Chapter 752: The Auction House Tries Its Tricks
After browsing the scenery of Guozijian and familiarizing himself with the layout of each place, he left Guozijian and returned to his new home.
The pomegranate has long been picked up by him, but the newlywed phobia is still unabated, as long as it is night, the door is closed, and he will never let him step in, and there are two maid rings in the bedroom to protect him, lest he sneak in.
For her mentality, the people of the Chen family felt funny, and many middle-aged maid housekeepers volunteered to give her psychological counseling, telling her that this kind of thing is actually not so terrible, but Pomegranate is very afraid of this kind of thing, and the torture suffered by Qiu Xiang when she was pregnant has caused too heavy a shadow in her heart.
Zuo Ling and Xiao Nier often came to see her, and when they saw the appearance of these two people, the shadow area in her heart was even greater.
Helpless, besides, these days I have been sleeping alone in the study of my new home.
Since he picked up the pomegranate, he has never gone to Li Xiangjun's place for the night.
I have to say that when I was with Li Xiangjun, I felt so good, I really felt that the two of them seemed to be fused together, and I felt the feeling of no hurry that my soul was trembling.
This also made him vigilant, once he indulged in it, I am afraid that he will be unable to extricate himself.
It is said that at the age of the blood and qi Fanggang, there is no self-control in this kind of thing, but he is a famous doctor and knows the importance of a person's spirit and spirit to the body. Although he is in excellent health now, and the normal relationship between men and women will not cause him much damage, and he can fully recover during the day, he understands that this is the case in the short term, but in the long term, it will bring irreversible harm.
It's like alcoholism, it starts with a sip of drinking, then a cup of drink, and then a big bowl of drinking, alcoholism is an inevitable result, don't even think about it.
Don't look at Zhou Dingcheng's wine glass every day, it is not only because of his deep internal strength, but also because he is not a woman, so his body can bear it, if ordinary people drink like that, people will be drunk long ago.
The reason why the heroes of Liangshan can always eat and drink in big bowls of wine and meat is also because they are not close to women and concentrate on boiling their strength.
It is said that after Emperor Chongzhen got Chen Yuanyuan, he was very pampered and stayed with Chen Yuanyuan for seven consecutive nights, but when he came out to see the chapter, he lost seven cities, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly sent Chen Yuanyuan out of the palace.
Besides, of course, he is not afraid of losing any territory, he has no territory to lose, he is afraid of physical damage. As a scholar of the I Ching, he knows too well the truth of preventing microaggressions.
"All of your skills were taught by the Skinny Horse family?" Besides, I once asked Li Xiangjun.
"Of course, but you also need a little talent in this area, it's not just about teaching, it's actually the same as you literati reading and writing articles." Li Xiangjun said calmly.
"How did you learn that, weren't you all virgins when you first debuted?" And that's what I don't understand the most.
Learning is nothing more than two methods: theory and practice, and the so-called theory comes from practice to practice, and without practice, simple study is equivalent to empty talk.
Scholars pay attention to traveling thousands of miles, in fact, they have to practice, and a lot of practice writing articles and poems is also a kind of practice, and it is impossible to become a talent just by reading the books of sages. However, it is difficult to understand how a virgin can learn such a mesmerizing skill.
"Of course it's a secret, you don't want to train your maids, do you?" Li Xiangjun didn't want to say it, so she smiled and forked.
"Of course not, I'm just wondering."
"Do you want to try those two girls, their skills are no worse than mine." Li Xiangjun smiled.
Besides, hurry up and make gestures, thank you Bumin, he can't bear one Li Xiangjun, and if there are two more, he may really sink.
Besides, I don't want to ask about this topic anymore, I know that there must be many unspeakable things in it, and if you don't understand it, forget it. This ancient family of specialized in mass-producing special girls has endless mysteries.
These days, I have nothing to do and start training Li Xiangjun, Fei'er, and Wan'er to be auctioneers. He is not good at auctions, but fortunately there is no such thing in the mainland, and even if there is one in the coast, it is estimated that it is still in the initial stage, and it may not be as good as he can envision. He sets the rules of the auction himself, and in the final analysis, it is a good rule that the rules of the game can attract customers.
The three girls are very concerned about this matter, they don't want to stay at home all day, and they don't want to be raised like this, not to mention that doing an auction business is really fun.
Besides, the clever words are like springs, advocating how the auction house will make money if it becomes popular, and the three of them will easily become rich women, and these three people are really fooled by him, and they will believe whatever he says.
It's not that their resistance to men is not strong enough, but because there is a precedent for Zuo Ling, Zuo Ling is because of the support of the situation, and now she has become a famous rich woman in Nanjing.
Besides, he is not sure whether the auction house can become popular, he actually doesn't need to open any auction house, he likes Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, Shen Zhou's calligraphy and painting, especially Tang Bohu's falling flower poem manuscript has been completed half, Wen Zhengming is also writing calligraphy with a strong sense of urgency, he is reluctant to sell these works at all, and he now has the financial resources to collect them all.
But after all, this is something he has been planning for a long time, and there is always some regret in his heart if he doesn't do it.
Originally, he planned to open this auction house with Zuo Ling, but now that there are three Li Xiangjun, they happen to be idlers, and opening an auction house can be regarded as making the best use of it.
The shops of the auction house are ready-made, and the Marquis of Wucheng has a lot of properties in Nanjing, and there are many shops under the name of his second room. Moreover, an auction house was built in a place close to the noble circle.
After training Li Xiangjun and the three of them for a period of time, they entered the rehearsal stage, and invited friends such as Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, and Wen Bin, as well as some servants at home, to hold up signs below and let Li Xiangjun preside over the auction.
Even though he had repeated the rules over and over again, the first rehearsal ended up being a big joke.
Besides, he took out a painting of Tang Bohu as an auction item and asked the people below to bid virtually, but the servants sitting below immediately went crazy when they saw Li Xiangjun. There are no auction items in their eyes at all, and there is no such owner, only Li Xiangjun's national color and natural fragrance.
Anyway, it was a virtual bidding, and they didn't want to really pay for the money, but the price rose to an astronomical amount in a short time, and when they reacted, a servant had already shouted out the price of 10 million taels of gold.
Besides, he was so angry that he slapped him twice, and he was still angry, and kicked him twice.
"Are you sure the emperor has so much gold? Even if you add up the gold in the whole country and the world, there is not so much, do you think gold is dirty? ”
It was only then that these servants came to their senses, and they all bowed their heads with red faces.
Ten million taels is one million kilograms, that is, a thousand tons, and there really wasn't that much gold in the world at that time, unless all the underground gold reserves are counted.
The first auction was a complete failure.
Besides, I know that the road of virtual bidding can't be played, and I have to let the buyer really pay for it.
A few days later, he asked Wu Chenghou and the British Duchess to help find some buyers, and this time the auction items were still Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings, and a total of ten were taken out.
Let these two people help find buyers because they are familiar people, even if they make any jokes, they can round the show, and it can't affect the reputation of the auction house.
The effect of this official auction was surprisingly good, and those princes' children immediately lit up when they saw Li Xiangjun, vying to show how big their coffee was.
Moreover, the original estimated price jumped more than three times in a flash, this is mainly because the auction is not expensive antiques and jewelry, and the price is not much higher.
"Profiteers, vampires." Tang Bohu scolded bitterly, he scolded Weng Yanling and Sun Guangshao.
"That's it, how much blood these two bastards have sucked us over the years, it's not just a few houses in Nanjing." Shen Zhou, who has always been generous, also scolded.
"No wonder they are so rich, it turns out that they are all scavenged from us." Wen Zhengming was also resentful.
Besides, they didn't speak, Weng Yanling and Sun Guangshao did lower the price for the three of them, but it was not so low, this is mainly because the auction price is indeed different from the general selling price, sometimes it is much higher, sometimes it will be lower, and even the auction may be unsuccessful.
The success of this auction has a decisive relationship with Li Xiangjun, which also makes me feel proud, it seems that letting Li Xiangjun preside over the auction is indeed the right one, and he will wait for the auction house to become popular in the future.
"Besides, in the future, our calligraphy and paintings can be sold at this price?" Wen Zhengming was a little frightened, this price was indeed much higher than their psychological expectations.
"It's hard to say, maybe it can be higher, maybe lower, and sometimes it will be unsuccessful. The unsuccessful auction is that the price is too high, and no one sells. On average, though, the price should be about the same today. Besides, he laughed.
Besides, he knows in his heart that the starting price of the works of these three people must be set at a high price, and he is not afraid of losing the auction, if he can't shoot it this time, he will auction it again next time, as long as he holds most of the works of these three people in his hands, he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell them at a high price.
It is true to say that Weng Yanling and Sun Guangshao are profiteers, no businessmen are not traitors, but where are the stupid businessmen in the past dynasties who do not talk about profits and even post money?
After the auction, the four of them went to a restaurant for a drink.
Drinking was secondary, and the main thing was to divide the money, and besides, I promised them that after auctioning off their works, I would give each of them an extra twenty percent of the price. In the past year, the enthusiasm of the three of them has been high, and every time they take away real gold and silver, can it not rise?
Generally speaking, the auction house can only charge a handling fee, but it bought the works of these three people first, auctioned their own goods, and now they are just fulfilling their promise and giving them a commission.
This financial road was successfully opened, and the four of them were not happy.
