First of all, let's understand the origin and development of real estate. Ancient real estate transactions originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when there were bronzes engraved with the words "buying and selling houses". For thousands of years, the ancient feudal dynasty actually did not encourage real estate transactions, and even had many restrictions. There are also some bans on real estate in the twenty-four histories. "Han Shu" records: "If you want to buy a house at a profit, you are not allowed." Buying a house also requires the consent of the neighbors. "History of Ming Dynasty" records: "Find a post with public estimate", which means that the house price has gone up, and you can also find the previous buyer to make up the difference. As a result, the profits of real estate transactions are meager.
Then, let's talk about the merchants who made their fortune by real estate in ancient times. The first real estate developer in China history was Douwa. When Douwa started her business, she also sold some small commodities. What really makes him rich is filling cesspits and building houses. It sounds like an impossible thing, but Shawn Dou did it. At that time, there was a big cesspit in the west of Chang 'an, and the surrounding environment was bad. Shawn Dou bought this cesspit, but the cost of filling it was too high, so he asked someone to throw stones into it, and the person who threw the flagpole into the pit would get a free cake. You know, there was no entertainment in ancient times. The nature of this matter is equivalent to attracting customers in shopping malls now. The Shawn Dou incident not only filled the pit with entertainment, but also brought a lot of people to the surrounding businesses. After filling it, Dou Yi paved it and rented it to others to profit from it. Does this look like the prototype of real estate? These acts of building commercial streets have now taken shape in commercial real estate, and Shawn Dou has thus become the richest man in Chang 'an.
