Of course, Li Shimin would not sell all the places. Just as these businessmen thought, there were still so many rich people in the Tang Dynasty.
So he just asked Tang Ping to sell some of them first, and then release some more according to the situation.
Tang Ping unfolded the map. The green places on it are the places with the richest oil reserves and the easiest to exploit. These places are not for sale.
Then I circled a few places with red circles and numbered them, which are the places that will be auctioned today.
During the war meeting, he said that he would come up with ways to spend the military, and that was what he had in mind.
Behind these wealthy businessmen are basically major aristocratic families. Dealing with them is actually dealing with major aristocratic families.
The wealth of these aristocratic families is unfathomable. If you sell some to them, you can give some of their wealth to the Tang government.
As for subsequent development, it will take at least several years, ten years or even decades.
At that time, because the government occupied the place with the richest reserves, it was not afraid that these aristocratic families would increase in strength as a result.
"This is Land No. 1, please bid!" Tang Ping pointed at the map with a chopstick and said, "The starting price is 100 million Tang Dynasty coins."
"Hiss!" I thought it was expensive, but I never thought it would be so expensive. These wealthy businessmen are not people who have never seen money, but when they heard that Tang Ping's starting price was 100 million, they couldn't help but take a breath.
"Shopkeeper Tang, this price..."
"What? Do you think this price is cheap?" Tang Ping said with a smile: "This is all because we are old acquaintances, and I finally managed to get such a favorable price from His Majesty for you."
"Let me tell you this, as long as oil can be dug out from under this land, you will be able to make a hundredfold profit. Everyone knows about my reputation, Tang Ping, right? Have I ever led you into a loss-making business?"
These businessmen thought about it and found that although Tang Ping had various reputations in other subordinate countries, he was indeed recognized as a good character in Tang Dynasty and Chang'an.
He has never failed to lead everyone to make money. Everyone secretly believes that he is the most profitable person in Datang.
"Since no one wants it, I'll pay out the 100 million!" Fatty Liu shouted.
He chose to trust Tang Ping. At first he bought MSG from Tang Ping, and then
Later, I also learned a lot from Tang Ping about business experiences such as membership systems, annual passes, etc.
In recent years, it was because Tang Ping kept his promise that the two Tang family hotels, Xihe Tower and Wangshu Tower, did not open any branches outside Chang'an, which allowed his Bazhen Tower to grow bigger and bigger throughout the entire Tang Dynasty.
So this time, he would trust Tang Ping and take a big gamble just like he did when he bought Tang Ping's MSG.
"Okay! Our Brother Liu from Bazhenlou has bid 100 million, is there any increase in price?"
Tang Ping looked around at the merchants below and saw that they were still hesitating. Tang Ping slapped the table directly: "Deal! Brother Liu will pay a 20% deposit in cash. Within three years, Datang will definitely win over the Arab Empire." If the area is not won, the principal and interest will be returned at the highest interest rate!"
ThenThen someone took the prepared contract and showed it to Fatty Liu. All the terms were clearly written on it. Fatty Liu felt that there was no problem and took his fingerprints. .
Those merchants were hesitant to raise the price, but Tang Ping decided to sell it directly to Fatty Liu.
This can be regarded as Tang Ping's small way of returning Fatty Liu's face.
"The second piece of land starts at 1.5 billion Tang Dynasty coins." Tang Ping pointed to another piece of land with his chopsticks, and the price increased by 50% as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, this land is indeed larger and closer to those green non-sale areas.
Everyone knows that the green non-sale area belongs to the government and has large reserves.
The closer these fields are, the easier it is to dig out oil, but it is too exaggerated to see the oil rise by half.
But today there are only five pieces of land in total. Now that Fatty Liu has taken away one piece, there are still four pieces left.
Who knew whether the price of the next few yuan would be even more outrageous, so the baggage clerk of the medicinal materials made a bid directly.
"I'll offer you 1.5 billion!" Then he looked at Tang Ping with burning eyes, hoping that Tang Ping would make a quick decision like he did to Fatty Liu.
Since the bids have been so high, I naturally don’t want anyone to raise the price again.
Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, a wealthy businessman next to him shouted: "One hundred and sixty million!"
Tang Ping shrugged at Mr. Li, saying that he was helpless, and then said: "One hundred and sixty million, is there any increase in price?"
As he spoke, his hand was suspended above the table, as if he wanted to slap it down.
"One hundred and seventy million, I will pay one hundred and seventy million!" Li Yuanwai said quickly.
"Okay, our member Li has gone out to 1.7 billion, is there anything higher?"
Some other wealthy businessmen thought for a while and joined in.
The price was suddenly raised to 200 million. This price was already double the price of Fatty Liu just now, and everyone began to hesitate again.
"Congratulations to Mr. Li for winning our No. 2 plot of land for 200 million!"
Tang Ping agreed, and although Li Yuanwai felt a little sad, he still held up his hands with a smile on his face to thank the others for their congratulations.
Next is the auction of plots three and four.
The prices were also higher one by one, and No. 4 was finally sold for 460 million.
Then the filming of the final number five started.
This piece of land is not only the largest in scope, more than twice the size of No. 1, but it is also adjacent to the green non-sale area.
Many wealthy businessmen who had not made bids before or gave up raising prices were looking at this land.
"This piece of land, No. 5, has a starting price of 500 million!" Tang Ping shouted in a low voice.
This time, no one questioned whether the price was high. The previous auctions of land made them all see that the 500 million was definitely unbeatable.
This was originally a huge gamble, risking the future of each family.
Some of the wealthy businessmen here are able to make decisions on their own, and those who are unable to call over those who can make decisions on their own.
"Six hundred million!" Cui Zhongqing from the Cui family in Qinghe directly added 100 million.
They were the first aristocratic family to get involved with Tang Ping, and they had made a lot of money over the years by helping Tang Ping sell some luxury goods.
Cui Zhongqing had not spoken before, just waiting to concentrate all his strength on the last piece of land.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly increased the price by 100 million, just to scare away others.
It's a pity that the people here are all smart people. After recognizing the potential of this land, no one will be willing to give up.
"Sixty-three hundred million!"
"Sixty-five million!"
"Seven billion!"
The price soon began to skyrocket, reaching 790 million in a short time.
Just when everyone thought that 800 million would be a hurdle, Cui Zhongqing, who had not spoken again since bidding 600 million just now, made another bid.
"Qinghe Cui family, one billion!"
