Chapter 50 Internal Subscription
The next day, Chen Wenhui went to Princess Lichuan's mansion early in the morning and sent the silver tickets for Chen Guifei's house and shop to Princess Lichuan. It was supposed to be sent to the palace in person, but Chen Guifei spoke early in the morning, and all the belongings, including her dowry, and the property donated by the ladies, were put in Princess Lichuan, and after being sold, they were stored in Princess Lichuan, and the princess assigned someone to keep special accounts, which will be used for the construction of hospitals and Yangshan Hall in the future, and daily expenses. Therefore, Chen Wenhui went directly to Princess Lichuan and put this silver ticket directly to Princess Lichuan.
In the morning, when she took out these silver tickets from the clip, Chen Wenhui was still very reluctant, because it was not easy to save so much money, and she spent it away, which was really distressing. Although Chen Wenhui is already very rich, most of them are invested in industry. Fortunately, this time, the Chen family sold a lot of Huzhou's industries one after another. This Bai family has so much money to give to Wen Hui. However, Wen Hui guessed that as soon as the Bai family took out this money and the money from his family to buy a house, it was estimated that there was not much left in the family. Hey, after all, it's a small family, just starting out, and the accumulation is shallow.
Although Chen Wenhui was a little distressed when she took the money. But as soon as I thought about it, as soon as I took this money, the Hei family gave the equivalent value of Nanyang land to the Xiao Chen family, and I liked it very much, but this money was not spent in vain. This money can probably buy a hundred times the place of their three Zhuangzi in Heyang Prefecture in Nanyang, how big this must be. Millions of acres of land. Of course, there are mountains, rivers, and land in these lands, and there are about one million acres suitable for farming. With so much land, Chen Wenhui was drunk when she thought about it. Is this a landlord?
In the midst of this nonsense, the maid had already said that the princess's mansion had arrived. Chen Wenhui was busy with the support of the maid, got out of the carriage, and went straight to the flower hall of the princess's mansion.
When I saw the princess, I found that the princess was wearing a light pink skirt and a purple short jacket, dressed neatly. Chen Wenhui first greeted the salute. Princess Lichuan said: "There are no outsiders here, what kind of courtesy do you have?" I just hope that when you are still like Shanghai City, you will be free with me. ”
Wen Hui smiled and said, "Sister Princess, in fact, I also hate these red tapes. Where are we comfortable in Shanghai. ”
Princess Lichuan laughed.
Wen Hui asked: "Sister Princess, is she going to work if she is dressed so neatly today?" ”
Princess Lichuan said: "It's not work, I don't see guests today, I specially reconcile with the housekeepers at home, this year, I have always been busy, and the accounts in our house have been ignored for a long time." You know, my family has a lot of accounts, including from our princess's house, my parents-in-law's side, and a few uncles' families. That's it, it's easy, in the past two years, the little uncles in the uncle's mansion have all married daughters-in-law, all of whom are from high-ranking families I found, and they are very good at housekeeping. I taught for a while and got started, but let me lighten the burden a little, it doesn't depend on the income of Shanghai City and Xinguang City. That's it, now it's about the hospital and the Yangshantang, you say, it's not a job. Is it increasing? ”
Wen Hui smiled and said, "I can't do the work in the princess's sister's house, but I can share a little bit of the matter of the hospital and the Yangshan Hall." ”
The big girl beside Princess Lichuan glanced at Wen Hui and lowered her head again. Princess Lichuan was very happy and said, "Good sister, I have been waiting for your words for a long time." You're well organized in Shanghai City, can I still not know? I said it a long time ago. Such a talent, but to learn those embroidery building girls to embroider, drink tea, chat, isn't it tyrannical? You don't have anything to do right now anyway. Why don't you come to my house every day and take care of the accounts of this hospital and Yangzentang? When the hospital and Yangshantang are built, how about you just sit in Yangshantang? Mrs. Liu is in the hospital, so I can save myself. ”
Wen Hui didn't postpone it, and immediately said, "I listen to the arrangement of the princess's sister." ”
Princess Lichuan liked Wen Hui's crispness very much, and immediately ordered the maids around her to move the accounts about the hospital and Yangshantang.
Wen Hui said at this time: "Sister Princess, I came to send you the money from the house and shop sold by my eldest aunt in the dowry. ”
After speaking, the big girl Qiu Bi beside her took out a box with a red lacquer lady and sent it to the big girl next to Princess Lichuan. The big girl sent the box in her hand to Princess Lichuan. Princess Lichuan nodded, the big girl reached out and opened the box, only to see that inside the box was a neat stack of silver tickets, Princess Lichuan skimmed, her eyes flashed with surprise and said, "So many?" I told my mother before that her dowry of 100,000 taels of silver back then must be more than 100,000 taels today, and she didn't believe it much when she lived in the deep palace for a long time, but today I saw that it was more than 100,000 taels. ”
Wen Hui smiled and said: "The house is priced at 200,000 taels, and the shop is priced at 400,000 taels." Does the Great Aunt want to donate it all? We don't need that much money for the time being. If it weren't for what the eldest aunt said, donate 100,000 taels, and the remaining 500,000 taels will be entrusted to the people of the Hei family to buy land in Nanyang, so that the income will be a lot in a year. ”
Princess Lichuan said: "Qian'er, you told me that this house and shop were sold to the black family, right? The Hei family is really wealthy, but it should be, after all, the family has been inherited for thousands of years, which is longer than the inheritance of our four major families, and these accumulations are only a drop in the bucket. If you want to donate all this silver, I will enter the palace tomorrow and personally ask my mother to show me. By the way, since you are your own people who buy these house shops, why are you still selling them so expensive? According to what I thought, the market price of these four shops is 3.67 million taels. That house is not particularly big, that is, the geographical location is good, and it has fallen into disrepair, so it looks like a hundred thousand taels, why do you give so much. ”
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "The Hei family is rich anyway, so such a little money is nothing." If you talk about it, I do charge a little more expensive for these shops and houses. But if you really put it at the auction at the donation ceremony, you will definitely be able to sell it for a more expensive price. I opened a back door for the black family, so that they could buy it directly without bidding, it was already very cheap, where did I have to count the tens of thousands of taels of silver that came out? As for saying that the house is in disrepair, this may have to be considered in other people's homes, but in the eyes of the black family, it is nothing at all, there are not many other black families, but there are many skilled craftsmen, and they don't need to invite people from outside, they can build it themselves. ”
Princess Lichuan smiled and said, "You are fair." In this way, this house is still the most suitable to sell to the black family, isn't it? Legend has it that the craftsmanship of the black family is very good, and when they are repaired in the future, I would like to go and see how it goes. Anyway, take back the 600,000 taels of silver. It's just that when you talk about auctions, I'm also a little curious, how do you want to operate it? In the past few days, the donations that the ladies had promised have been taken out, and the treasury is full, so you can see if it will be carried out first. ”
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Actually, I just thought that everyone would take out some jewelry heads, jewelry and jade, ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and other things to donate, so that an auction would do." But when I look at it this way, like my aunt, I donated a house and four shops. Under the leadership of the eldest aunt, some wives also donated some farm houses. This is really in demand, especially the farmhouses in the Gyeonggi area, which are often priceless, so let's open an internal auction first. Make a booklet of these jewelry, antiques, and farm houses, and then mark the price according to the market price, and ask the ladies who participated in the donation on the day to come to an internal auction first. This will be held in a few days. When these treasures are all subscribed by everyone, we will mark the rest, mark the reserve price, make a booklet, and invite people to publicize it, it is best to let all parts of Dachu know about this auction, and then book the date until two months later, so that the rich businessmen from afar can also have time to come and participate. When the time comes, the more people there are, the more we can sell for a good price. How does Sister Princess look? ”
Princess Lichuan smiled and said, "Your idea is thoughtful, but how to do this publicity?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I want to find a group of painters first, and put a price on these things, so that I can hold an internal subscription meeting." After opening, let the painter draw all the things, and then set the price of each thing, with explanations, so that it is printed into a booklet one by one, and entrusted to the shops or the government to distribute to the rich merchants and families in various places, and the people in need will naturally come. For example, the princess's sister's porcelain vase from this official kiln on the Duobao Pavilion. You can draw it, and then with such an explanation, the official kiln produces an open amphora, this bottle has a disc mouth, a slender neck, a neck with a ring on both ears, a folded shoulder, a barrel belly, and a circle foot. The whole body is full of green glaze, the glaze is full, moist and bright, like ice and jade, and the neck is slightly open. The feet are exposed, flint red. The shape is simple and generous, the tire is heavy, and it has a solemn and dignified atmosphere. How much is the height, how much is the width, and how much is the reserve price. Isn't it also very attractive to have such an introduction accompanied by pictures and compiled into a book? Of course, this will definitely cost more money, but it will also attract more people. When there are more people, the price will naturally go up. Actually, this is also a good business. If someone is willing to continue this business for a long time, the natural cost can be reduced. For example, we have porcelain, calligraphy and painting that we can't use, and we can't sell it in a porcelain shop or a calligraphy and painting shop, but we can't sell it at a price, and it's troublesome. It is better to hand it over to the auction house, and the auction house will sell it, and after the transaction is completed, the auction house will receive a commission. Also, sometimes we want to buy some precious jade and the like, but we can't find it, if there is a regular auction, we read the brochure sent to us, and if we are interested, we go to buy it, isn't it convenient? It's a pity that I don't have this kind of manpower in my hands for the time being, otherwise I will definitely be very profitable. You can do it for a long time in the future. ”
Chen Wenhui's auction houses in his previous life, I don't know how hot the business was.
Princess Lichuan listened and was very interested.
