Chapter 251: Making Something Out of Nothing
Zhang Tinghe turned his head and saw Huo Tianliang, who specializes in selling golden silk nanmu. Mader, as if no one has two money! So he raised the number plate: "Eight thousand taels is not much, alas, forget it, I accidentally broke an azure plate yesterday, let's be a little less." Ten thousand taels! ”
You chased after me, and soon the price of the pocket watch reached 30,000 taels. The few people who originally participated in the bidding became cautious, tens of thousands, and no one's money was caught by the wind.
Liu Jin frowned, glanced at Sixi, Sixi nodded slightly, turned around and got off the show. After a while, a group of maids served tea.
After a round of bidding, a voice abruptly joined the battle: "Ah, everyone, I'm sorry, I also like this pocket watch very much." But you're too stingy, aren't you just silver? Hum! Fifty thousand taels! ”
Several people turned around in unison, but they didn't know each other. Where do the nouveau riche come from? How dare you take a big one in the capital? Zhang Tinghe sneered: "Well, this benevolent brother is very arrogant, sixty thousand taels!" To follow or not to follow? ”
The businessman surnamed Lei also responded with a sneer: "What? Can't outsiders buy things in the capital? Eighty thousand! Who would dare to bet? ”
No way! This is a blatant provocation! Liu Xiaowei's eyes widened, gritted his teeth and raised the card: "Eighty-eight thousand taels!" Fight with us? Lose all your pants! ”
"Hehe, the tone is not small, the pen is too small! Is this the capital giant? It's not as good as me, a rich man in the countryside! Ninety-nine thousand taels! ”
Feng Shanming shook his head: "The water in the capital is deep, be careful of drowning!" Isn't it just a bit of money? One hundred thousand and one tael! ”
This businessman surnamed Lei suddenly had a pale face, as if he was afraid of threats other than words, and arched his hand towards several people: "Everyone, Lei is willing to bow down." After saying that, he put down the number plate and turned to leave the lobby, causing people to laugh.
Zhang Tinghe slapped his thigh: "Grass!" I knew I was bidding first. ”
Feng Shan Ming smiled yinyin: "I thought it was a dragon out of the water, who knew it was a paper tiger!" Shopkeeper Zhang, when it's time to make a move, hesitate. Ha ha! ”
Liu Jin finally put his mind at ease, don't smash it in his own hands, 100,000 taels, and it is not enough to compensate for selling himself. But it seems that it can still rise: "Everyone, the auction is not over yet, one hundred thousand and one taels for the first time!" ”
Seeing Liu Jin's appearance, several people became suspicious. All of you here are wealthy businessmen who know their roots in the capital, how can this surnamed Lei have an invitation? So several people stopped bidding and quietly watched Liu Jin's performance.
Liu Jin took a look and knew that these ghost-like guys had seen through their tricks. But so what? Our family doesn't believe that this surnamed Feng dares not to pay! So he continued to shout hoarsely: "One hundred thousand and one two for the second time, everyone, this pocket watch is only one piece, and the opportunity will not come again!" Has anyone bid? ”
Seeing that no one responded, Liu Jin had to shout again: "One hundred thousand and one two for the third time!" Congratulations to the shopkeeper, this pocket watch belongs to you. You can see clearly, the auction is like this. ”
In the dark room of Dingxiang Building, Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said to Zhang Yong beside him: "Lao Liu has two hits, and a broken watch was actually sold for 100,000 taels!" Well, Brother Wei's method is very powerful, Yang Ting and these people can govern the country well, and compared with Brother Wei in business, tsk, it is too much worse. ”
Zhang Yong responded with a smile: "Yes, Long Live Lord is right, literati are really not good at doing business." ”
"Let's go, this auction is already stable, I go back to sleep, these days, ah, it's really, too tired!"
Two hours later, two hours later, the proceeds of the auction had exceeded the 400,000 mark. After the auction, Liu Jin kept a few people from the jewelry store.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all giant merchants in the jewelry store in the capital, and we have a batch of treasures here, all of which have appeared at auction. The price is 300,000 taels, who is interested? ”
Bao Shuang sighed: "Father-in-law Liu, I believe you also know that Lord Yang also has a batch there." I only gave 30% of the price at the time! ”
Liu Jin shook his head: "Bao shopkeeper, this time and that time." Now after an auction, the prices of these treasures have been speculated. If you don't accept it, it's a big deal for our family to open a shop and sell it slowly, and the money will make a little more. Now our family is giving you a chance to make a fortune, and you can do it and cherish it. ”
Bao Shuang smiled bitterly: "Father-in-law Liu is really condescending if he doesn't do business." Lord Yang is not as good as you at this point, just in case! ”
"Hehe, in business, we don't take advantage of you, in the future, Fengxianglou can regularly send treasures to He Dehua Auction House, and we only charge you a handling fee."
Bao Shuang's eyes lit up, this is good! If that's the case, I've really taken a big bargain. Auction? Who came up with such a wicked idea? Tsk, it's just a piece of, wrapped in gold leaf, and it can be sold for a good price! "Is my father-in-law serious?"
"Nonsense, can we still lie?" Liu Jin proudly straightened his chest and looked around at a few people.
"Father-in-law Liu, Feng Wuzhai is willing to take over this batch of treasures!"
Bao Shuang was furious, but between the other party and his own strength, even the backers behind him were almost the same, and he couldn't help more than a thousand at all. So he immediately raised the price: "Father-in-law Liu, I am willing to accept this batch of jewels for 350,000 taels." ”
Feng Shanming also joined the battlefield: "The pawn shop is the best robe for the auction house!" Father-in-law Liu, 500,000, 500,000 taels, I will Feng Shanming immediately let people send money over! ”
Liu Jin laughed: "Everyone, don't fight. In this way, the price of this batch of treasures is 500,000 taels, and the few of you will divide it equally, and the auction house will be your special meeting! ”
Back in the Forbidden City, Liu Jin rushed to Kunning Palace. Zhu Houzhao just got up, saw that it was Liu Jin, and said with a smile: "Liu Companion, you have gained a lot today, right?" I'm guessing, 500,000 taels? ”
Liu Jin shook his head with a smile: "Long live the lord, it's higher!" ”
Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Oh? Higher? 700,000? ”
Liu Jin didn't answer, but he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Long live congratulations, long live congratulations, the slave maid also sold Lord Yang's share, a total of 1.2 million taels of silver!" ”
Zhu Houzhao stood up and asked hurriedly: "What?" How much exactly? ”
Liu Jin's pride loudly declared: "One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, all of which are cash silver!" ”
Zhu Houzhao sat back in the soft chair, there was no trace of joy on his face, he just closed his eyes tiredly, the corners of his mouth hooked an arc, and after a while, there was a slight snoring.
It's so tired, it's really tired! These days, I am fighting wits and courage with the ministers, and there is no peace at all. I want to rise up and set up a machinery manufacturing bureau, but I don't have any money in my hand. The gang of people in the household department watched coldly, and none of them shared the worries of the monarch's father, so they almost watched Zhu Houzhao's first cannon turn into a squib, and slowly became what Hongzhi used to be. Now it's so easy to get through the difficulties, but the first time is not to celebrate, but to relax! Zhu Houzhao is only thirteen years old after all!
