Chapter 245: It's Good to Be Rich

Four hundred and twenty times, Xu Qilin was still quite satisfied, smiled faintly, grabbed the snack next to him, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

The auction continued, and there was no temptation to be the first; amp; Confused, the degree of competition is weaker. But everyone also knows that the price is down by 100 percent at most, and the so-called floor price is simply not true.

The second mirror was finally sold for 360 guan, the third side was also about the same price, and the next one was also unfazed, and the lowest was also 300 guan.

Xu Qilin lowered his eyes, pondered, and decided to set the price of the small mirror at two hundred and eighty. The number of many auspicious people, not nine hundred and ninety-eight, two hundred and eight can be taken home.

According to today's auction price, if you buy 280 guan, it will be at least 20 guan, or even more.

Moreover, Xu Qilin feels that this price is also very fair. The point is that there is no market for a price, and it is not so easy for you to buy.

It's like a perfume, the price is marked, but can you buy it?

In addition to the royal fixed offering, there are many related households to book privately, and there are very few that are actually sold in the market.

Even now that production has been expanded, demand is still in short supply. Coupled with the purchase restrictions, merchants can only get a small amount if they want to resell.

In this way, the fragrance that can be sold in Yangzhou, Guangzhou and other places has been fried to a price nearly twice that of Chang'an.

And Xu Qilin wants this effect, he keeps secretly hoarding perfume, that is, to ship it to other places and sell it at a high price.

Always maintain the tight phenomenon of out of stock in the market, the price will naturally remain high, and if you want to make a lot of money, you don't necessarily have to expand production capacity and produce more.

After a little rest, I made so much money, and there was no shortage of tea and snacks. Although for those who can afford mirrors, no one lacks this bit of food and drink.

In addition to eating and drinking, there is also a song and dance. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, but soon it became clear that the lamp in the dancer's hand was extraordinary.

"Is it a glass lamp?"

"It looks like crystal."

"It's worth a lot of money, and if you show it at auction, maybe it means something else."

"Is it also something to be auctioned, but I didn't notify it in advance."

In the midst of the discussion, the singing and dancing ended, but a few glass lamps were left and placed on the table.

Tang Yiyi came to the stage again, but she changed her clothes, the style was a little weird, but it made her more beautiful.

Smiling, Tang Yiyi stretched out his hand and introduced to everyone: "This is a crystal lamp made by Dayingku, which is both light and windproof. If you want to take a closer look, you can display it in the exhibition hall tomorrow. ”

"That's right, it's a crystal lamp." Someone is triumphant and proud of what he has seen.

"Sure enough, it's an item to be sold, and it's made by Da Yingku, I don't know how much it costs?"

"When I go to the exhibition hall tomorrow to take a closer look, this object is like a mirror, and it will be auctioned publicly." Someone stroked his beard and acted as Zhiduoxing, "The Shangyuan Festival is approaching, and it is a good time to sell lamps." ”

Tang Yiyi stretched out his hand to signal, and the staff took out the auction item, a dressing mirror with gold rim, and everyone's eyes immediately widened, ready to bid.

"This is a vanity mirror, with the mark 'Yingzhi No. 1' on the back." Tang Yiyi solemnly introduced: "In addition to the royal offering, this is the first treasure mirror to be sold publicly. ”

After a pause, she smiled and said, "Who doesn't want the lady of the family to be dressed up beautifully and have a beautiful face; Who wouldn't want to see a tiny mirror image in detail? ”

Turning the base of the mirror, Tang Yiyi let everyone appreciate it again before he spoke: "The reserve price of this auction item is 2,000 yuan, and the minimum price increase is 200 yuan each time." Now – the auction begins. ”

The palm-sized small mirror has been shot three or four hundred times, not to mention that the big one is ten times the size of the small, and everyone also knows that the bigger it is, the more difficult it is to make, and they have prepared for the reserve price in their hearts.

Moreover, the mirror has been displayed for such a long time, and the price has been roughly estimated. And Xu Qilin's reserve price is also based on a certain basis, not blind.

After a moment of silence, someone raised a sign and shouted: "Two thousand five hundred." ”

Someone took the lead, and everyone knew that it was unrealistic to buy at the reserve price, and if you wanted to get it, you had to bid for it!

"Three thousand!" The voice of the sign quotation is a bit weird, it should be a Hu businessman.

"Three thousand two hundred!"

"Three thousand five hundred!"

"Four thousand!" Hearing this accent, everyone looked at each other a little, and NCB also intended to bid, but I don't know how I got the news.

The Hu merchants were rich, and the Nanshang was better than the Hu merchants, and the Nanshang who was involved in the sea trade was even richer. History: There are a lot of big commercial assets and huge thousands.

Xu Qilin smiled happily in the box, four thousand guan was already the ideal number he estimated. But looking at this posture, the bidding is not over yet.

After 4,500 times, there were only a few bidders, and only two people were left; Five thousand, there was silence in the venue, and no one was bidding.

"Twenty-sixth, five thousand times once, five thousand times twice, five thousand times three times." Tang Yiyi waved the hammer and fell, "Deal." ”

Coaxing, the crowd let out a cry of exclamation.

Xu Qilin touched his chin and smiled heartily. Yes, it exceeded his expectations, and the patent income made him five hundred.

A gentle knock on the door sounded, and a subordinate pushed the door and reported: "Xu Cheng, Zhao of the Hejian County Wangfu asks to see you." ”

Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment and said, "Please let him in." ”

Zhao Senjun entered the box, and after seeing Xu Qilin, he said with a smile: "The king of the county is also very fond of the treasure mirror, and the exquisite mirror has been auctioned before, and several sides have been purchased; Now that the auction price of this vanity mirror is so high, the money it carries is a little insufficientβ€”"

Xu Qilin nodded and said with a smile: "The king of the county is also an anxious son, why bother bidding with others at the auction!" When the auction is over, when the price is clearly marked, it will definitely be lower than now, wouldn't it be better to buy it at that time? ”

Zhao Senjun smiled bitterly and said, "The envoy assigned to the subordinate must be done well." If it is delayed, I am afraid that the king of the county will not be pleased. ”

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "That's it." When the auction is over, the price of the treasure mirror can almost be set. There is also a freshly made side in the big Ying Curry, and it will be sold to the king of the county at this price, what do you think? ”

Zhao Senjun hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, "Thank you Xu Chengcheng." At the county king's place, the lower officials will definitely state it. ”

Xu Qilin smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "Zhao Senjun, please take a seat, and when the auction is over, I will go to Daying Treasury to pick up the goods." ”

Zhao Senjun saluted again before sitting down respectfully.

The auction continues, selling one by one, with prices around 4,000 yuan. This is also the estimate of the merchants, selling it back, there will be at least 20% of the profit.

Do you think, how much do you have to transport silk, grain, or other goods to earn these hundreds of dollars?

And a treasure mirror that can be carried with you, when you get it to Yangzhou and Guangzhou, the sensational effect is no less than now. It's not too difficult to sell 5,000 or even more.

Nanshang thought so, while Hu Shang wanted to take the Silk Road and sell the treasure mirror to Persia, Tianzhu and other places, making a more profitable profit.

But whether it is NCB or Hu Shang, in fact, there is a worry, that is, the supply of goods.

Auctions certainly raise prices, but there is always a chance to buy. But after the price is clearly marked, the mirror must be cheaper, but it is not in vain that you can't buy it.

If you want to go the way, who can compare to the powerful and high-ranking officials in Chang'an? However, in this auction, everyone has more money than money, and it seems fair.

Xu Qilin is actually thinking about this question, is it only to meet personal needs, or is it also to give businessmen the opportunity to make a fortune? How to maintain the production of mirrors, and what is the number of mirrors that are brought to the market, so that the price can be kept basically the same?

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Qilin decided to adopt a strategy of multiple channels in parallel. It has been said to the outside that the output is twenty sides, so all of them will be sold by auction; Those who clearly marked the price were mostly powerful and high-ranking officials who supplied Chang'an.

If there is still a surplus of mirrors manufactured, they will be handed over to the various branches of Dayingku for sale to help them increase their popularity and popularity.

As for the Lingnan Feng family, it is not impossible to supply a small amount, but the Feng family must sell it overseas, not at home.

At least the mirrors produced this year are estimated to meet the needs of the emperor's relatives and powerful officials in Chang'an City.

In fact, who is selling is not selling, as long as the price can be maintained and the profit is not cut too much, Xu Qilin doesn't care too much.

Even if it is Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, how much should he pay or how much. Unless, His Majesty Li Er speaks.

Look at the powerful and high-ranking officials in Chang'an City, which one is not living a luxurious life. also take Li Xiaogong as an example, but he is famous for his extravagant and bold temperament, and there are more than 100 singers and dancers in the back room.

Money is in the hands of these people, and they can only eat and enjoy themselves; But in the hands of Xu Qilin, he can do a lot of practical things, so that the people of Pingtou can get more benefits.

Thinking about it like this, Xu Qilin can handle it calmly again. Just use the mirror as a commodity, and the purpose of making money will not be over.

All five mirrors were auctioned off, and who knows which of them was a merchant in order to resell them to make money; Which one is powerful and rich, just to please the women in the family, or to show off the wealth and fill the faΓ§ade with this mirror.

Xu Qilin didn't get up right away, and calculated according to his own formula. The price of the vanity mirror is more appropriate, and as for the price of the secret speculation in the future, you can ignore it for now.

After calculating, he raised his head and said to Zhao Senjun: "The price can be determined, the dressing mirror is 3,800 yuan, and the exquisite mirror is 280 yuan." Of course, a certain will also play His Majesty, but the difference should not be very big. ”

Zhao Senjun nodded hurriedly and said, "I will buy it at this price, and the county king should not be dissatisfied." ”

"If there is a difference in price, there is no need to make up for the less, but if there is more, it will be refunded." Xu Qilin stood up and said, "So-and-so, I will send someone to go to Dayingku with Zhao to get the treasure mirror." ”

"Thank you, Xu Cheng." Zhao Senjun bowed and said, "Then the lower official will leave the money, three thousand eight hundred." Please rest assured that there will be no mistakes. ”

"With the reputation of the king of the county, a certain self is relieved." Xu Qilin nodded with a smile, called a subordinate, and instructed him to lead Zhao to join the army to Dayingku to take the mirror.

After sending Zhao to join the army, Xu Qilin sat down again, and waited for his subordinates to collect money and statistics, so that he could take accurate data and report to His Majesty Li Er.

………………

The Thousand Autumn Hall in the Imperial Palace.

"Thirty thousand up and down?!" His Majesty Li Er heard the report, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Although Weichen is only a rough calculation, the difference should be no more than three or five hundred." The guard who had been sent bowed and replied.

His Majesty Li Er groaned, and after a long time, he waved his hand and said, "I know, you can step back." ”

The guards retreated, and His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, showing a smile of relief.

is only 30,000 yuan, of course, it will not make His Majesty Li Er, who is rich all over the world, so happy that he can't find the north. But that's just a few mirrors, and it's just the beginning.

Outside, it is believed that the mirror is difficult to make, but His Majesty Li Er has already obtained the details revealed by Xu Qilin.

As the technology becomes more sophisticated, and as the craftsmen become more skilled, the production of mirrors will continue to increase. The amount of today's auction may be ten and a half days' production in the future, and it may even be so much in one day.

What's more, in addition to mirrors, there will be blown glass products one after another, which are also strange and expensive.

It can be said that Xu Qilin has opened a mountain of gold. At the beginning of mining, the output was small, but as time increased, it was common for gold to be made every day.

It is not an exaggeration at all, as long as the secrecy is done well, the glass industry will bring huge profits for hundreds or even hundreds of years.

With the military expenses for the eastern and western expeditions, the funds for moving the capital to Luoyang are not worried, and the policy of benefiting the people can also be promulgated and implemented.

Money is a good thing, His Majesty Li Er looks forward to the future, and has to admit that with money, his dream can be realized faster.

Secretary Ma looked at His Majesty's expression, knowing that he was in a happy mood, and he was also happy for Xu Qilin.

Judging from age, Xu Qilin should be a talent prepared by His Majesty for his children and grandchildren. Not only has the ability, but also has a relationship with the royal family, as long as you don't make big mistakes, the future is limitless!

Obviously, Xu Qilin's development direction is correct. Make more money, create a reputation for financial management, and don't mix messy things, which emperor likes this.

"Qi Lin also earns a lot of money!" For a long time, His Majesty Li Er laughed and teased.

With an income of 30,000 yuan, according to the patent share, Xu Qilin can get several thousand, which is more than a year's income. But His Majesty Li Er didn't care, the technology of the people, the big boss was given to the imperial court, can you still worry about that little money?

Ma Zhou knew that His Majesty was ridiculing, so he smiled and joked: "Thousands of them are in hand, and even Weichen is envious." But I also know that I don't have the ability to invent and create. ”

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "This kid was premeditated, what kind of patent law was done at the beginning, it was to prepare for the present!" If there were no patent law, the production method of these ingenious things would probably still be in his stomach! ”

Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Qi Lin once said to Weichen that it was his wish to count the money lying down. Now, no, that's it. ”

"This stinky boy has a lazy problem." His Majesty Li Er said: "If you don't give him some burden, you will hide from it." At a young age, he has made a lot of money, but he can't be unmotivated. ”

Ma Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "According to Weichen, Qi Lin still has a big plan, and Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much about him not seeking progress." ”
