Chapter 88 Fishing Project

Mao Geng doesn't have the ability of an architectural designer and cannot draw beautiful and realistic renderings, but he can finally draw three-dimensional schematic diagrams. Of course, Mao Geng himself is not satisfied with the three-dimensional axonometry he has drawn. However, Mao Geng's three-dimensional schematic diagrams are already a unique skill in this era. Anyway, Zou Yalian, a client can understand at a glance. Seeing him looking at the three-dimensional sketches he drew like he admires artistic masterpieces, Mao Geng felt proud.

The luxurious plan designed by Mao Geng is just a muddle of Song Dynasty palaces and later buildings, but in Zou Yalian's eyes, it is a very clever design. From Zou Yalian's state of being rewarded by Zou Yalian, Mao Geng suddenly realized that this was an era in which the world admired Song Dynasty, and he could definitely take it.

Originally, in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, such as the Great Song Dynasty, such as Zhenwax and Chameng, the Song people must have done it well. Although Zou Yalian was a member of the Chameng royal family, he also had such a complex of obsessed with the Song Dynasty. In Zou Yalian's eyes, Mao Geng was the most advanced representative of the advanced culture of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, only by proposing one's style can the Chameng people's yearning for advanced culture, just like the fascination of later generations of people with designs such as pants.

Just as later generations did not dare to argue with the masterpieces of foreign designers, Zou Yalian did not make any constructive comments on Mao Geng's design. Mao Geng claimed that if the most luxurious architectural plan was chosen, after the building was completed, the Chameng Royal Palace would be able to look down on Annan and Zhenwax, and even compared with the Great Song Palace. In fact, Mao Geng was still a modest statement, and it should be said that the Great Song Palace could not be compared with it. After Mao Geng said this, Zou Yalian could no longer suppress his yearning for this gorgeous building, and secretly made up his mind to use this most luxurious plan.

Zou Yalian thought about it in his mind, imagining what it would be like to see this gorgeous and exquisite building. Not to mention the competition with Zhenwax for other aspects, at least in the grandeur of the palace, Chameng is far ahead in the competition of the Three Kingdoms. Hehe, my cousin may feel that he has surpassed the two opponents. He enjoys his spirit and stops the army. Well, it is not impossible.

Mao Geng didn't know that Zou Yalian was understanding the essence of the spiritual victory method of the Song Dynasty. He only said that Zou Yalian was an ignorant playboy. He was greedy for enjoyment and led to a strong anti-war sentiment, so he had the idiotic idea of ​​guiding the king to stop the war with his arrogant and extravagant nature. Mao Geng thought to himself, if it were not for the king's approval, what kind of ability would Zou Yalian have to make a decision!

Mao Geng thought of the problem extremely complicatedly, and was a little worried about gains and losses, so he was also a little lenient in the subsequent quotation.

Zou Yalian had no objection to calculating the cost of the abbot. The luxurious plan is naturally the highest cost per abbot, but Zou Yalian didn't even frown. It seemed that the price he paid was not ruthless enough, far less ruthless than the ruthlessness of the foreigners in later generations, and ashamed!

One Song is about 31.2 cm, one zhang is 3 meters and one square meter is about 10 square meters. Mao Geng offered the most luxurious plan, which is a construction area of ​​2,000 square meter, and the price of 160,000 taels of silver. One square meter cost is eighty taels of silver, and one tael of silver at this time was equivalent to three jin of coins of money, so the cost of one square meter of money reached 240 jin, which is exactly twenty-four times that of the most affordable building.

From Zou Yalian's standpoint, the price of imported freight from the Song Dynasty to Chameng will be at least several times or dozens of times. Most of the materials used to build this new palace are imported from the Song Dynasty, and people will also help you with design and construction in one time. This price is not expensive at all.

After discussing the price, we will enter the specific operation.

As Mao Geng expected, Zou Yalian could not make a complete decision on the construction of the palace. But Zou Yalian had a solution, so he immediately proposed a fishing plan. Zou Yalian's idea was to divide the project into two to three phases, and invest 50,000 taels of silver in the first phase, and strive to complete the second phase 110,000 taels in one go. If it doesn't work, then invest another 50,000 taels in the second phase and 60,000 taels in the third phase. As soon as he heard this plan, Mao Geng couldn't help but look at this customer with admiration. This is a smart fishing project. Mao Geng has seen many fishing projects that are constantly investing in later generations. He didn't expect that this Chamber of Commerce was also so wise!

Mao Geng learned from Cai Jianwen that this time Zou Yalian came to the Song Dynasty, and the lords and factions of Champa had prepared enough silver for activities. As long as the Song Dynasty could send envoys to Champa to mediate, they would not hesitate to deal with them. It is said that they had prepared no less than 50,000 taels of silver. Perhaps this was Zou Yalian's confidence.

Anyway, the investment in the first phase of the project is guaranteed, Mao Geng calculated that the profit of the project of 50,000 taels of silver and 150,000 taels of money will be at least 80,000 taels. In about half a year, he can make a profit of 80,000 taels. Even if the next phase of the second and third phases are not paid, it is enough to be satisfactory.

After finding out the details of Zou Yalian, Mao Geng proposed to pay 10,000 taels of silver in advance as the start-up payment of the project, and Zou Yalian proposed to be guaranteed by Cai Jianwen. Cai Jianwen knew Mao Geng's strength and of course he was willing to guarantee it.

At this point, there have been talks about the Chameng project, but in Mao Geng's mind, who to send to Chameng to be responsible for this overseas project was not decided for a while. In addition, whether the employees of West China Construction Company are willing to go overseas is also a worrying matter. Chen Liang is not in Lin'an at this moment, so he has to discuss a solution with Chen Liang to solve this problem.

Zou Yalian was particularly excited about the fact that he could have done this super building. In the words of the Song people, this so-called loss of the east corner of the world was not in vain. Therefore, Zou Yalian insisted on a banquet for Mao Geng Wenyuan in the evening. During the chat, it turned out that Zou Yalian was also one of Wenyuan's readers. It was said that since the release of "Xinbao", there have been sporadic "Xinbao" to be spread to Chameng. Before the release of "Xinbao", Hong Mai's "Yijianzhi" was also circulated in Chameng. However, "Yijianzhi" was written in classical Chinese and composed of small stories that were irrelevant. It was far less satisfying to read the serial novel written in vernacular by Wenyuan and Chen Liang. Zou Yalian can be regarded as a loyal reader of Wenyuan and Chen Liang. After coming to the Song Dynasty this time, this man also spent some money to collect the "Xinbao".

Mao Geng felt it was really hard to refuse the kindness of overseas friends. He didn't expect that this gentleman was still a fan of Wenyuan. Well, it would be better to obey orders than respect. According to Cai Jianwen's meaning, the place he chose would naturally be Sanyuanlou.

The four people were about to go to Sanyuan Tower, and a maid came in and whispered something in Mao Geng's ear. Mao Geng stood up and said:

"Two guys sit for a while, then they will come down."

Mao Geng came to the reception room and saw Han Tuozhou at a glance. He quickly greeted him and said:

"It turned out that Lord Han was here, which made Peng Feng shine. What did Lord Han know about it?"

Han Tuozhou smiled and said:

"If you are also Pengshi here, the official's mansion will not even be called a humble house."

When Mao Geng heard Han Tuozhou's words, he immediately chewed the meaning of it. He thought that Han Tuozhou also wanted to build a new building of such a style. He thought that Han Tuozhou gave him two beautiful maids to the relationship. Of course, we have to repay him. Free is probably not possible, but the 20% discount can be given to Han Tuozhou. If Han Tuozhou bargained hard, 30% off. As he thought about it, he said:

"If Lord Han likes the style of this house, West China Construction Company can also build one for Lord Han. Chen Liang is the director of West China Construction Company. I think there is no problem to give Lord Han some discounts."

After Mao Geng said this, he felt a little blushing. He said he would give him a beautiful maid, without any ambiguity. But he was still like he was talking about business with others, and his state seemed to be a little worse. This is not good for those who came from the business community.

But Han Tuozhou laughed and said:

"Oh, I took a look and liked the style of your building very much. It's good. I also want to build a new building of this style, but it's not now. Now, I still focus on attacking Taiwan. I will not consider building a building for the time being."

Mao Geng felt a little ashamed when he heard this, and said oh, looking a little helpless, thinking that we really underestimated Han Tuozhou's career aspirations.

In a blink of an eye, Han Tuozhou's face suddenly became solemn, and he said seriously:

"I heard from someone that the royal family member of Chameng came to you. I said Mao Geng, why are you so confused? At this time, there were rumors in the court that you were not good for you. You did not drink and have fun at home, but instead went to provoke the people from Chameng!"

Mao Geng was suddenly shocked when he heard this, thinking that this Zou, a surnamed from Chameng, had been under the surveillance of the Song Dynasty, so why didn't he expect it?

Han Tuozhou continued:

"I said Mao Geng, I heard that the Jin people are also looking for opportunities to contact you, so you must be careful!"

Mao Geng looked at Han Tuozhou with a peek, feeling that Han Tuozhou was indeed concerned about his more ingredients, so he said:

"Thank you, Lord Han, for your reminder, Xiaoke understands."

Han Tuozhou smiled and asked again:

"You won't interfere in the matter of Champa City! People in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty are afraid that they will not be able to avoid it. You should be open to interacting with this person, and you are not afraid of ruining your future! What have you all talked about?"

Upon hearing this, Mao Geng complained about the Song Dynasty's diplomatic inaction, but Han Tuozhou obviously misunderstood himself, so he quickly informed Han Tuozhou of Zou Yalian's intention to build a large-scale construction in Chameng City, and of course he did not hide the intention of Zou Yalian's move. After all, Mao Geng hoped that the Song Dynasty's officials would not obstruct the deal.

Han Tuozhou smiled, and it was obvious that he became much more relaxed, and asked with a smile:

"I said Mao Geng, I think you have made a lot of money, and you still want to make more money all day long. You won't let go of the money from this extra country! Tell me, how much can this deal make?"

Mao Geng had to report to the truth:

"If it's good, you can get 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and no matter how bad you are, you can earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. You can also pay a tax for the Song Dynasty. The official will not stop this matter!"

Han Tuozhou waved his hand and said:

"As long as you don't get involved in the political affairs of Chameng in the name of the official, who will stop you! The court not only couldn't help but encourage business transactions, but instead encouraged them very much. I don't have to worry about this. I just worry that you don't understand the affairs of the officialdom. You are now an official, and you must pay attention to your identity when dealing with people from other countries."

After Han Tuozhou said this, Mao Geng was in his stomach. But then Mao Geng was a little unwilling to accept it, so he suggested to Han Tuozhou on the grounds that he did not want the city war to affect the project:

"In fact, in the opinion of Xiaoke, it is not impossible for the court to send envoys to preside over peace talks between Chameng and Zhenwax. After all, Chameng and Zhenwax are both vassal states of the Song Dynasty at least in name. Secondly, Annan has eroded the territory of the Song Dynasty over the years, which is not a friendly country. What the Song Dynasty is most willing to see is that Chameng south of Annan can appropriately restrain Annan. If Chameng competes against Annan in the south, Annan will be much more honest. In the current situation, Chameng and Zhenwax snipe and clam are fighting, Annan fisherman gains benefits, and Annan loses the burden, and he will threaten the Song Dynasty. Lord Han, in the opinion of Xiaoke, the Song Dynasty should make some diplomatic achievements and promote a situation that is beneficial to our Song Dynasty."

Han Tuozhou nodded, agreeing with Mao Geng's statement in his heart, and sighed again and said:

"Alas! For the three vassal states, Annan, Chameng and Zhenwa, they have been letting them fight for so many years. It was still a matter of sending envoys to mediate the dispute many years ago. The court will never interfere in their dispute this time."

Speaking of this, Han Tuozhou changed his tone and said with a smile:

"However, it is not convenient for the official to come forward, but there is someone who can try it."

When Mao Geng heard this, he immediately became eager and asked:

"Oh, who is this person?"

Han Tuozhou laughed and said cheerfully:

"This person is Chen Liang. Isn't he the director of your West China Construction Company? He is not an official, but Chen Liang's name is well-known in the Song Dynasty. When he arrived in Cham City, he thought that the royal family in Cham City would not be slow to treat Chen Liang. If Chen Liang was willing to go, it might be of some effect. Haha, it would be good to try your luck!"
