walked up and down, thought for a while and asked, "Are those Shanxi merchants?"

"They still have those industries under their command, let me check them out, and those people behind them are backers, let me check them out too."

"Humph!"

"Real estate is already huge profits. I created the pre-sale system to make money for everyone. Some people insist on thinking they are smart and take advantage of such loopholes. I will let you know that some bottom lines must never be touched. You will have to pay the price.”

"Yes, son~"

Chen Ou nodded immediately when he heard it, then turned around and started to deal with this period.

"Come here~"

When Chen Ou went out, Liu Jin thought for a while and then shouted: "Master~"

Soon a servant came in and shouted respectfully.

"Go and invite the crown prince, Duke Ying, Duke Ding, and Duke Cheng to your residence."

"In addition, in my name, invite Shou Ninghou, Jianchang Bo, Sihai Commercial Bank, Jiangnan Commercial Bank, Jingcheng Caiyun Textile Factory, Huguang Commercial Bank, Huishang Commercial Bank, Beijing-Tianjin General Chamber of Commerce and other powerful commercial firms in the capital area to be in Wangyue Tower Get together here."

"Well, except for Shanxi merchants, don't invite any Shanxi merchants."

Liu Jin thought for a while and spoke one after another.

"Yes, sir~"

As soon as the servant heard it, he immediately started to do it.

"Shanxi Merchants~"

After the people went out, Liu Jin sat on his chair and began to meditate slightly.

To deal with this kind of person, we must be ruthless, and we must also kill chickens and monkeys to set an example, so that no one will dare to do such things in the future.

There are rules and regulations, and rules are also for the common interests of everyone.

Shanxi merchants, people who can even sell their ancestors, are really capable of anything. Since this is the case, they must be cleaned up now, so as to save them from betraying Daming in the future.

With the continuous expansion of Ming Dynasty, the continuous development overseas, and more and more exchanges with various countries, businessmen should have a bottom line of businessmen to make money, and it is absolutely impossible to sell the interests of Ming Dynasty.

But the capital theory of later generations is very good. If there is 20% profit, capital will be active; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; for 100% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws; Without profits, capital dares to commit any crime and do anything.

As long as you have money, there is really nothing these businessmen can't do.

In the future, there will inevitably be merchants who will collude with outsiders to harm Daming's interests. Shanxi merchants are definitely not the first, nor will they be the last. The nature of merchants is like this.

So the rules are very important. There is a country to have a family. Only when Ming Dynasty is strong can businessmen be able to make better money. Some things just cannot be touched, and some bottom lines cannot be touched.

Once someone touches it, he must be made to pay a sufficient price.

"Shanxi Merchants~"

Liu Jin read slightly.

Liu Jin didn't wait too long. After only an hour, Chen Ou came to Liu Jin's mansion again and reported the matter to Liu Jin.

"My lord, I've found out~"

"This matter was mainly done by the five families of Shanxi merchants. These five families are the Fan family, Huang family, Wang family, Liang family and Tian family in Shanxi. The most important ones are the Fan family, Huang family and Wang family. The principals of the family are Fan Hanshi, Wang Wentian, and Huang Liwen."

"The big backers behind the five Shanxi merchants are mainly officials from Shanxi on the capital side. In the past, they were mainly the former Minister of Household Affairs, Zhou Jing."

"In addition to the real estate industry, Shanxi Merchants headed by these five companies have also started classes. Jinshang Bank."

Chen Ou began to report the situation of these Shanxi merchants to Liu Jin in detail.

The strength of Shanxi merchants is very strong. Because they are backed by the grassland, there was a smuggling trade in the past. Now, although the grassland is included in the territory of Ming Dynasty, everyone can go to the grassland to do business. This has dealt a heavy blow to the power of Shanxi merchants.

But Shanxi merchants are also very good at doing business, and they do what they do to make money in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

Cement, textiles, maritime trade, marine fishing, coal industry, banks, as long as they can enter and make money, they are all involved, and now the real estate is the same, but they are too shameless, in order to make money, It is really unscrupulous.

"Jinshang Bank?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help frowning immediately. He didn't expect that someone would open a bank soon.

"My lord, the predecessor of this Jinshang Bank is the Jinshang Bank, which used to be the most powerful and famous time-honored bank in Daming."

"Now I also saw that the Daming First Bank founded by my son is very profitable, so I also changed its name to Jinshang Bank. I heard that they are planning to learn from the Daming First Bank and issue their own bank notes."

Chen Ou hurriedly introduced Liu Jin.

"Issuing your own bank notes?"

"Haha~ It's courting death."

When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help laughing immediately. These Jin merchants are really smart. They suddenly saw the benefits of issuing their own bank notes, and they even wanted to follow the example of Daming First Bank to issue their own bank notes. Obviously I also took a fancy to the huge benefits contained in it.

It’s just that they didn’t know that this is definitely Liu Jin’s restricted area. Liu Jin’s Daming First Bank dared to do this business because it attracted Emperor Hongzhi, the prince, and many military generals. Without their backing, Liu Jin Jin dare to do this business?

The biggest owners behind the Daming First Bank are the emperor and the prince. This is to grab the jobs of the emperor and the prince, and they are absolutely courting death.

"Master, His Royal Highness, Duke Ying, Duke Cheng, and Duke Ding have arrived~"

At this time, several people invited by Liu Jin also arrived at Liu's residence.

"Old Liu~Old Liu~"

Before Zhu Houzhao arrived, he had already opened his throat~
　What do you think should be done?
