From time to time, the crowd watching the excitement would make exclamations of envy and hatred.
The shopkeeper just woke up from a dream. He held the banknotes in his arms and nodded like garlic: "Sell it! Master Qin, I'll sell it!"
The simple construction cost of this restaurant is not even 5,000 taels of silver, and the business is not good, so it has almost no added value. To put it bluntly, this location is valuable. But being so close to Zuixian Tower makes the location a disadvantage. Not to mention one hundred thousand taels of silver, even thirty thousand taels of silver, the shopkeeper would agree to it without hesitation.
With this money, wouldn't it be nice to go back to my hometown, buy a few hundred acres of farmland, and live a heroic life like a squire?
Seeing that the shopkeeper agreed, many of the people eating melons at the door were beating their chests and wondering why this huge pie fell on this old guy's head!
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. Everyone couldn't help but point the finger at Qin Feng and whispered.
"Hmph, he is indeed a dandy of the Qin Mansion. He is indeed a prodigal. He can spend a hundred thousand taels without fear of losing his life!"
"According to his tricks, even the gold and silver mountains will be ruined."
"It's okay to have gold and silver. The problem is that Shangshu Ling's annual salary is only three or four hundred thousand taels when fully paid. Now one-third of his salary will be taken away. If I were his father, I would be furious to death."
Listening to the comments around him, Qin Feng not only didn't feel angry, but also looked proud.
What's wrong? I have the capital to squander it. You want to squander it, but you don’t have the strength yet.
It's too tiring to hear too much flattery. On the contrary, these envy, jealousy, hatred and sarcastic remarks can satisfy Qin Feng's vanity even more.
Besides, what Qin Feng was interested in was not the restaurant itself, but the land.
One hundred thousand yuan to buy out the land deed, a one-shot deal, will last a lifetime.
Qin Feng walked to the door and looked at the crowd with a smile.
Just now I wanted to greet Qin Feng's ancestors, but now they all went back.
Qin Feng's calculations were ringing in his mind. He had threatened to defeat Zuixian Tower in half a month, but time waited for no one, so he had to act quickly. Otherwise, if the deadline is delayed, Liu Hongyan will definitely use this matter to laugh at Qin Feng for the rest of his life.
Keep everything simple and fast!
"Everyone has heard about it, right? I dislike the style of Zuixianlou the most. Isn't it just a restaurant? It's pretending to be a political organ! I just want to fight against Zuixianlou. But you have also seen that these five Huda Restaurant is really in dilapidated condition and is in urgent need of renovation. I wonder if there are any talented people among you?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.
Who in the entire Kyoto doesn’t know that Zuixianlou is not to be messed with? Don't risk your own life by messing around with Qin Feng. You can't do it just for the sake of three melons and two dates.
Qin Feng had long expected this outcome, and he stretched out three fingers: "You just need to follow my instructions and plan, renovate the restaurant, and pay for the work and materials, thirty thousand taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, the scene that had been lifeless just now started to boil.
Everyone couldn't believe their ears and kept exclaiming.
"What? Did I hear it correctly? Thirty thousand taels of silver? Did Qin Feng really take out all his father's coffins?"
"Although the Wuhu Restaurant is large in area, it only costs two thousand taels for labor and materials. He actually paid thirty thousand taels for it? Doesn't he understand the market?"
"Haha, it turns out that he is an armchair strategist. He just goes out to open a restaurant without knowing anything. Sooner or later, he will be compensated to death. But... I made the money!"
"You idiot, what's the matter with you? Looking at the entire Kyoto, who is as skilled in craftsmanship as I am?"
The craftsmen in the crowd started to compete. After all, 30,000 taels of silver was too tempting. If you do this business, you don't have to worry about it for ten or eight years, let alone one year.
How can ordinary people spend as much as dignitaries? It is said that for farmers in remote areas of the northwest, the net annual expenditure for a family of three is only one, two or three cents.
While the craftsmen were forever competing for this lucrative job, Qin Feng directly added: "It will be completed within three days."
Throwing it out with just one sentence immediately crushed the craftsmen on site to death.
Several big craftsmen who were sure to win just now began to murmur in low voices.
"Three days? Are you kidding! For such a big restaurant, it will take a month or two at the earliest!"
"That's right, this Qin Feng not only doesn't understand the market, he doesn't even understand working hours."
"To put it bluntly, doesn't he understand two things? He doesn't understand this, and he doesn't understand that!"
"People are used to eating fine clothes, so naturally they don't understand such common things. This is called why not eat minced meat."
Three days is already the maximum deadline given by Qin Fengneng.
In addition to decoration, there are also operations. The half-month schedule is too tight, otherwise why would Qin Feng spend a lot of money on it?
Just when all the craftsmen were shaking their heads and expressing that they couldn't bear the fat salary, a young man wearing rags and unkempt hair walked out of the crowd.
"Master Qin, I can take this job." The young man lowered his head and did not dare to look Qin Feng in the face. After all, the difference in status was too great.
Qin Feng has never judged people by their appearance, but even Qin Feng himself felt that the three-day construction period was a bit harsh. Without a large number of craftsmen, no matter how skilled one person is, he would never be able to do it.
Before Qin Feng could ask, the crowd around him couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into bursts of mocking laughter. It was obvious that this young man was somewhat famous in the craftsman circle.
"Hey, who did I think was so brazen? It turns out to be the young class leader Lu Ming."
"Lu Ming? What's the origin?"
"Even the young class leader of Zhang's class doesn't know? This class in Kyoto has always been known for its skillful craftsmen. At its peak, it cooperated with the Ministry of Works. Unfortunately, it took too big a step and it was too much trouble with the Ministry of Works. We made weapons together, but the quality was not up to par, and we were punished and our family was ruined. Now, only the leader is left, wandering around Kyoto."
"Haha, you actually dare to cooperate with the Ministry of Industry? You really don't know how to live or die!"
"Why is the young class leader of Zhang's class named Lu?"
"Foster son, how else do you think he escaped this disaster?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in the crowd kindly tried to dissuade him.
"Lu Ming, this job is really fat, but even the great craftsmen like us can't handle it. It's just you, so you'd better take it easy."
"Do you know who this young master is? But if the son of the Minister of War is negligent, even if you are beaten to death in the street, no one will care."
Lu Ming lowered his head and clenched his fists suddenly, seemingly unwilling to do so.
After all, 30,000 taels of silver is enough for the Zhang family to regain its reputation.
Moreover, Lu Ming is confident that with his craftsmanship and skill, he can definitely meet Qin Feng's requirements. The only thing he lacks right now is manpower.
This matter is related to Qin Feng's entire chess game, so naturally he must not be careless.
Just when he was about to look for other suitable candidates, Lu Ming suddenly shouted: "I can do it! If I can't do it well, Master Qin doesn't need to do anything, and I will hit my head on the stone steps and die!"
Qin Feng's eyes that had moved away fell on Lu Ming again.
