Chapter 218: Competing for Investment
The dinner was very sumptuous.
In order to entertain Sun Shan's family, Prince Heng Yang Yuanqing ordered the whole family, young and old, to attend the banquet tonight.
Even Yue Yunfei, the old fox, used the excuse of calming Sun Shan down and took his son Yue Qingyang to sit at the chairman's table.
After three rounds of drinks, Yue Yunfei couldn't help but ask about the business plan of building a bridge and creating a cultural circle that Sun Shan mentioned in the afternoon.
In order to adjust one's own funds and occupy a good position in time.
"Shan Ge'er, tell me, what's going on with your cultural circle? What do you plan to achieve, and how much money do you need to invest?"
Sun Shan swallowed a piece of delicious braised pork and took a sip of fruit wine.
Seeing that everyone at the table stopped to look at him, even the women at his mother's table were listening to what he had to say.
After thinking for a while, he said, "This plan is very large. It may be difficult for our Datong Chamber of Commerce to achieve the ideal goal alone. It is best for us to concentrate all the forces of Hengzhou, take Chuanshan Academy as the center, connect the two sides, build many representative tourist buildings, and make this area a business card of our Hengzhou."
"Then, through the power of culture, we will improve the overall quality of all residents of Hengzhou, and build Hengzhou into a sunny city of culture and civilization, and a commercial and tourist city with harmonious politics and people, famous throughout the empire!"
"In this way, the imperial elites who long for peace, tranquility, freedom and wealth will flock to our Hengzhou's entrepreneurial plan!"
In fact, this was a plan that Sun Shan came up with based on the advanced experience of Zibo a thousand years later.
Ever since he entered Chuanshan Academy, he was deeply shocked by the elegant scenery of mountains, trees, streams and various flowers and plants when he ran around Jiangxinzhou every morning.
They were considering relying on the reputation of Chuanshan Academy to turn the nearly ten square kilometers of beautiful scenery of Jiangxinzhou into a top scenic spot and comprehensive cultural park in the Sui Empire.
By then, we will build the largest library, a gymnasium that can accommodate 10,000 people, and a girls' college.
In this way, the combination of beautiful scenery and human culture naturally becomes a paradise that everyone yearns for.
So, after seeing several students dead this afternoon, an idea came to me.
Proposed to build a bridge at his own expense.
Yang Yuanqing and his son and Yue Yunfei and his son were stunned!
Unexpectedly, Sun Shan casually mentioned such a grand project.
Although, Sun Shan did not mention what specific projects there were.
However, just listening to the entrepreneurial concept that Sun Shan talked about makes one's scalp tingle!
Yue Qingyang swallowed hard and looked at his cheap brother-in-law who was one or two years younger than his son. He was shocked again.
Once again, Sun Shan's position in my heart was raised higher and higher!
"Brother Shan, can you be more specific? Why do I feel that your plan is even bigger than the real estate club?" Yue Yunfei took a sip of wine, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in a panic.
"Uncle, this is different from the real estate society. It is only for Hengzhou and is specifically designed for Chuanshan Academy because of its reputation and beautiful natural scenery."
Sun Shan first explained the original intention of his design.
Then, he slowly explained: "This is what I have envisioned for now. This bridge must be of the highest standard and be able to carry eight carriages traveling in opposite directions. At the same time, sidewalks specially built for pedestrians must be built on both sides..."
"Oh my God!"
Li Lianying, who was listening quietly at the side, secretly exclaimed and couldn't help but calculate how much money it would cost to build a bridge of this scale.
Sure enough, Yue Yunfei couldn't wait to ask: "Shan Ge'er, in this case, the cost of building this bridge alone is probably not a small amount. How high do you plan to build it, and how much do you expect to invest?"
"We will build it as high as possible. We need to ensure the normal passage of ships in the Xiangjiang River. In the future, when Hengzhou develops, water transportation may increase exponentially."
Sun Shan first talked about the requirements for building the bridge, and then talked about the investment: "It is estimated that the investment will be 100,000 taels. If necessary, we can add more!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion in the hall.
Especially the table where Sun Shan’s mother was sitting.
Yang Yuanqing knew Sun Shan's background very well. Although Sun Shan now held a lot of shares in Datong Chamber of Commerce and its subsidiaries, he did not have much cash of his own.
I couldn't help but ask with concern: "Shan Ge'er, can you come up with so much money? Is it necessary for you to invest so much again?"
"hehe-----"
Sun Shan did not answer at first, but smiled happily: "Uncle, it is very necessary. I, Sun Shan, believe that as long as it is beneficial to the people, it is worth investing in------"
Sun Shan's voice became excited as he spoke: "In life, we always have to pursue something. Building bridges and paving roads to benefit the people are all things worth pursuing and striving for throughout our lives. I hope that one day, a thousand years or a hundred years later, I will no longer be here, but this bridge will still be here, and it will still be a testimony that I, Sun Shan, have been here and have left something for this world!"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Yuanqing and Yue Yunfei were so excited that they slammed the table and shouted in unison: "Okay! I will also invest 20000 taels! I want to leave something behind too!"
Then, the two looked at each other. Feeling that the other had interrupted him, Yang Yuanqing could not help but yelled angrily: "Yue Lao San, what do you mean? You are here on my territory, and you still want to steal my limelight? I am the King of Heng, and it is my duty to fund the bridge construction for the people of my hometown. You should stay out of this matter!"
You know, no matter which era people are from, they all attach great importance to their reputation after death.
Especially in this feudal dynasty, family honor was highly valued.
If we can jointly invest with the initiator Sun Shan to build the bridge, in the future we will definitely erect stone tablets at both ends of the bridge according to the old rules, engraving the ins and outs of the construction and the people who built it.
Then, for the Hengwang Mansion, which has been entrenched in Hengzhou for more than 200 years, it must be a great achievement for thousands of years.
Because dynasties may be replaced, and people may be replaced.
However, this bridge will be passed down from generation to generation.
Then the honor of oneself and one's family will be passed down forever.
For Yang Yuanqing, a descendant of the dragon family with a net worth of tens of millions, this is the best honor.
"Yuanqing, it's meaningless if you say that. Is it wrong for me, Yue Lao San, to spend money to do good things?"
Yue Yunfei ignored Yang Yuanqing and turned to ask Sun Shan: "Shan'er, you are the initiator of this matter. Do you think your uncle Yue is qualified to invest in building the bridge?"
After saying this, he added meaningfully: "Uncle, I am also considering the future generations. My Yue family will move to Hengzhou this year and will become a part of Hengzhou. It's impossible for Yuanqing to pay for it and I just stand by and watch, right?"
When Yang Yuanqing heard that Yue Yunfei was going to move his entire family to Hengzhou within the year, he was stunned.
But he didn't let go, staring at Sun Shan tightly: "Shan'er, I gave you my precious daughter. My uncle and I have been kings in Hengzhou for generations. It's impossible for us not to participate in this grand event that will be passed down through the ages, right?"
These words made Yang Keyin blush immediately. She lowered her head and dared not look at her father and uncle-in-law arguing anymore.
These words made Sun Shan's family very happy.
After hearing this, the father and son of the Yue family pursed their lips and laughed secretly, as if everyone had no daughter.
Sun Shan saw that the two old men were vying to donate money to build the bridge in order to become famous.
I couldn't help but feel happy.
Such a good thing, of course, the more the better.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry, uncles. I have a plan. We can not only spend money and become famous, but also make a lot of money-----"
I rely on!
Yue Yunfei, who was a bit impatient, stood up upon hearing the voice and grabbed Sun Shan's arm: "Haha, there is such a good thing, Shan brother, tell us quickly, we can make money together!"
Then, he laughed like he was constipated: "We are all famous together, that's how we are a family!"
