After a few days, Ying Feiyu finalized the auction items, ordered Lu Ruyan to redecorate and clean the auction venue, and then publicized it in newspapers!
"Is there going to be an auction in Xianyang?"
"Auction? What is an auction?"
"Should we just come up with something and let everyone bid together?"
"I see! What are those things?"
"I read in the newspaper that... there are a lot of famous people's calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, exquisite jewelry and the best villas in the commercial city! The other underwear, high heels, perfume, and game consoles should all be gadgets, right?"
"Yeah! I've long heard that villas in Commercial City are the most sought-after. I guess this will be the highlight of the entire auction!"
"should be……!"
After reading the newspaper, the people started talking about it one after another.
I didn't take the clothes or shoes seriously at all.
I thought a few pieces of clothing were worth nothing at all!
But after Wang Ben and others saw the newspaper, their eyes immediately lit up.
Although they don’t know what high heels and perfume are, they know about game consoles!
I couldn’t play this thing before even if I was rushing to play it!
There is only one in the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and His Majesty will not take it out easily!
Kang Anping had previously spent a huge sum of 11,000 gold just to rent it for one day!
Unexpectedly, it has now become an auction item. It will be sold at the auction, so I have to buy it no matter what!
That stuff is more interesting than any other entertainment activity now!
The newspaper is released half a month before the auction.
The reason why it was announced so early was to give the wealthy and distinguished people in Da Qin some time to prepare in advance and take the train to Xianyang!
The traders in Xianyang were also very happy after seeing the newspaper.
It’s not that I’m interested in the auction, but I’m happy for the economy that will be boosted!
Every time there is a big event in the city, it will attract many outsiders.
After these people come, they have to eat, stay in a hotel, and bring back some specialties, right?
In this way, their store's business can increase several times!
"Xiao Liu'er, hurry up and buy some more briquettes. Our restaurant will definitely be busy during the auction. Don't let the charcoal fire break at this juncture!"
"Okay, shopkeeper, don't worry, I'll buy it right now!"
"Hey...wait a minute! Let's notify the farmers who supply the ingredients and ask them to send more vegetables and meat over the next few days!"
"Okay! Does the shopkeeper have any other instructions?"
"Then there's the drinks..."
Thinking of the wine, the shopkeeper was a little hesitant, "The people coming this time must be rich and distinguished people from all over the country. They must not be used to drinking ordinary wine! Then... order another two hundred kilograms of the best wine!"
There is a big price difference between good wine and ordinary wine, which makes the shopkeeper somewhat distressed.
But then I thought about it, although the purchase price is high, I can still make just as much money after selling it, so I made up my mind to order high-priced drinks!
"Okay, the shopkeeper can rest assured!"
After receiving the order, the waiter ran out very quickly to carry out the matters assigned by the shopkeeper.
Just like restaurants, whether they are teahouses, cloth shops, coffee shops, or milk tea shops, they are all busy stocking up, fearing that when the time comes for customers, they will be out of stock!
Even pharmacies want to take advantage of this opportunity to sell more.
Nowadays, in addition to selling normal Chinese herbal medicines, pharmacies also sell health care products.
For example, herbal tea that can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, locust powder that can replenish the body, etc., as long as it is related to health, they sell everything!
Even if those foreign dignitaries are in good health, is there anything wrong with bringing some locust powder to replenish their health?
The weather is hot, so there’s nothing wrong with drinking some heat-relieving tea, right?
Therefore, from the day the newspaper was released, they all started busy!
The same goes for Lu Ruyan, who started stocking up the stores while supervising the workers in setting up the auction venue. She was extremely busy!
After all, this is the highlight of this episode.
The venue is on the third and fourth floors of a luxury store!
The booth is at the innermost side of the third floor, and there are independent sofas and chairs in front of it.
There is also a small table next to each sofa chair, and some snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds will be placed on it!
Wealthy businessmen from all over the place are here to give money, so we must make them sit more comfortably!
The top of the booth is open.
In other words, if you sit in the private room on the fourth floor, drinking tea and eating snacks, you can clearly see the exhibits introduced on the booth if you lower your head for a moment!
The host of the auction was recommended by Huang Yuan and his name was Zhuang Yuanhang.
He is an excellent craftsman under his command.
Not only does he know a lot and do his job well, he also thinks very divergently and speaks in a humorous manner. He is the most suitable person to be the host of an auction!
After Ying Feiyu exchanged all the exhibits, he specially called people over for training.
After all, there are many things here that do not exist in this era, so they need to be explained in detail.
We can’t bring out the exhibits then. Is the host stunned?
That would be embarrassing for Dafa!
This training needs to be kept confidential. Even if Zhuang Yuanhang's parents asked, he wouldn't say a word!
"Woooo..."
During this period of time, the trains in Xianyang City were very busy.
Every time a train arrives at the station, a large number of people get off!
Everyone is curious. No matter whether they can buy it or not, they all want to go to the auction to see it!
The entire venue is huge, with hundreds of seats on the third floor alone.
If anyone wants to watch the excitement, they can stand on the edge, which can accommodate at least two hundred people!
There are no strict requirements for entering the venue. They will not read invitations or verify assets. They only need to bring their own identification and register at the door!
The folk customs in this era are simple and simple, and ordinary people will not join in the fun.
Anyone who wants to get in must have some wealth!
Those who think they are inferior and have no intention to buy, and who are just watching the excitement will consciously stand on the edge.
Those wealthy businessmen from all over the country who have rich families will sit in the front.
Everyone is in business, and the famous people from all over the place know each other. Everyone knows who should sit in which position!
Once wealthy businessmen from two places are of equal strength, they will not fight over seats. One party will always give in.
This is His Majesty's place. Not to mention fighting, even those who usually have loud voices have to restrain themselves here!
Not only are we afraid of His Majesty’s power, but we are also afraid of His power in business!
Your Majesty's properties are spread throughout the Qin Dynasty and are related to all walks of life. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just a word from Your Majesty will have his business closed and he will not be able to survive in the local area!
And the fourth floor is not a place where everyone can go!
There are only a dozen private rooms in total, and only those with high status or wealth are eligible to go upstairs!
There are soldiers guarding the stairs, and you must verify your identity before you can enter!
