In addition to You Ya, there are also many virtuous and famous people or Confucians in various parts of Daqian, including a large number of people such as Chen Qi from Hebei, Xing You from Hejian, and Li Ling from Zhaojun.

There are also many skilled craftsmen in various industries who are also invited.

These virtuous and famous scholars, well-educated people and great Confucians, as well as those craftsmen with unique skills, did not need to pay money to participate in this canonization ceremony, and of course there were some landlords and farmers who farmed well.

In addition, there are many merchants, who are the lowest among the four classes of Shinong, industrialists and industrialists, and if they want to participate in this canonization ceremony, they must donate some money, and each seat in the front row is 3,000 yuan, the middle seat is 2,000 yuan, and the back row is 1,000 yuan each.

Kang Yide chose the place where the businessmen signed up to participate in a restaurant called Guo Ji, and on this day, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong also came to Guo Ji Restaurant in disguise.

Guo Ji Restaurant was chartered by Kang Yide on this day, specially used to receive these big businessmen who came from all over the country, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, and Wan Yutong sat in a small private room on the second floor of the restaurant by the patio and the window.

There were a few side dishes, snacks and pastries, a pot of wine, and three wine cups on the table, and the three of them chatted and listened to the movements in the restaurant.

In the lobby of the restaurant, there are hundreds of wealthy businessmen from all over the country, in order to participate in this canonization of the hall, some of the businessmen have traveled for more than half a month to arrive in Chang'an, and these people are not short of money.

These businessmen were talking in the lobby, and because of the large number of people, Zhao Junsheng and the others sitting in the small elegant room could hear it clearly.

Hua Mulan said to Kang Yide: "The hour is almost up, Kang Gonggong, you go!" ”

"No!" Kang Yide saluted Zhao Junsheng and the other three, turned to leave, and the door of the small room was closed again.

After a while, I heard the voice of a little eunuch outside: "Mr. Kang has arrived-"

No one looks down on eunuchs, but eunuchs are the closest to the highest authority, so although these big businessmen from all over the country look down on Kang Yide in their hearts, they all seem to be very respectful to Kang Yide on the surface.

All the businessmen bowed together: "See Chief Kang!" ”

Kangyide's face was dignified, and in order to make himself appear affable, he smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved to the merchants: "Good, good, all the proprietors are exempt from courtesy, courtesy!" ”

Kang Yide walked to the corner of the stairs, here is relatively high, the view is good, you can see most of the position in the lobby, he stood here and said to the merchants: "The canonization of the Son of Heaven is a grand ceremony, the royal family entrusted our family to welcome the arrival of the proprietor, and you are also welcome to enter the scene to watch the ceremony, but due to the limited seats, there are more than 200 merchants who came this time, but the seats are only 30 people, for the sake of fairness, you still need to bid, the highest price is qualified to watch the ceremony, and if you can't afford the price, we can only say sorry!" ”

Someone in the businessman raised his hand and asked: "Dare to ask Mr. Kang, I don't know how to bid?" ”

Kang Yide said: "There are a total of 30 seats for businessmen, divided into three rows of front, middle and back, let's first bid for the back row of seats, how to carry out this bidding, in order not to let you fight to the death, but also so as not to hurt the harmony, the bidding procedure is very simple, now please stand in a row and stand neatly······ Okay, come on, give each proprietor a book and a pen! ”

Several eunuchs came over with a tray carrying a lot of folds and brushes, and handed out a fold and a pen to each merchant.

When everyone was given the folds and pens, Conif said, "Now everyone has received the folds and pens, right?" Let's take a one-time quotation method, that is to say, you only have one chance to compete for one of the seats in the last row, the reserve price is 1,000 guan, the minimum price is 1,000 guan to qualify, and less than 1,000 guan will be automatically disqualified! Write the number of prices you can offer on the fold, the higher the offer, the higher the eligibility for a seat, because there are only ten seats in the back row, so only the ten people with the highest offer can get it! Remember, don't let the people before and after see the number of offers you write, once your quotation is known by others, he can eliminate you as long as he is more consistent, we make it clear enough, right? Okay, don't worry, you have a cup of tea time to think about, let's start now! ”

The merchants took folds and brushes, looked at each other at the people in front of and behind them, and they began to think about how much to bid in order to get one of the seats in the last row.

After weighing and thinking, some people took up a pen and wrote down a number on the fold after looking at the people around them vigilantly.

Conece reminded: "Don't forget to write your place of origin, your name, and the name of your firm or shop on the front of the fold!" ”

In the small private room, Wan Yutong listened to Kangyide's voice and asked Mulan: "Mulan, did you come up with this idea?" It looks pretty good! ”

Hua Mulan smiled: "No, it was Kang Yide who came up with it himself, and after telling me and Brother Junsheng, we all agreed!" Don't say it, Kang Yide is quite talented in business, if he doesn't become a eunuch, he should be able to make a fortune if he becomes a businessman! ”

Zhao Junsheng threw a peanut in his mouth and said with a smile: "I think Kang Yide is a businessman who has been delayed by the profession of eunuch, and it is still a bit unreasonable to let him be a eunuch!" ”

Wan Yutong covered his mouth and snickered.

In the lobby of the restaurant outside, some of the merchants had already written the number, closed the fold and wrote their names, places of origin, and the names of the firms or shops on the front.

There are still many people who are still weighing, thinking about how much money they should write to get one of the positions in the back row.

All the businessmen know that the competition for these seats must be fierce, and they are not short of money, but how much money do they have to pay to make themselves acceptable and qualify for the seats? It's a very psychological and tactical job!

Kang Yide reminded again: "Everyone, there is not much time left, I hope you can hurry, there is still half a cup of tea time!" For the sake of fairness, please keep your folds and stand still if you have written the numbers! ”

Time passed little by little, and the merchants could not hesitate, and quickly wrote down the number after making a decision.

When the time for a cup of tea came, Concierge said, "Alright, the hour has come!" Come on, put away the folds of the proprietors! ”

Several eunuchs walked over with trays and put away the folds written by the merchants one by one.

After a few eunuchs put away everyone's folds and returned to the side, Kang Yide said: "In order to show fairness, our family will publicize all the quotations of all the proprietors on the spot, and then take the ten with the highest bids!" Come on, report the frozen quotations one by one, report one person, write one person! ”

Two eunuchs carried a large erected billboard and put it aside, a large white paper was pasted on the billboard, a eunuch walked to the billboard with pen and ink, and another small eunuch began to read: "Huang Ren, the proprietor of Xuzhou Huang's Commercial Bank, offers 8,000 yuan!" ”

The businessmen present reacted mediocrely, but Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong in the small elegant room were heartbroken when they heard it, and someone in the back row offered 8,000 yuan? Haven't been more tyrants?

The answer is: Yes!

"Huazhou Ge Ji Jewelry Ge Hong, the price is 10,000 yuan!"

"Liangzhou Chen family commodity Chen Lang, the price is ten thousand and five hundred!"

"Fenzhou Xia's shop Wen Ji Commercial Bank, the price is 11,000!"

It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening, this offer is only higher, not the highest.

The little eunuch read the quotations of more than 30 merchants in a row, and the highest quotation reached 11,500 yuan.

In the small private room, Wan Yutong said: "Just a moment ago, there are more than a dozen quotations exceeding 10,000 guan, and when all the quotations of more than 200 people are completed, then take the ten with the highest quotations, I think there are at least 120,000 guan!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said, "I think it should be more than that, maybe it can reach 150,000!" In fact, in this round of desperate quotations are relatively reasonable, and when the bidding in the back row is completed, only the middle row and the front row will remain, and the competition between the middle row and the front row may be more intense! ”

Wan Yutong said: "I think these three rows are about the same, the front row is not much farther than the middle row and the back row, just one or two seats, they won't die for the middle row and the front row, right?" ”

Hua Mulan shook her head and said: "Yutong, you still don't understand what it means for these businessmen to have the opportunity to participate in this canonization hall, as long as they get the qualifications for the seats, they will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the eunuchs of the inner court, and also have the opportunity to get acquainted with celebrities from all over the world, and high-ranking officials of the court and the central government, which will definitely be beneficial to their future business!"

After all the quotations are over and the seats of the 30 businessmen have been attributed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will publicize it to the public, which is equivalent to enhancing the reputation of these merchants' commercial firms. How can you be selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to participate in the canonization ceremony without strength?

Also, don't look at the front row and the middle row, there is only one seat spacing between the middle row and the back row, but it is the spacing of this seat that represents a grade difference in their reputation and strength. Who wants to be left behind? The closer you are, the easier it is to get in touch with celebrities and high-ranking officials, and even have the opportunity to contact royalty, those businessmen are not fools, they are also very gambling, the more you pay, the higher you get! ”

Wan Yutong sighed: "I'm really convinced, you can still make so many tricks and fame in this canonization ceremony!" ”
