Chapter 119: Crazy with Depression
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction at my house, and once again my family and I would like to express our deep gratitude to you for coming. Hu Mingchen walked behind the small black table at the gate, propped up the table with both hands and said, and bowed to the bosses opposite him after speaking.
Originally, a large table was prepared in advance, but Hu Mingchen was young and not tall enough, and the big table could cover most of his people, so he had to borrow this small coffee table from Hu Mingyi's house so that Hu Mingchen could swing it.
If Hu Mingchen bends down on a formal occasion, he will definitely win some applause, whether the applause is just out of etiquette or sincerity.
However, when Hu Mingchen straightened up, those merchants did not have any faults, and there were still people who were watching the lively villagers around and laughing.
"Don't laugh, don't laugh, hehe, if you disturb him like this, it's not good for him to go on. Jiang Yucai smiled and waved his hand at everyone and said.
Hu Mingchen's sweat is beyond measure. Let them maintain order, and my mother laughed along with her, and she was embarrassed to let others not laugh. Is she trying to make others stop laughing, or is she encouraging everyone to laugh with practical actions?
Jiang Yucai said this, not only was the scene not maintained, but even Xu Ming and the others laughed.
Hu Mingchen, who was an auctioneer for the first time, stood there, embarrassed and laughing, and neither did he continue.
Hu Jianjun still couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and pulled Jiang Yucai back, and pressed everyone down, which calmed down the scene.
"Hehe, it's the first time to do such an activity, we have no experience, and it's normal to laugh, anyway. Everyone stopped laughing, Hu Mingchen smiled and said, he was using a smile to cover his embarrassment.
No one laughed out loud this time, this is a serious matter, and it has entered the substantive stage, even if he can't help but look at Hu Mingchen's small appearance, he just purses his lips and snickers.
"The purpose of this auction in my family, I think everyone knows it, is to find a good buyer for my dried ginger...... All the bosses who sat down again have come to my house and have intentions for my dried ginger. To be honest, my family is doing ginger business for the first time, and I don't have much experience, so you can say that you are all seniors, and no one in my family is easy to offend. In order not to have the kind of situation of offending this family by selling to that family, the only way to do this is to take this method and let everyone talk face to face, this principle is the same as all businesses, whoever pays the highest price, my family will sell him all 4,470 catties of dried ginger......" Hu Mingchen paused and continued.
"Young man, wait a minute, I will ask you something first, if you decide to buy it, will you have to pay the payment in one lump sum today?" Boss Liu interrupted Hu Mingchen and asked.
"The general rule of doing business is, of course, to pay for the goods in two ways, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. Hu Mingchen replied.
"But what if a few high-level ones can't come up with that much money at once?" Boss Liu continued to ask.
"If it were someone else, that might have happened, but ...... You're all big bosses, and it's impossible to live without this payment, so I don't think it exists. Hu Mingchen didn't say anything blunt, but he took out his sycophant hat, and its meaning was naturally self-evident.
Hu Mingchen doesn't do that kind of thing on credit, calculates a few slightly lower, and can't owe money.
There is a way that it is easy to be in debt and difficult to ask for money. If credit is allowed, it will lead to a series of troublesome disputes in the future, which is a good thing to cooperate to make money, but if it is ugly because of debt disputes, it will not be good.
Seeing that Boss Liu didn't ask anymore, Hu Mingchen continued to say: "My ginger, all the bosses and folks here are clear, it is the best ginger after careful selection, for this reason, my ginger is more expensive than everyone's price, this point, there must be nothing to doubt." In addition, my family's dried ginger has to be washed three times, which is absolutely clean, and I do my best to bake it to ensure that every piece of dried ginger is refreshing and refreshing...... "Selling things, Hu Mingchen naturally has to tout his own dried ginger."
No one thinks that Hu Mingchen's praise is exaggerated, those goods, these bosses have seen them, some of the villagers around them also help wash the ginger, and some people's ginger is sold to his family, so he naturally knows it.
"In order to ensure that the goods are aligned, you can also check the goods in advance. Speaking of this, Hu Mingchen beckoned behind him.
Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao each came out with a small dustpan, and each dustpan contained seven or eight catties of dried ginger in good condition. The two timidly walked up to Wang Chengwu and stopped in front of them with those dried gingers, so that they could taste them up close.
"The ginger piled up in the room is no different from the two dustpans, and you can rest assured that this is no different from what you have seen before. Do you have any objection to this, if so, my family can bring out all those dried gingers for you to open for inspection. When they saw it almost, Hu Mingchen continued.
Those people inspect the goods, not only with their eyes, but also take some into their hands and pinch them, and some people will even try it with their mouths. After all, tens of thousands of dollars of goods must not be sloppy.
"No need, as long as these goods are not specially selected, I have seen your goods, and they are similar to these. Boss Chen said.
Some people have a tone to say, and others are not good at saying something. What's more, Hu Mingchen's dried ginger, theirs has indeed been inspected in advance, and it is indeed a good top grade, anyway, it is a grade better than the ones they received before.
"In that case, let's stop talking nonsense and start the substantive topic, I'll talk about the rules of the auction first, so as not to be untargeted for a while. The reserve price of my family's dried ginger auction is two yuan, and each price increase is at least one dime, as long as someone quotes and reminds others to have no objection after three times, then the deal, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand, in order to facilitate the bosses, my family can promise to send these dried ginger to the street or the side of the highway for delivery...... "Hu Mingchen's so-called rules are all learned from TV, simple, but the meaning is also clear and clear.
"Why are there only two pieces?"
"It seems that someone else paid five yuan last time, why did the price go down?"
"I guess it's not going to sell, so it's just like this. ”
"This price is also very cheap, I knew that this was the case, and I also borrowed some money to participate. ”
......
I heard that Hu Mingchen set the starting price at two yuan, but the bosses didn't say anything, and the surrounding spectators started to talk about it.
Regarding those discussions, Hu Mingchen filtered them as if he hadn't heard them.
Many of them don't know what an auction is, and the high and low floor price of the auction doesn't make much sense at all, the key is to see the seller's acceptance, if it is lower than their acceptance, as long as there is competition, the price will naturally go up. If it is higher than their acceptance, it will only be a failed auction.
If Hu Mingchen said that the reserve price was ten yuan, those people might not even think about it, get up and leave.
"Okay, everything that should be said has been said, if there is no doubt, let's start, the best quality 4,470 catties of dried ginger, the reserve price is two yuan, if anyone wants to have it, if there is, say it publicly. Hu Mingchen smiled and glanced around, then looked at the bosses and said.
"I want, I'm willing to buy it for two dollars. As soon as Hu Mingchen finished speaking, the chubby Boss Liu said loudly.
"I want it too, and I'm willing to have two pieces. Wang Chengwu followed.
"If you don't want two pieces, I'll give you two too. Xu Ming echoed.
Hu Mingchen almost wanted to hit the wall with his head, what do you all mean, two yuan per person, what kind of auction is Lao Tzu doing, it is better to sell it before. Two yuan, I might as well sell it to myself, you have to increase the price, don't you understand that the auction is going to increase the price?
Fortunately, there are non-earth, otherwise Hu Mingchen can only pause and explain the rules.
"I'll make two pieces of two. Boss Zhang raised his hand and said.
"Then I'll give two pieces of two, I want it. Boss Liu glanced at Boss Zhang and said loudly to Hu Mingchen.
"Boss Liu, people said two yuan two, you can't say this price anymore, if you want to, you have to add money on the basis of Boss Zhang, such as two pieces of three, such as two pieces of four, otherwise, you two pieces of two, who will sell it to? Hu Mingchen was so sweaty that he wanted to pinch someone's neck, but unfortunately he couldn't do that, so he had to quickly explain it to the supplement, so as not to follow up with the people behind him, which would be really crazy.
"Oh, that's what it means, then I'll give two pieces of three, two pieces of three. Boss Liu smiled reservedly, waved his hand and called heroically.
"Lao Liu, if you give two pieces of three, then I will ...... Then I'll give two pieces and three cents and one. Wang Chengwu looked at Boss Liu and said.
God, you give me a bolt of lightning and split me, what is this all called, why did you still make a three-cent-one?
If I add it like this, when I reach my ideal price, I won't get the Year of the Monkey.
Are you really stupid or fake stupid, didn't we explain it in advance, the last price increase is at least one dime, when you are studying, do you have mosquitoes in your ears? This comprehension ability, the teacher is now hearing that he can't buy a piece of tofu and hit him.
Hu Mingchen was depressed to death, but he didn't completely blame Boss Liu and Wang Chengwu. First of all, they don't look at the business for many years, but how about the cultural level, these buyers, except for the boss Zhang, the other people's questions stay at the elementary school stage.
In addition, the so-called auction has not participated in and seen, so it is natural to think that it is similar to bargaining on the street.
