Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The auction was the first of its kind in the Xia Kingdom. Although Zhao Ran had clearly introduced the rules, the powerful and wealthy businessmen present still stared at the auction table with a wait-and-see attitude, their eyes full of curiosity.

    Zhao Ran had anticipated this scene for a long time. In order to be on the safe side, the first person to do anything must usually arrange an acquaintance. This is called "warming up" at best, but at worst.  It¡¯s okay to call it ¡°trust¡±.

    Now Li Cunqi plays such a role.  However, it is not absolute to say that he is a trustee. He really wants to sell his goods today. He has been holding these goods for more than three months and has never been able to find a market. Without him, the quantity is too large.  Li Cunqi had a leather goods shop in Xingqing, but after selling bits and pieces for so long, less than 10% of the leather goods were sold, which left him with a huge backlog of money, which made him very distressed.

    Liang Xingxia was familiar with him and knew his situation. When Zhao Ran asked to find a "caretaker", he immediately thought of this person.  When Li Cunqi heard that there was such an opportunity, he was not willing to let it go, so he immediately came to it.

    "Everyone, three months ago, I went to Ganzhou and purchased a thousand Gansheep skins. You are all businessmen and know the benefits of Gansheep skins, so I won't say more. It's just that the quantity is too high.  Big, I can¡¯t sell it for a while. I have urgent need of money recently, so I would rather sell it at a loss. The leather goods are displayed in the east wing of you. I think someone must have seen it"

    After introducing his fur goods, Li Cunqi nodded to Liang Xingxia.

    Liang Xingxia naturally played the role of an auctioneer. He stood behind a small table half a person's height, raised a small hammer, and hit the copper plate on the table.

    Hearing a "bang" sound, Liang Xingxia said loudly: "A thousand Ganzhou sheepskins from Li Ji Store have been inspected by Jinbo Auction House. They are well preserved and have excellent leather. They are all top grade. If there are any defects, Jinbo Auction House  Full refund guaranteed. The market price of each piece of Ganzhou sheepskin is one, two, and three taels. Today is a one-time auction with a base price of 300 taels! Each time the price is increased by 50 taels! Those who want to take pictures of these sheepskins, hold up the small sign just sent to you.  Just give a signal."

    After Liang Xingxia finished shouting, the audience immediately became buzzing, and everyone present could not help but whisper among themselves.  This price is equivalent to less than 30% of the market price, which can be said to be very cheap. It is just that you need to eat it all at once, so the quantity is a bit large, but even so, it is a very rare price.

    Less than half of the people present were wealthy businessmen, and they immediately felt excited.  The remaining dignitaries also had some livelihoods at home and knew some of the market conditions, so they couldn't help but start to think about it carefully.

    It¡¯s just that this is the first time to participate in the auction. Many people resisted the impulse and looked around to see how others did it.

    Seeing that no one responded to the discussion in the audience, Li Cunqi was a little anxious. He looked at Liang Xingxia, who told him to calm down.  Jinbo Auction House had already prepared, so how could the first batch of auction items fail?

    Someone in the audience finally raised a sign. This person's surname was Gao, and he was also the owner of a shop in Xingqing Mansion. However, few people knew that he was Gao Yanei's distant cousin.

    Liang Xingxia immediately shouted: "Gao Dongjia of Gaoji Shop on Beiya Street holds a sign, three hundred taels of silver! Does anyone else raise the price? Six hundred taels of silver can buy a thousand Gan Sheepskins. Does anyone raise the price? Jinbo Auction  We have experienced leather goods and they are all top quality. If there are any defects, we guarantee a full refund!"

    Liang Xingxia¡¯s reassurance added a heavy weight to this batch of sheepskins. Someone immediately couldn¡¯t help but try to raise a sign - as long as you buy it for less than 800 taels, you will definitely make a profit!

    Liang Xingxia immediately shouted: "The Housing Department Gu Le Lu Ze Mansion bids 350 taels! Is anyone else raising the price? Three hundred and fifty taels is the first time"

    "Four hundred taels, the first time of four hundred taels"

    "¡­Six hundred taels, six hundred and fifty taels, seven hundred taels! Seven hundred taels!¡­ Seven hundred taels, the first time, seven hundred taels the second time¡­ Seven hundred and fifty taels, is anyone raising the price?  Seven hundred and fifty taels for the third time! Deal!"

    Liang Xingxia was sweating profusely and swung the hammer down violently, declaring the auction of the first batch of items a success.  Li Cunqi was beaming with joy. He spent less than 200 taels on this batch of furs in total, which also included the carriage and freight. Today, he sold it in one fell swoop, making a net profit of more than 500 taels!

    The first batch of auction goods was successfully sold, which whetted the appetite of everyone present. As the second and third batches of goods were auctioned, the audience was silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the auction table.  Constantly calculating and weighing, those who bought were elated, those who didn't bought were either regretful or regretful, and those selling the goods were all beaming and excited.

    Yeli Huaide also participated in an auction. He took a fancy to a Tang Dynasty Hundred Refined Sword taken by a run-down nobleman. After continuous bidding, he paid a price of one hundred and sixty taels of silver.??Get it in your hand.  In addition to being very satisfied with the steel knife, what he was most proud of was the bidding process. He really enjoyed the feeling of suppressing all the bidding opponents. Looking at their depressed and gloomy faces, Ye Lihuaide was stunned several times.  I couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and smile.

    The first batch of salt, tea, porcelain, and silk sold by Chengji Store from the Ming Dynasty were also auctioned, with a total of 6,600 taels, 20% more than expected, which made the shopkeeper Li Laoshi smile on stage.  The second batch of goods he brought back this time is still in the warehouse. Zhao Ran's intention is to set the base price for the next auction based on the auction price of the first batch of goods. Now it seems that the income will definitely be higher.  layer.

    At the end of the auction, Liang Xingxia signaled everyone to be quiet. After the audience was silent again, a graceful and luxurious beauty appeared on the stage.

    Someone immediately recognized it: "Isn't this Ru Sanniang from Zuiyun Tower?"

    Someone was confused: "Why is the oiran from Zuiyun Tower here?"

    Some people have wild imaginations: "Are we going to auction Ru Sanniang's night companion? Hehe"

    Only a few people noticed the exquisite sandalwood box held in Ru Sanniang's hand.

    Just listen to Liang Xingxia shouting: "This is the last lot in this auction. Because the owner does not want to reveal his name, he will not be notified. After verification by Jinbo Auction House, this item is undoubtedly authentic. If it is false, we are willing to pay the transaction price."  Ten times the compensation! Please take a look at the last item on the lot - the secret elixir from Daming Dao Sect - Yangxin Pills!"

    As soon as Liang Xingxia finished speaking, everyone in the audience took a breath of air-conditioning. In everyone's astonishment, Ru Sanniang opened the sandalwood box with bare hands, and saw a pill placed on the golden silk, emitting a faint cold light.  .

    Many people could not help but stand up and reach up to their necks to look at the stage. Some people simply stood up and came to the audience to get closer to the pills in the box.

    This group of people are all powerful and wealthy businessmen who have seen the world. Many of them have also seen elixirs such as Wushen Pills, Guyuan Dan, and Hehe Powder, but most of them are passed down from Buddhism or given by the royal family. They are true Taoist spirits.  Dan rarely appears in Xia Kingdom.  Miraculous pills are rare in the first place, let alone coming from the Ming Dynasty. Everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts beating faster when they looked at this heart-nourishing pill.

    Liang Xingxia said: "Please come back and take your seatsYangxin Pills are very effective. They can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life. I don't need to explain the wonderful features. This Yangxin Pill is now available for auction, with a minimum price of one tael of silver!"  It can be regarded as a meeting gift for you all as the Jinbo Club opens today. Anyone who can take this photo will be personally served and administered by the oiran Ru Sanniang tonight! Now let¡¯s raise the placard"

    "One hundred taels!"

    "Two hundred taels!"

    "Three hundred taels!"

    "Four hundred taels!"

    ¡­¡­

    The bidding in the audience began to rise crazily. Amidst the shouts, Gao Yanei couldn't help turning his body sideways to Zhao Ran: "Brother Cheng, this thing was brought out by your Chengji Store, right? Brother Cheng,  It¡¯s really a big deal!¡±

    "Zhao Ran sighed: "The first shot always has to be fired, so I, Chengji Store, am willing to go all out."

    Seeing Gao Yanei gritting his teeth and wanting to say something, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't be anxious, Yanei. When I came to Xia Kingdom, I brought a total of two heart-raising pills. Please ask Yanei to take the remaining one back. I am a junior here."  I would like to express my gratitude to Uncle Gao."

    Gao Yanei's breathing was stagnant, he stared at Zhao Ran for a long time, and suddenly punched Zhao Ran on the shoulder: "Good friend!"

    Turning around, I saw that the bidding in the audience had not yet ended¡ª¡ª

    "One thousand taels!"

    "One thousand one hundred taels!"
