"Hey! Lao Jia! Long time no see! Why haven't I seen you at Chunfeng Tower recently?"
"I'm still at Chunfeng Tower. If I keep going like this, I can't afford to eat. How can I still find the time to visit Chunfeng Tower?"
"Boss Jia, who owns more than a dozen properties, says he can't afford to eat, so those of us with only two or three properties are already going to the streets to beg for food?"
"Hahaha, that's right!"
In the private room on the second floor of Feiyun Restaurant, a group of local charterers from the inner city gathered here. Anyone who can be called to attend this party today is not a charterer from at least two or three courtyards at home. It can be said that today The people sitting in this box already own nearly 60% of the land in the inner city.
They are the largest landowners in Yunzhou City besides the government and royal palaces.
Because everything came together about the new city.
Everyone sat down, and the largest box in Feiyun Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Yunzhou City, was full. At a glance, the seventy or eighty people looked over, and they were all rich people wearing gold and silver. This shows that these years of relying on rent collection Everyone is well fed!
At this time, a fat old man sitting in the main seat was named Qian, and his name was Qian Duoduo!
As the name suggests, there isn't much else in the family, just one person with a lot of money.
At the beginning, he was just an ordinary citizen in Yunzhou City. But when Yunzhou City began to prosper, he made a prompt decision and sold his original property to a businessman who took a fancy to the location of his home, thus earning a fortune. A pot of gold.
After he had the first pot of funds, he used the first pot of gold to buy homes in other remote places, thus successfully expanding his properties to five!
With the second expansion of Yunzhou City, the places he originally purchased that were in remote areas gradually entered the business circle.
He returned to his old business again and sold the properties in his hands at a high price.
With more funds, he expanded his properties to thirty properties again!
Relying on this method, his assets continued to double during the previous expansions of Yunzhou City.
In the end, after others saw the benefits, he also realized that Yunzhou City's capacity had reached its limit, so he stopped selling the properties in his hands and became a renter.
Today, he owns more than 60 properties spread throughout the inner and outer cities, and more than 30 shops on Sifang Street to collect rent.
It can be said that the rent for a house in the inner city is 50 taels a month, and the rent for a house in the outer city decreases in descending order. These more than 60 properties alone can bring him a net income of more than 200 taels a month, which is just a small amount. .
What he really makes money from are the more than 30 shops on Sifang Street.
These more than thirty shops can bring him an income of thousands of taels of silver every month. Ten thousand taels of silver in a year is easy.
As the housing prices in Yunzhou City continue to increase, his income is also increasing year by year.
But now that the two new cities are opening, he will see his income plummet. How can he bear this? As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity. He is used to an income of thousands of taels of silver per month.
You are asking him to go back to his old life and reduce his income. How could he want to do this? That's why he organized the aboriginal gathering in front of him.
After everyone was seated, Qian Duoduo coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, then stood up and said:
"Everyone! Everyone must be very clear about Qian's purpose of inviting everyone here today. He has been worried about this matter recently, so Qian will not go around any more twists and turns with you!"
Everyone below immediately agreed:
"Boss Qian, please tell me, the big guy has been worried to death because of this matter recently.
If Boss Qian has a way to solve it, he might as well give you some advice! "
"Yes! Boss Qian! I only have these two properties in my house, and my family depends on the rent. How can we survive if the rent is reduced!"
"Hahaha, your big family won't starve to death if they go out to look for work, right?"
"Go, go, go. I'm used to living a life without having to work. Would you like to go out to work instead of you now?"
"That's true! I'm in a worse position than you. I don't know where I learned that kid, but he actually learned how to gamble. He gambled away all the money that my mother had worked so hard to save. If it weren't for a few properties, If we collect the rent, we, the old couple, may starve to death!"
"Gambling? You're done. Sooner or later, your family fortune will be wiped out by those prodigal boys. Can you gamble in a gambling house? Do you understand that nine times out of ten you will lose?"
"Oh, the child is too old to be controlled!"
"So does that boy of mine! Alas..."
As they were talking, everyone's topic suddenly changed to the topic of the education of the children at home. Ever since they got rich, these people have become more concerned about the education of the next generation. However, after getting rich, the probability of having a prodigal son in the family has increased. It has been greatly improved, and only those with money can defeat it, otherwise ordinary families would have been ruined long ago!
The issue of education is a headache even for charterers like them.
Seeing that the building was getting more and more crooked, Qian Duoduo quickly brought the topic back on track and loudly said: "Everyone! Everyone!"
Everyone's discussion gradually stopped and they looked over again.
Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The crux of everything now is that the new city has opened up, and everyone has new choices, so our income will decrease.
However, this is the policy of the county governor's office, and we naturally cannot resist it. "
"Yes, Boss Qian, the putting into use of this new city is something that the prince is paying close attention to. We must not get involved in it. If the prince blames it, we can't afford it!"
"Yes! Yes! Everyone knows that the prince is ruthless, but they dare not go against the prince!"
Everyone was a little scared. The aborigines like them knew Zhao Jun's evil reputation best.
If you haven't committed any crime, that's fine. This prince will be very easy to talk to.
But if you violate his taboo, no matter who you are or what influence you have behind you, this prince will never be merciful!
I also like to cut the grass and root out the roots!
That leaves you no hope at all!
Seeing that everyone was thinking of retreating, Qian Duoduo hurriedly said: "Don't panic, everyone, I certainly won't let you confront the prince, and there is no need for us.
The main reason for calling everyone here this time is to deal with this situation. I want to unify our opinions with everyone. We have control of many real estate properties in the inner city, even if the new city is opened. But this Yunzhou City is the capital after all. I don’t know how many people’s jobs are in this Yunzhou City, and they can’t live without it!
So I think we can completely set a tacit price, that is, a tacit uniform rent price for the property. No matter how the market wind changes, our rent will not change!
Whether you like to rent or not, there are always people who want to rent with us. There is no need for us to care about the market conditions. We should ensure our own interests first! "
As soon as he said that there was a lot of money, many charterers' eyes lit up!
yes! People like us control most of the housing supply in the inner city. If we and others are unwilling to lower the price, then there is nothing others can do to us. As long as we have the same tacit agreement on pricing and do not undermine each other, then whoever wants to live in the inner city can do it. You still have to accept our price, and we don’t have to lower the rent because of the new city!
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt it was feasible, and they began to discuss it excitedly.
Seeing that the situation was developing as he expected, Qian Duoduo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
This is just an attempt on his part to see if he can stabilize his interests. If not, he has other options to retreat.
A new city must mean new opportunities. People like them who have capital in their own hands can gain greater benefits by entering the market early.
You can deceive these people to stay here and fight to the death, so that you can enjoy the benefits. You can't drag them here and go to the new city to eat cakes!
After all, no matter where you are, the cake is always limited. If you can share it with fewer people, you can eat more!
Isn't it?
Qian Duo smiled proudly.
Others only smiled when they saw Boss Qian and saw that everyone was working together and seemed to be able to protect themselves and everyone's interests in Yunzhou City.
They never expected that having a lot of money would only encourage them to become cannon fodder for them and hold them back while they were already preparing for their escape in the new city!
