Chapter 234 The 1st Customer
Shen Nanzhi didn't know that Mr. Xie had so much on his mind. She was really serious about attracting investment.
Mr. Xie is the first customer, so naturally he must be treated well.
At this time, the people in the county government workshop were still measuring the place. Many people were busy working, and the bustling atmosphere added a bit of liveliness to the cold weather.
There is also a big pot of ginger and sugar water boiling continuously, and you can drink a bowl of it at any time to drive away the cold and replenish your energy.
Mr. Xie's eyes lit up: "What are all these people doing?"
Shen Nanzhi explained: "Preliminary preparations are like building a tall building from the ground up. The foundation must be laid well, otherwise the house cannot be built properly."
"Yes, Miss Shen also knows how to build a house?"
“I know a little bit. These masters were invited from the county government workshop. They are all experienced craftsmen. I feel relieved to leave it to them.
I will show Mr. Xie the layout of the academy in the future."
Shen Nanzhi personally drew a beautiful blueprint for Mr. Xie, with the academy as the center and a complete commercial street radiating out. Just thinking about it makes one feel that it will definitely be very lively in the future.
Mr. Xie smacked his lips and said, "How much money does this cost?"
The money he planned to sponsor was just a drop in the bucket. Building an academy of this size would require a huge amount of money.
"Of course it's an astronomical figure, but the future benefits will also be very generous."
“Can there still be profit?”
Even if there is money to be made, it is the students of the academy who make money. It has nothing to do with her, right?
"Thank you, sir. Don't worry. Let's go inside and talk. It's very cold outside."
There is a row of simple houses next to it, where the masters temporarily live, and there is also a larger reception room with more exquisite decoration.
There is no way, everything is difficult at the beginning. Shen Nanzhi also wants to build a luxurious and bright sales hall, which will be the face of the Academy Town. Unfortunately, the money is not used here.
"Master Xie, please take a seat. Look, this is the blueprint of the Academy Town. These houses will be sold in the future. For example, Master Xie, do you want to open a tavern here?
So if you buy it now, you can choose the best location, which will also be helpful for your business."
"Buy now? Isn't it a little early?"
"It will be gone in the future. Master Xie, you know the principle of striking first and gaining the upper hand better than I do, right?"
Mr. Xie thought about it and it was right, "Okay, how much does it cost?"
"The size and location of the shop are different. There is no price yet, but the minimum starting price for a shop is 500 taels."
"Five hundred taels? So expensive?"
He only has so many shops in the county town, the land in the village is not valuable, and the house does not cost much, so why does it cost five hundred taels?
"Master Xie, what is the most important thing when buying a shop? It's not the house itself, but the location. A good location is worth every inch of land.
You think it's desolate now, but when we make a name for ourselves and start building, the price will be one level, and when the shops are built, the price will be another level. When our place matures and develops, and students from all over the country come here to admire our reputation, think about it, what will the price be like then?"
Every inch of land is worth a lot of money!
Mr. Xie had this thought in mind, and when he thought about it, it was indeed not expensive.
"Five hundred taels is a bit too much..."
He planned to sponsor a maximum of 100 taels, which was already a lot, enough to buy five acres of land. For an ordinary family, five acres of land was enough to support a whole family.
"Mr. Xie, you can pay in installments. Just book the shop first, pay part of the money, and I will keep the shop for you.
You pay a part of the money when construction starts, and when the shop is completed, you pay the rest and the shop will be yours.
Of course, paying the money outright or paying it in installments is more expensive, but it also reduces your financial pressure.”
Mr. Xie also understood that those who do business have to borrow money from money houses, and the interest rate is quite high, which is equivalent to interest.
"For Miss Shen's sake, I'll book a room first. It doesn't have to be too big. I sell drinks, so a room that's about right will do. As for the location, an above-average room will do."
"Okay, I'll have someone write a receipt for Mr. Xie and handle the formalities. We can get a discount if we buy a shop. Each shop can bring one admission quota to the academy."
Mr. Xie's eyes lit up: "You mean if I buy a shop I can send my children to study in the academy?"
"That's right!"
This is equivalent to the school district housing in the previous life, but now it is just a shop, because the businessmen are rich and want their children to succeed, so they are willing to pay any price.
Ordinary people are still at the stage of having enough food and clothing. Even if you talk to them about school district housing, no matter how excited they are, they are powerless to buy it.
Mr. Xie had completed the formalities, which were handled by the clerk in the household department of the county government. This made him feel more at ease. With the endorsement of the court, if he could not get the shop in the future, he would ask the county magistrate for justice.
"So when can my son come to study?"
Shen Nanzhi said: "Go to the old private school in the town first. It will take a year for this place to be built. Then you can move here."
"Okay, okay."
Mr. Xie was satisfied, so he packed his luggage and brought the child over.
Shen Nanzhi said again: "Master Xie, when you go back, ask your relatives and friends if anyone wants to send their children to study here, they can come and buy the shop. This is a rare opportunity, there are only a few hundred shops, and once the reputation spreads, they will be gone if you want to buy.
It doesn’t matter if your child is young, we have enlightenment classes and children as young as seven years old can be sent here.
We will open a women's college in the future, but we have to wait until everything is on track, which will take longer, maybe three to five years."
"What a pity! I could send my two rebellious daughters to learn together."
"It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. Mr. Xie is still young and can have more children. Why not buy a few more shops for your youngest son and daughter to use in the future?"
Mr. Xie's heart skipped a beat. How much money would this cost?
It's not like he has too much money to spend. Seeing Shen Nanzhi's eyes, he felt like a fat sheep, so he immediately refused: "No, my business is not that big, I really don't have any spare money. I'll take note of the girl's suggestion.
If I really have a little son, I will come back to buy it."
"Okay, you're always welcome."
Shen Nanzhi felt a little regretful, but he couldn't just pull out all the sheep he could, or else he would pull them bald.
Mr. Xie came to see Xie Jin. He was chatting with Xiao Song, and judging from their faces, the conversation was not going very well.
"Mr. Song is here too. Xie Jin will also study with you in the future. Please take care of her."
Xie Jin was unhappy: "Who needs his care? He's stupid himself, aren't you afraid that he'll make me even more stupid?"
Song Bojian was not angry. "Yes, but even though I am stupid, I have memorized the University. The teacher asked me to practice it so that I can try for the boy's exam next year."
Master Xie looked kind as he taught his son a lesson: "Learn more from Master Song. You can even take the boy's exam, so how can you be stupid?
But you, after so many years, finally understood it, and you still have the nerve to criticize others?"
