Volume 1 Chapter 475 The Bulk Grain Auction Begins
Early the next morning, I rushed to the reception room located in the imperial city, and before I even entered, I had already heard the sound of boiling people, and it seemed that there were really a lot of people coming. Thinking about it, all the heroes in the world, I am afraid that except for the Xiao family in Jiangnan, there is no one who does not lack food, so the output of the fertile soil in Guanzhong, these guys pounced like blood-sucking mosquitoes.
"Lord Yu, there are a total of thirty-seven people who have entered Guanzhong to buy grain, all of them are here, here, there are not only Dou Jiande's people who are far away in Hebei, but also Xue Ju's subordinates who are close at hand and are fighting with us...... "Fang Xuanling, who was waiting outside early, strode forward and whispered the situation in my ear.
“… As much as five million stones, as little as a million stones, the thirty million stones we can trade are simply not enough for them to share. ”
I paused and sneered, "How much grain have we purchased now?" ”
"According to the news from the Ministry of Agriculture last night, as of the night before yesterday, the grain stores in Guanzhong had purchased about 20 million stones, and there were still 10 million stones that the people had not sold." Fang Xuanling replied directly without thinking about it.
"Okay, 20 million stones, it's almost enough, the rest of the food, let the people, we don't lack this. By the way, three million stones of them remained, and my son had already promised the virtuous brother of the people of the world to sell three million stones of grain to him at the usual low price of 100 yuan. I smiled and nodded, hearing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be stunned, it took a long time to react, and quickly caught up, still whispering in his mouth: "Always a hundred dollars and one stone, one million stone is one hundred and one hundred thousand, three million stones is three million and three hundred and thirty thousand, and the cost is only one and a half million, obediently ......"
Seeing this guy behave like this, I laughed in my heart, this will be surprised, and you will be even more surprised in a while. Ben Gongzi walked straight into the conference hall with his head held high. For a moment, there was silence in the otherwise noisy conference hall, and everyone turned their eyes to me.
When I was seated, everyone stood up and saluted. "Excuse me, please be seated. I won't talk nonsense with you, I invite you here today, naturally because you want to buy food in Guanzhong. It's a pity that the people of Guanzhong are not allowed to sell food to the outside world......"
As soon as these words fell, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone exchanged words and ears. The first one stood up, first saluted me respectfully, and then said: "Duke Qi Guogong, if there is chaos today, the people are not happy, and the war is everywhere......
Set up the facts and be reasonable, as if his lord is the savior of the people in the world, and when he comes to Guanzhong to buy food, he squeezes his own blood, just to feed the people under his jurisdiction.
One after another, I jumped out to perform, and I didn't bother to interrupt these people's speeches, and I made a fuss for half an hour before stopping. Looking at the grain merchants foaming at the mouth, Ben Gongzi, who was dizzy when he heard it, couldn't help but yawn big. "I haven't finished yet, so I don't want you to interrupt me. I only said that the people were not allowed to sell to the outside world, but I did not say that I was not allowed to sell to the outside world. ”
The grain merchants who said "......" with a chrysanthemum on their tongues all had black lines on their faces, all with sad and indignant expressions, not only excited by what Ben Gongzi said to sell, but also complained about their nerves, and even many people glared at the guys who jumped out first.
It's really a bunch of unlucky kids. Wow, haha, it's really pleasant to tease these guys who want to take advantage of this son's territory.
"The Duke of Qi can plan for the people of the world, and he is really virtuous." However, the guy who reacted first threw down Fang Cai's emotions and jumped out and began to sing praises for his son, hoping to gain a good impression, and the best thing is to sell them more food.
"Okay, don't be a sycophant, my son has something to say, I can sell it to you, but how to sell it is conditional." Ben Gongzi cocked his fingers and glanced at these guys. "Always one stone."
"Childe, this is too expensive, isn't it? There are a lot of certain wants, and besides, Son, the grain you collect in Guanzhong is only 500 yuan and a stone. ”
"The problem is that Guanzhong is mine, and you have the ability to come here to collect grain and give it a try." Ben Gongzi rolled his eyes, and coldly slapped the dart of this product, which frightened this guy's little face and quickly retracted his head.
Only then did this son Shi Shiran continue: "Besides, has it always been very expensive to have a stone? I remember that this year, in the land of Shandong, one stone of rice was even fried to five times, and in the area of Pengcheng County, it was at least about three times. Do you really think it's expensive? Of course, if you think it's expensive, you can not buy it. ”
“…… The price is not negotiable, one stone has always been the low limit, there is no upper limit, you have to have the ability to fry to a stone of rice and ten dollars to make, then I am naturally very welcome. When Ben Gongzi said this, he couldn't help grinning happily, if it was really ten yuan for one stone, then Ben Gongzi would really be famous. However, I believe that even if these guys are squeezed by the crack in the door, they will not be able to fetch such a high price.
"This year, I will sell 17,000,000 stone of grain to you, and I will auction 1,000,000 stone each, and the highest price will be won. Second, it must be a cash or spot transaction. If you are short of money, you can also exchange other things with me......"
"Guogong, this is not very good, we have thirty-seven people, and you only sell 17 million stones, but you still stipulate that one unit is one million stones, we..."
I touched my smooth chin and laughed. "Although there are thirty-seven of you, I believe that many of you are from the same place, so there should be no problem with seventeen copies of the faith, of course, if you don't want to, you can not buy it."
These guys can only stare at each other, who let Ben Gongzi not lack food, and they are lacking, so now Ben Gongzi feels good about himself, just like a waiter in a state-run shopping mall in the twentieth century, who loves to buy or not.
In the end, these grain merchants, who represented their own strength, could only accept these conditions put forward by Ben Gongzi gloomily. Next, the auction regulations were issued, and the reserve price was always one stone, and if the bid was not consistent, the auction would automatically fail, and we collected grain according to the price of the ninth year of the great cause, and 500 yuan was consistent, that is to say, the 17 million stone could earn at least more than 6 million yuan.
Well, I am glad that I occupy a metropolis like Chang'an, at least there is a lot of money in the treasury, so this son can easily buy grain from the hands of ordinary people and resell it.
As for the three million stones, they were naturally thrown directly to Li Shimin in exchange for coal and iron ore, after all, Li Yuan was my father-in-law, and it was also appropriate to do some behind-the-scenes operations.
handed over the auction venue to Shi Feng, a profiteer with an innocent and kind baby face, but his heart was blacker than ink, and his knife was faster than light, and his son withdrew from the conference hall with charity.
I didn't want to just step out, but I saw Li Shimin standing in front of me with a sad face. "Brother,
Next to her, the Yaoguang girl dug her red lips and glared at me angrily, looking at the class enemy, I was dizzy, forget it, don't tease the two brothers and sisters, this son stepped forward. patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Why, do you think that I only give them the usual reserve price of one stone, and give you the consistent price of one hundred yuan and one stone, do you think that I will fool you for my brother?" ”
Li Shimin heard this, and his brows couldn't help but lock up, but the Yaoguang girl nodded angrily, Khan, this girl is too sincere.
I can only make promises. "Don't worry, brother Xian, take a good look, you will be glad in a while, I will only give you the same price for what."
"What are you doing here? If you only give them the usual price of one stone, are they willing to pay more money to buy it? "Sister Yaoguang couldn't help but be a little confused when she saw me being so confident.
"That's nature, although seventeen million stone grain is a lot, it can't be considered much, it's like a bone with meat, thrown in front of this group of hungry wolf dogs, do you think they will obediently line up one by one to bite a bite?" Ben Gongzi patiently made an analogy.
Hearing this, Sister Yaoguang couldn't help blinking her dark apricot eyes with a very speechless expression. "How can a wolf line up and take a bite by himself? You just fool me, you. ”
"Brother, you mean, they're going to raise the price because of this?" Before Ben Gongzi, who was made to cry and laugh by the Yaoguang girl, had no time to explain, Li Shimin, who had already heard the meaning of my words, couldn't help but say.
"You can rest assured that you look good, you know that you will not lie to you as a brother, human nature is to compete with each other, especially the more difficult it is, the more intense and tense the competition will be." After that, Ben Gongzi also put his righteous and awe-inspiring gaze on the face of the Yaoguang girl, so that she could appreciate Ben Gongzi's bright and honest demeanor, in exchange for a lovely white eye, by
"In short, the phrase natural selection is appropriate in many aspects."
"Natural selection?" Li Shimin smashed his mouth, and couldn't help but start pondering a famous sentence that came out of his son's mouth again.
When the auction began, there was a lot of noise in the whole conference room, and even several grain merchants completely gave up their merchant's ethics and morality, and actually rolled up their sleeves to engage in violent bidding with other grain merchants.
Soon, a large number of Praetorian Guard soldiers poured into the auction hall, and after throwing these troublesome idiots directly out of the auction hall, it seemed a little quieter, but even so, the whole auction process was from the initial calm to the next surging, and was climaxed again and again by the card holder.
It was as if he had come to a land auction place in the 21st century, and his eyebrows were dancing, while the others were all dumbfounded, their eyes straightened, watching these guys raise the signs in their hands again and again, pushing the price of grain to one peak after another.
