Xiao Yueye had a thick pile of information in hand. WWw, QuANbEn-XiAoShUo, COm He leaned back in his chair and flipped through the pages. Although he seemed to be focused, his eyes were a little distracted, and he was obviously thinking about other things.
Yansha walked in with a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xiao Yueye's table, bringing him back to reality from his thoughts. Xiao Yueye smiled softly at Yansha, put down the information, and took a sip of tea.
Yan Sha glanced at the thick information and frowned slightly: "Ms. sir, haven't you read all of this?"
"Haha, I feel like I've overlooked something. I want to try and see if I can remember anything." Xiao Yueye pointed to the pile of information casually. These materials are nothing else, they are all major and minor cases in the capital before Ouyang Xiaohua's death.
The murderer's methods were cruel but meticulous, and there was no clue at all. As for the jade pendant that was the only clue, the information about it has been lost and there is no way to know it.
Xiao Yueye didn't believe that there was such a meticulous and clueless case in this world. He firmly believed that he must have missed something wrong, which led to the lack of progress.
But what exactly was it that I missed? What is that vague weird feeling in my mind
Xiao Yueye sighed softly, frowned, and picked up the pile of information again, trying to find something out of it. But his approach was completely in vain. He read this stack of information over and over no less than three times, and he could almost recite it by heart. If there was really any doubt in it, it was absolutely impossible for him not to discover it.
Despite this, Xiao Yueye still refused to give up.
Murong Yufeng came in with a stack of name cards belonging to Lao Gao who was at the base. She threw these name cards on the table and shook her shoulders: "Oh, I'm exhausted. Xiao Lang, this is where I picked this time." There are a total of sixty-one people who are qualified to participate in our auction. The most noble one is the old prince from the clan mansion. In total, we have invited ten of them. Four famous merchants in the capital."
After she finished speaking in one breath, she realized that something seemed wrong about Xiao Yueye's expression. She looked at Yansha, raised her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? Everyone has a sad face?"
Yansha said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just the case of Xiaohua's murder? There is no leader at all now. My husband feels that he has missed something important and has been reading the information."
"Oh!" Murong Yufeng nodded. Xiao Yueye doesn't hide anything from them now, so she also knows that there is no clue about this matter. It's no wonder that Xiao Yueye is a little irritable and has a deep frown all day long.
"Oh, by the way." Murong Yufeng thought of something and hesitated for a while before saying: "Xiao Lang, I heard rumors from the outside that Xiao Hua was killed by ghosts and gods, but I don't know if it is true?!"
"Nonsense." Xiao Yueye sneered: "If we can't find out the truth, and we don't understand the reason, we blame ghosts and gods. If ghosts and gods really exist in this world, the first to be killed are these people who gossip!"
Murong Yufeng shrugged. As early as when her mother-in-law passed away, she no longer believed in the existence of ghosts and gods in the world. And Yan Sha just ignored it. If God really had ghosts and gods with insight into the world, and she had such deep faith back then, why did she encounter such a catastrophe
"What on earth did I miss?" Xiao Yueye scratched his head in annoyance and pulled several of them off.
The two women looked at each other and both could see the other's worry. If Xiao Yueye continues like this and no clues are found, her body will collapse.
Yansha walked up behind him and gently squeezed his shoulders: "Ms. sir, sometimes things can't be figured out just by thinking hard. You'd better relax yourself, right?!"
"Yes, Xiao Lang. After all, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you better not work too hard."
Yansha's hand strength was just right, and Xiao Yueye's face showed an involuntary expression of enjoyment when she squeezed it. Her whole body relaxed and her breathing became much longer. He was indeed a little nervous these days. He had to personally handle a series of things about Murong Liuyun's "real men", and it was only in the past few days that he finally got on the right track and handed everything over to the people below. But after he came back, he thought about the jade pendant every day. It might not seem like much on the surface, but it consumed a lot of his mind and made his face always look a little pale.
"Well, it's comfortable. It's so comfortable. Yan'er, your skills are outstanding!" Xiao Yueye moaned softly and said with a smile on her lips.
Hearing Xiao Yueye's praise, Yan Sha kneaded even more vigorously.
Xiao Yueye knew that the two women were worried about her, and she also knew that she had indeed been a little frivolous and impatient recently. Nothing can be forced, it must be done step by step. The consequence of reaching the sky in one step is to fall to pieces. His own words and deeds in recent times have caused great concern to his family. It's his fault and he knows it.
While her body was immersed in this comfortable feeling, Xiao Yueye's mind remained clear: "Yu Feng, you just said about this auction conference, go on."
"Oh, this time is basically the same as last time. But one thing is for sure, we don't have anything as outstanding as the last auction. I think the most special thing is the Qin Emperor jade pendant on consignment!"
Xiao Yueye nodded, and her body swayed slightly with Yansha's movements: "I understand. To determine the authenticity of Emperor Qin's jade pendant, it is best to ask a highly respected person to vouch for it in public. Only then can the reputation of our auction conference be guaranteed. This Once, we not only auctioned the items, but also the naming rights.”
"Naming rights? What is this?"
Xiao Yueye opened her eyes and laughed softly: "The Emperor's 'Real Man' is a sport with a very far-reaching influence. Think about it, every time there is an activity, the host will say, this time 'Real Man' is sponsored by the full name of a certain company, do you think those businessmen will bid like crazy?"
Murong Yufeng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this: "Then, he must have been crazy about filming! Oh my god, Xiao Lang, how did you come up with such a good idea?"
"Haha." Xiao Yueye chuckled twice and said noncommittally: "I have already asked the emperor for instructions. We will conduct auctions in a cycle of three months. The base price is one hundred thousand taels, and each increase is five thousand taels. The amount collected The amount is divided between us and the emperor, and it is divided between us and him. This is a business without capital!"
"That's right! Who among those shopping mall veterans can't see the business opportunities here? Haha, Xiao Lang, if you think about it this way, we can make a net profit of at least about 10,000 taels per month." Murong Yu With eyes full of stars, it seems that the white silver is waving to him.
Xiao Yueye looked at her appearance and laughed softly: "Well, you are also a dignified princess after all, don't act like a money addict. Yufeng, I will not participate in this auction meeting. With you Our identity makes it easier to hold down the venue. Remember, the items being auctioned this time are secondary. We need to publicize and ensure credibility, so that more people are willing to participate in our auction. Only then will more people be willing to take good things to consign.”
"Yes." Of course Murong Yufeng understood this, she rolled her eyes and said: "Xiao Lang, for the Emperor Qin jade pendant you mentioned just now, I have thought of a candidate. The old prince from the clan mansion, he Although he doesn’t ask questions, he is very knowledgeable about antiques. I think having him testify is enough to guarantee our reputation.”
"That old prince?" Xiao Yueye frowned: "Is he the grandfather of the boy who was beaten by Liu Qianqian? We have no friendship with him, and he may not be willing to have such a dispute!"
"Well..." Murong Yufeng's voice was drawn out, and she shook her head: "That old prince is a very wise and foolish man. Don't worry, he will never be the best with us. And on the contrary, he is also a wise man. He will spare no effort to help us. Who doesn't know that Xiao Lang is a new man? This old prince is famous for his poisonous eyes. I will definitely go to him to talk to him. Don't worry, Xiao Lang. "
"This work is an exclusive text version and may not be reproduced or excerpted without permission. For more latest and fastest chapters, please visit...! Okay! For other auction items this time, choose the mutton-fat jade bottle and the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara. Well, the Fish Intestine Sword, one of the top ten famous swords, is just for decoration at home. Coupled with the naming rights of Emperor Qin’s Jade Pendant and the ‘True Man’, it’s enough!” Xiao Yueye touched her chin and thought for a moment. Yes, he said.
Murong Yufeng nodded: "Okay, I understand. Xiao Lang, look at the list of invitees. If there are no problems, I will go out."
Xiao Yueye looked at them one by one carefully. Among the sixty-one people, he remembered about fifty, but he didn't know much about other officials. After all, he has not integrated into this circle, so he does not know that there are many descendants of the founding heroes in the capital. Although they are low-key and have no real power, they have hereditary titles and are well-known figures in the capital.
"No problem, just go out like this, Yufeng, thank you. By the way, Yan'er, how about the brothel?"
Yansha slowed down a little, and she said with a smile: "Since killing that Wu San, and Zhang Dehai and Song Chuan secretly formed an alliance with us, everything has gone smoothly. Of course, there are also some unscrupulous stumbling blocks. , three times and five times divided by two will be enough. It seems that other forces also understand that we are destined to take a big bite now. They have no ability to touch us, so they can only make small troubles every now and then to make themselves feel better. Just follow your orders and turn a blind eye."
"Well done. After all, we are open to do business in the future, so we can't do anything blindly. Leave everything open so that we can see each other easily in the future." Xiao Yueye nodded, then closed her eyes again, shook her head, her breathing gradually deepened, and something in her heart became more and more intense. , he fell asleep quickly.
Yansha and Murong Yufeng looked at each other and smiled softly. They walked out quietly and closed the door behind them.
The auction was held as scheduled, but the location was changed to a huge painting boat. This painting boat was built with a capacity standard of 100 people, so it can accommodate more than 60 people, which is more than enough.
The auction conference was held more smoothly and more enthusiastically than Xiao Yueye expected, especially the auction of the naming rights of "Real Man" at the end. The atmosphere of the whole scene was like eating dynamite. You chase each other, you compete with each other. seize. And not only the twelve businessmen, but also some officials or princes and grandsons with titles, all saw the fertile business opportunities and vast market inside, and took action one after another.
The base price of one hundred thousand taels was suddenly raised to 330,000 taels before he stopped.
When Murong Yufeng came back with the thick stack of banknotes, gold stars were shining in everyone's eyes. Proportionally, they can divide it into 100,000 taels, plus a total of 20,700 taels from the auction of other items. This time, they made a net profit of more than 120,000 taels.
But despite being happy, Yin Caiju was also a little confused. Although the four items in this auction are not as good as the last time, they will not only fetch more than 20,000 taels! Although they only get a 10% commission on the Emperor Qin's Jade Pendant, the Fish Intestine Sword is one of the top ten famous swords and is worth at least 20,000 taels
After Murong Yufeng's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
It turned out that at the auction, the old prince actually guaranteed in his own name that the Qin Emperor's jade pendant was genuine, so the jade pendant fetched more than 50,000 taels, and they paid 5,000 taels in advance. The later suet-fat jade bottles and Thousand-Hand Guanyin were shot at 7,300 taels and 7,400 taels respectively. In this way, the total is nineteen thousand taels. Speaking of which, the Fish Intestine Sword only cost one thousand taels!
The situation was like this. As soon as the fish intestine sword appeared, it immediately caused a sensation. The eyes of the old prince of the clan mansion shone even brighter. He stood up and said that he liked the sword very much and hoped that others would part with it. This old man not only has a distinguished status, but also has been entrenched in the capital for so many years and has strong power. Naturally, everyone nodded. However, this old prince is not a bully. He is willing to buy the Fish Intestine Sword at ten times the reserve price. In this case, Xiao Yueye wouldn't have to pay much. However, Murong Yufeng had an idea at that time and decided to give it a try and said that the base price of the sword was one hundred taels, hence the origin of the one thousand taels.
The old prince was stunned on the spot. He still didn't understand that this was a favor given to him by Murong Yufeng? One thousand taels, to them, is nothing more than drizzle, it’s just meaningless. You know, even the Thousand-Armed Guanyin has a base price of two thousand taels!
Murong Yufeng won the old prince's favor and favor with a little profit. This will be very beneficial to their future development. So when everyone knew the whole story, they all praised her for doing a good job!
Things happened naturally after the auction meeting, and Xiao Yueye's name once again became famous in the capital. The common people now seem to be somewhat immune and are not as excited as they were at the beginning. Just like you will be very excited at first to know that the emperor eats dragon liver, phoenix and gallbladder for every meal, but after a while, you will only feel numb or even accustomed to it. If someone said that the emperor ate vegetables and radishes every day, you would be surprised!
Xiao Yueye's current situation is quite similar.
However, laymen see the excitement, and experts see the door. People from all walks of life in the capital smelled too many unique smells from this novel auction meeting.
First of all, the first person to organize the Beijing Auction Conference in the future will probably be Xiao Yueye. With such two successful and sensational experiences, coupled with Xiao Yueye's strong financial resources, it is impossible for others to compete.
Secondly, it was Murong Yufeng who asked someone to give the favor to the old prince, and the old prince happily accepted the favor. What does this mean? That was because the old prince seemed to have a vague intention of covering Xiao Yueye. Although Xiao Yueye is now a rising star, his momentum is approaching that of Mu Zhiqi and others. But he had almost no foundation in the capital. But the old prince is different! He has been entrenched in the capital all year round, and his power is entangled. I don't know how many people have received his great favor. Even people like him who are unpredictable are respectful to him and do not dare to offend this old man. There are rumors in the upper circles that if this old man had not protected himself and was only willing to serve as a false name in the clan mansion, he would be inferior to one person in the capital and superior to ten thousand people! With the old prince's advice, it was only a matter of time before Xiao Yueye wanted to fully integrate into the upper class circles in the future.
The third is the most shocking and thought-provoking point. The emperor's previous "real man" related matters were all handled by Xiao Yueye, which is enough to make people nervous. But this time, it was an open and honest “investment invitation”! This is something that has never happened since ancient times! Since ancient times, agriculture, industry and commerce, although businessmen have made a lot of profits, their social status is quite low. Such a "noble" sports event organized by the royal family actually "recruited investment", and it was through Xiao Yueye's hand that it "recruited investment" through bidding! After the news came out, countless old ministers knelt in front of the Jinluan Palace and told the emperor not to disturb the laws and regulations. They also severely criticized Xiao Yueye's behavior of using the royal reputation to gain personal interests and harming the majesty of the royal family. The calls for him to be brought to justice are getting louder day by day! But Murong Liuyun dismissed it and asked the eunuch to burn it in front of these old ministers. His behavior made it clear that Xiao Yueye was authorized by him! Although everyone had been prepared for this for a long time, only when they saw this scene did they realize that Xiao Yueye's power had reached the sky!
The emperor's trust in him has actually reached this level. This makes some people happy and some worried!
The most worrying thing is the unpredictability. Seeing Xiao Yueye getting stronger day by day, he did not have enough ability to restrain him. Once Xiao Yueye was above him, the Mo family would collapse.
So Mo Zhiqi was really anxious this time.
When he was anxious, he instinctively called Su Jing, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Work, all his powerful confidants, to his home to discuss important matters.
Su Jing came late, which made Mo Zhiqi very dissatisfied. However, with the information Su Jing brought, Mo Zhi's expression suddenly brightened. . . . . . (Quanben Novel Network www.QuANbEn-XiAoShUo.com)
