"Mr. Yang, don't worry, the shop has already started to be renovated. It has more than 20 acres of land. It's big enough."
Xu Bancheng said with a hint of pride: "This land is one of the best in Zhanjiang Prefecture."
Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "More than twenty acres of land is enough, but this area..."
"I'll take you to see it later? That's definitely the best location. No matter how good the location is, there won't be such a big open space."
Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "I mean, you don't need a good location."
"You don't need a good location?" Xu Bancheng asked doubtfully: "Isn't it necessary to choose a good location when doing business? Only in places with many people can business be done easily?"
Yang Xuan shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, when doing ordinary business, you must choose a good location with many people, but we are not doing business for passers-by. Our main users are merchants, and we should choose a more remote location.
Firstly, the cost is low, and secondly, through our management, remote areas can be turned into good locations."
Turn a remote area into a good area?
Xu Bancheng, who has been in business all his life, was a little confused.
"Shopkeeper Xu, let me ask you, if you say that buying a pound of meat costs thirty cents in the city, but you can buy it for three cents cheaper outside the city, do you think people will go outside the city?"
Xu Bancheng thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, if it's 10% cheaper, the people will never mind leaving the city."
"Then if there are certain discounts on all daily expenses, people will naturally flock to it. Even if this shop is outside the city, people will go there to make purchases."
Yang Xuan talked eloquently: "When people are willing to come here to purchase, this place will naturally become a good location, right?"
Xu Bancheng nodded involuntarily, but just after digesting this idea, Yang Xuan continued: "When this area becomes popular, we can also build shops, sell or sell them, and drive other industries, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation."
The concept Yang Xuan was talking about was a commercial complex. Such an avant-garde ideological impact immediately confused Xu Bancheng.
However, Xu Bancheng is indeed a shrewd businessman. After being slightly distracted, he woke up.
"According to what Mr. Yang said, this matter can be very promising, and the profit from selling the shop will be quite a lot." Xu Bancheng began to think: "If this matter is completed, a town can even be formed. In that case...
…”
Xu Bancheng could not find a suitable adjective, waving his hands with excitement.
"Shopkeeper Xu, please sit down and sit down."
"No, I have to ask them to stop the work quickly and rebuild it somewhere else."
Xu Bancheng said and cupped his hands towards Yang Xuan: "Mr. Yang, please sit down for a moment. Xu will come back when you go."
Looking at Xu Bancheng's hurried away figure, Yang Xuan nodded. It is this kind of vigor and determination that makes him a qualified businessman. No wonder he was able to start from a shop and reach the point where he is now called Xu Bancheng.
Xu Bancheng was in such a hurry that he came to the site where construction was under way and immediately asked the craftsmen to stop working and let them go back to rest. Then he hurried back home, ignored his wife's greeting, went directly into the house and got under the bed.
Mrs. Xu was startled when she entered the house, but she soon came to her senses, looked outside the house, and closed the door.
Xu Bancheng carefully dug out a wall brick in the corner under the bed and took out a small camphor wood box.
But when he thought about it again, he found that he couldn't turn around and crawled back and got stuck by the edge of the bed.
"Madam, madam, pull me out quickly."
His wife had no choice but to grab his ankles and drag him out.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? What are you doing with these land deeds all of a sudden?"
Xu Bancheng didn't say anything, he just blew the dust off the box, took out a small key from his neck, and opened the camphor wood box.
Inside is a thick stack of paper, all of which are the land deeds he earned over many years of business.
While looking through the land deed, he said: "Madam, this time I have met a noble person. If this deal is completed, our Xu family will have food and drink for at least three generations."
Mrs. Xu was also virtuous, so she didn't ask much questions when she saw this situation: "Master, just do it and leave the house to me."
"Hey, I know that Madam is my good wife, so I can rest assured that I can leave the house to you." Xu Bancheng said as he suddenly leaned over and took a sip: "Madam, just wait for my good news."
Although Mrs. Xu was nearly forty years old, she couldn't help but blush with embarrassment: "Why are you so crazy? It's bright and clear, and you're not afraid that the servants will see the joke."
"Hey, who dares to laugh at the wife I am marrying?"
Xu Bancheng said as he walked out the door.
In the private room of the restaurant, Xu Bancheng held several land deeds and spread them out in front of Yang Xuan: "Mr. Yang, take a look, which piece of land is the most suitable?"
Yang Xuan looked at it and praised: "Shopkeeper Xu is really courageous. This is the person who does big things. Yang likes to deal with people like you."
"Mr. Yang is too praiseworthy. As a person who has been doing business for 20 to 30 years, I still rely on Mr. Yang's words to wake me up. I will ask for more advice from Mr. Yang in the future."
"Don't dare, don't dare, let's make progress together."
After some selection, we finally selected a piece of land to the east outside the city, covering hundreds of acres. It was not far from the city gate and less than a hundred miles from the coast. It would be more convenient for both water and land transportation in the future.
"Okay, then this is the land. I happen to know the owner of the land next to it. If it comes in handy, I can buy his land as well."
Yang Xuan pondered: "This is hundreds of acres of fertile land, is Shopkeeper Xu willing to give it up?"
"What's the point of not giving up? Xu admires the idea that Mr. Yang mentioned before." Xu Bancheng raised his glass: "In addition, I especially admire you, Mr. Yang. Even though Xu is a bit older, you are still like this."
The way of doing business is far inferior to Mr. Yang."
"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Xu has given you the award." Yang Xuan also raised his glass: "Since we have the same opinion, I wish this matter an immediate success."
"Prosperous wealth!"
Yang Xuan admired Xu Bancheng's vigorous and resolute attitude towards work. The next day the workers rushed to the designated place, started leveling the land and started construction.
At the same time, in the Yingtian Palace Imperial City, in the study room of the East Palace.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking at the memorial from Qiu Jun, the magistrate of Qiongzhou Prefecture. The content of the memorial is a report on his work.
It writes what he has done in Qiongzhou Prefecture in the past eight years, what happened, and what achievements he made.
His Royal Highness is about to doze off. He has read countless official documents like this. They still report on their work once a year. Qiu Jun's report on his work is eight years old. It's like an old lady's foot wrap. It's smelly.
And long.
It was not until the end of the memorial that I saw the content related to His Royal Highness King Qiong.
"This third brother, Gu, seems to be living a good life in Qiongzhou Mansion." His Highness the Crown Prince put down the memorial and said to Kong Wei who was standing aside: "He actually has the thought to renovate the government office of Qiongzhou Mansion."
Kong Wei had seen this memorial and quickly answered: "After all, the third prince now controls Qiongzhou, and the government office of Qiongzhou Prefecture is also his face. Besides, the third prince has many properties and is not short of money."
His Highness the Crown Prince immediately thought of His Highness King Qiong and the shares of Shengfa Company. His eyes narrowed with a cold light. He could not touch these shares or the third prince's property.
After all, the Zongren Mansion was in the hands of Prince Hui. He would not dare to challenge the authority of the Zongren Mansion before he inherited the throne.
But he didn't want his third brother to live so freely.
"The sea ban has been announced to the world for a long time. Why do some people still dare to defy the court's laws and go to sea privately?"
