Chapter 421: Glass Appreciation Conference
2-in-1, big chapter
The following text
Not a lot?
First come, first served?
The merchants of the Chu State were speechless.
If it weren't for Qin Changfeng being the number one leader of the Ministry of Commerce, I'm afraid he would have been scolded at this time.
That's a priceless treasure!
It doesn't matter if it's broken, the remaining glass beads are more expensive than before, which is equivalent to passing on the loss to the merchants.
It's good now, the glass beads that could have been bought for 10,000 taels have risen several times now.
That's a real cost!
"Ladies and gentlemen, how about I sell this glass bead for 50,000 taels of silver to all of you?" Qin Changfeng took a sip of tea and said lightly.
50,000 taels ......
Everyone's hearts twitched.
Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and those that are generally sold at this price are either rare treasures or objects of special significance, and only the great families and royal families are qualified to own.
Now, it is a bit difficult to accept buying a glass bead for 50,000 taels of silver.
However, none of them counteroffered.
Rare things are expensive, and now there are only seven glass beads, but there are fifteen caravan representatives here.
It is destined that only half of the people will be able to buy it.
The point is that the color of each one is different, and it can be said that each one is unique.
Just by virtue of its uniqueness, it is worth 50,000 taels of silver, and it is not worried that it will not be sold.
"That's it, my Xu family has one, and I want a purple one."
"No! Why do you Xu family's caravan want to be purple! My Liu family caravan is going to be! ”
"Purple glass beads, my Mo family is willing to pay 60,000 taels of silver!"
The crowd was in a big uproar, and the object of contention was the purple bead of the seven glass beads.
Qin Changfeng was silent, looking at the arguing crowd for a long time, his heart was like a mirror.
In fact, just from the point of view of color and beauty, the seven glass beads are comparable, and any one of them is singled out separately, it can be called dazzling.
However, these people want to gather together to fight for a purple one, and it is certainly not a battle of will.
If it is expected to be good, it should be the emperor of Chu or which favorite concubine likes purple things very much, so these people will compete like this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you listen to the next word?"
After a long time, Qin Changfeng couldn't help but shake his head as he watched these people fight, and said, "These seven glass beads are chosen by drawing lots, who should have them, okay?" ”
Drawing?
The crowd's bickering stopped, attracted by the offer.
Anyway, everyone is not short of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it is really difficult to discuss what the result will be if they continue to quarrel like this.
It's better to leave it to fate, whoever can draw the lot, the purple glass beads are theirs.
"Good, Lord Shangshu is fair and just, we are convinced."
"Please also ask the adult to preside over on my behalf, and my Xu family has no objection."
"The Mo family has no objections."
"As Lord Shangshu said."
All of them agreed with Qin Changfeng's lottery method and expressed their positions one after another.
Qin Changfeng nodded and said: "But in front of you, although the ownership of this glass bead is determined by lottery, the price cannot be ambiguous, according to the previous discussion, the purple glass bead is temporarily priced at 60,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the beads are 50,000 taels each, how about it?" ”
The merchants of Chu Kingdom glanced at each other, although they were secretly scolding the old fox in their hearts, they nodded their heads one by one on the surface.
Soon, the attendant took a large piece of white paper, divided it into fifteen parts, and on seven of the sheets of paper, wrote seven colored glass beads, and then crumpled them, and each of the representatives of the fifteen caravans drew one.
"Hahaha! Sure enough, it was still obtained by my Xu family caravan! ”
The representative of the Xu family's caravan laughed as he drew the purple glass beads.
The rest of the people nodded their heads when they drew the glass beads, which was considered to have been comforted.
When he got a blank piece of paper, he could only shake his head helplessly, lamenting his bad luck.
Seven stained glass beads, in the end, in exchange for 360,000 taels of silver, that is, 36 million yuan of Dacang coins, carefully calculated, it is simply not too cost-effective.
If it weren't for the fact that he had experienced the statue of the emperor of Chu, his psychological endurance had improved to a certain extent, and he would probably have to jump.
Just a few beads that sold for so much money?
Those things in the glass factory are no longer glass.
That's a mountain of gold and silver!
……
After a private gathering, Qin Changfeng went to the venue of the appreciation meeting and inspected them one by one.
Glass chopsticks, glass cups, glass mirrors, glass jewelry......
What price should these be sold for?
It's really hard to give a price!
After all, the major caravans also have their own bottom line, especially medium-sized and small-scale caravans, which account for a large proportion in Cangcheng, and it is almost the same to take out a dozen or two hundred thousand taels of performance at a time, and it is rare to buy a glass product at a time.
Set too high and it will be prohibitive.
It is too low, and it cannot highlight the preciousness and grade, and the future glassware will not be sold at a high price.
How to weigh it is a matter that requires a lot of wisdom.
Could it really be that there is an auction as recorded in the book given by His Majesty?
The so-called auction is a way to sell things that he happened to see in the books that Yang Mu gave him recently.
It refers to a spot trading method in which an auction house specializing in auction business accepts the entrustment of the owner of the goods, displays the goods to the buyer at a specified time and place, in accordance with certain regulations and rules, bids openly, and finally sells the goods to the buyer with the highest bid.
The idea of an auction has been swirling in his mind lately.
Today, the nobles of the Chu State are invited to a private gathering, firstly, to pave the way for the behavior of the Chu State, and secondly, to probe the wind and see what kind of attitude the caravan has towards the glass, which can meet the requirements of the auction.
Today's private gathering can be regarded as a way out.
However, pathfinding works well.
This delicate and eye-catching thing has proven to be highly sought after in rare cases.
If you can't be sure, create scarcity first, and then let the caravans of various countries compete with each other.
In this way, the best interests of Cangguo can be guaranteed.
Make as much money as you can before the glass floods.
After explaining to the guards, Qin Changfeng tidied up his clothes and entered the palace to face the saint.
……
In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Mu seriously thought about the possibility of auction.
Obediently, you will be hungry for marketing!
Originally, dozens of glass beads might not be sold for a million yuan when they were really spread out, but after such a deliberate manufacturing scarcity, the price immediately doubled several times.
Not only did it make back the lost money, but it also raised the price of glass, causing tension in the outside world and laying the groundwork for future auctions.
Now that hunger marketing has come out, is there more marketing tools to continue to develop like this?
I have to say that Qin Changfeng is doing business, and he has gradually walked ahead of him.
More and more like a profiteer.
As for the auction, he had never thought of it before.
Then, when he heard that a few glass beads were sold for 36 million yuan, his eyes widened.
The 3,600 yuan of the Dacang coin, in fact, in terms of purchasing power, is not much different from the RMB in the previous life, and it is incredible that seven glass beads are sold so much!
So, what is the glass ball that he played with his friends when he was a child?
Now that I think about it, all of them are local tyrants!
Technology, slightly ahead of others, you can make money, ahead of an era, you can form a crushing trend for other products, if you are ahead of a few eras, it is a myth!
In the end, Yang Mu approved Qin Changfeng's request and decided to hold an auction after the appreciation conference.
At the same time, step up the call of the Ministry of Industry to make statues of the emperors of various countries, and if there are conditions, even the statues of the crown prince are better to be built.
Not only that, but he also prepared a big move.
That is, from the palace, a lot of palace maids with good looks were called, and when the time came, they would act as models for the appreciation meeting, and wear those glass jewelry, they would definitely be amazed.
As long as he is a man who can please women, he will be moved.
When the time comes, whether it is used to bribe the boss or to coax the wife and concubine at home, it is very sincere.
I don't believe it, the forced quality of glass products will not be high!
……
The glass appreciation conference, in the midst of all the attention, came as scheduled.
A glass appreciation meeting to be held outside the palace has become a hot topic of discussion in the entire Cangcheng.
This appreciation meeting not only invited the dignitaries and dignitaries of Cangcheng, as well as the envoys and officials of various countries, but also issued invitations to the slightly famous merchant caravans.
In the end, there was a wind of comparison in Cangcheng, especially those small and medium-sized caravans, who were proud of receiving invitations and sneered at caravans that did not receive invitations.
Those individual businessmen, as well as the businessmen and officials who came to Cangcheng with personal identities, were very anxious and worried that they would not be able to enter the market.
However, in the end, the news came that even those who did not receive the invitation could enter.
It was at this time that everyone knew that this glass appreciation conference was to be entered with a ticket.
The ticket is 10,000 yuan a piece, which is 100 taels of silver.
Profiteer!
Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
Got into the eyes of money!
Each ticket costs 500 taels of silver, and it is said that this appreciation meeting can accommodate 3,000 people at the same time.
In other words, the ticket is 1.5 million taels of silver!
Although this does have a screening effect, it is undeniable that Cangguo has made a lot of money because of this.
A small order for weapons and equipment, that's all, right?
Unlike the depressed mood of businessmen from all over the world, the people of Cangguo are full of applause.
Everyone will inevitably have a sense of pride in their hearts, and at the same time, they all know that the more Cangguo trades with foreign countries, and the court has enough silver, the more taxes will be reduced for them, and the country will become stronger and stronger, and the people of Cangguo will benefit in the end.
"Would you like to go to the evening appreciation?"
Yang Mu was in the imperial garden, walking with the queen, and suddenly asked.
"This ......"
The queen was a little moved, in fact, after seeing a few pieces of glassware, she was also attracted by the beautiful shiny things.
Although as the queen of Cangguo, she can have as many of this kind of thing as she wants, but after all, it is an appreciation meeting, and she feels very good when she hears it.
It is said that after the appreciation, there will be an auction, and those glassware, which is very cheap, will be bought back for the same as ancestors by those brainless fools at a high price.
As a queen with an elegant temperament and a cold temperament, of course she can't say such words.
In fact, these are Yang Mu's original words.
It's just that it was precisely because of these words that she was interested.
Why is there no brain?
Why are you stupid?
How do I feel...... Those glasswares are really beautiful......
This is the most real voice in the queen's heart, even if it is a woman with a cold temperament, she is a woman after all, she is born with a unique love for beauty, and she always has a special love for colorful and shiny.
Yang Mu was a straight man in his previous life, and because he had the identity of the emperor in this life, he was also at his disposal in women's affairs, so he didn't figure out the psychology of the queen at all, but just asked lightly.
However, just when he thought that the queen would shake her head as usual, he didn't expect her to ask: "Then tonight, let's go to the concubine for dinner, and then go over together." ”
Let's have a meal and go over together......
Yang Mu was a little surprised, and after glancing at her, he nodded slightly, and then continued to tease the fish in the pond.
……
Outside the palace, the place where the emperors of the original countries had a picnic.
The space here is extremely large, a green meadow, and now it has been built into a large hall-like building, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of linen, which is extremely comfortable and soft to step on.
Inside, the lights are bright, and the tables extend from the door to the innermost, and around each table, there are several palace guards guarding them.
A piece of glassware is presented on a single case, with a cordon on the front and back, left and right, and is heavily guarded.
"Wow! There is another statue here, although it is only the size of a fist, but it is lifelike, like a man among the gods. ”
"Isn't this a glass statue of Empress Ruan? It's so big, the style is peerless, and the demeanor of a generation of empresses is undoubtedly displayed! ”
"This benevolent brother is wrong, now that the Empress of Ruan Guo is pregnant with Liujia, according to the next opinion, this abdomen should be slightly raised, hahaha......"
"Look, the statue of His Majesty the Emperor of my Cao Kingdom!"
"Yue Guo also has it!"
"Look at this sword, oh my God, it is crystal clear, it does not contain a trace of impurities, isn't it a gift from the gods at home......"
"Glass cups, glass chopsticks, glass balls...... Oh, my God! It's all made of glass, and I'm afraid that every single one of these things is worth a fortune! ”
"Alas, it's a pity, I'm afraid I can't afford to buy a single piece of the silver money I brought this time......"
Originally, for today's glass appreciation conference, everyone had great expectations in their hearts, and tried their best to guess as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, imagination is still limited, and this appreciation conference far exceeded everyone's expectations.
