Chapter 388: The Difficulties of the Luoyang Auction

For Liu Xin, he originally planned to hold an auction in Luoyang, but due to various reasons, such as no venue, no time, no energy and other reasons, Liu Xin has almost given up the idea of holding an auction in Luoyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But now it's good, He Jin actually sent it to the door himself, which made Liu Xin have the idea of holding an auction again, after all, this is a good way to make money, and even if it is handed over to He Jin to hold it with full authority, Liu Xin's prestige will definitely not be less, after all, Liu Xin belongs to the "supplier", and it is also the kind of monopoly "supplier", so in the final analysis, all the big head is occupied by Liu Xin, even if He Jin does his best, he can only drink a mouthful of soup from Liu Xin's hands.

Therefore, how could Liu Xin miss such a good thing, after all, he didn't have to spend any effort and energy, he could give the benefits while lying down, what else was Liu Xin not satisfied with?

Of course there is, Liu Xin thought that since He Jin was already a big wrongdoer, it was not impossible for Liu Xin to take advantage of He Jin again, anyway, He Jin had suffered such a big loss, and there was no problem with a small loss.

And Liu Xin is eyeing He Jin's identity - the general.

As a general, although He Jin is obviously responsible for managing the military power of the Han Dynasty, in fact, everyone knows that He Jin can only manage the army in Luoyang City, but He Jin has the most elite and well-equipped troops in the Han Dynasty - the Imperial Forest Army.

And now Liu Xin was gifted 500 Imperial Forest Army by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Xin originally planned to discuss this matter with He Jin, hoping that He Jin could transfer the elite of the Imperial Forest Army to himself, after all, although the Imperial Forest Army is strong, but now the Han is terminally ill, and there must be some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Royal Forest Army, or some soldiers, or the kind of family members who come in to mix the merits, so Liu Xin doesn't want the Royal Forest Army transferred to his hands is a group of "uncles", so Liu Xin is ready to hemorrhage, Even if it is bribing He Jin with more good things, he must let He Jin hand over those elite Imperial Forest Army to himself.

But it's good now, Liu Xin can use this matter as an additive, and Liu Xin also believes that He Jin will not care about these Royal Forest Army.

Therefore, after Liu Xin figured out the joints, he said to He Jin with a smile: "General, speaking of this auction, in fact, this king began to think about this matter on the way from Yizhou to Luoyang, after all, you also know the results of the auction in Yizhou, the general, the response is very good, and this is only held in Chengdu, Yizhou, you must know that Yizhou originally belongs to the remote area of the Han Dynasty, Chengdu is the hinterland of Yizhou, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient, even so, this king held 1 that auction in Chengdu City, It also attracted almost all the wealthy families in Yizhou, rich businessmen, and even the famous merchant family in Jingzhou came thousands of miles to participate in the auction held by the king, and the final auction ended successfully, and the turnover of the final auction is also obvious to all, and we all know that the king made a lot of money in this auction. ”

He Jin nodded with a smile and said: "Lord Wang, you are right, when He heard that the auction you held in Chengdu City was a great success, he knew that Lord Wang, you are definitely a character, and He also had the urge to meet with Lord Wang, but unfortunately He had to be stationed in Luoyang and could not make the trip, until He heard that Lord Wang You received a summons from His Majesty, and when you came to Luoyang, He was very happy, originally He also planned to visit Lord Wang after he entered Luoyang, But because of the busy official business these days, the army in Luoyang City is in the time to change the guard, so He can't find time to visit the prince at a certain time, fortunately, today is He Mou's rest day, so He Mou hurried to visit the prince. “

Of course, Liu Xin knew that He Jin was complimenting himself, after all, although Liu Xin had just come to Luoyang, he also knew that He Jin, the general, was a hands-off shopkeeper, and he didn't care about the army in Luoyang City, or He Jin was self-aware, after all, He Jin, a general who was born as a butcher, was completely unworthy of his name, and could even be said to be a corpse vegetarian meal, so He Jin didn't know how to manage the army and train the army at all, so He Jin was playing with himself all day long. As for the management of the army, it was naturally handed over to his own subordinates.

So He Jin's so-called lack of time to visit Liu Xin is complete nonsense.

However, Liu Xin could only complain silently in his heart, after all, it was impossible for him to say it directly and slap He Jin in the face.

Hitting people without slapping their faces, this is an unwritten rule of the rivers and lakes, not to mention that Liu Xin now wants to talk about cooperation with He Jin, and by the way, he has to pit He Jin.

So Liu Xin just smiled and continued: "The general is busy with military affairs, and this king knows it very well, after all, the nearly 10,000 soldiers in Luoyang City are all in charge of the general, so the general can't take care of chatting with this king, and this king is also very understanding, so we will expose this matter, and this king should have a good chat with the general about the auction in Luoyang City." ”

He Jin also nodded with a smile, and said happily: "Okay, okay, this matter has been revealed, and please tell the prince about this auction, after all, He has never heard of the prince, you plan to hold an auction in Luoyang." ”

Liu Xin smiled, and saw that He Jin really took the bait, so he pretended to sigh helplessly, and said: "Oh, I won't hide this matter from you, general, things are like this, originally this king was going to find a suitable time to hold an auction in Luoyang, after all, when I came to Luoyang from Chengdu this time, I brought a lot of rare treasures brought back from the Western Regions by this king, and after offering to His Majesty, I can still support this king to hold an auction of sufficient scale, but this can be regarded as this king's ill-thought-out, I thought that with the reputation of this king in the Han Dynasty, the auction held in Luoyang should be able to attract more wealthy families to participate, and at that time, whether it is the scale or grade, or a little more cheesy, this king will be able to make more money than the auction held in Chengdu. ”

He Jin nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Of course, Luoyang is the imperial capital, and it is also the center of the Han Dynasty, the most powerful family in the Han Dynasty, the wealthy businessmen and magnates are all in Luoyang, if the prince wants to hold an auction in Luoyang, it will definitely attract a large number of rich and powerful participants, and then the turnover will definitely be several times higher than the auction in the city of Chengdu, Yizhou, and it will definitely make you make a lot of money." ”

Liu Xin also smiled when he saw He Jin so cooperative, it seems that it is very simple to fool He Jin this time, after all, He Jin is now playing a trick on himself again.

So Liu Xin struck while the iron was hot, continued to pretend to sigh, and complained to He Jin: "General, you are also an understanding person, similar to what this king thought at the time, but after this king came to Luoyang, when he was ready to organize this Luoyang auction with his own hands, he found that what he thought was a little too simple and too natural, so this king has basically given up holding this Luoyang auction until now, and is ready to go back to Chengdu to prepare well, and when he has the opportunity to hold this Luoyang auction in the future." ”

He Jin looked at Liu Xin with some puzzlement, and said with some surprise: "Oh, may I ask the prince what happened here, how did it become like this, it stands to reason that with your strength and ability, as well as your identity and status, you can hold an auction in Luoyang City." ”

Liu Xin shook his head with a wry smile, and said to He Jin a little helplessly: "General, you should also know that the Chengdu auction held by this king has attracted a large number of participants, so this king estimates that if the auction is held in Luoyang this time, it will definitely attract more participants than the Chengdu auction, and this king thinks that no matter how you say it, there should be more than five times as many participants." ”

He Jin nodded, as Liu Xin said, if Liu Xin held an auction in Luoyang this time, it would be a relatively conservative estimate to attract five times the number of participants in the Chengdu auction, if according to He Jin's idea before he came to visit Liu Xin, it was very possible to even ten times the participants of the Chengdu auction, so now He Jin also vaguely guessed why Liu Xin gave up holding this Luoyang auction.

When Liu Xin saw He Jin's thoughtful look, he knew that He Jin must have guessed what he wanted to say, so Liu Xin stopped selling with He Jin, and said to He Jin directly: "General, you should have guessed why this king would give up holding this Luoyang auction, the reason is actually very simple, mainly because of the venue, after all, so many participants came to participate in this auction held by this king, and this king is embarrassed to turn away some participants because of the venue. After all, there is no inequality, so this is a matter of public anger and offending people, so this king decided to temporarily give up this Luoyang auction and wait for the long term to consider. Come to Luoyang to make up this auction after coming to Luoyang. ”

People do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, this is a long-term big problem, He Jin also expressed his deep opinion of this, after all, He Jin now has a lot of people, and these people are also more than one like to fight for power and profit, and because these people are not famous, so it can be said that they are standing on the same starting line, so no matter He Jin promotes that person, other people will complain secretly or explicitly, after all, these people feel that they are about the same strength as the person who was promoted and made a fortune, why can that person be promoted and make a fortune, And they can't go any further.

This made He Jin, who had just made a sudden fortune and had no experience in commanding his subordinates, a little headache, after all, He Jin felt that no matter what he did, someone would question his decision, and think that his decision was a little thin.

So He Jin understands what Liu Xin means, in case this auction attracts a large number of participants, and only some participants can enter this auction because of the venue, which will make those participants who have no way to enter the auction have resentment towards Liu Xin, after all, these participants rushed to participate in this auction, they must all have the ability to participate in this auction, after all, everyone knows that the auction held by Liu Xin is very high-grade, without a suitable identity and sufficient net worth, Why are you so embarrassed to come to this auction?

Therefore, these auction participants who were rejected by Liu Xin because of the venue will definitely compare themselves with those who were able to enter the auction, and it will inevitably appear that "someone from a certain family has entered the auction, and I think that a certain person from my family can't enter the auction, Liu Xin, do you look down on me?" Such rumors, even Liu Xin will have to worry about it at that time, which will affect Liu Xin's reputation in the Han Dynasty.

After all, no one wants to be discredited as a poor and rich person.

So He Jin felt that he understood Liu Xin's decision very well now, so he said to Liu Xin with a smile: "Lord Wang, He Mou understands your decision very much now, after all, those people from the big family are lower than the other, and they are self-righteous, and they feel that this big man is the most amazing in the world, if the prince has to turn away some of the participants of the big family because of the venue of the auction, these big families will naturally run like a pack of mad dogs to blame the prince, thinking that you look down on them. At that time, no matter what you say, this group of self-righteous children of the family will feel that you are wrong, and they are absolutely right, after all, this group of mad dogs of the family has the ability to reverse black and white, not to mention that this also gives them the opportunity to make trouble. ”

Liu Xin could feel He Jin's resentment against the power of the family, so he said smoothly: "Yes, the general, what you said is so right, you also know that this king has just returned from the Western Regions, I originally heard my father say that my Han clan used to be polite and polite, and the people who were polite and reasonable, but now this king has come to Luoyang to take a closer look, these members of the family have long since lost their former appearance, all of them are roosters and dog thieves, and they are the same in front of them, and the same in the back, while accusing others, It's ridiculous to be doing worse things than others on the one hand, and to have this double standard for certain things. ”

He Jin's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that Liu Xin was also a fellow believer, and he was as hostile to the power of the family as he was, so he said with some joy: "Lord Wang, you and I are really heroes, and He also thinks that these children of the family are all human-faced and beast-hearted, which is despicable, so He is also ashamed to be with these scumbags." ”

When Liu Xin heard He Jin say this, he couldn't help but complain silently in his heart, obviously those big families don't want to pay attention to you He Jin, but now He Jin You say that you don't want to be with these big families, it's a little ridiculous.

However, Liu Xin's acting still has to continue, so Liu Xin spread his hands and pretended to be "I don't have anything to do" and said to He Jin: "Hey, now the general, you also know why this king doesn't want to hold this Luoyang auction, so the general, you will die, although this Luoyang auction is also willing to hand over to the general to you to be responsible, but this king I don't want to see the general You also receive some villains because of this." ”

Of course, Liu Xin knew that it was impossible for He Jin to give up this opportunity, so he simply made a move to retreat into advance, wanting to test He Jin's true thoughts.

As soon as He Jin heard that Liu Xin intended to hand over the auction to himself, He Jin suddenly came to his senses, and said directly: "Where is it, you are too worried, if you are really willing to hand over this Luoyang auction to the next person in charge, I guarantee that I can hold a high-grade auction for the prince, and I really have a way to solve the venue of this auction." ”

Liu Xin smiled and nodded, the fish had already taken the bait.

So, Liu Xin pretended to be very surprised, and said to He Jin: "General, do you really have a way to solve the problem of the venue of this Luoyang auction, this king estimates that if you really want to accommodate those participants, you need at least a venue that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, this is not a small place." ”

Although in later generations, any county-level school can hold a collective activity of more than 1,000 people, but in the current Han Dynasty, it is not easy to hold a thousand-level auction, the main reason is that these participants in the auction are all members of some families, no matter how you say it, you have to leave a place for these participants in the auction, as for those big people who are of enough level, they have to set aside a VIP area, and this is still without considering the attendants of the participants. After all, if the participants of the Luoyang auction entered the auction with two attendants like the participants of the Chengdu auction, then the auction would require more space.

Therefore, Liu Xin is still very skeptical of He Jin's boasting of Haikou, after all, just like the Chunyi Building that Liu Xin is going to renovate, it is somewhat similar to the design of Yizhou Auction House, which is divided into upper and lower spaces, and the upper space can overlook the lower space as a private room, and the middle of the lower space will be the stage for performances, of course, you can also understand the auction table in the auction.

You must know that the renovated Chunyi Building, that is, the maximum number of people that Yizhou Restaurant can accommodate is only about 200 people, and this is still based on the most ideal situation, such as the situation that the private rooms on the second floor are full.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, maybe it is very simple to establish an auction house that can accommodate 500 people, but it is a technical problem to establish an auction house that can accommodate 600 people, and when it comes to an auction house that can accommodate 1,000 people, even Liu Xin feels very troublesome, after all, the auction house is not a stadium, as long as the guarantor can sit down, but to try to ensure that each participant can observe the auction with the naked eye, after all, there is no computer tablet to assist participants in understanding the auction items in this era. It is also impossible to turn the auction house into a vegetable market, and more than 1,000 people ran to the auction table to study the auction items...

Therefore, Liu Xin was full of doubts about He Jin's guarantee, after all, in Luoyang City, this kind of thousand-person auction venue may only be the Imperial Palace...

PS: The second more is still with fate.
