Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 307 The results are gratifying
If it weren't for Sun Xiangfu's old tricks that would appear in later generations, it would be difficult to fool the aristocratic think tanks of this era.

The exaggeration of the scale is fake news in the shopping malls of later generations, and the simplified planning map released later is also a kind of fake news. Under the superimposed effect of these two fake news, the think tank of the aristocratic family was naturally confused.

When Lu Wenzhong, Zheng Xuancheng and others were scolding the Wang family for being shameless, Cui Shaoyuan said again, "Brothers, the Wang family will continue to offer quotations to the court to sell the building materials they hoard. Let Wang win the bid."

"Then, what shall I do?" Zheng Xuancheng asked.

Cui Shaoyuan didn't answer, but looked at Lu Wenyuan, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Reduce the price, even if it's a [-]% discount, we can still make some money. This time, we must let the Wang family smash their hoarded building materials in their hands."

When Cui Shaoyuan heard the words, he shook his head and said, "A [-]% discount is still not safe. In my opinion, a [-]% discount is a good deal."

If the price is discounted by [-]%, it is almost close to the cost price. Cui Shaoyuan meant that he would not make any money at all, but also cheat the Wang family. The strange thing is that Lu Wenyuan and others agreed very much.

After the news of Shanyang spread to Chang'an, their families and the Wang family were already on fire, and [-]% of the price was naturally not a big deal for these aristocratic families. Let them relieve their hatred.

It can only be said that the timing Lu Wenzhong and the others chose to launch in Shanyang was too coincidental, just before the bidding for building materials in Weinan New City.

Taiji Palace, Yushufang, Ma Zhou reported to Li Shimin some progress of Weinan New City. There are hundreds of thousands of laborers here. The road work will basically be over within half a month after the summer beans are planted in June.

Now, materials need to be prepared for the construction of the large house designed by Sun Xiangfu. Among them, the demand for beams and wood is particularly large, and there is also a lot of steel materials for beams and columns. There is no way, and the carrying space needs to be wider. If it is, it needs reinforced concrete as the main structure, and these things are now hoarded in large quantities in the hands of the five surnames and seven families.

"Your Majesty, according to Dudu Sun's previous plan, we need round after round of bidding and purchasing bit by bit to keep the price down. I feel that we can also take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between the Cui family and several other companies."

"The plan will come out?"

"Your Majesty, after their bids are handed in, we will know their quotations. If I inform the Wang family of their reserve prices, Cui Shaoyuan, who is a shareholder, will also participate in the selection of bidders..."

Ma Zhou's plan is very simple, to play tricks on the auction, that is, to turn the bidding into an auction, so that the building materials in the hands of several of them can be bought at a price far below the market price.

While several of them are bidding, they use the Wang family as a shit stick to make the rest of them feel that the Cui family is unreliable. It made the rest of the family feel unfair, and thus gradually created a rift with the Cui family.

These methods are very practical, Li Shimin immediately nodded in agreement after hearing Ma Zhou's suggestion.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu had already thought of these links when he thought of using bidding to lure the aristocratic family to sell. He believed that Ma Zhou could handle these things well, so he suggested to Li Shimin that Ma Zhou be the governor of the Weinan New City project.

Soon, the news in the newspaper was published. Ma Zhou, the governor of the Weinan New City project, invited bids from the whole country to purchase wood for building houses. , or the family, can submit a goods quotation to the Weinan New City project team, within a time limit of one day.

After receiving the news, each family hurriedly calculated the price and reported their own price.

The next day, there was new news in the newspaper that Taiyuan Wang successfully won the bid at a price of 20 guan, and will hand over the goods to the Weinan New City project team today.

And this price, compared to the quantity of materials purchased in this bidding document, is almost half of the market price. In other words, the Wang family is selling it at a [-]% discount. This is a loss-making business!
The sons of the aristocratic family who got the news scolded the Wang family. However, at this time, they saw another procurement news in the newspaper, the steel material procurement news, which also invited bidding from the whole country, and the price was quoted within a limited time.

This time, the sons of the aristocratic family were annoyed, and reported a discount of [-]%. Even if they were at a loss, they had to let the things of the Wang family fall into their hands.

Then, Cui Shaoyuan was called by Ma Zhou to hold a shareholders’ meeting. The topic of the shareholders’ meeting was very simple. In the price list of steel materials reported by the people, there were six companies with the same price quotation. The attitude is that he does not participate in private commercial activities, so although he holds [-]% of the shares, he waives the right to vote, and the final bid will be determined by the remaining shareholders.

"Since the Qinghe Cui family is also in the bidding process, of course I'm helping our own family. I vote for the Qinghe Cui family." After Yu Chigong made a good start, the rest of the shareholders also voted for Qinghe Cui. Shi.

After thanking the shareholders one by one with the honorable Cui Shaoyuan, Ma Zhou announced the news through newspapers soon, and at the same time, published a new round of procurement bidding plan.

After that, Cui Shaoyuan held shareholder meetings more and more frequently. Every time, he won the bid. The point is, every time he won the bid, he lost money.

However, at this time, the attendant Wang Gui desperately impeached Qinghe Cui's officials in the court hall, as if what Qinghe Cui had done was very sorry for their royal family.

At first, everyone thought it was the Qinghe Cui family who asked the Wang family to hoard the building materials in their hands and could not sell them, so Wang Gui thought about giving Qinghe Cui's small shoes to wear in the court to take revenge on them.

And the sons of the great families also thought they had breathed a sigh of relief, and were triumphant.

But later, everyone felt that something was wrong. Except for the Wang family in Taiyuan who won the bid once at first, the Cui family in Qinghe won the bid every time. This is not normal.

It is better to sell some building materials at a loss than to have a backlog of rotten and rusty ones in your hands!

After several inquiries, they found out that the original shareholders could know some internal information and vote to decide whose products to buy. Therefore, several aristocratic families felt that it was Cui Shaoyuan who betrayed everyone, and they first hoarded their own goods. Things are sold.

After this little Jiujiu was born, Lu Wenyuan was no longer willing to tell Cui Shaoyuan his quotation, and in private, he lowered the price by half again.

It's a pity that he still didn't sell the thing, because the Wang family didn't know what kind of wind it was, and also lowered the price by half at this time. People with seven-tenths of the shares have no right to speak at all.

So, the Wang family sold another round, and Lu Wenyuan and others were extremely annoyed, and asked Cui Shaoyuan to go to the shareholders to get them inside information, and at least let him sell some things, you know, without processing Such things as iron and wood will continue to decay, rust and depreciate.

Then, Cui Shaoyuan really went, and Ma Zhou didn’t treat him as an outsider at all. Shareholders can see the prices quoted by various companies, which are open and transparent. Therefore, Cui Shaoyuan saw the price reported by Wang’s family and discounted it by [-]%.

When he saw Wang's offer, Cui Shaoyuan just gritted his teeth and sighed, "Wang is so ruthless." 'If the steel materials are sold at 20% of the market price, even if it is an order of [-] guan, the Wang family will lose tens of thousands of guan.

However, when it informed Lu Wenyuan and others of the news, it found that Lu Wenyuan was even more ruthless and directly quoted a price of [-]% of the market price.

This time, Lu Wenyuan really won the bid, and he successfully lost more than [-] guan.

Afterwards, all bidding and purchasing plans were never higher than 20% of the market price. Until the end of May, when Li Shimin was about to leave for Shanyang, Ma Zhou’s No. [-] round of bidding and purchasing plans ended, and Lu Wenyuan and the others Only then did they realize that the materials they had on hand had been bought up by the project team.

The project team only spent about 400 million guan to buy building materials worth over 100 million guan. Except for Wang's situation, the six of them actually lost about [-] million guan in this round of bidding and procurement. .

Didn't you say before that the actual construction scale of Weinan New City is not large, so how could you buy so many building materials?

On the surface, the scale of Weinan New City is indeed small. Many cement roads divide the entire Weinan territory into large grids. Now, among those grids, only one of the grids has started construction. If the range of that grid is As far as Weinan New City is concerned, it is not much bigger than the previous Weinan County.

However, when they knew that it was just a smelting workshop in Weinan New City, or called a smelting factory, they were stunned.

One of his smelting workshops is bigger than the original Weinan County, so how big is the whole city?Isn't it bigger than Chang'an?
The ghosts told them that the people they sent out to inquire about the news didn’t know how to read the scale. The ghosts told them that they didn’t know how important smelting technology and steel production are to a country. Sun Xiangfu built such a large smelting workshop to promote ironware to the whole people. Whether it is living utensils, farming tools, military equipment, or new buildings, a large amount of steel is required, and even new products such as press wells consume more steel.

I want all the people in Datang to use higher-quality production and living tools. Datang’s current steel output must be increased by at least ten times. How?Of course, it was turned over by this giant smelting workshop.

Ma Zhou didn't need to worry too much, a Guanzhong coal tycoon like Wei Shuxie came to him, how much coal would you need to build such a large smelting workshop!Is it necessary to purchase, and it is a long-term purchase.

So, soon, the large square divided by the cement road next to the smelting workshop began to be built by people. According to the routine explained by Sun Xiangfu, Ma Zhou explained to Wei Shuxie the importance of coal to the entire Weinan New City. In the future, not only smelting workshops are big coal users, ceramic workshops, glass workshops, even cement, papermaking, etc., all industries need a lot of coal, so this coal workshop cannot be opened too small .

Therefore, the Wei family spent a lot of money selling iron and scraped together 50 guan, and asked the project team to build him a super-large coal workshop that could supply the entire Weinan Industrial Zone in the future.

From then on, the news came out almost every day in the newspapers about who and what industry workshops had settled in Weinan New City, and then, people from all walks of life began to come to Ma Zhou to discuss business.

Therefore, when Li Shimin boarded the carriage of the Northern Tour, he was very happy and excited, because before he left, he saw the initial success of the reform in Guanzhong and the construction project of Weinan New City.

Moreover, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this year’s summer grain harvest in Guanzhong is unprecedented. Shi Duo, a native of Guanzhong, only used less than one-third of the field to grow food that can be eaten by everyone for more than a year, and the output of melons, fruits, cotton and other crops is insignificant.

When his bicycle frame passed the cement road, he saw the harvest scene of the people along the way. Many people offered him the watermelons, honeydew melons, and muskmelons produced in their fields. He was very moved. Receive things softly.

And these things that the ordinary people could not eat at all in the past, this year, they can eat them openly, because judging from the output of various crops in the fields, they have the economic strength to eat for a year this year.

　Thanks to Asakusa Hideyama, book friend 14111001... for the reward, there will be a relatively strong recommendation starting next Monday, and it will be updated for a week in a row, fulfilling the promise of a small goal in advance, so, everyone's recommendation Tickets, monthly tickets, please smash them down!This time, I'm going to work hard.
