Chapter 49: The Emperor is going to be rich
The auction went smoothly, and under Wang Jian's clever encouragement, the first eighteen seats were soon auctioned off.
Wang Jian's face bloomed with joy, and he sold nearly one million taels of silver in one night, and the speed of the money caught up with the printing of money.
And the fiercest competition is the two seats closest to the emperor, that is, Tianzi No. 1 and Tianzi No. 2.
Qian San of Jinan Dongcheng Grain Store took the lead in bidding: "100,000, I will pay 100,000!" β
He was waiting for this opportunity, his family was the largest landlord within a hundred miles of Jinan City, and the most important thing he lacked was money, so he was not interested in the seats auctioned in front of him, what he wanted was a plaque. He was also the one who wanted to buy a seat from Lao Liang that day, but later the news spread in Jinan City, and he didn't look for Lao Liang again.
Wang Jian said excitedly: "Squire Qian paid 100,000 taels, is there anything higher?!" β
"I'll give 110,000!" Another small landowner also shouted.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"150,000, 150,000, is there anything higher?!"
Wang Qianqian stood by and watched the numbers in these populations rise suddenly, as if those numbers represented not silver at all, but a number game.
She opened her mouth in surprise and muttered, "Crazy, they're all crazy." β
Over the years, there have not been more unexpected things than today, where would she have thought that Wang Jian simply sold a meal and two plaques, and actually sold them at a sky-high price at once!
You must know that Dolgon suffered numerous casualties in the attack on Jinan City, and he only robbed more than 300,000 taels of silver. And Wang Jian first sold the tickets for the auction, and then sold the seats for the Haitian feast, and earned more than one million taels at once.
At this moment, Wang Qianqian felt that he knew nothing about the merchant world, and his previous shallow business cognition was subverted by Wang Jian at this moment.
After several rounds of fierce competition, the final seats, which are also the two closest to the emperor, were purchased by Qian San of the grain shop and Liang Si of the money village at a sky-high price of 300,000 and 400,000 yuan.
Liang Si handed over the silver and drew the pledge. He carefully took the seat number in his hand, with four big characters written on it: "Tianzi No. 1", he couldn't help but sigh: "With it, there is a talisman, this is the emperor's imperial pen, more effective than any door god!" The door god can only block the little ghost, but the one in my hand can block the cool official, which can't be bought with money! β
He turned his head to look at Wang Jian and said, "I heard that this idea was given to the saint by Lord Wang?" β
At the beginning, Zheng Yuqiao listened to what the emperor said about holding a sea and sky feast, and tried his best to admonish him in order to damage the royal prestige, and finally the emperor had to move out of his other identity - Jinyiwei commanded Wang Jian to come out, saying that Wang Jian taught him to do this.
Zheng Yuqiao listened to Wang Jian's introduction to the auction, he was somewhat resistant, and complained about how Wang Jian could teach the rich emperor to collect money. In the end, Zheng Yuqiao naturally can't say that the current saint is greedy for money, and he planned all this just to collect the people's fat and anointment. He was also happy to follow the emperor's instructions and detain this money-greedy basin to the body of Wang Jian, the incarnation of the emperor, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
And Wang Jian also felt that his identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard was very suitable for taking the blame.
Wang Jian nodded proudly, Liang Si also knew that the idea of collecting money was made by Wang Jian through the inside line of the governor's family, he nodded approvingly, he admired Wang Jian's talent very much, and said: "Lord Wang is a good method, he is really young and promising." Dare to ask Lord Wang, have you ever married a wife? β
Wang Qianqian didn't seem to care, and quietly pricked up his little ears to know Wang Jian's answer.
Look at his posture, isn't he trying to find me a wife? Wang Jian thought to herself.
Wang Jian shook his head shyly, he wasn't lying. Qi'er and Yao'er are both born as maids, and Ma Concubine's is only a side room.
Liang Si's eyes lit up, and he said, "The old man has a granddaughter, or is Yunying unmarried, I don't know if Lord Wang can be married?" A hundred years later, all the old man's family property will belong to you! β
This Liang Si has a son, and this son also gave birth to a daughter to him, this family business is considered to have no successor, so he has always wanted to find a young man with business talent to join their family, inherit his family's foundation, and today finally has an ideal heir:
He took a fancy to Wang Jian.
Wang Qianqian was speechless on the side, this old man deserves to be the biggest businessman in Jinan City, his eyes are really poisonous, he is also the first person in the past, and he actually wants to let the emperor into the fold!
Wang Jian smiled speechlessly, he originally thought that he would introduce a peerless beauty or something, but it turned out to be Liang Si's granddaughter, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
The four of Liang are shriveled and lean, and the granddaughter who must have been born is the same, where can they see it? Just the short and fat figure did not meet Wang Jian's aesthetic requirements, and he refused: "Thank you for the old man's love, now the world is in chaos, the people are displaced, and I am afraid that business is not easy to do." Besides, I have no intention of doing business, I am only determined to pursue a career and want to share the worries of the emperor and seek some well-being for the people. β
Wang Jian obviously disliked Liang Si's appearance, but he was not ambiguous at all when he spoke of clichΓ©s, the key is that Wang Qianqian next to him really thought that what he said about "working for the well-being of the people" was true, and he forgot his previous helpless behavior.
When Liang Si heard this, he thought that Wang Jian also looked down on businessmen, how did he know that Wang Jian disliked his appearance, he said to himself: "Hey, since ancient times, businessmen have been lowly, and it is the old man who has climbed high, but Lord Wang does not spend a single soldier, but he has made up tens of thousands of silver for the emperor. β
Wang Jian was praised by the richest businessman in Jinan, he was very proud, and wanted to show off in front of Wang Qianqian, he pretended to be mature, and said lightly: "When it comes to making money, there are two kinds of this." β
Liang Si was curious: "Oh? Which two? β
"Stupidity and cleverness, two ways to make money."
"How's stupidity? And how smart? β
"The foolish earn men's money, and the wise earn men's money."
Wang Qianqian heard what he said, and asked curiously: "Isn't it all about making money, what's the difference?" β
Wang Jian pretended to be a veteran business master, and said: "That's very different, just like a thief, a rogue, or even as strong as he Dolgon, all belong to the first type of non-entry, that is, to earn people's money, this method is relatively simple, because your object is a person, as long as you are ruthless enough, poisonous enough, and people are afraid of you, you can collect protection money, and others will obediently give you their own money." β
The two of them also felt justified when they heard this, and they both nodded.
"What about the second one? What is the more intelligent one? β
Wang Jian paused for a moment and continued to taunt: "The first one has no technical means, it belongs to the kind that does not enter the stream, and the second one is much more difficult, because your object is money, and the money itself is dead, and it is useless for you to scare people by scaring people, you have to find a way to make money automatically run into your pocket, and the money that can make money is a more clever way to make money." β
Liang Siyi heard it as if he had been empowered, and he sighed: "The young man can have such knowledge, the old man has been taught!" "He is not like a bandit, a robber, he did not take it by force, every penny was earned by his own hard work, he earned money with his flat body, and he naturally felt more profound.
Wang Qianqian also looked at Wang Jian with a different face, and only felt that he was the only person in the world who he couldn't understand.
Seeing the strange appearance of the talented woman who is called "Jinshu" by the world also makes Wang Jian even more proud. In fact, where did Wang Qianqian know that these theories were also learned by Wang Jian from watching the business war dramas of later generations, and he used them to scare the ancients by deliberately playing nonsense.
