From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 242 Real Estate Club Opening

On October 18th, the twelfth year of Yuanfeng in the Sui Dynasty, around eight o'clock in the morning, the headquarters of the real estate association located at the west end of Qingyun Street, next to the Datong community which was about to be built on a large scale, was preparing for its opening.

Sun Shan looked at the huge crowd below the stage and started to worry about today's employees.

Judging from the situation, there must be at least 80,000 or 90,000 people if not 100,000.

Today, he and Zhang Yuliang served as hosts of the opening ceremony and played a go-between role.

At present, the nominal general manager of Datong Chamber of Commerce is my cousin Sun Bing, and then there are the vice presidents who can fully represent several major families.

Because Sun Shan wanted to take the imperial examination and enter officialdom, he could only hold the title of a policy advisor in the Datong Chamber of Commerce, and his shares were registered under the name of his mother, Sun Chen.

There are a lot of people attending the opening ceremony today.

Not only the patriarchs of several major families, but also many of them brought the smart sons of their families to Hengzhou, planning to inspect the sales situation in the next few days and then expand their investment in the Datong Chamber of Commerce.

Officials at all levels from the entire Chuzhou government also came to the opening ceremony.

At this moment, Heng Wang Yang Qing, the major shareholder of Datong Chamber of Commerce, was smiling as he accompanied Ding Zhilai, the prefect of Chuzhou, and the prefects of other prefectures, introducing something non-stop.

Sun Shan looked at the sun above his head and felt that the time was about right.

Then, they pulled Zhang Yuliang and they both walked quickly to the front of the stage and stood in front of the loudspeaker made of thin iron sheets.

After calming down, he shouted excitedly: "Dear elders and fellow countrymen, all the young and old men who came to Hengzhou to start a business and make a fortune, and dear governors of Chuzhou, good morning!"

After saying this, he and Zhang Yuliang both bowed neatly.

"In this season full of hope, we are extremely excited to welcome the grand opening of our Datong Real Estate Association. First of all, on behalf of all the staff of Datong Chamber of Commerce, I would like to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the elders, fellow countrymen, officials and guests who have come to the opening ceremony today!"

“Our real estate community carries the mission of creating a better living environment for the society and is committed to providing high-quality, comfortable and safe homes for our customers.”

"We know that real estate is not just a pile of bricks, tiles and wood, but also the warmth of home, the stage of life and the starting point of dreams. Therefore, we will uphold the business philosophy of "people-oriented, integrity first" and use our expertise and enthusiasm to create an ideal living space for our customers."

"In the days ahead, we will be guided by customer needs, continuously innovate and improve our products, and provide better services. At the same time, we will actively fulfill our social responsibilities, commit to urban construction and environmental protection, and contribute our strength to the prosperity and development of society."

After Zhang Yuliang finished his long speech, Sun Shan added: "The original intention of establishing our Datong Chamber of Commerce is not just for our own pockets. We hope to gather everyone's strength to promote the rapid development of Hengzhou. I believe that the elders and villagers present here should have a deep understanding of this, right?"

At this time, the agents who had been arranged in the audience waved their arms vigorously and shouted hysterically: "We know! Thank you Shanzhong Xiucai, thank you Datong Chamber of Commerce, for bringing us a good life!"

Then, all the people in Hengzhou under the stage were inspired by Yue Fei's loud voice.

They all screamed at the same time.

After waiting for half a minute and his voice became quieter, Sun Shan spoke again, "I hope that our Datong Real Estate will not only sell houses, but also bring everyone a home of their own, a safe haven where they can gain a foothold in the great development of Hengzhou!"

“What we sell is not just a house made of bricks and tiles, but the starting point of everyone’s dream, the starting point where you can spread your wings and fly!”

"The reason why our Datong Chamber of Commerce is named Datong is that we hope that the whole world can have the same dream and the same splendor!"

"I also have a dream! I hope that all people can enjoy their old age and have children well taken care of."

"I hope the world will be peaceful without war and pain. I hope the world will be happy and peaceful, and everyone will be happy."

"I hope that people can live a better life. Everyone has enough food and a safe place to live, and no one suffers from poverty anymore."

“I want all children to receive a good education and have the opportunity to pursue their dreams.”

After speaking of this exciting dream, Sun Shan excitedly raised his left hand, with his palm facing outward as if he was making a vow, and shouted sincerely: "Today, my colleagues and I, under the care of our superiors at all levels and with the strong support of our fellow countrymen, are moving closer to our dream step by step."

"If everything goes well, our Datong Chamber of Commerce will build the Hengzhou Bridge by the end of next year, allowing unobstructed traffic on both sides of the Xiangjiang River. We will deliver 10000 residential units by the end of next year, and we will build the Hengzhou Women's Academy, Hengzhou Library and Sports Center in the first half of the year after next!"

"By then, Hengzhou will break through the existing work and life patterns and become the most emerging and developed city in the world today!"

When these words were spoken, not only the nearly 100,000 people under the stage were excited.

Even Ding Zhilai, the prefect of Chuzhou, who was sitting with Prince Heng Yang Yuanqing and was equivalent to the governor of a province a thousand years later, was in high spirits.

Of course he knew the changes that Datong Chamber of Commerce had brought to Hengzhou.

Even his family got a share of the development feast.

In the investment promotion that the real estate association was about to start, the company secretly manipulated the market and secured half of the brick and tile supply contracts.

Just with the estimated 50 taels of brick and tile materials, if the company completes the contract with guaranteed quality and quantity, it can earn more than taels of silver within two years.

Moreover, Sun Shan, who was speaking, also revealed that in the future the Mohist School would build more advanced brick kilns, which would bring higher profits.

This led the elders of the Ding family to pass messages to Ding Zhilai, asking him to establish good relations with the Datong Chamber of Commerce and strive to get more projects.

For example, if one could get the stone for building a bridge or the stone for building a stadium, he could make tens of thousands of taels of net profit.

You know, money is very hard to make in this era.

Even Yang Yuanqing, the Prince of Heng who owned nearly 100,000 acres of land, could not earn 100,000 taels of silver a year just by digging for food from the fields.

After all, the investment in land is huge, and after deducting expenses, the income is very limited.

"After the opening ceremony, if you are interested or have any needs, you can go to the model house we have built to take a closer look."

At this point, Sun Shan joked, "However, seeing how many people are here today, if everyone goes to watch the show, the threshold might be trampled down. So, if you are in urgent need, you can come and see it today. If you are not in urgent need, you can go to our sales office to get an appointment card and learn about our sales plan."

"If you are satisfied after viewing today, you need to pay a deposit of 100 silver taels for the villa and 10 taels of silver for the commercial housing. From now on, we will deliver the houses in the order in which the deposits are paid."

"As for apartment rentals, you don't need to pay any deposit, you just need to register in advance. As for the detailed details, you can find our real estate club sales department later and study it yourself."

After saying this, Sun Shan looked back at Yang Yuanqing, whose face was a little pale, and signaled him to get ready to speak.

Then, he said loudly: "Next, our Hengzhou's wise king will say something to our elders. Everyone warmly welcomes-----"

As he spoke, he bowed respectfully behind his back and shouted in a high voice: "Please welcome Lord Heng!"
