Chapter 143: The Auction
"Since I don't dare to ask for it, then I will ask for it all, fifty tons is only, and it is only a million gold coins, we can afford it, haha, no one should rob me." With a sideways face, he looked more like a bandit than a businessman, but he was still a businessman, and for a while no one even consulted him, and everyone looked at him.
Saying that, they are going to sit down, their purpose this time is food, the wild and bitter cold land, the grain production is scarce, plus the orcs have a huge amount of food, fortunately, there is a way of nature in the heavens, huge alien beasts abound in the wilderness, hunting a head can usually meet the consumption of a tribe for several months, but the alien beasts are also difficult to capture, and every time they have to pay great casualties to capture, so buying food has become the most important thing for the beast merchants, even salt. Iron. Weapons and so on have to be put on the back burner.
"Wait, who said you orcs could afford it? Can't we sea people afford it? I paid 1.1 million to buy it. The merchant of the Sea Clan held up the sign at this time, and his tone was so loud that he wanted to buy all the five hundred tons in one go.
"Two, I don't think you heard clearly, I said a 100-ton starting auction, and I don't accept a one-time monopoly, if you guys are making trouble, I can only ask the two of you to go out." Ziggy said without being arrogant or humble on it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Field appeared on the platform above with a team of men and horses, and the half-elf archers were even more arrow-stringing, and whoever dared to move immediately shot them.
The leaders of the two caravans calmed down at this time, and then they were in a stalemate, and no one dared to rob the people of the two caravans, after all, they were merchants of two races, and they were both wealthy and powerful lords, but it was not the leaders of these small characters who dared to provoke, it was best not to know what agreement the two clans had reached, and the siblings obtained three batches of food, and the sea tribe obtained two batches.
Ziggy didn't care about their private agreement. Anyway, as long as you make money, I just don't know if it's to disgust the people of the Sea Clan, the next auction item turned out to be snow salt, and as soon as the thing came out, the merchant of the Sea Clan was immediately furious, slapped the table and stood up and said, "You are so bold." Not only did they dare to steal the sea salt of our sea clan, but they also openly sold it, and in front of our sea clan merchants, it was clear that they would not take our sea clan seriously, and either immediately withdraw all the sea salt and return it to me for disposal, or just wait for our sea clan army to swim against the current. ”
Ziggy didn't pay attention to his words, but said to the people below: "If you want to shoot quickly, this time it's Yanyin, it's this small brand." Only those who get the salt can get the right to sell the salt, only one general dealer in a region, and the following traders are up to you, how much salt you need, you only need to hold a number, this merchant from the sea tribe, what do you want? Do you sell salt to the sea? ”
The last sentence made everyone laugh. The Sea Clan merchant looked behind angrily, and everyone kept their mouths shut. Only the orc merchant was still laughing, and it meant that he was laughing louder and louder.
"Don't the Orcs want to do business with us? You must know that you beasts transport food by sea every year, otherwise you would have starved to death and offended me, I see how you will pass in the future. ”
The Sea Clan merchant threatened with compassion, but the Orc merchant was not threatened by him and said, "Don't talk nonsense with me." If you can do it, don't think that you can threaten me by giving you some face, if it weren't for my beast clan defending the abyss, you sea tribes and humans would have a good life? You can try! It's a big deal! It is said that since there can be 500 tons of grain here. Then there could be more, you say? ”
The latter words were addressed to Ziggy, who naturally replied: "Of course, there is as much grain as you want, and the same goes for salt." ”
"If you dare to threaten my guest, someone will throw him out of me." Qi Ge ordered to come down, and then two strong men came out, one of them pinched the person out, and the sea clan merchant could only struggle helplessly, and was finally thrown out.
"Hmph, wait, Lao Tzu must let the Sea Clan army set foot here." The Sea Clan merchant patted the ashes on his body hatefully, and then returned to the inn.
"Haha, good! I guess that no one will fight with me for the wild salt, and I will ask for as many as I want! ”
The orc merchant's big package made many people's faces not look good, they also had caravans walking in the wilderness, in this way, their interests would be affected to some extent, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
"Salt doesn't need money, it's just a qualification, which requires you to prove your assets and strength, and when the time comes to take salt, you tell me that you don't have the money to pay for the goods, then it's funny."
After the businessmen listened to Ziggy's words, their minds were alive again, if they went back to bankrupt their homes, they could still get a lot of money to pay, if they succeeded, they could become a big businessman, and after winning the salt introduction, they had the qualifications to sell their subordinate district agents, although it was a new concept, but with the business sense of the merchants, they quickly saw the benefits from it, and it was a huge monopoly interest, and the regional agent also meant that no one competed with themselves in the area they represented. Don't make too much money!
Soon the orc merchant got the general agent of the wilderness, and then someone got the salt one after another, a salt lead million gold coins, which is sold at the public price, no need to auction, as long as you can take it out at one time to get this qualification, and the future salt will only be sold to you, and the rest you can operate by yourself, if anyone is in the same place with you, he can't get a grain of salt.
Everyone was happy, of course, if they didn't get it, they could only watch others rejoice, and then secretly comforted themselves in their hearts and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here to buy spices and perfumes, calm and calm." ”
"Next! Ladies and gentlemen, the sale of perfumes and spices is the same as that of snow salt, the sale of the right to operate, and the next auction is the right to operate the soap, and the starting price is. ”
"Wait a minute! It's not fair! A businessman finally couldn't help but stand up and say.
"Tell me? Why do you think it's unfair? Ziggy didn't speak, and Li Youran stood up and asked.
Zig stepped aside and stood behind Li Youran, who asked the people below.
"If we still sell low-cost management rights like this, we have no hope at all for such a bargain, and the resources brought by these big businessmen can defeat us all."
"And what do you think should be?" Li Youran asked rhetorically.
"I don't know, but it's against fair and equitable business principles." The merchant apparently didn't have any good ideas, and could only say a few words.
"Hahaha, what fairness and justice! The businessman is talking about interests, who can give more benefits to the baron, he can naturally get these resources, he can naturally buy things if he has money, and he still wants to make money if he has no money? Let's save a few years of capital first, and then talk about it, and the small traders don't come out to mess around, anyway, it's not your share! A fellow who looked like a big merchant stood up and spoke, and said contemptuously to the little merchant, and almost told him to get out.
The little businessman sat down with a blushing face, it was absolutely impossible to be humiliated as a person, and he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
"Since this gentleman thinks it's unfair, I have a solution! I don't know if you want to do it? Li Youran didn't just forget it, since some people think it's unfair, then it must be done to make everyone feel fair.
"What's the solution?" The businessman who just sat down really didn't expect that he just complained and said, but people really have a solution!
Look at the big businessmen who satirize themselves, and look at the nobles who have come up with a solution, no wonder they are aristocrats.
The big businessman is a little unhappy, he has a lot of capital and can hurt people, but if someone really comes up with a way, then his advantage will not be obvious.
"The solution is very simple, I will give each of you a note, you write your own conditions on the paper and the exclusive area you need, and then no one knows what is written in it, pay attention to what can be taken after the fact, I will take the most valuable person in my opinion, and then wouldn't it be fair in this way!"
"Good! Sure enough, it's a good way! Now you can go home and get the funds together, come on, I'll get out today. "You can get it afterwards, that is to say, you have enough time to prepare, so what's so terrible, as long as you get the exclusive right to operate perfumes, the money is not rolling in?
The big wealthy businessman was contemptuous: "I see, in the final analysis, it depends on whose family is rich, I don't believe it, they can still go bankrupt?" Even if you are bankrupt, you may not have as much as me! Hahahaha. ”
Everyone was given a blank piece of paper and a ballpoint pen, everyone was not very comfortable, but after using it, they felt the benefits of this washi paper, and after filling it in, someone had quietly put the pen into their pockets, and Li Youran didn't care, anyway, they couldn't make it.
After putting the note away, Li Youran said: "Now I will go back and look at them one by one, compare everyone's conditions, and a day later I will announce that those people have obtained the right to operate, thank you, today's auction is over." ”
After Li Youran finished speaking, he took the people away, and the merchants also dispersed, and there were smart ones who were already inquiring about the preferences of the baron, and those who were favored, and they planned to bribe, anyway, this set would work there.
Others see that many of the things here are not in the auction ranks, and they may be able to start from this, and the benefits they get are also very rich.
"Master, congratulations master, this time we have made a lot of money!" As soon as Zig came out, he exclaimed, just now he secretly calculated to himself, just today alone, there is more than four million gold coins in income, although it is an auction, but it is also very valuable.
