Chapter 260: Deserted First Scene
Of course, Mao Bijiang and Chen Zhenhui have no good impression of Su Baiyi, but now that the old hen has turned into a duck in the blink of an eye, who has turned the family into a celebrity in front of the emperor today?
Therefore, it can't be offended!
At least you can't be offended on the surface!
This time, Su Baiyi held a railway share singing and selling conference, and his mentor Wen Zhenmeng specially instructed them to come and have a look.
Regarding the matter of railway shares, Wen Zhenmeng said in the letter that the words were vague, and asked the two of them to come here "The camera is appropriate, don't make the national weapons dusty, and don't be stingy", the specific things did not say much, but Chen Zhenhui and Mao Bijiang still understood the key.
That's to come and make trouble!
It is also necessary to quietly stand on the position of righteousness to make trouble.
This time, Chen Zhenhui and Mao Bijiang made a difficulty.
First of all, Su Baiyi's official position is the governor of the second-grade railway, and when today's son is a celebrity in front of the emperor, if he really makes something to anger this person at the railway share sales meeting, there is a real possibility that his life will be lost; Secondly, the two of them had only heard about this railway share singing conference, and as for what a railway was and how to sing and sell this share, they could be said to know nothing about it.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and it is still a little difficult to make trouble about things that you don't know.
But the master's order was there, and the two of them couldn't do it if they didn't come. Since Chen Zhenhui and Mao Bijiang joined the Restoration Society, they talked about poetry and Taoism with their brothers in the society every day, and their mastery and grasp of Baguwen gradually became clear, and there has indeed been a qualitative improvement. Now Wen Zhenmeng is a hot minister, and the two disciples have not yet spoken, and this trip must be completed even if it is difficult.
If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!
Chen Zhenhui would venture to open up the frontier, and her face turned pale when she was really angry when she was provoked by Su Baiyi's words, but after a few seconds, the two looked at each other and smiled, and each regained their composure, not only did they not sneer at each other, but also saluted Su Baiyi respectfully: "I've seen Master Su!" ”
Su Baiyi sneered, "Let's go in!" ”
After a long period of busy work, all the guests who came later entered the hall one after another.
Su Baiyi noticed that in addition to some dignitaries, nobles and businessmen, there were also a few ordinary-looking subordinates mixed in, and the fishy smell that could be smelled from afar instantly betrayed the identities of these people, except for the castrated father-in-law, it is estimated that there is no one, Su Baiyi thought in his heart, this should be the person sent by the big eunuch in the palace.
After everyone entered the temporary auction venue, Su Baiyi arched his hand to Yuan Keli, Zhou Shipu, Cheng Kaikai and Zhang Shize: "Several, let's go in too, the railway auction will begin!" ”
There was a commotion in the hall.
Some people grab bananas and eat them, this thing is not a particularly rare item in the Ming Dynasty, but what can usually afford to eat is some dignitaries, and bananas are seasonal fruits, this time has not been listed, and the entire Ming Dynasty can not buy it, so although the people who come are noble, they can't take care of a lot.
Others looked at the spacious hall curiously, and some raised their heads and pointed at the top of the hall.
"What kind of light is this, it's so bright!"
"yes, why don't you have a fire?"
"Nonsense, if there is a fire, won't the house burn down?"
"But, but, it's so bright, I've never seen such a bright light for such an uncle?"
Song Yude, the prince of Xining Houshi, frowned with his face up, staring at the fluorescent lamps on the ceiling like most people, his face showed a trace of entanglement, and he struggled for a long time before saying: "Could this thing be that it hit the fire in the glass tube, Su Baiyi is an expert in this set of things!" ”
"Isn't it?" Zhang Shize said: "You see this thing hanging above our heads, but I don't feel any heat, there is no fire beating, no lamp ash falling, I think this should be a kind of ore!" ”
"Ore?" Song Yude's eyes widened.
"Yes!" Zhang Shize said painfully: "For example, or maybe it's the night pearl or something!" ”
"You stupid...... Xue Han, the prince of Yangwu Hou next to him, laughed, pointed at Zhang Shize and said: "Broad & Bright, don't you have a brain, if he Su Baiyi has so many night pearls, what railway shares can he still sing, don't you just sell the night pearls." Also, if you look at these lamps, they are exactly the same size and shape, as if they are not natural! ”
"Yes!" Zhang Shize glanced at Xue Han with admiration and said, "What did you just say?" ”
"I said it's not natural!" Xue Han said.
"It's not this sentence, the front, the first sentence!" Zhang Shize said.
"Front?" Xue Han frowned and thought for a while: "Oh, let me think about it, oh, I said earlier, you are a fool...... Hang, what's wrong, do you think you're smart? ”
"Yunzhen, Yunzhen, Xu Yunzhen......" Zhang Shize stretched out his hand and patted Xu Yunzhen, the prince of Dingguo, in the front row.
"Damn, why are you filming Lao Tzu?" Xu Yunzhen turned his head and scolded Zhang Shize angrily.
Zhang Shize smiled, pointed at Xue Han and said, "He scolded you for being stupid!" ”
"What?" Xu Yunzhen slapped the table and said angrily: "You are a stupid hanger, your Yangwuhou family is a stupid hanger." ”
"What's the noise?" Song Yude's fat head turned around: "You two have taken gunpowder, let's see the real chapter when you can sing and sell, and see if you are a little grandfather or a sister-in-law...... Father. ”
"Cut, afraid of you?"
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
At this moment, a strange sound was heard that had never been heard before, and this sound was like a drum beating.
Everyone stopped talking, and all turned their heads strangely and stared at the front of the booth.
Su Baiyi personally presided over the auction, and he tapped the microphone lightly with his fingers a few times again.
"Knock knock...... The sound of "knock knock ......" came.
"Hey ......"
"Hey, Hey, ......"
I tried the sound, and it was good, and the effect was pretty good.
All the guests were stunned and fell silent for three seconds, followed by louder discussions.
"What is this?"
"How can you make it so loud?"
"Just now I was worried that the sound in this living room was too big to hear the sound, but now it's okay!"
"Please be quiet!" Su Baiyi coughed twice, and said in standard Fengyang official dialect: "Please stop talking, our railway share singing conference is about to start." ”
The people who came were all adults, not like children who were chattering and had no control, and they were all people with status, so after Su Baiyi said, the hall instantly fell silent.
Su Baiyi smiled with satisfaction, picked up the microphone and stood straight on the stage: "Distinguished guests and friends from afar, good morning!" It is an honor for me Su Baiyi to invite all of you to participate in this railway share auction, and Su is grateful! ”
After speaking, he took a deep look at everyone in the audience!
"I won't say much else, let's get straight to the point, I will talk about the later operation mode and profit points of the entire railway, as well as the way you share it with the imperial court!"
Su Baiyi took a deep breath: "First of all, the railway is the railway of the imperial court, and the ownership and operation rights belong to the imperial court.
Second, the whole railway will give up 100 shares, and there will be 13 shares in this auction, which I have written very clearly in the leaflet, and everyone should understand it, so now I will focus on dividends. There are two theme words for dividends, that is, according to the shares and from generation to generation, I think everyone understands, yes, this railway shares are actually somewhat similar to those titles that have been passed down from generation to generation, that is, they will rest with the country.
Today we are auctioning the shares of Longhai Railway, Longhai Railway from Xi'an to the sea in the east, a total of 2,000 miles along the way, Longhai is Guanlong, the sea is the sea, so this railway is called Longhai Railway. Let me first reveal the news: in the future, our Ming Dynasty will build many railways, not only through the east and west, but also through the north and south. But there is only the Longhai Railway, and only the Longhai Railway sells shares. This kind of thing only happens once, so you are lucky to be lucky enough to participate in the sale of shares of the only railway in the history of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Okay, without further ado, let's start selling the first share now." The small hammer in Su Baiyi's hand slammed heavily on the table: "The first share of railway shares, the starting price is 500,000 taels of silver, and each increase shall not be less than 10,000 taels, and the bidding begins!" ”
Three seconds, no one spoke!
The atmosphere is a little awkward!
But there are always people who will break the siege.
Zhang Shize listened to Su Baiyi's words, whether it was worth it or not, even if the 500,000 taels of silver were lost, he still quoted it, for him, if the chicken and eggs were nothing more than 500,000 taels of silver, but if Su Baiyi's words were true, then everything would be worth it.
"500,000 taels!" Zhang Shize held up the sign.
And then, there was no then!
Waited for about ten seconds and no one bid!
Su Baiyi had no choice but to drop a hammer, slammed it on the table, and said, "Okay, the first share of the railway is sold, the transaction price is 500,000 taels of silver, and the winner is No. 122 Zhang Gongzi!" ”
"By the way, I forgot to mention something just now!" Su Baiyi raised his hand and added: "Although there are thirteen shares of the railway to be sold, according to the research of our railway governor's yamen, it is not all sold out in one day, today's sold-out meeting is just the beginning, only two shares are sold." ”
Seeing that the people below began to discuss, Su Baiyi waved his hand and said, "Be quiet, I'll explain." This is not a temporary decision, the venue of the second concert has been arranged, in our railway workshop by the Yellow River, tomorrow morning this official will lead you to visit the railway workshop first, find out what the railway is, and then hold an auction! ”
"Okay, let's be quiet, the second share of railway shares, the starting price is 500,000 taels of silver, and each increase shall not be less than 10,000 taels, and the bidding begins!" Su Baiyi knocked.
"500,000 taels!" This time he didn't wait too long, and as soon as Su Baiyi's words fell, someone raised the sign first.
This person was very unexpected, it turned out to be that Gu Bancheng in Songjiang Mansion, Xu Guangqi's in-laws!
Of course, the result is the same as the first share!
Except for the first bidder, no one followed the bid!
That's it, the first auction of the first day, deserted, ended!
