Chapter 249 The Auction Begins

The Sun Mansion was destined to not be peaceful for the past two days. He tried to persuade Wei Zheng to stay at the inn, but Wei Shuxie came to him again. He didn't have the integrity of Wei Zheng, and he just talked about benefits.

"Zhengming must have land that is not included in the auction! I, Guanzhong Wei, are not weak. Just tell me how much manpower and material resources you need."

Obviously asking for a place, Wei Shuxie said it, but it seemed to be doing Sun Xiangfu a big favor, making Sun Xiangfu dumbfounded.

"Well, it's not that I don't want to accept the help of the Wei family. It's just that there is really no such kind of land at present. If we forcefully move to a farther place, we can indeed get some fields, but the follow-up infrastructure construction can't keep up. Those fields probably won’t be worth the loss. Besides, I don’t mind if you, like them, go outside the pass to grab fields, we obviously have more lucrative business, so why do we have to farm.”

Hearing this, Wei Shuxie was overjoyed, and hurriedly answered, "Oh, what business does Zhengming have to do?"

"Of course it's our old business, coal, you don't know, there is an area less than three hundred miles west of Shanyang, and there is so much coal..."

"You have already said that this coal is our old business in Guanzhong. This business must be in cooperation with my Wei family! How many people are needed and how large is the scale? Tell me, I will do it according to your requirements. .”

When Wei Shuxie heard Sun Xiangfu talk about coal, he immediately became impatient. This thing helped his Wei family make a lot of money last winter. Now most families in Chang'an City are used to using briquettes, and his Wei family's financial resources have long been stable. Come down, this place outside the pass is colder than the center of the pass, and the demand for coal must be greater, but it is a money-making business.

"At least 5000 people, and you and I will get [-]% of the profit. In addition, I need you to unite with some small and medium-sized families in Guanzhong and do me a favor at the auction..."

Sun Xiangfu whispered in Wei Shuxie's ear for a while, and Wei Shuxie nodded with a smile and left. His visit to the Sun's residence was not in vain, and he opened up another source of income for the Wei family.

Sun Xiangfu, on the other hand, used one thing he was going to do to help him arrange another thing. In fact, even if Wei Shuxie didn't come to him, he would go to Wei Shuxie, because there is a need to use it outside the customs. The number of people who use coal may reach hundreds of thousands next year. He simply does not have the manpower to complete such a large amount of coal development. It is inevitable to introduce powerful partners. The foundation of cooperation is naturally his first choice.

In this kind of busy communication, the ninth day of September and the Double Ninth Day finally arrived. In the venue of the drama theater that had been arranged early in the morning, a huge map was hung up. Shi's team came to the backstage, because there were other arrangements, Wei Shuxie was not among them.

While waiting for the bidders from all parties to enter the arena, they also reached a consensus on the rules of the auction, which are basically the same as the bidding and transaction rules of later generations. All trading rules are printed in promises and distributed in each auction At the beginning of the auction, Wei Zheng, on behalf of the court, read out the rules.

All kinds of luxurious carriages came from inns or private mansions in the city to the venue of the drama theater. Their expressions were different, as domineering as Wang Rui and his son, who else would I.

Just like Cui Hong, Lu Heng and others, their faces are as sinking as water.

There are also people like Wei Shuxie who are so proud of their spring breeze. After the business negotiation with Sun Xiangfu was concluded yesterday, he went to the flower building beside the Sanggan River in the city to invite the heads of the major families in Guanzhong to have a good time.

Not long after, people who had obtained the qualifications for the auction entered the venue one after another. At this time, the steward in charge of the cabinet workshop of Shanyang came to whisper to Sun Xiangfu for a while, and saw a smile on the corner of Sun Xiangfu's mouth.

As of today, the total amount of savings in the cabinets of the major families has reached more than 2000 million, and this is all cash!These hundred-year-old families, thousand-year-old families, after generations of savings, the family's money is indeed sufficient, and Sun Xiangfu doesn't want them to take this money back.

"Master Wei, it's almost time, let's go out!"

As representatives of the government, Sun Xiangfu and these supervisory censors naturally have the rostrum to sit on the stage, but for the first time on the stage, Wei Zheng is still a little uncomfortable with the scene of thousands of people. The rules ended after he read them aloud, and I don't know if the people below understood them, but the aristocrats who have read the book can read the book on the seat to know the rules, and for the barbarians, Sun Xiangfu deliberately arranged people to help them understand the rules. They explain.

After Wei Zheng left the stage, it was of course Sun Xiangfu's turn to take the stage. At this time, a glass mirror covered by a red cloth was moved to a counter in the center of the stage by two maids.

"Everyone may not fully understand the rules announced by Mr. Wei just now. Then, before the land auction, let's conduct a trial auction of the product, so that everyone can understand the rules of the auction through the specific auction process. Of course, this product It will also be obtained by the person with the highest bid, then, next, I will show you this treasure."

As he said that, Sun Xiangfu stretched out his hand, and the two maids followed his gesture and pulled the silk covering the mirror away. Immediately, a shiny mirror surface appeared in front of everyone.

"This thing is a mirror that can reflect people or things in every detail. Its raw material is natural pure and transparent crystal. It has been carved and polished through extremely difficult craftsmanship, and it is equipped with a secret recipe. It took more than a year to make it. Cheng, the first made side is now in the palace, it is the vanity mirror used by the empress, everyone knows that pure and transparent crystals are hard to find, and they are a bit more expensive than the best jade, let alone such a large transparent crystal Ore, so, don't look at it as a test shot, it is very valuable, as far as it is concerned, there are few such valuable things in the whole world."

Then, Sun Xiangfu didn't mention the price of the auction, but just gave the two maids carrying the mirror a look. They walked gracefully, lifting the round mirror, which was about half a square meter, and walked towards the auction booth. go.

And as they walked, the entire auction field suddenly heard bursts of exclamations.

Many nobles from aristocratic families have known about the mirror that appeared more than a year ago. After all, this thing has a side in the palace. There are naturally some rumors in the circle of dignitaries, and more people are a few days ago. Sun Xiangfu put the mirror in Wangjiang They had seen it in Wangjiang Tower after the branch store in Wangjiang Building. However, in the era of closed information transmission in ancient times, there were more people who didn't know about this thing. After all, Sun Xiangfu did not promote this thing in newspapers. Therefore, many foreign After the people who came here saw the mirror for the first time, they wanted it very much.

"This mirror is really miraculous. Even if my Zhang family's Qizhen Pavilion has been operating for hundreds of years, I have never received such a large crystal mine. It is really rare in the world..."

"Yes! Yes! Not only that, I'm afraid it is very rare to be able to turn the transparent crystal into this mirror. Otherwise, the emperor would definitely make a few more pieces and distribute them to the concubines, but he didn't want Sun Zhengming to take This item is put up for auction, if my Ma family gets this treasure, no matter how high the price is offered by others, I will not sell it..."

"It's him. I won't be able to get an acre of land after eating this time. My Xie family will also get this mirror. With it, my Xie family will definitely be able to operate a high-ranking official..."

When some old aristocratic patriarchs saw the mirror, although they were amazed, they could still remain calm, but those younger aristocratic family members couldn't resist the temptation of this treasure. According to the rules, once the auction starts, they all have a chance to bid and buy this mirror.

After the show was over, the mirror returned to the stage. At this time, Sun Xiangfu spoke again, "Everyone has seen the mirror. It is so miraculous. It is so miraculous that everyone wants to own it, but treasures are scarce, so, Only the highest bidder wins. Now, I announce that the starting price of this mirror is [-] guan. Every time the placard is raised, the default is an increase of [-] guan. Everyone starts bidding."

"Clatter..."

At the scene, nearly a thousand bidding cards were held up by everyone. No family that can have ideas about the land outside the customs is worth tens of thousands of guan. Even Dongzhu, who came to Shanyang with no money at all, , and also raised her own signboard. Although she has used this mirror many times in the Sun Mansion, it was borrowed from Yu Xiuer. , she had to raise her placard more than ten times. In this way, Sun Xiangfu agreed that Yu Xiu'er would teach her to sing.

"One thousand one hundred."

"One thousand two hundred."

"Thirteen hundred guan..."

"Eleven thousand and two hundred..."

When the price reached [-] guan, many weak people began to withdraw their bids. However, there were still hundreds of brands holding high.

"Twenty-three thousand guan."

"Twenty-eight thousand guan."

"Thirty thousand."

Now Sun Xiangfu regretted that he had set the starting price, and when it was [-] times the starting price, there were still dozens of auctions held up.If things go on like this, today's auction won't be over for a while.

"Fifty thousand."

"Sixty-eight thousand guan."

"Seventy-five thousand guan."

"Eighty thousand guan."

When this number was called, the censors on the censor seat, including Wei Zheng, all twitched their mouths. These aristocratic families are really rich, [-] guan, which is basically all the property of a small third-rate family. , At this level, there are still so many people raising placards.

Of course, they were not the only ones who were surprised. The patriarchs of the aristocratic families like Cui Hong and Lu Heng have now understood the power of this auction. A low starting price does not mean that the final transaction price is also low. Just like this mirror, due to the large number of people raising placards, Sun Xiangfu can keep shouting up to it. Who knows to what extent it will eventually go?
They now regret that they have made the relationship so stiff with the other families in the past few days. If these families fight with all their strength, they may end up spending a lot of money.

Several old foxes gestured to each other with their eyes, and then exchanged seats with their nephews and gathered together. Sun Xiangfu, who was on the stage, had seen this scene early on. The close relationship between them suddenly collapsed, but even if they discuss it temporarily, it is useless. The auction of this thing can actually be used to deceive people. Moreover, Sun Xiangfu's trustee has both identity and financial resources.
