Second floor.

The hall was filled with squires and wealthy people from all over the world.

Curtains were drawn in the cubicles on all sides, and insides were doctors and members of the ruling class.

People with real status don't sit with civilians.

Even if these civilians are unattainable rich in the eyes of ordinary people.

In addition, scholars and people of the ruling class would carry "bodyguards" with them, and for safety reasons, they would naturally be arranged in cubicles.

Wang Chen and Wang Yuncang were also arranged in the compartment.

However, they did not have bodyguards, and tea and snacks were still available.

The sales soon began.

Shopkeeper Yan personally presided over it, he stood at the table in front of him, and said a few nonsense words to everyone, and then entered the singing and selling link.

The first one to be sold was a maid who was raided.

It has to be mentioned here that the slavery system in the Song Dynasty almost perished, but in the early Northern Song Dynasty, slaves still existed.

There are generally two kinds of slaves and maids in large households, divided into lowly slaves and maids and hired slaves and maids, and the lowly slaves and maids are subordinate to the government or masters, and have no social status at all.

This maid is a cheap slave, and now she has been taken out by the government to sing and sell, not to mention that she looks very smart.

The shopkeeper Yan said loudly: "The cheap slave and maid Luzhu sang fifteen times." ”

Hearing in the compartment that the starting price of a woman with a posture of eight points was only fifteen, Wang Chen was speechless for a while, sure enough, there is no human rights in feudal society, and even people can auction it.

"Fifteen runs. ”

"Sixteen. ”

Bids come and go.

Unlike modern auction houses that bid with signs, the Northern Song Dynasty singing and selling prices are all verbal shouting, and the amount of money added each time is not fixed, and you can add a penny.

After about four or five rounds, the bidding came to twenty.

Suddenly, a short and fat squire stood up and arched his hand to everyone, "Everyone, after the old man is the old man, I hope to give me a scene, let me sell it back and repatriate my good name." ”

"After Master Li passed away, it is not good for me to take advantage of others. ”

"Okay, we don't bid. ”

"You can just increase the price. ”

Most of the squires and rich people seem to know each other, and they are quite face-saving.

In the end, Master Li bought the green bamboo at a price of twenty-two times.

It's just that Wang Chen, who was in the cubicle, looked a little confused.

Is there still this operation in the auction?

Using your status to keep others from bidding?

Wori, if you auction your buddy's things later, and a dignitary is like this, wouldn't you be auctioned at a good price?

He's counting on the auction to get a good price and buy the shop.

Just thinking about it, Wang Yuncang, who was sitting next to him, whispered: "Brother Chen, this Master Li is a famous squire in Tongzhou, and he once served as the chief of the county government, so everyone has to give some face." ”

Wang Chen took a sip of tea, "No wonder." ”

Several more items were then auctioned.

Population, land, real estate, etc., and even calligraphy and paintings of celebrities of the current era, you name it.

Two hours passed quickly.

In the middle, the shopkeeper Yan let everyone rest.

Wang Chen glanced at his mobile phone, and when it was almost eleven o'clock in the Northern Song Dynasty, he began to auction his things.

I saw that the shopkeeper Yan smiled and said: "The next few items to be sold are the treasures at the bottom of the box in this building, I don't know if you have enough money to prepare?"

Which of the following is not a rich man?

Hearing him say this, all the squires and rich men coaxed.

"No money, no money. ”

"Present the treasure to me, and I'll give it credit. ”

"Haha, Shopkeeper Yan is really good at laughing. ”

Shopkeeper Yan didn't waste any more time, lifted the wooden tray, lifted the red cloth on it, pinched the windproof lighter, and introduced: "This thing is a fire artifact, which is a bit similar to the fire fold, but the fire fold needs to be blown skillfully to rekindle, this thing doesn't need to be like this, just press it lightly, and the fire will come out." ”

As he spoke, he demonstrated it again.

With a click, flames burst out.

The people below were amazed.

"Magical. ”

"Can you still light a fire like that?"

"It's much more convenient than the fire fold, it's rare. ”

Several squires and rich men also exchanged ears, as if discussing lighters.

Finally, it's their turn to auction their goods.

Wang Chen stopped eating the pastry and pricked up his ears to concentrate, wanting to hear how much the lighter could be auctioned off.

Wang Yuncang was the same, constantly looking out.

The shopkeeper Yan said: "The starting price is twenty times." ”

Master Li was the first to increase the price, "Twenty-two runs." ”

Then a young man who was previously known as Young Master Qian followed: "Twenty-five runs." ”

"Twenty-seven runs. ”

"Twenty-eight runs. ”

The bidding was fierce, and Wang Chen's heart blossomed.

You hurry up and ask for more money, so that the buddies can make more money, it is best to bid for one or two hundred, then you will make a lot of money.

And he could see that the squires and rich people outside were very interested in lighters, and it was really possible to ask for a hundred yuan.

However, the unexpected happened!

A woman's voice suddenly came from the southeast compartment, "Thirty times." ”

The scene of fierce bidding came to an abrupt end.

The squires and rich men looked at each other and whispered.

"Is it the young lady of the Lin family?"

"The Lin family is a famous family in Tongzhou, so it's better for us to avoid its edge. ”

"Yes, you can't let the Lin family hold a grudge. ”

The squires and rich people don't raise their prices, even Master Li, who was the county government lord before, shut up.

Wang Chen was a little dumbfounded, what's the situation? Do you know that people have a lot of power and stop raising prices?

But the reality is that this is true.

Under the three songs of the shopkeeper Yan, no one bided, and the young grandmother of the Lin family naturally won the lighter at a price of thirty yuan.

Seeing this, Wang Chen was anxious.

could have been auctioned for a higher price, but it was mixed by the young lady of the Lin family, how much profit was lost?

After the lighter was sold.

Shopkeeper Yan asked mysteriously: "You have female dependents in your family, and you will smear rouge gouache on the bronze mirror every day, right?"

Master Li smiled and said, "Don't say that the female dependents, don't we take care of our posture when we get up every day?"

Another rich man said: "Yes, you can't get out if you don't take care of it." ”

"Shopkeeper Yan, why are you asking this?"

"Could it be that the next auction is the precious bronze mirror of the previous dynasty?"

"Hehe, Yang Guifei has used countless bronze mirrors, nothing too unusual. ”

Shopkeeper Yan didn't speak, but beckoned to the servant and asked him to show the glass mirrors to the rich squires and the dignitaries in the compartment one by one.

Wang Chen observed everyone's reactions.

The rich squires reacted enthusiastically and there was a lot of discussion.

"Such a clear glass mirror, if I buy it back, my wife will be happy. ”

"You are determined to get the same, who doesn't have a wife? My pearl is about to come out of the cabinet, I will definitely buy it and give it to her as a dowry!"

"Let's win by strength!"

There was also a smack from time to time in the cell, but it was not very audible.

But in any case, Wang Chen knew that this meant that the glass mirror was very interesting to everyone, and it might be auctioned for a high price!

Ten minutes later, the glass mirror was taken back into the hands of the shopkeeper Yan, and he announced: "The starting price is 500 yuan." ”

Many people are eager to try and prepare to ask for the price, and the accident is full of surprises again!

A pleasant woman's voice came from the cubicle of the young lady of the Lin family, "The concubine is really happy with this glass mirror, and I hope that all the lords and nobles will sell the concubine and the woman to save face, let me buy it, okay?"

I'm special!

It's you again!

Wang Chen was so angry that his teeth itched, your sister, the lighter was sold for a lot of money under your influence, and now you are using your family background to make others not bid for glass mirrors, I have a grudge against you?

In fact, he knew in his heart that Mrs. Lin probably really liked these two things, and she didn't mean to do so, otherwise she wouldn't let everyone lose face.

But Wang Chen wants to rely on these three things to sell at a high price to buy the shop, tomorrow he will give Zhang Ji Yazhuang the remaining 2,500 yuan, and 300 yuan commission, he needs a total of 2,800 yuan to buy the shop logically, this Mrs. Lin has been doing this, how can his goods be sold at a high price?

If you can't sell it at a high price, what can you buy a shop with?

The deposit has been paid for 500 yuan, you are paralyzed!

Wang Chen wanted to scold.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lin Shao finally photographed the glass mirror at a price of 700 yuan, and she also gave the government face and added 200 yuan.

Even so, Wang Chen still lacked more than 2,000 yuan to buy a shop.

"This Young Lady Lin is a bit excessive. Wang Yuncang was a little indignant, and then said dejectedly: "Alas, there is no way, who made the family the top wealthy family in Tongzhou City." ”

Wang Chen's heart was on fire.

What should I do if I can't get the money together?

Do you want to go back to the modern era and buy some silver?

In modern society, a gram of silver is about three yuan and five to four yuan, and two thousand copper coins are two thousand taels of silver.

One thousand taels of silver in the Song Dynasty was equivalent to more than 37,000 grams of silver.

Assuming that the price of silver is four yuan a gram, Wang Chen will have to pay nearly 150,000 RMB to buy it all when he returns to modern society!

This is one of the reasons why he did not choose to exchange silver for use in the Song Dynasty in modern society.

To put it mildly, Wang Chen prepares a set of toothpaste and toothbrushes to sell for one or two silver, how much does a set of toothpaste and toothbrushes cost?

Fifteen RMB!

How much does it cost to exchange a tael of silver in the Song system in modern times?

It costs almost one hundred and fifty dollars, which is ten times more expensive!

How to choose at a glance, right?

Wang Chen thought quickly in his mind, no, he couldn't let these dignitaries use their power to prevent their goods from being auctioned at high prices.

But how?

By the way, isn't there a lot of news about auction houses asking for bids?

I can do the same!

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the auction industry was very imperfect, and it was almost rare, but Wang Chen felt that it was feasible.

Moreover, the official singing and selling is generally the assets of the family, and there are very few folk treasures, and normal people want to exchange things for money to go to the pawn shop, and only the extremely precious ones will be sold.

So almost everyone present didn't expect that there was a seller mixed in.

Wang Chen has already thought about raising the price of solar flashlights.

Those squires and rich people are afraid of the Lin family, afraid of high-ranking officials and nobles, buddies from modern society, afraid of wool, fight with you!

Wang Chen decided, if anyone wants to use his family background to hinder the high price of solar flashlights from selling at a high price, he will be his own trust, and he must raise the price, I still don't believe that I can't play with you group of ancient people!
