[15% off? 】
[Participation...are there rewards? 】
[Let’s go, let’s join in the fun! ! 】
[All the merchants became interested, and after paying the bills, they walked towards the Suhang City Governor's Mansion. 】
[About an hour later, Zhou Zhenwen came to the high platform and looked down at the merchants. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Dear merchants, welcome to the city of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Everyone in the world says that there is heaven above and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below. The scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou is unique in the world and will become the most beautiful scenery in the entire wilderness...]
[Okay, enough gossip, this is the first trade fair in the entire wilderness, and I will host it. This trade fair will only display one thing...a house. 】
【house? 】
[Everyone was stunned. What is there to show about the house? 】
[Brick houses, thatched houses, courtyard houses...all kinds of Chinese-style buildings, where have they not seen them before? 】
[What’s so good about buying a house? 】
[Please follow me, I will show you the finished room...]
[Soon, under the leadership of Zhou Zhenwen, everyone came to a courtyard blocked by a high wall. The structure of the courtyard was quite special and extremely tall. It seemed to have a three-layer structure, but each layer was built together, one on top of the other. With one layer, it looks like wooden blocks stacked together...]
[Come here, open the door! ! 】
[With Zhou Zhenwen’s order, the door was opened, and the whole picture inside was seen by the merchants. This is a very special building, with a total of three floors. Each floor has transparent glass. The walls are almost smooth, without any trace. It has a concave and convex feel, roofs, eaves and balconies, but the architectural style is a bit weird. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: This is a three-story foreign-style building. It is the work of a master from outside the country. All structures are made of special materials. The stability is greatly increased, especially the thermal insulation effect, which is far superior to ordinary houses. Each house is equipped with glazed mirrors. Enjoy the scenery outside the window through the glass mirror, and also designed the function of stretching the doors and windows...]
[Zhou Zhenwen briefly introduced the functions of the house. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Everyone, come with me and feel it! 】
Seeing this scene, Empress Liang Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, this Zhou Zhenwen still has something he hasn't brought out!!"
"This house probably uses the cement from the last simulation, so it can be made so flat. It has this style. It's a bit weird. Does it look good?"
"It's okay, but it doesn't look good?"
“It’s really not that good!!”
[Many businessmen were visiting the room. They sighed and shook their heads at many of the facilities. They felt that the difference was too big and they were not comfortable with it. Although it looked good, it would still feel weird if they really wanted to live in it. I feel uneasy...]
【Huh? 】
[Have you noticed it? 】
[It’s not cold at all since entering the room? Is this house well insulated? 】
[A word woke up the dreamer, and all the businessmen suddenly realized it. The eyes they looked at the house instantly changed and became hot. 】
【Insulation! 】
[In this environment, keeping warm is enough! ! 】
【Being able to keep warm is the way to go! ! 】
[In this extremely cold weather, who doesn’t want a warm place to live? But even in southern towns where it doesn’t snow all year round, snowflakes began to fall. The temperature dropped sharply. Many people did not buy winter clothes and froze to death! ! 】
[In this case, who wouldn’t want such a house that can withstand the severe cold? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: It seems that everyone is not able to accept this style of house... It doesn't matter, there are also Chinese courtyards, courtyards, and landscape courtyards... for everyone to choose from...]
[Soon, Zhou Zhenwen led these businessmen to other houses. 】
[Following the visit, all the businessmen were excited and wanted to buy a house. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: To buy a house in Suhang City, you must meet three points. First, you must save more than 50,000 taels of silver in a designated bank in Suhang City. Second, you must participate in production and trade in Suhang City. Third, you must participate in the future of Suhang City. Construction...]
[Zhou Zhenwen waved and asked someone to bring the brochure up and hand it to every businessman. 】
[When the merchants opened the brochure, the first sentence that caught their eyes was...Business tax will be ten times higher when doing business in Suzhou and Hangzhou! ! 】
[In an instant, all the businessmen were in a panic! ! 】
[Many people couldn’t help but speak out...]
[Are you kidding me? Ten times commercial tax? Ten times the tax? 】
[Where is this transaction? This is obviously bone and marrow suction, right? 】
[How can you make money from this? 】
[This tax... Who actually formulated it? 】
[Master Zhou, if this is the tax collection method, then we cannot participate...]
[Zhou Zhenwen directly picked up the stick and struck the gong hard. A harsh sound sounded. The discussion of the businessmen stopped instantly. They all raised their heads and looked at Zhou Zhenwen, waiting for his explanation... .]
"How will Zhou Zhenwen explain it?"
"Put all the problems on me?"
"still......"
Empress Liang Zhao was very curious about Zhou Zhenwen's reaction. After all, this was the trap she created. It would be understandable if Zhou Zhenwen pushed it on her! !
[Zhou Zhenwen looked at everyone: Do you think this tax is expensive? 】
[A businessman bravely stood in the crowd and responded: Isn’t it expensive? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Ten times the tax sounds very expensive, but according to the commercial tax of thirty to one tax, even if it is ten times, it is only more than 30%. Is this considered high? 】
[The businessman hid in the crowd and said: More than 30% of the profit, plus all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, we sell a product and still have to pay a premium. Is this the way of doing business? Dare I ask Mr. Zhou, you have also operated Qingzhou locusts. Is this how you do business? Or are you saying that you are so high up now that you don’t care about the lives of ordinary people like us? 】
[If the free trade zone you establish is like this, I'm afraid it won't last long...]
[Zhou Zhenwen: You are quite well informed and know about the free trade zone, but do you know what the real meaning of the free trade zone is? 】
[The businessman knew that he was speaking one after another, and he could no longer hide it. He strode out, cupped his hands and said: I hope Mr. Zhou can clear up my doubts! ! 】
[This person is clearly the Northland businessman. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: I don’t like the name of the Free Trade Zone. I prefer to call it the Economic·Economic·Special·Zone. In short, in this town, from this moment on, everything is... Economic behavior dominates. Simply put, it is to make money. Everyone living in this city must live to make money. No matter it is day or night, as long as the lights in Suzhou and Hangzhou do not go out, wealth must be generated every moment. , among you, there may be rich men worth one hundred thousand taels, or there may be top businessmen with one million taels of silver, but in my opinion, these are all small amounts of money, they are nothing. I want the city of Suzhou and Hangzhou to be born with ten million taels, ten thousand taels, etc. With a businessman worth ten thousand taels, I want the output value of the entire town to be comparable to that of the entire country...]
[Real estate is only the first step. For the next planning, please read the subsequent brochure...]
