Chapter 315 Bidding

Liao Yingzhong did not sell Guanzi, and said directly: "The name of this new type of liquor is the name of the current emperor, and it is called 'Chinese Imperial Liquid'. ”

"Chinese Imperial Liquid."

"China, the imperial liquid, or the emperor's appoint."

"Such a fine wine is indeed worthy of the word "imperial liquid."

"Just hearing the name, I want to take two sips."

After a while of whispering, the people quickly accepted the name,

The name of China, derived from the ancient Chinese nation originated in the Yellow River Basin, living in the Quartet, developed culture, long history, so the place is called China or China, and then, the territory is wide, where it belongs, it is called China, also known as China,

The word "China" was compounded by the philosophers who believed in the concept of "the unity of heaven and man" in the Wei and Jin dynasties in 300 A.D. from the two names of "China" and "Huaxia". "Hua" focuses on ethnic groups (people), meaning the Chinese ethnic group (the predecessor of the Han nationality),

I named this liquor "Chinese Imperial Liquid" in order to instill the idea of "China" in the public, for thousands of years, the dynasty has changed frequently, but the name of China has never changed.

"In Fujian Province, the reserve price of the auction of the agency right of 'Zhonghua Imperial Liquid' liquor is 1,000 Huaxia coins, the term is one year, and the amount of each price increase is not less than 100 Huaxia coins, and the bidding will start below." Just when everyone was still discussing, the voice of Liao Yingzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce who personally served as the host, sounded again,

It's not that there are no other officials in the Ministry of Commerce who can act as hosts, but Liao Yingzhong believes that as the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, he should practice various business behaviors in order to better manage the world's commerce.

As soon as Liao Yingzhong's words fell, someone raised a sign and said: "1,200 Huaxia coins." ”

"Thirteen hundred."

Fujian Province is in the south of the country, basically not affected by the war between Song and Mongolia, Song and Jin, and adjacent to the two Zhejiang, rapid economic development, strong business consciousness, has been in the Southern Song Dynasty rich areas of the front end, so there are not a few merchants who come to participate in the competition,

"Fifteen hundred."

"Sixteen hundred."

Lin Zhixiong held up the sign for the first time and shouted: "Two thousand Chinese coins." ”

After a little silence in the venue, another person said: "Two thousand two hundred." ”

After the auction price rushed past 2,000 Chinese coins, the speed of the auction slowed down significantly, and most of the bidders in front began to hesitate, although most of them were optimistic about the market and prospects of the Chinese Imperial Liquid, but only the agency power would cost 2,000 yuan, and they also felt that they had no bottom in their hearts, not to mention that these people knew that Lin Zhixiong's business power in Fujian was not bad, and it was difficult to compete with it, so the number of times he raised his cards became less and less.

When someone called for 3,100 guan, Lin Zhixiong and Zheng Huchen next to him discussed it slightly, and then raised the sign again: "4,000 guan." ”

"Childe, it seems that this Boss Lin is bound to gain agency power in Fujian Province."

"Well, Fujian is its base camp, and judging from the sales of monosodium glutamate, this Lin Zhixiong should have tasted the sweetness, Xiao Tian, why did Zheng Huchen come."

Xiao Tiandao: "Yes, Childe, they came to me this morning, hoping to cooperate with us on the OEM of farm tools, and asked me if Childe was free, saying that they wanted to meet you." ”

"I thought he had switched to trade." I laughed, "Okay, let's make an appointment with them tomorrow night." ”

The production of farm tools is not complicated, Zheng Huchen has the largest iron workshop on the entire Jiangnan East Road, even in the country, it is one of the best, in some aspects, the production process of Suzhou iron even exceeds the weapons workshop of the imperial court, Song Wuxin's big ship design drawings have been completed, and the production of parts and components related to iron is looking for partners, I think Zheng Huchen's workshop may have this ability,

After careful consideration, the other merchants who bid for the agency right of Fujian Road finally gave up holding the card, and Lin Zhixiong obtained the exclusive agency right of "China Royal Liquid" in Fujian Province for one year at a high price of 4,000 yuan.

Liao Yingzhong continued after announcing the success of Lin Zhixiong's bid: "The following is the agency auction of Liangzhejiang West Road, with a reserve price of 3,000 Huaxia coins. ”

The governance of the two Zhejiang West Road is in Lin'an, which is the richest road in the Southern Song Dynasty, according to the terminology of later generations, the GDP of the two Zhejiang West Road accounts for more than forty percent of the GDP of the whole country, from the reserve price of this auction, the starting price of the two Zhejiang West Road is also the highest, three times that of Fujian Province, and the area under its jurisdiction is far less than Fujian Province,

The fierce bidding of Liangzhejiang West Road can be described as the most in this auction, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word miserable, starting from the low price of 3,000 Chinese coins, almost without pause, it was shouted to 5,000 by many merchants.

Compared with the merchants in Fujian Province, the commercial houses in Lin'an City have two obvious differences, first of all, they have a much better understanding of this liquor than other merchants, before the auction, everyone in the business circles of Lin'an City has tasted the Chinese imperial liquid in the Tongle Building, although the price is very high, but for more than a month, the scene of waiting in the Tongle Building has continued to this day, only this point, these merchants are all red-eyed; Another difference is that most of the merchants in Lin'an are inextricably linked with officials, although the imperial court did not explicitly stipulate whether officials can do business, but the emperors of the Song Dynasty in the past dynasties did not care about this, arbitrarily followed, to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the merchants and officials in Lin'an City have long been closely combined, merchants in the front, officials in the back, so the strength of these merchants is not weak, far from the merchants of other provinces can be compared,

Although it can not be compared with the Pu family in Quanzhou, but Lin Zhixiong in the business field in Fujian Province is a tycoon level figure, even so, in Lin'an, where businessmen gather, can only be regarded as the middle of the upper reach, has always wanted to transfer the key business of his firm to Lin'an, but has never found a suitable entry point,

"Eight thousand Chinese coins." Lin Zhixiong's voice was not loud, but he did not drag the mud and water,

This made many bidders dumbfounded, and their eyes focused on Lin Zhixiong, and after a long time, another voice sounded: "Eight thousand and one hundred guan." Then someone shouted, "Eight thousand two hundred." It's just that the voices of these two people already make people feel a little trembling, obviously lacking confidence,

Lin Zhixiong smiled and held up the sign: "Nine thousand runs." ”

"Nine thousand."

"It's really nine thousand."

"Is Lao Lin sure?"

This time, the cold field lasted longer, and Liao Yingzhong saw that no one raised a sign for a while, so she said loudly: "Nine thousand Huaxia coins for the first time." ”

"Nine thousand Chinese coins for the second time."

The venue was silent, nervous, excited, whether it was the participants, the spectators, or the staff, there were only these two feelings, everyone held their breath, and they all thought to themselves, "Is this how the hole cards are revealed?" ”

Liao Yingzhong's heart was also extremely excited, but he had always been calm, his face was still the same, and he couldn't see half a clue, just when Liao Yingzhong was about to shout out nine thousand guan for the third time, a hoarse voice remembered from the corner: "Nine thousand five hundred guan." ”

And with the eyes of the people, I also looked at the one who spoke up,

"This guy is bidding for the first time." Yuan Jian's hearing was amazing, and he whispered in my ear, but before I had time to see this person's appearance clearly, I only heard Lin Zhixiong quickly say: "Ten thousand Huaxia coins." ”

"Wow, I've broken through the 10,000 mark." And all the people thought together,

The man in the corner seemed to think about it, and the hoarse voice sounded again after a moment: "Ten thousand and five hundred." ”

Lin Zhixiong didn't seem to give the man room to think at all, and immediately responded: "Twelve thousand Huaxia coins." ”

From 3,000 to 5,000 times, the time is very short, the atmosphere is also very warm, and the onlookers feel very enjoyable.

Will that person continue to raise cards, will the price be 12,500 yuan?

Just as everyone was speculating, Liao Yingzhong's voice sounded: "12,000 Huaxia coins for the first time." Only then did everyone react, it turned out that the critical point had been reached, and the person did not continue to follow up.

"Twelve thousand Chinese coins for the second time."

"12,000 Chinese coins for the third time, sold, congratulations to the No. 16 bidder for obtaining the exclusive agency rights of Zhonghua Imperial Liquid on Liangzhejiang West Road for a period of one year."

When participating in the auction enter the venue, each person will get a wooden card with a number, which is also the code of the participant, Lin Zhixiong's wooden card is 16, and people who know him know that he is Lin Zhixiong, and people who don't know, such as Liao Yingzhong, will identify the bidder by the number.

"Ah, it's over."

"Isn't this old Lin crazy?"

"I think it's worth it, if I had so much money, I would have fought for it."

With the help of Zheng Huchen, a wealthy man in Suzhou, Lin Zhixiong successfully obtained the right to sell the Chinese Imperial Liquid on Liangzhejiang West Road, Jiangnan East Road and Fujian Province at a price several times higher than the auction reserve price.

In his earliest plan, there are two Zhejiang East Road and Huainan East Road agency matters, and then Zheng Huchen carefully discussed, I feel that I am afraid that I can't chew it out, so I didn't go all out to fight for it, the agency of these two places was finally obtained by other merchants at the auction price of 7,000 and 2,500 Huaxia coins respectively, which obtained the agency of Huainan East Road is the person who sits in the corner, from the information I got after the meeting, this firm is called sprout,

As for the export business of liquor, it was obtained by Quanzhou Pu's trading house without any suspense, although the export tariff of the Chinese imperial liquid was as high as 1.5 times the price of the goods, and the auction price was also all the way up, but Pu's representative of the Pu's firm did not hesitate to take it down again and again, in the export trade business, the Pu's family is dominant, and there is indeed no competitor who can be compared. From the performance of the Pu firm in this auction, it can be seen that its power is huge, no wonder it was once able to account for as much as one-tenth of the tax revenue of the entire Song Dynasty.

As the meeting progressed, Liao Yingzhong, who was the protagonist of this auction, had more and more smiles on her face, just these agency fees were an extremely large amount of income, not to mention the high profits brought by the sale of Chinese Imperial Liquid and the normal taxes in sales.

Regardless of Liao Yingzhong's political orientation, as the Minister of Commerce, he will naturally be happy about his own performance.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to Lion Peak, there's still a lively scene waiting there."

"Lively, brother, what's so lively, why I don't know."

"Ling'er, I only found out about this in the morning, and someone will challenge Wenzhang in the backyard of Shifeng at night."

"Xiao Wenzhang." Fang Ling said with a smile, "With Wenzhang's martial arts, there are still people who will challenge him, brother, how old is that person." ”

"It's about a year or two older than Wen Zhang."

"Ah, so small, I thought he was an adult master."
