    Zhao Ran took the scroll from Liang Xingxia's hand and slowly opened it, but there was a picture: "The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly."

    Why does it look so familiar?  His eyes turned to the lower left corner, and he almost choked on his tea.  Isn't this what I wrote when I was in Wujiyuan a few years ago?

    I heard Liang Xingxia proudly say: "This is an authentic work by a mountain visitor. I just bought it from a friend. He said that merchants from the Ming Dynasty brought two paintings to our Daxia. Princess Rou'an asked for them by name, and my friend kept them.  One piece. I always felt that this tea room was missing a painting and calligraphy, so I simply bought it, but my friend refused to sell it, which cost me a lot of money."

    Zhao Ran couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°How much money did you spend?¡±

    "One hundred and eighty taels!"

    Zhao Ran was speechless for a while, and wanted to ask clearly on the spot, did you, Liang Xingxia, pay for this money, or did you leave it to the public accounts of the association?

    But I heard Gao Yanei suddenly say: "Third brother, can you give me this word? I will pay 300 taels!"

    Hearing that Gao Yameni wanted to pay 300 taels for this calligraphy, Liang Xingxia hurriedly waved his hand: "If the Yameni wants it, just take it. A little money is not worth mentioning, it's just a picture of calligraphy."

    Gao Yanei smiled, took the banner and played with it in his hand.

    This style of painting is not consistent with Gao Yanei's usual playfulness. Zhao Ran couldn't help but wonder: "Yanei also studies calligraphy?"

    Yeli Huaide on the side threw a few roasted peanuts into his mouth, chewed them, and explained to Zhao Ran with a wink: "Old man probably doesn't know that our yamen is a famous young talent in Xingqing Mansion, but  All his 'talent' is used to deceive beauties. This time, he wants to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha - Princess Rou'an likes calligraphy, and our office plans to cater to her likes!"

    With a strange feeling, Zhao Ran watched Gao Yanei re-roll the calligraphy and stuff it into the wooden box. He thought to himself: I didn't expect that my calligraphy was worth so much. How about secretly writing a few at night to exchange for some?  silver?  Well, we can¡¯t let Liang Xingxia know about this, let Li Laoshi handle it!

    Several people joked with Gao Yanei about Princess Rou'an again, and Zhao Ran took up the topic again: "I just talked about the issue of shipment. I mean, we can start, but we need to control the quantity. Everyone has  There are quite a few snow lotuses of various colors. In addition to the Kunlun Mountain snow lotus, there are a total of 4,800 other varieties of snow lotus"

    Looking at Liang Xingxia, Liang Xingxia confirmed: "4160 sixteen-leaf flowers and 720 eight-leaf flowers, the total value should be more than one hundred thousand taels."

    Zhao Ran took the auction house account book handed over by Liang Xingxia, flipped through it, and said to Gao Yanei and Yeli Huaide: "In the past two months, in order to raise the price of Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus, Yan Huilou has completed auctions one after another.  12,000 flowers. They bought and sold them by themselves. They bought 6,300 flowers and spent 70,000 taels of silver. Lao Liang had been working hard recently and sent people to various medicine shops to inquire about the market. He even sent people to go to Kunlun Mountain.  , inquire about Xuelian¡¯s situation"

    Liang Xingxia hurriedly said: "This is all arranged by the Chengdong family, I just follow the rules."

    Zhao Ran continued: "We did some calculations. According to conservative estimates, Yan Huilou has at least 10,000 snow lotuses, accounting for more than 60% of the Kunlun snow lotus on the market in Xingqing. The purchase cost of each flower is about 8 taels."

    Gao Yanei couldn't help but laugh: "It's really not low, our cost is less than 2 taels."

    Liang Xingxia nodded: "This is the effect of the targeting strategy we implemented. In addition to spending some money at the beginning to raise the price with the Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus, we hardly invested much money afterwards, and the various types of Snow Lotus followed the Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus.  Wait, if Yan goes back to the building, the Li family will use real money to help us raise the price"

    Gao Yanei slapped his legs and laughed: "Every time he helps us raise the price, we charge him a handling fee, hahahaha!"

    Yeli Huaide thought for a while and said with a little worry: "If they sell at the current price, they can earn at least 100,000 taels of silver"

    Zhao Ran took a sip of tea: "It depends on how much money they have to put into it. To put it bluntly, this is still a game of capital after all. If the other party has a lot of capital, we can't beat it."

    At the tenth spring auction held by Jinbo Auction House in early March of the 18th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty and the first year of the Zhenguan year of the Xia Kingdom, the transaction price of the sixteen-leaf Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus exceeded the 20 taels per flower, reaching a high price of 22 taels.  This has made countless people more enthusiastic about pursuing this product. All the big merchants in Xingqing Prefecture are talking about Snow Lotus, predicting when its price will exceed twenty-five taels, thirty taels or even forty taels!

    Driven by the Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus, the price of the Tianshan Snow Lotus that followed exceeded 18 taels per flower, the Tanggula Mountain Snow Lotus was sold at 16 taels and 5 cents each, and the Bayan Hara Mountain Snow Lotus was sold at 16 taels.  Ertaishan Snow Lotus also hit a new high with a price of 15 taels.

    In the auction three days later, the price of Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus soared to 26 taels per flower. Driven by this, Tianshan Snow Lotus and Tanggula Mountain Snow Lotus bothBreaking through the 20 liang mark, Bayan Har Mountain Snow Lotus and Ortai Mountain Snow Lotus are only one step away from the 20 liang mark.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that few people have noticed that, except for the Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus, the transaction volume of other types of Snow Lotus has exceeded 100 each, which is more than 50% more than before.

    The crazy market is still going on. At the 18th spring auction, the unit price of the sixteen-leaf Kunlun snow lotus rose to 27 taels. Other types of snow lotus also continued to rise. At the same time, the number of transactions continued unnoticed.  Increased by half.

    Such a crazy market situation made Gao Yanei, Ye Li Huaide, Liang Xingxia and others stunned. Regarding this, Zhao Ran could only remind these people repeatedly: "Calm down! Calm down!"

    In Zhao Ran¡¯s heart, this is really nothing.  In the world we traveled to, the Dutch fried tulips and the Chinese fried clivia. It was much crazier than this!

    In the next few auctions, Zhao Ran, Gao Yanei, Yeli Huaide and others sold more than half of the various snow lotuses in their hands according to the original plan of small batches and multiple batches, and made a lot of money.  Full, Zhao Ran alone made a net profit of 30,000 silver!

    In the private room in the secret room of Yanhui Tower, Li Bingchun and Li Xingjiu looked solemn. In addition to them, there were two more big businessmen from Yinzhou in the private room.  In order to raise the price of Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus, Li Bingchun and Li Xingjiu have invested a huge amount of silver. The total amount is more than Zhao Ran expected, because in addition to supporting the price at Jinbo Auction House, they also have to invest in the Kunlun Mountain origin and Xingqing.  Big cities such as , Yinzhou and other cities are constantly scanning goods, causing a shortage of goods in the market.

    The Li family has spent 150,000 taels of silver, and the unit price of the sixteen-leaf snow lotus in their hands is not eight taels, but close to ten taels!  With such a huge investment, even with Li's wealth, he still felt a huge burden on capital turnover.

    Li Zhizhong was in the central position and controlled the imperial edict. Li Liangfugui was the commander-in-chief of the Shun Supervisory Army in the right chamber. He held the Iron Kites cavalry in his hands. The two brothers were regarded as the top nobles of the Xia Kingdom, and their wealth in the mansion was astonishing.  But with such wealth, it is absolutely impossible to spend more than one hundred thousand taels of silver in one go.

    It is true that the two brothers own large tracts of pasture and herds of cattle and sheep. It is true that they own Fenglin Mine. It is true that they occupy thousands of acres of fertile land in the Hetao Irrigation Area. It is also true that their annual salaries and rewards are extremely generous. The Li family's mansion is also equipped with luxurious and rare furnishings.  The treasures are dazzling, but there is only so much money that can be used in a hurry.

    Therefore, in desperation, Li had to introduce these two wealthy businessmen from Yinzhou so that you could further increase the price of Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus.  At this point, two wealthy businessmen from Yinzhou have also invested fifty or sixty thousand silver.  At the current price, the snow lotus in everyone's hands is worth four to five hundred thousand taels of silver, with a profit of more than two hundred thousand!

    But if Xuelian doesn¡¯t take action, it will always be wealth on paper. If it is not realized, everything is fake, just numbers!

    What worries everyone now is that during the recent period, after spending 30,000 taels in a row, the unit price of Kunlun Snow Lotus has only increased by less than 2 taels, making it increasingly difficult to increase the price.  The reason for the current situation is the sluggish price of snow lotus from other producing areas.

    Taking the sixteen-leaf snow lotus as an example, the price of Tianshan snow lotus has been hovering around 21 taels recently, while the price of Tanggula Mountain snow lotus fluctuates between 20 taels and 19 taels.  It dropped by nearly one tael before. Affected by this, Kunlun Mountain Snow Lotus has never been able to break through 30 taels, which is still 10 taels short of Li's previous psychological price.

    Now that he has found the crux of the problem, Li Bingjin must work hard to solve it. The purpose of everyone's gathering today is to scrape together a sum of money to pull up the snow lotus produced in various mountains that is holding them back, so as to drive the Kunlun Mountain snow lotus to continue.  Dash upward.

    Li Bingjin had already reported this matter to his father Li Zhizhong and brother-in-law Li Liangfu. It must be said that the power of these two brothers in the Xia Kingdom was really staggering. In just three days, they reported to their close relatives  Relatives and friends from all parties loaned 40,000 taels of silver to Li Bingchun and Li Xingqing, and promised that another 100,000 taels would arrive within a month.

    At this point, the Li family is already burning the boat, or to put it another way, they have been stimulated by the expected huge profits and are quite unable to stop.
