Chapter 492: It's easy to get tens of millions

With Liu Jili's talk and laughter, it was popular. The auction has gradually entered the stage of bayonet shouting, and this is the link that Zhao Xing, who is hidden in the background, is most concerned about.

"Just now, I have introduced and explained the cause, process, effect, and business opportunities of making toothpaste, and now we have entered the stage of shouting. It should be noted that in addition to the local merchants in the Jin Kingdom who do not need agency rights to operate new goods in the Jin Kingdom, the new products operated by the Crouching Tiger in the rest of the states must have clear agents, otherwise they will be regarded as disrupting the market and will be severely investigated by the Jin Kingdom!" Liu Jili's tone gradually hardened, because the next competition could not be calm and courteous.

"Let's start the auction of the agency rights of toothpaste in the Sili area. Considering that toothpaste is relatively cheap to produce and can be promoted, although the size of the product is small, the potential business opportunities are still huge. For the exclusive agency right of toothpaste in the wealthy Sili area for three years, the reserve price given by our preparatory committee is 100,000 taels of silver, and the merchants participating in the auction will float up by 2,000 taels of silver each time, and finally the one with the highest price will get ......" Liu Jili finally tore off the warm and veined ground mask and began to cut the meat from the merchants in the audience.

"Henan Yin Liu's family is willing to give 102,000 taels!"

"The merchant numbered five hundred and thirty-seven is willing to bid 102,000 taels to buy the exclusive agency right of toothpaste in the Sili area for three years! Is there a higher price than this?" Liu Jili began to inquire down according to the way Zhao Xing was trained.

"Jingzhao Yin Zhao's family is willing to give 104,000 taels!"

"The Li family of Hedong County is willing to pay 106,000 taels!"

......

"The Wang family of Hongnong County is willing to give 120,000 taels!"

With the gradual increase in the bidding price, the atmosphere at the auction site has gradually heated up. Some big families who are interested in winning the agency rights of the most important commodities, although they disdain the opportunity to pay no more than five commodity agency rights on small commodities such as toothpaste, but they are also interested in watching how others are shouting and preparing for their own bidding.

"Smack!" There was a crisp sound on the stage, and Liu Jili shouted: "Congratulations to the Hongnong Wang family, the No. 423 merchant has obtained the exclusive agency right of toothpaste and toothbrushes for three years in the Sili area!"

"Let's auction toothpaste's three-year exclusive agency in Yanzhou!" Liu Jili then shouted.

At this rate, the agency of a commodity is divided by region and auctioned at least eleven times, and the reserve price of the agency will vary accordingly according to the actual population and affluence of each state. For example, the same is the agency of toothpaste, the most populous Sili area, the Wang family of Hongnong County finally got the agency at a high price of 120,000 taels, and the taxi family in Jiaozhou only used 10,000 taels of silver to obtain the exclusive agency in Jiaozhou. It's just because Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, the population is sparse, and it is not rich, so the price difference is so huge.

Of course, this kind of auction rule did not arouse objections from the merchants participating in the auction, on the contrary, it also won unanimous praise.

By the time Liu Jili finished auctioning off all the agency rights of toothpaste in various states, nearly an hour had passed, and despite his hard work, he had earned back 800,000 taels of real money for Zhao Xing! This is just the beginning, and the auctioned goods are also toothpaste with medium business opportunities, and some of the finale good things in the back may not be auctioned to a sky-high price!

Liu Jili took a break after shooting the toothpaste, and it was naturally Qin Yilu who was replaced.

The No. 2 commodity auctioned by the Qin Governor was a meat product called canned food, the main raw material was made from the finest beef and mutton produced in the pastures in the northern Jin Kingdom, and the taste was so delicious that it could be stored for up to half a year without spoiling. For Yangzhou, Wuzhou and Jingzhou in the south, which are rich in grain, animal husbandry is not developed, and the output of beef and mutton is very low, so they are particularly energetic in the fight for the agency of canned food.

The first day of the auction ended after the agency of the sixth item was fully auctioned, and many merchants were very interested in some important goods, such as honeycomb coal stoves, fine gold and silver jewelry, farming equipment, four-wheeled carriages, bras, fine white paper, reading glasses, etc., were deliberately left behind by the organizing committee, so they continued to whet the appetite of these merchants.

That night, Liu Jili and Qin Yilu came to the Taifu Mansion to report the situation to Zhao Xing.

"The six commodity agency rights sent today have obtained a total of 2.4 million taels of silver, which is 500,000 taels more than we expected, which can be described as a good start!" Liu Jili said with some excitement.

"Well, it seems that we are still underestimating the amount of money that these merchants can mobilize. Zhao Xing nodded in agreement, and then continued: "From tomorrow, there will be some important commodities put into auction, and I have to trouble the two of you to continue to encourage merchants to participate in the auction." ”

"Don't worry, this kind of profitable business is only held for ten days, you just let me work from the first day of the new year to the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, I am also willing!" Qin Yilu, a fan of wealth, said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll continue to wait for your good news tomorrow!" Zhao Xing said encouraging the two.

On the second day of the auction, the agency of the "honeycomb coal stove" was finally auctioned off by merchants in various states at a high price of 4 million taels;

On the third day of the auction, the agency of the agricultural iron equipment "ploughshare" was finally auctioned off by merchants in various states at a high price of 3.5 million taels;

On the fifth day of the auction, the agency of women's health care clothing was finally auctioned off by merchants in various states at a high price of 6 million taels;

On the tenth day of the auction, the "Four Books" and other books published by the Shangdang Commercial Press and the Taihang Academy joint school team were finally auctioned off by merchants in various states at a high price of 9 million taels!

The whole auction ended successfully on the 10th day, and the exclusive distribution agency rights of 96 kinds of new goods put into the exhibition in Crouching Tiger City in various states in the world were all auctioned off by more than 3,000 merchants who came to participate in the trade fair, bringing a total of more than 43 million silver wealth to Zhao Xing!

It should be noted that this is only an agency, not an actual business transaction with one hand and one hand delivery. According to the agreement, after signing the relevant contracts, these merchants must first pay a deposit of 30% to Wohu City, and when the first batch of goods are delivered to the merchants, they will pay 30% of the fee, and at the end of the year, together with the balance of the purchase of goods, the remaining 40% of the agency fee will be handed over to Wohu City.

There are also a few reasons why merchants should pay in three steps. Although Zhao Xing nominally earned a fortune worth more than 43 million amounts of silver, it did not mean that these merchants could come up with such a huge amount of silver or gold at the same time, because according to the amount of silver and gold mined at that time, the entire Han Dynasty could not come up with such a huge amount of precious metals.

Installment payment can effectively alleviate the difficulty of merchants to pay with cash and silver, and at the same time increase a large amount of income for the loan business of the Jin State Agricultural and Military Merchants and Gold Bank. In addition, doing business is about win-win cooperation, which is not only Zhao Xing's speech at the opening ceremony of the trade fair, but also the way of business. The business practice of killing chickens and eggs and fishing for eggs will eventually bring itself down. The wealth of the people of the world can never be earned by one family alone, and the most important thing is to be able to control the direction of wealth flow.

Although it was only a down payment of 30%, there was also an income of 17 million taels of silver, which was a sufficient timely rain to alleviate the current economic pressure faced by the Jin Kingdom. Zhao Xing could finally stop worrying about spending money for a period of time, but he didn't expect that because this overly successful auction had severely stimulated the sensitive nerves of some people, and then a conspiracy against the Jin State peasants, soldiers, merchants, and gold banks began to brew secretly.
