There was a commotion in the crowd, all wanting to buy soap and mirrors, not wanting to be squeezed out of this feast of dividing wealth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The auction was undoubtedly the best and fairest method of the present time, and the group of merchants were looking for their partners, divided into clear waves according to their nationality.
If it weren't for the fact that the outside of the Chamber of Commerce was full of soldiers from the Duoyan Battalion, killing one less and one less, this group of merchants would have drawn their swords and fought against each other.
Guan Shanyue walked on the open-air auction table that had been set up a long time ago, and looked at the businessmen who were eager to try their hands in the audience, and felt proud in her heart, who made it look like a seller's market now.
He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile: "I declare in advance that the markets of the Ming Empire and the surrounding countries must be done by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Daning Mirror Factory and the Daily Chemical Factory also need to make money to maintain the factory, and they cannot be reduced to tools for you to make money." For other markets, we guarantee that the soaps and mirrors that appear on the market will be based on the auction price at that time. This time, the buyer will have the exclusive right to buy the soap for one year. If you agree with this rule, we will start the auction, if you don't agree, please leave. ”
This condition is really not harsh, although Daming Jiangnan is very rich, it can not be their traditional market, and there is no pity to give up.
The shrewd merchants in the courtyard shrugged their shoulders and stared at the soap and mirrors on the table with burning eyes, all silent, and none of them would leave.
"Very well, let's start the auction of soaps!" Guan Shanyue looked around with a smile and knocked on the table with a small mallet, "I don't need to bother to tell you about the magical effect of soap, I think everyone knows it, we have already blown the wind with you yesterday." If you take Europa and resell it to the royalty and nobles of Europa, they will probably exchange it for the same amount of gold. ”
The group of foreign businessmen in the courtyard exchanged heads and ears, going back and forth to Daming all the year round, and they could already communicate freely in Chinese.
"That's true, last time I resold a batch of Daming soap powder and sold it to our local nobles, and they exchanged it for three times as many silver coins."
"Well, this soap looks more advanced than that soap powder, this thing will cause a sensation among the nobles, after all, they don't have anything but the Gold and Silver Treasure Society, they must have made money!"
"Yes, I've heard that the spices added to this soap are all the finest fragrances used to make perfumes, and we will definitely make the right bid for a moment. In addition, soap can not only wash clothes but also take a bath, as long as it is used in a dirty place, it is simply a lot of money. ”
"Hehe, I'm determined to get it. Let me say, it's not soap at all, it's a neatly stacked gold brick, as long as you buy it, it's money! ”
…………
…………
Guan Shanyue listened to the whispers in the audience, and said secretly in her heart: "The cost of each piece of soap is only a few dozen yuan, you can discuss it, the more intense the discussion, the more money Lao Tzu will make in a while, haha!" ”
Feeling that the time was almost up, he tapped the table with a small mallet again, and said with a fake spring breeze on his face: "Everyone, please be quiet, now the auction begins!" Our shipment this time is 2,000 yuan, which is the limit of our production capacity, in other words, there will be no more soap on the market in the next two months. Remember, time is money! The starting price, a piece of soap is one tael of silver, and the minimum price increase is one tael, start! ”
The crowd was boiling, and two months was enough for them to get back to Europa.
"I'll give you two or two!"
"I'll give five taels!"
"I'll give six taels!"
"I'll give ten taels!"
…………
There was an uproar in the crowd, and all of them looked at the romantic French merchant Don Renaud in surprise, and directly doubled, it seemed that the French were determined to win.
"I'll give fifteen taels!"
Just when Guan Shanyue was about to drop the hammer, a Chinese with an elegant London accent suddenly sounded in the corner, and those who were familiar with it knew it was Carlisle as soon as they heard the voice.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and their faces showed an incredible look, this price has already discouraged some people.
Don Renault looked disdainful, he had just received authorization from the French merchant, and the upper limit price in his heart was twenty-five taels, "Made, it turned out to be a despicable Englishman, like an annoying fly, you are everywhere." Man, listen, this precious soap can only be matched by the noble French royal family, and I will pay twenty taels! ”
Everyone in the room knew that France and England were feuding, but the rate at which prices were rising was maddening.
Behind Carlisle, there is also a group of powerful gold masters, he elegantly took a sip of tea from the teacup, and nodded at Don Renault, "*\&......%¥#哦, please forgive me for speaking French, I will pay twenty-five taels!" ”
Now all the people dare not breathe, everyone can see that this soap will not be used to wash clothes at all, in addition to interests, behind this is the extension and competition of the war between Britain and France.
The price was already beyond his limit, Don Renault's face was blue and purple for a while, he swallowed the thirty taels that came to his mouth back into his stomach, and angrily threw the teacup to the ground.
"Thirty-five taels."
Just when everyone was frustrated that the soap had been taken into the hands of the British, the Dutch merchant Cruyff calmly shouted out his price.
Guan Shanyue is trembling with happiness now, this money is so easy to make, he is a little flustered.
"Forty taels!"
The catfish that spoiled the situation appeared.
People were already rolling on the ground.
"Oh, is Nicholas crazy? Why are these shoe sellers in Italy suddenly so rich? ”
Guan Shanyue only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she was dizzy and almost fell, so she hurriedly took a deep breath and shouted: "Forty two times, there are still people who have increased the price, forty two or two, the last time, is there any more?" ”
There was silence on the field, and everyone raised their hearts to their throats.
"Forty taels...... Three times, deal! Congratulations, Mr. Nicholas, and with great respect, we will give you a free Soap Simplified Version, a hundred pieces! ”
Carlisle looked frustrated, he regretted a little that he didn't grit his teeth just now, even if it was forty taels, as long as this strange thing was shipped to Europa, it would be at least four or five times the profit.
This kind of scene needs to show full momentum, and the aura is a little bit too much to suppress the scene.
Now Guan Shanyue is full of aura, with a strong local atmosphere all over her body, and she is a rural package that is alive and well.
He excitedly tapped the wooden table with a small wooden mallet, and shouted wildly: "Quiet, quiet, let's start auctioning mirrors below, each mirror is as big as a tabletop, of course we can provide paid cutting services." How soft and clear the people reflected in this mirror, the advantages needless to say, the biggest selling point of our things is to make money! It's right in front of your eyes, and you can experience it for yourself. Also, to reveal to you a little insider, Daning Academy of Sciences is studying a kind of colored glass and colored mirrors, this time the buyer of the mirror, next time enjoy the right to buy stained glass and colored mirrors. ”
This statement was like pouring a scoop of cold water into the boiling hot oil, and all the people were in a state of madness, and the additional conditions behind it were too attractive, and they were secretly glad that they did not refuse the invitation of the Chamber of Commerce of the four provinces this time.
How bold and prolific a person is, Guan Shanyue gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, ruthlessly, and shouted: "Okay, let's start auctioning mirrors, the supply is two hundred catties, one or two mirrors...... A tael of gold! Each increase is at least half a tael! ”
As soon as Guan Shanyue's voice fell, before everyone had time to exclaim, someone calmly shouted out their offer.
"Three taels of gold!"
The foreign businessmen in the courtyard were all in a state of rage, angrily looking for the person who had cut off his financial route.
