Chapter Eighty-Three: Sky-high Tickets
Under the guidance of Wang Huan, a batch of small leaflets were printed, and the publicity gimmick of the leaflets was "out of print"!
The leaflet reads: Due to the need to relocate, reorganize and rebuild the car dealership, no horse-drawn carriages of any type will be manufactured and sold in the short term, and no taxi service will be provided, and the last batch of out-of-print horse-drawn carriages for employees in the car dealership will be auctioned outside Ping An Automobile Store in the 5th day, and all the houses and carriages under their names will be sold in the form of auction.

After an afternoon of publicity, public opinion was in an uproar, and this blockbuster news became the talk of Lujiang citizens after dinner, and all kinds of gossip spread among the citizens.
"You heard that there is no safe car dealer to sell cars, and there is still an auction."
"Listen to what my lady said, I finally saved up money to buy a Cruze, and it seems that I can't buy it without hurrying the last time!"
"yes, I want to change to a Cayenne!"
"Just blow it!"
……
"Alas, you said that as soon as the Hou Qianjin and Duwei Zhu Xiao became married, Wang Gongzi was going to sell the car dealership and leave the country, is there something going on inside?"
"What can it be, isn't he still going to the feast?"
"Didn't you see it, last night Wang Gongzi was drunk and hugged a woman with a peerless face downstairs in my house, I saw it really upstairs!"
"Is it stimulated?"
……
Five days later, at the end of the day, the sun was already fading westward with its afterglow.
The street outside the safe car shop was once again blocked, and there were twenty tables on the left side of the car dealership, which were filled with delicate pastries and fruits, and ten tables on the right were full of fine tea and wine.
There are 150 chairs on the street in front of the door, and the backrest of the first 50 chairs is hung with a very expensive silk cloth, and the silk cloth of each chair reads "Lord Zhang", "Liu Zhoumu", "Yang Taishou", "Li Guanren" and so on.
As early as three days ago, these VIP seats were sold out at prices ranging from 500 taels to 100 taels, and many wealthy businessmen from other places rushed to Lujiang after getting the news, begging their grandfather to tell their grandmother that they could not buy a VIP ticket.
This move also gave birth to the scalper industry in the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the fake scalpers, and they are all pretended to be Brother Kui's younger brother, there are few real scalpers who can get tickets, 50 VIP seats are not sold to the public, and the pricing of the last 100 auction seats ranges from 100 taels to 10 taels.
Three days before the auction, the tickets for ordinary seats were sold to more than 500 taels a piece, and I have to say that Wang Huan was merciful enough to those officials, and sold them extremely cheap VIP tickets at an internal price to give them enough face.
On the day of the auction, the whole street outside the safe car shop was full of traffic, and the voices of people were boiling, and the shouts of fake scalpers were heard from time to time: "The last few tickets, the last few tickets, the tickets in the 12th row are 800 taels, the tickets in the 9th row are 1000 taels, and there is still an hour before the auction begins, and it is outdated!" ”
In the car dealership, Wang Huan was wearing a goose yellow robe with gold trim, like a piece of flawless jade fused into a jade figure, Brother Kui beside him looked out of the door from time to time, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "The means of robbing money are still clever sons!" ”
Wang Huan said angrily: "What is robbing money? Let's pick potential customers! First of all, the people who have no purchasing ability and still occupy the pit and do not, and those who are willing to participate in the auction at a high price are the owners who can afford to buy, do you understand? ”
Brother Kui admired him so much that he nodded his head and agreed: "Yes, yes, what Childe said makes sense." ”
The employees of the car dealership struggled to maintain the order of the venue, and the time from the start of the auction was getting closer and closer, and there were more and more people, and almost half of the people in Lujiang City came, gathering outside the safe car dealership.
The house opposite the car shop has been turned into an auditorium, and the rooms on the second floor are crammed with people, and even several people are squatting on the roof.
"Liu Xuan! Liu Zhoumu arrived! ”
"Sheep continued! The sheep is too guarded! ”
"Zhu Xiao! Captain Zhu has arrived! ”
"Du Ye! Du Daguan has arrived! ”
……
One after another, in Yangzhou, Lujiang covered the sky with one hand, and the officials and wealthy businessmen of the rich side arrived one after another.
Elaborately dressed maids act as etiquette, already waiting for these VIPs at the entrance, and each VIP will dutifully lead people to the VIP seats to sit, and then intimately serve fruits, snacks, tea, etc., showing their dignity.
In the crowd side by side, the fake scalper rode onto the shoulder of a companion, raised the last ticket in his hand and shouted, "The last ticket, the ticket for the 5th row!" 3000 taels! If you don't want to, you won't have a chance! ”
When everyone in the VIP seat heard this, they turned their heads and looked at the fake scalpers who were selling in surprise, and the surrounding citizens also gasped, who was kicked in the brain by a donkey, and would spend 3,000 taels to buy a ticket? 3000 taels is enough to buy a Gallardo!
"Wait! Little brother and more! I'm going to! I want your ticket! ”
The one who was kicked by the donkey is coming......
In the distance of the crowd, the lord who had been kicked by the donkey was bloated, dressed even more luxuriously than some of the wealthy merchants in the VIP seats, and was followed by a dozen or so servants.
"Borrowed, borrowed."
"I'm sorry to let one go, let one let ......"
Everyone gave way to this sha, and after passing through everyone, the fat man was already sweating, came to the scalper and gasped and said, "Little brother, I want your vote!" ”
The scalper was stunned, Brother Kui just asked him to bring someone to speculate the price, and the last ticket was set at a high price, reflecting that this auction was a high-end and high-grade auction, and he didn't think anyone would buy it for 3,000 taels.
The fat man looked at the scalper who had not spoken for a long time and asked suspiciously, "Is the little brother too little?" In this way, I will add another 100 taels to see if you can give me the ticket, and it will start immediately, and it will be too late if you don't go in. ”
The scalper handed him the ticket, and the fat man gratefully took the crumpled ticket in the scalper's hand, turned around and slapped a servant on the head and scolded: "Give money!" What to see! ”
The servant nodded resignedly, took off the burden from his body, and handed it to the scalper.
When did Brother Kui's little brother see so many white flowers of silver, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and tapped it, 3100 taels, a lot! Thinking excitedly: It's not good that Brother Kui will reward himself with dozens of taels as soon as he is happy!
The welcome lady also has the eyesight, and came to the fat man with a generous hand and said apologetically: "Big official, I'm sorry, the ticket is only for one person, you see if these entourages of yours are ......"
The fat man turned around and scolded angrily: "Let you come early to buy tickets one by one for Lao Tzu to grind foreign workers, now it's okay to spend 3,100 taels to get tickets, don't ask for this month's salary!" Get out there and wait! ”
Turning around, under the leadership of Miss Etiquette, she walked into the venue with a scolding.
Everyone has not recovered from the shock, and there are already people in the crowd counting the Tsing Yi entourage brought by the fat man, no more than 15 of them, this entourage has 200 taels of wages a month! What kind of master is this?!
After the fat man sat down, Miss Manners intimately handed over a wet towel, as well as a few plates of snacks and tea, and he was afraid that only he could get this special care for ordinary seats.
Seeing that the hour was approaching, an employee trotted into the front hall and reported to Wang Huanyu, who was still drinking tea and chatting with Brother Kui: "Young master, the hour is almost up." ”
Wang Huan nodded, waved him to stand back, stood up, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the front hall.
The noisy crowd saw Wang Huan come out and quieted down.
Coming to a well-decorated table outside the door, Wang Huan picked up the homemade megaphone on the table and said to the bustling crowd: "I am honored to hold this auction today, I am very happy to have so many pillars of the imperial court, the support of my fathers and fellow villagers, thank you!" ”
After bowing deeply, he continued: "Actually, today's auction is on a whim, I followed the master to farm in the countryside when I was a child, and I am used to living in the countryside, and I am not used to living in the city until now. ”
There was an uproar underneath, what kind of logic is this? Tired and going to farming?
Someone in the crowd said, "Isn't it true that you already have a beautiful woman with you, Prince Wang?" Why do you want to leave Lujiang, where will we take the car after you leave, and where will we buy a car? ”
Wang Huan smiled slightly and said: "Zhu Duwei is married, it's not too much for me to find a confidant, right?" ”
The crowd burst into laughter, they didn't like Wen Xuan's rhetoric, and what the public liked was his vernacular.
Wang Huan continued: "The concern of the brother just now must also be the concern of the neighbors, the villagers and the elders, after I leave, there will be some cars for everyone to use, and what I have withdrawn is only the rental service of internal employees." ”
Wang Huan picked up the small wooden hammer on the table and shook it and said: "Getting back to business, now I will talk about the rules of the auction, every time there will be a lot displayed in front of everyone and indicate the starting price, that is, the reserve price. ”
Liu Miao smiled and asked, "Prince Wang, what if Yang Taishou looks at a car with a license plate and offers, I also like it?" ”
The Taishou Yang on the side said with sincere fear: "Don't torture the lower officials, how dare the lower officials take away your love." ”
Wang Huan explained: "The auction is operated by bidding, if Lord Liu likes it, he will raise a sign to offer, according to the different lots, there will be a minimum standard for a single price increase, if other VIPs also see it, the same can also be offered." ”
A wealthy businessman asked, "How do you determine the winner?" Does the one with the highest price get it? ”
Wang Huan nodded and said: "If a lot, after several rounds of bidding, no one bids, and finally it is obtained by the VIP with the highest bid, when no one quotes, I will ask three times, and no one will increase the price after three inquiries. ”
