Chapter 323 The first batch of customers
Yuan Guangjin looked back and saw that the emperor had arrived, and he quickly saluted. All the ministers also saluted Gu Xi.
At Gu Xi's insistence, kneeling was changed to bowing or saluting.
Forget about shaking hands. Gu Xi is a jealous person and there is no way she would shake hands with another male.
"Your Majesty, this air conditioner feels so comfortable. I just wonder if mortals like us can ask the Heaven for such a magical weapon?" Yuan Guangjin asked shamelessly.
He is born with a strong temper, and he finds summer particularly difficult to endure.
Even with ice, I often have trouble sleeping during the dog days of summer.
If I could have such a magical weapon, it would be enough for my life.
The newly appointed Minister of Revenue, Yan Qingfeng, teased:
"Lord Yuan, you are overthinking. Even if Your Majesty can obtain such a divine weapon, it must be very valuable. How can a mortal like us afford it?"
Zhang Ji also echoed:
"Yes, yes, it is indeed something that only exists in heaven. I can't even tell what the air conditioner is made of."
……
Gu Xi stood with his hands in his sleeves, watching the ministers discuss with a smile, and finally said:
"It's not difficult for everyone to use air conditioning. Just find Mr. Lan."
Gu Xi pointed at Lan Wei behind him.
"Let me introduce you. This is the president of Huaxia Land, Lan Wei. He is currently in charge of the construction of the new city."
Lan Wei took a few steps forward. These were his first batch of customers and would become his agents in the future to attract more people to buy houses, so he had to provide good service.
"Hello, everyone. The air conditioners that Your Majesty mentioned will be installed in all the houses in the new city. Not only will there be air conditioning, but there will also be floor heating, which can ensure that the room is like spring all year round."
The ministers looked at this guy with very short hair and looked at each other in confusion.
I met him on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival and knew that he was a subordinate of the Empress, but what was this China Real Estate?
"This is Mr. Lan, right? What is China Real Estate?" Zhang Ji asked.
Lan Wei put on a professional smile and patiently explained:
"Mr. Zhang, Huaxia Land is the name of the company. You can think of it as a brand like the Baolai Silver House and Qingfeng Study in Beijing. Our company specializes in real estate development, that is, building houses. All the houses in the new city will be developed by our company."
Yuan Guangjin asked:
"You mean, all the houses in the new city will be equipped with this kind of air conditioner?"
Lan Wei nodded and said:
"That's right. The air conditioner needs to blow out cold air, but it can't just rely on the air conditioner itself. It also needs electricity. The new city will have a power plant, and the facilities inside will be more and better than the Imperial Master's Mansion, such as electric lights."
Lan Wei pressed the switch, and the ceiling light in the room lit up. Although it was daytime, everyone could feel that the light was far brighter than their lanterns.
Yuan Guangjin was moved and asked:
"How much does the house in the new city cost?"
Lan Wei did not directly answer Yuan Guangjin's question. Instead, he took out a projector, projected it onto the white wall of the conference room, and then said:
"Don't worry, Master Yuan. I will show you the renderings first."
All the ministers were attracted by his projector. They had seen Gu Xi use this thing in the court before. It seemed that Mr. Lan was a favorite of His Majesty, and such a fairy treasure could be given to him.
Lan Wei first showed the rendering of the community’s appearance.
The ministers looked at the magnificent buildings. There were green trees and red flowers between each building, as well as rockery and flowing water, and the water could even spray high into the sky.
It’s so beautiful, even the imperial palace isn’t as beautiful as this. Could this be a paradise in heaven?
Looking at everyone's wide eyes, Lan Wei smiled smugly and switched the scene to the interior.
The curtains of the large floor-to-ceiling windows will open automatically.
There was a crystal chandelier in the ceiling of the main hall. The ministers looked at the clear and transparent glass and realized that it was a waste of natural resources!
If anyone has a set of such exquisite colored glass, wouldn’t they put it up for worship?
The sofa and coffee table below looked like magical objects in the eyes of the ministers.
This villa has three floors, and each floor is decorated magnificently. Even the floor and walls of the toilet seem to be decorated with white jade.
Yuan Guangjin looked at it for a while and asked:
“Why don’t you see the air conditioner?”
Lan Wei smiled and said:
"The houses in the villa area are designed with central air conditioning. Look here."
Lan Wei pointed to a square object on the roof and introduced it:
"The effect of central air conditioning is much better than this cabinet unit. It doesn't take up much space, it's beautiful, and there are air outlets in every room."
"Moreover, each villa is equipped with floor heating. If it is turned on, you can still wear only thin clothes even in the coldest days of winter."
"There's also a kitchen here. You don't need to chop wood or light a fire. You can just turn this button and cook. There's also a refrigerator. You can put raw meat in there and freeze it. It won't go bad even if it takes half a year."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is a faucet. Just turn it and running water will come out. There is no need to dig a well to get water."
"There is also a washing machine. You throw the clothes in, press a button, and take them out after half an hour. They are clean and there is no need to wash them manually."
"This robot vacuum cleaner can sweep the floor and clean it very well, which can greatly save manpower. You gentlemen don't have to support so many servants."
Zhang Ji stroked his beard and exclaimed in amazement:
"The houses in heaven are indeed incomparable to those on earth. My Ministry of Works has countless skilled craftsmen. We may be able to build a three-story building like this, but we are powerless to decorate the interior."
Lan Wei laughed and said:
"Master Zhang, the houses built by the Ministry of Works are either wooden structures or brick and tile houses. But the houses of our Huaxia Land are made of reinforced concrete. They will not collapse even in an earthquake."
The ministers were dumbfounded.
"Reinforced concrete? My Ministry of Industry has never heard of this thing." Zhang Ji was surprised.
Lan Wei continued to introduce:
"You will see it later. Look at this French window again. How does it compare to the windows in your house?"
Zhang Ji said with emotion:
"It's so clear and transparent, it's as if there were no windows. I've never seen glass this transparent before."
Lan Wei explained:
"This is called glass. Don't be fooled by the fact that these glass windows are transparent. In fact, they are all tempered glass, which cannot be broken even if you smash it."
Yuan Guangjin murmured:
"It would be nice if there were houses like this in the mortal world. They wouldn't be cold in the winter or hot in the summer, and the house would be so bright and spacious, and it would be comfortable just by looking at it."
Lan Wei choked.
After all this time of introducing me, you thought I was showing you a science fiction movie?
"Master Yuan, what I'm showing you is the house in our new city. You will be able to live in such a house in one or two years at most. After a while, the model house will be built. I will organize a house viewing group to visit the house. All of you can sign up and experience it on site."
"Ah?" The ministers were all confused.
They also heard that the north of the city was enclosing land to build a new city, but they didn't expect that they would build such a fairy-like house.
Zhang Ji's eyes lit up.
"Boss Lan, is what you said true? But a house like this must be extremely expensive, right?"
