Chapter 324: Tianting Guiyuan and Yunting Yayuan
Lan Wei was very satisfied with the crowd's reaction and said seriously:
"It is definitely expensive, after all, these materials are not easy to come by."
Actually, in modern times, what is really expensive is land.
But in ancient times, land was worthless, so if a house was to be sold at a high price, the cost of materials would naturally have to be factored in.
Yuan Guangjin asked again:
"So, how much money does this villa complex you mentioned cost?"
If the price is so high that they can't afford it, it's useless no matter how good it is.
Lan Wei said:
"Master Yuan, this villa community is called Tianting Guiyuan. It has a total of 36 single-family villas. One family does not need so many houses. Currently, the price of one villa is tentatively set at 100,000 taels of silver. Twelve units will be sold in the first phase, and the construction will be divided into three phases."
"Hiss——" The ministers couldn't help but gasp.
Then they all shook their heads and sighed.
One building costs 100,000 taels. The entire villa complex has 36 buildings, so wouldn’t that cost 3.6 million taels?
Are you here to rob me?
Moreover, the mansions of these ministers are separate, each covering at least dozens of acres. If they belong to a noble family, they may even cover hundreds of acres.
But this villa community only has 300 acres of land, and it is actually sold for 3.6 million taels?
You know, their mansion has more than a dozen courtyards and is only worth about 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver.
The Minister of Rites Wen Qingyun came from a noble family. The Wen Mansion was a mansion, covering an area of two hundred acres, which was more than half the size of a residential district. However, he estimated that the Wen Mansion was worth at most one hundred thousand taels.
Moreover, their mansions are all located in the center of the capital.
Wen Qingyun said:
"Boss Lan, there are only 20 to 30 rooms in this house. If it is a big family, it is not enough to live in. Take my Wen Mansion for example. There are hundreds of people in it. I am afraid it will take up half of the community. But at this price, I guess few families can afford it."
Lan Wei looked towards Gu Xi. Seeing these ministers sighing, could it be that they couldn't afford it or were reluctant to buy it?
If we cannot pre-sell the future houses, our capital chain will be broken.
Gu Xi nodded confidently at him, telling him not to pay any attention and to just continue selling.
Lan Wei said:
"Lord Wen, right? May I ask how many of the hundreds of people in the Wen Mansion are masters?"
Wen Qingyun said:
"Forty or fifty people."
Lan Wei said:
"That's it. Forty or fifty masters need hundreds of servants to serve them. Doesn't it cost money to buy slaves? And they need to be paid monthly, right? Managing so many slaves must be very laborious, right?"
Wen Qingyun nodded and said:
"Of course, but if there aren't so many slaves, you can't let the master do the work himself, right?"
Lan Wei said:
"All villas in Tianting Guiyuan have their own gates and courtyards, which are specially prepared for one family. The building area is 3,000 square meters. On average, the price per square meter is only more than 30 taels. This price is only the down payment price, and it will definitely increase later."
"Moreover, each villa is equipped with the most advanced furniture and appliances, with automated operation. For a family of forty or fifty, only three or five servants are needed to do the shopping and cooking. With at most two buildings, it will be enough for Lord Wen and his family to live in."
Wen Qingyun frowned and said:
"Is it really that magical? You can make a fire without chopping wood, and you can sweep the floor without manpower?"
Lan Wei nodded and said:
"If you don't believe me, Lord Wen, you can go to the model room in a few days to take a look. If you are satisfied, you can place an order."
Yan Qingfeng also asked:
"Boss Lan, even if we don't need so many servants, we still need to guard the house, and three or five servants are definitely not enough."
Lan Wei smiled and said:
"The community will be equipped with a professional security team. There will be people on duty at the gate 24 hours a day, and there will be people patrolling the community every hour. Lord Yan does not need to worry about safety issues."
"We also have a professional cleaning team that is responsible for cleaning and greening the community's public areas. Residents only need to pay a small amount of property fees."
Yuan Guangjin said regretfully:
"It's good, but one hundred thousand taels is indeed too expensive. I don't have enough money, so I can't afford it."
The population of the Yuan Mansion is relatively simple, with a dozen masters and over a hundred servants. If the servants were to be dismissed, one villa would be enough.
But one hundred thousand taels is still a bit expensive.
Lan Wei changed another rendering and said:
"What I just introduced to you is the most expensive villa area, and the price is naturally the most expensive. Now I will introduce you to a high-end community called Yunting Yayuan."
"This building is designed with six units per building, a total of 18 floors, divided into two types of units: four bedrooms and two living rooms, and two bedrooms and one living room. They are also equipped with various furniture and appliances, but the grade is slightly lower."
The ministers looked at the projected rendering in amazement.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how can this building be built so high?"
"The tallest tower in our capital city is only seven stories high, right?"
"Eighteen floors, isn't that high up to the sky? It won't fall, right?"
Lan Wei said:
"Of course it won't collapse! This is a reinforced concrete building. It can withstand at least a magnitude 7 earthquake. It's very stable."
Zhang Ji heard the reinforced concrete again and asked:
"I really want to see this reinforced concrete. Five years ago, there was a major earthquake in Shuzhou, which caused countless deaths and injuries. It was like a hell on earth. If reinforced concrete houses can really withstand earthquakes, then even if they are more expensive, I'm afraid someone will buy them."
Lan Wei warmly invites:
"Mr. Zhang wants to see reinforced concrete. You can go to the new city in the north of the city to see it someday. You are welcome to visit at any time."
Yuan Guangjin was still thinking about the air-conditioned room, and asked impatiently:
"How much does this kind of house cost?"
Lan Wei said:
"Sir Yuan, this kind of building is sold by square meter, and the price varies slightly on different floors. The average price is about thirty taels of silver per square meter. For a two-bedroom, one-living room house like this, a total of eighty-eight square meters, plus the house maintenance fund and various taxes, the total price is less than three thousand taels of silver."
"This kind of house with four bedrooms and two living rooms is about 140 square meters, and it only costs a little over 4,000 taels."
Yuan Guangjin calculated in his heart, then slapped his thigh and said:
"This is great! Buying three sets will only cost a little over 10,000 taels, which is enough for us to live in! Mr. Lan, I want to reserve three sets!"
The Yuan family is not well-off, so buying a villa is too much of a burden, but they can still afford more than ten thousand taels.
Zhang Ji poked him with his arm:
"Master Yuan, don't be impulsive. This building has 18 floors. You are not a god and you can't fly. Wouldn't your waist break if you climb up there?"
Yuan Guangjin suddenly realized and said hurriedly:
"Then I'll buy one on the first or second floor."
Lan Wei opened an animated video of an elevator, projected it onto the wall, and said:
"Master Yuan, the higher the floor, the better the view. As for the problem of climbing stairs, you don't have to worry. These tall buildings have elevators. After entering, you can reach the eighteenth floor from the first floor in a few breaths."
The ministers were stunned.
Everything they saw today was beyond their understanding.
