In Angji City, whether it was shops or ordinary houses, their value doubled overnight. Moreover, there was still a lot of room for growth. Countless businessmen seized this opportunity and prepared to buy shops and houses on a large scale. For a time, there was news of a large number of shops and houses being bought at high prices in the entire Stone City. In this case, the prices of shops and ordinary houses were further pushed up, so those who originally planned to sell their properties stopped thinking about it and prepared to wait for the price to rise again. However, after waiting for a while, they found that the price was still rising, so they continued to wait. This time, the price of the shops and ordinary houses increased three times, four times, and even five times, which made the businessmen in the city sigh.
In a teahouse, more than a dozen businessmen sat together to drink tea and chat. The topic they talked about most had changed from the road construction of the Tang dynasty to the large-scale increase of the houses in Angji City. At this time, they were most interested in this topic, which was also related to their vital interests. These businessmen more or less had some fixed properties in this city. As a big businessman, if they did not have a few shops and houses, they would be embarrassed to call themselves a big businessman. The businessmen who owned more real estate were naturally the happiest. The large-scale increase of the house prices made the fixed assets they owned increase on a large scale, and their wealth suddenly increased several times. How could they not be in a good mood? As for the businessmen who owned less real estate, more or less, they were somewhat regretful. If they had known that the house prices here would rise so sharply, they would have bought a few more houses.
In fact, before the construction of the railway station, the price of Angji City had already risen once. After hearing that the Tang Empire was going to build a railway station here, the businessmen had already realized that the price of the house here would definitely rise. However, there was a railway station every 50 miles, and Angji City was just one of them. Therefore, although the price of the house rose, it only doubled, and then it stabilized. This time, the price suddenly rose again, naturally because the size of the railway station here was far greater than that of the other railway stations.
With the keenness of the businessmen, they could naturally understand what the size of the railway station meant for business. They could clearly foresee what Angji City would look like one day in the future. They were very clear that after the railway station was built and the railway was opened, the house prices here would continue to rise, the business would be very prosperous, and the city would inevitably expand on a large scale. Now was the time to make a move.
Of course, when one person wanted to make a move, it was naturally a good opportunity. However, when everyone realized that this was a good opportunity, it was not a good opportunity anymore. After all, this caused a serious internal conflict. Everyone was busy buying real estate, and there were almost no people who were willing to sell real estate. As a result, the price could only continue to rise. Thus, the people who sold real estate had a firm grip on it, and there was nothing they could do.
When they heard that the railway station was an eight-lane station, they knew that they had lost the opportunity. With this news, it was not so easy to buy real estate. it was not so easy to buy real estate.
"Recently, the price of real estate has risen to the sky. I originally wanted to buy a few places, but I don't think about it anymore. It's better to save some money!"
A merchant sipped on a cup of strong tea and said.
. "Isn't that right? Since they heard that the railway station was much bigger than other places, there were suddenly more people who were anxious to buy real estate. There were not many who were selling real estate. How could the price not rise? Those who started early took a big advantage, and those who started late suffered a big loss. They even lost the opportunity. Sigh! There's no other way! "
A businessman in purple said.
. "A few days ago, someone bought more than a dozen real estate in one breath. At that time, I wanted to buy a few, but after a day's delay, the house was bought by someone else. I almost lost it."
A fat businessman said gloomily.
.. "Haha! Brother, you must have thought that the other party must be in a hurry to sell so many real estate in one breath. There was still room for negotiation. You wanted to bargain and let the seller wait a little longer. In the end, someone else beat you to it. "
A thin old man said.
These guys were all smart. They naturally understood that the fat businessman must have intended to bargain, but because of this, he missed a good opportunity and let someone else beat him to it.
The fat businessman could not be blamed. Before the news of the railway station's size came out, there was indeed no room for the house price to rise. What should rise had already risen. The buyer sold more than a dozen real estate in one breath, which naturally made people wonder if he was in a hurry. Therefore, as a smart businessman, he was naturally willing to take advantage of this opportunity to bargain. Who would have thought that it would be intercepted by someone else? In just one more day, more than a dozen real estate were all bought by someone else. It was really unexpected.
The fat businessman was naturally very regretful, but there was no medicine for regret in the world. He just wanted to spend less money, but he missed the opportunity to make a huge profit. It could be said that he really suffered a big loss.
"Brother, what's there to regret? The person who sold more than a dozen real estate is the one who really deserves to regret. We lost so much all of a sudden. I wonder who sold more than a dozen real estate. Brothers, do you know?"
An old merchant asked as he looked at the crowd.
The businessmen looked at each other. Clearly, they were not very clear. They all knew about this matter, but they did not know who sold the real estate. They could not be blamed. Those dozen real estate belonged to the Deqin family, and it was their secret industry. It was usually hidden very well, and generally, no one knew about it. However, the Deqin family had no traitors. Therefore, they suspected that these industries and the people who maintained these industries had been exposed. Their family was in a hurry to develop elsewhere, so they could not wait to evacuate and let the person who bought the real estate take advantage of them.
"I don't know who the other party is. He looks very mysterious. The people who come in contact with me are not my masters. Forget it, what's the point of talking about this? It's no longer realistic to want to buy real estate now. Those who want to sell are in their hands, waiting for the price to rise. Let's think about what will happen after the city expands in the future! When the time comes, we will still have a chance to build more houses in the newly expanded city. "
The fat businessman said.
When the businessmen heard this, they all nodded in agreement. They could not buy real estate now, but they might still have a chance after the new real estate was built in the future. After all, after the city expanded, it was impossible to keep all the new real estate. They would have to sell some of it to the businessmen. As the businessmen with the highest status, they naturally had the opportunity to buy some real estate.
"Do you think the Angji family will be responsible for expanding the city and building many new houses in the future? Or do you think both of them will be responsible for it?"
A businessman asked.
"It should be the Angji family! The existing city and houses here were all built by the Angji family. This is the Angji family's territory. Even if we expand in the future, the Angji family will naturally be responsible for it. There is no doubt about it. "
The fat businessman said.
"I don't think so. It's true that this is the Angji family's territory, but the best gem mine also belongs to the Angji family! In the end, they still gave half of it to the Tang Dynasty. Since they can give half of the gem mine to the Tang Dynasty, why can't they give half of it to the Tang Dynasty when they expand the city? "
"That's reasonable. It's said that a gentleman's wealth is his own ruin. The Angji family is just a small force. Without the help of the Tang Dynasty, how could they own such a good gem mine? It would have been robbed by others long ago!"
"Yes! Without the help of the Tang Dynasty, the Angji family would have been destroyed long ago. In order to repay the Tang Dynasty, they gave part of their profits to the Tang Dynasty as a protection fee. The Tang Dynasty can take it with a clear conscience. When they expand the city in the future, they may work together with the Tang Dynasty. At that time, they will definitely take the biggest part and leave a part to sell to us. At that time, we must seize the opportunity and never lose it again. "
"It's hard to say. What if they only rent and don't sell? I've heard that in Chang 'an City of the Tang Dynasty, there are many shops and houses directly controlled by the imperial court. They are only rented to businessmen and people, but they are not sold. These houses have always belonged to the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty. The Angji family is so close to the Tang Dynasty. It's hard to guarantee that they won't copy the practice of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, when they expand the city, they will only rent but not sell. In that case, we can only pay rent every year. "
"I hope not. If we can only rent, then we will suffer a loss. We have to pay rent every year to rent. In the end, the house will be ours. It's better to buy a house ourselves."
A group of businessmen chatted together.
In the secret room of the Deqin family, the head of the Deqin family was in a very bad mood. He had never expected that the station built by the Tang Dynasty in the Angji family was so much larger than other places. As a result, his previous plan suffered a great loss. He hurriedly sold the Angji family's property in the Stone City and went to another station a hundred miles south to buy a batch of houses. As a result, because the Angji family's station was relatively large, the price of the house quickly rose, while the Deqin family's newly bought house continued to fall in price. The businessmen there also knew very well that the Angji family's station was the future commercial center. Therefore, they hurriedly sold the houses in their hands and prepared to buy shops and do business in the Stone City of the Angji family. The fall in price in their lifetime made the Deqin family suffer a great loss.
Selling the Angji family's property in the Stone City early made them earn a lot less money, which was really a big loss. The property a hundred miles away that they hurriedly bought had fallen in price, which made them lose a lot of money. The two losses made the head of the Deqin family regret. Even if he had avoided the Angji family, he should not have let the family suffer such a big loss. Although their actual loss was only the part of the falling price of the newly bought house, the price of the house that they had sold had risen many times. In the eyes of the head of the Deqin family, it was a loss for his family. If he had played for a few days and sold it, his family's property could have been sold for several times more money. But now, all of it was gone. It was strange that he was not depressed.
"I was one step behind. I was one step behind. It's really depressing. "
The head of the Deqin family remorsefully paced back and forth in the secret room.
The newly bought house did not fall in price too much, so the loss was nothing. It did not make his heart ache too much. However, the house that he had sold had now risen five times in price in just a few days. Moreover, there was still the potential to continue rising in price. This made his heart ache. It should be known that most of these properties were large properties with relatively high value. The largest one was a five-sectioned courtyard. There were also a few three-sectioned and four-sectioned houses. In addition, there was a two-storey restaurant that was quite large. The original value of these properties was very high. Now that it had risen five times, the price was even more sky-high. And because of his decision, these sky-high priced properties belonged to someone else, causing his family to lose a lot of assets. How could he not be depressed?
"Head of the family, the properties have been sold. It's too late to regret now."
One of the elders sighed.
It was obvious that this elder had resentment in his heart. Back then, when the head of the Deqin family had requested to sell the properties urgently, he had spoken up to stop him. However, the head of the family had insisted on selling the properties. Now that they had suffered heavy losses, he naturally blamed the head of the family in his heart. However, he did not dare to say anything and could only express his dissatisfaction with his tone.
The head of the Deqin family naturally understood that he had done wrong. However, he was the head of the family after all. Even if he had done wrong, he could not casually admit it. Otherwise, it would greatly reduce his authority as the head of the family.
It's useless to think about this now. After all, that is the territory of the Angi family. Our family and the Angi family are already mortal enemies. We have also done things that caused the Angi family to suffer heavy losses. Sooner or later, we will be suppressed. If we sell it early, we might be able to gain something. If we sell it late and the Angi family forcibly takes it, our losses will be even greater. "
The head of the Deqin family said.
Obviously, what he said was not a lie. In order to retaliate against the Angi family for cooperating with the Tang dynasty and not giving them a share of the gem mine, the Deqin family joined forces with the other five families and ambushed the Angi family's caravan halfway, causing huge losses to the Angi family. Hundreds of core disciples died. The Angi family must know about this matter, but there was no definite evidence. However, no one could be sure that the Angi family would not be able to find evidence. In addition, with the support of the Tang dynasty, evidence was not very important. As long as the Angi family suspected the Deqin family, they could use this as an excuse to confiscate all the properties of the Deqin family in the Angi family's Stone City. The former spy had betrayed them. This traitorous spy might have told the Angi family about the existence of these properties. In this way, these properties could be forcibly confiscated by the Angi family at any time. With the support of the Tang dynasty, even if the Angi family did so, the Deqin family could not do anything about it.
Of course, the head of the Deqin family would never have thought that although his family's spy had betrayed them, he did not tell the Angi family about the family's properties in the Angi family's Stone City. Instead, he took his family to Chang 'an City. Therefore, the Angi family did not know where the Deqin family's properties were buried in the Angi family. They only knew a few of them. Most of the properties and personnel were unknown. The head of the Deqin family was so scared that he sold all his properties.
