The first auction venue was a makeshift building in the Yuyuan!

Don't underestimate this temporary building, it looks like it's all wood on the outside, but when you enter the door and look inside, you know that this is definitely the only one of the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, spacious!

It is 40 meters wide and about 80 meters long from front to back, like a large lecture hall in college, with a tall display table in front of it and rows of seats in front of it.

There are more than 200 seats in the entire auction hall, and there is a number plate on each seat, which is neatly written in Chinese and Arabic letters, and can be seen clearly from a distance.

There are two spacious walkways in the middle of the seats for all those who enter the auction room.

In front of each seat there is a small table with apples, grapes, bananas and other fruits that are hard to see during the season, along with an identical glass cup in each cup, each with steaming tea.

In addition, dozens of fluorescent lamps were hung from the simple ceiling, illuminating the entire hall as if it were day, without a trace of darkness. The light source of these lights, which can also be said to be the power supply, comes from a makeshift engine, which is some distance away from it, and is shelved in a temporary excavated basement, so it will not be discovered by the public.

Around the two hundred brocade guards dressed in brocade clothes, holding the embroidered spring knife at their waists, they patrolled back and forth around the perimeter from time to time, not allowing any ordinary people to approach, and at the same time maintaining the order of the entire auction hall.

The land around the entrance of the auction hall was cleaned up for 100 meters, and a 20-meter-long red carpet was laid on the road closest to the entrance of the auction hall, which was particularly eye-catching.

Su Baiyi stood at the door flutteringly, opened the folding fan and stood there like a dog, still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, this auction was organized by himself, and resources from all parties were mobilized to invite the rich and noble from all over the country to participate, but no one can say how many people can come.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to be worried, and the maids who were distributed in the streets and alleys of the entire Guide Mansion came to the Yuyuan one by one holding signs, and each maid followed by a few people to a dozen people, and slowly walked towards Su Baiyi's side.

Beside Su Baiyi, there were several brocade guards, as well as Cheng Kaikai, Zhang Shize, Yuan Keli, and Zhou Shipu.

When the first scantily clad and fashionably dressed maid walked up with a sign and high boots, Cheng Kaikai was the first to walk up and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, I didn't expect you to come in person." ”

Brother Gu's name is Gu Changzuo, he is a fat man in his fifties, and he arched his hand towards Cheng Kaikai with a smile: "Brother Cheng invites, Su Zi will have a grand event, Gu Mou naturally has to be in person to appear sincere!" After speaking, he looked at Su Baiyi with small eyes, and said with a look of surprise: "Isn't this Pingdongbo who is Dingshan in the snap of his fingers, Master Su Zisu?" ”

Cheng Kaikai twisted his beard with one arm and said, "Yes! ”

Gu Changzuo arched his hand: "Gu Changzuo of Songjiang Mansion has seen Suzi!" ”

"Mr. Gu came from afar, Su didn't take good care of him, and he was guilty!" Su Baiyi's face was always filled with this humble smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

Gu Changzuo had a very good sense of him, and nodded from the bottom of his heart: "Sure enough, he is the least romantic in his life!" ”

"Lord Su!" Cheng Kaikai pointed at Gu Changzuo and said: "This Mr. Gu is amazing, nicknamed Songjiang Gu Bancheng, it is said that the entire Songjiang Mansion and half of the city are his Gu someone's property!" ”

"Awesome!" Su Baiyi was also slightly surprised.

Where is Matsue Prefecture?

O Shanghai in the future!

This guy shouldn't be an ordinary person!

"Mr. Gu, please come in quickly, I wish Mr. something successful today!" Su Bai smiled and stretched out his hand to invite Gu Changzuo into the room, and a special maid came over and led him to the seat.

After Gu Changzuo entered the room, Cheng Kaicai whispered: "Lord Su may not know Gu Bancheng, in addition to his family background, he has another layer of identity, I think Lord Su should know!" ”

"What identity?"

"He is the Taishan of Xu Ji, the only son of Xu Ge, the first assistant of the cabinet!"

"Oh?" Su Baiyi couldn't help but be in awe of Xu Guangqi, extraordinary people do extraordinary things, this Xu Ge Lao really braved the world's disapproval, and even made a family with a businessman, which is respectable and terrifying, and he really deserves to be a person with advanced ideological consciousness.

As he spoke, a second man approached.

Cheng Kaikai smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. Zhang Shuozhang, his ancestral home is Tongguan, and the people on the rivers and lakes are called Tongguan Zhang, although he is in the grain business like me, but my surname Cheng can't even compare to Mr. Zhang's finger!" ”

Zhang Shuo laughed, giving people a very good feeling, he saluted respectfully towards Su Baiyi, and said, "Zhang Shuo has seen Su Zi!" ”

"The visitor is a guest, Mr. Zhang doesn't need to be polite, please come in!"

"This is Mr. Gao Binggao, a person from Yangzhou, Nanzhili, Master Su may not know, maybe the salt in your house is sold by Mr. Gao?" Cheng Kai introduced them one by one.

"It's easy to say, Gao Bin has seen Suzi!" Gobin has a beautiful beard and looks like a cheerful person.

"This is Cao Yuanxun, a native of Xin'an, Huizhou, and our Ming Dynasty's leading ink-making master, Brother Cao's ink, not only famous in China, but also famous in Fusang and North Korea!"

"I've seen Suzi!"

"This is Kang Hui!" Cheng Kaikai's face was unusually solemn and he introduced to Su Baiyi: "Kang Jiahe Luo is also very rich!" ”

Su Baiyi habitually nodded and smiled, and said "long admiration" and passed.

Who knew that after the thin Kang Hui left, Cheng Kaikai said: "The Kang family is not only a huge rich man in Heluo, but also the first giant in our Ming Dynasty, the folk call it the God of Living Wealth, and the people in our shopping mall are called Kang Million!" ”

"What?" Su Baiyi was taken aback: "He is Kang Million?" ”

The owner of Kang Million Manor, the land of Heluo, the whole family from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, lasted for more than 400 years, and at the peak of the Kang family's land rested on Shanxi and stepped on Shandong, covering 18 counties across the country!

The Kang family's Kang Million Manor crushed 10,086 streets of the Qiao family's compound!

Such an awesome character, just flashed in front of him!

In later generations, Su Baiyi, as a businessman, if he had to withdraw an idol, it would be the Kang million family. This is a magical family, which has lasted for three dynasties, and it was not until later that the family property was confiscated by the people's Z government that it completely declined.

Su Baiyi could only silently give him thirty-two likes in his heart.

……

Of course, there are the most businessmen who come, there are not a hundred before and after, but also seventy or eighty, Cheng Kaikai really did not lose his words, he did the ultimate he could do, it seems that Su Baiyi's "favor" played a key role!

And the businessmen who came had a very good attitude, and they were the most polite to Su Baiyi and everyone.

Su Baiyi estimated that this had a lot to do with the low status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty, but from another point of view, businessmen were different from dignitaries and nobles, and their success depended on hard work and their own strength.

Cheer said, this is a group of real smart people, real social elites, their communication skills and attitudes are natural and very mature, and they will not make people feel uncomfortable.

But the officials are different, one by one, their nostrils are facing the sky, and Su Baiyi's nose is not a nose and eyes are not eyes. Su Baiyi simply didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Reciprocated the favor, the official class did not have a good attitude towards Su Baiyi, and Su Baiyi naturally would not receive him attentively.

There is also the Xungui Group, which is basically a bit of a gentleman, but it is not useless, at least when he saw Su Baiyi, he was polite, he saluted in a decent manner, and showed great respect.

It's easy!

Su Baiyi is Ping Dongbo, although it is not the kind that can be hereditary at present, but with Su Baiyi's strength and imperial favor, if the railway construction does not go wrong, it will be a matter of time before he enters the Xungui Group.

These princes and princes actually regard him as their own!

Zhang Shize was next to Su Baiyi and introduced them one by one.

"This is the prince of Wei!"

"The prince of Dingguo!"

"Hou Shizi of Anyuan!"

"Hou Shizi of Xining!"

"Xue Han, the prince of Yangwu Hou!"

……

At about the same time, a young man who looked to be in his twenties and wearing a green shirt walked over with a folding fan in a chic manner, followed by a few followers, Su Baiyi glanced at it from a distance, and snorted coldly in his heart.

He didn't know this son, but there were Mao Bijiang and Chen Zhenhui in the followers, needless to say, it was Zhu Guobi, the prince of Baoguo in Zhang Shize's mouth.

Speaking of which, he is a native of Xiayi, Henan, and a fellow countryman.

But this time, when the fellow saw the fellow, it was not tearful, almost a taste of fighting each other.

"You are Su Baiyi?" Zhu Guobi can be described as unceremoniously, he walked in front of Su Baiyi and asked directly, but he didn't know that he thought he was interrogating a prisoner just by listening to his tone!

"Yes!" Su Baiyi smiled coldly: "This lord is Su Baiyi!" ”

It's not that he is putting on a score, but this guy is too annoying, you can not call me Lord or Lord if you are a guest, but at least Mr. Su still wants it.

Come here like this and say, "You are Su Baiyi", why are you smashing the field?

"Benjue? Hehe, what a big score! Zhu Guobi shook off the overhaul: "Let me ask you, do you know who this son is?" Count or hereditary duke, which is bigger? ”

"Ben Jue will answer your first question first!" Su Baiyi smiled and said, "Who are you?" Su had no interest in knowing; As for the second question, when you become the Duke of Baoguo, come and ask me again! ”

"You ......" Zhu Guobi was about to have a seizure.

Su Baiyi's eyes moved away from him, looked at Chen Zhenhui and Mao Bijiang behind him, and snorted coldly: "Hey, isn't this Mao Gongzi and Chen Gongzi, hehe, it's really a life where they don't meet, is it true that Mao Gongzi and Chen Gongzi are also as rude as Baoguo Gongzi, and don't they know how to salute when they see Shangguan?" ”

The mountains do not turn, and every time they turn to Mao Bijiang and Chen Zhenhui, they feel that they are unlucky.

I still remember that in the winter of the previous year, I scolded Su Baiyi on the big boat for not kowtowing to the scholar, and in a blink of an eye, someone got a six-grade official and slapped him in the face, but now it's good, I haven't seen him for a few months, and he is already a second-grade member of Qinfeng Pingdongbo.
