"The base price starts from 100 guan. Each bid must not be less than 10 guan, and the maximum cannot exceed 100 guan. Open now..."

Before he finished speaking, countless arms and signs were densely erected in the auction hall.

Just this move made Gao Zhang grin and laugh silently.

At this moment, Duan Zhongping, who was sitting in the private room on the second floor, looked very nervous, and his eyes kept glancing back and forth towards the auction hall on the first floor.

The moment he saw the raised arms and the raised signs, a relieved smile appeared on Duan Zhongping's face.

Next, let’s see what surprises today’s first auction can bring.

One hundred guan, two hundred guan, three hundred guan, four hundred guan, the price just keeps getting higher and higher amidst the shouts one after another.

The atmosphere was so warm, it was definitely the first time since the first auction started today.

Even the voice of the young lady who was hosting the auction was a bit sharp. Her watery eyes looked nervously at the number plates raised one by one, repeating the other party's bid.

There is no need for her to tell any stories in the middle to induce those buyers' desire to buy.

It lasted until the 4,500-pound mark, when the pace of bidding slowed down.

"Mom, this is really a great experience. It's almost 6,000 yuan already. These people really don't regard money as money."

Although Miss Shishi is well-informed, she has never seen a man actually willing to spend so much money on something other than a woman.

Mother Li's mouth was also a little trembling. In the past, in the south building of Fanlou, all the expenses were eliminated in one day, and only a few hundred strings were obtained.

And even if the auction ends today, the commission alone is worth a thousand dollars. Making money every day is really not a dream.

Thinking of this, Mother Li couldn't help but look sideways, and she happened to see the Liao people in Gao Zhang's private room stand up, hold up the sign, and start joining the auction battle.

At this moment, the auction price of the clock has soared to more than 7,000 yuan, but it is still rising slowly but firmly.

Every time Xiao Fengxian increased the price, his expression would tremble a little. When the price of the clock had reached 8,500 yuan, there were still people following him.

At this time, Xiao Fengxian's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but look at Gao Zhang next to him.

Gao Zhang just threw an encouraging look at him, which made Xiao Fengxian couldn't help but think of Gao Zhang's words before.

This clock is originally a rare and rare treasure. The higher the price, the more precious it will become.

In this way, you, Xiao Fengxian, spent huge sums of money from your own pocket to dedicate this treasure to your Daliao Emperor. It would be strange if you didn't make your Daliao Emperor pee with excitement.

In this way, he will definitely love you more, trust you more, and be more responsible for you, which will be more conducive to the development of later work.

All in all, the higher the price, the more the Emperor of Daliao, who was originally fond of extravagant sex, would like it.

Xiao Fengxian no longer hesitated and raised his arms bravely.

The addition of Xiao Fengxian, a Liao man, naturally inspired the fighting spirit of a group of Song tycoons, causing the auction, which was supposed to end the battle of seven or eight thousand guans, to skyrocket.

In the end, it was the Daliao envoy who had Gao Zhang's backing, and he won the clock with four diamonds holding up the sun at a very high price of 11,500 guan.

This clock with an obvious Buddhist style was bound to be loved by the Emperor of Liao Dynasty, who believed deeply in Buddhism and liked all kinds of luxury goods.

What Gao Zhang paid was only a commission of 10% of the selling price of 11,500 guan, and the cost of less than 200 guan.

In addition, he also made an agreement with Xiao Fengxian, a brother with a different surname, that after he returns to Daliao, he will purchase ten clocks every month at a cost price of 1,300 guan.

Moreover, Xiao Fengxian has exclusive sales rights. Gao Zhang will naturally not cheat his good brother, even if he signed an exclusive sales agreement with Xiao Fengxian.

However, the agreement period is only one year. After one year, Xiao Fengxian will not be able to develop markets outside Nanjing.

Then, he, the exclusive agent of Daliao, will be downgraded to the agent of Daliao in Nanjing.

Although Xiao Fengxian was slightly dissatisfied with the addition of such a piece, Gao Zhang generously lowered the cost price of each clock by another hundred guan.

Xiao Fengxian suddenly became full of fighting spirit. No matter what, if he couldn't even expand his business scope and influence within a year, what business would he do?

On the same day, a chronograph clock that was modeled after the water-borne instrument platform that was successfully built in 1978 was purchased by Xiao Fengxian, the envoy of the Liao State, with a huge investment of 11,500 yuan in the south building of the Fan Tower. Captured in one fell swoop.

In an instant, this news became the hottest topic in Bianliang, Tokyo, after the gossip about the birth of the goddess.

After all, since ancient times, there have been many instruments used for timekeeping, such as watches, sundials, hourglasses, hourglasses, and water transport instruments.

But the problem is that these are tools that rely on natural phenomena or physical characteristics to measure time.

And the chronograph clock reduced the three-foot-high water transport instrument platform to less than half a person's height, and it did not require water.

Just turn the key and tighten the spring inside, and the clock can run all day and night.

Even every hour, it will tell the time, and you can also set an alarm clock.

In short, if you think about the three-foot-high water transport instrument platform that still stands beside Jinming Pool, it can definitely be regarded as a national treasure of the Song Dynasty.

It makes countless people linger, no matter how greedy they are, they still understand that that thing is not something they can have.

No matter how much money you spend, you will never be able to own this treasure, which was supervised by the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty and took several years to succeed.

But now, there is a timepiece that was born out of a national treasure like the Water Transport Symbol.

Looking at the ambassador of the Liao Kingdom, he must have taken a fancy to the magical functions of this kind of treasure, so he spent a huge amount of money to buy it.

On the second day, the wealthy businessmen of the auction house in the south building of Fan Tower had accumulated a large sum of money and were preparing for a big fight today.

Once again, there was a very fierce confrontation, and finally a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River bought the treasure for a huge sum of eleven thousand guan.

Except for the first three days, every day a unique and stylish luxury clock fetched a price of over ten thousand yuan.

The subsequent auction prices have not exceeded the price, but the lowest price has not been lower than 8,000 yuan.

In just a few days, just the commission from Fanlou Nanlou made Mother Li and others smile.
