Chapter 188: The Drama - The Panicked Man
After a while, Lu Zongbao instructed the young man: "Go to the tooth shop opposite and let the shopkeeper stop bidding, and our land will be sold directly at a price! Sell it at twice the purchase price first! If it doesn't work, then the price will be lowered, no matter how much it is reduced, just make a quotation!"
"Yes, Childe. The young man received the order and turned to leave.
Afterwards, Lu Zongbao said to Yang Fan again: "Brother Yang, I bother you to go to Cui Mansion again, this time we will directly choose the construction site of the city's ship." ”
"Where is it built?" Yang Fan asked.
"Yanshoufang Anping Street!" Lu Zongbao said lightly.
Yang Fan lowered his head and recalled for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Yanshoufang?
Lu Zongbao smiled and nodded: "Exactly!"
"Why did you choose here?" Yang Fan asked with a hint of doubt.
"If we want to bring down the current land price, it is not enough to rely on us and the strength of the secret hand, the amount of land in our hands is too small and too little! If we want to shake the current land price, we must pull the local families and maritime merchants into the water together, and only through the large amount of land in the hands of these people can it be possible to bring down the land price. Lu Zongbao explained.
"Then why don't you choose the Qian family?" Yang Fan muttered when he heard this, but he suddenly woke up after a while, stared at Lu Zongbao and said, "You want to separate them?"
Yang Zongbao smiled reservedly.
"Haha, big brother, I understand! I'll go to Cui's Mansion!" Yang Fan laughed heartily, stood up, and walked downstairs quickly.
And the young man who had just been ordered came to Yaxing at this moment, and after finding the shopkeeper's whisper a few words, he urged the shopkeeper in a daze to change the price as much as possible.
A moment later, the people in the dental shop were shocked again.
"What? No bidding?"
"Why is that? And the price is so low!"
"What the hell is going on?"
……
In addition to the shock, some of the people present reacted quickly and began to think about the reason behind this abnormal situation.
"Could it be that the location of the Yamen of the City Ship Division has already been chosen?" muttered one of them.
"No, even if the Yamen of the City Ship Division has chosen a location, then what's going on with these people?" said the other person, pointing to Xie An and the others who were busy.
"Yes, why are these two groups of people selling land at low prices in a row?"
"Could it be...... Is the price of land going down?" exclaimed.
This exclamation was like a spring thunder exploding in the tooth shop, and everyone present immediately recovered from the excitement just now.
The vast majority of people who come here to buy land are successful people in business, and the experience of fighting in the business sea for many years has already given them a keen sense of observation, at first just because of excitement and did not think much about it, but when there were people who sold land at a low price again, the people who reacted quickly had already noticed the abnormality, and when this sentence came, this kind of doubt and speculation became clearer, although they did not necessarily believe it immediately, but they were shocked together, and the fanatical feelings dissipated completely, and before the situation became clear, these shrewd businessmen would naturally not blindly shoot。
And after Xie An saw the young man coming to whisper to the shopkeeper and immediately began to reduce the price, his heart was already full of admiration for the owner.
"The owner is really a god!"
"No, we have to quickly confirm the suspects of these people!" Xie An immediately saw the puzzled eyes of everyone present, and said in his heart.
"Shopkeeper, okay, hurry up and start selling the land! I'm still in a hurry to go back!" Xie An immediately shouted.
Then he said to everyone present with a smile on his face: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, why don't we start now?"
"Come on, come on! Just bid directly! The most prosperous area in Yangzhou City is only 10,000 yuan per acre!" Xie An grabbed the title deed in his hand and took a few steps forward to sell to everyone.
It's just that Xie An's enthusiastic expression made everyone present hesitate even more.
"This ......" A merchant was a little moved, but after looking around suspiciously, he stopped in his tracks.
"This brother, come on! I'll sell you! Come, pay the money with one hand and hand over the land deed with the other!" Xie An saw that everyone was indifferent, and hurriedly stepped forward again, grabbed the hand of the person who was a little excited just now, and said enthusiastically.
"Come on!" Xie An saw that the other party still didn't move, and his voice raised a lot.
"You should come and buy it! Eight thousand! Only eight thousand per acre!" Xie An grabbed the man's hand and directly stuffed the land deed in his hand to the other party.
But in this way, the man was even more reluctant to buy it, and he struggled to get out of Xie An's hands.
"Five thousand! Five thousand, one acre, is there anyone else who wants it?" Xie An's voice was already full of tears.
"This ...... This is?"
At this moment, even the most unresponsive person noticed the abnormality.
In the end, a voice completely confirmed everyone's speculation.
"Three thousand! I only need three thousand guan and one acre here!" the young man from the Lu family shouted loudly, waving the title deed in his hand.
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other with wide eyes, how could this land that cost 30,000 yuan just now only sell for 3,000 in a blink of an eye!
"Two thousand! Two thousand acres of land! The best and cheapest land in Yangzhou!" Xie An seized the opportunity and hurriedly followed.
"One thousand and five!" the young man was not to be outdone.
"One thousand!" Xie An also answered.
"Five hundred!"
……
Seeing the crazy bidding of the two, everyone present was in a trance, isn't this just like they just now?
Then, a chill welled up in the hearts of those who wanted to understand!
"It's over! the price of the land is dropping!" said a frightened voice.
"Three hundred!"
"Two hundred and fifty times!"
The two who were bidding for the sale of land once again made a perfect footnote to everyone's speculation with their high-pitched voices.
"Really!
"Shopkeeper, I want to sell land!"
Finally, one of the people in the panicked crowd who reacted the fastest immediately rushed over and grabbed the hand of the shopkeeper of the tooth shop, and said in a trembling voice.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is land for sale! Cheap land for sale!" Xie An was not enough, and once again added a fire to everyone's panic.
"Shopkeeper, I also want to sell land!"
"And me!"
……
More and more people are reacting, and of course, there are still people who are still lingering.
"Alas, why did these people react so quickly! No, I have to go to another tooth shop and sell the land!" Xie An said in a low voice, but this voice still happened to be heard by the people nearby.
Immediately, Xie An shouted at the shopkeeper of the tooth shop: "Shopkeeper, don't be busy! I'll go to another tooth shop to sell!"
This sound overwhelmed the noisy crowd and made everyone present hear.
Then Xie An packed up the land deeds all over the ground, separated the people, and led a group of people out of the tooth shop, urging the people around him from time to time as he walked: "Hurry up for me! I must sell the land before the news spreads!"
Everyone on the Yaxing side watched Xie An and his party flee as if they were leaving, and after a while, a frightened cry completely shattered everyone's remaining confidence: "It's over!
"Hurry, hurry up and sell the land in another tooth shop!"
Fear spread, and one individual scrambled out of the tooth shop, using his hands and feet to run to the rest of the city's tooth shop. Even those who doubt it in their hearts will inevitably be shaken at this moment.
Soon, the Tooth Shop was empty, and the gang was rushing to the city as fast as they could, spreading fear like a plague.
With the footsteps of this group of people, there was also a small shock in the tooth shops in various parts of the city, at the beginning of one or two people, naturally they did not believe it, but as the number of people increased, more people began to doubt, and they no longer went crazy to buy land, and the land bidding war that lasted for several days was contained in an instant.
Two hours later, the officials who guarded the yamen again sent a message to the whole city.
"The location of the Yamen of the City Bo Division has been selected, in Anping Street, Yanshoufang. ”
As a result, more and more people choose to believe.
"Land prices are really going down!"
Then people began to run frantically towards the tooth shop.
At the same time, those who reacted first began to rejoice leisurely.
"Haha! Fortunately, Lao Tzu reacted in time and ran fast enough! Not only did he not lose money, but he also made a small profit!"
"Alas, yes, if I run slowly, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get my money back!"
"It's okay, it's okay! It's not a lot of losses, it's just a few thousand! It's right to go around the Qinglou a few times!"
……
Once these people are out of danger, they begin to wander and look at those who are still struggling in the sea of suffering.
And when the news spread, the major forces in Yangzhou City at the moment reacted differently.
Yanshoufang, the compound of the Xie family.
Although it is not as good as the Qian family's house, it generally accounts for most of the southeast of Yangzhou City, but it also accounts for three-quarters of this Yanshoufang.
At this moment, in Xie Dongmin's study, a young man dressed as a subordinate was respectfully reporting the news from outside to the master, with a calm expression and a steady tone, both humble but calm, showing a good upbringing, worthy of the Central Plains clan back then.
After the young man finished his report, he saw Xie Dongmin waving his hand, and then retreated respectfully.
"Okay, good, good plan!" Xie Dongmin shook his head and said in a cold tone.
"Master, what is this?" an old man standing beside Xie Dongmin heard the sound of his master gritting his teeth, and hurriedly asked.
"Hmph! These guys don't think they make enough money, so they want to bring down the land price first, and then snap up the land price, and then speculate the land price, buy low and sell high!" Xie Dongmin said angrily.
"Then why did they put the city boss in Yanshoufang?" the old butler then asked.
Xie Dongmin said indignantly again: "This is the ruthlessness of these people!"
"There are only seven clans and five surnames who can influence the location of the city's ship, and they are doing this just to drive a wedge between my Xie family and other local families. Put the city company in Yanshoufang, then no matter what the land price of the rest of the city is, the land occupied by our Xie family will appreciate in value. ”
"This is a set given to us by the people of the seven sects and five surnames!"
Xie Dongmin finally said helplessly.
