Chapter 311: Brown Sugar
Staring at the contents of the small plate in front of them, there were almost a few black lines hanging above everyone's heads. I thought that such a big pomp and circumstance would produce something amazing, but I didn't want everyone to be familiar with this thing.
"What are you doing? Isn't this just brown sugar, who hasn't seen it or eaten it? Shopkeeper Fang, are you playing tricks on all of us? One of the bosses yelled angrily.
"That's right, old Fang, what do you mean by welcoming guests? This brown sugar is a rarity for ordinary people, but people with a little copper money can afford it, you fool us with this thing, do you think we have time to lose? One of the older merchants got up angrily and asked.
The shopkeeper Fang separated his hands, pressed his palms down, and said with a smile: "The person who entrusted the store asked the store to auction a total of three items, this is the first one. Don't worry, it's better to try it with a small spoon next to the plate, if you are not satisfied, the store will prepare an apology, as an apology, you can leave by yourself. ”
Only then did everyone realize that there was a silver spoon next to the small plate. There are those careful merchants who have already found that this brown sugar is no different from the brown sugar on the market at a glance, but after a closer look, they find that it is much more delicate than the one on the market, and at a glance, the black impurities do not seem to be seen.
After hearing the words of the shopkeeper Fang, the merchant who couldn't wait picked up the silver spoon and scooped it into his mouth. There are those who want to see the jokes, and there are those who look forward to whether there is really something different.
After the brown sugar was entered, the merchant's eyes suddenly lit up. Ignoring the untasted person next to him, he stood up directly and said, "What kind of sales right is this, I want it." ”
Following his voice, everyone who tasted it next to him got up and said that they wanted to order. The footsteps of the part of the merchants who wanted to get up and leave were suddenly pulled back, and some people sat down hesitantly, and also picked up the silver spoon in front of them and scooped it to taste.
After tasting it, the person who had hesitated immediately regretted it. Hurriedly shouted: "We want it, we want this sales right." At this moment, the rest of the people who were still half-convinced and wanted to leave suddenly sat down.
The shopkeeper Fang let everyone shout the price one after another, but he didn't stop them. Wait until this stage is noisy like a vegetable market. Some merchants even quarrel to the point of red-faced and thick-necked. He gestured quietly.
Seeing this, everyone immediately quieted down obediently and listened to what the shopkeeper wanted to say. Seeing everyone's cooperation, Shopkeeper Fang showed a satisfied expression, and then said, "That's the case." Everyone believes that everyone has tasted this brown sugar. How about the quality. Needless to say, everyone is an insider, and they all know what this means! Today, the right to sell this brown sugar is twenty-four state capitals. The right to sell the first state capital is auctioned first. Of course, we use the lottery method to draw lots for the 24 state capitals, and if someone thinks that this state capital is suitable for them, they can take pictures. However, the person who needs to take a picture will be given a sign below, and a digital number will be displayed on the sign, and the minimum price increase is one hundred taels each time, and the maximum is unlimited. Those who need a brand need to pay a deposit of 1,000 taels per person first, and if there is no photographed business, there is no need to worry, and the deposit of 1,000 taels will be refunded with the brand, and you will never be charged a penny more. As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked up to the edge of the table with a stack of wooden cards.
The people who originally wanted to exchange the silver for the wooden card, these merchants are well-known in the local area, and only one thousand taels are not in their eyes, not to mention that the shopkeeper has made it clear that this thousand taels is just a deposit, which can be refunded when leaving.
Lin Xiaoman looked at the crowd below, fortunately she was well prepared, the wooden card was prepared enough, and almost everyone had a wooden card in their hand.
The shopkeeper saw that everyone took the wooden card, then said: "Thank you for your enthusiastic participation, and a lot of time has passed, now we officially enter the auction process, the first auction is the right to sell this brown sugar on your table, the reserve price is five thousand taels, the wooden card in your hand is equivalent to an increase of one hundred taels, please think about the card." Now announce the start of the auction under please! ”
As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, someone quickly raised his sign, and the side immediately followed, just like the spring bamboo shoots that were about to emerge, and kept raising their hands. It was not until eight thousand taels that it slowly slowed down. After all, although everyone has tasted this thing, if the price of the right to sell is too high, the price will inevitably be raised, so that one is afraid that it will not be sold at a high price, and the second is afraid that it will reduce the profit. That's not cost-effective, and the area of this first state capital is not the richest, so if you can't get it, you can also put it in the next state capital that suits you.
In the end, the first sale was sold to a merchant surnamed Qian for 8,600 taels. The man immediately came over with a plate, put a power of attorney in front of the boss of the money, and then stepped forward and whispered beside the boss of the money that after the end, he signed an agreement with the entrusted seller, because the wholesale price of brown sugar still needs to be summed up by the bosses of several state capitals at that time. The boss didn't drag his feet when he heard this, and after nodding, he directly put the eight thousand six hundred taels of silver tickets directly on the plate.
Shopkeeper Fang congratulated him and started the second round of auction. This auction gradually began to be methodical, and everyone calculated and calculated in their hearts, and then raised their hands to bid. Although some people are disappointed, there are also people who are proud. After all, everyone thinks differently, and the price of knowing this thing is also different. The auction price of the sales right in each state capital is different, but even so, some people have made a rough calculation, and the boss of this entrustment has made a net profit of nearly 200,000 taels just by selling the sales right. Scared everyone out of the woods, this is a white wolf with empty gloves!
As soon as the auction of this brown sugar fell, the shopkeeper Fang's smiling eyes were about to shine! Then he said to the merchants who had not been photographed: "Don't be discouraged, bosses, there are still two things waiting for you to taste." It's just that the auction sales method of this second kind is a little different from the brown sugar, and this auction is the general agent, that is, the defective goods will only be provided to the general agent in the future. However, the merchants who previously auctioned the right to sell brown sugar have the right of first refusal to buy and cannot refuse to provide the source of goods for any reason. You guys have to think clearly before shooting, don't talk much nonsense, go on things first. (To be continued......)
