I can bless thousands of magical powers.

"Two hundred and seventy-six pieces of Sichuan brocade, starting price is three thousand taels!"

On the high auction platform, a middle-aged man in a green robe held a gavel, staring at the merchants below with his piercing eyes, and asked loudly: "Increase the price by 100 taels each time, does anyone want it?"

His voice was a little hoarse, but the excitement in his words increased.

Although it was the first time for this middle-aged man to serve as an auctioneer and host this large-scale auction, after experiencing some initial awkwardness, he quickly mastered the relevant skills.

And every transaction would make him excited and more motivated.

Even the words are more stimulating!
"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

A pot-bellied man in brocade clothes in the audience raised the number plate in his hand and looked around, as if he wanted to see if anyone dared to bid with him.

However, few of the bidders present were afraid, and someone immediately raised his hand: "Three thousand eight hundred taels!"

"Four thousand taels!"

"Four thousand five hundred taels!"

In just a short moment, the competition reached a fever pitch.

Being in the middle of it, even a wealthy businessman with great cunning could not avoid being affected by the atmosphere on the scene.

I couldn't help but raise my sign to join the competition.

In fact, the starting prices of these items are very low.

For example, the Sichuan brocade piled on the auction table has a market price of at least one hundred taels of silver per piece. If it is transported to the Western Regions, its value can at least increase four or five times or even higher.

The starting price is only ten or so taels per horse now, who can remain indifferent?

"Ten thousand taels!"

After several rounds of fighting, a tall and strong wealthy businessman became so emotional that he stood up suddenly and held up the number plate high, his round face flushed red.

He suddenly raised the price to ten thousand taels, shocking many competitors.

The audience was silent.

The auctioneer on the stage took this opportunity to shout, "Ten thousand taels for the first time, ten thousand taels for the second time, ten thousand taels for the third time, deal!"

Snapped!
The loud and clear sound of the hammer suddenly woke the bidders present.

The wealthy merchant who successfully won the auction item laughed loudly, cupped his hands and said with satisfaction: "I admit it, thank you for letting me win!"

He was proud, while many other bidders regretted it so much that they slapped their thighs and even felt a little resentful.

Because the auctioneer shouted so quickly, the hammer fell before anyone could react.

This guy got a great bargain for nothing.

At this moment, Mo Yanchang, who was sitting in the backstage, asked thoughtfully: "Sir, why is this?"

The auctioneer did not have any shady dealings with the wealthy merchant who won the Yunjin, and he was deliberately giving the latter a lower price.

This was something Zhang Yuan had specifically instructed before.

Mo Yanchang knew the inside story, but he didn't understand the intention - isn't the purpose of an auction to raise the price as high as possible?
"We're auctioning stolen goods."

Zhang Yuan, who was sitting on a tiger-skin chair, replied calmly, "When selling stolen goods, we have to give a big discount. Although we are auctioning it publicly, we can't exceed 80% of the normal price."

"We have to let these merchants get a good deal, so that auctions like this can continue to be held in the future."

It's easy to get excited at a live auction, especially when the competition is fierce; it's not surprising to see extremely high prices.

If one is a greedy person, he would hope that the bidders would fight on the spot.

However, Zhang Yuanzhi is not here, nor will he underestimate the IQ and EQ of these wealthy businessmen.

Otherwise, even if you gain temporary advantage, how can you make up for future losses?

Steady and steady wins the race!

You have to know that Zhang Yuan spent a lot of effort on this auction. First, he promoted it, then set up a venue in Daoying, and sent invitations to the posthouse chamber of commerce in the city.

It took a lot of effort to gather dozens of bidders.

The current scene has been created.

Zhang Yuan doesn't intend to do this as a one-time deal!
Mo Yanchang is good at calculating, but he is not familiar with the ways of doing business.

But Zhang Yuan pointed out the key point, and he immediately understood it.

I can't help but admire it!

The auction in the auction house is still going on.

As batch after batch of goods were sold, the bidders present gradually figured out the situation.

We have discovered that the highest auction price is usually 70% to 80% of the normal market price, or even around 40% to 50%.

This means that as long as you take the photo, you will not lose money, it is just a matter of how much profit you make.

As a result, the bids from the wealthy merchants were no longer as fierce and impulsive as before, and became more rational.

There are more calculations and trade-offs.

And this is exactly what Zhang Yuan wants to achieve.

While the atmosphere in the auction hall cooled down, the excitement outside continued unabated.

Originally, the martial arts arena of the Taoist camp was strictly forbidden to outsiders. Anyone who broke in, whether intentionally or unintentionally, would be killed without mercy, without the slightest mercy.

But now the martial arts arena is completely open to the public, and ordinary people can come in for a visit.

Not only that, there were also many stalls set up in the martial arts arena, and the guys from the Tuda Chamber of Commerce were shouting their wares.

Selling all kinds of goods.

The goods on these stalls were also seized from bandit suppression, but their quality and value were relatively low, and they were then sold off by setting up stalls.

Many things are only one-third of the market price or even lower, and the prices are clearly marked and fair to everyone.

Even a woman who likes to haggle can't help but take out her wallet when she sees it.

For a moment, the area inside and outside the Taoist camp became an open-air market. The noise and bustle even spread to the Taoist yamen on the other side, attracting the attention of many yamen runners.

The deserted and almost deserted Daoyamen was in stark contrast to the bustling Daoying!
The bustle in the Taoist camp lasted until nightfall.

"grown ups."

The lights in the White Tiger Hall were bright. Mo Yanchang, who had just finished counting the accounts, put down his brush and said to Zhang Yuan happily, "Today's auction plus the stall sales, we have a total of 1,167,953 taels and 6 cents of silver."

"Currently, about 90% of the inventory in the warehouse has been sold. The remaining..."

"The rest will be handed over to the Tuda Chamber of Commerce."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and interrupted Mo Yanchang directly: "It's considered as a reward for their hard work."

Mo Yanchang was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and replied, "I understand."

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan nodded and sighed, "This Xiyuan Dao City is really rich. More than one million taels were sold in one day."

Although this is the result produced under specific conditions, it is impossible to replicate it every day.

But the wealth of Xiyuan is evident.

At the same time, it also showed the narrow-mindedness of the Dao Yamen.

Thinking of Fei Hongming who was in charge of the Dao Yamen, Zhang Yuan smiled coldly and ordered: "Captain Mo, please count out the one million taels of silver first, and then ask Deputy General Mo Wei to come over."

"I have something important for him to do!" (End of this chapter)
