Mei Ziyi and Jian Shuyang happened to be facing Wen Jinhe and the others, and their eyes fell on the opposite side many times.
Mu Wangshu looked away after one glance, but after a moment, he looked at his two friends and frowned, reminding them: "Stop looking."
Jian Shuyang lowered his head and said softly: "I have never seen such a beautiful woman, completely surpassing the most beautiful woman in Kyoto."
Mei Ziyi nodded in agreement, seeing that the man with the bun must be married, but although the man sitting next to him was quite handsome, he seemed very unworthy just to sit with this woman.
Guo Luo scolded: "No matter how beautiful she is, she is just a skin. As scholars, it is really presumptuous for you to stare at a woman many times."
Mu Wangshu whispered: "Those two guards are staring at you. This woman must have an extraordinary background. Be careful of getting into trouble."
Jian Shuyang quickly looked at Zhao Bi and He Shi, but happened to meet their eyes. His dark eyes were as deep as ink, full of threats and defense.
Jian Shuyang immediately lowered his head and stopped looking. Children who were born as merchants have been able to read people's faces since they were young and know who should not be offended.
Guo Luo seemed much calmer. After all, he had guards following him before the country was destroyed.
After taking their minds away from Wen Jinhe, the hunger in their stomachs became even stronger.
Jian Shuyang shouted to the waiter who was clearing the table: "Waiter, serve the food as soon as possible."
The waiter put the towel on his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll go and urge you."
It's past noon now, and the kitchen has become faster. If the waiter goes to urge the chef, he won't be scolded by the chef, and he can also get rewards from the guests, so he is naturally happy.
Wen Jinhe saw that Su Huai was in disbelief and looked like a fool, so he explained: "Although the house has not been built yet, we can do a pre-sale."
Su Huaizhi straightened his back, thinking that Wen Jinhe had made a mistake this time, "What kind of pre-sale method? You can't collect the money first and give the house to others later. No one will be willing to buy it, and the people will scold it." He’s a lunatic, stealing money.”
The Queen's behavior is called credit, but a house is not an ordinary commodity. For ordinary people, one tael of silver can be spent for a month, and buying a house can easily cost dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels. How? May pay first and then deliver.
Wen Jinhe stared at him with piercing eyes, "You guessed it right, we will pay the money first and then deliver the goods."
Su Huaizhi slapped his forehead, looking like he couldn't accept it. No one wanted to do a loss-making business. He was already very rich, but when he heard this, he felt that it was unacceptable, let alone the people who were living in poverty.
"In the past, wealthy people in the city and officials from the central government could keep accounts when they went to restaurants to eat, and went to the mansion to settle accounts every month. If that's the case, why can't we hand over the apartment later."
Su Huaizhi had a headache, "But that's because the restaurant believes that those people are not short of money and will not default on their bills."
Wen Jinhe: "The construction of New Taipei District is under the control of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry represents the court, and the emperor symbolizes credibility. This is the same as the accounting of restaurants. People will definitely believe that as long as they pay the money, they will be sure to do it after it is completed." There will be houses, and if the pre-sale price is lower than the sale price after completion, people will naturally buy it.”
Money attracts people's hearts, especially to ordinary people.
Su Huaizhi was puzzled, "But we are not short of money now. We can sell it after the construction of the New Taipei District is completed."
Wen Jinhe said: "How come there is no shortage of money? The Ministry of Industry spends money every day, and my private treasury can hardly support it."
You must know that Wen Jinhe only has six million taels. Although the industry will bring in profits every month, just building the capital will require tens of millions of taels of silver. If the funds are not withdrawn from pre-sales, it may be cut off halfway through.
Su Huaizhi frowned, "We still have to test the people's reaction to this matter."
Rich and wealthy families all have their own houses. If they buy them, they will be ordinary people who have some money and have enough food and clothing.
Wen Jinhe tapped his fingers on the table, "You can send leaflets to surrounding cities. The capital is an imperial city after all, and there will definitely be people who want to move."
Jian Shuyang, who was sitting next door and eating vegetables, eavesdropped with his ears raised. They were sitting next door. Even if Wen Jinhe and the others' voices were quiet, they could still hear something if they listened carefully.
Pre-sale houses are unheard of. Do these two people have land in New Taipei District?
Jian Shuyang and the others arrived late. When they arrived in the capital, the Ministry of Industry had already started construction. Naturally, they did not know that all the land in the New Taipei District belonged to the same owner.
Listening to the conversation between Wen Jinhe and Su Huaizhi, Jian Shuyang simply thought that they were wealthy people from the North Alley. They must be very wealthy businessmen who could talk about the Ministry of Industry and the imperial court in the inn.
Jian Shuyang straightened his collar and cuffs and whispered, "I'm going to make a good relationship."
Guo Luo and the others stared at his back as he stood up and walked to the next table, very confused. What kind of good relationship could he have?
When Zhao Bi saw that the person who had just peeked at Wen Jinhe actually stood up and walked over, he couldn't help but become more vigilant.
"Sorry, I just heard that you were going to sell a house. I wonder where it is?" Jian Shuyang deliberately got closer to Su Huaizhi, not only because it was inconvenient to be too close to the woman, but also because it was the man who made the decision in important matters. He thought that Su Huaizhi He is the one in charge.
Wen Jinhe and Su Huaizhi raised their heads and looked at him at the same time.
Su Huaizhi had no intention of paying attention to him, and continued: "I'm selling a house that hasn't been built yet. It's just a foundation now. Do you want to buy it?"
Jian Shuyang raised his eyebrows and sat down next to Su Huai. He smiled and said, "I'll buy it."
Su Huaizhi was stunned. Did he agree now? This man couldn't be joking.
Wen Jinhe saw that he was wearing a scholar's robe. From the workmanship and fabric, it was easy to tell that this man was from a good family. She turned her head to look at the next table and found that the three men were staring at this side.
But looking at their clothes, although they are elegant, they are still worse than this person.
When the imperial court of the original Linyue Kingdom was destroyed, the fathers of Mu Wangshu and three others were not only dismissed from office, but all their family property was confiscated, leaving only the dowries of the women in the palace when they got married.
Although their background was better than that of Jian Shuyang, after the fall of the country, in terms of wealth, they were really not as rich as the merchant Jian family.
"Are you Enke's successor this time?" Wen Jinhe looked at Jian Shuyang and asked.
Nowadays, most of the outsiders in the capital are scholars, and they look similar in age and dress.
Jian Shuyang smiled and said, "Yes, I just finished the imperial examination yesterday. I'm Jian Shuyang, and my family is also a merchant. I don't have any real estate in the capital yet. I just heard two people talking about buying a house next door, so I came over to ask."
Su Huaizhi looked at him. After taking part in the palace examination, it means that this person will definitely be an official. "I'm afraid Mr. Jian has only heard a few superficial things. What we want to sell is a house in New Taipei District. You have also seen it, and it is still Ruins, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to move in right now.”
Jian Shuyang: "I just heard the word pre-sale, and I am very interested in it. And I may not be an official in the capital. I can just buy the house first and use it as an investment."
