"What is this? I've never seen it before!"

"that is!"

Discussions began to spread among the crowd, but Yan Zhiqing on the stage remained very calm.

When he escaped and went to Jinling City, the families he had the most contact with were the Gu family and the Su family.

Especially the couple Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang who shuttled between the two families. They were knowledgeable and experienced. He had heard them talk about many things overseas, including the three-dimensional city.

At that time, he just treated it as an interesting story, but now, he did the same thing in Cezhou, thousands of miles away, and it actually attracted the attention of so many people. It turns out that in this business, you have to have what others don't, and be better than others.

So gradually, he began to gain some understanding.

After everyone's emotions became more and more intense, Yan Zhiqing slowly spoke.

"This time, I was lucky enough to take over the land east of the city. I originally wanted to expand my strength in Cezhou. As you all know, there are three best places in Daxing now, Sui'an City, Jinling City, and Yinzhou. They either have the power of the capital, or the wealth since ancient times, or they are the results of the current emperor's hard work, but Cezhou City has none of these."

Hearing his words, the people nodded silently.

It only took them a dozen years to go from nothing to something, from poverty to the present day of food and clothing and affluence. Compared with the past, of course, the progress is rapid, but compared with other places in the Daxing Dynasty, it seems unremarkable.

However, Cezhou has experienced too many wars, so the people here have a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat in their bones. If they have never experienced abundance, they may not have such a strong desire for it, but now, everyone hopes to get more and better things to make their lives more comfortable.

Therefore, when Yan Zhiqing said this, it really whetted everyone's appetite, and everyone was looking forward to his next words.

"Cezhou has developed very well with the help of merchants, but it is still weaker than cities like Jinling City that have been prosperous for hundreds of years. However, it is in a low point, and all roads are leading to the top. Therefore, what I have to do is to build a nest to attract the phoenix. The glory of this eastern city is not created by me. It also depends on the abilities of everyone present and those who are optimistic about Cezhou."

These words made everyone present a little excited. Seeing the hope gradually burning in everyone's eyes, Yan Zhiqing smiled slightly.

"So, I will complete the construction of this eastern part of the city within three years, and you can all subscribe to it when the time comes. However, if you pay half of the deposit in advance, you can choose the location, and after the completion, the subsequent costs can be reduced by 10%."

This statement caused a lot of discussion among the people.

Since ancient times, buying and selling and leasing have all been done by exchanging money for goods, but I have never heard of paying half of the deposit in advance. Isn't this just trying to get something for nothing?

But when Yan Zhiqing on the stage said this, he looked calm and composed, and he didn't look like a liar at all, which made the people a little undecided.

"What about the price? Sir, you haven't told me the exact price yet?"

"Yes, yes, yes, tell us what you want to buy. Don't buy something that you can't even afford if you spend all your money. If we're still here thinking about it, won't we be laughed at?"

Hahahaha, a burst of laughter came from the crowd.

Then the butler took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and started reading.

"Including the 12 shops with courtyards on Jinli Street, each shop will earn 880,000 taels. Including the 24 shops with courtyards on Ru'an Street, each shop will earn 660,000 taels. Including the 48 shops with courtyards on Qingchun Street, each shop will earn 330,000 taels. For shops that are further out, there are only shops without courtyards, and each shop will earn 220,000 taels."

It is very clear.

However, such a price made many ordinary people present gasp. With their current ability, they couldn't even afford the shops outside, so how could they afford the 12th shop on Jinli Street in the center? That was a prime location! The common people couldn't afford it, but that didn't mean the merchants present couldn't afford it either.

To be honest, this price is not high!

Nowadays in Cezhou City, the Twelve Shops on Jinli Street, including the courtyards, are worth at least 1.5 million taels, so it is not difficult to buy them.

But what they are most concerned about is whether the area east of the city can be heated up.

Therefore, he did not say anything and just watched silently.

Yan Zhiqing looked at the crowd who were so enthusiastic just now and now seemed as if they were hit by frost. He did not make too much announcement, but after taking a look at some of the "strange" faces among them, he felt calm in his heart.

"The Han family owns three of the twelve shops on Jinli Street. We have brought the deposit. Where can we sign and seal the deal?"

"The Du family owns three of the twelve shops on Jinli Street. Master Yan, does it count if you choose the location yourself?"

"nature."

Afterwards, Yan Zhiqing glanced at the butler and saw that he immediately arranged for the servant to carry the table up. The documents, paper and pen were all prepared early, so the two of them stepped forward to sign on behalf of the boss, and then handed over the silver bill.

In an instant, half of the twelve stalls were gone.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The people present were becoming more and more eager to watch the fun, while those merchants who had not yet made a move were becoming a little anxious.

These two companies are the largest merchants in Cezhou. Although the owners have never shown up, there is no business that cannot be done as long as they do it.

Therefore, Cezhou and their two families could be said to have risen rapidly by helping each other.

They came up and subscribed for half of the shares without blinking an eye. Doesn't this give everyone enough confidence?

"What should we do? Should we follow?"

"This Master Yan is very famous in Jinling City. His business is probably bigger than ours combined. He won't use the land to cheat us out of our money, right?"

"I'm afraid your little money is not enough to fill the gaps in their teeth!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several merchants who had dealings with the Han and Du families nodded, and after looking at each other, they all made a decision.

Half of the deposit was not a difficult matter for them. Since both the Han and Du families were optimistic about the place, if they could get involved, they would be able to have a better life in the future.

But if you fail, the money will just be a lesson learned.

Therefore, after having this idea, there was no delay.

"It's a great thing that Master Yan can come to Cezhou to develop. Although we have never heard of the matter of paying a deposit in advance, since the elder brothers of the Han and Du families have approved of it, let's help Master Yan gain popularity!"

After saying that, he also stepped forward to sign and stamp the seal. At this time, the other six shops on Jinli Road were divided up among the six families, one at a time.
