Chapter 293 Snow Lotus Soaring into the Sky

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jinbo Auction House¡¯s eleventh winter auction was held as scheduled. Among them, auction item No. 7 attracted particular attention. This was a batch of snow lotus produced in Kunlun Mountains. According to Jinbo Auction House¡¯s standardized process, it was recorded as Kunlun Mountain Dragon.  Yamaguchi No. 1 indicates the place of production and batch.

    There are a total of eighty snow lotuses in this batch, each with sixteen leaves. They are all individually placed in sandalwood boxes, which looks extremely high-grade.

    Snow lotus has better curative effects, so it is not cheap in the market. Especially in the past month, the market price of Kunlun Mountain snow lotus has been rising day by day, and has increased by 30%.  But when the starting price of this batch of auction items was revealed, many wealthy businessmen who participated in the auction were shocked - the total price was 320 taels, which is equivalent to 4 taels per flower!

    This price is equivalent to the current market price!

    What concept is this?  The current market price of four taels is the retail price. Generally, the wholesale price is five cents lower than the retail price, and the bulk wholesale price is one tael lower than the general wholesale price.  As soon as this low price comes out, it means that the price of Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus has doubled!

    As the auctioneer, Liang Xingxia asked twice in a row, and the audience was silent. Everyone was obviously unable to accept such a high price.  The owner of the goods was Li Xingjiu, a businessman from Zuochuanzhai under the Kunlun Mountains. After he came on stage, he praised the batch of snow lotus in his hand to great effect, but the audience remained silent and no one accepted the price.

    Li Xingjiu was not in a hurry, he seemed to have expected it, and he always had a smile on his face.

    Zhao Ran, Gao Dayanei, Yeli Huaide and others sat in the west side room and watched coldly, drinking tea and leisurely.

    After a while, a merchant in the audience finally raised a sign and quoted a base price of 320 taels.  Li Xingjiu's face showed slight surprise, and his eyes wandered around the audience, seeming to be looking for something.

    But the auctioneer Liang Xingxia on the stage suddenly speeded up and soon made the final decision.

    Gao Yanei in the wing clenched his fists and muttered, "360 flowers." Zhao Ran and Yeli Huaide raised their glasses and clinked them gently, smiling at each other.

    The next lot No. 11 is surprisingly a snow lotus, but it is not a Kunlun Mountain snow lotus. It is marked as Tanggula Mountain Gongci Peak No. 1. There are 30 pieces in total. The starting price is 60 taels of silver.  Affected by the price of 4 taels per flower for Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotuses that had just been reached, the deal was finally sold for a total price of 80 taels, an increase of 60% from the market price.

    Lot No. 15, Ortai Mountain No. 1 Snow Lotus, was also affected. The price increased by 50% and was sold at 3 taels of silver per flower.

    That night, Li Xingjiu, a businessman from Zuochuan Village, hurried to Yanhui Tower.  In a secret room in the Yan Hui Building, Li Bingchun was hugging two young and beautiful prostitutes, and was joking with them. When he saw Li Xingjiu arriving, he signaled the two prostitutes to go out.

    Li Xingjiu picked up the wine cup on the table, drank it in one gulp, and licked his lips: "My mouth was split with the shouts on the stage. Now I have some admiration for Liang Xingxia. This job is really not that easy!"

    Li Bingchun smiled, filled Li Xingjiu's cup, and asked, "How's it going? Looking at you like this, do you think it's done?"

    Li Xingjiu nodded, then shook his head: "The price has gone up, but it is others who have raised the price."

    "Oh? Someone can afford such a high price? Who is it?"

    "I didn't know this. I haven't seen it before. I came down to inquire about it once, and I heard that it was a merchant from Lingzhou."

    Li Bingchun said calmly: "This person does have some brains, so let's let him make a profit. What is the final transaction price?"

    "That's 4 liang per flower."

    Li Bingjin was stunned for a moment, then complained: "Why don't you increase the price to buy? At least there are bidders, such a good opportunity How did you arrange it? If you take the opportunity to raise the price to 5 taels or even 6 taels, wouldn't you get twice the result with half the effort?  !¡±

    Li Xingjiu's face turned red: "My nephew went out for the first time. I originally wanted him to have some experience. I thought it wouldn't be difficult but someone interfered He is inexperienced"

    Li Bingchun said: "Forget it, I didn't make any mistakes. I understand your thoughts. It's not wrong to want to help the younger generation. I just need to give you more guidance to make him smarter."

    Li Xingjiu nodded repeatedly, and then asked cautiously: "Erlang, what do you think should be done next? Do you have any instructions from Shiren?"

    Li Bingchun waved his hand: "The plan has been decided, what more orders do you have? Your Excellency has spread out the stalls, you and I will do as we are told, and we will continue in three days. The starting price is 6 taels, one hundred flowers!"

    In the first month of the eighteenth year of Jiajing, the entire Xingqing Mansion was agitated about two major events.

    The first is that the current leader of the Xixia Kingdom, Li Qianshun, changed his reign to Zhenguan and abandoned the reign name Yong'an that had been in effect for three years since he ascended the throne.  Zhenguan is the reign name used by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the British ruler of the Tang Dynasty. The seventeen-year-old Xixia ruler changed it to Zhenguan, and the ambition contained in it is self-evident.

     The entire top management of Xingqing Mansion is busy with the matter of changing the Yuan Dynasty.  Grand ceremonies were held, kings worshiped heaven, and amnesties were issued. Each event was more lively than the other. When the Gaotai Temple located in the north of Xingqing Prefecture held a large Dharma conference, the entire Xingqing Prefecture was excited.

    The second one may not be as dramatic in terms of political influence as the change of ruler to Yuan Dynasty, but it is equally well-known among high-ranking officials, wealthy gentry, and businessmen.  The price of Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus has begun to skyrocket on the water sign of Jinbo Club. The price of a sixteen-leaf snow lotus has reached 18 taels each, and the selling price in the market has reached 24 taels!  The market price of Eight-leaf Snow Lotus has exceeded 50 yuan, which has increased tenfold in just over two months!

    Affected by this, the prices of Tanggula Mountain Snow Lotus, Ortai Mountain Snow Lotus, Bayan Har Mountain Snow Lotus, etc. have also risen all the way, increasing by seven to eight times.

    Snow lotuses are different from the dromedary camels that Jinbo Club had previously hyped. They grow on the top of mountains and are born in cold ice and snow environments. There are not many of them. Although this world is full of spiritual energy, snow lotuses are not like the world where Zhao Ran came from.  Although it is rare, it can be considered valuable, so the price can be said to increase immediately when it is speculated.

    Humans are social animals and have a strong herd mentality. With the price of snow lotus rising all the way, not only the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but also the wealthy and small business families with a few spare money at home also took out their money and began to sell it in various industries.  Shop for prescription drugs.  After all, the curative effects of snow lotus are there. Who doesn¡¯t suffer from three diseases and five disasters?  If you can't buy it when you urgently need snow lotus as medicine, wouldn't it be a desperate situation?

    Only those poor families, or ordinary people in Hirado who have just made enough food and clothing, have not been involved in this wave of speculation about snow lotus. The price of snow lotus is one tael per flower, 10 taels per flower, and 20 taels per flower. They cannot afford it either.  .

    In the hot market of snow lotus, those who contributed the most are those businessmen who are very speculative and gambling. They go around to buy snow lotus, then hoard it and watch the Jinbo Meeting. The price of snow lotus on the water sign changes every day.  Then he happily calculated how much his wealth had increased.  Some people even pawn their property or even borrow money from various places to eat all the snow lotus that appears on the market in order to get rich overnight.

    Zhao Ranmao was in the teahouse in the garden behind his clubhouse. The charcoal on the small red clay stove burned brightly, and the water in the copper pot began to boil in a moment.  Zhao Ran took off the copper kettle from the fire and brewed three cups of hot tea on a coffee table made of natural teak root carvings. The green leaves in the teacup stretched out soothingly and danced gently in the boiling water.

    Gao Yanei took the tea cup to the tip of his nose and took a deep sniff. He couldn't help but sigh: "The Chengdong family makes good tea. The color and fragrance are really refreshing. Although it is a bit bitter, the bitterness is sweet and the aftertaste is endless! Since then,  After drinking Chengdong's tea, I can no longer get used to the tea at home, with all the messy condiments and milk, what the heck! Unfortunately, the adults in my family are used to it, so I have to endure it."

    Zhao Ran tightened the snow leopard fur coat wrapped around him tightly and praised with a smile, "Gao Yanei has become a refined man from now on", and then asked Ye Li Huaide: "Are you ready, young marquis? When will we go to war? Before we leave.  Let¡¯s serve wine to the young Marquis.¡±

    Ye Lihuaide used an iron hook to pull out a pile of peanuts from the ashes under the stove. While peeling the shells, he said: "It's almost done. I'm just waiting for the last batch of leather armor to see if I can catch up with this shipment.  If I can make it in time, I will buy another batch of thick clothes for my sons. If I can't make it in time I didn't think the peanuts from the far west were good before, but now they eat them, and I didn't expect them to be so delicious"

    Just as he was talking, Liang Xingxia opened the thick curtain and came in, holding a scroll in his hand. He smiled and said to Zhao Ran: "Dong Cheng, look, I received a good item today."
