In the bull market, there are not many large-scale construction projects. The place is only so big. Even if there is a large-scale construction project, no one will throw money here. There are many places along the Qinhuai River where every inch of land is valuable. If the money is thrown in this place where birds do not lay eggs, wouldn't it be?
Not a single sound could be heard.
However, in the bull market, there is always a shortage of houses for families. Thanks to the various guild halls, many wealthy businessmen do not mind setting up their own homes here. Firstly, it is convenient when walking around the guild halls. Secondly,
Sometimes it is a good idea to entertain friends in the business field. As for the houses that are occasionally used as warehouses to pile up goods when they are not useful, there are also many houses in the bull market.
The people in the Niu Market were surprised to find that not only was the recent construction work going on in the Niu Market, but even the other courtyards where ghosts were not seen on weekdays seemed to be lively, especially in the southeast corner next to the Jufangzhai powder shop.
That house was said to have been bought by a wealthy businessman in the capital. Not only had the wall facing the street been demolished and looked like it was going to be turned into a pavement, but there was also a tall building looming inside.
These rich people just like to make messes. The common people generally think so, but they are not opposed to these tossings. Some people must be used to repair and dismantle them. For the common people who rely on their strength to make a living,
Undoubtedly, there is another place to find a job. As long as they can work, even if these rich people demolish their houses every day and build new ones every day, they don't mind at all.
It's a pity that such a good thing is only imaginary, and no one has enough time to demolish a house and build a house for fun. Such a project will last less than a month, and it will eventually be finished.
Looking at the majestic three-story building, these people who rely on their strength to make a living, in addition to sighing at the magnificence of this high-rise building, also complained a little about the craftsmen who built the building. You said you had nothing to build, why did you do it so quickly? Everyone still wants to hang out longer
How many days' wages are there? It's rare to see such a boss who pays you so quickly.
Is it easy to give money? Of course it is easy. Each of the seventeen guild halls contributes one thousand taels of silver. Together, it is seventeen thousand taels of silver. Even this big house and the three-story high-rise building he built include this
The dozens of large and small houses behind the tall building cost no more than 5,000 taels, so they really can't afford the money.
The principals of the guild hall elected Rong Shubo and two other principals as representatives. As for Jinyiwei, of course, Qian Wubing was not allowed. The four of them will be the decision-makers of the newly completed "Sihai Guild Hall". According to
The charter has been discussed over the past month, and if nothing unexpected happens, the external and internal affairs of the Sihai Guild Hall will be handled by these four people.
Qian Wubing's suggestion was well accepted by the leaders of the guild hall, that is, the three people recommended by the guild hall. They re-elect them every six months. If they do well, everyone has no objections. Naturally, these three people can continue to take charge. If they do
Oops, it's possible to replace it with three people. Anyway, seeing the future of the Sihai Guild Hall, there are many people who are willing to be in charge.
During this period of building construction, these principals were naturally not idle. They naturally publicized the purpose and benefits of the Sihai Guild Hall that was about to open to the people of this Guild Hall. And the people in these Guild Halls,
Most of them traveled south and north, so the news gradually spread. Not only in Southern Zhili, but also in Northern Zhili, some businessmen heard about it.
But after hearing about it, I probably only heard about it as news. I guess I am also new to such a guild hall. If I go to Nanjing and have free time, I will naturally go and have a look. If I don’t have time, it will be the same thing.
, this club has not yet opened, so people really don’t have much expectations.
The third day of October is an auspicious day. Amid a burst of crackling firecrackers, the Sihai Guild Hall finally opened. The four shining characters on the gilded plaque were written by Wang Yue himself and requested by Qian Wubing himself.
.Other than that, the guarding eunuch's mansion did not take any other actions towards this newly opened guild hall. However, just these four words were enough weight. At least on the day of the opening, the businessmen from various guild halls who were invited to the guild hall had no other actions.
After asking about the origin of these four words, I walked into this guild hall and felt much more at ease. The prince is not going to fail, at least this guild hall is the most peaceful place in Nanjing!
With the same effect, a few officials who came to cheer on the opening day, which offended the fellow villagers, learned that these four words were written by Eunuch Wang Yue himself, and the perfunctory smiles on their faces suddenly became much more sincere.
Rong Shubo and others couldn't help but sigh slightly. In this world, money is certainly a good thing, but compared with the word "power", it is really a bit inferior.
The Jin Yiwei knew that they owned 30% of the guild hall and it was considered their own property, so they were naturally more attentive. Not to mention that they had warned all the ghosts and snake gods in the Niu Market in advance not to mess with them in the Sihai Guild Hall.
On the opening day, almost half a thousand households came out to maintain order in the hall and its surroundings. The public security situation in the cattle market reached an unprecedented good level during the days when the hall was opened. This amounted to dozens of people.
This is a rare situation every year.
So later on, the Sihai Guild Hall almost became the gathering place for the richest people in Nanjing. Some unscrupulous Jianghu people who wanted to come here to do some business were carefully reminded that if they didn't want to go to Jinyiwei's prison, they
If so, it is best not to make this idea. Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, I am afraid that other than hiding anonymously in a cold and remote corner, there will be no hope in this life. If you commit a crime elsewhere, it is just a local
The government wanted to arrest him. If he had to commit the crime in the Sihai Guild Hall, he would be in trouble with all the Jin Yiwei in the world.
The name Du Rufeng sounds a bit elegant, but if you see Du Rusong and Boss Du in person, you probably won’t have this idea. It is said that when Boss Du was young, he was called Hutou and he was only a hammer, so it is considered a cheap name.
, maybe, there is no famous name at all, but after he became rich, he asked people to give him this name, and he even gave him a cousin name. However, even the few friends he made can't remember his cousin name.
Okay, for people who don’t know a lot of Chinese characters, is this Chinese character useful?
After Boss Du got rich, he became fatter. Unfortunately, his parents didn't give him a good frame. This life was a little bit short. When he walked around, from a distance, he looked like a short and fat ball.
Rolling, at this moment, this meat ball is rolling around in the hall of Sihai Guild Hall.
His business is actually somewhat unrelated to the business of the Sihai Guild Hall. As for the biggest gimmick of the Sihai Guild Hall, which is that you can spend money to know the market prices of goods in various places, he is even more dismissive. He is a horse and carriage dealer, and he needs to know the prices of goods in various places.
Prices in places far away cannot be said, and how difficult it can be in South Zhili.
What he cares about is that since there are so many merchants from all over the world gathered in the Sihai Guild Hall, these merchants have to transport goods and people have to travel, so naturally the business of his horse and carriage shop is indispensable. If he takes a walk here, he might
If he can get a few long-term deals, even if he doesn't get any deals, it would be good to become familiar with him here. Who knows if there will be any cooperation in the future. To him, these businessmen are the sponsors, so make friends first.
Incense and love are always right.
"Boss Du, you also received the invitation. Haha, I'm a little surprised. With your quiet temperament, I thought I wouldn't see you here today!" A businessman who was familiar with him walked away with a smile.
Come and say hello to him.
"What do you mean I 'also' received the invitation? Am I, Du, not qualified to get this invitation?" Du Rufeng rolled his eyes. He was the most sensitive to these words. He came from a poor family and was afraid of being taken lightly.
It has become instinctive. When I heard this, I immediately frowned.
"Hahaha, I knew you must be anxious about this. I won't tell you anymore. I went to the back room to take a look. I heard that the price of raw silk has increased again. Let me tell you, how much money have I made less!
"The man walked away with a smile, but Du Rufeng was left feeling depressed.
Yes, most of the guests here have received invitations. Even if there is no invitation, they have been informed by the conference hall. Du Rufeng is really the kind of person who comes uninvited. Nanjing City received invitations
There were many businessmen who sent the invitations, but he was not included. Even though he was now rich, the people who sent the invitations didn't seem to treat him as a businessman at all.
The horse and carriage shop is not for buying and selling!
Although Du Rufeng is a little annoyed by this, he has no intention of changing his business direction. He is a person who accepts death more than he can chew. He understands the principle of biting off more than he can chew. If one thing is done to the extreme, it is better to do a little than anything else.
, the income will definitely not be less. Over the years, he has recognized this truth, so he has gone from being a coachman to driving a carriage for others, and now he is the owner of a large carriage and horse shop with nearly two hundred and two carriages.
Several more people came over to say hello one after another. They were all customers of Du Rufeng. They were now doing business with Du Rufeng. Although there were not many people saying hello, or in other words, there were not many at all, but the more this happened, Du Rufeng
The more enthusiastic Ru Feng is, the more than a hundred people are in this hall. Just from the business of these few acquaintances, he makes a lot of money every year, but here, there are piles of businessmen like this!
So, he started walking around, looking for people to talk to. The people in the hall were all businessmen, and they all paid attention to being friendly and making money. They didn't refuse to have this person who might be a comrade come over to chat for a few words. Suddenly,
Du Rufeng, this big meat ball, was rolling around in the hall, feeling a little like a fish in water.
"Who is that person? He is very active!" Qian Wubing, dressed in casual clothes, stood on the second floor, looking at the bustling people downstairs, and asked with a smile.
"It seems to be Lao Du from the south of the city. He is a horse and carriage dealer. You can tell by looking at his figure!" Beside him were Liu Zigu, Rong Shubo and the others. On this day, they were naturally very busy.
Come on, the only person who is with Qian Wubing at this moment is his friend Liu Zigu, whom Qian Wubing has recently met but their relationship has quickly warmed up. Now he can be regarded as an "unrequited" good friend. In the bull market, there are not many big construction projects, and the place is
It's so big, even if there is a lot of construction work, no one will throw money here. There are many places on the Qinhuai River where every inch of land is valuable. If the money is dropped in this place where birds don't lay eggs, there won't even be a sound.
However, in the bull market, there is always a shortage of homes for families. Thanks to the various guild halls, many wealthy businessmen do not mind setting up their own homes here. Firstly, it is convenient when walking around the guild halls. Secondly,
