Chapter 45: Returning

As the behind-the-scenes boss of this auction, Zhao Zhen and his family made a lot of money tonight. At the same time, there is another person who can be regarded as the big winner of this auction, and that is this Chu Yuanwai, whose full name is Chu Suiliang.

It is said that this Chu Suiliang got a "calligraphy and painting" with the seal of the current emperor in the name of donating 100,000 yuan. Moreover, what happened at the auction venue, after the Times followed up and reported the whole process, he also attracted much attention because he was the first private donation in history, and won the hearts of the people, especially the flood-stricken areas along the Yellow River. Chu Suiliang did not let go of this great opportunity for publicity, he took the hot iron in an exclusive interview with the Times reporter, and announced in a high-profile manner that he would take the four words "honesty and trustworthiness" presented by the Qizhen Pavilion as the motto of his Chu Ji Grain Store, and since then it has been renamed "Integrity Grain Store". And it declares to actively respond to the business integrity alliance of the queen's mother, ensure quality and quantity, and never deceive.

He beat this combination punch, borrowed the momentum, and refueled, and soon increased the size of his grain stack several times. And many years later, he also relied on his identity as a grain predator to enter the aristocratic society of the Great Song Dynasty from the original rich family, thus completing a qualitative leap.

Of course, that's all for later!

Let's say that after Chu Suiliang's father and daughter left, the auction venue was not deserted because of this. On the contrary, after this incident, everyone's enthusiasm for the auction is unprecedentedly high. Although the necklace of "love is stronger than gold" was not sold at a sky-high price of 300,000 yuan in the end, this price has left an imprint in the hearts of everyone, which also led to the high price of the things auctioned later.

The auction lasted for an hour, during which a lot of jewelry collected from all over the world and jewelry made by Zhang Rou asked the jewelry master to be made were auctioned, and the auction was brought to an end while collecting everyone's pockets.

At this time, Huang Xing, who was rotated to rest, also returned to the high platform again.

Huang Xing: "Thank you again for enjoying the light!" This is the end of this auction, and the last auction item will be auctioned, which is the artifact of your dreams. This artifact is an immortal work that took five years to complete by the Royal Academy under the guidance of the Holy One, and because of its function is to shine light, and the Holy One uses the thunder and lightning as an energy source, so the Holy Lord named it the electric light!

As you can see, the streets outside and the pavilions are lit by this electric lamp, with this electric lamp, everyone no longer has to endure the pain of smoke and fire, and there is no need to worry about the danger of the candle, you can enjoy the wonderful life as day in every dark night!

Of course, for all of you, this electric lamp is not just a simple replacement for oil lamps, as a unique magical invention in this world, you will be the first witnesses of it. Therefore, those who can enjoy such a privilege must also have an identity worthy of it!

Electric lamps are extremely difficult to make, their quantities are extremely limited, and the electricity used as an energy source for electric lamps is also difficult to collect. Therefore, the number of auctions is only 100, and each person can only buy a maximum of 10 pieces. If you want to fill every part of your home with lights, I can only regret to tell you that this will have to wait until the next auction, please understand!

Having said all this, I will finally announce the rules of this auction, and it is not too early now, in order to save time, I decided to auction in groups of 10. Now give everyone a stick of incense time to discuss, you can bid independently, or you can bid together, everyone, please do it! ”

Huang Xing thought about it very carefully, but for everyone here, this is simply a superfluous move. Because there are those big people in the DPRK and China, and no one else has a ** to play with them at all, so everyone consciously leaves this performance time to those big men who are at the top of the Great Song Dynasty.

Huang Xing looked at the quiet scene below, not only a little worried, but also afraid that the enthusiasm of the people at the scene would not be high, which would affect the auction of the finale. The emperor has just promoted himself, if he doesn't get it right the first time, then his future is worrying!

However, although he was worried, there was nothing he could do. No matter how you say it, he is just a small five-rank court, this is still a false position, and it can't be compared with the great families below who will make the Great Song tremble if they stomp their feet.

The scheduled time soon came, Huang Xing walked up and said, "I see that you have discussed it almost below, let's start the auction now!" The starting price of this first set of electric lights is 10,000 yuan, and the price increase is not limited, and the auction begins! ”

As soon as Huang Xing's words fell, Yan Chengyu stood up and shouted loudly at his brother's signal: "Fifty thousand!" ”

Originally, someone was asking for a price, and Huang Xing was secretly happy in his heart, but when he saw that it was the son of the prime minister of the dynasty, he chuckled in his heart again, thinking that they were the first to ask, who else would dare to follow?

However, this relationship with the minister is really not as simple as he thought, Yan Shu as the prime minister is indeed an existence above ten thousand people under one person, but it does not mean that there is no dare to contradict. The most obvious manifestation of this is undoubtedly the privy envoy Zhang Yaozuo, because he knows that the emperor absolutely does not want him to wear the same pants as the prime minister, so he simply fights against Yan Shu to the end.

No, before Yan Chengyu's strength passed, Zhang Yaozuo's son Zhang Shanfu shook his fan, stood up gracefully, and arched his hand towards Huang Xing before saying lightly: "This kind of divine object, only 50,000 guan is too demeaning, although our Zhang family's financial resources are limited, but we are willing to pay 100,000 guan!" ”

"Pretending to be a forced car! I still have a big fan in winter, and I'm not afraid of freezing myself to death! Yan Chengyu muttered to himself, and then discussed it with his brother in a low voice, and said with a big grin: "What is 100,000 guan!" If you don't have money, don't come out! Our Yan Mansion bid 200,000 yuan! If you Zhang family can still follow, let's give you this first group! ”

As soon as Yan Chengyu said this, the other people on the scene were very surprised, although everyone had a lot of complaints about Yan Shu being the prime minister for many years, even if Zhang Yaozuo and Yan Shu did not deal with it, Yan Shu was tolerant in many places, why is his son so aggressive today? Could it be that you have been holding it for too long, and this one has exploded all at once?

However, the two of you can pinch it, why drag everyone to be unlucky together! You said that your first group has raised the price so high, do those of us who are behind the queue dare to buy low prices? Because of this, everyone looked at the Yan brothers and was a little unhappy.

And Zhang Shanfu listened to Yan Chengyu's provocative words, paused a little, and once again returned to his breezy appearance, and said with a smile: "Yan is high in power, and the Yan family is rich, so naturally it is not comparable to my Zhang family!" Since Brother Chengyu is determined to win, he has to be an adult! ”

After Zhang Shanfu retreated, there was no need for others to raise the price regardless of public or private affairs, so the first set of electric lights fell into the hands of the Yan brothers at a price of 200,000 yuan.

It is said that the matter will come to an end here, everyone looks at Yan Shu's face, and they just treat this brother as an ignorant nonsense. However, in the next few auctions, the two brothers frequently raised their prices, which made everyone very annoyed. Although everyone knew that they were not qualified to buy again, Huang Xing did not say anything to stop them, and Zhang Shanfu, who was the most unpleasant, did not speak out, and the others for some reason were not good to directly confront their two brothers, so they could only silently endure the heartache of having a deficit in their pockets.

After another half an hour, all the ten lights were auctioned off, and with the Yan brothers taking the lead, the other prices were almost the same. One hundred electric lamps completed the maiden sale at a sky-high price, which made Zhao Zhen, who was dressed as a plainclothes person in the attic box, happy, and also made Wang Shenli, who was next to him, swear to work overtime on the spot, and strive to make more electric lights to help Zhao Zhen make more money.

The auction, which lasted an hour and a half, was finally over, and even in this cold winter, Huang Xing was still sweating. He casually glanced at a certain box in the attic, and after a while, he said, "I'm going to say goodbye to everyone here!" All the friends who have returned with a full load, if necessary, you can apply for an escort outside the gate, and the Pavilion will escort you home safely for free. In addition, all the friends who bid for the electric light, the pavilion has registered your information, and will send installers to your home to arrange it in the near future, and I hope you will go back to determine the location first. That's it for today, the next auction will be announced separately, and everyone is welcome to come back again! I won't be far away! ”

……

After a while, Huang Xing took the statistical table and hurried to the box where Zhao Zhen was.

Huang Xing bent over and said to Zhao Zhen: "Weichen Huang Xing, I've seen the emperor!" I've seen the Queen! ”

Zhao Zhen helped him slightly, smiled and said, "Aiqing is exempt!" You did a good job tonight, but I didn't expect you to ask the Yan and Zhang families to help you, I was very surprised! ”

Huang Xing was stunned for a moment before saying, "Thank you for the emperor's compliment!" However, Wechen doesn't quite understand what you mean? Please make it clear to the emperor! ”

Zhao Zhen: "What? Didn't you deliberately arrange Yan Xiang's son and Master Zhang's son today? ”

Huang Xing shook his head: "Weichen thought you sent Weichen to help!" Your Majesty, what's wrong? ”

"Ugh!" Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "It's okay!" Tell me about tonight's harvest! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Huang Xing immediately took out his notebook and said: "In this auction, excluding electric lights, a total of 108 peerless treasures were sold, including jewelry, famous books and paintings and other items, and the preliminary estimate is that all of them are worth more than 6 million yuan. However, the specific profit is still being calculated, and Wechen will present you with a detailed report later, please wait for the emperor! ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "You can report these things directly to the queen!" Also, you have to do a good job of account books, and not a single copper plate of taxes should be missed. Although this is the business of the royal family, the rules of the court must be followed, understand? ”

Huang Xing: "Weichen understands! Please rest assured! ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Zhen nodded, then looked at Zhang Rou and asked, "Empress, do you have anything else to explain?" If not, let's go back to the palace first! ”

Zhang Rou nodded: "The emperor will wait a moment, the concubine is explaining a few words to him!" ”

Huang Xing: "Please give me orders!" ”

Zhang Rou: "You are still very relieved that the palace is still very relieved, the palace will talk about the donation, you have to take it to heart, and ensure that every copper plate must really be in the hands of the victims, if anyone dares to fill their own pockets, the palace will not be spared!" ”

Huang Xing: "Weichen obeys the will of Niangniangyi!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Okay! I'll go back to the palace with the queen first, you're working hard and handling the follow-up things! ”

Huang Xing: "Weichen sends the emperor!" Congratulations to the mother! ”

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Zhao Zhen said to Wang Shenli: "Don't be so stupid, it's getting late, I will send someone to send you back." ”

Wang Shenli's mind was still full of churning copper plates, and before he woke up, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen should go back with you!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Do you think I need you to accompany me?" ”

Wang Shenli's eyes wandered back and forth between Zhao Zhen and Zhang Rou a few times, and he suddenly came to his senses, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "Oh, mom! Your Majesty, the minister suddenly remembered that there were still some experiments that had not been completed, so the minister withdrew first! (To be continued.) )
