MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 653 Make guarantee
Seeing this situation, the people below were even talking about it.
The best location in the east of the city was sold out in just a quarter of an hour, so the people who were still waiting and watching, if they had spare money on hand, were itching now.
After signing and stamping on the stage, the matter was settled. Unlike what the Han and Du families had prepared in advance, more people came to join in the fun today, so one of the wealthy businessmen surnamed Wang spoke.
“I came in a hurry today and didn’t bring enough banknotes with me. Should we ask the steward to come back with us to get it later or should we send it to the young master’s residence?”
“Anyone can do it, just do whatever is convenient for you.”
As soon as these words came out, the merchants were all a little surprised. It seemed that Mr. Yan didn't take the money seriously.
Someone in the crowd raised their hands silently.
The person who walked out was just an old man dressed as an ordinary person. He walked in a fashionable and shaky way, so he opened his mouth and asked.
“Young Master, I want to buy a bungalow on Qingchun Street. Is it possible?”
“Of course, as long as the old gentleman pays the deposit in advance.”
Yan Zhiqing will not break the rules just because the other party is an older person, otherwise everyone will have an excuse to use this as a blackmail, and the business will not be able to continue.
The old man was seen wandering up to the stage, and then the housekeeper took out the deed of the Bunlianyuan on Qingchun Street, and then helped him go to the panoramic map to look at it, and explained while looking at it.
"We originally planned to put this location into Ru'an Street, but it was just a little off. It became a shop on Qingchun Street. The front of the location is spacious. If you want to serve food or something, you can also store it outside. , it should be the best one with a courtyard on Qingchun Street, what do you think, old gentleman?"
“Okay, I have saved my whole life’s money, and I still have some coffin books in my hand, so I’ll just bite the bullet and buy it. It can be considered as leaving something for my two grandchildren.”
After that, he decisively signed and pledged the land deed, and then took out a close-fitting money bag from his arms. What was inside was not a banknote, but a key, and then handed it over. That steward.
“This is the money that I saved at Huitong Bank. Here is the key. Please go and take it all out. If there is not enough left, I will think of a way!”
The key looked like it had been touched frequently, so it looked extra smooth.
Butler Ren nodded and then took it in his arms.
The land deed was rolled up and stuffed into the old man's arms, and the old man's surname was written on the overall map. This yard was regarded as a famous flower with an owner.
“Anyone else want to make a reservation in advance?”
Butler Ren asked the rest of the people. Those who are interested may not have the money, and those with money still want to wait and see, so they just sold three more houses on Ru'an Street and four in Waituo. The person spoke again.
Seeing that 70% to 80% of the shops and courtyards on the overall map have not been sold, some people began to think that Mr. Yan was just a good guy.
—
Just when everyone thought that today's events were almost over, they suddenly saw a few people dressed as stewards coming hurriedly from a distance. Looking at their clothes, they seemed to belong to officials.
As expected, someone soon recognized that the leader was the steward Zhang from the prefect's mansion, and those behind him were the stewards from the homes of several other officials in Cezhou.
How did they come? Could it be that you are here to support Mr. Yan?
So the people who were originally alienated became a little more curious at this moment, so they stood there and did not leave, waiting to watch the excitement.
After arriving here, the housekeepers first bowed to Mr. Yan and then handed him a letter.
“My Grand Administrator said that the development of the land east of the city is related to the future of Cezhou, so he is willing to participate in it. He hopes that Mr. Yan can complete the construction as soon as possible, so that Cezhou can become the mainstay of the Daxing Dynasty!”
Yan Zhiqing took the letter and looked at it. Inside, there were mortgage documents for several properties owned by Prefect Shao. They were worth about 400,000 taels, which could be said to be his entire net worth.
Seeing this, Yan Zhiqing also smiled and said with gratitude in his eyes.
“I understand the intention of the prefect, and I will definitely live up to my trust.”
Steward Zhang nodded and said that he would bring this to him. Then he chose the best location on Ru'an Street and took over the land deed on behalf of Governor Shao.
The remaining officials and housekeepers also followed suit and chose shops on Ru'an Street.
After they left, Yan Zhiqing glanced at the person below.
There were quite a few people who were just watching the fun, but those who were ready to make a move gradually gained momentum, so he took a look and saw that 30% of Ru'an Street's shops and courtyards were gone, and then he spoke.
"I wonder if anyone among you still needs to make a decision. If not, we will end it today. The rest of the bungalows will be opened for sale and lease after the construction is completed in three years. However, the prices will also change accordingly. Change, this kind of benefit only happens once."
His words succeeded in making a few of the people watching not hold back and make up their minds.
It's just that few of them settled on Ru'an Street, and more of them were either from Qingchun Street or from outside. When the sun went down, the excitement in the stands also dissipated.
The next half month in Cezhou City basically revolved around the land to the east of the city, Mr. Yan, and the matter of placing a deposit in advance. Everyone's eyes were fixed on that land, thinking We want to see if, in three years, this place can really become the bustling brocade of Cezhou as Yan Zhiqing said.
There is a lot of excitement outside, but there is harmony in the general's mansion.
In the Spring Breeze Pavilion, the breeze is blowing.
Du Jingyi and Gu Shaoyu are both sitting in the pavilion. Opposite them is another person, who has the aura of a bright moon and a clear breeze. Naturally, he is the "distinguished guest" who has come from afar.
“Is Mr. Yan still able to adapt to the long journey?”
“Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for your concern. Everything is fine with me.”
After Yan Zhiqing arrived, he settled in the largest inn in Cezhou. He booked the entire third floor and paid three years' rent in one lump sum.
After such a big deal, outsiders even felt that he was bound to be in the east of the city.
After raising his glass and taking a sip of clear wine, Yan Zhiqing asked.
