Chapter VIII Auctions
"Okay, the matter has been settled, so let's go back now, just in time for the auction to start?
Looking at Zhao Tiezhu, who still wanted to speak, Chen Zhang directly demolished the ground
Just kidding, if you keep letting them talk, the devil knows what else to say.
Even if it was Zhao Tiezhu, he didn't say anything, if he told Liu Fucai, Qian Ruxue and others about this matter, it was estimated that his head would hurt again
Therefore, instead of pouring like this, it is better to take the words apart directly.
Zhao Tiezhu opened his mouth, although he really wanted to make some exhortations, but he was not Liu Fucai's person after all, but he didn't have the ability and courage to nod
As long as the lord said something, he naturally wanted to obey, and hurriedly spoke
"Yes, the auction of the modern trade and trade of Lord Lord's lord has begun, do you want to go and see it before?"
Chen Zhang nodded
"That's right, everything has been dealt with when I come in, so I naturally want to go over and see what this auction is all about
As he spoke, he got up and walked behind him, and the soldiers followed closely, and the soothsayer would have already been directly pressed to a special place to be guarded
If it weren't for the adults' arrangement, he would have been directly pressed into prison. Now that he has the arrangement of the adults, he is pressed to the palace to take care of him temporarily, waiting for the follow-up treatment.
The trade island was crowded with people, and a large number of merchants were patrolling back and forth, and these merchants were like hunting dogs, and they had looted all the oriental goods sold on the entire island
Obviously, for them, as long as they can buy any goods from the East, they can make a lot of money by transferring them to the West, and I believe that this is a thing that is completely unproblematic.
"Haha, it seems that you have entered a lot of things this time, and you are really envious"
"Hehe, what's that, we're just a little bit of a joke here, I heard that the most powerful is an auction like an exchange, if you can enter the auction, I believe you will make more money by then."
"That being said, not all people are eligible to enter the auction, and I heard that the amount of money that enters the auction is quite large."
"It's not as good as being in the Carlos Islands, but it's not easy to qualify for the auction here."
"But then again, I think there is some incomprehension, since there is really so much money, can't you just go to the Carlos Islands? There are even more goods like the Carlos Islands, so why do you have to stay on this trading island and grab some of these goods from us? It's simply not worth it."
"That's right, that's right, but I think most of the people who can get to this trade island are actually assets that are not too rich, and if they were rich, I'm afraid they would have already gone to the Trade Carlos Islands, where would they stay here"
"That's true, but then again, even if the other party's wealth is not rich, it must be more than us."
"Hehe, that's of course, that's for sure."
The blond-haired and blue-eyed crowds of people on the sea chattered and talked
It can be seen that the sea carried out throughout the trade island is basically divided into two main categories
The first category is personal, they don't have much money, to put it bluntly, it's a small fight, if they come to the Carross Islands, it is impossible for them to buy any goods from the East with their ability, and they can't even eat even vegetables, so they can only come to this coral islands and come to this trading place to try their luck.
What they buy is what some of the vendors on the island sell, relatively small, but the advantage is that the cost is not too high, and they can buy it if the money is too high
If you sell it at that time, you can make some money.
To put it bluntly, it is a small businessman and a hawker, and the income that does not earn much is just a hard fee
Other than that, these are people who have a little bit of money, people who have a little bit of money, and their money assets are not too much
In the Carlos Islands, you can't bargain with anyone at all.
Even if you go, you can only take what others have taken at most, but it's different with Trade Island
They can earn a lot of goods, at least they can get the first good goods
Everyone also knew very well that although the goods given to them by the trade island in front of them were because they came here, the distant barbarian army looked at them pitifully, so they left some goods for them
But even such cargo is a rush for many seas
At the same time, the auction of oriental items such as porcelain and silk continued to be in full swing throughout the trading venue, but this situation was completely unexpected by everyone present
The whole auction hall was filled with many merchants, but the atmosphere was unusually cold, no, to be precise, the atmosphere was calm and not as warm and fierce as they imagined
"What's going on? What the hell is going on, and what are these businessmen doing? ”
The host of the auction wiped his forehead accurately, and his teeth creaked
Although he has not organized many auctions, he also clearly knows that every auction can be said to be quite enthusiastic, and many merchants are quickly grabbing it
But this time he was really very calm, he opened his mouth and said loudly, "The reserve price of this batch of tea is 1,000 taels of silver, has anyone increased the price?" Each price increase costs 100 taels, and each price increase costs 100 taels"
"I'll give 1100 taels"
suddenly
One of the merchants of the lake spoke
As soon as his words fell, the host immediately spoke
"1100 taels, is there more than 1100 taels, is there more than 1100? Sea more"
As he spoke, he looked at someone with a straight gaze, and according to the usual situation, someone must have started to increase the price at this time
After all, to be able to come here, there is also some money in hand, and the price of 1100 vehicles to buy this batch of goods can be regarded as blood earnings, even if the price of the whole is increased to more than 5000 vehicles, there is still some money
According to the usual routine, it should be possible to start raising the price again now, and then push the price all the way up.
Now except for the merchants in front of them, everyone is unusually quiet, and all kinds of merchants do not speak, as if the price in front of them is already very high
This came as a surprise to everyone present. The host wiped the sweat from his forehead
"1100 taels. 1100 taels, is there anyone who has 1100 taels, is anyone willing to pay 1100 taels? ”
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes had an incredible look in his eyes
But the merchants below didn't even have any of them
This feeling made the host's face constantly change, and in the end he could only shout
"1100 taels once, 1100 hundred taels two twice, one thousand one hundred twenty three times"
"Deal."
As soon as the words fell
There was an instant burst of applause from below.
The maritime merchants who won the bid laughed proudly
Obviously, in their opinion, this period can also be said to be blood
What's going on?
In the box of the exchange, Chen Zhang raised his eyebrows when he looked at the scene in front of him, although he was not a person who knew business
But even the stupidest he knew that something seemed to be wrong with the current situation
"Like an auction house. It shouldn't be to shoot more than usual and then raise the highest price"
"Now it's not so much about raising the price, but about directly closing the deal at the lowest price, what is the difference between this and money?"
Zhao Tiezhu on the side was also full of doubts, frowned himself, and said
"Dashuai, I don't know what's going on, in normal times, we would be robbed of any goods we sold. But this time is different, they didn't even increase the price, it is possible that they really did not fancy this batch of goods. ”
Zhao Tiezhu's brows furrowed, and he said cautiously while frowning
He didn't know what was going on
Come to think of it, there are no other possibilities besides this
Chen Zhang nodded slightly. He had a sense that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything
After all, as the saying goes. Trade is the most important thing. You come and go, what you pay attention to is the other party's willingness, people refuse to buy it, and you can't force the other party to buy it
Such a move is absolutely inappropriate
Chen Zhang nodded slightly, then continue to read
The auction of skin care products in the following was also unexpected by Chen Zhang, all the prices were purchased at the reserve price of the base, although there were also one or two additions in the middle, but each time the price started at the lowest
But there weren't many people fighting
This made the host also feel that there was a thought that was not quite right. Wiped the sweat from his forehead. looked into the box
He didn't know what to do next.
suddenly
Instructed to slam his hammer down on the table, he spoke
。 Now that the first half of the auction is over, everyone takes a short break for 20 minutes, and the second half of the auction continues. ”
In the entire auction hall, the originally tense atmosphere disappeared, and everyone chattered
Some of the businessmen were even more triumphant, talking and laughing
"This time our plan really worked, our plan really worked"
Directly between the conversations, several businessmen gathered
One of the businessmen looked at Li Zixiong with admiration on his face, "Sure enough, as Chairman Li said, if we only need to carry out bid-rigging, then we can take out all the goods in this batch at a very low price."
"Hehe, now we are really making a lot of money, and we can also buy other goods with the extra money"
"I'm just afraid that the extra money may not be able to buy other goods."
