Chapter 148: Little Grandfathers, Pick Up the Guests
"Eight...... Eighty thousand taels? Zhu Su didn't react yet, and Xu Yungong, who was sitting opposite, had already stood up with a surprised face.
He knew about glass, and it was said that he was refining glass in the mountain valley behind Zhuangzi under the control of a group of disabled veterans who smoked every day. The delicate glass mirror of the person in the room of the Fifth Highness who can shine is even greedy for him, a small prince, how can he not know that this glass is a good thing?
But 20 pieces of glass products can be sold for 80,000 taels? The little grandfather, who was a rough arithmetic, immediately calculated that each piece had to sell for at least four thousand ......
Hiss! Even if glass is a good thing, isn't it too outrageous to sell for 4,000 taels a piece? Looking at the merchants and nobles who came out of the garden with regret, and even beat their chests because they didn't buy it, Xu Yungong felt for the first time that the little grandfather of the Wei Mansion was a dirt bun: Is there really so many people rushing to buy such an expensive Ah Wu'er?
"Fifth Uncle, what is the process of this auction?" Li Jinglong found a blind spot, looked at Zhu Su and asked. Even the antiquities of the Qin and Han dynasties were not sold so expensive, and the reason for this must be the word "auction".
"Go back and look for Shen Wang, let him talk to you." Zhu Su waved his hand, but he was a little excited. For this auction, he asked Shen Rong to invite the major gentry and nobles of Yingtian to the mansion for a banquet in advance, of course, the point was actually to show Shen Rong the three-foot-high glass sitting Buddha placed in front of the main hall of the Shen family Buddhist Hall. In order to best show the extraordinaryness of this sitting Buddha, Zhu Su personally operated, using a variety of optical props to light the sitting Buddha to ensure that no matter which angle must shine, the most amazing thing is that whenever the sun shines into the Buddha hall, the sunlight penetrates the sitting Buddha and reflects on the shadow wall, and the colorful Buddha light surges behind the head of the sitting Buddha, just like the real Buddha descends into the world.
The southerners worship Buddha, and according to Shen Rong's report, some people were shocked when they saw this spectacle, and they knelt on the ground to pay a big salute. After going back, he spread the miracle of the Shen family's glass Buddha to the neighbors. It can be seen that the propaganda is very successful. When everyone in Tianfu was curious about the origin of the seated Buddha, Zhu Su let people release the news that there would be glass seated Buddha to buy at auction, and it stands to reason that everyone should rush to it. Your Shen family, a businessman, can please sit on the Buddha to bless the heirs of the source of wealth, and my Zhang Sanjia and Li Sijia are still unacceptable?
Such a big momentum turned out to be only 80,000 taels......
couldn't help but whisper a little unhappily: "It's only 80,000 taels, and sure enough, those wealthy families in Jiangnan haven't reached the point where they are as gold as iron as they were later......"
The expectations were raised by the auction plot of other traversers, and I thought that this auction would be able to collect at least tens of thousands of taels at a time.
Xu Yungong and Li Jinglong, who were sitting opposite, were already stupid, and the others didn't understand, but the sentence "only 80,000 taels" was heard clearly when the two of them sat closely. The eunuch Xiangdeng had already called out to hit the sky: "Ouch, my little ancestor, 80,000 taels is too little?" This silver sea can directly bury the old slave and me to death! ”
"It's Shen Er's family background, his legs trembled when he saw this amount, and now he is still paralyzed in the chair backstage!"
Shen Er is Shen Wang, the second eldest of the Shen family, and Shen Jianuo's business accounts are all handled by him. The two tremors that have seen the world are frightened by such big businessmen, it can be seen that this is indeed a large number.
"So, it's true that I'm greedy." Zhu Su put the fan of "Wealth Sources Widely" together, and it was just that something that cost less than 100 taels was sold for 80,000 taels, and what was there to be dissatisfied. After all, he is still in a hurry for quick success, and he doesn't just make money by selling glass.
Using the glass Buddha as a gimmick to attract people is just the beginning.
"Jiujiang, Yungong. Have you had enough tea? ”
"It's time for the guests to come, too. Let's go out with His Highness to pick up guests! ”
"Ah...... Yes? Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong glanced at each other, how could His Royal Highness's greeting be like urging Sister Yao to go to work.
In other words, which customer did they pick up?
……
"Ahh Outside the Lu Yuan! Congratulations! The glass Buddha you photographed in your hand is really beautiful! Let me wait for a good life to envy! ”
At the entrance of the garden, a few unsuccessful businessmen recognized a buyer who had photographed the glazed Buddha, and couldn't help but congratulate him.
"To be able to invite such a Buddha back to the Buddha hall is really brilliant!"
"Tsk, that Buddha light, I don't know how much karma can be dissipated for the family! Blessed are the Lu Yuan! ”
"I don't change my money! Gee. It's a pity that the financial resources are insufficient, but let the Lu Yuanwai take the lead in the ......"
"Are you willing to cut your love? When I think about it now, I always feel that I didn't increase the price and lose tightly, and I am willing to add another hundred taels ......"
"One hundred taels is also stingy. If Lu Yuanwai is willing to cut his love, I am willing to add two hundred taels! ”
Twenty glazed Buddhas, nineteen of which were taken by honors. The sons and daughters of the nobles who came to participate in the auction saw the "Buddha light" refracted by the sun, and their eyes were red, and such a Buddha statue placed at home would definitely be able to dissipate the karma of the elders in the family. These businessmen don't dare to rob others.
The only one that did not fall into the hands of Xun Gui was bought by this Lu Yuanwai. Someone wanted to add some money and buy this Buddha statue......
"Hey, cut love? Let's see if you dare! The merchant surnamed Lu couldn't help but feel proud when he heard the sour tone in everyone's words, and even some people wanted to buy it at a higher price.
"Where is such a true Buddha brother blessed? This time it was actually ordered to be photographed, to be filial piety in the Hou Mansion Buddha Hall, and pray for the Hou Ye's blessings. ”
"My marquis, now I am in the imperial village, please see the Fifth Highness, please see me!"
Everyone sighed in unison. No wonder this Lu Tieji is willing to pluck out so many hairs today, it turns out that he was ordered by his master. This Lu Yuanwai was originally a domestic slave in the Hou Mansion of Ji'an. In addition to going out to do business for the Hou Mansion with the waist of the Hou Mansion after being a slave, he also had a minute or two of means, and he made a big family business in just a few years.
But this man behaves without taboos, and does not seem to be afraid of ghosts and gods. He is very stingy and willing to pay a lot of money to buy this glass Buddha, which is really beyond everyone's expectations. Now that Fang knew that it was personally ordered by Ji Anhou, Fang showed a look of sudden realization.
Is it something that Ji'anhou wants? No wonder this Lu Tieji is so refreshing today. Ji'an Hou is deeply favored by the emperor, but it is not something that these businessmen can provoke, and those who want to pester Lu Tieji to buy it at a higher price have to keep their mouths shut.
Now, we can only hope for the next auction.
Shifting the focus away from the auction, some merchants immediately noticed that there was something unusual about this Zhuangzi. Someone looked at the cement road under his feet and suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, the stones used for paving the road in this Zhuangzi are so luxurious!" is so hard and flat that it is no less than bluestone, isn't it looking for a stone mountain to open a mountain to take stones? How much silver taels does this cost? ”
"Haven't you heard of it outside the horsemen? The road in the Bifeng Imperial Village was built by His Royal Highness King Wu with new means. At the beginning of the auction, I quietly researched that this thing on the ground looks like a stone instead of a stone, and it should be a new material! Looking at the glass is nothing, this thing on the ground is the biggest way to make money! ”
"Shhh Don't be heard! It is said that His Majesty personally said in the court meeting that His Royal Highness King Wu is a son of a god, but I am afraid that this statement is true, this way is the means that His Royal Highness learned from the gods! ”
"The Shen family followed His Royal Highness, I used to only laugh at him for digging his own grave, but now it seems that it is a big opportunity! Whether it's an auction or this way, there are great business opportunities. There must be a lot of people who want to seek to mix in the business of His Royal Highness King Wu. I don't have to raise my voice, but the fewer peers who react, the better! ”
As he spoke, he was a little hungry. I went out of the city early in the morning to participate in this auction, but until now, except for a few cups of tea, the grain of rice has not entered, and many businessmen's stomachs are growling. Glimpsing the land iron chicken Shi Shiran walking into a building next to the garden, everyone realized that next to the garden was actually a huge restaurant.
"Let's go! Let's go have some food! The hunger in the stomach was unbearable, and he faintly noticed that there was something unsimple in this village, and thought that after finishing the meal, he just continued to walk around, and most of the merchants rushed to the restaurant very naturally. It will take a few hours to enter the city here, and if you go back to the city and eat again, you will starve to death. Today's people are either the sons of noble people or wealthy businessmen, all of them are pampered people, can An can suffer this crime?
"Huh?" The horse clerk looked at the back of Lu Tieji who walked into the restaurant, and suddenly let out a startled voice.
How does Lu Tieji's entourage look a little like the housekeeper in Prime Minister Hu Cheng's mansion?
"What's the matter, Horseman?" A businessman who is a good peer asked.
“…… It's okay, maybe I'm wrong. ”
The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, the steward of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion, how could he be a long-term follower for a businessman? The horseman shook his head, amused by the ridiculous thoughts that popped into his head.
