Chapter 140: Auction? Grab the money! (6) 4 more!
What followed was a brief chill.
Zheng Ruilin was not in a hurry, he believed that with the planning of the entire team, no matter how unhappy these Manchu nobles were, he would have to buy them.
Even if the situation is now chaotic and uncontrollable due to the intervention of the foreign powers, the work handed down from their ancestors still has to be done well at all.
If it were to deal with ordinary people, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers would have been called in by now, and they would have come in to arrest people and seize books. But the people did not dare and could not. Not to mention Yang Hao's identity, this is the American Concession, and their people don't have the courage to drive in. In addition, Li Hongzhang actually chose to agree when he got the news in advance. No one can guess what is hidden here.
The involvement is too great, and no one dares to act rashly.
Pu Wei was silent for a while, and ordered someone to raise a sign and shout: "Twenty thousand taels!" β
The rules of this auction are written in the booklet. The minimum price is 10,000 taels at a time, and there is no upper limit. If you go down a few hundred or thousands, you will not be able to open your mouth.
At the beginning of him, the others couldn't sit still, no matter how many silver tickets they had in their pockets, they hurried to bid. Almost everyone shouts that one round is the minimum, there is no way, if anyone doesn't do that, they will know that it is powerful when they look back and settle accounts after the autumn.
Yang Hao is also bad enough. When he sent the invitation, he had already fully calculated the number of heads, and among the people present, there were at least twenty or thirty people who had the status of a grandmaster or were officials in the court. Even if everyone increases the price once, it will be 300,000 taels away!
And an even more ruthless move is that businessmen like Boss Yan have taken advantage of the low price to start helping!
A businessman who can be a million-tael silver-level businessman. The head is not generally flexible. They all saw it. This auction is the first to pit people. It must be the Qing royal family and high-ranking officials.
No matter who it is, if you are here today, if you don't show it on key things, you won't be able to tell you anything in the future.
Especially those Hanchens, who are actually full of bitter water, but they have already mixed in, so they have to show their loyalty. Obviously it was disgusting, and he had to pinch his nose to endure it.
To talk about this year. Those who can make big deals are also well-read. The Manchu Qing Dynasty's more than 200 years of literary prison involved countless people. As a Han Chinese, I don't dare to say it on my lips, I don't dare to talk about it behind my back, and I don't necessarily have no resentment in my heart. But if you have resentment, you don't dare to attack, and on the surface, you have to lick your face and pretend to be obedient. This kind of grievance, that is not ordinary discomfort.
Today's occasion can be described as a once-in-a-century encounter, and you can blatantly disgust the Qing court and vent your anger. By the way, they can also sell personal favors. Even if the drum is really passed on to their own hands. Spend a lot of money to buy it, and it's a big deal to give it to the imperial court. Why do you have to have a commendation from above?
Go back to Big Boss Yang. I guess there has to be an explanation.
But they basically don't have to worry about being cheated, and they understand it. Pu Wei has just started, and the other flag people are still hesitating, and a group of businessmen and shopkeepers are scrambling to shout!
"Seventy thousand taels!"
"We're out of eighty thousand!"
"Ninety thousand! Oh no, a hundred thousand! 100,000 taels! β
"120,000 ......!"
The people sent by the Hanchen didn't dare to slack off, so they had to hurry up, didn't they? Hurriedly shouted. This stormy shouting passed, and the price was suddenly shouted to 1.43 million taels!
One million taels!
Including Pu Wei, all the representatives of the banner people, and all the representatives of Hanchen, none of them had a good-looking face.
With such a large sum of money, none of them can afford it themselves. But at this point, it doesn't work if you don't come out. As a result, many people were forced to be helpless and hurriedly connected with each other. Regardless of whether there was a contradiction before, you must first calm down the scene in front of you.
Looking at their sweaty and sallow faces, Zheng Ruilin was relieved of hatred and anger! You also have today!
At the same time, he secretly mocked in his heart: "Even if you are done with your work, it will be empty in the end." Do you really think there are only ten sets of books? At least a hundred sets! Nowadays, there are several sets in the school at the Mashan base in Rizhao alone, and anyone can borrow them! Want to block? That's a dream! β
And he also knows the follow-up means. In this auction, how much silver can be obtained is secondary, and the key is an advertising promotion meeting with unprecedented specifications!
Word of the return spread, and everyone will know that there are people who can provide sets of these books. There is no need to show it on the surface, and the people who spend money to buy it secretly are absolutely indispensable.
There is a kind, you Manchu Qing will come to the national text prison again, and see if you can still have fun!
Yang Hao applauded in the monitoring room: "Song Ergan is beautiful!" A fluttering sentence can cost these bastards several times more. Hey, I'm going to see what you guys do next! More than a million taels, and I haven't squeezed all the money you brought! β
This price was something he hadn't expected before. I thought that it would be enough to have hundreds of thousands, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good.
Of course, the so-called clichΓ© of collecting solitary books overseas is deceitful. In fact, these books are the products of a large number of photocopied classical books published in 2005, after a special team disposed of the traces of modernity. After buying a set, it was only more than 50,000 soft sister coins. Ten sets, 500,000.
But the price of selling for more than one million taels of silver at once has increased more than 500 times!
After more than half an hour of tandem exchange, a large group of banner people finally discussed the shares contributed by each family, and finally bought them at a price of 1.45 million taels of silver.
Zheng Ruilin shouted three times in a row, and the final word was final!
There was a warm applause from the audience! All the businessmen have opened their eyes today. What does it mean to make money? That's an example! A bunch of printed books can be sold for gold price, what level! Boss Yang's methods are amazing!
Three large bookcases were pushed out of the back storeroom on the spot. Under the bright lights, the tempered glass door reflects a brilliant light.
The person who came forward to auction went through the formalities and determined that the remaining nine sets would be sent to the capital by the auctioneer on the appointed day.
Seeing that such a large pile of silver tickets went into other people's pockets in a blink of an eye, the flag men grinned in distress. A few yellow ribbons gritted their teeth and swore with a curse: "Count you ruthless enough!" Today, our lords have all recognized it. You'd better not fall into our hands, because you'll have to spit it out! β
It's such a ferocious trick at the beginning, and the next few highlights are not sure what will happen.
The hemorrhagic crowd simply didn't leave, stayed in the box, ate melons and fruits, drank good tea, and rested for a while. Get ready to mess around next. They hated those merchants in their hearts, and if they hadn't caused trouble, would they have gotten such a high price?
Taking advantage of the free moment, Song Yunsheng quietly came to the stage and asked Zheng Ruilin in a low voice: "Mr. Zheng, is this knife a little ruthless!" Is it a reminder to Boss Yang, it's almost there! β
He didn't expect Yang Hao to be so dark, and then looked at the auction items behind him, and his heart was full of thoughts. This one, shouldn't it really wipe out all the participants?
Zheng Ruilin had just finished warming up, and smiled calmly: "Don't be afraid!" If we dare to do this, we have long anticipated the troubles we may encounter. It's best if they don't shoot, if anyone wants to play the next three indiscriminate, then don't blame us for fighting back! β
Song Yunsheng sighed, shook his head and went back.
Just when the flagmen were gearing up and preparing to start raising the bar to make trouble in the next game, they suddenly heard the roar of an engine outside! Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Lord Li, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang trade, has arrived!" β
Li Hongzhang is here!
The crowd all stood up and looked behind in unison. I saw the old man Li, who had a white beard but was old and strong, wearing civilian clothes, accompanied by the American secretary Bidger, walking slowly in all directions.
As the owner, Yang Hao ran out at some point and waited until the auction hall. Walking on the side with his head held high, he didn't see any weakness or awe.
His typical two-devil outfit made the long-famous bosses and flag men recognize him at a glance. The so-called enemies were very red when they saw each other, and a few of them almost couldn't hold back at that time, and rushed up to give him a few slaps on his nasty smiling face.
It's so damning!
Is this kid calculating all the guys and hacking so much money? It's so unbelievable, and when he turns around, he has to survive and not die!
They kept Yang Hao's appearance vicious in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it, so they hurriedly came up one by one to salute.
When he hugged his fists and saluted, Yang Hao actually stood next to him, and he didn't know how to hide, and he was visited by a large group of princes and grandchildren. but turned a blind eye to their fierce gaze.
sent Li Hongzhang all the way to the reserved box. Lao Li Tou also knew the final price of the first auction, and immediately rushed upwards in anger, coughing, pointing at Yang Hao and scolding: "You little bastard, why are you so black!" β
One million four hundred and fifty thousand! In order to fight, his old man begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother that he had not raised a total of one million taels, and Yang Hao still borrowed the majority of the money. That's good, one set of books has deceived so many.
Yang Hao smiled and said nothing. I'm the righteous slaughterer, what can you do?
Outside, a group of flag people also suddenly came back to their senses. Li Hongzhang came at this time, and the calculation was so good, thank you! The most deceitful project has just ended, and he came, is this a good way to hide or what?
But no one dares to ask this, and if you ask, you will offend people. What's the matter, do you think Li Zhongtang is not loyal enough to the Qing Dynasty? The hat was able to be snapped back at that time.
There is such a great god to calm the field, and those who want to make trouble have to weigh it twice. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Hao arranged to shoot more than a dozen in the next breath. It includes "Daozang", "Tripitaka", "Twenty-four History", "Zhuzi Collection", etc., all of which are categories that say big and small.
On the bright side, this is the first set of each of them. In essence, it is the right to distribute this kind of book to the outside world. Therefore, the bidders all put out a deposit of 50,000 taels. Those who didn't take the money didn't even know the details of it.
Until the end, it was a set of "The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzhenggong"! (To be continued......)
