Chapter 32 Slapping the Duke in the Face

The bidding site was very lively.

Li Chuan divided the goods into 30 parts, and set 30 bids, 10 to the magnates in Beijing, 10 to the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and the remaining 10 shares, seven to the previous seven agents, and one to Su Xiaomei.

As for the remaining two copies, they are kept for emergencies.

In a quiet courtyard, a singing stage was temporarily erected.

Li Changyue stood on the platform, holding a notebook in his hand, presiding over the bid opening.

The table was overcrowded, and everyone had a bunch of brochures in their hands, which were prepared tenders, and twenty copies of the goods corresponded to twenty tenders, and each of the tenders was numbered on them, detailing the categories and quantities of the goods.

"Now start bidding for the number one!"

After explaining the bidding rules, the bidding officially began.

The more he hosted this kind of event for the first time, Li Chang was a little nervous.

There were servants and servants next to him, and when they heard this, they immediately sent down a stack of papers.

There were many tables in the courtyard, and hundreds of people were divided into two groups and sat on the left and right.

On the left are the representatives of merchants and magnates from the north, and on the right are the representatives of the wealthy merchants and big clans from the south. However, there were not many people from the north, only about 50 people, and more than 200 representatives of wealthy merchants and clans from the south.

Those who can have seats have all paid a deposit, and there are table signs on every table.

There were also many tables set up around them, all full of people, some with sneers on their faces.

It has only been a month since Li Chuan released the news, and it is not long to say that it is short, and it is not long to say that it is not long, and even the magnates in the capital can get the news and send people to rush here, which shows that these people are well-informed and act quickly.

The family and the servant skillfully sent the quotation to the people from the capital, and then returned to the high platform.

Li Changyue was not in a hurry, and waited for about three minutes before instructing the servants and the family to go down to collect the quotation.

The first round of offers is fast, just write a random number.

It's the third round of offers that will decide who will win, so don't hesitate.

As soon as the quotation was sent, the person sitting at the table filled in the quotation.

After the quotation was received, several servants took a list and began to check it one by one, and after confirming that it was correct, they handed the quotation to Li Changyue, who flipped it over, and then started reading from the first one.

"Xishan Commercial Bank offers eighty-three thousand!"

"Shunxiang Commercial Bank quoted eighty-two thousand eight hundred."

……

The bidding rules were set by Li Chuan, and Li Changyue was familiar with it as soon as possible, and pushed forward according to the determined process, and soon became less nervous after reading a few quotations, and was shocked by the young master's business acumen and methods.

"The offer is advertised, if you have any doubts, you can put it forward!"

Li Changyue read according to the book and asked according to Li Chuanjiao's lines.

The people below all looked calm, and no one had any doubts.

Li Changyue asked three times, and indeed no one had any doubts, so he continued to let people issue quotations.

The second round of demolition prices was also very fast, and the quotation was quickly received.

Compared with the first round of quotations, the second round of quotations is quite improved.

When the quotation can be reviewed, there are still three invalids, the rule is Li Chuanding, the three rounds of quotations are higher than the first round, if the quotation is lower than the previous round, it will be directly regarded as invalid, this novel business method many people are not adaptable.

Of course, it is not excluded that someone deliberately invalidates the quotation.

After all, it's the second round, and it's the third round that really decides the winner.

Sure enough, by the third round, no more quotations were invalidated.

By this time, everyone's faces were pale, and they listened attentively.

"Shunfeng Firm offers ninety-eight thousand nine hundred."

"Ping An Commercial Bank quoted 99,600."

……

"Kaiping Silver offers one hundred and one thousand three hundred!"

Wow!

The people below were in an uproar, and this was the highest offer in the third round so far.

Some people have ugly faces, some people look annoyed, and some people grit their teeth.

This new business method has made experienced shopkeepers or housekeepers at a loss, and they also hate its insidiousness, even the most experienced businessmen are not used to it. In the past, when deciding on a large business, even if there were disputes, the final solution to the dispute was not only normal business means, but also to fight for the backstage, and everyone was used to this set.

But suddenly there was an open bidding, which made everyone feel at a loss.

Hardly any of the people who can sit here are ordinary businessmen.

Is it possible to scare others and not bid with yourself?

Soon, Li Changyue read out the third round of offers.

One hundred eighty-eight thousand three hundred taels.

This is the highest bid in the third round of the third tender.

"The winning bidder is Yongan Commercial Bank, and if there is any doubt, it can be raised."

Li Changyue read out the quotation, said it as usual, and then waited for the people below to question.

"I have questions."

Some people were dissatisfied with this result and said loudly: "I have no opinion on who to give the goods to, but there are so many of us who have come all the way to Jiangyin, but we have to return empty-handed. ”

With the first bird, everyone else immediately clamored, lest the world be chaotic.

Li Changyue's face changed, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Thinking of the young master's confession, if there is a troublemaker, there is no need to say more, and the family will be beaten with a stick.

But how dare he, a little housekeeper, beat the people of the Chengguo Mansion out of the house.

"Go and report to the young master!"

Li Changyue sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly ordered a servant to report to Li Chuan.

The drum noise is getting louder and louder, and everyone has the psychology of conformity, and they are not interested in this Raush Zi bidding, if there is a choice, everyone is still more accustomed to fighting for the backstage, and to overwhelm people to get the goods, and even take all the goods.

Now someone jumps out to pick the head, how can they be worthy of such an opportunity if they don't make a fuss.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Chuan finally came, followed by Zhao Tiezhu.

No one stopped, most of the people were heathing, and the scene was chaotic.

Although these people are just representatives of each family, and even most of them are subordinates of the powerful and powerful mansions, but as the old saying goes, the prime minister's disciple is also a seven-rank official, although most of these people are subordinates, but the main family is not a person, and they look down on Li Chuan as a hairy boy with no foundation, even if he climbs into the palace, he is just a nouveau riche without a background.

Therefore, everyone should heckle or coax, and no one will stop at all.

Of course, there are also those who have not followed the coaxing, and have been watching coldly.

"What's going on?"

Li Chuan walked to the stage and asked with a cold face.

Li Changyue hurriedly informed the passing, and said with a guilty face: "The old slave has a heavy trust from the young master, please punish the young master." ”

Li Chuan waved his hand, his eyes swept over, and looked at the person sent by the Chengguo Mansion who had closed his mouth and sat calmly below, it was a middle-aged man, looking at his appearance as a worldly master, he couldn't tell that this person took the lead in coaxing.

"Hit out!"

Li Chuan had a cold face and ordered Zhao Tiezhu.

Zhao Tiezhu's instructions to the young master were never discounted, and he immediately came over, and with one hand, he lifted the middle-aged man who was sitting in the Chengguo Mansion and strode outside, ignoring the middle-aged man's anger and roar.

The courtyard was immediately quiet, and everyone was choked by the throat and silenced again.

"They are all civilized people, and I hope everyone can follow the rules."

Li Chuan smiled and said: "There are so many goods, there will always be people who can't get them, so the bidding is very fair to everyone, even if Cheng Guogong comes in person, he has to abide by the rules." This time, Jiuyuan Commercial Bank's bidding qualification was cancelled, and the deposit was refunded when he turned around, and anyone who dared to make trouble would be disqualified from bidding and drive out the unruly fool to me. ”

"Yes, young master!"

Li Changyue hurriedly responded, a little worried in his heart.

That's a national prince, so he can't help but be a flat-headed common man who doesn't worry.
