As soon as the Gu family's carriage stopped, it attracted the attention of countless passers-by, and people rushed to see the excitement surrounding them, and soon the entire street was surrounded by water.

The door of the carriage slowly opened, and Gu Shun jumped directly from the carriage.

"It's the little shopkeeper of the Gu family's Shunfeng Dart Bureau, and it's good to have less shopkeepers."

"Gu Gongzi, I finally met the real person today."

"Gu Shao's shopkeeper is not the son who was deceived by the Zhang family. That Zhang family is so hateful, every time I pass by its door, I have to spit before leaving. ”

"The young shopkeeper is getting more and more like a shopkeeper, if only I could marry him."

"You're all fucking people, so let's save it."

"Anyway, now that the young shopkeeper has no marriage contract, I want to be his wife, it doesn't seem too much."

"The happiness of father and son, who doesn't want to have it, Chu Xiuru, that woman, is really hateful, the revenge of the husband is not shared."

"The letter girl is willing not to eat meat for the rest of her life, and the shopkeeper can look at me."

"Those people from small families who have been arrogant and arrogant in Jiangnan City recently, should really take a good look at what makes a young master."

In the face of the onlookers, or exchanging praises, greetings, or conjectures about eating farts, daydreaming whispers, Gu Shun didn't pay attention to it, he turned around and waved to everyone, and then followed the Jiangnan Mansion and entered the auction house with the experience of the Division.

The experience department is the agency in charge of the cashier's transfer within the prefect's yamen, and of course it will also be in charge of the ownership and registration of land deeds.

The person who had been instructed by my godfather to get the title deed was none other than a governor of the Governor's Division.

After coming out of Gu's mansion, Gu Shun went to his godfather's mansion first, and his godfather wanted to accompany Gu Shun out in person, but he still had political affairs to deal with in Jiangnan City, so he sent the experience of the experience division to accompany Gu Shun to hand over the auction house and pawnshop.

Hearing that the young shopkeeper of the Gu family and people from the government were coming, the steward and men of the Yuantong Auction House hurriedly came out to greet them.

"The steward of the small Yuantong Auction House pays a visit to your lordship. Gu Shao is a good shopkeeper. I don't know what the two of you are doing today, if you want to entrust the auction, we will definitely give the best conditions to the young shopkeeper. ”

"I'm here to inform you of a good thing, Shopkeeper Gu Shao spent money to buy the ownership of this auction house, and from today onwards, this auction house will be owned by Shopkeeper Gu Shao.

The specific procedures have been completed, and the prefect originally wanted to come and see in person, but he couldn't leave because of something, so he had to order me to take Gu Shao's shopkeeper to inform him that in the future, Gu Shao's shopkeeper will be the shopkeeper of Yuantong Auction House and Junze Pawnshop next door. ”

As he spoke, he handed the document stamped with the seal of the Jiangnan Mansion to the steward.

Although the auction house and pawnshop were given to Gu Shun by the Tartar prefect, it was announced to the public that Gu Shun bought the two shops, which was in line with the procedure.

The stewards and the guys at the auction house are blinded, and there are still such good things in the world.

The steward unexpectedly took the paperwork, glanced at it, and said with an ecstatic expression: "Thank you Lord Prefect, thank you Shopkeeper Gu, we will do our best in the future to look forward to Shopkeeper Gu." ”

The ownership of Yuantong Auction House has changed several times over the years, and it can be described as a bad fate, from the earliest Li family brothers to start a business, to being included in the Zhu family.

After the Zhu family was exterminated, it became the property of the Zhang family, and after the fall of the Zhang family, the auction house was temporarily detained by the Jiangnan prefect.

With the change of owners of the auction house and the increasingly unstable situation in Daqi, the business of the auction house is not as good as before.

In the year of famine, starvation was everywhere, and Daqi implemented harsh governance, so that the people were dissatisfied, and there was even a peasant riot on the border of southern Xinjiang, and the demon sect of Chuzhou had movement again.

Prosperous antiques, gold in troubled times, rare treasures are not worth eating and drinking, and business is naturally difficult to do.

But now, the young shopkeeper of the Gu family actually bought this auction house, and the auction house is equivalent to the big tree of the Gu family and ascended to the sky in one step.

Gu Shun looked left and right at the environment of the auction house, Yuantong Auction House is the largest auction house in Jiangnan City, and there are a lot of decorations on display inside, such as jade agate, bronze calligraphy and painting, jewelry and jade, famous swords and ancient swords, etc.

Before the Han Dynasty, there was no special auction agency, and the general auction was divided into two types, one was the official sale hosted by the government, and the auction was generally part of the family property, land deeds and buyout slaves and maids of the confiscated officials.

The other is the charity sale held by the Yizhuang, the scope of the charity sale is very wide, generally the gentry and the rich and the common people donated real estate, antiques, daily necessities and even livestock and vehicles, this kind of auction according to the highest price, all the proceeds are used for the purpose of disaster relief, often not profitable.

Later, before the overthrow of the Han Dynasty, the law was relaxed, the people were panicked, and the landlords and rich people began to sell their family property and land in large quantities in order to flee, hoping to exchange them for gold, silver and copper coins that would retain their value.

Jiangnan City has a pair of Li family brothers, active minds, wandering outside heard about the auction house, came back to open the earliest Yuantong auction house in Jiangnan City, this is the predecessor of the auction house.

Now that the world has changed, the Li family brothers have long passed away, and the Yuantong Auction House has changed hands several times, and now it is in the hands of the Gu family, which can be regarded as ushering in the second spring.

"I don't know if Mr. Steward obeys the name, how many people are there in the auction house now?" Gu Shun looked around and asked casually.

Although Gu Shun is only six years old now, and his voice is still very immature, the steward does not dare to have any slackness, after all, behind Gu Shun is standing the three great gods of Shunfeng Dart Bureau, Yunda Commercial Bank and Jiangnan City, and they can't be avoided no matter what.

The fate of offending him is miserable, and the Zhang family, who is now in disrepute, is the best example of the past.

"Looking back at the shopkeeper, the small surname is Zhuang, the name is Ji, and he has already managed this auction house when the shopkeeper of the Zhu family was still there.

At present, there are a total of 16 people in Yuantong, including auctioneers and treasure connoisseurs, 25 apprentices, and some people doing odd jobs here, and there are almost 100 people in total. ”

"There are so many people, Steward Zhuang, how much can the turnover of the auction house reach every month?" Gu Shun asked again.

Hearing Gu Shun's question, Zhuang Ji was also a little surprised, he thought that Gu Shun would come here to stand and swear ownership, and he would be the shopkeeper, but he didn't expect him to ask so many slightly professional questions, and he was also confused.

Now the auction house has been in a state of loss, except for a few apprentices and clerks, most of them are arranged to come in, and they basically don't see each other a few times a month, but they still get salaries and empty salaries.

Gu shopkeeper has just arrived, if he knows that this store has been in a state of loss, it will be over if he turns around and leaves, if he can integrate the auction house into the Gu family's business territory, even if they don't work hard, they can basically achieve financial freedom.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Ji hurriedly pretended to think, and began to compile data on the spot: "Shopkeeper Gu, our Yuantong Auction House is currently able to ..."

Gu Shun looked at him with a smile, and he had already used his mind reading to see his mind clearly.

The auction house has been upside down for so long, no one manages it, and it is natural to cheat for personal gain, and every time there will always be some acquaintances in it, and over time, the auction house will form a huge system that is becoming more and more bloated and the tail is too big to fall, which Gu Shun must get rid of first.

Listening to Zheng Ji read a lot of data, Gu Shun interrupted him and said, "Okay, let the account room bring the property account books of the last year and let me take a look." In addition, I also asked the steward Zhuang to draw up a list of outstanding abilities and reliable character for me, and I will promote a group of new people on the basis of merit. ”

Zheng Ji's face froze, and his heart became even more flustered.
