Chapter 141: Auction? Grab the money! (7) 5 more!
As soon as he heard the name, Li Hongzhang couldn't sit still at that time.
Among the sample books he had read before, there was no such set at all.
Zeng Wenzhenggong is naturally his teacher Zeng Guofan, his old man's book is going to be published, and as a student, of course, he has to vigorously support it.
Li Hongzhang's experience came back in a blink of an eye, stood up, and snorted coldly at Yang Hao: "You kid is okay!" It's all calculated on the old man's head. It's a good pretense, but don't expect money from the old man! ”
He relied on the old and sold the old, and he played tricks on you, how can you drop it?
Yang Hao smiled: "I didn't plan to make Zhongtang's money. I invite you to come today to be a testimony and see if our set of books is really complete. ”
"Humph! The old man was about to take a look, beware that the cowhide was blown up, and the world would mock him, so that he didn't damage Zeng Wenzhenggong's name! ”
Li Hongzhang was not polite, and praised in his heart: "Yang Hao's methods are extraordinary!" Such an open and honest excuse was also found for the old man, but it saved the tongue of waiting with other people. ”
Originally, he didn't get involved with his relatives and didn't have a reason, he Li Hongzhang was a disguise, and the style of this auction increased suddenly, so that a large group of imperial relatives and important ministers of the court who were slaughtered on the pole fooled in. Although they don't deal with it on weekdays, these people will inevitably have trouble when they look back.
Now it's good, the first set of "The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzhenggong" in history has been released, and it is natural for him Li Hongzhang, as a disciple of Zeng Guofan, to come to cheer. Now, no one can question it.
How can Yang Hao fight an uncertain battle? The sample book was delivered in a blink of an eye, and it was also a large stack of dozens of beautifully bound copies.
Li Hongzhang picked it up and flipped through it roughly, and found that it was composed of two parts. Part. It is a small print version printed vertically in traditional Chinese. Thick 24 volumes. The sentence breaks have been processed. And it was extremely accurate, he found more than a dozen places at random, and there was no mistake at all!
What surprised him even more was that in addition to the "Zeng Wenzheng Official Letter" that he edited with his brother Li Hanzhang before, there were three parts: family motto, reading record and diary, which was really a complete collection.
What particularly amazed him was the diary part, which was the printing of "Zeng Wenzheng's Handwritten Diary"! The original familiar font can't be faked at all! And some of them he had read personally. It has been kept secret until now...... Where the hell did this kid come from?!
But now is not the time to investigate the details, Li Hongzhang spent ten minutes to make sure that it was correct, and couldn't help sighing: "I can't imagine that the old man will be able to see my master's life's hard work in person." Good, good! Yang Hao, the old man is very satisfied with this matter. This first set is my collection. For the rest, you can do it. ”
After speaking, he patted Yang Hao's shoulder vigorously: "Let it go!" ”
He really can't find anything wrong with this matter. There is only joy in my heart.
As a scholar, what he pursues in his life is only three things: "meritorious service, virtue and speech". The first two things can be done well before death. Death is all about nothing. But the matter of standing up can be sung through the ages and passed on for eternity.
Among the Confucian scholars of all ages, which one did not follow the example of Confucius, their "most holy teacher of Dacheng"? Who doesn't want their meritorious deeds, speeches and writings, to be passed on forever and admired by all generations?
When Li Hongzhang and his brothers compiled the book, this is what they meant. However, it is not easy to make that kind of strength bigger, and the cost is too high.
Now, he saw Yang Hao's version. In addition to the 24 handwritten photocopies, the other 20 volumes should not be expensive. In addition, he also knew that Yang Hao also had four, five, six and other layouts here, and even those with white comparisons. The price is only a few dozen taels, and many people can afford it.
Yang Hao did not deliberately shoot Li Hongzhang's horses. With him, all books are commodities after all, used to earn gold and silver in the Qing Dynasty. Zeng Guofan is the most famous in contemporary times, and his disciples are the most bullish, if you don't use him as a guise to make money, you are sorry for yourself.
But the family members of the princes and clans outside and the important ministers of the court are very tired!
Many people cursed vigorously in their hearts: "This surnamed Yang is really a special grandson!" The whole thing grabbed Old Man Li's itchy flesh. Just rushed this one, Li Hongzhang still didn't support him ruthlessly? Well, if you want to make it bad, I'm afraid it's not easy! ”
Those businessmen who were waiting for the project to make a fortune were overjoyed one by one! There is no need for Zheng Ruilin to mobilize his feelings, as soon as he shouts out when the shooting starts, the price code will continue to rise, all the way up!
Who doesn't want to be a good one! This is in front of Li Hongzhang! Anyone who takes this deal up with it can at least get a personal meeting with Lord Nakado - this is an opportunity that I can't even imagine how much money will be spent in the past!
Moreover, with the big tree of Li Hongzhang to shelter from the wind and rain, who can't take a look at it? If you do other business, you can get a few more profits out of thin air! Calculated inside and out, the benefits are great.
So, it also started with 10,000 taels of silver, and crossed the hurdle of 500,000 taels in a blink of an eye.
At this price, Li Hongzhang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard it, squinted at Yang Hao, and knocked on the table: "It's almost enough!" If it spreads out and makes some bad statements, it won't be good! ”
Yang Hao thought about it, if those political enemies slandered this matter as Li Hongzhang using the name of a teacher to make money, it was really unclear. He immediately went out and gestured to the stage, and Zheng Ruilin took advantage of the short cold moment to make the final decision.
The final price was nailed to 560,000 taels.
The merchant, who had succeeded by accident, was so happy that his eyes became a slit. Li Hongzhang was also very face-saving, summoned people to the box, and said a few words of praise in the wind and drizzle. That guy was so happy that he almost fainted on the spot!
Although Li Hongzhang is mean and arrogant, he is extremely tolerant of those who can never climb him. Even care about whether the other party can afford such a large investment - you know, this money is an agent qualification fee, extra money!
Yang Hao smiled: "You always feel that you can't go, don't you just help him write two words?" If you don't think it's enough, you can simply give him your anthology for publication and sale. ”
Li Hongzhang glared fiercely: "The old man is not dead yet!" ”
People live well, and they are busy publishing the whole work, isn't it too crazy, or curse themselves to die early, do you do that?
Yang Hao looked up at the ceiling and touched his nose.
Li Hongzhang reminded him, and asked with a changed face: "Yang boy, the copyright of Zeng Wenzhenggong's anthology should be owned by his family." It's not appropriate for you to get it to sell it and don't say hello beforehand, right? ”
Yang Haoxin said that your old guy still knows the word copyright! Does anyone in the Qing Dynasty understand this thing? If you really respect, you have deleted and altered the books of your ancestors thousands of years ago, and I haven't seen you give people money!
However, saying this is equivalent to raising the bar, he put away his smiling face, and said seriously: "Lord Zhongtang." The proceeds from the auction of The Complete Works of Tsang Wen Zheng were not put into private pockets. I want to unite a lot of celebrities and build a new university based on this fund. How about you being named 'Zongsheng University' and you becoming the first president? ”
"Zongsheng University?!"
Li Hongzhang was really shocked at this moment, Yang Hao's idea was simply good!
Zeng Guofan is the seventieth grandson of Zongsheng Zengzi. With his name and the wealth that comes from him, to create a university that will surely be passed on is truly immortal! Even the Qing court could not object to the generation of famous ministers they gave the nickname "Wenzheng".
Hanchen in the world, how many people are embarrassed to oppose it? Not to mention that his Li Hongzhang brothers are still there, so they naturally support them.
In front of too many outsiders, Li Hongzhang was not too obvious. He glanced at Yang Hao deeply, and nodded solemnly: "Send your ideas and fund-raising details, and write a copy and send it to Beiyang Yamen." ”
It wasn't loud, and everyone who should have heard it heard it. Suddenly, a look of envy, jealousy and hatred shot over.
Li Hongzhang asked people to take the set of books and get up and leave the auction hall. Yang Hao also took the opportunity to send him out and turned around and returned to the monitoring room. He wasn't interested in watching those flag men play treasure at the scene.
Old man Li left, and the atmosphere at the scene was much more relaxed. The guys who have been holding back and didn't get a chance to get mad are rolling their arms and sleeves and preparing to do a big job. As a result, the next thing that Zheng Ruilin announced to start filming is "Siku Quanshu"!
This can be said to be the only glorious cultural achievement of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. Although it really comes to the inside, I don't know how much is worth criticizing, but at least for the current generation, this is the undisputed first!
The content of the auction is a set of 36,312 volumes, which are as large as the original, with a general layout and general color, and a super ceremony full of 128 Nanmu shelves!
The spectacular picture that is horizontal and vertical enough to fill a building makes everyone who has no chance to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to open their eyes be dizzy!
Different from the mystery of the "Essentials of the Four Books of the King James Dynasty", this big book has been read by countless people. Whether it's true or not, you can tell at a glance.
Only in this way, the people present felt incredible, and they felt very jealous of Yang Hao and the strength behind him!
It's not one or two, one or two hundred, one or two thousand. That's more than 30,000 books! You will never be able to steal it, a dictionary of 700 million words, and no one can engrave the original version! This is even more incredible and amazing than Zeng Guofan's handwriting!
For a while, the red and yellow ribbons that were ready to coax the seedlings, Uncle Baylor, I didn't know how to put my mouth shut.
Can they object? Apparently not. The Qing court wished that everyone would have a copy of this set of books and pass it on forever.
Then you can only support it, but the problem is that this guy is so big, if it is really auctioned, the price will definitely be a lot more than the previous "Extract". This time, there really was no one to help with the money. If one of them is not good, they will smash their hands and make a mistake, and they really don't know where to cry.
In silence, I listened to Zheng Ruilin's full introduction, and finally said a surprising starting price: "Gold, 10,000 taels!" A thousand more per increase! (To be continued......)
PS: ps: Write more about the sand and gravel in the water for book friends! I'm updating so hard, do the big guys have to give more votes?
