Chapter 288: Rare is Expensive

Shuzhong businessmen are crazy, the colorful stone has been rumored to be a god, some say that it can ward off evil spirits at home, some say that it can strengthen the body by putting it around, and some say that if you eat a bite, you can eliminate all diseases. [Ran^Text^Library] On the first day, only five of the smallest multicolored stones were sold in the jade shop of the king's shopkeeper, and the price of the shipment was 5,000 yuan, and before he left the door, the guy who got the goods changed hands at the price of 6,000 yuan each.

One after another, Cui Jiuming grinned and laughed: "Good, good!" It's only been eight thousand by noon, and I estimate that it will be ten thousand dollars at night, and the ones we will sell tomorrow will be priced at 10,000 yuan! ”

Su Ren shook his head: "No, it's still five thousand dollars!" ”

"Why?"

"To be a businessman, you must have integrity, only honesty is the right way for business, this time we have to do this, it's not right, if you take advantage of the fire to rob the reputation of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, it will be over."

"Ahh Cui Jiuming pouted: "You are called both doing ** and setting up an archway." ”

"Hehehe!" Su Ren laughed a few times: "Don't talk about it, have those out-of-town merchants found it?" ”

"Don't worry, when have I delayed the things you explained, as long as our things are sold, they will enter immediately!"

Sima Xiangru and Huo Laosi came in, both of them sweating profusely. Seeing that summer is about to begin, the weather in Chengdu is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the sun at noon becomes very poisonous, and the whole body sweats after a while. Holding the tea handed by Hawking, the two drank it for a while before sitting on the chair. In the end, it was Lao Tzu, Hawking's care was very considerate, and he took a fan to fan Huo Laosi.

Huo Laosi said: "Brother Ren, everything is ready, the notices have been posted, the venue is also properly arranged, and the posts to each family have been sent, but the shopkeeper Zhuo seems to have to intervene in it, on the way back, the housekeeper of the Zhuo family looked for Mr. Sima and asked Mr. to tell you about it." ”

Su Ren looked at Sima Xiangru. Sima Xiangru lowered his head in shame and didn't dare to look at Su Ren. Su Ren smiled: "It seems that our shopkeeper Zhuo still can't bear the loneliness, Brother Sima didn't show his bottom, right?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Sima Xiangru hurriedly denied: "I only told him that he would tell you, but at the auction in three days, I am afraid that Shopkeeper Zhuo will come." ”

"Okay! The more people, the better, as long as the shopkeeper Zhuo has money, everything is easy to say! ”

"What if he hits?"

"As I said, the one with the highest price will get it, as long as the shopkeeper Zhuo is rich."

Sima Xiangru stopped talking, he was a little embarrassed in this matter, on one side was his father-in-law, and on the other side was Su Ren. Be sure to pay attention, no matter what method you use, you can't ruin Su Ren's plan, and you have to deal with your father-in-law properly.

The next day, another ten multicolored stones were sold, and the price was even worse than yesterday's speculation. According to the news released by Su Ren, the total number of these things is only about thirty yuan, and if one is sold, there will be one less, not to mention that there will be ten largest auctions three days later. Those businessmen who didn't have much money waited at the door of Wang Ji Jade Store early, and there were a few fights for this. When the shopkeeper opened the door in the morning, there were still blood stains on the street.

Changshi sent public servants to maintain order, and in front of the crazy merchants, the dozen or so public servants had no effect at all, but two of them were crushed and injured. had no choice but to transfer a team of county soldiers, which made Wang Ji jade shop have some rules outside the door.

Frowning, after listening to Chang Yuan's report, Chang Shi asked, "What is this Su Ren going to do?" What did he say to you? ”

Chang Yuan shook his head: "He didn't say anything, just said that this is business, and at the same time promised that nothing like this would happen in the future." ”

"Hey! I really don't understand, that broken stone is really so valuable? ”

Chang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Taishou still remember the thing that Su Ren gave you when he first met you?" ”

Chang Shi suddenly looked up: "You mean this multicolored stone is that thing?" ”

"I look very similar, but it's much bigger than those two, and the smallest ones sold now are the size of fists."

"So big? He only sold for 5,000, no wonder these merchants are as crazy as they are. ”

I often have no words for a long time. Chang Yuan looked at it for a while and said, "Do you want me to talk to Su Ren, let's buy one too?" Don't want the big ones, just the small ones! ”

Chang Shi's eyes rolled three times in his sockets, and he shook his head: "Don't worry, let's take a look first." ”

The three days came quickly, and there was a lot of noise outside the Cuixiang Building in the West City. Hawking and Huang 13 led people to guard the door, only with the post issued by the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce can enter, and each person who enters must pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan first, this time the auction is not a chance if you have money, only the Chengdu businessmen identified by the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce are eligible.

Zhuo Wangsun begged at the door for a long time, but Hawking was not allowed to enter. Zhuo Wangsun, who returned in a huff, scolded his son-in-law Sima Xiangru as he walked back, causing people who also did not go in laugh.

Cuixiang Building has undergone some renovation, and a color platform has been set up in the lobby, and rows of seats are placed neatly, according to the number on the invitation, each merchant who comes in has his own corresponding seat. The original private room on the second floor removed the curtain near the lobby and replaced it with a Taishi chair and a small table, and each room just saw the color platform in the lobby.

Shopkeeper Hu chatted with Liu, Fang, and Wu while drinking tea. Over the years, they have made a lot of money with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and they are also among the top businessmen in Chengdu. Their seats are on the second floor, directly opposite the color stage, and the view is very good.

Shopkeeper Liu glanced down: "Tsk, so many people? ”

Shopkeeper Fang frowned: "They are all the richest people in Chengdu, I don't know how much Su Ren's ten colorful stones can be sold for this time!" ”

"Humph! How much does it matter? With the strength of the four of us, it is not a problem to win half of it, I have already found a few friends in Chang'an, and I am ready to sacrifice one to the imperial court, and I have already said that it is not a problem to get a fifth-class title. ”

"Oh? Can this be exchanged for a knighthood? ”

Shopkeeper Wu laughed: "You don't understand this, do you?" The Empress Dowager is sick, how can she not offer such a treasure? Not to mention a fifth-class title, if the Empress Dowager is better because of this, it is not difficult to be a petty official! ”

Shopkeeper Hu glanced at Shopkeeper Wu coldly: "You are a shrewd person!" ”

"Hehehe, see the smile!"

Before the auction even started, those who received the invitations were already in early. On the surface, everyone is polite and laughing, but in fact they are comparing each other. Many people took advantage of this opportunity to start gangs and seek more funds. Seeing this, others were naturally unwilling to be reluctant, and they looked for someone they trusted. Walking back and forth, these are old loaches who have been crawling in the mall for many years, and you can see whether the other party is sincere and cooperative in a few words.

Cui Jiuming secretly glanced out, turned around and smiled at Su Ren: "I really didn't expect that this matter would be so profitable, and I received no less than 500,000 yuan in deposit, if we can get it once a year, we can do nothing." ”

Su Ren said with a smile: "The deposit has to be repaid, only the deposit of those who didn't take it can be left, and everyone else's has to be returned." ”

"Ahh And this statement? I thought I wouldn't have to pay it back! ”

"You're in the eye of money! There must be a way to make money, what money can be made and what money cannot be earned, if all ten are sold, what is the margin of 500,000 yuan? ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Cui Jiuming smiled: "That's what I said, I see that people are almost there, why don't you start?" ”

Su Ren nodded: "Let's start!" ”

No speakers, no speakers, everything has to be roared. As soon as Su Ren and Cui Jiuming stood on the stage, the entire Cuixiang Building immediately quieted down.

Clearing his throat, Cui Jiuming first made a circle to everyone: "Thank you for your support, I Cui Jiuming is grateful, you are all famous businessmen in Chengdu and Shuzhong, it is an honor for our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce to take the time to come, ...... below"

"Lao Cui, don't talk nonsense, let's start!" Before Cui Jiuming's words were finished, someone immediately started to coax him.

Cui Jiuming smiled: "Okay, okay, everyone is busy, I, Cui Jiuming, don't talk nonsense, let's start officially, and the rest of the time will be handed over to Mr. Su, I wish you all good luck and be able to get what you like." ”

After Cui Jiuming finished speaking, he retreated with a smile. Su Yi, dressed in a white robe, stood behind a long table. The props are simple, a table, a mallet. Su Ren stopped here and first glanced at everyone. The birds were silent, these businessmen and Cui Jiuming could mess around in front of them, and they were still a little jealous in the face of Su Ren.

"Let's talk about the rules first, the rules of the auction!" Su Ren did not have an opening statement: "Auction, that is, the one with the highest price wins, how to get the high price?" For each thing, I will quote a reserve price, and then say the range of adding money, no cap, until no one bids again, my gavel is considered a success, do you understand? ”

"Hehe, don't you understand? Let's try a few other things first! ”

With a wave of his hand, his own guy came up with a tray, gently put it down, and unfolded it. It is a complete white tiger skin, the whole body is snow-white, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and as soon as it appears, it makes the eyes of these businessmen straight.

Su Ren pointed to the white tiger skin and said to everyone: "A good Yelang white tiger skin, the reserve price is 1,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 100 yuan each time, and the auction will start now, is there a thousand yuan?" ”

After shouting twice, a businessman finally raised his hand, and Su Ren pointed with his hand: "Okay, the shopkeeper of Jinyuan offered 1,000 yuan, is there 1,100 yuan?" ”

After asking twice, another businessman raised his hand. Su Ren pointed at the businessman again: "The shopkeeper of the Kaifu number bid 1,100 yuan, is there 1,200 yuan?" ”

Merchants slowly adapted to this auction model and made bids. Everyone bids, and Su Ren can accurately report the source and name of that person, shouting again and again, and asking again and again.

"Smack!" The gavel slammed heavily on the table: "Congratulations to Bai Shengxiang's shopkeeper Shen for obtaining this rare white tiger skin from Yelang for two thousand one hundred yuan!" ”
