The shopkeeper of the Angji family was eager to buy the shops, so he naturally hoped that the transaction could be completed as soon as possible. Once the opportunity was missed, the blue-clothed businessman would know that the Tang dynasty was going to build eight-lane cars in North City. Things would inevitably change. At that time, if he wanted to buy the shops again, he would have to spend many times more money, or even not be able to buy the shops at all.
Because North City was relatively prosperous, the business of the shops was not bad, so there were not many cases of selling shops. This time, the shopkeeper of the Angji family found that two shops were about to be sold soon, so he hurriedly negotiated with the two businessmen. He personally negotiated with the blue-clothed businessman, while his confidant was in charge of the other businessman. His goal was to buy the two shops as soon as possible. At the same time, he temporarily closed the shops and sent the shop assistants to negotiate for five ordinary houses. This time, the shopkeeper of the Angji family not only wanted to buy the two shops, but also five ordinary houses. Two of these houses were three-sectioned courtyards, which could be regarded as high-quality real estate in the city where land was precious.
But the premise of achieving this goal was that they could sign the agreement as soon as possible, and the money and goods would be settled. If they only had the intention and needed to delay time, it would be meaningless. Ang Lee would soon announce the decision of the Tang dynasty. At that time, the shopkeeper of the Angji family could only look at the houses and sigh.
At this time, the puzzled question of the blue-clothed businessman made the shopkeeper of the Angji family very worried. If this businessman delayed for a few days, he would completely lose this opportunity.
However, what the blue-clothed merchant said was also very reasonable. What difference did it make if it was a day earlier or a day later? There was no need for the shopkeeper to be so anxious. The more anxious he was, the more suspicious it seemed. This made the blue-clothed merchant have to be suspicious and vigilant.
The shopkeeper of the Angji Family sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, half a month ago, the head of the family sent me a letter asking me to buy two shops as soon as possible. He even wrote down the deadline and asked me to complete it on time. Although it's not my fault, the head of the family had an accident on the way and only delivered the letter early this morning, leaving me one day to prepare. Although it's not my fault, the head of the family has a problem with me. This time, if he catches hold of my weakness, I'm afraid my position as shopkeeper will be replaced by the head of the family's youngest son. Humph, that playboy, no matter character or ability, how can he be compared with me? He just relies on the fact that his father is the head of the family, so he doesn't put me in his eyes. All these years, I've been managing the family's shops in North City to avoid this bastard, but I didn't expect that because I've made some achievements in these years, I've been targeted by this playboy. From time to time, he wants to come and take advantage of me directly. I've resolved the previous few times, but this time, he actually came again. He only gave me half a month's time, which is already tight enough, but the letter was delivered too late, leaving me only one day's time to prepare. I have no choice but to let the shop assistants help me buy shops. As long as we buy two shops, it'll be enough. If you don't settle the money and goods with me as soon as possible, when my shop assistants buy the two shops, I won't be able to buy your shop anymore. So, only by settling the money and goods as soon as possible can our deal be completed."
Although this was made up by the shopkeeper of the Angi Family, the lie was real. The blue-clothed merchant believed most of it. If this was the case, he really had to trade with the shopkeeper of the Angi Family as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the shopkeeper of the Angi Family bought two shops in advance, he would not be able to sell his shop. This time, the price given by the shopkeeper of the Angi Family was indeed fair. In addition, the shopkeeper could help him to dispose of all his remaining goods. Where could he find such a good deal?
"Haha! Brother Angi, I think the boy who delivered the letter did it on purpose! How could there be such a coincidence? Most of the time, it was the son of your family's patriarch who bribed him. Alas, it's not a good thing to have someone keeping an eye on you. Even if Brother Angi escaped this time, he will come again next time. "
The blue-clothed merchant said.
He was also very familiar with the intrigue within a big family. After all, he originally came from a family. He was quite familiar with the situation of the family. He also understood what kind of situation it was for a family member to be targeted by the son of the patriarch.
The shopkeeper of the Angi Family sighed and said helplessly, "Brother, you are right. I can escape once, but I may not be able to escape the next time. However, I can escape once. As long as I stay in the position of shopkeeper for one more day, I can get more benefits for myself. My children can also live an easier life in the future."
"Well! It seems that Brother Angi is not easy. I will not take advantage of the situation. The price of the remaining goods is fixed. This is the price! "
The blue-clothed merchant stretched out his finger and gave a price.
The Angji Family shopkeeper's mouth twitched. The price given was not the price of the finished goods. It was clearly the normal retail price, and the finished goods would inevitably have some defects. It was not a discount, but it was actually sold at the retail price. It was really black-hearted. However, the Angji Family shopkeeper couldn't care so much. Anyway, the price of the shop would soon increase. This loss was nothing.
"Well, it's settled."
The shopkeeper of the Angi Family's eyes showed a trace of reluctance, but he still agreed.
Later, the two left the restaurant one after the other and went to the shop of the blue-clothed merchant. After a series of procedures were completed, the blue-clothed merchant got a lot of money with satisfaction. Then, he went to the most high-end hotel in North City and prepared to rest for a few days before leaving North City.
At this time, both sides of the transaction were secretly happy. The blue-clothed merchant was happy because the shop and the remaining goods were sold at a relatively good price. The shopkeeper of the Angi Family was happy because he finally bought the shop. As long as the news of the Tang dynasty was released, the price of the shop would immediately double.
At the same time, the confidants and subordinates of the shopkeeper of the Angi Family had completed their respective tasks and finally bought the two shops and five houses on the market. Moreover, the procedures were all completed within a day. All the shops had been replaced and the plates had been removed. All the houses had been hired craftsmen to clean and tidy up, and the door locks had also been changed.
All this done by the shopkeeper of the Angi Family did not attract the attention of people. Their actions were so fast that all the businessmen did not react. Only the petty official in North City, who was in charge of the land deeds, seemed to have found some problems.
As a petty official in North City, he usually handled fixed asset transactions for people, but he had never completed all the procedures in one day. Most of the transactions lasted about a month, and all kinds of negotiations and procedures were very time-consuming.
But this time, the shopkeeper of the Angi Family and his subordinates all completed all the procedures in one day. In order to complete these procedures, the shopkeeper of the Angi Family gave a lot of money to the petty official in charge of this matter. Otherwise, even if they could persuade the seller, many procedures could not be completed immediately. Although these petty officials did not have high official positions, they were very arrogant. If they deliberately delayed for a month, there was nothing they could do. Moreover, these procedures could not be completed by a petty official. They also needed to go to several government offices and get several petty officials to stamp before they could take effect. As long as there was one delay among so many petty officials, the matter could not be completed immediately. Every petty official had to compete for money. As long as the money was in place, they immediately became spirited. Those who were originally lying down and drinking tea immediately sat up, took out the printer in their sleeves, and settled the matter easily.
If you did not bribe them, they had ways to not stamp. The reasons were nothing more than needing to check the agreement carefully, sending people to investigate on the spot, and other confusing reasons. In short, the agreement was put aside first and came back to pick it up after a month. If there was still no way, then it would be delayed for another month until the parties involved in the procedures had no way to bribe them. Only then would they stamp reluctantly.
Even if they bribed them, many procedures still required the buyer and the seller to go to various government offices, which was also time-consuming. One day was naturally not enough, but if there was a petty official who was proficient in all the procedures to follow them all the way, the efficiency would be as high as the sky. These petty officials were very familiar with the procedures, and at the same time, they were brothers with these petty officials who stamped. With them in charge of running the front and back, the efficiency of the work would be increased by ten times.
Of course, these petty officials were naturally not easily ordered around. You had to give them enough benefits before they would deign to run around with you. This way, the transaction between the buyer and the seller would be settled as soon as possible.
Because he had gone through seven transactions in a row, the small official was also very tired. However, when he thought about how the extra money he earned today was equivalent to half a year's salary, he didn't feel tired anymore. If he could earn half a year's salary every day, then even if his legs broke from running, he would still be willing to do it.
Since he had received so much money all of a sudden, he naturally had to reward himself well. After the petty official completed the last transaction, he dragged his tired body into the restaurant Ang Lee was in. He opened his mouth and ordered a few dishes. At the same time, there were also a few petty officials who were in charge of real estate transactions. They were all in the same boat. Usually, they would work together to cheat the buyers and sellers who were going through the procedures, reaping a lot of benefits from it. This also caused the merchants of the entire North City to feel a wave of hatred whenever they thought of them.
"Brothers, I'm exhausted today. You all just lay there and did not move, but I had to run back and forth. I ran seven times in a day. Even if my body was made of iron, it would not be able to take it!"
The petty official in charge of running errands said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, alright. What's wrong with running seven times? Do you think we don't know what kind of person you are? Without enough benefits, how can you be so proactive? You even rushed me, as if that merchant was your ancestor."
A petty official in charge of stamping said disdainfully.
The petty official chuckled and retorted, "If I don't give enough benefits, even if I shout at the top of my lungs to urge you, you won't move. You're lying down to reap benefits, but I'm the one who's earning the hard work."
"That's enough! You only ran a few steps, and you still have the nerve to say it's hard work. You earned the most, so you're treating today. "
"That's right. You can clearly see how many benefits we've received, but we don't know how many benefits you've received. Who knows how many benefits you've received compared to us?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Whoever earns more will treat."
Several petty officials in charge of stamping said cunningly. They could all guess that the petty official in charge of running errands must have gotten more benefits than them. Otherwise, he would not be so proactive in running errands with the shopkeeper and the others. Moreover, he was so proactive in running errands. It was very abnormal that he did not put on any airs in front of these low-class people.
The petty official chuckled and said, "I really didn't get much. It's about the same as what you guys got. It's just more money for wine and meat. If I treat all of them, I'll get the same amount as you guys. Really."
In fact, even if the petty official got more benefits, these petty officials in charge of stamping would not have much objection. After all, they could get benefits regularly, but the petty official was not the same. Most of the people who went through the formalities did not need the help of petty officials. At most, they would spend more time looking for petty officials in various government offices. Therefore, it was not easy for a petty official to get a business. This petty official was not full-time in this field. He had his own position, but it was relatively idle. He usually had nothing to do, so he found a part-time job for himself to earn some extra money. After all, it was not as good as the petty official in charge of stamping. Of course, the petty official's position was not as good as these petty officials in charge of stamping. Therefore, even if he was a few years older than these petty officials, he still called himself a younger brother and did not dare to offend these petty officials. Otherwise, if these petty officials did not cooperate, he would not be able to earn extra money.
"Hehehe."
The petty officials in charge of stamping laughed. They did not believe it. However, they got more benefits this time. It was almost twice as much as usual. It could be seen that An Ang, the shopkeeper, and the others were very anxious to buy these houses. It was the first time they had seen such an urgent transaction.
"There were seven transactions on this day, and the person who bought the houses was the same person. Moreover, he bought them in such a hurry. This situation has never happened before."
"That's right! Buying a house is not like buying groceries. Just the bargaining between the buyer and the seller will take a long time. The procedures can't be completed in a short time. If we stamp it so quickly, it's against the rules. If there's a mistake in the drawings and house they gave, we'll have made a mistake. "
"What are you afraid of? They don't have the guts to lie to us. How can there be a mistake in a house that is measured by both the buyer and the seller? We don't even have to go to the site to check. This way, they can save time and we can save this trip."
"Don't change the topic. What I mean is, why is this person so anxious to buy the houses? It seems that if we don't do it now, these houses will be snatched away tomorrow. When did the houses in our North City become so popular?"
"Indeed, this is very abnormal! Could this be related to the officials of the Tang dynasty entering North City? I heard that 3,000 Tang dynasty soldiers are stationed outside the city, and more than 100 people have entered the city. Could there be any connection between the two? "
