Chapter 334: Ten Thousand Great Wazi
"That's great, Brother Su, you've done me a great favor!"
On the morning of the third day of the ninth lunar month, Wu Haogu learned that the Su family was going to invest 50,000 yuan in Jiehe Commercial Market at the Gonghe Head Office, which was the original Christie's head office. γLatest chapter reading. γ
This is the second large private investment (excluding the investment in the Jiehe Chamber of Commerce), and the first investment is Yan Po'er's Qinglou, which is really a bit of a loss of capitalist face! Fortunately, capitalism is mercenary, and it is shameless.
"How do you say help?" Su Dalang said with a smile, "My family's investment in Jiehe Commercial City is to make money, and this Jiehe grain store will not lose money, right?" β
Losses should not be possible. Wu Haogu thought to himself: But I'm afraid it's not easy to make money, if you don't do it, you have to lose money for three and a half years, and when the operation of Jiehe Commercial City is on track and the population increases, the grain store will make money.
Of course, this kind of long-term investment, Wu Haogu himself also plans to engage in a few in the Jiehe Commercial Market.
The first is the boundary hippodrome farm, which is a place used to raise horses and improve horse breeds. I'm afraid it's a project that will burn money and lose money in ten or twenty years!
The second is the Jiehe Iron Field, which is actually a "test iron field", which is impossible to make money at all, but is opened to overcome the "cold forging armor" technology. Wu Haogu prepared to import iron ore from Liguojian in Xuzhou, Longyan Tieshan in Youzhou and Tiezhou Tieshan in Liaodong, and then smelted it with charcoal or coke on an experimental basisβthe reason why iron ore was imported from different places was because Mengxi had mentioned that the iron smelted from different iron ores was different
In short, Wu Haogu is an artist who doesn't know much science and technology, and he can only take the path of testing the truth through practice, and slowly try and make mistakes.
The third is the Jiehe Shipyard, which is also a "test ground", but Wu Haogu is not ignorant of shipbuilding. Well, he didn't build boats, but he did. He has drawn sailboats and galleys, as well as the keels of ships β thanks to the comic book company where he later worked.
However, relying only on these foundations, it is impossible for Wu Haogu to build a powerful galley battleship, and it is still very necessary to test and explore.
In addition, the Kaihe Ship Yard can also be used to create a hair stone device. In order for this thing to be mounted on a ship, it can also be used to defend the city, and it should be used with "gunpowder incendiary bombs", which should have some effect.
In the future, when the conditions are ripe, it will be necessary to open a gunpowder factory and a cannon foundry - if the technology can keep up.
However, as a mercenary capitalism, we can't all engage in these high-minded things that don't know when we can make money. Otherwise, if the capital is lost, there will be no ism! Therefore, Wu Haogu still played his true character as a profiteer in the operation of Jiehe Commercial Market.
There are definitely a few businesses that can definitely make dirty money, and he has already arranged several!
The first is, of course, the "Erguotou" liquor, which in the long run is to be provided by Pan Lou to open a distillery, but in the short term, it will be directly distilled and the raw material shochu will be purchased to make money first. Wu Haogu planned to take out the first batch of products before Song Huizong ascended the throne, and then dedicate them to Song Huizong as imperial wine, and then let Song Huizong give him a good name, so that he could pretend to be successful and sell them at a high price.
The second is to find quick money from the hook fence tiles. In the Song Dynasty, Goolan tiles were a kind of "amusement and commercial distribution place", and of course they could also include brothels and green buildings. Wu Haogu planned to build an extra-large tile in Jiehe Commercial City, and the name was Wanda Wazi - "Wanda" means all-encompassing and everything. And Wanda Wazi will be the center of the entire Jiehe City business district, and Yan Niangzi's Qinglou will be located in a corner of Wanda Wazi. In addition to the Qinglou, Wanda Wazi also has six major selling points: performances, wrestling, casinos, horse racing, food and shopping.
Among them, horse racing is a tailor-made project for Khitan nobles from the north! In Wu Haoko's plan, there will be not only horse races that win by speed, but also polo matches and equestrian performances that pay attention to skill. And a rather hefty prize money will be awarded to the winner! The victorious horses will also be enthroned in the Ten Thousand Races Jockey Club and become a generation of famous horses, and if the mare wants to find them to "lead the hoof", the owner will have to pay!
Of course, horse racing and polo matches are definitely wagered on! In addition, Oiran Bank will also open a branch in Jiehe in the future, which will operate around the "Ten Thousand Tournament Jockey Club" and "Ten Thousand Great Wrestling Club".
It's just that such a big and ten thousand tiles will be handed over to someone to operate, and now Wu Haogu has not thought about it. He has a very full idea of tile, but it is not easy to realize.
"Big brother, who will take care of your grain business?" Wu Haogu thought of this and asked again.
Su Dalang himself can't leave Kaifeng Mansion, he is the big shopkeeper of the Republic!
"Give Sudarshan a tube." Su Dalang said, "He is one of my brothers, who is in charge of the Su family's vinegar granary, and he is very familiar with the matter of rice grain." β
The vinegar of this era was 100% brewed, and there was no chemical blending of vinegar. The raw material for vinegar is grain, glutinous rice, wheat, sorghum, bran, and rice can all be used to make vinegar, so the vinegar Su family is no stranger to grain trade.
"Good!" Wu Haogu smiled, "This is the best." He paused, "Kaifeng Gonghexing will be entrusted to you here, I still have a book to draw today, it is a Yan Xixi Yan Yan." β
"Pity?"
"You know?"
Fat Su smiled and nodded, "Why don't you recognize it?" β
Wu Haogu thought to himself, it turns out that you, a dead fat man, have prostituted others.
Su Dalang looked at Wu Haogu and said, "Da Lang, don't you know that Big Brother Gao and Liu Xiaoyi helped rescue Xixi?" β
"I don't know." Wu Haogu shook his head, looking dazed.
Su Fatzi smiled: "No wonder, you are very busy now." Let me tell you, this Yan Xixi was originally with her father, her father was a small envoy of the forbidden army, when he was ordered to take the Gang, he met a bandit, he was afraid for a while, abandoned the gang and fled, so he violated the military law, and he stabbed the prison city, and he was so tired that his daughter did not enter the teaching workshop to do official tricks This was two or three years ago, and then her mother Yan Po'er's concubine, that is, your good brother Liu Xiaoyi made a fortune, so the road led to Gao Shiyan, Gao Shiyan came forward to redeem Xixi, but he didn't want to do a folk trick with her mother. β
The official tricks of the Song Dynasty were actually worse than private tricks, and in theory, they didn't sell themselves, but in fact they were worse than the private tricks that sold themselves. Because the official troupe is not for business, but similar to the existence of art troupes, which serve the government, perform songs and dances to entertain them, and it is forbidden to hold hands with officials.
Just look at it, don't lead it, and the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty are all gentlemen!
Moreover, there is no way to compare the income of official tricks with the same posture and talent, and it is better to meet officials who are generous, otherwise it will be a situation where they will not have enough to eat and starve. It is impossible to live a comfortable retirement life like Master Li.
"I see." Wu Haogu nodded and said to Su Dalang, "Then she is lucky to meet me, I will draw thirty-six pictures for her, and arrange for the album to be published in December, which will always make her popular." β
Su Dalang smiled: "Okay, that's how it will be arranged." β
Originally, Su Dalang wanted to take Wu Haogu to drink a practice wine, but Wu Haogu refused.
The day after tomorrow, he was going to leave Kaifeng Mansion and go north, but there was not much time to waste, so he said goodbye to Su Dalang and left with Lin Wancheng.
Out of the Republic Head Office, Wu Haogu was in a particularly good mood.
It seems that Lighthouse City (Jiehe Commercial Market) can really be done, this is a city of its own! No matter how many "mothers-in-law" there are in the lighthouse city, the person in charge of building the city is always himself, and this "building the city" is not "building the city", but turning a wasteland by the boundary river into an evil bourgeois free city!
At that time, Wu Haogu will be the father of all evil capitalism! Maybe he can become a villain who resists the southward movement of ethnic minorities, which is really exciting!
Thinking of his evil appearance in the future, Wu Haogu became more and more proud in his heart, and unconsciously slipped to the martial arts mansion on the bank of the Jinshui River.
When he arrived, a carriage was parked outside the gate of the mansion, and a tall horse was tied to the hitch in front of the door.
One of Wu Haogu's "followers", Wu Haomou, a village talent from the Baibo Wu family, was standing at the door, and when he saw Wu Haogu, he greeted him: "Big brother, there is a distinguished guest visiting." β
Hearing the other party call himself "big brother", Wu Haogu sneered in his heart. In fact, his ranking in the Baibo martial arts family is not the boss, but the original boss is dead, so Wu Haogu has been promoted to become the eldest brother of the good generation - if you are rich and powerful, you will be the eldest brother? This family rule of the Bai Bo martial arts family is very up-to-date!
"Distinguished guests? Who is it? β
"There are three distinguished guests," Wu Hao said, "and two of them are ladies surnamed Yan." β
Yan Po'er and Yan Xi are very valuable guests? Wu Haogu got off the horse and threw the reins to Lin Wancheng, "Who else is there to say?" β
"There is also a surname Zhang, who is a Xuanfeng Lang from the seventh grade."
The civil official surnamed Zhang from the seventh grade? Who is it? Wu Haogu thought about it, I don't know it. But if you don't know it, you have to deal with it, but people are dignified civil officials.
"You first ask the mother and daughter of the Yan family to wait in my inner hall." Wu Haogu commanded, "Is that Zhang Xuanfeng in the middle hall?" β
Wu Haomou smiled and said: "Big brother, the two Yan ladies have been led by the starling brother to see Mrs. Sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?" Wu Haogu was shocked when he heard this, "That sister-in-law? β
"I'm Pan Niangzi."
"Pan Pan Eighteen has entered the city?"
"Yes, just a moment earlier than the two Yan Niangzi, she went to Panjiayuan to eat Pan Yuma's full moon wine, and came to the house to rest for a while."
Wu Haogu complained bitterly in his heart, what two brainless nerds! Even if Pan Qiaolian is at home, you can't take two young ladies who come to the door to look for her!
And it's a mother-daughter flower, this time it's okay, the lioness is going to be powerful!
