Glancing at the people standing, Han Du said, "Have you made up your mind? Should you leave or stay? If you want to leave, please hurry up and don't waste everyone's time."
The eyes of others looking at Dong Guangzheng and others were also full of contempt, wishing them to get out of here.
Dong Guang was so angry that he almost vomited out his blood. These people not only defected before the battle, but also added insult to injury. If I leave now to watch, wouldn't it be so easy for them?
In this case, it is even more impossible for them to succeed easily. Dong Guangzheng swallowed his breath and went straight back to the chair to sit down.
The few people who had come back and sat down earlier saw Dong Guangzheng's behavior and looked even more disdainfully at him. Dong Guangzheng's status in these people's hearts plummeted.
Since Dong Guangzheng could come back and sit down, he naturally didn't care about others' disdain. When he came back, he would just go back to his old ways, and at most he would lose face. As long as he doesn't care, no one can do anything to him. But it would be foolish for him to just leave and hand over his interests to others. After all, even under Han Du's conditions, it doesn't mean that the mirror business can't make money, it just doesn't make as much as they originally imagined. Compared with other businesses, Han Du's profits are quite generous.
When Xiong Ting saw everyone sitting down again and no one left, the stone in his heart fell steadily. He was dumbfounded by the conditions proposed by Han Du just now, thinking that no one would agree to such conditions. Unexpectedly, he lost in the end, and none of these people were willing to leave. This made Xiong Ting look at Han Du with admiration in his eyes, and at the same time, he was convinced.
Han Du looked calm, not the slightest bit happy because everyone stayed. Seeing that it was almost done, he said calmly: "Since everyone agrees with my proposal, everyone can bid."
Waved to Xiong Ting.
Xiong Ting quickly came forward with a stack of paper in his hand and distributed the papers to everyone one by one.
While Xiong Ting was distributing the papers, Han Du explained: "We will use a secret auction for this auction. There are eight areas on each piece of paper. You can fill in the numbers behind the corresponding areas. You can fill in as much as you are willing to pay to buy the selling rights in this area. You can fill in none, or you can fill in all eight, as you like. After filling it out, fold the paper and give it to me. That’s fine, let me look through it, and the one with the highest price will get it.”
After listening to Han Du's words, Dong Guangzheng had not received the paper yet. Perhaps out of dissatisfaction with Han Du for ruining his plan, he couldn't wait to ask: "In the final analysis, it is up to you to decide who owns the sales rights. After all, we gave Only you know the price, so you can give it to whoever you want. I'm afraid this is unfair."
After glancing at Dong Guangzheng, Han Du was not angry in the face of his deliberate trouble. He explained: "I will read out the highest bid on the spot. Then it will be clear whether you are the highest bidder? Do you have any other questions? ?”
Dong Guangzheng was speechless by Han Du, and Xiong Ting just handed the paper to his hand. After a casual look, he stood up suddenly and asked quickly: "You, why are there only fourteen provinces? There are no Zhili?"
Han Du smiled and said: "I have always said that there are fourteen provinces, and I have never said that there will be Zhili. I can just do it myself, so I won't bother Dong Dong's family."
Han Du had already thought about this, and he would not let this area of Zhili go out no matter what. If these people do not agree with his conditions, then Handu can run the mirror sales here in Zhili by himself. If these people agree, then by keeping Zhili in their own hands, they will have an area under their control, and they will not be afraid that these people will rebel. Even if they betrayed him halfway, Han Du would not be left without any protection.
Moreover, Zhili is the most prosperous area in the Ming Dynasty. Han Du will naturally keep it to himself, and he will only give it to others if he is mentally ill.
The reaction of others was not as violent as Dong Guangzheng's. It could even be said that they had no reaction at all.
Seeing this situation, Han Du understood. The reason why Dong Guangzheng reacted so fiercely was that he had preemptively placed Zhili under his jurisdiction. Now that I have suddenly lost it, I am naturally unwilling to accept it. Others have no chance of getting here, so naturally they don't care much about it. For him and the others, whether Dong Guangzheng wins Zhili or Han Du wins, the result is the same for them, and they naturally don't care about it.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Dong Guangzheng's face, Han Du sneered in his heart, "When you people joined forces just now, I couldn't target all of you." Now you are alone, am I still unable to deal with you?
If you still want Zhili, go ahead and dream!
"If Dong Dong's family has no intention of participating, please ask Mr. Dong to leave and don't waste everyone's time here. Just go out and turn right. I apologize for not seeing you off." Han Du looked like he didn't care about Dong Guangzheng. Said softly.
But when things have reached this point, how can Dong Guangzheng leave in despair? Even though he knew Han Du was ridiculing him, he could only knock out his teeth, swallow blood, and sit down angrily.
Dong Guangzheng, who understated the pressure, completely lowered his head. After so many ups and downs, Handu's public auction of the right to sell mirrors was finally able to proceed.
As time passed, the papers handed out one after another were received into Han Du's hands, and the last one was taken back. Han Du raised his eyes, smiled slightly, and read out the highest bids in each region. As Han Du finished reading, the merchants felt as if a stone had fallen in their hearts when they heard those who had quoted their own quotations, and they breathed a huge sigh of relief. Those who had not heard their quotations naturally felt very frustrated and disappointed.
It's a coincidence that among fourteen people, everyone can quote eight prices. In the end, no one got two at the same time, and the eight regions each belonged to eight people.
Han Du doesn't care about this. No one is better than two. It is impossible for Han Du to hand over two places to one person at the same time. If this happens, Han Du will still have to waste time. Explain to him, let him choose one of the two, and then give the remaining one to the person with the second highest price.
However, among these eight people, none of them had followed Dong Guangzheng just now, which surprised Han Du.
