Chapter 30 Toshi
The two Yinzhou merchants have invested 50,000 taels of silver before and after, and the timing of their entry is late, and the purchase price of a single flower is about 18 taels. The two actually had the idea of quitting. But in the face of Lee's strength, do they have the courage to quit?
Once the snow lotus worth 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver is sold, it will have an immeasurable impact on the current price of the snow lotus.
The wealthy merchant named Pu Guatai calculated the money he could make up, and said stubbornly: "Li Erlang, I have a maximum of eight thousand taels here, otherwise I have to sell my property, but even if I sell my property, it won't be too late for a while." β
Li Propanol's face immediately looked a little unpleasant.
Seeing this, another wealthy businessman, Ah Le, thought for a moment, sent the five thousand taels that he originally planned to report back into his stomach, gritted his back molars and said, "I'll make up another 12,000, I just hope that Li Erlang won't forget about my kid." β
Li Bingol's face was slightly pale: "Don't worry, the two of you have also calculated a lot of strength, is my Li family reckless? It's just two eight grades, wrapped around me!"
The plan has been decided, the two wealthy businessmen went to raise money, and Li Bingol and Li Xingjiu sat speechless. After a long time, Li Propanol said slowly: "It's so easy for the Yeli family to hype up the hump, why is it so difficult for my family?"
Li Xingjiu comforted: "The Yeli family only earns a few dollars by hyping up the hump, how much does Erlang have to earn? This is a large number of more than 100,000 taels, and the difficulty during this period is incomparable. Moreover, these days I am also secretly thinking to myself, maybe snow lotus is not a very good thing to hype, the amount of this medicinal material in the country is not large, it is not comparable to hump meat, and it is really difficult to ship it. β
Li Bingol sighed: "You are right, after making a profit this time, let's think about it carefully and try to change the goods." Let's not talk about this for a while, tomorrow's auction must be arranged, and the price of snow lotus must rush up, including Ortai Mountain Snow Lotus!"
The first auction of the Jinbo Auction House in the summer was held as scheduled, and the auction received extensive attention from all walks of life in Xingqing Prefecture, and according to the total amount of 200 membership cards of the Jinbo Club, the number of bidders involved reached 196! Among them, there were some businessmen who participated in the auction by borrowing the membership cards of the club, and some merchants even contributed five taels to ten taels, just to borrow one day, which also caused the scarcity of the membership cards of the Jinbo Club.
Gao Yanei and Liang Xingxia couldn't resist the pressure and once again proposed to Zhao Ran to issue additional membership cards. After some discussion, the group decided to take down the houses on the east and west sides, expand the clubhouse first, and then issue another 100 membership cards in mid-May, of which 50 will be designated for other major cities in the country.
Today, the first courtyard of the clubhouse was crowded, and most of them sat under the stage waiting for the official start of the auction.
On the north side of the wall, red lint paper is pasted, and the names of dozens of goods are arranged from top to bottom. On the right side of each type of goods, the prices of the last ten auctions are marked in order, and on the back of the wall are the prices of dozens of other goods.
This wall has been called the "red list" by the powerful businessmen of Xingqing Mansion, and the numbers on the "red list" have also become the trading guide price of commodities of Xingqing Mansion. Many people are writing down and copying with pen and ink in hand, so that they can set their own buying and selling prices when they go back.
Bulk goods from all over the world are displayed in the wings on both sides, and many people are passing through them, either inspecting the quality of the goods, or bargaining, and the atmosphere is quite lively.
The trio of Zhao Ran, Gao Yanei and Yeli Huaide were in the south wing, looking at the lively scene through the window.
Gao Yanei sighed with satisfaction and said, "Brother Cheng, I still remember the scene when I first got acquainted with you, and I still remember the empty ...... of this mansion It's only been half a year, and it's already thriving. Sometimes I really want to quit my errand and stay here every day, be at ease, and make money every day!"
Yeli Huaide smiled: "I'm afraid it's because of the county lord of Rou'an, if it weren't for the county lord coming here every once in a while to learn the piano and chess, you might not be able to defend here." If it were to be replaced by me, I would have asked the adults in the family to propose to the Queen Mother, and you would have been rubbing it out. β
Gao Yanei said with a smile: "Little Hou Ye, it's not me who said you, you are a rough embryo, and you are straight to women, and you don't understand the amorous feelings at all." If you want me to say, the idea of the Cheng Dong family is positive, the gameplay is wonderful, only in this club, what is that, well, talk about love, talk about love, play is that heartbeat, if you marry home, you will become a yellow-faced woman in a few years, then what's the fun?"
Zhao Ran raised his glass and invited the two of them to drink: "Come, in order for the Yanei to taste what you wish here as soon as possible, and drink together!
The three of them laughed and drank the wine from their glasses.
Looking at the bustling scene outside the window, Gao Yanei suddenly said: "A few days ago, I accompanied the county lord to play chess, and she brought it up again, saying that every time Jinbo Auction House held an auction, there were too many people and too noisy......
Zhao Ran nodded: "That's true." I am going to discuss with the Ya Nei today, and when the newly purchased house on the east side is cleaned up, I plan to move the Jinbo Auction House and the bulk wholesale counter there, vacate the main courtyard here, and re-plan some things for fun. β
This is Zhao Ran's opportunity to create a pleasing woman for him, Gao Yanei understands, and points at Zhao Ran and laughs.
In the midst of chatting, on the auction table outside the window, Liang Xingxia had already appeared on the stage with an auction hammer, and the audience was suddenly quiet, hundreds of eyes stared at Liang Xingxia, and the atmosphere of the auction immediately became tense.
According to Zhao Ran's meaning, this auction is straight to the core, the first lot is 20 Tianshan Snow Lotus, not only that, but the next thirteen auction items are all Snow Lotus, accounting for more than half of this auction.
When Liang Xingxia reported the reserve price of the first batch of sixteen-leaf Tianshan Snow Lotus, the audience immediately sighed. The floor price of 20 snow lotus flowers is 400 taels of silver, and the average unit price has fallen by two taels compared with three days ago, and the final transaction price is 22 taels, of which only two bids have been experienced.
Immediately after that, the second batch of 36 Tanggula Mountain Snow Lotus was auctioned, and the final transaction price was 20 taels, and there was only one bidding.
Lot No. 3 is also Tianshan Snow Lotus, 50 flowers, called out of the starting price of 19 taels, directly breaking the psychological mark of 20 taels, although it was forced back to 22 taels of single price transactions, but the impact on the bidders in the audience is quite large.
It took half an hour, and 14 batches of 2,600 snow lotuses were all sold, with a total turnover of 51,000 taels of silver! The average transaction price finally returned to more than 20 taels. The price has been maintained and has not fallen on the red list, but the meaning of it is terrifying.
Through this auction, the various colors of snow lotus in the hands of Zhao Ran, Gao Yanei, and Yeli Huaide were basically cleared, and there were only a few dozen left in each person's hands. There was no arrangement for the Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus to participate in the auction in this auction, and they still had 800 Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus in their handsβββ which was used to smash the plate in the next auction.
As soon as the auction ended, a large number of businessmen gathered at the auction registration office, asking to add their snow lotus to the next auction.
Liang Xingxia returned to the room where Zhao Ran and the others were drinking with a straight face, and immediately smiled as soon as he entered the room: "There is no need for us to release the news, the people outside are panicked, and they are lining up to register to participate in the next Snow Lotus auction, and some people even set the reserve price at 16 taels, just to get rid of it." β
In order to suppress the price of snow lotus, several people discussed many methods, one of which was more ruthless, that is, to arrange for a certain family to die after taking Bayan Kala Mountain Snow Lotus, and through the price linkage between Bayan Kala Mountain Snow Lotus and Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus, directly drag Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus off the altar.
According to the plan of the two ruthless people, Gao Yanei and Yeli Huaide, they were going to arrange a real death! Zhao Ran couldn't bear it after hearing this. If he can win without unleashing this move, of course he is happy.
After the auction ended, the three people present on Yan Huilou's side were all as pale as earth, and among the total turnover of 51,000 taels of Snow Lotus, the three contributed 40,000 taels, and the remaining 11,000 taels were taken out by other merchants who were more gambling.
Puguatai and Ale now have no money to turn around, only Li Xingjiu still has 20,000 yuan, but looking at today's situation, how can the auction in three days be supported?
