Chapter 164: The Auction House
"Still looking at the spirit like this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Princess Wu smiled and stretched out her hand towards Song Wan'er.
Song Wan'er took a few steps forward, helped Princess Wu, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked outside.
At the gate of King Wu's Mansion, there was already a carriage waiting, and when they saw Princess Wu and Song Wan'er coming out, everyone bent down and saluted.
"Auntie, Wan'er." Liuzhou walked over to Princess Wu and Song Wan'er with a smile on her face.
Yunmo deliberately left Liuzhou in Youzhou, and Dark Seven also followed Song Wan'er's side, Song Wan'er had something to do for them.
After Princess Wu and Song Wan'er got into the car, the coachman snorted softly, and the carriage was suddenly pulled by the horse and walked forward.
Liuzhou and Dark Seven rode their horses and followed the carriage, and the group headed towards the largest auction house in Youzhou City.
At the entrance of the auction house, there are a lot of people at the moment, and at the gate of the grand style, the young woman is dressed in white, and when she sees the arrival of the guests, she smiles before saying a word, which instantly makes the guests' mood better.
The man's eyes swept over the white wrist, his gaze became a little obscene, many obscure thoughts flashed in his heart, and his face was even more uncontrollable with a smile.
The woman in white didn't seem to see the bad thoughts in the guest's heart, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
Song Wan'er was a little unaccustomed to it, "No one cares about them like this?" ”
Princess Wu said: "Don't worry, they won't suffer, if you really underestimate them, it must be the guests who suffer." ”
The guest stepped forward with a smile on his face, and was about to take the girl's hand and touch a few handfuls, but the outstretched hand did not touch the soft little hand, but a pair of big hands stopped in front of him, grabbed his hand like pincers, and said in a vicious voice: "What do you want to do?" ”
The man in front of him looks like five big and three groups, and his temples are bulging, and he looks like a practicing family.
The guest's face changed suddenly, and when he saw the woman in white stopped behind him, he was about to get angry, and then he saw the person standing behind the man.
More than a dozen strong men were all standing not far away, still holding weapons in their hands, and their eyes were all looking at him.
The guest immediately laughed and explained, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. ”
"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's go inside." Having said that, he grabbed the middle-aged man's hand with a slight force, and only after seeing that his face changed slightly, did he let go.
The woman in white stepped forward again to lead the way, and now the middle-aged man was much more honest, following the woman in white along the way, with many thoughts in his heart, he noticed the pain in his hand, and he didn't dare to say anything.
"This boss is really good at business." Song Wan'er saw this scene in her eyes and said with a smile.
The charming woman was dressed in white, and such a harmless appearance instantly lowered the vigilance in everyone's hearts, and after paying the money, no matter what you wanted, if you were given a move of force to deter, you would become honest.
"It deserves to be the largest auction house in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun." Song Wan'er said.
"It's almost time, let's go inside." Princess Wu said.
"Hmm." Song Wan'er nodded and followed Princess Wu's side, followed by Liuzhou and Dark Qi behind the two of them, paying attention to the surroundings.
"The princess of the palace, the princess." A person came out of the door of the auction house, it was the big proprietor who was busy with the auction, and when he heard the news, he rushed over directly and personally sent Princess Wu and Song Wan'er into the best Accord, serving them with good tea and water.
"Alright, I know you have a lot of things to do today, so let's go." Princess Wu said.
The big proprietor said a few words modestly and politely, he was indeed very busy today, this was the last auction of the year, and he said goodbye, and then left, "The princess, the princess, if you have something to order as soon as possible, the little one will leave first." ”
In the Accord, Song Wan'er spread her hands and opened the album placed in front of her, the things drawn on it are very exquisite, it can be seen that the person who painted is skilled, and under the picture, there is a simple introduction, including the name and effect, and the function.
"Exquisite Cup." Song Wan'er turned a page and wrote: "After the water is poured in, it instantly turns into fine wine." ”
Isn't this a natural brewing cup?
Song Wan'er then turned the page, "Serpentine grass, highly poisonous, one of the medicinal materials of the longevity pill." ”
Seeing a few familiar herbs, Song Wan'er became a little interested, and when she opened it, there were weapons, porcelain, pills, and even everything she had never heard of.
Below the attic, the huge auction house hall was occupied by everyone, including Jianghu people with swords on their backs, weak literati with most of the scholars, and merchants in brocade, sitting together in twos and threes, discussing today's auction.
This is the largest auction house in Youzhou, and today's auction is the biggest auction of the year, and many things that you have never heard of on weekdays will be auctioned today.
Song Wan'er put down the brochure in her hand, looked at the noisy crowd below, and said, "The background of this auction house is not simple. ”
The world's treasures, not to mention that there are all here, at least half of them, if there is no background, I am afraid that it will be closed long ago and cause a big disaster.
The inquiring gaze looked at Dark Seven and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Dark Seven did not hesitate at all, and immediately explained the background of the auction house clearly.
"It turns out that our Wuwang Mansion also accounts for thirty percent of the dry shares." Song Wan'er said, no wonder the big owner was so enthusiastic just now.
Princess Wu nodded, "When the auction house was established, the big proprietor sent thirty percent of the dry shares. ”
At that time, everyone could not have imagined that the auction house would one day become so big and become the largest auction house in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
"This guy really knows how to do business." Song Wan'er said, I feel that this big owner is very good at planning, and she was curious about this person from the scene at the door, and now that she has heard some of his deeds, she feels more and more that this person is a talent.
The financial source of the Wuwang Mansion over the years, I have to say that the auction house has made a lot of efforts.
What is the war for, money!
Soldiers fight with generals, nobly to realize their ambitions, but in reality to live, to live well.
Money is needed to fight a war, money is also needed to settle soldiers after a war, and the families of those soldiers who died on the battlefield all require a large amount of money, and relying on the little money issued by the imperial court alone, even the funeral expenses are not enough, let alone taking care of the families of those sacrificed soldiers.
A large amount of money earned by the Wuwang Mansion was spent on these people, and it was thanks to Princess Wu that she knew how to do business, and she had attracted many people like the big owners of the auction house over the years, and she had made a lot of money openly and secretly, so that the Wuwang Mansion had such a prestige.
Song Wan'er felt that she had gained knowledge today, especially some of Princess Wu's business experience, which made her feel very interesting.
Princess Wu saw that Song Wan'er was willing to listen, and she was happy to teach her more, so that she could familiarize herself with these things earlier. (To be continued.) )
