Not only Hua Shao complained in his heart, but Hua Yanxi also thought the same thing in her heart. How short of money is the emperor, and he has come up with such unethical methods.
No matter how you look at it, she is probably the most promising among these people.
So this topic is clearly aimed at her.
She really held a grudge, she just told a few truths that were not pleasant to hear.
Hua Yanxi even wanted to get angry and stop running because she loved someone.
At this moment, the three people except Hua Yanxi had already started bidding. At the beginning, the price was very generous, but now it has soared from five million taels to eight million taels.
Then, I finally became less aggressive and started to increase the amount by ten thousand taels and ten thousand taels.
"Eight million two hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
"Eight, two hundred and sixty thousand taels!"
"Eight hundred..."
There is no longer any talk of brothers, they all want to suppress each other.
The addition of ten thousand taels and ten thousand taels is not a big number in terms of the big data mentioned above, but he kept shouting it out without stopping. When he regained consciousness, the price had jumped up to almost nine million.
two.
Mr. Cao is well-informed, and he was so excited by the bidding that he blushed.
The emperor will definitely be delighted that the treasury has so much money all of a sudden, and will definitely reward them when the time comes.
But when he turned his head, he saw Hua Yanxi sitting there with her hands on her hands, watching others bid attentively, as if she was not a participant, but a bystander.
He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
He already understood what the emperor meant. This control was probably going to be given to the fifth prince's concubine, but now that the fifth prince's concubine didn't ask for a price, how could he give it to her?
Everyone cooperates when releasing water.
Fortunately, Hua Yanxi didn't know what he was thinking. If she had known, she would have kicked over the long table in front of Master Cao and punched him in the face.
Do you dare to call this water release?
"Fifth Princess, why don't you ask for a price?" Master Cao reminded.
Hua Yanxi turned her head and glanced at him: "It's not time yet, why are you panicking?"
Mr. Cao thought to himself, "It's already so high. If you don't plan to wait until someone buys it before it's time, it's not like the day lilies are already cold."
Finally, the price soared to nine million taels.
The three people who had already raised the price finally realized that the price could not go up any higher, it had almost doubled.
Although the salt business is profitable, it still has to pay taxes after the court takes 50% of it. After all, when can we earn these nine million taels?
Although there is definitely no loss, but with so much silver on hand, it is not a good idea to hoard some.
Two of them have already started to back off.
Hua Shao looked at the two of them proudly: "No more bidding? If you don't have money, don't come out and learn how to bid. At present, nine million taels is my highest, right? Then thank you for your love."
Hua Shao's face was too ugly, which angered the two of them.
You can say they are ugly, you can say they are uneducated, but you cannot say they have no money!
So the two started bidding again, and directly raised the price by another two hundred thousand taels.
Hua Shao actually felt guilty. Now that he had limited money, he planned to send Hua Yun'er to be a concubine in the Lin family to get a bride price, and then sell some shops to make up the money. If the money was worse, he would go find a seal.
Even if you borrow a little money, you won't actually be that rich.
Seeing that the price had been raised by another two hundred thousand taels, I secretly started to grit my teeth.
But he had to get this control right. As long as he became a salt merchant, he would be half an imperial merchant. With this title, his business would be saved.
So compared to the other two who just regarded this matter as a dispensable investment, he had the intention of burning the boat.
Fortunately, those two people finally gave up, announced their abstention, stood up and left, and Hua Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
9.26 million was Hua Shao's final bid.
Mr. Cao once again looked at Hua Yanxi who had been sitting there without saying a word, and for a moment he didn't know what kind of expression he should put on.
"Fifth Princess, are you still not going to bid?"
Hua Yanxi looked at him and pointed at herself: "Do you think I am being taken advantage of? Buying control of a salt merchant at such a high price."
The wronged Hua Shao stared at Hua Yanxi coldly and sneered: "You just can't eat the grapes and say they are sour, right? If you don't want it, you can leave. Don't be an eyesore."
After saying that, he looked at Master Cao and smiled brightly: "Sir, let's get down to business and ignore those unimportant people."
Hua Yanxi shook her head: "Mr. Cao, these days, there are too many people pretending to be rich. After all, there is no tax on pretending to be rich. I advise you to ask my father how much money he has in his pocket first. Don't
When the time comes when we don’t have enough money, we will have to pay the bill in installments.”
Hua Shao was very angry at her words, pointed at Hua Yanxi and said angrily: "You fart, I am the richest man in Luoyang, I only have more than 9 million taels, it's just a matter of waving my hand."
Hua Yanxi heard this and said in surprise: "Then my father is rich?"
"Of course there is." Hua Shao raised his head.
Hua Yanxi said quietly: "Then it seems that my father didn't have no money before, but deliberately owed me money and refused to pay it back?"
Saying that, before Hua Shao could speak, Hua Yanxi turned to look at Mr. Cao: "Mr. Cao, not long ago, my father used his old house to offset the money he owed me because he couldn't pay it off. I
If you think he really has no money, don’t be fooled.”
Master Cao naturally didn't know that there was such a thing. After Hua Yanxi reminded him, his eyes towards Hua Shao began to change.
Isn't he the richest man in Luoyang? He can owe his daughter no matter how much money he owes, but this can't even cover it.
"Master Cao, don't listen to her nonsense. I have already prepared the five million taels of silver. I can make up the rest by selling a few shops when I go back. It won't be a big deal." Hua Shao was afraid of Master Cao.
He regretted it and said quickly.
Hua Yanxi calmly took out a stack of paper from her sleeve: "Master Cao, I think you should take a look at this before making a decision."
After taking it, Mr. Cao glanced at Hua Shao with a strange expression. Every time he read a few pages, he glanced at Hua Shao. The expression in his eyes became more and more complicated and strange, making Hua Shao's back shiver.
What could that pile of stuff be?
Hua Shao was curious and guilty at the same time. He had done so many things and he was not sure which one it was.
What Hua Yanxi gave was none other than the profit and loss status of all the businesses under Hua Shao's name in the past half month.
Because of her suppression, most of the shops in Huashao can be said to have lost all their money. Of course, this is a temporary period. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. But these records are enough to give Mr. Cao eye drops.
Yes.
As long as he begins to suspect that Hua Shao is incompetent, then Hua Shao will naturally have no chance of controlling the salt merchant, and she will be the final winner.
