On this day, an auction house was officially opened in the west city of Chang'an City near Zhuque Street, named "Jubaoxuan"!

Not only is the name of this auction house similar to the "Jubaolou" that is not far away, but the auction items are the same as the "fist" products of "Jubaolou" that have always been - glass!

Moreover, what makes everyone, especially those who often go to the Western Regions, happy is that this auction house does not auction glass according to the principle of the higher price, and the price of the glass they sell is actually unified. They auction the quantity of glass, which means that as long as you have enough money, you can buy as much as you want! Moreover, their glass is about 30% lower than the lowest auction price in "Jubaolou"!

This makes those merchants happy or even excited! You should know that as long as glass is transported to the Western Regions, especially in India, as long as the pattern of Buddha statues is printed on the glass, even a mirror as big as a palm can be exchanged for half the size of gold!

So, on the first day of opening, many businessmen gathered at the entrance of "Jubaoxuan" and filled the entire street!

"Mr. Lang, good news. In less than an hour, our income has exceeded 100,000 yuan!"

"Hahaha, okay, it's really huge profits! With less than a million yuan in cost, it's already ten times the return after selling less than one-third, hahaha..."

"By the way, Langjun, the restaurant has heard news that except for the one in Xishi, all the 'Food is Tian' have been 'closed and renovated' signs, and we finally defeated them!"

"Hahaha, today is indeed a good day. Double happiness comes, double happiness comes!"

"Today is indeed a good day, and there are more than two happy events. Just now, my subordinates got the news that they had already made a name for sending them to the East City to encourage those house owners to raise prices!"

"Oh? It seems to be successful!"

"Yes, our people have signed secret agreements with those people! But my subordinates are a little worried..."

"Hmph, what are you worried about? Worrying that Li Chengqian will give up buying those properties?"

"Yes, Chang'an City is so big that they can't buy real estate here, so they will definitely go to other places to buy it, then..."

"Don't worry, Li Chengqian will definitely buy the property there!"

"Oh? Why is Mr. Lang so sure?"

"Because he can't buy any real estate in other places... OK, you just need to act according to my arrangements, no need to ask more!"

"Yes, I'm talking too much!"

"Okay, let's notify those people and you can also act!"

"Yes, I understand!"

...

On the other hand, Li Chengqian returned to the Eastern Palace leisurely with the imperial edict that His Majesty Li Er had stamped the seal, and did not care about the same problem as Li Ke at all.

"Brother, what are you thinking? They raise prices so much, it is obvious that someone is instructing me to do. Why do you still have to buy real estate there?" Li Ke asked anxiously.

There was no way. Li Chengqian had previously told him to buy all the land that could be bought in several markets near Furong Garden, including shops and residences there.

At the beginning, it was fine, and the purchase of several pieces of land was very smooth, but in just a few days, many homeowners who had already reached the initial purchase intention actually repent and asked for an increase in the price, otherwise they would not sell the property!

Li Ke was not going to buy it at that time. Do you really think he is a fool? At an obviously abnormal price, why do you buy it yourself?

But Li Chengqian passed a message to him, saying that he would buy all the properties there at any cost, even if those people raised the price collectively, it didn't matter! So Li Chengqian rushed to the East Palace and asked Li Chengqian what he thought!

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Third brother, have you heard of the saying 'What you do is not necessarily what you think'?"

"Ah? What?"

"Didn't you ask you to find a hundred reliable people to come over before? Do you know where they went?"

Li Ke was stunned, "Yes, I almost forgot if I didn't say it. Where did the hundred people of different ages you asked me to find?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I'm in Chang'an City... and now they are all people with real estate in hand!"

"Hmm? Big Brother doesn't mean..." Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian with some differences and said, "Are those people in East City arranged by Big Brother?"

"What do you think? I'm not a fool. I know someone deliberately raises the price and still have to buy it!"

Li Chengqian's indifferent answer made Li Ke confused again, "No, how can you be sure that the other party will make trouble for us in this matter and buy those properties in advance?"

"I really don't know they will target us in this matter. As for buying those properties... Brother, I planned to build several modern residential communities early in the morning to enjoy the addiction of real estate developers, so I started buying land very early!"

"Modernization? Real estate? Developer? What?"

"You don't understand even after saying it. In short, just remember that your brother never does a loss-making business!"

Li Ke curled his lips speechlessly and stopped asking, "By the way, I came to find you just now. They said you were going to find your father, what's the matter?"

Li Chengqian threw the imperial edict to Li Ke, who rushed to catch the imperial edict, rolled his eyes at Li Chengqian, then opened the imperial edict and looked at it.

"Well? The Patent Protection Act? What?" The imperial edict announced that the Patent Protection Act was officially implemented and did not explain the specific content of the bill, so Li Ke asked Li Chengqian with some confusion.

"Simply put, it is something you invented and others cannot use. If you want to use it, you will have to give you a certain patent fee! Just like our glass, which I invented, then I have the patent rights of glass. If others obtain glass production technology and produce and sell without my permission, I have the right to sue him for infringement and ask the other party to stop producing glass and compensate me for ten times the profits obtained from the sale!"

Looking at Li Chengqian's slightly proud expression, Li Ke was secretly shocked. His elder brother was silent and did not expect to solve the leak of the glass production process in this way!

"By the way, how about registering a business license?"

"Oh, most of the merchants have already taken the initiative to register with the business department. According to my brother's instructions, they have provided them with a unified standard certificate and seal for free!"

"Well, that's good. The next step is to wait until all the shops are registered, you will start asking them to issue invoices when selling goods... This is a certificate of taxation from those shops, so don't be careless!" In order to achieve certain goals, Li Chengqian took great pains to move all the business management system in later generations, including the taxation "weapon" of invoices!

As for the invoice... After his "hard research", he finally converted several electric-powered printing machines into Datang printing machines with both human and animal power!

He can be 100% sure that no one can imitate or forge the invoices he issued yet!

If he hadn't had a very good understanding of currency and was afraid that the rash promotion of paper money would destroy the Tang Dynasty, he would have been planning to directly suggest his father to print paper money!

"Well, I understand." Li Ke nodded, "But it may be a bit troublesome to get all shops to register with the Commercial Bureau!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. The key is that some merchants don't understand and think we are going to be bad for them, so... and, according to the news I received, many merchants have started selling their shops and directly moved the goods to the streets to sell them in order to avoid applying for business licenses!"

"Well, it's normal... In this way, the business license will continue to be processed. As for those who run to the streets to sell goods, do you understand like this... and then... do you understand?" Li Chengqian explained in a low voice, and the expression on Li Ke's face also went from doubt to suddenness, to joy, and finally was deeply shocked!

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Ke couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Gao, really, Gao, the eldest brother is worthy of being the eldest brother!"

"Hahaha, that's necessary!" Li Chengqian also laughed un modestly!
