Chapter 128: Auction, What Reputation? 2

Yang Zhi explained the auction rules: "A total of 5 cars were auctioned this time, namely 2 Santana, 1 Xiali, 1 Beijing Jeep and 1 imported Crown. ※%, After a while, the host will announce a reserve price for each car auction and the minimum increase in each bid, and those who intend to buy this vehicle will use the reserve price as the www.biquge.info of the Ququ 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 article, the transaction price shall not be lower than the bottom. ”

As soon as the words fell, a heated discussion broke out in the audience. 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 closed in SIPG, and for more than 30 years, the auction disappeared from China. 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 auction is actually very simple, the price 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 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 way, Yang Zhi, this young man, really has something new in his head!

But then several questions came to their minds: the bidding process is separated from the product itself, and people can't see things, so how can they bid? And only set a reserve price, and the car at this time is a very luxurious and expensive thing, the demand is not very large, if no one bids, or only a few people bid, the rule only says 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 the news that the machinery factory's cars were about to be auctioned through various channels, many people called or came to consult in person, and many people made a special trip from other districts and counties and even Jinyang City. Why is that?

Because at this time, the car is indeed still high, and the market demand is not too large. But in contrast, the production of automobiles is smaller. In particular, the traditional 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 government agencies where the leaders are alive, and are not sold to the public. The joint ventures such as Shanghai Volkswagen and Tianjin Toyota have just been established and are still in trial production, and then there are some imported cars, the number of which is relatively limited.

Moreover, in this era, there are very right approval procedures for selling cars, which is quite cumbersome, not only to have money, but also to have a way!

And even if the approval is completed, it is normal for more than half a year to take place between the booking of the car and the pick-up. 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, and the price is much cheaper than that of new cars, and you can drive away with payment. Moreover, Yang Zhi also promised to help them complete the transfer of ownership, registration and other 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 in the factory to take them to actually see the car, and even some people who can drive also let them test drive it a little, and they all know the condition of the car. And in order to prevent someone from defaulting on the bill when someone is bored and maliciously bidding, Yang Zhi also specially set a threshold, and he must pay a deposit of 2,000 yuan first. 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 cars, and the credibility of the state-owned enterprises, most of them finally paid the deposit.

In order to maintain confidentiality, these prospective car buyers were only told that it would be auctioned, but the specific details were not disclosed. Only then did they realize that it was the meaning of such a high-priced person. Some people muttered in their hearts: It would have been good to say it earlier, why are you so mysterious?

In fact, Yang Zhi is also just in case, after all, those who "collude" or "rig bids" during bidding in later generations are too powerful, and they have to be prevented from doing 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 I had known this rule earlier, my brother had planned and planned in advance, and assigned it, you and I would have lowered the price, wouldn't we all be able to buy a car at a low price? Several people were depressed and miserable.

Looking around, I finally understood. This rostrum is really not that easy to sit on! At first, I thought it was preferential treatment, damn it, but now I know that it was so that they couldn't collude in front of everyone. They are still so far apart 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 also has a dark asshole! These rich fellows sat on the stage with a sense of calmness, but their hearts were full of wails.
