As people continued to spread the news, the news that someone was going to open an auction house and auction porcelain quickly spread like wildfire throughout Shu County.
Ordinary people will naturally not know who this boss is.
But as several giants in the Shu County business district.
People from the Jin family, the Yun family, the Meng family, the Li family, and the Wantong Chamber of Commerce all know that the boss they talk about is Zhou Peirong, who has recently become famous in the Shu County business circle.
The relationship between Zhou Peirong and Jin Yueru is naturally known to the Jin family.
For Jin Yueru's sake, the Jin family members naturally wanted to support Zhou Peirong.
As for the Yun family, Meng family and Li family, although they are not afraid of the Jin family, they have to be afraid of the county governor.
But the relationship between Zhou Peirong and the county governor is a little unclear.
For the sake of the county governor, these three families also had to give Zhou Peirong some face.
Not to mention Wantong Chamber of Commerce!
This person is originally a force under the command of the county governor, so of course he wants to give Zhou Peirong, one of his own, a strong reputation!
Ever since.
On the opening day of Zhou Peirong's auction, almost all the prominent people in the Shujun business district were present.
certainly!
The reason why these Shu County business circle bosses came here was not entirely to support Zhou Peirong.
In fact, they came to Zhou Peirong's auction with a learning attitude.
In today's era, the form of bidding shopping naturally exists.
However, auctions, a platform specifically for bidders to compete, have not yet been developed.
The auction house opened by Zhou Peirong can be said to be the first auction house in another world.
These big guys from the Shu County business district came here today just to get to know the auction house and see how profitable it is.
If this auction house is indeed a money-making rake, then they certainly wouldn't mind opening one of their own.
But if the auction house is not profitable for making money, they will naturally not waste their time on it.
In addition to the above two points, there is actually another reason why these big guys from the Shujun business district came to the auction house, and that is because they want to take a photo of a piece of porcelain.
Zhou Peirong does not have much porcelain in his hands, and even fewer of them are exquisite ones.
But in order to make himself prosperous in Shu County, Zhou Peirong still reluctantly gave up his love and sent a piece of porcelain to the county governor.
The governor really couldn't put it down for this piece of porcelain, and he would take it out to play with it whenever he had time.
Naturally, this matter was soon known to the big guys in the Shu County business district.
These big guys know the Lord Sheriff quite well.
They know very well that if it is not of the highest quality, our county governor will definitely not be impressed by it.
And since Zhou Peirong's porcelain can be so treasured by the county governor, it goes without saying how precious this porcelain is.
Driven by these three factors, on the day when the auction house officially opened, all the big guys from the Shujun business district rushed there as soon as possible.
Even Su Baiyu, the head of the Su family who had a grudge against Zhou Peirong, rushed to the auction house as soon as possible.
What surprised everyone was that our Lord Sheriff also came!
The business circle bosses were a little disgusted by the arrival of the county governor.
The reason is also very simple!
With our Lord Sheriff here, even if there are any good things at the auction, it will be difficult for them to take their turn.
After all, no matter how rich they are as merchants, they would not dare to compete with other local officials!
He was the governor of a county!
To put it bluntly, if someone wants to kill a businessman, it is not much more difficult than crushing an ant.
"I hope our Lord Sheriff won't be greedy. I hope he can keep a few good things from the auction so that we can share some of the soup!"
This is the truest thought in the hearts of all businessmen.
With the much-anticipated anticipation, the auction finally began.
But the first item sent to the auction table was a bill of lading.
"The bill of lading for low-grade hemp paper. With this bill of lading, you can take away the low-grade hemp paper for free for a hundred dollars. The starting price is zero, and there is no limit to the price increase each time!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, everyone in the audience immediately started making noises.
"What are you doing! I thought your auction house would have some good treasures to auction. But I didn't expect that you just want to sell some tattered paper!"
"Huh, it's such a waste of my feelings and time. If I had known that your auction house was selling this kind of thing, I wouldn't have come back at all!"
Some people raised their voices and expressed their dissatisfaction wantonly.
The auctioneer had obviously expected this.
He was not in a hurry to say anything more, but waited for people to vent their dissatisfaction before speaking happily again.
"You must be unfamiliar with the black market!"
"Do you know what price this bill of lading can be fetched on the black market?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that every bill of lading issued by our boss Zhou can be sold at three times the price of the goods!"
At this point, the auctioneer suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking.
But despite this, some people still heard a lot of information from his words.
"This bill of lading can be sold on the black market. If it is paper, can it be sold at a higher price on the black market?"
Some people with flexible minds have already thought of the idea of going to the black market to resell paper and make a profit from the price difference.
And now, an excellent opportunity is placed in front of them, how could they not seize it?
"The normal selling price for ten thousand taels of bamboo paper is eighty taels. So I'll pay one hundred taels for this bill of lading. Isn't that excessive?"
Someone raised his hand first and quoted a price of one hundred taels.
With this person taking the lead, several people immediately joined the bidding team.
In just a moment, this ordinary delivery order was sold to three hundred taels.
This price is already nearly five times the price of the bill of lading itself.
Such a crazy bidding immediately made Zhou Peirong in the background speechless.
"Sure enough, human greed is unlimited!"
"As long as they smell a business opportunity, how can these greedy people let it go so easily?"
"Speaking of which, will you, the bastards of this world, call me the title of Patriarch in the future?"
"After all, these bad guys in front of you all appeared because of me!"
Zhou Peirong murmured quietly and raised his eyes to the auction table again.
At this time, the bill of lading was finally successfully completed.
The final transaction price of this bill of lading was eight hundred taels.
This price is already ten times the price of the bill of lading itself!
