Chapter Eighty-Eight: People are stupid and have a lot of money

"Five hundred and ten thousand taels!"

"Five hundred and twenty thousand taels!"

"Five hundred and thirty thousand taels!"

……

After 500,000 taels, a group of silk merchants who participated in the auction began to be cautious, and no one dared to shout indiscriminately.

After 500,000 taels, the auction price has reached the limit, and if it is like before, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses in the end.

Whether it was Sun Dingwu, who presided over the auction, or the merchants under the court, they all knew in their hearts that the auction price of silk was only 600,000 taels at most.

If this number is exceeded, the merchant is afraid that in the end, he will lose all his money.

But at critical moments, there are always some people who are considered stupid and have a lot of money.

Today is no exception!

"One million taels!" In an inconspicuous corner, a young man in his twenties, dressed in white, suddenly shouted.

When he landed on the field, he spoke loudly.

Yes, it was just the sound of everyone gasping for air.

"Who is this man? Isn't it stupid? Although it is indeed rare to become an imperial businessman, there is no need to spend so much money? ”

Most people didn't know the young man in the corner, and they were pointing fingers at him.

There were also people who knew the young man, and explained to the person next to him: "This person is Xie Wuliang, the young owner of Jiang Ning Taihe Firm. He has a very good set of business, and he started from scratch at a young age and earned a big family business.

He dared to pay such a high price, it must not be for nothing, thinking about it, there must be a deep meaning in it. ”

Hearing this explanation, everyone was still a little puzzled, after all, the qualifications of the imperial merchant could not be guaranteed for a lifetime.

Maybe at some point, it will be taken back again.

"That's a million taels! How long does it take to pay for itself? ”

Regarding everyone's discussions, Xie Wuhao didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't think it was a pestle at all, and he always had a calm smile on his face.

Assertive!

From Xie Wuliang's eyes, Zhang Lingyang saw a sense of confidence.

Come to think of it, Xie Wuliang dared to pay such a high price, and he would definitely be able to recover the cost.

Not only does it recover the cost, but it is more likely that Xie Wuliang will make a lot of money because of it.

After all, no one is a fool to be able to enter today's auction.

But there are very few confident and calm people like Xie Wuliang present.

It can even be said that this self-confidence is unique among all the businesses present.

The merchants who know Xie Wuliang don't think that Xie Wuliang is crazy.

Because they have heard and seen too many legendary deeds about Xie Wuliang.

Especially the silk merchants who were also from Jiangnan, when they saw that Xie Wuliang dared to shout out the sky-high price of one million taels, they said that they were not moved, it was fake.

After all, Xie Wuliang dared to shout such a high price, and he would definitely be able to make enough benefits from it.

But they didn't know what Xie Wuconscience had in mind?

If they rashly follow the shooting, I am afraid that in the end, there is a chance that they will lose everything!

Therefore, these silk merchants are entangled in their hearts.

But in the end, no one shouted a higher price.

After all, the risks they take are multiplied compared to the immediate benefits.

There is even a possibility that you will lose all your money.

"General Sun, isn't it time to announce it?" The surrounding merchants were talking, but they couldn't guess what Xie Wuliang was thinking.

Sun Dingwu in the center was also stunned for a long time after hearing the sky-high price of one million taels, and he didn't come back to his senses until Xie Wuliang reminded him.

After settling down, Sun Dingwu shouted: "Everyone, this little friend is asking for one million taels, but is there a higher bid?" ”

"If not, the old man will announce it, and the old man will announce it!" Looking at the merchants around him, Sun Dingwu waited for a few more breaths, and when he saw that no one was shouting the price, Sun Dingwu said: "The old man announced that from now on, this little friend will officially become a royal silk supplier!" ”

As he spoke, Sun Dingwu picked up the hammer and struck the gong next to him.

In the private room on the second floor, Zhang Lingyang stared at Xie Wuliang downstairs for a long time before turning around and saying to Feng Xi behind: "You go and investigate the details of that young man!" ”

Although there was a lot of discussion in the hall downstairs, Zhang Lingyang didn't hear the discussion of the people in the audience, so he didn't know Xie Wuliang's name

"Yes!" Feng Xi replied and walked out of the private room.

After the time of a pillar of incense, Feng Xi walked in again and said in Zhang Lingyang's ear: "Long live Lord, the slave has already checked, the young man in white is named Xie Wuliang, he is the owner of Jiang Ning Taihe Firm, and he has earned millions of family assets from scratch. The slave also heard that this Xie Wuliang has a bad relationship with Uncle Guo! ”

"Uncle Guo?" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but be stunned, after all, now Da Zhou has two uncles.

One is Queen Wang's elder brother Wang Sirui, and the other is Zhang Lingyang's nominal uncle, Xu Ziji, the younger brother of Empress Dowager Xu.

Feng Xi saw Zhang Lingyang's face, and hurriedly explained: "It's Uncle Xu, didn't Uncle Xu take up the post of Jiangning prefect at the beginning?" It was at that time that this Xie Wuliang began to associate with Uncle Xu. ”

"I see!" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang suddenly realized.

After just a few questions, Zhang Lingyang no longer paid attention to this Xie Wuliang.

After all, in Zhang Lingyang's view, this Xie Wuliang is at most a business genius.

And although Zhang Lingyang needs a business genius to make money for himself, it is obvious that he also understands that a person like Xie Wuliang who has a promising career will not serve him wholeheartedly.

Besides, with Xie Wuliang's financial resources, he is far from being called a top businessman in Da Zhou.

After all, whether it is in modern society or in feudal dynasties, the top businessmen are engaged in finance.

There are so many ticket numbers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if you pull out one casually, I am afraid that the financial resources and income will far exceed Xie Wuliang.

It's just that these ticket numbers are usually inconspicuous and leaky, and they are very low-key.

Even Zhang Lingyang, the emperor, doesn't know how big the ticket numbers of the Great Zhou are?

But come to think of it, their financial resources must have reached an extremely staggering number.

Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but think about it, and the auction below had entered a white-hot level.

With the sale of silk qualifications, the remaining qualifications such as porcelain, tea, calligraphy and painting are also highlights.

It can be different from the dramatic results at the end of the silk qualification auction.

The qualifications of the remaining suppliers seemed to be a bit decent, and they were all sold at a price of more than 600,000 taels of silver.

Even so, the final auction result was an astronomical amount.

After counting the statistics, Xiao Fuzi came to Zhang Lingyang with the final results and replied: "Long live the lord, the results of today's auction have come out." ”

"Oh? How much silver was auctioned? Zhang Lingyang asked.

"Back to Long Live Lord, a total of 8,130,000 taels of silver were sold." Xiaofuzi replied.

Hearing this number, Zhang Lingyang nodded with satisfaction, and praised Xiaofuzi: "You did a good job in this auction!" ”

"To do things for the Long Live Lord, how dare a slave not do his best?" Although Xiao Fuzi said that he was loyal, his face was full of smiles......
