Zhu Bai said: "Things are rare and valuable."
This is hunger marketing.
Besides, they brought it back from the northwest. If they were all sold casually, these people wouldn't rob them.
Since it was the first auction, Zhu Bai decided to control the auction himself.
Zhu Biao had never heard of this kind of gameplay and came to watch.
Zhu Bai set up a table on the second floor of the Guanya Bureau. There were small gongs and gavels on the table.
He, Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru were sitting next to him.
Zeng Yachang came to preside over the ceremony.
As a result, more than a hundred merchants came, and the whole hall was crowded and lively.
Zeng Ya Chang struck the gong, and the place immediately fell silent.
He read the rules for a while and then said: "Starting now, we will auction one piece at a time. The first piece of velvet has a base price of one hundred taels of silver. After I knock on the wooden board, you can start raising the numbers to increase the price. The wooden sign will increase the price by ten taels."
This seemed to sound the horn of attack. The merchants raised the wooden signs with all their strength, fearing that Zeng Ya would not see them, and shouted their numbers.
The number plate was raised so fast that Zeng Ya Chang couldn't reach it.
In less than a cup of tea, the price had already risen to three hundred taels.
The number plates below are still densely packed.
Zhu Bai knew it would be hot, but he didn't expect it to be so hot, so he hurriedly signaled Zeng Ya to stop.
Zhu Biao thought to himself: This is a bit exaggerated and it’s time to stop.
It became quiet again, and everyone pricked up their ears, afraid of missing a word.
Zhu Bai said: "Starting now, the price will be increased by fifty taels. Come on."
The merchants began to weigh their wallets frantically, wondering whether to take the risk.
The number of people holding placards was reduced by half, but the competition was still fierce. In the end, 650 taels were sold.
For the second horse, Zhu Bai started bidding directly from 650 taels.
The merchants were very excited: Does this mean that it will only become more expensive in the future?
Damn it, how can you play like this?
Shouldn’t the same thing start from one hundred taels?
We also thought that the competition for the second one would be less fierce and we could get it cheaper.
As a result, the scene that had finally cooled down immediately became heated again.
The bidding became more stalemate, and everyone was shouting.
Finally, a thousand taels were sold.
Zhu Biao's blood boiled and his heart beat faster when he saw it.
For the third horse, the starting price is one thousand taels, and the price will be increased to one hundred taels.
Someone shouted directly: "One thousand and five."
There was silence below, and then it exploded again like water being poured into boiling oil.
"One thousand and eighty."
"two thousand."
Grass, two thousand taels for a piece of cloth, and gold foil are not so outrageous.
This is more exciting than going to a casino! !
The whole place was silent and no one made a sound.
Zeng Yazhang said: "That's the end of today. Please prepare the payment for the goods and come to me with the number plate within fifteen days to collect the blue velvet."
Immediately, someone asked the first merchant who took the picture of Lan Rong: "I'll give you one thousand taels, do you want to sell it?"
Someone else squeezed over and said, "I'll give you one thousand five hundred taels."
Anyway, the goods are given based on the number plate, and the deposit is collected according to the receipt without taking the name.
The man held the number plate for fear of being robbed: "I won't sell it, I won't sell it. Now it has been sold for two thousand taels. I will definitely not be able to buy it back for three thousand taels in the future."
Zhu Biao was amazed: Tsk, tsk, three pieces of cloth were sold for several thousand taels of silver.
Only Zhu Bai can do this in the world.
As soon as the auction ended, someone immediately made a sarcastic comment: "You fools have been deceived by the 'Little King of Hell'. Spending so much money to buy back the Lanjong, you might as well go to the northwest and buy a car."
The three merchants who had bid for the deal now calmed down and thought about it, and regretted that they were too impulsive. After all, it was not worth the cost.
Anyway, Zhu Bai gave him half a month to raise the payment and rushed to Lanzhou. Half a month's round trip was enough.
If you can get the blue velvet back by yourself, then the deposit of one hundred taels of silver should be used as a lesson.
If some people think this way, then naturally some people will do it.
The powerless people ask their relatives in the northwest to help buy velvet, or they go to the northwest to try their luck, hoping that they can get rich by traveling there.
The dignitaries directly called the government offices in the northwest, and the guards directly asked the craftsmen who weaved blue velvet to buy them.
As a result, they got a reply and said that there were not many people who could weave blue velvet, and the commander of the Lanzhou capital had gathered all the craftsmen who could weave blue velvet to work together, and the daily output was recorded in a book.
In the past, you could still find one that was one foot or two feet long, but now you can't see any at all outside.
The commander-in-chief also warned that anyone who dared to buy or sell privately would be banned from entering Lanzhou in the future.
Zhu Bai showed him a way to make a fortune, how could he easily let others come and cause trouble! !
Anyone who enters or exits the city gate of Lanzhou must be carefully searched, and a maximum of one or two feet can be gathered around them and brought out.
When Ying Tian received the news, they all cursed: This "little king of hell" is really good at what he does.
After receiving the news, the three merchants who had taken the photos of the Lanjong immediately paid the money and took the Lanjong away. The three of them discussed it and started selling it at a unified price of one hundred taels per foot.
I originally thought that only a few big households in the city could afford it, but the price was a bit risky.
As a result, no matter whether they have money or not, everyone wants to get a one-foot-two-foot one. If they don't have money to make robes, they can make short robes. If they can't, they can make a vest.
All the blue velvet in the three stores were sold out in less than half a month.
Based on the calculation of a piece of cloth at forty feet, even the last merchant made a net profit of two thousand taels.
What kind of business can make money so quickly?
It is true that wealth can be found in danger.
The merchants beat their chests and said: Oh, I missed this opportunity to make a fortune! !
Now we can only wait for Zhu Bai to transport the second batch of lanyards from Lanzhou.
News spread from the palace that the emperor had given birth to a son and a daughter.
According to insiders in the palace, the reason why the emperor is still so strong after he is over fifty is because he has been taking Cynomorium cynomorium, the "miracle drug of youth" obtained from the Western Regions.
This Cynomorium Cynomorium strengthens essence and Cynomorium, strengthens yin and replenishes marrow, cures impotence due to kidney deficiency, and deficiency of essence and blood. It is indeed a savior for men.
This time Zhu Bai went to the northwest and came back with another box.
Those men who were childless and had few sperm secretly asked where Cynomorium cynomorium was sold, but it was not available in pharmacies.
Many pharmacies and doctors have heard of Cynomorium Cynomorium, but have never seen it with their own eyes. After all, this thing is only found outside Jiayuguan.
In the past, the outside of Jiayuguan was a lawless place, but now that Jiayuguan is locked, no Ming people dare to leave easily.
When Zhu Bai heard that some people were asking for medicine, he "kindly" took out a part of Cynomorium Cynomorium and auctioned it at the Guanyang Bureau.
This time, he will not be present in person.
Then Cynomorium also sold out.
Although it is not as exaggerated as Lanjong, the selling price is more than ten times higher than when Zhu Bai bought it.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Zhu Bai took out four pieces of blue velvet dyed in blue, red, yellow and green and asked the official tooth bureau to auction them.
Although it was the second time the Lanjong was being auctioned, there were more people than the first time.
After all, this time not only merchants from Yingtian, but also merchants from surrounding state capitals wanted to come and get a piece of meat from this feast.
