Chapter 10 Pre-sale of real estate
The sales office is a two-story wooden building that was completed within a few days. Whether it is the appearance or the interior decoration, it looks rather crude.
At this time, Xu Qilin and Ma Dami were having tea and chatting on the second floor.
Although I admire Xu Qilin's wonderful idea of pre-sale of the house, Ma Dami is still a little doubtful. After all, this is a new thing, but a space that has not been built yet. With a few leaflets, someone came to buy it?
So, there is nothing important after the court today. Ma Da rode a horse out of the city and came to visit first.
Today, it is also the pre-sale display. On the first floor, I came to see it. I really want to buy a house, and I have inquire about the price and delivery date. There are quite a lot of people in all kinds of people.
When Ma Dami saw the miniature model of the building on the first floor, all his original doubts were relieved.
Buildings of all sizes are carved from wood, lined up from east to west, with the south being numbered as South One and South Two, and the north being North One and North Two.
According to the number, the specific content of the building, what area, floor, price, etc. are pasted on the other wall.
In this way, it is not full of emptiness. I can only guess what the house floor will look like in the future, which is clear at a glance.
Moreover, there are more than 100 buildings on both sides of the main road, but only half of them are pre-sale, and they are of all sizes. The remaining buildings are also clearly stated. After completion, they will only be rented but not sold. They will be auctioned publicly. The rental contract will be signed every two years.
Smart people immediately understand the meaning: one is one investment and lifelong benefits; the other is to follow the market, and rents fluctuate.
Not to mention the lifelong benefits, even if you have been doing business for more than ten years, or even in a shorter period of time, the money you buy a house can be almost offset from the rent. Will it be equivalent to saving a house fee in vain?
Another point is that people who come to visit have to admire the operator's calculations.
According to the regulations for buying a house, pre-sale will be opened the day after tomorrow. If only one person comes to buy a house, it will naturally be sold at the price; if there are multiple people competing for a house, then I’m sorry, bid for it, the higher the price will be.
This is somewhat similar to the hunger marketing in later generations, artificially reducing the quantity of goods and creating the illusion of "supply and demand".
But it is not an illusion. I am afraid that it can only be tested in the market and in terms of the number of houses purchased.
Ma Dami accompanied Xu Qilin to take a look at it on the first floor, and most of his original concerns were eliminated. In this way, even he felt that it was not easy to buy a shop. Not only were there not many houses, but he was also very likely to compete with others.
Ma Dami may not be able to explain modern terms, but buying means making money, which seems to be a similar mentality.
I felt relieved now, and Ma Dami was invited upstairs by Xu Qilin, served tea and started chatting.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the trend of drinking tea was limited to the southeast and southwest. There were very few people drinking tea in the north, and most of them were concentrated in temple monks.
However, tea making technology has improved compared with the Western Han Dynasty, and cake tea has been developed, which is made by pressing it by steaming green, which retains the aroma and contained substances of the tea very well.
Xu Qilin bought cake tea from the temple, but did not use the method of sautéing tea at that time, that is, cooking tea, but used the method of making tea. It was also called "Cooking Tea in the Song Dynasty."
Ma Dami watched Xu Qilin crush the cake and tea into pieces, put it into a tea bowl, inject a small amount of boiling water into a paste, then inject boiling water, stir it with a tea simmer, and the tea powder gradually floats up to form porridge noodles.
In fact, this is already very similar to matcha. Anyway, Xu Qilin is too lazy to study it. It tastes good if he makes it tastes good. Then he is an expert and a master. Who hasn't made the tea saint Lu Yu born yet, and who hasn't made the tea that originated in the Song Dynasty appear yet!
Ma Dami took the tea soup that Xu Qilin held in both hands, sucked it gently, savored it carefully, and smiled and said, "Qi Lin's method of making tea is indeed novel. It tastes good."
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Drinking tea can help you be healthy. I am a lazy person. If you don't have the cumbersomeness of making tea, you can use this method of brewing, which has a unique taste."
Ma Dami smiled and said, "Qi Lin is always unique, but he is used in practice, which is rare."
Xu Qilin said: "I also asked the merchants in the city to ask them to help purchase tea from all over the south. When it is shipped, I will give it to Brother Ma for daily drinking."
Ma Dami bowed to express his gratitude, and said with some uncertainty: "I'm not hiding Qi Lin, I have diabetes and whether it's suitable for drinking tea, and I have to ask the doctor for consultation."
Diagnosis?!
Xu Qilin blinked and thought for a while. It seemed that it was what later generations called diabetes?
Even after more than a thousand years, diabetes is still an incurable disease. The best way to do this is to delay and maintain the current medical level!
Seeing Xu Qilin frowning and thinking, Ma Zhou said disrespectfully: "Qi Lin doesn't have to think about it, this disease is not serious."
Xu Qilin didn't immediately summon the soul to take the prescription for Ma Da's secret pulse. He could do anything, so he wouldn't be a monster?
"This—" Xu Qilin said hesitantly: "I heard that people with this disease should eat less sweets, less rice and less alcohol. As for drinking tea, it seems to be okay."
Ma Dami nodded with a smile, not wanting to discuss the treatment with Xu Qilin. He didn't understand, and he also thought Xu Qilin wouldn't understand.
"Your Majesty gave Qi Lin several volumes of "Guanzi" yesterday. Does Qi Lin know its meaning?" Ma Zhou drank tea and changed the topic.
Xu Qilin guessed, "Your Majesty may have heard of a pre-sale house for fundraising and building. He praised him for his good business, so he could learn from his wise Guanzi and make more progress!"
Ma Zhou gently put down the tea bowl and said, "It's okay for Qi Lin to think so. But do you know that Your Majesty may still have expectations?"
"I would like to hear the details." Xu Qilin bowed and asked for advice.
During this period, Xu Qilin is only busy with real estate, but he really doesn't know the things in the court.
This is not good, and the major domestic and international affairs are not clear. His Majesty Li Er's psychology and intentions do not analyze and judge, and the highest instructions are not carefully considered and understood. How can he still be able to do it?
Xu Qilin made self-criticism, reviewed his mistakes of not caring about social development or national affairs, and listened carefully to Ma Da Seo talk about several major events that have happened recently.
Tubo sent envoys to propose marriage, and this matter involved the country's policies and guidelines, which were not something Xu Qilin could control.
Just imagine, even the emperor and the ministers do not think that this marriage granting is humiliating. You are passionately exaggerating and saying "no tribute, no compensation, no marriage, no marriage". Isn't that deliberately distorting the difference between marriage granting and marriage granting? Are you looking for a draw by yourself?
Of course, it can be operated in the matter of giving marriage to Tubo. At least, we cannot send so many skilled craftsmen to Tubo to give such useful good books.
