"This involves the issue of real estate speculation. We bought the land at the lowest price back then, then sold it to them at three times the price. During this period, we tried to control the price increase, allowing them to make about double the profit before we bought it back. When the land returned to us, we pushed up the price. In short, we made the most money and they made the least."
Li Xiang briefly talked about the problem of real estate speculation. This problem must be solved by cooperating with the wealthy people around. If we just play a solo show, the price of this land will not be able to be pushed up so high. Moreover, this is Chang'an City, almost the center of the world, so there is no need to worry about the land price here falling. After all, all the prominent people in the country want to come here, but Chang'an City is only this big, so the land here will continue to appreciate.
"Master, you're so smart! Why didn't I think of this? As long as people keep coming to Chang'an City, our real estate will definitely make money. Does that mean we'll have to raise the rent on the shops we rent out?"
This guy thought of another thing. They have hundreds of shops for rent around here, some big and some small. If the land price rises, the rent must also be increased.
"You're right, but we're all trustworthy people. Since we agreed not to raise the rent too much, we can only adjust it once a year. And when the lease expires, members must be given priority."
For members of a commercial complex, you must give them some benefits. Without benefits, who would be willing to become a member here? Moreover, your annual membership fee is not a small amount.
It's a win-win situation if everyone makes money. If you monopolize the market, that would be bad.
After finishing the serious discussion, Li Xiang prepared to leave. After all, this place did not have a good reputation. Although the young masters of the Tang Dynasty liked to come here, Li Xiang still wanted to protect his reputation.
"Master, today is our courtesan's performance, don't you want to watch it?"
Seeing Li Xiang about to leave, Zhu Runjiu suddenly remembered that there was another important event today. Otherwise, why would so many people come? Bai Mudan, the most famous courtesan in Chang'an City, had once been a very famous person in Chang'an City. She was originally the top performer of Cuixianglou, and Zhu Runjiu had spent a lot of money to buy her.
Li Xiang had little interest in the ancient tales of jealous rivalry among young men. Even if these people were simply offering him money, he felt they were a bit disillusioned. If he used the money for real work, his family would surely prosper. If he threw it all into prostitution, he would be bringing shame to his family.
"Boss, boss, something terrible has happened. Master Cheng and the Turkic king are fighting."
Li Xiang was about to leave when another young man came running over. Young masters are often jealous of each other, so fighting is not surprising. But if a foreigner is involved, things might get interesting...
Little Turkic king?
Ashinamu?
This name immediately came to Li Xiang's mind. Since Li Shimin defeated the Turks, the grassland has been divided into several factions. This little Turkic king is the heir of the southern tribe and has been studying in Chang'an City.
He is different from Zatlk. His father is the Turkic Khan appointed by Li Shimin. He is loyal to the court and has helped the court a lot over the years. Why did Cheng Chuliang fight with him?
Cheng Chuliang is still in the Imperial City Office, responsible for monitoring foreigners in Chang'an City. The young Turkic king has always been law-abiding. Even if something happens, he should not fight in such a romantic place. Once the matter gets out of hand, when the people from the Chang'an City Office come, it will probably be bad for both sides. After all, they are both people of status, and entering and leaving such a place in broad daylight is no small matter.
If it were on someone else's territory, Li Xiang might have to fan the flames and let these people make a big fuss, but now that they are on his own territory, it is better to keep a low profile on some things. If a fuss really breaks out, and someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it and directly seals off this place, he will lose 8,000 strings of cash every day.
"Go and take a look."
The group quickly took Li Xiang over. When Li Xiang arrived at the hall, the two people here had already been grabbed. Judging from the looks on their faces, they must have been fighting for a while. Cheng Chuliang's eyes were blackened, and the little Turkic king didn't gain much advantage either, with blood at the corners of his mouth and nose.
"What's going on?"
Li Xiang said somewhat displeasedly, I brought you two in here to play for free, so you two can't cause trouble for me!
"This guy insulted your wife."
Cheng Chuliang's words made Li Xiang speechless. Where can I get a wife? Although all the major families submitted memorials some time ago, the problem is that the emperor didn't approve it. How can she be my wife?
"That's what happened..."
Chang Sun Chong didn't know what to say. He had a good relationship with both of them. Li Xiang had gone to check the accounts just now, and the two of them were wandering around here. Who knew they would run into the young Turkic king Ashinamu.
Somehow the two of them talked about Li Xiang's marriage. Ashinamu and Cheng Chuliang often fought with each other, so he went a little too far in this matter, saying that Li Xiang didn't want a girl from the Cheng family, which made Cheng Chuliang angry.
"Am I wrong? Did your daughter from the Cheng family marry into the Eastern Palace?"
Although Ashinamu was the son of the King of Jiang, Li Shimin still had to rely on his father to control the grassland, so his status in Chang'an City was not low.
"You dare to say that, kid? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death."
Cheng Chuliang became even more anxious when he heard this. He was about to break free from the crowd and prepare to go up for another fight. Among their peers, both of them were at the top in boxing and kicking skills. Just now, a few people went over to stop the fight, but they were beaten and couldn't recover for a long time. This was why Chang Sun Chong stayed away.
"Alright, alright, give me some face today. Let's not fight here, and everyone please stop watching. I'll give everyone a pot of good wine, even if it's just to give me, Li Xiang, some face."
Li Xiang grabbed each of them with one hand each, and both of them were surprised at Li Xiang's strength.
"Where do you get so much face? If you don't marry my sister, have you given me face?"
Li Xiang thought the matter was suppressed, but Cheng Chuliang slammed the table and turned his spearhead towards him...
