The mirror has no political significance, and the two invited businessmen can bid generously, and once the two wealthy businessmen participate, the price will naturally rise.

In fact, when the asking price exceeded 330,000 taels, it became a competition between Jia Ping of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce and Ye Shi of the Changxing Chamber of Commerce.

After a fierce competition, the big mirror was finally auctioned by Ye Shi, the richest man in Changxing City and the president of the Changxing Chamber of Commerce, at a sky-high price of 420,000 taels.

And as the dust settled on the last finale treasure, the whole treasure appreciation meeting also came to an end.

The guests were reluctantly sent out of Tianbao Pavilion by An Ge, and only Jia Ping and Ye Shi were left alone by Xu Rui.

The two were led to the private room by Xu Rui, and talked secretly for nearly two hours behind closed doors, and when they left Tianbao Pavilion, their faces were full of red light, as if they had received great benefits.

In the early morning of the second day, there were no firecrackers, no ribbon cutting, Tianbao Pavilion was quietly opened, but there was already a long queue outside the door, and as soon as the door panel was opened, a large number of customers rushed into it to rush into it to buy frantically.

In less than half an hour, the shelves were sold out, and even the tables, chairs, benches, decorations, and even the graffiti hanging on the walls were all cleaned, as if they had been looted.

The people who grabbed the treasure were naturally overjoyed, and they had to brag about it when they met people, and those who came late beat their chests and feet, sighed for a long time, hated and thought that they would have to buy it earlier next time, and it became the most worthy thing to show off in Changxing City to get a treasure of Tianbao Pavilion for a while.

In fact, although it took three months from the preparation to the opening of Tianbao Pavilion, the time was still very tight, due to the wide variety of goods, it was impossible for Xu Rui to establish a stable supply chain in such a short period of time, let alone a production line.

Except for a few products, all the rest of the products are just a set of samples, one is to verify the technology, determine the formula, and the other is to make the reputation of Tianbao Pavilion famous.

Therefore, once the goods on the shelves are sold out, Tianbaoge can only close its doors awkwardly, and there is no possibility of replenishing the goods in the short term.

From the very beginning, Xu Rui put the heavy responsibility of making money on the treasure appraisal meeting before the opening, and the sales after the opening became a gimmick.

Finally sending away a few scolding generals, Xu Rui hurriedly asked someone to close the door of the store and hide back in the back house.

Among the nobles, these ruffians are the most difficult to deal with.

Generals like Li Guangzu, who are familiar with Liu Yi or Yang Weiyuan, are mostly informal, too lazy to be outrageous, so they will not order people to line up in advance, and as soon as they come, they will go straight to Xu Rui, they have to buy a few treasures, if they don't have them, they will be stalked.

However, these people are all Xu Rui's elders, and they are not beaten, nor are they scolded, which makes him cry and laugh, so he can only be comforted with good words, and promise to bring treasures to the door in person to make amends.

When the crowd outside gradually dispersed, Xu Rui had time to take stock of the gains and losses over the past few days.

Since the beginning of spring, he has been busy for more than three months, spending 60,000 taels of advance payment from the Ministry of War, 40,000 taels of pension money from Liu Yi, 300,000 taels of share capital from the two princes and Huang Zhengyuan, and 100,000 taels of filial piety sent by Wang Shunde.

In total, the cost of the initial establishment of Tianhe Group was as high as 500,000 taels of silver, which can be called an absolute big deal.

Not counting Fan Kun's promise, the four treasures at yesterday's auction were sold for a total of 790,000 taels in cash, plus a mansion of about 40,000 taels, plus 780,000 taels of sporadic consumption by other guests, there is about 900,000 taels of income.

Tianbao Pavilion was snapped up today, although there is no accurate statistics, but the sales will be about 200,000 taels, a few months of hard work to create a total of 1.1 million taels of income, after deducting costs, the net profit is as high as 600,000 taels.

Of course, the 600,000 taels have to be distributed to shareholders, and the ruined Yuan family also needs a lot of money to gain a firm foothold, and there are also the magnates in the capital who must be dealt with, and the ones that can really fall into Xu Rui's pocket are only about 150,000 taels.

But even so, it's a lot of money.

This is the first pot of gold in my life......

Xu Rui sighed faintly, raised his head, and found that all the subordinates in the Tianbao Pavilion were gathered around him, and everyone was happy.

"Everyone did a good job today, this time has been hard, let's take three days off from tomorrow."

Xu Rui said with a smile, and then nodded at An Ge.

An Ge immediately took out a stack of red envelopes and handed one to everyone.

This is the salary that has been prepared for a long time, but Xu Rui has doubled the amount that should be paid, which is called "bonus".

From the beginning of recruiting this group of subordinates, Xu Rui has been brainwashing them uninterruptedly, and implanting modern business concepts such as "linking employee income with corporate performance" into the hearts of the people, only in this way can we mobilize the enthusiasm of everyone and create greater profits.

Not surprisingly, seeing the amount of silver tickets in the red envelope, the subordinates suddenly looked out of sight, lined up to thank Xu Rui, and then happily went to their own work, without the owner's instructions at all.

As soon as everyone left, only An Ge and Liji were left in the hall.

Xu Rui took out a gilded post from the drawer and handed it to Liji, and said with a smile: "The eldest princess sent me three posts early this morning, saying that she wanted to invite you to live in her house for half a month, but in fact, she wanted you to teach her those handmaidens to make up." ”

"Princess please me?!"

Liji took the post and looked at Xu Rui in shock.

Xu Rui smiled: "Don't worry, the eldest princess will definitely provide you with delicious food and drink, you don't have to ask her for anything, just try to get along with the biggest gain, as for your share of the reward, I will ask her for it." ”

Liji was shocked and shook her head: "The slave family doesn't need any remuneration......"

Xu Rui pouted and said: "What kind of stupid thing to say, you naturally have to take money when you do something, it's just right." ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui handed her another red envelope, which contained two silver tickets for one thousand taels, which was her salary during this time.

Without looking, Liji took the red envelope into her arms, slowly turned around and walked towards the door.

She hadn't taken two steps before she suddenly turned around again, her face already covered with tears.

"Young Master ......"

Liji knelt down in front of Xu Rui suddenly, kowtowed her head three times, and when she raised her head again, a smile bloomed on her tear-stained face.

"It is the young master who gave Liji the dignity to live, and you have recreated Liji, and from today on, Liji will be the young master's person, and she will never be negative in her life."

After speaking, a touch of red appeared on Liji's face, and without waiting for Xu Rui to speak, she slipped out of the door.

"What a wretched man."

Xu Rui looked at her back, sighed deeply, and shook his head.

"Young master, can I also take three days off?"

An Ge rubbed his hands and looked at Xu Rui with a smile.

Xu Rui was slightly stunned, took out a silver ticket and handed it to An Ge and said, "This is the first salary in your life, let's go and take your mother out to live in a while." ”

An Ge nodded happily, unfolded the silver ticket and saw that it was as much as 10,000 taels, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost jumped up from the ground.

"Look at your little bit of interest."

Xu Rui patted An Ge's shoulder and walked out of Tianbao Pavilion with his arms around him, as if he walked out of the house with him in his arms a few months ago.

"An Ge, have you learned all the knowledge that the young master taught you?"

"Nature's intentions."

"Hmm...... The bigger the business, the more the management has to keep up, starting tonight, the young master will work tirelessly to teach you in person, you can't be lazy. ”

"Young master, didn't you say that you would have a three-day holiday?"

"You think beautifully, young master, I haven't faked, you still want to rest?"

"Isn't this naked exploitation?"

"What did you say?"

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

"An Ge, our career has officially started from today, and no one knows where this road will go in the future, but there must be a lot of people who are angry with it, so we have to prepare in advance."

"Young master, don't worry, An Ge will follow the young master all the way, wherever the young master goes, An Ge will go."
