A piece of top-quality rice paper mounted by the top master framer was carried up by the staff.
The four big characters "exclusively for the royal family" on the rice paper can blind everyone's eyes.
The scarlet jade seal on the left, plus a private seal of the emperor, can not only blind people's eyes, but also stop their heartbeat.
"This is real?"
"Is this the emperor's calligraphy?"
"It can't be fake, can it?"
"I've lived for decades, but I never thought that one day I'd be able to see not only His Majesty's calligraphy, but also the jade seal. That's enough."
In the hall, there is chaos.
This group of wealthy businessmen, regardless of their wealth, wearing gold and silver, the governor of a province is their guest.
However, facing the emperor's handwritten calligraphy, they are all a bunch of bumpkins, crazy fans.
Everyone rushed to the front desk one after another, wanting to observe the emperor's calligraphy up close.
Everyone is asking: "Is this real?"
How capable is the Four Seas Trading Company, to be able to obtain the emperor's calligraphy.
Could it be that today's auction is the auction of the emperor's calligraphy.
No!
Can the emperor's calligraphy be traded casually? Are you not afraid of beheading
The emperor is rich all over the world, can he be poor enough to auction off his calligraphy
Can't!
Amidst the excitement, the wealthy merchants remained calm and rational.
Not bad.
Er Zhuang saw that the heat was about the same, and the atmosphere was heated up, so he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Everyone can see clearly, yes, this is the emperor's calligraphy. The firm will never engage in decapitation business."
"How much?" Wu Dabiao was really brave, and asked how much it was.
The local businessman was frightened.
The ignorant are fearless.
How dare you ask the emperor how much calligraphy is worth? Are you courting death
This is a priceless treasure, a priceless treasure that can be regarded as a family heirloom, understand
It really is a bumpkin.
Er Zhuang was on the stage, laughing, "Good sir, how much is the emperor's calligraphy? Everyone must be thinking in their hearts, can the emperor's calligraphy be sold? Let me tell you today, yes! Anyone has a chance to buy it.
How to buy it? Everyone, listen carefully, what I say next is related to everyone's future, so don't miss a single word. "
Everyone pricked up their ears and craned their necks.
At this moment, everyone is not a well-informed wealthy businessman, but a hungry man, a gambler. I can't wait to rush up and grab the calligraphy and run away.
Er Zhuang kept in mind what Gu Jiu reminded him, when others are excited, he must not be excited, he is calmer than anyone else. Only in this way can he control the field and lead the wealthy businessmen to follow his ideas.
"Do you know why His Majesty bestowed this calligraphy? The Son of Heaven takes time out of his daily schedule to bestow this calligraphy because His Majesty's compliments to merchants all over the world..."
Er Zhuang started the first big deception in his life according to the manuscript written by Bao Jiu.
He was nervous at first.
But later, he became more and more calm, but he became more and more excited.
Especially when watching the powerful businessmen off the field, excited and excited by his words, his life was sublimated at this moment.
But not everyone will be affected by Er Zhuang's words.
Box number eight.
The Son of Heaven glanced at Liu Zhao with a gloomy face, "What the person below said was taught by your daughter-in-law, right?"
Liu Zhao Waterfall Khan, "My grandson never asks about Xiaojiu's affairs."
"Humph!"
The emperor is not happy.
That copy of calligraphy was clearly a bargaining condition for Gu Jiu, how did it become the emperor's compliment to the world's merchants when it came to Gu Jiu's mouth
absurd!
Looking at the people on the stage with their tongues shining like lotus blossoms, it is clear that Gu Jiu has the essence of fooling people.
No, what the person on the stage said clearly meant what Gu Jiu meant.
The person on the stage just memorized Gu Jiu's manuscript, and then recited it in front of everyone.
Hearing Er Zhuang da flicker, the emperor could hardly listen anymore.
However, the rich merchants in the hall were all screaming, and the place was completely heated.
Just when the emperor was getting impatient, Er Zhuang changed the subject.
"The emperor is rich all over the world, but the place where the emperor lives is dilapidated. As citizens, can we bear it?"
The emperor frowned, who said that the place where he lived was dilapidated. Does he lose face
At this moment, everyone in Room 8 looked towards Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao, which one is your daughter-in-law playing
Liu Zhao Waterfall Khan, he doesn't know either!
He never asked about Gu Jiu's affairs in detail. He didn't know what kind of medicine Gu Jiu sold.
Just listen to Er Zhuang continue to fool around.
"... Now I have an opportunity to repay the emperor's love. If you sell this calligraphy for money, in the next five years, all related products in your home will be engraved with the four characters "exclusively for the royal family".
For example, the Zhang family burned bricks, and the bricks burned by your family can be engraved with the four characters "Exclusively for the Royal Family". Your Zhang family is truly number one in the brick-fired industry.
Remember, it's valid for five years. In these five years, all bricks and bricks in your Zhang family can be stamped with the four golden signs of "exclusively for the royal family". The emperor is the guarantor, and children and old people are not deceived. "
boom!
The scene is boiling.
"My family sells tea, can I buy calligraphy?"
"My family is in the cloth business..."
"My family makes porcelain..."
"My family makes fur..."
The wealthy businessmen are excited, they are really excited, not excited by being fooled.
Exclusively for the royal family, a single word is worth a thousand dollars. Although the glittering golden signboard only has a five-year period, with this signboard, it can pay back in one or two years instead of five years. In the remaining few years, relying on this gold-lettered signboard, he will definitely make a lot of money.
Damn, this is the right time to come back.
The gadgets produced by the Four Seas Trading Company should not be underestimated.
Take Yuhua Lane, the first batch of houses has just been handed over, and the house price has doubled.
It turned out that the house bought for 4,000 taels was sold for 8,000 taels in just a few months. Changing hands is a profit of four thousand taels.
Those who bought the house in the first place made money.
And looking at the momentum of Yuhua Lane Wharf, the houses in Yuhua Lane will continue to rise.
In just a few months, Yuhuaxiang Wharf has tripled in size.
Dozens, sometimes hundreds, of boats come and go every day.
What is pulled on the boat is money!
What a waste of money.
what is money
Money is popularity!
The goods are unloaded at Yuhuaxiang Wharf, and the first stop is Yuhuaxiang.
The owner who developed Yuhua Lane is too shrewd.
From the very beginning, the houses they planned were aimed at businessmen, who opened shops or used them as warehouses, rather than residences.
Today's Yuhua Lane is full of people from morning till night.
People come and go, and many people are willing to go to Yuhua Lane to buy things, watch the excitement, or find work.
The owners of all the shops in Yuhua Lane are big wealthy merchants, also known as wholesalers. The price is cheaper than other shops.
Occasionally, when they are not busy, their buddies will come out to greet the passing individual customers and do odd transactions.
Ever since, many ordinary people in the market are willing to go shopping in Yuhua Lane in order to save money. It doesn't matter if you have to walk a few more streets.
In this way, before all the houses in Yuhua Lane were handed over, the place was already bustling with people.
Most of the people who bought houses in Yuhua Lane were out-of-town merchants.
Local merchants disliked it in various ways, so they missed this wave of sweetness.
This time, the local businessmen in the capital learned their lesson and they started to form a group.
Obviously, the "royal exclusive" five-year use right, this is a golden tool that attracts gold.
Several local tycoons lowered their heads and whispered in whispers, discussing cooperation with everyone, and they are about to win this bidding. We must not let the bumpkins from other places take advantage of this wave of sweetness.
Huh
Deng Cunli let out an exclamation.
Gu Jiu asked him, "What's going on?"
Deng Cunli said in a low voice: "This old slave saw a few acquaintances. One is the steward of Xue's family, the other is the steward of Pei's family, and the family of Concubine Zhao's family."
The Shaofu's family order stroked his beard and laughed, "I guess I heard the wind and decided to come over and get involved. Xiao Jiu, once these people come, it will be difficult to deal with."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "There's nothing difficult to do. In business, in business, we only look at money, reputation, strength, not face. If anyone makes me unhappy, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life."
The Shaofu family order frowned, "Xiao Jiu, listen to the old man's advice, don't be so angry."
Gu Jiu laughed, "The old ancestor is right, kindness makes money. Old Deng, you go down and keep an eye on it, and help maintain the order of the venue. By the way, ask where Bai Zhong went. The bidding will start soon, but he has disappeared ,outrageous."
"Old slave obeys." Deng Cunli bowed to accept the order and went to the first floor.
Bai Zhonghui is currently serving the emperor, explaining for the emperor.
Hearing Er Zhuang's spittle fly, the Son of Heaven hummed twice to express his dissatisfaction.
I dare to say that when Gu Jiu bargained for his calligraphy, it was for this purpose.
How valuable is the right to use the four gold-lettered signboards "exclusively for the royal family" for five years
The Son of Heaven does not understand business and cannot make accurate judgments.
So he decided to wait patiently.
Er Zhuang said loudly: "... Let me remind you a few points. This auction is mainly for the repair of the three main halls. So everyone here, if the quality of your bricks is not good enough to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Industry, I'm sorry. It is best not to raise your placard to participate in the bidding.
In case you spend money to bid for the "Royal Exclusively" gold-lettered signboard, but you can't supply qualified bricks, then sorry, we have the right to take back the gold-lettered signboard, and take 30% of the bidding amount, and only refund 70% of the bidding money. And Block the bricks in your house and announce to the whole world that the bricks fired in your house are not good."
What? Pull black!
Slander is slander, and blackmail!
The word black is very strange. But it does not prevent everyone from understanding the meaning of the word.
Everyone whispered and evaluated the strength of each family.
There were personnel from the Ministry of Industry and the prisoner from the Shaofu General at the scene.
They can provide advice to merchants and tell them what is the quality standard of materials needed to repair the three main halls.
The Shaofu General Supervisor also prepared samples and put them on the stage.
Er Zhuang shouted, "These are samples. If your goods can reach this quality, you can participate in the bidding. Don't worry about being blocked by us."
Block your whole family.
The wealthy businessmen complained in their hearts, and at the same time they went up one after another to check the samples provided by the supervisor.
Some wealthy businessmen were not sure, so they simply went outside and called the steward in. I don't understand, but the manager understands.
The steward said that there was no problem, and the wealthy merchants could confidently and boldly participate in the auction.
Wu Dabiao has many businesses under his name. One of them is the timber business.
He is eligible to participate in the auction.
But looking at all the rich and powerful businessmen, Wu Dabiao felt a little guilty.
In the kidnapping case a while ago, too many people were involved, and he also suffered heavy losses.
There isn't much money available right now.
Looking at this form, I'm afraid I'm not capable enough to photograph the golden signboard of "Exclusively for the Royal" by myself.
When he rolled his eyes, he saw a few familiar old guys.
Immediately, he made a decision. He wants to recruit people to join the team, and everyone will bid together for the auction.
There are many people who have the same idea as Wu Dabiao.
In the hall, there are people visiting everywhere.
You win over me, I win over him, everyone first abandons prejudices and divides by region. Several fellow villagers partnered up to bid together.
Er Zhuang then announced the catalog of commodities that can participate in the auction.
All merchants who operate the following goods can participate in the auction.
Don't come to join in the fun if you are a car dealer, a boat dealer, or a large grain household.
Not for you this time.
From brick, tile, stone and wood, to paper, carving, flooring, flowers and trees, gardening...
All items related to fellow practitioners' houses are included.
Looking at the hall full of people, the Shaofu Jialing was secretly stunned.
He asked Gu Jiu, "Can it be photographed? With so many goods, there are only about 200 merchants, isn't it enough?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "There are indeed fewer merchants who came back this time. I originally posted 500 posts, but unfortunately due to various reasons, only more than 200 people showed up. However, there are more than 200 merchants, enough to support this time. auction."
One must know that Gu Jiu invited well-known wealthy merchants from all over the world.
What is a wealthy businessman.
Doing a business of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands a year is not called a luxury businessman.
For a wealthy businessman, the annual business is at least 500,000 yuan, and the family property is at least a million yuan.
None of the people present fell below this standard.
A rough calculation shows that the sum of the net worth of the wealthy merchants present is tens of millions of taels at least.
Individual wealthy businessmen have tens of millions of net worth.
Of course, these multi-millionaire businessmen are relatively low-key, and they don't show their mountains or dew their water. People who don't know their identities can never guess that they are worth tens of millions.
The goal of a mere 1.7 million taels can definitely be easily accomplished.
The chaotic scene gradually quieted down.
The rich merchants already knew it well, and they all returned to their seats and sat down.
After three gongs sounded, today's highlight began.
Er Zhuang said loudly: "In order to protect the privacy of everyone's identity, we decided to use the secret auction method this time. Each person's invitation card has a few blank sheets with numbers on the inside page. Put the products you want to bid on Write down the types and prices and send them to me.
Afterwards, we will announce the results on the spot. Please remember your number. If you can’t remember it, just look through the invitations.
Just to remind everyone, if the Zhang family only burns bricks, then they can only bid for the gold-lettered signboards of bricks, not glazed tiles.
Those who make glazed tiles can't say that I have a cellar, I can also burn bricks, and I also bid for bricks. Sorry, this won't work.
Competing across products, even if we win the gold-lettered signboard of "exclusively for the royal family", we will take back the gold-lettered signboard. "
When the rich merchants heard this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone likes to show off and fight for wealth.
But no one wants to fight for wealth at the feet of the emperor. I'm afraid of being targeted by the government and becoming a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
Using the method of secret shooting, no name, only the number, which avoids the worry of being debunked on the spot.
The rich merchants nodded secretly, this is a good idea, very thoughtful.
It's just that there is no way to know the opponent's bid in the dark auction. If you want to get the golden signboard of "Exclusively for the Royal", you have to spend more time.
Secret shooting, afraid that I have money, but I didn't get a single one.
And it is not possible to bid across commodities.
Then a person who burns glazed tiles wants to bid for bricks, so he can only recruit a guy who burns bricks to cooperate in the auction.
This time, the place started to be chaotic again.
Everyone started hanging around again.
My family makes paper, and your family makes stone carvings. Why don't we cooperate
Your family makes wood, and my family makes window lattices. Why not cooperate
Your family burns bricks, and my family burns glazed tiles. The cooperation between the two parties is perfect, and they won the gold-lettered signboard in one fell swoop.
The emperor wanted to laugh, but he didn't.
The dignified son of heaven, how could he just laugh casually. Do you want to lose face
The venue is very lively at first glance, and the wealthy merchants are bound to win the golden signboard.
what does this mean
means money!
Lots and lots of money.
The Son of Heaven nodded secretly, Gu Jiu may not be very good at other things, but she knows how to use momentum, and even more so to build momentum.
Leveraging strength and strength, playing sneakily.
Look how lively this place is.
Soon, these wealthy businessmen will spend a lot of money for the five-year right to use the golden signboard.
The Son of Heaven looked at Liu Zhao, and suddenly said, "Economy and people's livelihood, you are not as good as Gu Jiu!"
The corners of Liu Zhao's mouth twitched, "What the emperor said is true. The economy and people's livelihood, grandson is indeed not as good as Xiaojiu."
"Knowing your own shortcomings, there is still salvation." The emperor commented lightly, but shocked the other emperors and grandchildren.
King Chu frowned, displeased with Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao sneered silently.
In war, Liu Zhao was never afraid of anyone.
He has never been afraid of court battles.
But when it comes to the economy and people's livelihood, when it comes to money making money, he doesn't understand.
However, he knows how to spend money.
He has never been afraid of spending money.
In the words of his wife, Gu Jiu: Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Gu Jiu used money to settle Huyang Princess.
Next, she will use money to get the emperor.
Longyan Dayue was only short of a sum of money. If one sum of money is not enough, use two sums of money.
