The first thousand one hundred thirty-nine chapters candid
Chen Qing was not at all clueless about the details of major events. He knew that there must be important reasons for Liu Wei to come all the way to explain, and it must be a situation that was unfavorable to him.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Liu Wei to muddle through by saying, 'The Liu family is not in charge, so don't blame the Liu family if something goes wrong.'
Chen Qing's eyes gradually became sharper, and he had realized that there must be something fishy hidden in the purchase of the teahouse!
Liu Wei felt Chen Qing's sharp gaze, his heart trembled, and he could only sigh: "Your Highness, this is a long story!"
"Then speak slowly, we have time today."
Chen Qing's meaning is very clear. If he can't explain clearly, he can't even think of leaving today.
Liu Wei lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "The matter starts from five years ago. At that time, the leader Gao Qiu was old and stopped serving as the leader of Song Xing Club. Shi Guangping, the most powerful person, was replaced by Shi Guangping, who was less than four years old.
At ten years old and in the prime of life, everyone hopes that he can lead Song Xinghui to be better and stronger.
But soon he moved to Lin'an and wanted to put Song Xinghui's headquarters in Lin'an. This met with opposition from many families, but Shi Guangping insisted on his own way and moved Song Xinghui's headquarters to Lin'an."
"So in the past five years, you have only had two gatherings?" Chen Qing interjected and asked.
Liu Wei shook his head, "This is only one aspect, but it is not the main reason. The main reason is that Shi Guangping is too ambitious and greedy for power. He turned Song Xinghui into a stepping stone for himself. He wanted to climb up and infringed on other people.
Members’ interests.”
"You just seemed to say that the emperor has no interest in you and is suppressing your children from entering officialdom. Does Shi Guangping want to change this?"
"No! It would be fine if he was thinking about everyone, such as recommending everyone's children to study at Taixue, or recommending outstanding children to enter the officialdom, etc. But this is not the case. He has never done anything for everyone. On the contrary
All for his own sake.
For example, Baoji Cabinet Shop and Fengle House distribute about one million yuan in dividends every year. They have not distributed dividends to everyone for three consecutive years. It is nonsense to say that they are operating at a loss. Later we found out that he has also paid dividends to everyone in a row.
The dividends for three years were given to the emperor as military expenses, so the emperor made him Duke of Yue and Prince Shaobao. I heard that he is likely to be granted the title of magistrate. Isn’t this stepping on everyone to climb up?"
Chen Qing nodded, "Then what does he have to do with buying a teahouse?"
"The plan to purchase the teahouse was proposed by him. He wanted to take over the land of the teahouse, build a magnificent restaurant, and connect the two restaurants with a mid-air covered bridge, so that it would become a restaurant that could rival Lin'an Fengle Building.
The comparable Jingzhao Fengle Building is extremely luxurious inside, and its level of luxury even exceeds that of Hangzhou Fengle Building."
“It’s too luxurious!”
Chen Qing shook his head, "A restaurant is a place to eat, and no messy things can be mixed in. Besides, I am against luxury and advocate frugality. If you want to build such a big restaurant, the government will definitely not approve it!"
After a pause, Chen Qing sneered again: "I'm afraid Shi Guangping has bad intentions when he proposes to build such a luxury restaurant!"
"Your Highness, Shi Guangping reported this plan to the Emperor, calling it a plan to cut flesh with a dull knife, and it was approved by the Emperor!"
"This is not a dull knife, this is a soft knife. He wants to corrupt my men. He thinks so well. He is not afraid that I will send troops to seal it? Will it cost him nothing?"
Liu Wei's face suddenly turned pale. This was what his father feared the most. If it were cut off with one knife, not only would the entire restaurant be destroyed, but the Taibai Restaurant dominated by their family would also be destroyed.
His father's intention was that as long as the new restaurant could not be built, or the two restaurants could not be connected into one, and they could only operate separately, even if Chen Qing's knife fell, Taibai Restaurant would remain unscathed.
"Your Highness, please let Taibai Restaurant go!"
Seeing his nervous expression, Chen Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Jingzhao City will soon issue a height limit order. All shops and residential buildings in the city must not exceed two floors. Even if they are specially approved, they cannot exceed three floors. Then the floors above
The buildings are not allowed to be connected by bridges, so it is impossible for Taibai Restaurant and the newly built restaurant to be connected as one."
Liu Wei suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and asked quickly: "Is this a regulation for our new restaurant?"
Chen Qingdan said: "Of course not. This is a rule in Bianliang. Doesn't it also exist in Lin'an? The reason why Fengle Building can be built high is because it is located outside Yongjinmen. Among the restaurants in Lin'an City, none of them exceed three floors.
?”
This height limit order is really a plan to pull money from the bottom of the cauldron. The original plan was for the new building to be built seven stories high, and then the Taibai Building would be added three stories higher. Once completed, it would become the tallest twin towers in Jingzhao City and also become the city's tallest building.
The largest gold selling cave.
Now it is not allowed to build any higher buildings. It can only have three floors at most and cannot be connected by bridges. Aren’t you dumbfounded? The key is that the land area is not large. If it occupies an area of 20 acres, it is okay to build a courtyard-style restaurant. The actual area is
The land is only three acres, and a maximum of four small courtyards can be built. Even if the eight small courtyards of Taibai Restaurant are included, there are only twelve courtyards. Compared with the hundreds of houses in Lin'an Fengle Tower, Shi Guangping's blunt knife plan has completely failed.
"Excuse me, Your Highness, when will the height restriction order be promulgated?"
"If nothing else happens, it will be promulgated tomorrow."
Liu Wei suddenly understood that this height restriction order was really aimed at them.
Chen Qing smiled slightly again and said: "Young Master Liu will go back and tell your father and Lieutenant Gao that they should come to Jingzhao for a walk when they have time. I will accompany them personally!"
At the last moment, Chen Qing extended an olive branch.
........
Liu Wei said goodbye and left. Chen Qing paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his hands. The appearance of Song Xinghui caught Chen Qing by surprise, but it also made him see an opportunity. This is a force with considerable energy, especially with strong capital. If
Handled properly, they will become your own support.
It can be seen from Liu Wei's tone that they are not only dissatisfied with the current leader, but also deeply dissatisfied with Zhao Gou for grabbing their interests. Zhao Gou's attitude towards them may be the driving force to force them to go west.
Chen Qing then said to Wang Hao: "Liu Wei will give me a list of Song Xinghui's investments in Jingzhao City later. You send people to check it out, but don't alarm them, let alone scare them. I just want to understand the situation and understand what I mean.
?"
"Bizhang understands. I will inquire from the people in Zhuangzhaiya."
"This is a good idea!" Chen Qing praised.
"Your Highness, I have another suggestion."
"What do you suggest?"
Wang Hao said carefully: "If Your Highness wants to suspend the construction of the teahouse, there are many ways? Dredging the river is a good way. Remember clearly, the government has regulations. During the dredging of the river, no construction is allowed on the houses along the river. Generally, dredging of the river will take at least one day.
Come on! The teahouse will have to stop operations for a year."
Chen Qing smiled and shook his head, "We don't need to be so petty. It's a good thing that they want to build restaurants. My goal is just not to let them become the second Fengle Building. Lin'an's luxury style started from Fengle Building.
Zhao will never be allowed to appear, it is very simple, just issue a luxury restriction order, not only for new restaurants, but also for all public occasions."
