Chapter 249: The Auction Begins

The Sun Mansion in the past two days is destined not to be peaceful, so it is easy to persuade Wei Zheng to go to the inn to stay, and Uncle Wei has come to the door again, he does not have the discipline of Wei Zheng, and he is talking about interests.

"There must be a field in Zhengming's hands that is not included in the auction! My Guanzhong Wei's strength is not weak, how much manpower and material resources do you need, just say. ”

Obviously he opened his mouth to ask for land, but Uncle Wei said it harmoniously, but it seemed that he was here to do Sun Xiangfu a big favor, which made Sun Xiangfu dumbfounded.

"That, it's not that I don't want to accept the help of the Wei family, it's just that there is really no one kind of land at present, if you forcibly go to a farther place, you can indeed get some fields out, but the follow-up infrastructure construction can't keep up, and planting those fields is estimated to outweigh the losses." Moreover, I don't mind that you, like them, go to the outside of the border to grab the land, why do we have to farm, when we have a more profitable business. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly answered, "Oh, what business does Zhengming have to do?" ”

"Of course it's our old business, coal, don't you know, there is less than an area three hundred miles west of Shanyang, and there is ······ more coal."

"You said it, this coal is our old business in Guanzhong, and this business must be cooperating with my Wei family! How many people do you want, how large you want it, you say, the old man specifies that it will be done according to your requirements. ”

Uncle Wei listened to Sun Xiangfu talk about coal, and suddenly became impatient, this thing helped his Wei family make a lot of profits last winter, and now most families in Chang'an City are used to using honeycomb coal, and his Wei family's financial resources have long been stabilized.

"At least 5,000 people, the profit of you and me is fifty-fifty, in addition, I need you to unite some small and medium-sized families in Guanzhong to do me a favor at the auction······"

Sun Xiangfu whispered in Uncle Wei's ear for a while, and Uncle Wei nodded with a smile and left, his trip to Sun's Mansion was not in vain, and it was considered to have opened up a source of wealth for the Wei family.

In fact, even if Uncle Wei doesn't come to him, he will go to Uncle Wei, because, the people who need to use coal outside the customs may reach hundreds of thousands of households next year, and he doesn't have the manpower to complete such a large amount of coal development now, and it is inevitable to introduce powerful partners.

In this kind of busy communication, the day of the Ninth Double Ninth Festival in early September finally arrived, and in the theater venue that had been arranged early in the morning, a huge map was hung, and Sun Xiangfu came to the backstage with Wei Zheng and a team of imperial historians of the imperial court early in the morning, because there were other arrangements, and Wei Shuhuan was not among them.

While waiting for the people participating in the auction to enter, they also reached a consensus on the rules of the auction, which were basically the same as the bidding rules of later generations, and all the trading rules were printed as nuogan and distributed on each auction table, and at the beginning of the auction, Wei Zheng, on behalf of the imperial court, read out the rules.

All kinds of luxurious carriages drove from the inns in the city or private mansions to the theater venue, and their expressions were different, like Wang Rui's father and son, who else could they be.

is like Cui Hong, Lu Heng and others, whose faces are as heavy as water.

There are also people like Wei Shuhuan who are so proud, after he negotiated with Sun Xiangfu yesterday, he went to the flower building next to the Sanggan River in the city to invite the heads of the major families in Guanzhong to have a good time.

Not long after, the people who had obtained the qualifications for the auction entered the venue one after another, and at this time, the steward in charge of the cabinet shop came to Sun Xiangfu and whispered for a while, and saw a smile hooked up on the corner of Sun Xiangfu's mouth.

As of today, the total amount of money saved by the major families in the cabinet has reached more than 20 million, which is all cash! These century-old families, thousand-year-old families, after generations of reserves, the family's money is really enough, and Sun Xiangfu doesn't want them to take it back.

"Lord Wei, it's almost time, let's go out!"

As a representative of the government, Sun Xiangfu and these supervising imperial historians naturally have a rostrum on the stage to sit on, and the first time he stepped on the stage, facing the scene of thousands of people, Wei Zheng was already a little uncomfortable, a long auction rules ended under his reading, and I don't know if the people below understood it, but the family members who have read the book can read the book on the seat to know the rules, and on the Hu people's side, Sun Xiangfu deliberately arranged someone to help them explain.

After Wei Zheng left the stage, of course, it was Sun Xiangfu's turn to take the stage, and at this time, a glass mirror covered by a red cloth was moved to a counter in the center of the stage under the move of the two maids.

"You may not be able to fully understand the rules that Lord Wei just read out, then, before the land auction, let's conduct a test auction of the goods, so that everyone can understand the rules of the auction through the specific auction process, of course, this commodity will also be obtained by the person with the highest final bid, then, below, I will show you this treasure."

As he spoke, Sun Xiangfu stretched out his hand, and the two maids had already followed his gesture to open the silk covering the mirror, and suddenly, the shining mirror appeared in front of everyone.

"This thing, is to be able to people or things to shine a mirror of the millimeter, its raw materials, is a natural pure transparent crystal, after extremely difficult process carving and polishing, with a secret recipe, lasted more than a year, before it was made, the earliest made side, now in the palace, is the queen mother's dressing mirror, we know, pure transparent crystal is difficult to find, more expensive than the best jade, not to mention such a large transparent crystal ore, so, don't look at him to test shooting, its value is not expensive, for now, There are few such valuable things in the whole world. ”

Then, Sun Xiangfu didn't talk about the auction price, but just gave the two maids who carried the mirror a look, and they took elegant steps to carry the round mirror that was almost half a square meter, and walked towards the position of the auction seat.

And as they moved, the entire auction hall suddenly resounded with one exclamation after another.

Many of the powerful people of the family have long known about the mirror that appeared more than a year ago, after all, this thing has a side in the palace, and there are naturally some rumors in the circle of the magnates, and more people are a few days ago, after Sun Xiangfu put the mirror in the Wangjianglou branch, they have seen it in Wangjianglou, however, in the ancient era of this kind of information dissemination, there are more people who don't know about this thing, after all, Sun Xiangfu did not promote this thing in the newspaper, yes, many people who came from other places saw the mirror for the first time, and they wanted to have it very much.

"This mirror is really magical, such a large crystal mine, even if my Zhang family's Treasure Pavilion has been in business for hundreds of years, I have never received it, it is really rare in the world······

"Yes! Oh, yes! Not only that, but the process of turning transparent crystal into this mirror is very rare, otherwise, the emperor will definitely make a few more pieces and give them to the concubines, but he doesn't want Sun Zhengming to take this thing out for auction, if my Ma family gets this treasure, no matter how high the price is, I won't ······sell it."

"It's him, I can't get an acre of land after eating this time, my Xie family also wants to get this treasure mirror, with it, my Xie family will definitely be able to operate a high-ranking official······"

When some of the old family patriarchs saw the mirror, although they were surprised, they could still remain calm, but those younger family members could not bear the temptation of this treasure, and at the same time, they also held the bidding number plate in their hands, according to the rules, once the auction began, they all had the opportunity to bid and buy this mirror.

After the whole show was completed, the mirror returned to the stage, at this time, Sun Xiangfu spoke again, "Everyone has seen the mirror, it is so magical, so magical that everyone wants to have it, but the treasures are scarce, so only the highest price can be obtained, now, I announce that the starting price of this mirror is, 1,000 guan, every time you raise the card, the default is a 100 guan, everyone starts bidding." ”

"Boom..."

At the scene, nearly a thousand bidding cards were raised by everyone, and the family that can have ideas about the land outside the gate, the value of that one will not be less than tens of thousands, and even Dongzhu, who didn't bring any money to Shanyang, also raised his own brand, although this mirror has been used many times in Sun's mansion, but it is borrowed from Yu Xiuer, she herself, she also wants to have one, and she promised Sun Xiangfu that she will raise her cards more than ten times for all the items auctioned, so that Sun Xiangfu agreed with Yu Xiuer to teach her to sing.

"One thousand and one hundred times."

"Twelve hundred."

"1,300 ······"

"Eleven Thousand Two Hundred ······"

When the price rose to 10,000 yuan, many people with poor strength began to withdraw their bidding auctions, however, there were still hundreds of signs held high.

"Twenty-three thousand."

"Twenty-eight thousand."

"Thirty thousand."

Sun Xiangfu now regrets that he set the starting price at the bottom, shouting to thirty times the starting price, and there are still dozens of auctions to hold. If this continues, today's auction will not be over for a while.

"Fifty thousand."

"Sixty-eight thousand."

"Seventy-five thousand."

"Eighty thousand."

When this number was called, the imperial histories on the imperial history table, including Wei Zheng's mouth, were twitching, these families are really rich, 80,000 yuan, basically all the belongings of a third-rate small family, to this extent, there are still so many people holding cards.

Of course, they are not the only ones who are surprised, like Cui Hong, Lu Heng and other family patriarchs, now they have understood the power of this auction, the low starting price does not mean that the final transaction price is also low, just like this mirror, due to the large number of people holding signs, Sun Xiangfu can keep shouting to the top, to what extent can it be in the end, who knows?

They now regret that they have made their relationship so stiff with several other companies in the past few days, and if these families fight to the death, they may end up spending a lot of unjust money.

Several old foxes gestured to each other with their eyes, and then exchanged seats with the children and nephews around them, gathered together, Sun Xiangfu on the stage saw this scene early, he didn't think that some small tricks could make the close relationship between the seven sects and the five surnames collapse all of a sudden, however, even if they discuss it temporarily, it is useless, auctioning this thing, in fact, you can find a trust to pit people, and Sun Xiangfu is looking for a trust, and he has identity and financial resources.
