Chapter 204: Chongzhen's heart is broken
After Cao Huachun left, Chongzhen said: "Aiqing will tell me about the process and details of this auction!" After Chongzhen finished speaking, he drank a cup of tea, leaned back on the dragon chair, and prepared to listen to Tian Hongyu's description. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Tian Hongyu said respectfully: "Your Majesty! That's it! Our group has issued invitations to all the big businessmen in Beijing, as well as the princes and nobles, of course, this invitation is limited, a total of 300 copies have been distributed, and now 200 copies have been sent, and 100 copies have not been sent! ā
"Oh?! What does it mean? Chongzhen said with interest.
"Your Majesty! That's it! After discussing with Brother Zhou, Wei Chen felt that we could still make some moves on the invitation, we did not sign this invitation, and only wrote the most distinguished guest at the beginning, no matter who it was, as long as you get this invitation, you can participate! This invitation is actually a status symbol! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then just smiled and said, "Interesting!" Interesting! Keep talking! ā
Tian Hongyu happily continued after being praised by Chongzhen: "It is precisely because of this, because this invitation is limited, many dignitaries and nobles are now secretly buying this invitation, it turns out that the invitation is priceless, and now the highest gold-lettered invitation has been fried to one thousand taels!" ā
"Golden Invitation?!" Chongzhen was stunned again.
"Yes! Your Majesty! We divide this invitation into three grades, namely gold, silver and bronze three grades, and now the gold letter invitation has been fried to one thousand taels, the silver letter invitation is six hundred and one taels, and the bronze letter invitation has reached four hundred and eighty taels! "Tian Hong met the way of self-satisfaction.
"It's not easy! Very good! This one is very well done! Chongzhen praised without hesitation.
"Thank you for your majesty's compliment, these all-enduring majesty's guidance!" Tian Hongyu said modestly.
"That's it! You want to sell the rest of the invitations at a higher price, right? Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
"Good! Keep talking! The more Chongzhen listened, the more interesting it became.
"Yes! Your Majesty! After the guests get the invitation card and enter the venue, the lottery will be held first, and the lottery will also be drawn according to the level of the invitation! Guests with a reward of silver and gold invitations can draw up to 1,000 taels of silver, with a silver invitation of 500 taels and a bronze invitation of 300 taels of silver! Winners will receive a prize-like banknote, which can be exchanged for coins at the back of the auction at the end of the auction! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
Chongzhen couldn't help frowning after hearing this, Tian Hongyu saw that the emperor frowned, and knew that the emperor might not be satisfied here, so he humbly asked, "Your Majesty!" But what's wrong?! ā
"This lottery was also discussed by the two of you?" Chongzhen asked.
"Back to Your Majesty! It's the result of our deliberations! Tian Hongyu bowed and said.
"Why did you come up with this lottery?" Chongzhen continued.
"A little silver! Just to express our group's gratitude and friendship to our guests! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
"This lottery can be yes! In addition to what you said, you can also liven up the overall atmosphere, and in this way, double the bonus! Chongzhen said.
"What?!" Tian Hongyu was a little surprised, His Majesty the Emperor was so generous?
"Listen to me! This bonus is doubled, but it cannot be cashed, and guests can use this deduction when participating in the subsequent auction with this voucher, which can only be used to deduct items with a higher price than this voucher! Remember, this voucher cannot be cashed and no change is given! Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty! Wechen has learned again! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
Chongzhen didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Go on!" ā
"Yes! Your Majesty! After this lottery, you will enter the corresponding room according to the level of the invitation! After each of them enjoyed a different treatment, it was time to relax with some singing and dancing performances! Liven up the atmosphere! After that, it's time to enter the auction, where the auction process goes from ordinary items to precious items, gradually increasing the level until the final item is auctioned! Tian Hongyu said.
"The auction is based on the principle of the highest bidder, right?!" Chongzhen asked.
"Back to Your Majesty! Naturally, it is! Tian Hongyu said as a matter of course.
"But what if something doesn't show up at the price you expected?" Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! We've got an estimate! The starting price will not be lower than our estimate! Each time the price increase is a hundred taels, no matter what, there will be no loss, even if the auction is unsuccessful, we can still put it in the Chamber of Commerce to sell without a loss! And we've also hired some extra people to raise the price! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
"! This pallet is all set! Chongzhen couldn't help laughing and scolding in his heart, and then nodded and said, "Very good!" Let's do it! ā
"Your Majesty!" Tian Hongyu said respectfully, and then handed over an invitation with a smile and said, "Your Majesty! This is for you! I also hope that Your Majesty can go there by then! ā
Chongzhen looked at this invitation and couldn't help but joke: "I don't need to pay money for this!" ā
"Where did Your Majesty say it! I'm tormenting the micro-ministers! Tian Hongyu couldn't help but be embarrassed.
"If I go here, the guests will probably be scared away!" Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, there is a way to think about it!" Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
"Haha! Aiqing is instigating me to leave the palace without permission, aren't you afraid that if you let those officials know, you won't block your gate and scold? Chongzhen quipped.
"Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, there is a way to think about it!" Tian Hongyu said with a smile, and Tian Hongyu repeated what he had just said.
"Good guy! Come on! I know, I'll go then! It's the first time that I've made such a big scene, and I can't say it if I don't go to the town! But don't let outsiders know about it, understand? Chongzhen said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! There will definitely not be a second person who knows! Everything has been arranged! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
"So good! I want to go out for a walk, too! Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Wechen is waiting for the holy drive!" Tian Hongyu knelt down and said verbally.
Tian Hongyu just finished speaking, at this time, Cao Huachun came back from completing the task, followed by a few little eunuchs, Cao Huachun said respectfully: "Your Majesty!" Something is ready! Please take a look at it, Your Majesty! ā
"What's it?!" Chongzhen was also a little curious.
"Open!" Cao Huachun commanded, then walked to the first treasure chest and said, "Your Majesty! This is blue and white porcelain, called Guiguzi down the mountain jar! ā
"Oh!? Take a look! Chongzhen got up with great interest, and those eunuchs were just about to move Chongzhen said, "No need to move!" lest you accidentally break it! Those eunuchs hurriedly stood still when they heard the emperor say this, and when they saw Chongzhen coming over, they knelt down and walked to the treasure chest, Chongzhen looked at this blue and white porcelain and nodded: "Okay! Not bad! "Because he's not an expert, he doesn't know how to evaluate it at all, so he can only say it's good! However, the value of something that can be said to be good by the emperor is naturally different! Then Chongzhen pointed to the second treasure chest and said, "What about this?" What is it? ā
"Open!" Cao Huachun commanded, and after the box was opened, Chongzhen looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but pop out two words: "Good words!" ā
Cao Huachun smiled and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! This is the Huang Tingjing of the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty! ā
"! It's not good for you to take something! Take such a good thing! Chongzhen couldn't help but scold in his heart, although he didn't know how good this thing was, but can Wang Xizhi's work be bad? But everything was taken out, and of course he, as the emperor, was embarrassed to take it back.
Tian Hongyu, who was on the side, was an expert, and when he saw the first blue and white porcelain, his eyes had already turned into two stars, and he couldn't control it anymore, and now he saw Wang Xizhi's genuine product, and he couldn't control it!
"Your Majesty! These two things are so good! That's great! Tian Hongyu said excitedly.
Chongzhen looked at Tian Hongyu in disgust, and said disgustingly: "Aiqing! Pay attention to your image! ā
Tian Hongyu reacted at this time, and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" The minister is rude! It's just that this thing is so good, Weichen can't control it for a while! ā
"Humph! Is there anything wrong with me? Chongzhen couldn't help but say indignantly.
"Your Majesty said yes! Your Majesty forgives your sins! Tian Hongyu couldn't help but be authentic.
"That's it! What is this last one! "Chongzhen is ready for a big bloodletting.
"Open!" Under the order of Cao Huachun, the last box was opened, and what was displayed in front of Chongzhen and Tian Hongyu was the picture scroll of Buddhism! And it's two picture scrolls! Although I can't tell which famous painting it is, looking at the painting style, color, etc., even a layman like Chongzhen who doesn't know anything knows that this painting is not simple, and finally couldn't help but ask Chongzhen: "This is?" ā
"Your Majesty! This is the Tang Dynasty painting of the saint Wu Daozi's son to the king of heaven! Cao Huachun didn't answer, but Tian Hongyu rushed to answer, looking at Tian Hongyu's posture, it is estimated that if he hadn't been there, Tian Hongyu would have pounced on him and hugged this painting.
"Nima Cao Huachun!" Chongzhen scolded in his heart, at this time, Chongzhen's heart was 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, he really wanted to roar: "Come on!" Dragged Cao Huachun out of the noon gate and beheaded! Chongzhen seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbreak.
"Aiqing is still satisfied with these three treasures!" Although he was very unhappy to take out such a treasure in his heart, Chongzhen still maintained the emperor's prestige and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty! Satisfied! Satisfied! So satisfied! With these three treasures in charge, it is not impossible to earn him millions or even tens of millions of taels this time! Tian Hongyu couldn't help but look forward to it.
Hearing that there was so much silver, Chongzhen's heart couldn't help but balance a little and said, "That's good!" If you can't sell it for a good price, you can come and see you! ā
"Your Majesty, rest assured! Even if Weichen gives up this old life, he will definitely sell it for a good price! Tian Hongyu said excitedly.
