Chapter 153: Auctioning the Cement Workshop
Back in Yuxuan Pavilion, Ying Yu successively called Liu Ji and Shen Wansan to explain some things, and then got busy again.
Although the disaster situation in Changsha and Lujiang counties has eased somewhat.
But the real difficulty is post-disaster reconstruction.
You should know that most of the houses in this era were mud houses.
After a flood, countless houses collapsed in the two counties.
Since it needs to be rebuilt, naturally Ying Yu will not let the people live in mud houses anymore.
So he set his sights on merchants from Great Qin.
What Ying Yu has to do this time is auction.
Let merchants participate in Da Qin's major projects in the form of auctions.
After several generations of accumulation, the merchants of Qin Dynasty were very wealthy.
Once they invest their money in construction, the effects they can achieve are absolutely unimaginable.
Projects such as the Great Wall and Qinzhidao cannot be handed over to these businessmen for the time being.
Even if Ying Yu wanted to give it, they wouldn't dare to accept it.
However, the task of rebuilding Changsha and Lujiang counties can be given to them.
Nowadays, the merchants of Da Qin follow Ying Yu's lead. As long as he says a word, these merchants will definitely go all out.
Moreover, this time, Ying Yu also showed them the real benefits.
That is cement.
Cement has not yet become popular, and any businessman with some brains can see how valuable it is.
...
In the east of Xianyang City, in a manor.
Here lives Wushiluo, who is famous for its animal husbandry.
At this moment, in the manor, Wu Yuan, the leader of the Wushi clan, was in a daze.
The Wushi clan was originally from Longxi. In order to avoid the war, the whole clan moved to the relatively stable Shu County.
The reason why Wu Yuan is in Xianyang is because their Wu family has just donated a huge amount of money and materials.
For such a good thing as being able to show one's face and make friends with His Highness the Crown Prince, Wu Yuan, as the clan leader, of course had to come in person.
But he never expected that just now he got a piece of news.
Said that His Royal Highness the Prince would recruit cement workshop partners through auction.
When he heard the news, Wu Yuan was instantly moved.
Regardless of the fact that the Wushi clan is one of the richest merchants in the Qin Dynasty.
However, his life is not satisfactory. Even though he is now richest in the world, he still has to bow his head when facing small officials and officials.
You even have to worry about being targeted by the powerful because you are too rich.
In the past, it was extremely difficult to change all this.
But now the opportunity was right in front of him.
"His Royal Highness's partner, what a great opportunity!"
Wu Yuan sighed with emotion.
As a businessman, how could he let go of such an opportunity?
Wu Yuan didn't even hesitate. After receiving the news, he prepared a generous gift and went straight to the Royal Trading Company.
After spreading day and night, the news that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to auction the cement workshop and recruit partners has spread around Xianyang.
Countless businessmen came to the Royal Trading Company to find Shen Wansan and started asking questions.
Shen Wansan's answer to this was very simple and straightforward.
In the auction, the highest bidder will naturally win!
.......
"The descendants of Ba Qing are the Wushi of Shu County, the Fan family of Nanyang, and the Guo family of Zhao State. Unexpectedly, there are quite a lot of them here."
Looking at the list sent by Shen Wansan, a smile appeared on Ying Yu's lips.
These are clans that have been passed down for generations.
In terms of influence, they may not be able to.
But when it comes to money, they are definitely one of the best.
"You can arrange the specific things!"
"My prince's request is very simple, there are only two points:
First: The one with the highest price gets it.
Second: we must first build cement workshops in Changsha and Lujiang counties to help the victims of the two counties rebuild their houses."
After finishing his words, Ying Yu took out a pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Shen Wansan.
“Rebuilding houses, recruiting labor, etc. must strictly follow regulations.
Especially when it comes to building materials, whoever dares to cut corners will be directly punished as a crime of treason."
Shen Wansan took the booklet, glanced at it briefly, and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make arrangements right away."
Ying Yu waved his hand.
The next day, the auction of the cement workshop officially started on the first floor of the world.
Yesterday, after Shen Wansan brought Ying Yu's words to everyone, he directly persuaded many people to retreat.
It is true that Ying Yu's requirements are too high, and many businessmen have limited abilities and simply cannot do it.
Nowadays, those who can participate in the auction are all wealthy people worth more than five million yuan.
"Are these people here to bid? How can we, Da Qin, have so many rich people?"
Brother Zheng, dressed in casual clothes, accompanied by Ying Yu, came to the auction house on the first floor of the world.
When I saw the scene of no less than a hundred people in the hall, I was surprised.
Ying Yu nodded slightly:
"Father, due to time constraints, these are only part of the story. There are still many rich people in our country."
Nei Shiteng, who followed from the side, looked even more excited at this time.
"One hundred people, one million dollars each, that's tens of millions of dollars!"
Nesten muttered something in a low voice, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
Although Brother Zheng looked calm, he was also happy inside.
Thousands of dollars!
The year when Da Qin's treasury received the most revenue was not this much.
Even if all grains and other items were converted into half a tael, it wouldn't be that much.
Ying Yu smiled calmly.
There are not a few wealthy people in Da Qin.
It's just that these rich people have stored their money and want to leave it to their children and grandchildren.
It is precisely because of this backward concept that money cannot circulate and the economy cannot develop.
This is a considerable hidden danger.
What Ying Yu has to do is guide them to spend money.
Auctioning the cement workshop was his first move.
Businessmen all know the value of cement.
Although it requires a lot of money to bid for the auction and help rebuild the disaster area, it is worth it in the eyes of the businessmen.
Because as long as they survive the early stage, what awaits them is a steady stream of money.
The Qin Dynasty's territory is thousands of miles away, and the demand for cement, a building material that is both easy to use and cheap, is astronomical.
Controlling cement manufacturing technology is equivalent to controlling a cash cow.
What's more, His Royal Highness the Prince has also promised that no one is allowed to make cement without permission from the court.
In this way, the profit of the person who photographed the cement workshop is ensured.
Under various conditions, the auction began.
Everyone started bidding like crazy, which completely exceeded Ying Yu's expectations.
Listening to the huge figures being shouted out one after another, the people in Nestern were dumbfounded.
Damn it, these businessmen are too rich, right?
Brother Zheng, who had been able to remain calm at first, now showed excitement on his face.
Ying Yu shrugged.
The reason why this effect occurs can only be said that these businessmen have been holding back for too long.
In the past, they didn't dare to spend money.
I am afraid that others will be jealous and will be labeled as rich and unkind.
Chapter completed!
