Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Capture of the North City

After a fight, the courtyard became a mess, and after Chenyou went around the rooms, he simply left and rushed to the Westward Journey Bookstore.

As expected, at this moment, Nan Mengji and Chen Thirteen have returned.

Chen 13 temporarily lived and practiced in the Nanlong Printing Workshop, and Nanmengji also moved to live in the bookstore because of the arrival of the dance light.

When the two met, they inevitably asked each other.

On Nanmengji's side, he didn't encounter any big trouble, but there were many affairs in more than 100 town-level bookstores, which delayed some time.

Regarding Xing'er's introduction, Chen You still said that she was a recognized sister-in-law.

Nan Mengji knew that Chen You had some secrets, so he didn't ask too much.

After thinking about it for a while, Nan Mengji spoke again: "Chenyou, the day before yesterday, Ye Yihong, the owner of the teaching workshop, came to look for it, saying that the things you explained had been done, and I wanted you to arrange it." In addition, the shopkeeper of Osan Bookstore came twice, saying that the rental of Journey to the West classics was in short supply, and they wanted to buy the printing rights to print and distribute them. I can't be the master of this matter, and I have to wait for you to make up your mind. ”

"It will definitely not work to let them publish and publish it! They don't have that level, and this resolute refusal is. As for Ye Yihong from the teaching workshop, you can send someone to inform you and come to the bookstore in the afternoon to meet and discuss. ”

Chen You smiled faintly and said to Nanmengji.

If you want to publish and publish Journey to the West, aren't you joking with him? Let them print it, and their painstaking efforts to promote Journey to the West are not in vain......

Nan Mengji nodded in agreement, and then said something else.

Everything else is trivial, and Chen You just let him make his own decisions.

After arranging the affairs of the bookstore, and telling Nan Mengji to find someone, he got up and rushed to the city after simply repairing the rented courtyard.

From Minami Mongi, he already knew the specific location of the auction house.

Decades ago, the Osan Castle Auction House has changed hands several times and is now a fruit and vegetable market, right in the heart of the city.

When Chen You came to the place, he saw that the vegetable market had been reorganized on all sides, and three of the four gates were closed, leaving only one entrance. The surrounding walls have been doubled in height, and the ceiling above has been rebuilt, covered with thick linoleum, with polished spar slabs in between, making the light very bright inside.

Under the canopy, hundreds of spacious seats are set up on the east, west and north sides, and the south side is the presiding podium, as well as a dozen houses for the auction house.

At this moment, there is a lot of people entering and leaving the auction hall, and at the gate, there are four warriors guarding it, and a middle-aged scribe is in charge of entering and exiting the registration.

Seeing Chen swim over, two of the four warriors were taken aback and hurriedly ran over.

"Chen Zhutou, Steward Zhao has been waiting for a long time, you can come with me. ”

One of the warriors bowed and saluted.

The two of them didn't know each other, but the other party obviously recognized him.

Nodding, he entered the auction hall with Xing'er.

Zhao Jie quickly greeted him and led Chen You and the two into an exquisite attic.

After sitting down, Zhao Jie directly took out an account book and said: "Chen You, it cost a total of two thousand taels of silver to buy this piece of land and buildings, and we rebuilt the structure, because we asked for it quickly, and we used more than 1,300 taels, and other hired auction house related personnel ......."

Chen You smiled faintly and directly interrupted it: "Big man, you can record these things in the account, and you don't need to explain them to me! Since I have full authority to deal with the auction house, I am naturally completely at ease! You only need to tell me whether the silver is enough or not." If that's not enough, I'll prepare it for you. ”

Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people. If you have to do everything, even if you have a lot of energy, you will be tired to death.

Zhao Jie's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, and he hurriedly shook his head and said: "There are still more than one thousand taels of silver left, and the big money has already been spent, and the rest is enough to support until the end of the first auction, and when the time comes, only a small part of the profit will be taken out, which is enough to cover other expenses!"

"It seems that the situation is good!"

Chen You smiled and said.

At the mention of this, Zhao Jie suddenly cheered up, and then nodded and smiled: "That's true! This time, we initially set the reserve price of the treasures entering the auction at one thousand taels, and then two thousand, and now, there is no value of more than three thousand taels, so we don't have to think about it at all!"

......

While speaking, Chen Tai also walked in from outside with a red face.

"Chen Zhutou, you're back!"

Before entering the door, Chen Tai just laughed.

"Old Chen, please take a seat. ”

Chen You and Zhao Jie got up and asked Chen Tai to sit in the guest seat.

"Chen Zhutou, the old man was about to report something to you, so he came uninvited. ”

After sitting down, Chen Tai spoke directly.

"Well, you name it. ”

Chen You nodded and smiled.

"There has been no auction in Wushan City for decades, and with the current reputation of Chen Zhutou, the performance of this Journey to the West auction house is far better than our expectations! As of now, the treasures that want to be sent to our auction house for auction have exceeded 800 pieces worth more than 1,000 taels......!

Chen Tai said in one breath.

Waving his hand to interrupt it, Chen You smiled and said, "The matter of the treasure house does not need to be established for the time being. All the treasures sent for identification, if you wish, can leave a file record in our auction house, contact information. Whether it's your own address or an intermediary contact, it's good. If someone needs it, we can pull the strings out of it.

In terms of VIP treatment, it can be implemented as soon as possible, and the VIP of the auction hall has the right to check the treasure information and drawings, and after there is an intention to buy, we will send someone to contact the treasure owner. However, there is one thing, the identity of the treasure owner must be kept absolutely secret, and in our auction house, it is necessary to ensure their safety and, if necessary, escort them away. ”

"As for the rest, go according to plan!"

Tatsuyo finally said.

He still has a lot of enemies in the open and in the dark, and he definitely can't leave any treasure trove as the target of his opponent.

Chen Tai was slightly frustrated, lowered his head and thought for a while, before he raised his head and said, "Chen Zhutou's idea is also right, it's that the old man is a little anxious for quick success." ”

"Chen Lao has done his best for the auction house, and Chen You understands this in his heart!"

Chen You smiled and nodded.

"Yes! Chen Zhutou can afford to be old, and he should do his best. ”

Chen Tai smiled at Chen You.

......

After that, Zhao Jie took out some documents about the auction house and handed them to Chen You.

These things have been done, just sign your name and press your fingerprint.

After finishing the affairs of the auction hall, Chen You got up and left again and went to the county office.

Mi Mancheng was in the county government at the moment, and after letting Chen You into the living room, he directly ordered someone to send a tray.

The brocade on the tray was uncovered, revealing a red token.

Mi Mancheng picked up the token and said with a smile: "Chen You, the token captured by Beicheng has been issued!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Chen You got up and bowed to Mi Mancheng and thanked him.

The Beicheng Capture Leader is not only directly in charge of the affairs of Wushan Beicheng, but also directly leads the people of many towns and offices in the northern region of Wushan County, and is a typical real power faction, which is also very important for him to act in the future.

Mi Mancheng had to give a few words of encouragement, and Chen You was also patient with a few words.

Two moments later, he left the county office and returned to the Journey to the West Bookstore.

And at this time, not only Ye Yihong, the owner of the workshop, was already waiting there, but the old dean of the Nanshan Martial Arts Academy also sent someone to send a book to leave behind!
