Of course, Li Zhao hopes that businesses will settle in the area in the early stage, which will be of great benefit to the local development in the future.
But he couldn't expose his needs too early, so he had to be reserved.
Of course, from the moment Xue Jingwen decided to cooperate with him, Li Zhao actually had the intention to win over Xue Jingwen.
This is definitely a business genius with a ruthless vision. If he can be subdued, he will save a lot of time and energy in the future.
Seeing that Li Zhao was silent, the people who came with Xue Jingwen became a little anxious.
They came here thinking that Li Zhao would not refuse, and they were not prepared for Li Zhao's refusal at all.
Shen Zhaolin and Xue Jingwen also looked a little nervous, and they were a little unsure of Li Zhao's ideas.
After a long silence, just when they were about to lose their patience, Li Zhao frowned and said, "You can settle here if you want, but I also have a few conditions."
Xue Jingwen, who almost couldn't hold himself any longer, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
They were not afraid of Li Zhao's conditions, but they were afraid that Li Zhao would refuse them directly without even giving him a chance to negotiate the conditions.
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Although Xue Jingwen and Shen Zhaolin had good vision, they still couldn't beat Li Zhao.
"First, if you choose to settle in, you cannot quit easily. If you quit midway, you will never cooperate again in the future. Remember, it is all cooperation."
"Second, you need to pay rent to move here. Considering how many times everyone has cooperated, I can give you a discount."
"Third, after settling here, your prices must be regulated by me. Of course, I will not regulate them randomly, because I will also ask my team to comprehensively analyze prices across the country and finally set a reasonable price. This price is definitely not as high as what you set. If it is acceptable, we will sign the contract. If not, forget it."
Cooperation necessarily involves the distribution of money.
There are countless people who have broken up because of money.
Li Zhao also wanted to see the courage of these people.
What surprised Li Zhao slightly was that Xue Jingwen, Shen Zhaolin and others had already made their decision: "We agree!"
Regardless of Li Zhao's previous life or this life, his identity and experience are destined to be unable to empathize with them, and he will never understand their determination to find a new path.
In his previous life, he was a social beast, but in this life, he is a top powerful person.
No matter how useless they are, they are still standing at the top of the pyramid. It is impossible for Li Zhao to understand their mentality.
Therefore, seeing Xue Jingwen and the others being so decisive, I felt a little happy.
The above requirements were made up by him.
However, the market will indeed transform into a shopping mall in the later stages.
"Very good!" Li Zhao was not a procrastinator and said immediately: "Ask someone to come over and write the contract."
Soon, the people in the palace who were responsible for drafting the contract were in place, and under the watchful eyes of Li Zhao and Xue Jingwen, they wrote down the cooperation projects and requirements.
The more Li Zhao listened, the more frightened he became. How many properties do these wealthy children have in their families?
These industries are really important to today's markets, covering almost all the products Li Zhao wants.
What is sold in the market is definitely not only daily necessities, but also other varieties.
It just so happened that the appearance of Xue Jingwen and others filled the gap in this aspect in the early stage of the market.
Li Zhao secretly rejoiced: This time he found a treasure.
"Prepare herbal tea!"
Wu Diao Si immediately made preparations. He was full of surprise. He had never known that the market could still make money like this.
There are thirty-six people in total. In order to avoid conflicts when doing business with each other, Li Zhao specially formulated categories. This means that there are thirty-six more categories to choose from in the market. This is very scary.
As for rent, Li Zhao gave a very honest price: ten dollars a month.
Xue Jingwen and the others were all startled, thinking they heard wrongly: "Do you really only want ten strings?"
Ten guan of money is an astronomical sum to ordinary people, but to them who come from a wealthy family, it is nothing.
In addition, they have been staying in Hailong County recently, and the thing they heard the most is money. A threshing machine often costs 50,000 guan. It is only ten guan, which really seems to be free.
Xue Jingwen and the others were greatly surprised, pleasantly surprised and moved.
They thought this was a trick Li Zhao had specially set up for them, and even made up a big show in their minds, thinking that the three previous conditions, which seemed bluffing, were actually just to test their determination.
After confirming that one month's rent was only ten dollars, everyone smiled.
This deal is really doable.
Li Zhao did not tell them that today's market is still small and insignificant. Basically, the initial investment will not be too big, and of course, the profits will not be too much.
When the scale is fully achieved in the later stage, the profits will be terrible.
Therefore, Li Zhao signed contracts once a year to facilitate price increases in the future.
Xue Jingwen and the others felt that Li Zhao was considerate and considerate of them.
Because generally when encountering this kind of situation, merchants will definitely ask for more time periods to be signed, so that they can make money.
Xue Jingwen and Shen Zhaolin can also see that it is still very troublesome to develop here and it will take a long time.
If the signing took a long time, it would be an advantage for Li Zhao, but Li Zhao did not do this. They were very moved and felt that Li Zhao was thinking about them because he was afraid that they would suffer a loss.
Li Zhao didn't expose it, he would never admit these things.
After the herbal tea was served, everyone who was already sweating from the heat suddenly felt refreshed after drinking the herbal tea.
Now that the cooperation has been signed, the relationship between the two parties will naturally become closer.
Li Zhao warmly invited them to go to the market. In fact, the current market is not very big, it is just a "cross" street.
The flow of people in the early stage was not large, and with the floating population, Li Zhao was unable to achieve such great cohesion in a short period of time.
"When this street first started, there was only one stall, which was mainly used to store food!" Li Zhao, as a landlord, did not shy away from the initial scale.
Shen Zhaolin couldn't help but ask: "My lord, why do you insist on selling them food at such a low price?"
Food is their lifeblood in their eyes, and as a powerful person from an aristocratic family, it is absolutely impossible for them to sympathize with the common people.
Maybe they have no intention of oppressing the common people, but subconsciously they think about problems from the perspective of their own class.
If the common people are living well, then their aristocratic families are having a hard time.
Li Zhao stood on the cross street market corridor, looked at Shen Zhaolin and others with full eyes, and asked: "Do you think that feeding the common people will make your life difficult, or... it will not be conducive to your family's status? Is it stable?"
Although this was true, they didn't expect Li Zhao to say it so nakedly, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while.
In the end, Shen Zhaolin nodded.
"Then let me tell you a story?" Li Zhao said.
"Story?" Xue Jingwen, Shen Zhaolin and others all looked at Li Zhao in surprise.
