When James saw Chang Xi pushing through the crowd and walking over, he immediately jumped down from the makeshift stage. He was overly excited for a moment. He reached out and wanted to hug Chang Xi to celebrate with her, but Chang Xi reacted very quickly and took two steps back, even

He looked at him with a warning look on his face. This was the Daewoo Dynasty and the people were conservative. They didn't like the Western hugging and kissing ceremony. If he dared to mess around, a hat of a disciple could be pinned on his head.

Without a good reputation, he would be listed as a rejected customer at the Daewoo Court, and his business would be over.

Only then did James realize that he had almost done something bad. He patted the back of his head in frustration, but when he thought of this successful auction, he quickly recovered and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Chang, my friend, look at the bidding figures, do you know? You have already earned nearly ten thousand taels of silver at this moment?"

Chang Xi heard this and looked at him in surprise. Can he really bid for so much silver?

Xie Ming, who was following from the side, also opened his mouth in surprise and asked quickly, "How much money is it?"

James was not interested in this Daewoo man, but he knew that he was a local gangster in Yiyang City, so he still suppressed his temper and told him a specific value.

Xie Ming was not only surprised now, but was too shocked to recover.

James didn't bother to pay attention to his stupidity, but passed him and handed the data in his hand directly to Chang Xi, "Chang, I'm not lying, you can see for yourself."

Chang Xi took it and saw at a glance that the number that had just been calculated was indeed just shy of ten thousand taels of silver.

She had conservatively estimated that a few thousand taels would be considered a lot if she could bid for it. After all, tea bricks were a new thing to this group of foreigners, and it was still unknown how well they would be accepted by the market. They were asked to spend real money.

If you come to bid for the exclusive agency rights, I guess many people will give up.

Even if someone is optimistic about the prospects of tea bricks, they are willing to spend a lot of money. After all, who knows the return rate of this thing?

Everyone has an account in their mind.

But now James reported an unexpected number to her. Even though she had already stopped being surprised, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression at this moment.

At this moment, she calmed down her excitement and opened the bidding list and looked at it carefully. The first person in the queue was Fan Losi from the Tulip Country. It was he who took the lead and the bidding was able to raise the price. Of course, he

We also successfully obtained the exclusive agency rights of Tulip Country.

Next up is Gaul...

She continued to look through them one by one. Those who could obtain the exclusive regional agency rights were all the big countries on the continent of Europe. As for some small countries, no one made any bids at all. Even three days ago, some businessmen from small countries had registered and said they would participate in the bidding, but in fact

In the end, they were reluctant to spend real money to compete.

This was quite close to her previous expectations.

It is understandable that businessmen from small countries are afraid of not being able to make back their money. After all, their land is small and their population is small. Even the nobles are miserable. How can they afford real luxury goods? And they themselves cannot compete with businessmen from big countries, so

You can only choose to give up, or be satisfied if you can get a sip of soup in the later stage...

However, the nearly 10,000 taels of bidding money greatly eased her financial pressure, and no one would object to the large amount of money.

"James, my true friend, that's a fantastic number, you did even better than I expected."

Listening to Chang Xi's praise of him, James couldn't hold back the smile on his face, but he would not mention the money at this moment. After all, he had the exclusive agency rights for Britain and Sulan.

He didn't spend a single copper. Thinking about how much money he had saved, he smiled from ear to ear.

Chang Xi didn't care about the small profit she was given. After all, without James as bait, she wouldn't have been able to catch so many big fish, so she had to give the benefits generously, so that everyone would be happy.

She took this value to the four shopkeepers who were sitting on the side and looked around, to prove that her tea bricks were worth their investment.

Shopkeeper Guo opened his eyes wide. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have chosen to believe it. At this moment, he looked at Chang Xi as if he were looking at the God of Wealth.

There is no difference, this woman can make more money than he imagined.

Shopkeeper Ma and others all took a breath. They couldn't understand what these foreign devils were yelling at. They all laughed at how rare and strange these foreign devils were. They didn't have much hope for this auction. In fact, they didn't understand much either.

Chang Xi’s operation.

After all, there are foreign devils who want to buy it, so just sell it to them directly. Why should we have this exclusive agency right?

They don't have to worry so much, as long as they don't have to worry about selling tea bricks.

But now seeing that nearly ten thousand taels of silver were sold in this auction, the three of them couldn't sit still. This can no longer be explained by the word "fooling".

"Can you really get nearly ten thousand taels of silver?" Shopkeeper Liu asked after swallowing his saliva.

Then the other three people stared at Chang Xi closely.

"Of course." Chang Xi smiled and said, "All those who can participate in this auction are powerful foreign businessmen. Those who are not powerful and those who commit fraud are all screened out, and they have to pay a certain deposit before they can participate."

Not everyone is qualified to bid here, otherwise she would not have given James so many benefits to hire him to do this, and in order to contain him, she also used the translator manager.

Of course, hiring a manager is risky, but fortunately she made the right bet. This person's principles prevent him from collaborating with others, so the results are gratifying.

Chang Xi, who was in a state of joy at the moment, didn't know that someone was paying close attention to her auction. She saw the secretly observing people quietly changing hands with their companions, and then quickly ran to other small courtyards belonging to the Yuelai Inn.

Not far from this small courtyard, there is a small courtyard with rockery, flowing water and winding paths. This is the most expensive courtyard of Yuelai Inn. The people who rent it are all dignitaries. The fee is even more than that of the small courtyard rented by James Xie Ming.

The hospital is incomparable.

"Sir, the results of the auction over there are out."

Upon hearing this, the two people playing chess immediately stopped, and then the man in a green shirt and a scarf of the same color immediately asked with a smile, "Is this really an auction?"

If Chang Xi were here, she would definitely be surprised. This person is exactly the same Yuan Tailiang who deliberately used a fan to chat with her that day.

"Yes, sir, it is said that they are bidding on something, oh, it is the exclusive right to sell tea bricks. Those foreign devils are all flocking to it. I heard that the auction cost nearly ten thousand taels of silver. I don't know what this tea brick is.

I’ve never seen anything like this on the market.”

Yuan Tailiang and the man playing chess looked at each other. Both of them were well-read poetry and literature, but they had never heard of tea bricks.

"Master Zhang, has tea bricks appeared in Yiyang City before?"

Mr. Zhang, who was much older than him, frowned when he heard his question, "I have been working here for seven years and have never heard of such a thing on the market. If Mr. Yuan is curious, why don't you go with us?"

Look what these merchants are doing."

Yuan Hao has an extraordinary background. Although Mr. Zhang has a higher official position than him, he does not dare to neglect him. If he can get help from his family in the next assessment, even if he cannot be transferred back to be a capital official, his rank will still be higher.

It's not difficult to leave.

Therefore, when the other party takes up the post of Yiyang City Shipping Secretary, not only will he not give any resistance, but he will also give his full support.

When Yuan Hao heard this, he immediately became interested. The reason why he paid attention to this auction was because foreigners gathered, the government was afraid of trouble, and his newly transferred official position also required him to deal with foreigners, so he paid attention to it.

Then, he folded the folding fan and pointed outward, "Master Zhang, please."

Mr. Zhang laughed and made a gesture of invitation.

With a smile on his face, Yuan Hao stood up and walked out at the same time as the other party.

Walking along this quiet path outside, the scenery is completely different. The two of them seem to be strolling leisurely, but they have their own plans in their hearts. Of course, they look friendly on the outside.

Although Yuan Hao airborne from the capital to accumulate qualifications, he had to build good relationships with local officials and wealthy gentry, so he first went to the Jie family to pay a visit. With the Jie family's connections, it was appropriate

There was almost no one in Yangcheng who could make things difficult for him.

When they arrived at the bustling courtyard over there, both of them signaled to the other subordinates not to

He followed and stepped in with only two or three servants.

Neither of these two people acted in a high-profile manner, but they looked like they were no ordinary people. The boy guarding the door did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went in and whispered to Jie Ming to report the matter.

When Xie Ming, who was watching Chang Xi sign contracts with those foreign devils who had successfully bid, heard this, he immediately frowned and his face darkened. If he came to ruin the situation, don't blame him for being rude to Mr. Xie Ba.

The starting capital of 10,000 taels yesterday and the nearly 10,000 taels of bidding money today have greatly increased his confidence in this business and he will not allow anyone to sabotage it.

"What happened?" Chang Xi spotted Jie Ming looking wrong from the corner of his eyes and asked immediately.

Xie Ming said, "There are two strange people over there. I'll go take a look. You should be busy with things here first."

To avoid long nights and long dreams, the contract must be signed today.

Chang Xi nodded. Since Xie Ming said he would handle it, she wouldn't talk any more. If Xie Ming couldn't handle this matter, what's the use of him?

Jie Ming then hurried to the door. When he saw the two people walking towards him, he was stunned on the spot. Oh my god, how did he attract these two people?

However, both of them had seen him at this time, and they couldn't allow him to turn around and remind Chang Xi. He could only bite the bullet and step forward to greet them with a smile, "I've met Mr. Zhang." Then he turned to Yuan Hao again.

He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Tailiang."

Master Zhang did not expect to see the nephew of the Jie family here. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be the eighth among the younger generation, so he smiled and said, "Nephews don't need to be polite, what are you doing here? It's so lively?"

"

Yuan Tailiang shook the folding fan in his hand twice. He was really surprised to see Jie Laoba here, but then his eyes fell on Chang Xi who was chatting happily with the foreign devils in the main hall. His smile immediately froze, and the hand in his hand

I also forgot to swing the folding fan.

Isn't she Xie Jin's wife?
