The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival is the auction day for the Guo family's shops.
These days, the gentle Siji Roushang has received a total of 2.2 million taels in deposits, which seems like a lot, but in the next year, there should be no cash coming in, except for some retail investors.
But if you raise enough money to buy two shops, you can still make money.
Tao Ranju made a total of more than 300,000 taels in a few days.
Wenxin's shop also received a deposit of 100,000 taels, but it is estimated that the cash receipts will be relatively small in the next six months.
Then Wen Ran's pills sold for 2.6 million taels. After all, they were life-saving medicines. The medicinal materials in them even included ginseng, which has been used to maintain health for thousands of years. Everyone was willing to pay for it to save their lives.
What is the most expensive, life is the most expensive!
Menghuachang earned 100,000 taels by taking the order from the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Boss Liang earned 600,000 taels from the order, and the orders from other mansions totaled more than 300,000 taels.
Menghuachang and Lin Tingya share half of it, which is 500,000 taels each!
So the three Nuan sisters have a total of more than 5.6 million taels!
The three of them came to the auction house with a huge sum of money.
The auction house was very lively today, and the lobby was already full of people.
Fortunately, Wen Nuan and the others had already booked a private room.
Although Nuan Nuan and the others are here today, they have no plans to auction in person. They have already arranged for someone to auction in the lobby.
No one wants their family's details to be known, so today all the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the capital sent people to auction it.
Soon after the sisters came to the reserved private room and sat down, the auction began.
The first shop is thirty square meters!
It used to be a rouge and gouache shop. It was not on the busiest street, but the business was good.
The market price is about 120,000 taels.
The asking price is one hundred thousand taels, and each bid is ten thousand taels!
The price is quite satisfactory.
But many people missed it.
There are better options later.
Lin Tingya took a fancy to it, and she didn't have much money now.
The competition was not fierce, and Lin Tingya was very happy to win the 150,000 taels.
Wen Xin: "Fifteen thousand taels is a bit expensive, but you can make it back quickly."
Wen Nuan shook his head: "It's not expensive, it's probably the most cost-effective shop in this auction."
Nuan Nuan recently sent mooncakes to the palace, always giving one to Eunuch Lin. She had received Eunuch Lin's guidance.
That's why she suggested that Lin Tingya must take pictures of the first shop!
Next is the second shop.
Thirty square meters, in the center of the city, a former spice shop, asking price of 150,000 taels!
The people below were in an uproar.
"Manager Yang, isn't this price too high? The market value of a thirty-square-meter shop is only 100,000 taels! The auction reserve price is already 150,000 taels. How can anyone increase the price?" Someone below couldn't help but Protest loudly.
"Yes, this is too expensive!"
... ...
Lin Tingya exclaimed after hearing this: "This shop is only thirty square meters, and the base price is 150,000 taels. This is too expensive!"
Fortunately, she had already bought a fifty-square-meter shop for 150,000 taels.
Although the location is not as good as this one!
But this one is too expensive!
Wen Xin was depressed: "Is the emperor very short of money?!"
She knew that all the money from the auctions of these shops was put into the national treasury.
Nuan Nuan was silent: Of course it’s missing!
"It's a bit expensive, but if it reaches 250,000 taels at most, no one will ask for it. Second sister, just take it."
Thirty square meters is just enough to open a snack shop.
Wen Xin nodded.
She can still afford two hundred and fifty thousand taels.
on stage
Manager Yang raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "As prices rise, so does the price of the shop. This is a shop in the center of the city. Business is booming and customers are coming in like a cloud! I can earn back 150,000 taels in half a year! Not at all. It’s not expensive. Do you want to take a photo? If you don’t take a photo, I’ll move on to the next one!”
Shops in the capital don’t have to worry about selling.
"Shoot, why don't you shoot! One hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Someone said immediately.
Manager Yang is right, as long as the business is good, one hundred and fifty thousand taels can be earned back in a few months.
"One hundred and sixty thousand taels!"
"One hundred and seventy thousand taels"
... ... .
"Twenty-five taels!"
Two hundred and fifty thousand taels were soon called.
Then everyone hesitated.
There is a large shop in the back, but it’s a bit worth it for such a small one at 250,000 taels!
There are shops in Yahang, and the maximum price of a shop of 30 square meters is 200,000 taels!
Manager Yang: "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels, does anyone want to increase the price?"
No one said anything.
He asked again: "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels, the second time!"
Wen Xin's heart was lifted. This two hundred and fifty thousand taels was the price offered by her people.
In another private room, Li Wanwan hesitated and winked at her maid.
Now she can barely afford to buy this one!
Her maid immediately waved her handkerchief out the window.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand taels!"
Wen Wen couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"Two hundred and seventy thousand taels!"
Three hundred thousand taels was the bottom line she gave to the young man.
I hope no one joins me this time!
Li Wanwan looked at the person below with hatred, gritted her teeth and said, "Add it!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand taels!"
The sweet person: "Two hundred and ninety thousand taels!"
Li Wanwan: "...... Add it! It's the last time!"
The worst case scenario is that she will take out all the money from the bottom of her dowry box!
It will be earned back.
The maid waved out the window again.
"Three hundred thousand taels!"
Wen Wen looked at Wen Wen: "Sister Nuan, do you want to join us?"
Wen Nuan nodded: "Add, the bottom line should be the same over there. Just add 20,000 taels, which is just the price of a pot of famous flowers!"
Then Aster also stretched out her hand to hold the handkerchief and waved it twice.
"Three hundred and twenty thousand taels!"
Li Wanwan: "......"
Who on earth hates fighting with myself so much!
The Prime Minister's wife: "You can't add more. You can buy a bigger one with this money. It's not necessary! I wish I had just taken the first one!"
The Prime Minister’s wife felt a little regretful.
She has been a bit unlucky recently. She spent too much money to buy land. Later, the flower farm was destroyed by the bitch Princess Hui'an, who also compensated her for 150,000 taels. Now the house has little cash!
Of course, if you really want to take pictures, it's not impossible, but that sum of money is for emergency use and must not be used indiscriminately.
In the end, Wenxin bought a 30-square-meter shop for 320,000 taels.
Next, there are shops measuring 70 square meters, 100 square meters, and 150 square meters, as well as restaurants and inns measuring over a thousand square meters.
They are all in the downtown area, and the asking price is 800,000 taels for 70 square meters! The asking price for one hundred square meters is one million taels, and the asking price for one hundred and fifty square meters is one million six hundred thousand taels! The base price of that restaurant and inn is 10 million taels!
It’s really too expensive!
The emperor is simply cheating!
But even so, everyone is still competing enthusiastically!
Nuan Wen and others took pictures of a shop measuring 150 square meters, and spent a total of 3 million taels!
This shop is for Wen Wen to open a cloth shop, and the place is just big enough.
Then there was not enough money!
Wen Xin: "I was still thinking about shooting in restaurants and inns, but I didn't expect that all the money we made this time was not even enough for the starting price."
