The shocking feeling of seeing the clock made Ma Zhou and others feel that they might never forget this day in their lives.
Li Sheng then arranged the auction, and everyone agreed.
Such a complicated and arduous assembly can be completed by our Holy Marquis in an hour.
If this is not a fairy, what else could it be?
If the Holy Marquis were not gods, then there would probably be no gods in the sky.
Awesome!
In the end, everyone was left with only one feeling.
Holy lord, awesome.
But just when everyone was about to go about their business, Wu Meiniang looked at the clock for a long time and suddenly thought of something.
"But, Master...this clock seems..."
"Anyway, this is just a timekeeping thing. I'm afraid... it may not be popular."
Wu Meiniang felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but she said it anyway.
Li Sheng's eyes widened slightly, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"That's right, keep talking."
"Well...that's what I said."
"Although this clock is powerful, it can also do things like timekeeping, sundial, and hour markers. And in terms of showing wealth, although the clock looks dignified and majestic, it is less like an ancient sage than the hour markers.
The feelings of this world..."
"We naturally understand what is special about this clock. It is the result of countless wisdom. It is incomparable to other things, not to mention it is so accurate. But... we know the secrets of this clock, and ordinary people outside may not know it.
Not necessarily clear…”
Wu Meiniang continued, "This 30,000 yuan... is not a low price. If outsiders are shunned and the opening is cold, I am afraid... it will also be a blow to the reputation of the auction house itself."
"Sir... how about we think about it again?"
Wu Meiniang felt that this matter really should not be taken lightly.
In the past few days, the auction house has been operating. Wu Meiniang admired Li Sheng for proposing the business model of the auction house.
Therefore, we have to be very careful in running it. After all, this is the young master's idea.
but……
It was precisely because of this that Wu Meiniang was afraid that if something went wrong, the clock would not be sold and the auction house would be in trouble because of this, which would be a pity.
Having said that...
In fact, Wu Meiniang didn't have any confidence in her heart. She just made the suggestion with her conscience and tried her best to think about it, so she lowered her head and finished speaking. She still mustered up the courage to look into Li Sheng's eyes.
In fact, it’s not just Wu Meiniang.
When she said this, Ma Zhou and others also became nervous. It is true that such an exquisite creation is a good thing, but how do ordinary people know about this benefit?
Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable if no one knows the goods by then?
And the next moment...
Facing everyone's gaze, Li Sheng smiled slightly.
"Mei Niang, in this regard... you are right to be worried."
"This sense of risk is also very good. But this clock... is far from as simple as you think. You will understand it in the future."
When Li Sheng said this, Wu Meiniang, Ma Zhou and others were stunned.
These words... were a bit perfunctory, but in the perfunctoryness, Li Sheng seemed to have an indescribable confidence.
It seems that he has strong confidence in the future of this clock.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, looked at each other, and felt strange in their hearts...
Seeing this, Li Sheng smiled again and said, "It's not unreasonable for you to worry about this matter. In fact, it is also for this reason..."
"When I was developing steam engines in Lingzhou, I didn't get a clock along the way. It was for this reason. Everyone is right to be worried, but..."
"Don't forget, this place is Jiangdong. Rich families are everywhere, and some people like to collect all kinds of strange things."
When Li Sheng said this, Wu Meiniang was slightly startled, but then she thought about it carefully... It was the same truth.
It is indeed possible that no one knows the goods, but in Jiangdong, there are many wealthy households with money and leisure, so the possibility that no one knows the goods at all is really unlikely.
As for auctions, as long as one person knows the goods, it will quickly spread to tens of thousands, and everyone will follow suit, so there is really nothing to worry about.
However... this seems to have nothing to do with what Li Sheng said, "This clock is far from as simple as you think"...
But in short, once my mind is settled, I can start my work.
Everyone quickly followed the order and left, leaving Li Sheng in the courtyard to continue adjusting the clock.
At this moment, Yang Yuhuan walked in with drinks and refreshments.
Li Sheng was a little embarrassed when he saw it, "I heard that you are also the eldest lady at home. Now... everyone depends on you for drinks and light meals. Thank you for your hard work..."
Yang Yuhuan smiled when he heard this, but he said with feigned anger, "It seems you treat me as an outsider?"
"I've become your maid, so I'm yours. If I don't wash my hands and make soup, why don't you come and serve me?"
"Give your sister some snacks, do you hear me?"
Li Sheng was speechless. What a good guy, go to the house to unveil the tiles, right? When I finish this work, it will be over if I can't wait for you...
However, after Yang Yuhuan teased Li Sheng, he noticed the clock next to him.
He opened his eyes curiously, "What's so magical about this clock...? Why do they value this thing so much?"
"this……"
Li Sheng was startled and looked at the clock beside him.
This time, when Li Sheng looked at the clock, his eyes narrowed and his eyes shone.
"The value of this thing is so great, you will know it later."
What Li Sheng did not explain... is actually the truly epoch-making advantage of the clock.
This feature, when the desk clock was first invented, was not even considered a big advantage, and it could not hide the flaws at all.
But it is precisely because of this feature that the clock has become an epoch-making product.
This thing can be used as a stopwatch.
Precise timing!
And with the ability of precise timing, more applications can be derived.
For example, in physics experiments, power and efficiency can be calculated.
In the chemical industry, it is a key tool for designing chemical process flows.
Without precise timing, how do you know how long various reactions will take and how to connect them?
Without precise timing, how can we count power? We can’t even count power, and any machine can only stop at uncanny skills, because... without the indicator of power, how can machinery be optimized and progressed?
All of this is the real value of the clock!
However, these things were too laborious to explain, so Li Sheng didn't say much.
Anyway, as time goes by, the benefits of a good horse traveling a thousand miles will sooner or later become visible to the naked eye, and then there will be no need to explain.
However, compared to this, Wu Meiniang mentioned that the commercial value of this thing may not be as expected.
Although Li Sheng comforted these subordinates, he was still a little worried in his heart.
Jiangdong is rich. How rich is it? Is it really enough to support such a high selling price?
