Chapter 09 Auction House Vision

Zhao Wangfu and the City Lord's Mansion are separated, and the tax revenue of the City Lord's Mansion also has a base, Zhao Wuregret reduced the tax by one percent that year, of course, it was to celebrate Xiao Zhao Yi, if he could not complete the base of the year, he would not make such a decision rashly. The finance of the Zhao Palace, the purpose of which is to support the Zhao Palace, is operated by a special business team.

The largest commercial building in Maple Leaf City belongs to Zhao Wangfu, although it belongs to private property, but Zhao Wangfu is contributing to Maple Leaf City's tax revenue, and now Zhao Wangfu has transferred tens of thousands of silver taels to Zhao Yi to buy materials for manufacturing rune paper, and the corresponding shortage of working capital will inevitably have an impact on the next business plan, which will correspondingly affect the tax revenue in Maple Leaf City. The tax is the most important part of the city lord's assessment, so the Zhao Wangfu is not in a hurry. This is not only related to Zhao Wuregret's fate, but also to everyone's fate.

Hearing Zhao Yi's call, Zhao Wuregret showed a smile, this baby son can always bring surprises to himself, not only to send a wonderful way to strengthen his body, but also to wash the feet of his husband and wife, and to make his own heart, which is quite weathered, he is also very relieved, not to mention the paper note sent, which has made him gain a lot of face, and many elders heard the wind and asked if there was still it!

Seeing Zhao Yi walk in the door, Zhao Wuregret asked with a smile: "Yi'er, what's the matter?" Do you think that the materials last time were not enough, after a while, the palace will be opened, so I will continue to buy it for you." Zhao Yi looked at the extremely unnatural Steward Zhao next to him, and said, "No, father, look!" Then he took out a large stack of rune paper and introduced them to Zhao Wuregret one by one, this is the Sickness Talisman, this is the Invisibility Talisman, how many are these, and what are the qualities......

Zhao Wuregret looked at Steward Zhao in surprise for a moment, and looked at Zhao Yi: "Why are there so many, isn't it difficult to make? It's different from what I originally thought!" Zhao Yi smiled and returned: "Father, when I started practicing, it took a lot of money, and I accidentally made the demand the same as the first paper talisman." Let's see, can you sell it?"

Zhao Wuregret laughed and said, "Yes, of course you can, Yi'er, you have solved my urgent need!" Obviously, Zhao Wuregret had already understood the value of the paper talisman, but then he said with a serious face: "I'm afraid this invisibility talisman can't be sold casually, if it is bought by the enemy, it is really too much of a hidden danger." Seeing that his father coincided with his own thoughts, Zhao Yi was relieved. Looking at his father, a sly look flashed: "Well, I only sell the talisman, how much does my father plan to sell it, if we don't have enough material money, we can't sell it, we can't lose money!"

Zhao Wuregret laughed again: "This little ghost!Steward Zhao, what is the cost price?" Steward Zhao was not nervous at this time, there was a smile on his face, and he hesitated slightly: "Lord Wang, little prince, the total amount of materials purchased is 12,000 taels of silver, if it is calculated according to seventy-six finished products, one is about 158 taels." Zhao Wuregret took two steps back and forth in place, and said with a fixed mind: "Calculate the cost in the disease removal talisman, according to a piece of three hundred taels of silver, Yi'er is also hard to make, how can one get three thousand taels of silver." Seeing that the prince was silent, he increased his profits by more than ten times, and Steward Zhao had to sigh secretly that it was really the prince, and the pattern was higher than that of himself, who was a housekeeper.

"Father, I heard that the maids were buying things at the stalls outside, and when they met someone who liked the same thing, they would pay a higher price than whoever bought it, and the price would be much higher, should we also find more people to buy it, and it would sell more!" Zhao Yi said innocently. "The little prince is right, the one with the highest price will get it, and the demand for the disease talisman will definitely sell well!" Steward Zhao's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he immediately added. "The one with the highest price will get it, and the one with the highest price will get ......it," Zhao Wuregret repeated his thoughts, so he ordered, "Steward Zhao, go and call Gu Bin, the head of the business group, to come over!"

Steward Zhao listened to the order and was about to go out, but a light cough came from Steward Zhao's mouth, Zhao Yi hurriedly called Steward Zhao, and suggested to Zhao Wuregret: "Father, Uncle Steward is also old, and I am afraid that there are a lot of physical problems, why don't you use a charm!" Zhao Wuregret slapped his forehead, so he said: "I was negligent, Steward Zhao, you can use one!"

Steward Zhao paused in shock, he never thought that the little prince would use such a valuable paper talisman on himself, and the prince actually agreed. After thinking about it, just as he was about to refuse, a perfect amulet had been stuffed in his hand by Zhao Yi. It's not that Zhao Wuregret is stingy, ordinary medicinal materials such as ginseng are also rewarded, originally because of the scarcity of paper talismans, but I didn't expect it at this time. After Steward Zhao thanked Dade for a while, he used the rune paper according to the method taught by Zhao Yi, and sure enough, some of the old problems in the past disappeared, and the surprise was overflowing, and he expressed his gratitude again, and went to find Gu Bin.

As the head of the Zhao Wangfu Business Group, Gu Bin is very proud, because under his leadership, Zhao Wangfu can contribute thirty percent of the tax revenue to Maple Leaf City every year, although the working capital of Zhao Wangfu is not much, but most of the profits are put into commercial operations. At this time, he was very confused, because the little prince's large-scale purchase of materials had already affected the next business plan, in order not to affect the assessment of the city lord in the next five years, he was hesitating to give up several plans with good development potential but no short-term benefits.

"The prince summoned me, and Head Gu went with me as soon as possible. Seeing that Steward Zhao was full of red light and overjoyed, he almost ran in. Gu Bin couldn't help but scold: "Hasn't Steward Zhao always been very steady, what's wrong today?" Just looking at Steward Zhao's obvious joy, Gu Bin knew that it was not a bad thing. And this Steward Zhao is still much younger, and his usual cough is gone. "Steward Zhao, a lot younger, why did the prince summon him?" Seeing that the butler's face was high and he didn't answer, Gu Bin walked towards the palace with Steward Zhao with a puzzled face.

Zhao Wuregret greeted Gu Bin warmly, inquired about the recent business situation, and explained the situation of the paper symbol. This Gu Bin is very favored by Zhao Wuregret, he can stand in Maple Leaf City, and he has stood for many years, and this business group leader has made a lot of efforts. Gu Bin is also very loyal, grateful for Zhao Wuregret's kindness, he has been working hard for more than ten years, keeping the business group in good order, and solving the financial worries of Zhao Wangfu.

When Gu Bin saw so many paper symbols, he already knew it in his heart. He had heard of the effect of the disease talisman, and immediately he thought of Steward Zhao, and he must have used one, no wonder he looked red. Suppressing all kinds of thoughts, he responded: "The one with the highest price wins, this idea is wonderful! The business group also had similar ideas, but the investment was too huge to be implemented!"

As a business elite, Gu Bin immediately added some ideas, such as the Removal Charm, which is not for sale at all, we can set aside a floor of commercial buildings and invite the city lords, wealthy families, and wealthy merchants of nearby cities to come and bid for sale. It can be sold at a high price.

"By the way, Lord Wang, we can not be limited to selling paper symbols, we can also sell other things, let the guests on consignment set the reserve price, and we charge a certain commission, which is also a good income!" Presumably, there are many people in the mainland who have already planned to set up an auction house, but no one wants to be the first to eat crabs.

In Zhao Yi's impression, there are several points that must be considered, the first must be fame and reputation, the second is the auctioneer, and the third is the appraiser. A good auctioneer can be able to speak at a minimum, often let people spend several times the price of the item but let the customer not feel at a loss; the appraiser is particularly important, to be able to roughly determine the value of the item is necessary, if the tens of thousands of items are identified into hundreds of values, the person who bought is happy, the person who sells will certainly not come again, and the publicity, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the auction house.

Gu Bin also took these points into account and continued to propose that if the benefits are good and the funds are abundant, it can be decorated as luxuriously as possible, which makes people feel that it is worth the money at a glance. As for other cities, the idea of opening auction houses in other countries is even more bold.

Zhao Wuregret was very moved when he heard this, the huge benefits of the auction house are indeed worth the risk, but it involves all aspects, and it is not easy to open it in other places, so he decided to open an auction house in Maple Leaf City first, and sell the rune paper in his hand first. Gu Bin saw that his prince was seeking stability, and he didn't say much.

Zhao Wuregret also rewarded Gu Bin with a perfect amulet, and after Gu Bin thanked him, he went to the members of the business group to discuss the specific matters of preparing for the auction house. Zhao Yi saw that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and he retreated easily.

Zhao Wuregret sent Steward Zhao away and returned to the study. After thinking about it, Zhao Wuregret decided to transfer the invisibility talisman to the current emperor Zhao Wudi, who is also his eldest brother, thinking that with this batch of paper talismans, he might be able to relieve a lot of pressure from the military. So in the letter, he explained again the use of paper symbols, and incidentally mentioned that if possible, an auction house would be set up in the name of the royal family in the capital.

After sealing the envelope, Zhao Wuregret knocked on the table three times and said, "Send these things to the capital." I saw a man in black walk out of the corner of the study, take something and disappear into the study.
