Chapter 208: You're Free
In later generations, there is a very famous effect, which is the "domino effect".
The area where this effect occurs most often is in the economic sphere.
In the economic field of later generations, every day is full of domino effects, whether it is real estate, the stock market, or even mobile phones.
Pite Zhu, an old friend of Han Yi, believes that the "domino effect" is a perfect interpretation of human nature.
But whether it's the effect, it's human nature.
Now, this domino effect is slowly fermenting in the North Lane.
The news that Hu Lao Er sold the houses and courtesans in North Lane to Feng Feilou soon spread all over North Lane, of course, this is the news that Han Yi deliberately released it.
When the black-hearted landlords in North Lane heard the news, they immediately panicked, if Hu Lao Er didn't sell the house to Han Yi, they might still insist on holding on and waiting for a turnaround, but now they have completely lost their patience.
In the next three days, Han Yi was busy from morning to night, and there was almost no time to breathe, but this was undoubtedly a happy thing for an acquirer, at least he didn't even have to go out.
This good trick is not afraid to use it a second time, no matter who he negotiates with, Han Yi never mentions the matter of the house, he always says that he wants to buy a courtesan, he does it just because the courtesan does not have a value preservation, it is equivalent to a consumable, the older the courtesan is, the less valuable it is, and the prime time of a courtesan is only a few years.
This is also why those landlords are very willing to sell the courtesans to Han Yi, because if it takes a year or two, the courtesans will not be able to make money for them, and they will be smashed in their hands.
But the real estate has appreciation, if they know that Han Yi is going to buy a house, the price will be difficult to negotiate, and they will definitely not back down much.
However, once the courtesans are sold, what is the use of the house? It's better to sell.
So these black-hearted landlords are the same as Hu Laoer. Choose to bundle the house to a geisha for sale.
In business, they are very smart and know how to use their advantages to maximize their benefits, because they are not optimistic about the prospects of North Lane, and this house has become a burden. You must know that the premise of the imperial court's tolerance for Pingkangli is because it can bring a lot of taxes to the imperial court.
But they never thought that Han Yi's main thing was real estate, and the courtesans were actually incidental.
Within five days, Han Yi successfully acquired 18 households in North Lane, and all of them, including the contracts of 38 courtesans, and even those who had disappeared, these were all gifts. Han Yiken accepted it, and they were all overjoyed.
However, Han Yi only spent 400 yuan, and the average family only paid more than 20 yuan, which was almost half the price to buy North Lane.
Today, Han Yi has become a veritable king of North Lane.
After this time, Liu E admired Han Yi is five suits, even if Han Yi said that the sun came out to the west, she would probably be convinced.
When Han Yi said that he wanted to buy the entire North Alley. She really thought Han Yi was joking with her, but it was less than a month before and after. Han Yi bought the entire North Alley.
But do you want to say that Han Yi's plan is Gao Ming?
Not necessarily. It's nothing more than getting a few courtesans who pretend to be crazy and stupid, but this is just right.
I'm afraid that now I don't know that this is a ghost that Han Yi is doing behind the scenes, because Feng Feilou is also involved, no one will believe that he has messed up his business, even if Han Yi buys North Lane, no one will doubt it. Because North Lane is now a piece of stinky shit, people can't wait to stay away, and if you still lean on it, maybe you will laugh at Han Yi for being stupid.
Whether this is a wise decision or a stupid one. It is not yet possible to define it, after all, you must bear the risk of failure when you buy and sell
.
.
Inside the Fengfei Building.
Nearly 100 people stood in front of their seats, these people were all employees of Fengfeilou, you must know that two months ago, there were only six people in Fengfeilou.
Han Yi walked up to the stage, looked at the people in the audience with a smile, and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Han Yi, a native of Yangzhou." The reason why my father helped me name 'art' was that he hoped that I would grow up to be able to read good books and learn the six arts of a gentleman, and he was going to help me name Han Liuyi, but my father later felt that it was too difficult for me to learn the six arts, but he was satisfied if I could learn an art. But unfortunately, I haven't even learned an art, and the difference between the two names may just make my father feel less regretful. ”
Poof!
Many people couldn't help it and laughed out loud.
And Brother Xiong and Ono laughed happily, of course the two of them would not be afraid of Han Yi.
In fact, there is really such a thing, Han Dashan felt that the reason why he could only be a woodman and a farmer was because of this name, so he asked Xu Lao to give his son a name next to the book, so he had the name "Han Yi".
Han Yi swept away, put down most of the people with their heads down, sighed slightly in his heart, and said, "If you can, can you raise your heads and look at me, otherwise I really don't know the meaning of me standing here." ”
Many people raised their heads slightly, but there was still a trace of fear in their eyes, especially those courtesans who had just come, they were the lowliest courtesans in Chang'an, they had no dignity, and now the master has changed, but their identities have not changed, of course they are afraid in their hearts, in case this new master is a pervert, what can be done.
Han Yi said again: "If you can, can you give me a little applause, just take it as encouragement, it's the first time I've spoken in front of so many people, and I'm a little nervous." ”
Brother Xiong and Ono were the first to applaud, and Sang Mu, Liu E and others also applauded, and then everyone applauded.
When the applause fell slightly, Han Yi nodded again and again: "Thank you, thank you, although most of the applause did not have any emotional color, I still thank you very much." As he spoke, he raised his hand and said, "Sit down." ”
Brother Xiong and Xiao Ye sat down immediately, they were very obedient children, but the rest of them didn't dare to do it, the proprietor was standing, they were sitting, what was the reason.
Han Yi said again: "Sit down!" ”
The tone couldn't help but be a little heavier.
Everyone sat down one after another, but it was like sitting on pins and needles.
Han Yi said: "Actually, I am no different from you, I came out of my mother's womb, I have been bent over since birth, and I am tired like a dog every day." But I eat worse than a dog, and no one looks up to me, and maybe I'm worse than a dog in their eyes.
At that time, how much I wished that someone would treat me as a person, how much I wanted to have the dignity that a person deserved, until one time the son of a landlord wanted to take my new wife, which made me realize. I can't go on like this, I have to keep my chest up.
At that time, I always thought that if I had money and land, I would be able to gain the respect of others, so I worked hard to make money. By God's grace, I made a lot of money, I changed from a farmer to a landlord, and I bought my first slave and maid. Like other landlords, I whipped him to do things, because I thought that this was the only way to be respected.
A month later. I asked another man to ask the slave if he respected me, and I was disappointed by his answer, saying that he was afraid of me and hated me, except that he did not mention respect. I think it's because this man is so stupid, or maybe I haven't done enough, so I swapped a slave with someone else.
This time I desperately oppressed my slave and exploited him. I even let him work from morning till night, but I only gave him one meal. But it turned out to be even more disappointing to me, not only did he disrespect me, but he was ready to kill me, of course, he didn't succeed, but then he ran away.
I'm distressed. Why did this happen, I think I was born untouchable, no one could respect me, and I even put the blame on my parents.
I was really disheartened and sat on the side of the street drinking. Suddenly a beggar came up and asked me if I could give him a mouthful of food, and I gave him a few pennies without even looking at him. He thanked him and left.
A few months later, because I had no intention of doing things, I became destitute, so I had to go to the river to help people support boats, and became a lowly person, at that time I had accepted my fate, I thought I was this fate, but one day I met a rich man, as soon as he saw me, he invited me to dinner, and gave me a lot of money, regarded me as a guest, and took care of me in every way.
I really thought that he was the incarnation of the Buddha and came to purify all sentient beings, so I asked him, why are you so kind to me and so respectful to me, and he told him that he was begging on the street, and I was the only one on the street who gave him money to help him get through the difficulties, and he kept looking for me, hoping to repay me.
After listening to this, it dawned on me that in order to gain the respect of others, it is very, very simple, that is, first you have to respect others, and respect is mutual. I'm willing to bet that none of you sitting down there have any respect for your former masters, because they didn't respect you, and they sold you to others like livestock. ”
The people in the audience were stunned, but their eyes were already slightly moist.
Han Yi continued: "Respect, dignity, this is what I have pursued all my life, this is also the purpose of my opening Fengfeilou, I hope everyone can respect me, then the first thing I have to do is to respect everyone, including you, of course, since I can sit and listen to you sing and direct you to work, you can also sit and listen to me tell my story and correct my mistakes, I don't want you to sleep in bed every day The only thing you want to do is to curse me." ”
With that, he suddenly beckoned to the side.
Na Cha Wu led a few bartenders to come up with a large pile of bamboo slips and white cloths written in black letters.
Han Yi pointed to these bamboo slips and white sermons and said, "These are your deeds of sale." ”
Most of the people in the audience saw these things and showed fear.
Han Yi smiled: "But I don't think they are still necessary, because they will prevent us from respecting each other." As he spoke, he gave Cha Wu a look.
Cha Wu and the others immediately brought these things to a large cauldron that had been erected on the stage, and a raging fire was burning inside.
A few bangs.
I saw that Cha Wu threw all these bamboo slips and white cloths into the pot, and the flames were instantly pressed everywhere.
There was a burst of exclamations of surprise from below, and all of them had shocked on their faces, which was simply unbelievable, some people covered their heads with their hands, some pinched their thighs, and some silently shed tears.
Han Yi took out a piece of white cloth with black characters written on it from his arms again, and said, "This is the official document approved by the government for you to release goodness." From now on, you are free, you can choose to leave or stay, you can do whatever you want, in short, you are free. ”
