Chapter 214: Ying Wa College (2)
In the early morning of the next day, Ying Wa College was full of traffic. The rich squires of ten miles and eight towns came from all directions. There are men and women, all of them are rich and powerful, surrounded by beads, and they know that they are worth a lot of money at a glance.
Xu Heng and Tang Cong followed Liu Xunyi's instructions and methodically introduced the crowd into the Xiyuan Meditation Platform.
At this time, there were fifty-six Taishi chairs on the meditation platform. The lords and ladies each found their seats and sat down, while the attendants and servants stood on the sidelines with considerable interest, not daring to trespass.
Directly in front of it is a square table with a wooden box at the top of the table. At this time, the wooden box had been locked, and Liao Chuan and Liao Hai were standing on the left and right with knives, and no one was allowed to approach.
Others don't need to ask much, they can guess what is in the wooden box, it must be the document title deed of the Pan family.
Pan Yun and Pan Yuyin were busy greeting visitors from all over the world, because most of the guests were local people in Yingchuan, and they were no strangers to the Pan family's "golden boy and jade girl", and they also saved each other some embarrassment, and they greeted each other without a match.
As for Pan Wen, he and Liu Xunyi waited for the opening in the side hall.
"I really didn't expect that my Pan family would end up in such a field. Alas!"
Through the window, Pan Wen looked at the bustling guests on the meditation platform, a pair of old eyes, full of loss, and his heart was full of all kinds of tastes, indescribably uncomfortable.
Liu Xunyi said comfortingly: "Uncle Pan, don't worry, I will definitely find a good buyer and negotiate a good price later." Let you have enough capital to make a comeback in the future. ”
Pan Wen sighed again and said with a wry smile: "Why talk about the comeback? In the future, I just want my family to live a peaceful and stable life, and I will be content." After that, he glanced out the window again, and said wistfully, "If my father has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely blame us unscrupulous children and grandchildren." He worked hard in Yingchuan for decades, but we were defeated overnight. It's ......."
"If Pan Ba Ye knew about it, he would not want you to stay here and continue to suffer. Liu Xunyi interrupted, "So Uncle Pan doesn't have to blame himself, everything is ...... Providence. ”
"Everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone. Pan Wen laughed self-deprecatingly, "I am already a person who has been half-cut into the ground, if it weren't for Yun'er and Yuyin, I would definitely fight to the death with that dragon four." At today's sale conference, maybe Long Si will make some trouble. ”
Liu Xunyi reached out and gently patted Pan Wen's shoulder, and said with a relaxed face: "Don't worry, everything has me!"
"The master of the door, the shopkeeper Pan, the people are almost here. Suddenly, Xu Heng's voice sounded from outside the door.
Liu Xunyi and Pan Wen glanced at each other, and then asked, "Is Long Si here?"
"Not yet. Xu Heng hesitated, "Door master, are we still waiting for him?"
Liu Xunyi pondered for a moment, then resolutely got up and said, "Don't wait, get ready to start." ”
"Yes. ”
After about a cup of tea, Pan Wen, accompanied by Liu Xunyi, slowly came to the meditation platform.
As soon as everyone saw Pan Wen, the noisy scene suddenly quieted down.
At this moment, everyone's face is full of different expressions, there is sympathy, there is schadenfreude, there is disdain, there is arrogance, in short, there are all kinds of life, everything.
The former richest man in Yingchuan has now been reduced to selling his property, and regardless of the causes and consequences of this matter, today's sale conference alone is enough to make people all over the world poke Pan Wen's backbone in the back and scold him for being a loser.
"Today's ......" Pan Wen stood in front of everyone, his face was embarrassed, his eyes were hesitant, and even his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly. He was not nervous, but sad.
"I'm ...... today" Pan Wen wanted to speak several times and stopped, his throat seemed to be stuck with something, and he hesitated for a long time, but he never said the following.
tried hard several times, but Pan Wen returned in vain, which made the eldest lady and Pan Yun on the side anxious and sad, and Pan Yuyin couldn't help but whimper in a low voice.
At this moment, hundreds of eyes converged on Pan Wen, some people were puzzled, some people were at a loss, and some people couldn't help laughing.
Pan Wen's lips trembled violently, and after a long time, he slowly turned his gaze to Liu Xunyi, as if asking for help.
Seeing this, Liu Xunyi stepped forward quickly, blocked Pan Wen behind him, and said loudly: "Today's purpose, I think everyone knows it very well. Looking for clothes in Xialiu, he was entrusted by Pan's shopkeeper to help him sell part of the Pan family's property in Yingchuan in exchange for cash for other use. ”
Seeing Liu Xunyi come forward to relieve the siege, Pan Wen let out a breath of turbidity as if relieved, and slowly retreated to the side.
"Little brother, dare to ask if today's sale conference only needs cash?" asked a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body in the crowd.
"Silver tickets are also acceptable. Liu Xunyi replied unhurriedly, "But it needs to be cleared in person, and I will not be in arrears." ”
"It's nature. Another bejeweled woman looked Liu Xunyi up and down with great interest, and asked with a smile, "What a handsome and sturdy young man, I don't know what your relationship is with the Pan family? If I pay for the Pan family's things, I don't know if you can appreciate it...... Have a meal with me?"
Hearing this, Xu Heng on the sidelines wanted to step forward and scold, but was stopped by Liu Xunyi waving his hand.
Liu Xunyi said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to support the shopkeeper of Pan, all the people who came today are friends of the Pan family, since they are friends, then everything is easy to discuss." ”
After that, Liu Xunyi didn't wait for the woman to pick up again, he walked straight to the table, stretched out his hand to hold the wooden box, and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is the paper title deed of some of the Pan family's properties in Yingchuan, including a Pan family's mansion, nine large warehouses, twenty-two small warehouses, four large shops, seventeen small shops, forty cargo ships, and a land and water wharf under the command of Pan Huai Boat Merchant, this wharf is the largest land and water wharf in Yingchuan, with a total of six ferries, which can accommodate twelve cargo ships at the same time. ”
As soon as Liu Xunyi's words came out, many people in the audience had their eyes shining and their faces were greedy.
As we all know, nine times out of ten doing business in Yingchuan is inseparable from waterways, and almost all of the Pan family's industries are the best in Yingchuan, regardless of location or scale, they are the best choice.
Obtaining them is tantamount to opening up a wide range of financial channels, and you will be able to make money in the future. Therefore, how could these rich squires not salivate over this.
Liu Xunyi looked around at the whispering crowd, and said: "According to Pan Baye's last wishes, this Yinghua Academy will be donated to the local villagers free of charge for the younger generations of Yingchuan to study. ”
"Pan Baye is really noble!"
"Pan Baye is kind and charitable, and his merits are immeasurable!"
"The eighth master can be called the first good person in my Yingchuan, but it's a pity...... Alas!"
For a while, the sound of compliments and condolences to Pan Chuba continued to sound in the field. The Pan family fell into deep grief again, and couldn't help but hide their faces and cry.
"Please make a bid, little brother!" Someone suddenly shouted, "The Pan family has so many properties, how much does it cost to sell?"
"The Pan family's mansion costs 150,000 taels. Nine large warehouses, each of which costs 30,000 taels, for a total of 270,000 taels. Twenty-two small warehouses, each asking for 10,000 taels, a total of 220,000 taels. Four large shops, each asking for 100,000 taels, a total of 400,000 taels. Seventeen small shops, each priced at 30,000 taels, for a total of 510,000 taels. Forty cargo ships, each with five thousand taels, for a total of two hundred thousand taels. Panjia Wharf ......" Liu Xunyi said word by word, when "Panjia Wharf" was mentioned, the field suddenly became silent, and everyone stared at Liu Xunyi with nervous and curious eyes.
Liu Xunyi glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Panjia Wharf, the asking price is one million taels." ”
The price Liu Xunyi said did not cause everyone to exclaim. All of you are shrewd businessmen, so you are already familiar with the actual value of these things. The price quoted by Liu Xunyi today is actually far lower than their original value, so it is definitely worth the money.
In fact, this is what Pan Wen meant, he didn't want to ask for money, he just wanted to sell these things as soon as possible, and then take his family and leave the sad place of Yingchuan as soon as possible.
"To buy all the properties of the Pan family, it only costs 2.75 million taels of silver, is this really true?" Liu Xunyi's voice did not fall, and someone in the field had already calculated the total number, and said loudly: "If the land deeds are all there, I am willing to sell them all." ”
"I'll give three million taels to make up a whole number for the shopkeeper Pan. The bejeweled woman laughed. After that, he also threw a wink at Liu Xunyi, and asked with a smile, "What does the little brother think?"
The price has been raised by 250,000 yuan in a moment, and even Liu Xunyi has to sigh that these people in front of him have a lot of money.
"I'll give three million two hundred thousand taels. "There was another bid.
"Three million two hundred fifty thousand taels. ”
"I am willing to give three million three hundred thousand taels. ”
"You don't want to compete with me, I'll pay three and a half million taels!"
Of course, the bargaining depends on each person's ability, and whoever pays more money will have his own thing. I'll give three million 700,000 taels!"
For a while, the bidding on the meditation platform came and went, and there was an endless stream.
These squires and wealthy families competed for bids, and some simply joined forces to bid together, striving to pocket all the Pan family's property.
Seeing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but glance at Pan Wen, and there was a hint of crying and laughing in his eyes.
Pan Yun and Pan Yuyin, who were on the side, watched their own industries being fought over and over, and they inevitably had mixed feelings in their hearts, and their faces became very embarrassed.
In a few moments, the price has soared from 2.75 million taels all the way to 5 million taels, almost doubling.
"How?" A fat old man with a greasy face and a smile on his face slowly stood up, looked around, and asked with a smile, "But anyone is willing to fight with the old man again?"
"Sure enough, it's Qiu Million. Pan Wen looked unexpectedly bitter and explained to Liu Xunyi, "In the past, in Yingchuan, his Qiu Yuan ship merchant was second only to our family's Pan Huai ship merchant. This person's character has always been that he will not give up until he achieves his goal. Spending money is like dirt, and spending a lot of money is even more commonplace. The local people of Yingchuan jokingly called him 'Qiu Million'. Now he is the highest bidder, and it is not surprising. ”
Sure enough, after Qiu Million bid five million taels, the field suddenly fell silent. Many people looked at each other, looked left and right, and hesitated for a long time, but no one dared to speak easily.
Qiu Million seemed to be very satisfied with this result, he arched his hand towards everyone with a proud face, and laughed: "Thank you for being willing to give the old man this face, thank you!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a mixture of compliments.
"Since this is the case, the old man has the courage to accept Pan Baye's relics, and he will definitely carry them forward in the future. Haha...... "After that, Qiu Million walked towards Liu Xunyi and Pan Wen with a smile.
At the same time, a small servant who followed him hurriedly took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms.
Qiu Million took the silver ticket to Pan Wen and said with a light smile: "Nephew, here is 500,000 taels of silver tickets, you can accept it." The remaining 4.5 million yuan, you can go back to my house with me and get it. ”
Pan Wen's eyes trembled as he looked at the silver ticket, and an indescribable bitterness appeared between his eyebrows.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, do you want to check the document title deed first?" Seeing Pan Wen's inner struggle, the eldest lady hurriedly opened her mouth.
Qiu Million waved his hand disappreciatively and laughed: "No need! You are Pan Baye's family, and the old man can trust it." After that, he raised the silver ticket in his hand towards Pan Wen again, urging, "Nephew, why don't you accept it quickly?"
At this moment, Pan Wen's face turned pale, and he raised his eyes with difficulty to look at Qiu Wan, who was proud of the spring breeze, and then looked at Liu Xunyi. In the end, under Liu Xunyi's encouraging gaze, Fang stretched out his hands tremblingly, wanting to take the silver ticket.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a loud shout sounded in the distance, instantly interrupting Pan Wen's movements.
Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look back, only to see Long Si, accompanied by dozens of big men, striding towards the meditation platform.
"Ryusi!"
As soon as they saw Long Si, the Pan family looked angry. Pan Yun almost drew his knife and rushed forward, but fortunately he was stopped by Tang Cong in time.
"Long Si, what are you doing?" was ruined by someone, Qiu Million couldn't help but feel angry.
"Are you old and confused?" Long Si sneered, and after stepping into the meditation platform, he found a chair to sit down at random, crossed Erlang's legs, and smiled contemptuously, "Come here, of course, to buy something!
"Buying something, I'm afraid you're a step too late!" Qiu Wanwan sneered, "The old man has already bid five million taels of silver. You want to fight with me? Hmph! Even if I sell you, I'm afraid I won't be able to make that much money, right?"
"Five million taels is a fart!" Long Si snapped his fingers suddenly, and the bald man beside him understood, and immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and carefully handed them forward.
Long Si threw a thick stack of silver tickets to the ground at will, and jokingly said: "Lao Tzu will give six million taels!"
