Bai Jie was honest, but the other businessmen were even less happy.
What do you mean? Treat them differently, right? Why does this old man only have gifts? What about ours?
Seeing that the merchants were about to make noise again, two Tao family farmers carried a long bookcase and placed it in front of Nangong Ping. On it was a valuable jade plate. There was something covered by a red cloth on the jade plate.
The merchants all looked intently.
You must know that this jade plate is worth a lot of money, but it can only be used as a support. I wonder what kind of treasure is under the red cloth.
Nangong Ping didn't even attract the merchant's attention when he saw it, but he was in no hurry to lift the red cloth.
"The starting bid means the lowest price of the treasure. The bidding price is the amount of the increase. The buyer is the one who bids the highest price and wins the treasure. Just write down the contract and deliver it within two days."
Before the merchants who seemed to understand but didn't understand asked, Nangong Ping lifted the red cloth.
Inside the greenhouse, there were voices of surprise and praise.
Under the red cloth, there is a pair of soaring eagles, one big and one small, one female and one male. They are also crystal clear and extremely expressive. Under the illumination of fire candles, they exude a blurred brilliance.
"The starting price is 10,000 guan, the bidding price is as low as 1,000 guan, and there is no upper limit!"
Bai Jie suddenly stood up: "Twenty thousand guan, I want it!"
A shout came from the corner: "I'll give you 30,000 guan!"
Nangong Ping was overjoyed, looked at the victim in the corner, and then cursed in his heart.
Because the culprit is the Supreme Emperor.
Fortunately, another merchant stood up and clasped his fists around: "My Yu family's caravan goes through the border all the year round, transporting leather goods and spices. At least three times out of ten times, the goods were robbed by cold thieves. If you get this I gave Baoying to the tent of the Liang Rong Golden Wolf King, and there will be no more Liang rangers on the grassland to make things difficult for me. I hope you will give me a little favor for my brother."
Another merchant stood up and laughed: "The young man on the stage said, the one with the highest price will get it. Brother Yu, it's not because I don't show mercy, but I just saw my beloved treasure and found it difficult to part with it. Everyone depends on their ability. Don't give up." Strange."
"Everyone." Bai Jie turned around and said, "In a few days, it will be my grandson's birthday. I dote on him the most, so why not betray me..."
Before he finished speaking, the Supreme Emperor shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you 30,000 guan, I'll take it."
Bai Jie was a bit presbyopic and didn't know which merchant the Emperor was. When he got angry, he turned around and shouted at Nangong Ping: "Thirty-one thousand guans!"
The Yu family merchant looked determined to win: "Thirty-five thousand guan."
The Supreme Emperor shouted: "Forty thousand strings."
Concubine Hua's beauty turned pale, and she twisted the Emperor's thigh: "Where did you get the money?"
The Supreme Emperor chuckled: "Whoever really buys it, although it is a treasure, it does not provide food and drink, so what is the use of it?"
"Then you still yell."
"If I don't yell, how can those merchants spend money?" The Supreme Emperor said with excitement: "Don't forget, that kid said that if you provide jewelry, I will be famous, and we will be two of them. "
"But isn't Chu Qing talking about a workshop?"
"Workshop?" The Supreme Emperor raised his eyes and looked around: "Where is the workshop? I think this place looks like a workshop."
"But isn't this a big shed?"
"I said this is a workshop, and this is the workshop!"
Concubine Hua looked helpless: "Okay, okay, you have the final say."
The bidding was still fierce, and the pair of glass eagles that Wu Gang blew out with his cheeks had already been sold for 50,000 yuan, and were acquired by the businessman of the Yu family.
Other merchants can also come up with money. Although they like it, they don't get into fights. After understanding the rules, they also know that it is impossible to sell just this treasure. No one is clamoring to leave anymore. Not only that. , even stood up and sat in the first few rows. Those who had no seats would rather stand.
Unexpectedly, after the pair of broken eagles were photographed, no one was delivering treasures on the stage. Instead, dozens of beautifully dressed women came from the background, holding a silver plate with a piece of yellow paper and a thumb on it. Thin wooden tube.
The fragrant breeze filled their nostrils, and these part-time brothel women placed pencils and yellow paper in front of the merchants, winked at them, and picked up pencils and pencil sharpeners.
The merchants didn't know why, so Nangong Ping said: "Pen, pencil, Wenquxing brand pencil produced by Nanjiao Zhuangzi, please see the demonstration."
As soon as they finished speaking, these girls had already sharpened their pencils with pencil sharpeners, and then began to write and draw. They all wrote the names of their own flower boats or stage names.
The merchants looked shocked again and quickly took the pencils from the girls' hands, grabbed them like a brush and started writing.
The merchants were writing, and Nangong Ping introduced it loudly while following the advertisement Chu Qing taught him.
"Easy to carry, compact and convenient, does not take up space, a must-have item for home and travel, can be carried with you, can write, and can also poke people. It can be said to be an epoch-making product. Once promoted, it will definitely become the favorite of readers. No need to use ink. Abandon the cumbersomeness and cumbersomeness of the past, go out with a pen and write all the beautiful chapters in the world..."
The girls who had received emergency training from Luzhu also opened their mouths delicately, just like salesmen, while ogling and giving introductions.
Chu Qing said that if you don't work in vain, you will get a commission, one ten thousandth of the amount, one person is responsible for a merchant, and if the merchant spends 10,000 yuan, the girl will have to do it.
Chu Qing didn't know much about men spending money.
Under what circumstances will the enemy get mad? There are two situations: when a beautiful woman is pregnant, and when he is pretending to be B. Of course, it is usually the time to pretend to be B when there is a beautiful woman next to him.
There were also girls who went to see the Supreme Emperor, only to see that Concubine Hua looked like she was going to eat someone and went to look for other customers in despair.
Tao Ruolin in the background took a sneak peek and waved her hand: "Tea."
Young refugees and children from the Tao family filed out holding tea and dried fruit snacks.
The merchants finally understood the usefulness of the pencil, and the girls followed the trend and stuck to the merchant's body.
Bai Jie, who was still the most senior, stood up: "Is this Wenquxing Brushwork also for auction?"
"Yes, it's also an auction."
"How much."
"You guys set your price."
"Shall we wait for the price?" The merchants looked at each other, confused.
Tao Ruolin in the background waved again: "Book appointment!"
Wu Gang walked out and handed a stack of letters to Ma Ang on the stage.
Obviously he was an official of the Dachang Dynasty in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but Ma Ang did not show any condescension to the merchants.
"Everyone, the fifteen roads in Zhongzhou correspond to fifteen book contracts. Depending on the wealth of each state, the starting price is from 10,000 to 18,000 coins. Each book contract lasts for one year, and there is an unlimited supply every year. , after getting the book contract, Nanjiao Zhuangzi will only sell you two hundred coins for each pencil, and only sell it to those who have the book contract. Two hundred coins, this is the purchase price, as long as you have the ability, you can sell it for ten thousand coins!"
As soon as Ma Ang finished speaking, there was silence in the greenhouse.
After a long while, the merchant of the Yu family stood up and seemed to understand: "Only after you have obtained the contract can you purchase goods. You can only sell in the prefecture specified in the contract. Others are not allowed to come to this prefecture." Selling in China?”
"good."
"But it's only one year, and it's more than 10,000 yuan in one year. Some..."
Before he finished speaking, a merchant suddenly stood up and said, "Bring me three copies of the East China Sea and Three Ways, and I'll pay you 60,000 guan!"
Bai Jie pushed away the young lady who was clinging to him and shouted: "Fifteen copies, I want them all, 300,000 yuan!"
Inside the greenhouse, everything went crazy.
The Supreme Emperor in the corner was stunned: "Is this child... the child of Wu'an?"
Concubine Hua was breathing heavily. She no longer had the dignity of a queen, and was worse than a country woman, counting on her fingers how much profit Zhaoyang Palace could make!
