Living in Chang'an City with 10 million Tongbao coins and having a stable home in the imperial capital of the Tang Empire is something that many people cannot imagine. So as soon as the news spread, a large number of people came to inquire about the details.
Long Junhai knew that something like this would happen, so he personally gave a special explanation. However, this kind of thing is so horrifying after all, so many people still don't believe it.
Of course, there were also people who were the first to try something new. Most of these people were migrant workers from outside the city who were in urgent need of a stable home. After all, just renting a house in Chang'an City was an astronomical figure, and staying in an inn was extremely expensive. Most of them could not come up with 100 million yuan, but it was very easy for a family to come up with 10 million yuan.
When the first customer moved into the high-rise building built by Long Junhai, the news gradually became a reality. No one doubted that it was a false advertisement anymore. In addition, Long Junhai hired a lot of manpower and material resources for publicity, so basically everyone in Bowang City knew about it.
Selling the house became much easier after that. Long Junhai didn't have to worry about it at all. There were large numbers of people coming to buy the house.
For cultivators, a training ground of one hundred acres is not considered large, but a training cave of ten square meters is not small either. One hundred square meters of living space is completely enough for a pair of Taoist couples to live in, because basically every pair of Taoist couples has no children, so the living space is already not small.
In addition, Long Junhai also imitated many technological technologies on Earth, such as water, electricity, elevators, automation, etc. These can basically be handled with a formation, and there will be no problems running them for thousands of years.
The people of the Tang Empire have always loved these novel and luxurious things. Only in this way can they show their status. It is difficult to understand why people who can actually fly choose to take the elevator.
In less than half a month, all the units in the first phase of Long Junhai's project were sold out, so he immediately started the second phase of the project, hoping to recover the funds as soon as possible. After all, he needed to ensure that the funds in his bank could flow at a high speed.
At the same time, the news that Long Junhai made a lot of money also spread like wildfire. Whether it was spread intentionally or unintentionally, this incident made the merchants in the entire Chang'an City unable to sit still. After all, he made tens of billions in just one or two months. This speed of making money was much faster than the country's collection of taxes!
Therefore, major real estate agencies began to compete to cooperate with Long Junhai. However, this time Long Junhai was obviously much tougher. He would not choose to purchase the house at the original price, but must give a 20% discount on the original basis.
A 20% discount on a house is actually a very harsh condition. After all, losing 20% of the money is a very considerable amount!
But some things are so wonderful. The more Long Junhai lowers the price, the more anxious these agents are to sell. Even if they make less money, they still want to have a relationship with Long Junhai. After all, they have already lost an opportunity. If they want to survive, they must seize this opportunity!
In fact, there were some people who were jealous of Long Junhai. They already had money and a lot of land and real estate in Chang'an City, so they wanted to learn from Long Junhai and build such high-rise buildings.
However, many people had just finished building their houses when someone came to forcibly demolish them! This was because the regulations of the Tang Dynasty were that houses could not exceed six stories, and each floor could not exceed ten feet!
But this made many people dissatisfied. Why could Long Junhai build a building nearly a hundred meters high?
However, someone quickly gave the answer, because Long Junhai was acting on imperial orders, which meant that in the entire Tang Empire, only Long Junhai had the power to do so! This meant he had the Emperor's backing!
As a result, all the major businessmen were even more afraid to offend Long Junhai, because they all knew that he was working for the emperor, so no matter how much they envied him, it was useless.
Long Junhai now has a monopoly on the real estate industry. As his projects are sold at high prices again and again and he makes a lot of money, some civil and military officials are beginning to become jealous and gossip about him!
In the Golden Throne Hall, after Xue Rengui finished reporting on the situation on the Immortal and Demonic Battlefield, someone immediately reported, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has received numerous joint letters of denunciation from the people today, claiming that General Shenlong's reckless construction of skyscrapers is hindering the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"
In fact, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had heard this news a long time ago, and he was not surprised at all to receive this memorial.
"Lord Liu, I asked General Long to do this. While it will temporarily alter the feng shui of Chang'an City, it won't affect the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty. Furthermore, to boost the Tang Dynasty's fortunes and ease the nation's financial burden, they've dedicated 30 billion yuan to support military development. Besides General Long, who else could have such generosity? You're all very wealthy. Now that the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, don't you want to contribute generously?"
After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said this, the Minister of Revenue immediately shut up. After all, he couldn't possibly come up with 30 billion to support military construction. There were few people like Li Bai who would carelessly squander hundreds of billions of dollars, and more than 90% of them didn't have the deep pockets that Li Bai did! For ordinary court officials, having 30 to 50 billion was already considered very wealthy!
Seeing that no one said anything more, Emperor Xuanzong smiled and said to Li Bai, "Lord Li, General Shenlong should be almost done with the latest phase of the project, right? Ask him to take some time out in the next couple of days to report to me on the progress of his work."
"Your humble servant obeys your order!" Li Bai smiled. In fact, he knew in his heart that the main reason why Emperor Xuanzong of Tang wanted to summon Long Junhai so much was for money!
That afternoon, Li Bai led Long Junhai into the palace to report on his work.
"Your Majesty, I, Long Junhai, present myself to the audience!" Long Junhai bowed slightly to Emperor Xuanzong and continued, "Recently, my real estate development has yielded some results. The work is progressing very smoothly. The first batch of land acquired has been completely redeveloped. After deducting costs, the profit is roughly 100 billion."
"Is that all? As far as I know, your total sales should be around one trillion! After deducting the costs, you should be able to earn hundreds of billions!" Tang Xuanzong was not talking nonsense. He was also secretly sending people to inquire about this matter. Otherwise, he would not have spoken for Long Junhai for the first time, because this matter really makes money!
"Your Majesty is right. The total sales volume is indeed that much, but the cost is too high. You should also know that an ordinary house in Chang'an City costs about 10 billion yuan on average. In addition, I can only make money after selling my house!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
