The market in Dahe Town originally had only one street, but it was expanded once. When the town was restructured, the imperial court allocated funds for expansion again.
The shops that were expanded this time were all very large and luxurious, starting with three floors. They were built next to the original market and looked magnificent.
"There are a total of twenty shops here, all of which are used for big business." Zhao Xiancheng introduced, "This shop can be used as a bank, this shop is suitable for opening a pawn shop, how about being a bodyguard agency, and this one is suitable for family use It’s not bad to be a teahouse..."
Since Dahe Town wants to develop, it cannot just be a small business. Dahe Town must also have shops that other cities have.
But there's a problem...
"No one in our village knows how to run a bank pawn shop." Zhao County Cheng touched his chin, "Dashan Niang, you are so smart, why don't you take care of all these shops and just pay some rent to the town every month? .”
Cheng Wanwan was ashamed: "Shu Gao looks down on me. I really don't know how to do this."
She doesn't even understand the modern banking system, let alone the more complicated bank operations in ancient times, so don't cause any trouble.
Professional matters must be left to professionals.
She looked up at the rows of shops on the street, and an idea slowly came to her mind.
"Since no one in our Dahe Town knows these things, then let people who know these things run it." She said with a smile, "Ask Tiezhu to write an announcement and post it, saying that the third phase of Dahe Town's market has been completed and will be open to the public. Everyone invites investment.”
Zhao Xian Cheng tilted his head: "What does attracting investment mean?"
"Business recruitment means recruiting businessmen who run these shops." The smile on Cheng Wanwan's face widened, "After the canal in Dahe Town is completed, none of us can predict the scale of the market here. There is a shop here, and when the canal is opened, this shop will become a cash cow. Not to mention making a fortune every day, it should be easy to make a hundred taels of silver a day."
Of course, Zhao Xiancheng knew that the development of the market would get better and better, so he held the ownership of these shops in their own hands and would not sell them.
Originally, I wanted to let my own people run it, but everyone is an out-and-out farmer. They can sell some things, but they really don't know how to run a pawn shop.
He swallowed: "I'll let Tie Zhu post the notice."
"But, there is a prerequisite." Cheng Wanwan paused and said, "Everyone knows this is a good thing. If they all come to Dahe Town to compete for management rights, we won't be able to accommodate them, so if we raise the threshold, only Only businessmen who have contributed to the Dahe Town Canal can receive an investment placard in Dahe Town and enter the meeting with the investment placard."
"High, really high!" Zhao County Cheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "No one can match your brains, Dashan Niang."
The market is used to raise donations for the canal, and the canal will in turn promote the prosperity and development of the market. The two complement each other, and the future of Dahe Town may be transformed...
This matter cannot be delayed, Zhao Xiancheng and Zhao Tiezhu went to deal with it immediately.
There are businessmen coming and going in Dahe Town every day. After this notice was posted, it caused a huge discussion, and these businessmen took the news to other places.
The date of the investment conference is set for twenty-one days later, and businessmen from far enough away will come to attend.
During these twenty-one days, Cheng Wanwan was mainly decorating the investment venue. She arranged the third-floor shop with the largest height in the middle as a conference room. The decoration details were in a high-end direction. She also decorated some vases and screens given by the emperor. , corals, potted plants... Contributions were put on display, which made Zhao Xiancheng and Tie Zhu anxious, fearing that they would be damaged by someone.
If Dahe Town wants to become bigger and stronger, it can’t leave anyone with a say in the details.
At the same time, an exquisite investment invitation number plate was also made, with a black base and gold and silver edges. Master Yu wrote the number himself, and clearly wrote the investment invitation rules in small characters on the back.
Huzhou businessmen who had already donated silver came to collect the number plates.
After hearing the news, some businessmen from nearby Qingzhou and other places in Nanyang came over. After walking around Dahe Town, they were convinced that this was a geomantic treasure, so they did not hesitate to participate in the fund-raising and held the Proof of fundraising to exchange for participation number plate.
Foreign businessmen who have been cooperating with Cheng Wanwan will choose to stay in Dahe Town to join in the fun if they have nothing major to deal with. After all, this is the first time they have heard of the investment fair in their many years of life. It sounds very interesting. It seems that if you are lucky enough to get the right to operate a certain store, you might be able to establish your family's business empire in Dahe Town.
In this way, more and more businessmen came to Dahe Town, and the original small inn was completely unable to accommodate them, and the inns in Ping'an County were also full.
So, Zhao Xian Cheng made the decision to choose one of the twenty shops to become a branch of Dahe Inn. However, this branch was three floors and the decoration was more exquisite in all aspects, so it was exclusively for wealthy people. The original inn was For ordinary people.
There were twenty shops available for competition before, but now, there were only nineteen left, and the merchants sensed a sense of crisis.
In mid-to-late June, the weather gradually became hotter.
In this hot season, Dahe Town's first investment meeting officially began.
In the early morning, people were constantly coming in and out of the town. The village department arranged for people to guide the way at the entrance. Someone was responsible for arranging the carriages and horses, and someone was responsible for taking the merchants to the investment center to take seats. The huge venue was already crowded with people.
Businessmen who donate more than one thousand taels of silver can sit on the third floor, those who donate more than five hundred taels of silver can sit on the second floor, and the rest can be found in the lobby on the first floor.
Fortunately, this shop is big enough to accommodate hundreds of people, otherwise we would have to go to the big locust tree for the meeting.
The businessmen gathered together and were shocked.
The main stage in front was temporarily blocked by a screen. The screen was embroidered with flowers and wealth, a very common pattern, but it made people see wealth and luxury.
There are also coral potted plants placed on the shelves in the corner. These things are difficult to buy even if you have money, but Dahe Town actually displays them so carelessly without fear of being damaged.
The two large vases at the entrance are even more eye-catching. They are not cheap at first glance...
After everyone admired the layout of the venue, they started talking.
"This shop is really big, and every floor is very luxurious. It would be great to open a brothel."
"Sui Gongren said that you can open any shop, but you can't open a brothel or casino, otherwise you will never be allowed to enter Dahe Town again."
"Isn't this a joke? In fact, it is also very good for bank business. There are so many businessmen coming and going, and the bank has to make a lot of money."
"Everyone thinks so. It depends on whether you are lucky enough to get the management rights."
"This number plate says that you need to participate in the auction to compete for the right to operate. I would like to ask everyone present, what do you mean by the word auction?"
Everyone looked confused.
Not to mention the word auction, it was the first time in their lives that they had even heard of the word investment.
When I was confused, a group of people walked in from the entrance.
