"Twenty taels?" Xu Da's family was very strict, and Xu Yungong was not a person who did not eat minced meat. In the early Ming Dynasty, the price of silver was high, and twenty taels was enough for a family of five people to live without worries for food and clothing for a whole year.
Only bought his disgusting wooden sign that was soaked in sweat?
"Twenty taels is already a child!" The skinny man had an ugly flattery smile on his face.
"That piece of glassware is worth at least a thousand taels! You two look like rich and powerful people at first glance, but you want to buy such expensive things. Do you still care about the drop in the bucket?"
"We have some internal news here." The skinny man looked around furtively, and then lowered his voice. "My second uncle is the one who pours night incense for His Highness King Wu's house. He accidentally heard His Highness say the day before yesterday, here today
The number of glassware released is limited."
"If I had entered the village later, all those top-quality glazed wares would have been bought up by those who entered the garden!"
Before he could say anything else, a fat woman with a short stick and an armband suddenly appeared. With one quick step, she grabbed the skinny man's wrist and lifted her clothes without hesitation.
"Wow! Another killer who resells license plates! He took advantage of our village!"
"You want to get food from Prince Su's mouth? What a courageous dog!"
"What a tough shrew! How dare you capture your grandpa!" The man screamed in pain and continued to curse.
"Hoho! It's another man with a dung head that grows on the leader!" The fat woman gave the man a slap in the face unceremoniously, and the businessmen around him took a few steps back unconsciously. When did the Ming Dynasty become so tough?
The woman? Seeing that the man's face was visibly swollen immediately. The woman turned sideways, revealing the red armband on her shoulder: "Do you know the words? 'Wang Ming Patrols the Streets', there are only two characters different from the Wang Ming flag sign.
!His Royal Highness the young prince personally pinned it on my mother’s neck!”
"I have received orders from the prince to punish scum like you!"
"Come with me to see Commander Li now!" He said, flying up and kicking the man's calf, and the man knelt down with an "ouch".
"Aunt Feng!" Both of them knew this tough woman, she was Feng Shi, the first wife of Wang Gui of Zhuangtou. Feng Shi was originally the famous Hedong Lion in Zhuangzi. After being given the mission of supervising health by Zhu Su, she became famous in Zhuangzi.
He was so majestic that the villagers called him "Nei Zhuangtou", and he was even more respectable in the village than his useless Zhuangtou husband.
"Oh, it's the two young men!" Feng finally recognized Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong. "The two young men are here to find Prince Su? The prince is in the restaurant, not in the garden, but he is looking for the wrong place.
!”
With that said, he majestically called a child from the village to lead the way for the two of them, and he continued to patrol the streets with his armband high and mighty.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant next to the garden, and it was Shen Sen, the eldest young master of the Shen family, who was greeted downstairs. Before dinner time, there were not many guests. Seeing that they were two young princes, Shen Sen hurriedly and respectfully introduced the two of them in person.
Went upstairs to the private room. In the private room, Zhu Su was sitting by the window, waving the fan that said "wealth will come in" like a tall man.
"Fifth Uncle! (Your Highness)" the two of them greeted.
"You two are here." Zhu Su smiled and greeted the two of them to sit down. The dog on the side poured a bowl of tea for the two of them. Li Jinglong still had the leisure to drink tea and asked impatiently: "Fifth uncle, this
What's going on? It's so inconspicuous, why do so many people come suddenly?"
"Then what is the auction? Someone just took the number plate and wanted to sell it to me. A pair of number plates costs twenty taels of silver!"
"Hiss! Twenty taels!" But Zhu Su took a breath of cold air and cursed bitterly: "These scalpers who killed a thousand swords, the last one who was captured only dared to sell ten taels, and this one actually sold it for twenty taels.
?Dare to make money on my head? This is the first time I've come here and I'm not even embarrassed to sell tickets. His scalper dares to give twenty taels for his tickets?"
He turned around and asked the commander Li Rongjia to send manpower. He could not just rely on the neighborhood committee aunt. The guards must also join in capturing the scalpers. A huge profit like selling a number plate for twenty taels would soon make people lose money.
The auction tickets have become the sweet buns that these urban foxes and rats can use to make money. After being targeted by this group of bastards, how can the order of the auction and even the entire market be ensured?
Of course, the main reason for Zhu Su's anger is actually: he is short of money now.
Zhu Su had no intention of not paying back the money he owed to the Shen family. He sincerely wanted to win over the Shen family as a business partner. The Shen family had a rich heritage and a small population, so it was just right for them to be responsible for business. Although he was a prince, he also had the knowledge of future generations.
If you have ideas and ideas, but you don’t have anyone on hand, how can you make your business bigger and stronger?
If it weren't for the assistants and shopkeepers supported by the Shen family, he wouldn't even be able to run this temporary theater and restaurant!
If you want to win over the Shen family, you can't just rely on exploitation. You must make it profitable. This is the long-term solution. Before that, you must first pay off the money owed to the Shen family. The banknotes on your bank are
The treasury has long been exhausted, and Zhu Su now wants to saw off a copper plate from the middle and turn it into two flowers. How can he allow these opportunistic scalpers to take advantage of him?
What's the difference between using my idea for an auction to make money and grabbing money directly from my, Zhu Su's pocket?
If they take twenty taels more, the price of the glassware at the auction may be twenty taels less!
Now Zhu Su's eyes have long turned into the shape of copper coins. He is wooing the Shen family and building a large-scale construction project, but only today. Looking at the long queue of wealthy businessmen at the entrance of the garden below, it is like looking at walking coins.
bag.
Mine, all mine!
Seeing that Uncle Wu, who had always been calm and wise, was in a crazy state, Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong looked at each other. After all, they did not dare to ask any more questions. They had to watch the flow of people downstairs while pretending to drink tea calmly. After a quick look, they realized that it was not the case.
Everyone needed to line up to enter the garden. Many carriages stopped directly at the door, and then someone personally welcomed the nobles in the carriages into the garden. Li Jinglong, who was sharp-eyed, also discovered that many of these people were in Yingtian City.
The second generation who hangs out with him...
"So many distinguished people are here?" He was a little surprised. He thought that only businessmen were here.
On the other hand, Xu Yungong curled his lips. He had more friends than Li Jinglong since elementary school. Not only the nobles, but also the family members of the civil servants in the court came this time.
I am afraid that many of the businessmen queuing up at the entrance of the garden are housekeepers in charge of business in the families of civil servants!
It can be said that almost all the rich people in Yingtian City are here.
What on earth is that auction? What on earth is Your Highness going to do?
Zhu Su did not answer, but looked eagerly at the theater below which was still crowded with people. As a temporary auction venue, the theater could only accommodate more than 300 people. He had previously estimated that Yingtian Mansion could afford the wealth of the glass Buddha statue.
That's probably the number of people there. It seems that there are also businessmen from other places who got the news and came all the way here.
As expected of the Shen family, which was originally said to be as wealthy as the country, its rich heritage still exists in channels all over the south of the Yangtze River. This propaganda work exceeded Zhu Su's expectations.
Sure enough, the merchants were wailing one after another from below. The shopkeepers who registered the number plates had already begun to close the stalls. It seemed that all the seats and number plates for the first auction had been put out. Zhu Su looked at the sun and saw that the auction was also open. It's time to begin.
I have trained Shen Wang on the auction process and speech skills for several days, and I think there will be no problems. As a royal family, I should not appear in such occasions, and all I can do at this time is wait for the good news.
Zhu Su was thinking about the auction and didn't say a word. Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. The three of them sat quietly in the private room until a burst of rapid footsteps broke the stasis in the private room. atmosphere.
Zhu Su's chamberlain, Xiang Deng, was seen running in in a panic. He, who had become more and more particular about the behavior of the general manager in recent days, was sweating on his forehead. He almost rolled into the private room, his hands and feet still shaking. It seemed that he was so surprised that he didn't bother to greet the three of them and just cried and laughed and said to Zhu Su:
"Crazy... crazy, Your Highness, everyone is crazy..."
"Eighty thousand taels! Only 20 items were sold, and nearly 80,000 taels were sold!"
