I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

The next day.

The center of Jiangzhou city is extremely lively.

In a large courtyard, a banquet had already been set up, and many servants were busy entertaining the guests.

In front of the compound, there was a banner with a line of large characters on it: "Jiangzhou New District New House Auction."

This banquet was the new house auction that Jiang Zuo had been preparing for a long time.

Nowadays, the real estate in Jiangzhou City is extremely hot, and many people from other places come here to visit.

These guests dressed in fine clothes are all high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and wealthy people with considerable wealth.

Early this morning, Chen Xiu followed Jiang Zuo into the compound.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn't this an auction? Why is it being held like a celebration party? It's so grand.

There were twenty or thirty tables in the huge courtyard, all filled with fine wine and delicious food.

"Everyone, please take your seats."

Jiang Zuo came to the front and began to greet the guests.

"While everyone is enjoying the delicious food, our real estate auction is about to begin."

As he spoke, he picked up a map of a residential area and hung it high.

"Master Jiang, how many houses are you going to auction today?"

someone asked.

Jiang Zuo turned and looked at Master Guo.

Master Guo replied: "Ninety-nine sets, fifty sets inside the city, and forty-nine sets outside the city."

"Master Guo, what is the starting price for the new residential area in the city?"

Jiang Zuo asked in a low voice.

Previously, Jiang Zuo had been busy with military affairs in Chen State, and these business matters were handled by Master Guo, so naturally he knew the situation better.

Mr. Guo replied, "Sir, the starting price is thirty thousand taels of silver per set."

Jiang Zuo said, "It's less."

"30,000 is not enough?" Chen Xiu at the side couldn't help but wonder, "No one will buy such an expensive house, right?"

In Chen Xiu's opinion, even a mansion in the capital would not be sold for as much as 30,000 taels.

Jiang Zuo smiled and said, "Master Jiu, you must have underestimated the spending power of our Yan country's wealthy merchants. They are much richer than you think."

Chen Xiu said: "Even if they have money, they won't suffer this loss."

He believed that whoever bought this house worth 32,000 yuan would be cheated.

At this time, Jiang Zuo suddenly stood up and said to the guests, "Dear bosses who came to the auction, today in our Jiangzhou New Residential District, the starting price of each house is 50,000 taels of silver, and the starting bid is 1,000 taels. If you don't accept this price, you can leave now."

"Fifty thousand taels?"

Chen Xiu was stunned, thinking that Jiang Zuo was still good at cheating people.

No matter how luxurious the mansion is, it wouldn't be sold for 50,000 taels, right?

"Fifty thousand is so expensive?"

Sure enough, someone present raised questions.

Jiang Zuo said: "Everyone knows that our Yan State has unified the north and the south, and Jiangzhou City is the most critical place between the north and the south. The court has issued a policy and is preparing to vigorously develop Jiangzhou City. You must have seen that Jiangzhou City is different from before, and the price of houses will definitely rise. Investing in real estate now is absolutely right."

Hearing Jiang Zuo's words, Chen Xiu couldn't help but wonder, the imperial court issued a decree to develop Jiangzhou City?

Why haven't you heard of it?

If you think about it carefully, it must be another way for Jiang Zuo to deceive people.

However, from these two visits to Jiangzhou City, I can see that this small place has indeed developed very well.

"This mansion, which costs 50,000 taels, must be quite large."

"That's for sure. I had the honor of visiting them a few days ago. Those mansions are truly magnificent."

The wealthy businessmen present here don't need the 50,000 taels at all.

At this time, Jiang Zuo introduced again: "These high-end residential areas are well-equipped and located in the city center. There are also top-level academies nearby, which ensures that your children can receive a good education. Moreover, this North Street is the commercial center of our Jiangzhou City. Whether it is a brothel or a bathing center, it is only a few dozen steps away."

"Although I don't understand what Lord Jiang said, it sounds very impressive."

"If you follow Lord Jiang, you will never be fooled."

Jiang Zuo pointed to the center of the map and said, "The first one to be auctioned is located in the best location in the city center, covers an area of ​​two acres, and is fully equipped. The starting price is 70,000 taels."

"Seventy thousand, you wouldn't come to Jiangzhou City to buy a house with this much money, right?"

Chen Xiu couldn't help but wonder, would these rich people in front of him really believe what Jiang Zuo said?

"This is a limited edition. There are only three sets in the entire Jiangzhou City. If you want to buy it, you have to act quickly."

Jiang Zuo reminded again.

"I'll pay 70,000!"

Someone shouted.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted Chen Xiu's attention.

“Is there really anyone who buys it?”

Chen Xiu couldn't understand it at all.

"Seventy thousand for the first time."

Master Guo started to call for action.

"I'll pay 71,000 taels!"

Others started to raise the price.

"Seventy-three thousand taels!"

Seeing these wealthy businessmen fighting for it, Chen Xiu was even more surprised.

How could something so expensive be so popular?

Is it possible that these wealthy businessmen have so much money but nowhere to spend it?

In the end, the first luxury mansion was sold for 80,000 taels.

And this is just the appetizer, the following auction will be even more exciting.

Jiang Zuo said: "There are still many properties outside the city. The prices are much cheaper than those inside the city, but their value is also not low, because our Jiangzhou City will be successfully expanded soon. By then, there will be no distinction between inside and outside the city. If you want to take action, now is the time."

For a moment, the entire auction site was like a vegetable market.

After the auction, the time has come to settle the amounts of today's contracts.

Today's daily transaction volume has reached more than 8 million taels!

Nearly one hundred units of this new residential area have been sold.

"How could our Yan State have so many wealthy businessmen?"

Chen Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

There were so many rich people, but when the imperial court needed disaster relief money, it could not take a single cent from these people.

Looking at the stack of contracts on the table, the figures on Master Guo's account, and the Ninth Prince beside him, Jiang Zuo couldn't help but say, "If Master Jiu had kept the 100,000 taels of shares, he might have received nearly 400,000 taels of dividends now."

"Four hundred thousand taels?!"

Chen Xiu was shocked and realized that he had missed out on so much wealth.

At first I thought this was just a trick played by Jiang Zuo to fool people, but I didn't expect it to be real.

"Money is nothing but material possessions. There is nothing to be sorry about."

Chen Xiu said this calmly, but in fact he felt a little regretful.

If we could earn hundreds of thousands of taels from those wealthy businessmen, we would be able to fill the financial gap for the court.

At first, it was harder than climbing to the sky for the imperial court to get these wealthy businessmen to pay money. But now, Jiang Zuo earned millions of taels from these wealthy families in just a few months. This ability to make money really shocked Chen Xiu.

This guy not only knows how to fight, but he also has some economic skills.

Chen Xiu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder His Majesty values ​​Jiang Zuo so much...
