Yang Zhi explained the auction rules: "This time, a total of 5 cars will be auctioned, namely 2 Santana, a Xiali, a Beijing jeep and an imported crown. After a while, the host will announce a reserve price for each car auction and the minimum increase in each bid, and the person who intends to buy the car will use the reserve price as the www.biquge.info of the Qu Ge, and each time the price will be increased, and finally the highest bidder's offer will be announced three times and no one will continue to increase the price, and the transaction will be closed. However, there is one clause that the transaction price shall not be lower than the reserve price. ”

As soon as the words fell, the onlookers in the audience set off a heated discussion. This is an auction, huh? Some people seem to have understood the meaning, and their faces are clear; Some people didn't seem to understand what it meant, and eagerly asked the people next to them; Others didn't understand at all, but pretended to understand very well, and even laughed at their peers at those who were asking around

In fact, human beings have a long history of using auctions, and the earliest recorded auction was around 500 B.C., when the famous ancient Greek historian Herodotus described the auction of brides in the ancient Babylonian marriage market. By the time of the Roman Republic, auction activity reached its first peak, and on the basis of the auction of retained slaves, there were auctions of war trophies and auctions of goods. For example, Roman soldiers auctioned military uniforms, weapons, daily necessities, etc. to merchants accompanying them on the battlefield.

By the 17th and 18th centuries, auctions had taken shape as an industry. In 1741 and 1766, the world's two largest auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's, were founded in London.

The auction industry in China appeared in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and the earliest auction house was Ruismo & Co., which was established in Shanghai Port in 1874. Since then, France, Japan, Denmark and other countries have set up auction houses in SIPG. After the founding of New China, the state implemented a planned economic system, planned distribution of materials, and commodity trading prices were strictly restricted, so that the auction industry, which had a strong commodity economic color, had no conditions for survival. In 1958, the last auction house was closed in SIPG. For more than 30 years, auctions disappeared in China as a product of capitalism. The definition of auction in Ci Hai (1989) is still "the capitalist way of buying and selling". It was not until the 90s, when the socialist market economic system began to be established, that the auction industry gradually recovered and developed in the tide of reform and opening up.

So at this time, most people don't have any concept of the word auction. However, the principle of the auction is actually very simple, the highest bidder wins! So gradually, many of the people present also understood what was going on.

Li Guoming, Zhang Guangyu, Zhang Shanguang and others sitting on the rostrum are all people who have been up and down in the sea for many years and have seen a lot of things, so they are naturally thorough. Immediately, they all looked at Yang Zhilai, who was speaking, with very surprised eyes. This auction sounds really simple, but it's not so easy to come up with this method, Yang Zhi, this young man, really has something new in his head!

The initial surprise gradually subsided, and after a little thought, several questions also came to their minds: the bidding process is separated from the product itself, and people can't see anything, so how can they bid? And if you only set a reserve price, the car is a very luxurious and expensive thing at this time, and the demand is not very large, if no one bids, or only a few people bid, and the rules only say that it cannot be lower than the reserve price, then it is not very cheap to buy something?

In fact, Yang Zhi, who has experience in later generations, naturally thought of their worries for a long time. However, they obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the buyers, and after Yang Zhitong guò sent out the news that the machinery factory's cars were about to be auctioned through various channels, many people called or even came to consult in person, and many people made a special trip from neighboring districts and counties or even Jinyang City.

Because at this time, the car is indeed still high, and the market demand is not too large. But in contrast, the production is even smaller. In particular, the traditional large-scale automobile enterprises in China, such as FAW and FAW, are basically commercial trucks, and the cars used for rides, such as Hongqi and Shanghai, are exclusively for the use of leaders or government agencies, and are generally not sold to the public. The joint ventures such as Shanghai Volkswagen and Tianjin Toyota have just been established and are still in a state of small-batch trial production, and then there are some imported cars, which are also limited in quantity and more expensive.

What's worse is that buying a car in this era has to go through a lot of approval procedures, which is quite cumbersome. So if you want to buy a car, it's not enough to have money, you have to have a way!

And even if the approval is completed, with the level of transportation and logistics at this time, it is normal to wait for more than half a year from booking to picking up the car. For some self-employed people or a small number of potential buyers of private cars, the cars in the machinery factory are second-hand cars, which are not only much cheaper than new cars, but also can be driven away with payment. You must know that Yang Zhike promised to help them complete the transfer of ownership, registration and other qiē procedures, which is equivalent to a one-stop service, which makes some people very excited.

For those who are interested, Yang Zhidu asked Liu Tian to take them to actually see the car, and even some people who can drive even let them test drive it a little, and they all know the condition of the car. And in order to prevent someone from being bored and maliciously asking for the price but defaulting on the account afterwards, Yang Zhi also specially set a threshold, and he must pay 2,000 yuan as a deposit. As long as they participate in the auction normally, they will be returned in full afterwards, but if they maliciously bid for the debt, they will be confiscated directly.

Although some people were reluctant at first, the temptation that these cars were much cheaper than new ones, and the guarantee of the credibility of the state-owned enterprises, most of them finally paid the deposit.

In order to keep it secret, these intending car buyers were only told that they would adopt a novel sales method, and the specific details were naturally kept secret by Yang Zhi for the time being. So they knew that after listening to Yang Zhi's words just now, they knew that it was such an auction with the highest bidder. This made many people mutter: It's good to say no, why are you so mysterious?

In fact, Yang Zhi is also just in case, after all, those "collusion" or "bid-rigging" people in the bidding in the future generations are too powerful, and they have to guard against auctions!

No, after these buyers figured out what the auction was about, it didn't take long for them to come back to their senses, after all, at this time, those who had the money to buy cars were the first to go to the sea or the guys who were very wild, and their minds were all active.

TMD, if you had known this rule earlier, our brothers would have planned and planned in advance, and allocated it, you and I would have lowered the price, wouldn't we all be able to buy a car at a low price? They all looked depressed and looked at Yang Zhi's back with hatred.

Looking up, they finally understood. No wonder I was able to sit on the podium! At first, I thought it was preferential treatment, damn it, but now it dawned on me that it was so that they could not collude in front of everyone. With such a distance from each other, the key is that there are police officers standing next to them!

It seems that the guy who planned this auction not only has a new idea in his head, but TMD "piyan" is also very dark! These rich fellows sat on the stage with a sense of composure, but they cursed in their hearts.
