Chapter 97: Auction

As the largest official house in Xiya, the household house is of course the most ideal place to hold a bidding meeting.

Different from the seating arrangements of later generations, this time the bidding meeting adopted the method of sitting opposite, more than a dozen businessmen, divided into two groups, sat in the house, and Xiao Mo stood on the rostrum with a few drawings with a smile on his face.

These drawings record the situation of thirty-three iron mines, and the data is of course confirmed by investigation, which Xiao Mo does not need to do.

After distributing the drawings and giving them a period of time to consider, Xiao Mo stood up and said, "Everyone, it's all clear!" ”

It's clear, but Pu Wen still has a lot of opinions about the regulations mentioned on the notice at the entrance of the West Ya, not only him, but even the three people of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce have a lot of complaints about it.

The reason is very simple, if it is calculated by the number of people, then the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce only has three people this time, so it can only get nine iron mines at most? So Qian Jiwen was not convinced, but after the artwork information was in hand, the three of them changed their minds.

Just because on the drawing, there are four huge iron mines, according to the drawing, these four iron mines, the storage capacity is amazing, four to six times that of other iron mines! With these four behemoths, Qian and Wen felt a little more comfortable, needless to say, these four iron mines, in the eyes of Qian and Wen, were almost in their pockets!

"Let's talk about the rules of this bidding meeting!" Xiao Mo cleared his throat, then propped his hands on the rostrum, and said, "I think everyone knows that this bidding meeting is to be participated in on a single basis!" The official will all the iron ore, are marked with the corresponding number number, such as the largest Fuyun Mountain iron mine, is the No. 1, when the bidding begins, everyone can estimate the iron ore, and then write it on paper, by the official unified collection, and then the highest price will get ......"

Xiao Mo read out the bidding rules loudly, and when he said this, the businessmen couldn't help it, and there was an uproar!

"What does this mean? Let's guess the price and see who comes out more? ”

"If you don't let us unite, what about the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce?"

"Whether to sell iron ore or not, don't sell it!"

The businessmen complained nonsense, but Xiao Mo kept watching coldly, but he didn't stop it.

After a long time, Xiao Mo said, "Enough trouble!" ”

If there is no explanation, how can the merchants make enough trouble? Hearing Xiao Mo's words, they all complained again.

"Enough!" Xiao Mo shouted, and then said to Yan Eighteen: "Trouble Yan Zhutou, please let out all the people who had opinions just now!" ”

"Yes!" Yan Eighteen responded, and then began to beckon!

Really? The merchants were silent, and then stared at Xiao Mo.

They don't believe that Xiao Mo will be so tough and drive himself away, who will buy iron ore?

Is it really the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce? Pu Wen became suspicious, because from beginning to end, Qian Jiwen and the three of them did not say a word of dissatisfaction!

Could it be that they had already discussed it? Pu Wen couldn't help but be suspicious, this hesitation, several Zhejiang businessmen were arrested and pushed and shoved, out of the West Ya!

"My lord......" Pu Wen finally couldn't help it and shouted Xiao Mo.

"Hehe......" Xiao Mo pretended not to hear, sat down with a smile, and asked, "The rest of you have no opinions, right?" ”

"Is there a ...... opinion" Huang Hao laughed, "Just a suggestion......"

"Oh?" Glancing at Huang Hao, Xiao Mo said strangely: "What suggestion?" ”

"My lord, if we only talk about the one with the highest price, aren't you afraid that we will join forces, and then we will all offer a low price, and then take a slightly higher price among the low prices?"

It seems that this person is very smart, and he thought of the loophole of the bidding meeting in such a short time! Xiao Mo nodded to Huang Hao, and after approving, Xiao Mo added: "Yes, the official hasn't finished talking just now...... In this bidding meeting, each iron mine, the official will mark a price that he is satisfied with, and the price given by everyone is not only higher than others, but also needs to meet the standard of the price in the heart of the official! Do you understand? ”

Such? It's a little too hard, isn't it? The rest of the merchants sighed again, but this time, they also learned to be obedient, just now Xiao Mo said a word, and drove away the four people, the merchants present were all transported grain, and if they didn't get the iron ore, wouldn't this money be lost in vain?

But it can't be as Xiao Mo said, the merchants guess the price by themselves, that would be too unreliable, so some people put forward opinions, hoping to change the bidding method!

This time, even Qian and Wen and others stood up and said that they hoped to bid by bidding.

Bidding is auctioning! Xiao Mo thought about it, this is not bad, so he nodded, but since it is an auction, then Xiao Mo does not have to do it himself, so he let Lin Yiye preside over it, and he closed his eyes beside him.

The tender will turn into an auction house! It wasn't until dusk that he called the No. 16 iron mine, and to see that it was not too early, Xiao Mo stopped Lin Yiye, and then announced, "Today's auction is over, the boss who didn't get the iron mine, please be early tomorrow!" ”

Seeing off the merchants, Xiao Mo looked at the transaction prices of the sixteen iron mines recorded by Lin Yiye, and nodded with satisfaction.

The average transaction price of these sixteen iron mines is more than 100,000 taels of silver, and one of the best is sold for 300,000 yuan, and these do not include the four largest iron mines!

"This piece of paper is a full 2.28 million taels!" Xiao Mo smiled at Lin Yiye. "This time, Master Li is going to have fun for a while!"

Lin Yiye also nodded, in an afternoon, he had become accustomed to the feeling of shock, because every bid from the rich businessmen made him excited!

"If I continue tomorrow, I won't come, but the price of the remaining iron ore is still a little low!" Xiao Mo's brows furrowed!

Still on the low side? Lin Yiye said secretly, you should be content! Thinking so in his heart, Lin Yiye still asked, "Is there any way Ziheng can raise the price?" ”

In fact, in the An Dynasty, the price of an iron mine cannot be regarded as high, it can only be regarded as a fair price, but Xiao Mo is not reconciled!

"How?" Xiao Mo pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up! "Those four merchants, Liang An, you wait and run, find them, and then ...... like this"

Xiao Mo attached himself to Lin Yiye's ear and whispered a few words, and after Lin Yiye heard it, he asked, "Can they agree?" ”

"Don't worry! They are regretting it now, and as long as they grasp it, they can't help but say no! "Xiao Mo is very confident!
