Chapter 148: A Crazy Ming Dynasty Businessman Who Made Nearly 10 Million In One Night [Please Subscr
"Everyone, the first item to be auctioned at the Glazed Auction Fair is a portable colored glaze mirror!!!"
"This glass mirror is about the size of a palm, with a retractable lid. It is about the same size as an ordinary rouge box, making it easy for you to carry around!"
"The surface of the mirror cover is engraved with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, which is elegant yet luxurious. The back of the mirror body is engraved with the word Nonghuang of Nonghuang Chamber of Commerce.'
"And there is also a unique production number of year, month, day, and an equally unique elegant poem."
"The mirror surface is flawless and reflects every detail. It is the best choice for you who pay attention to your appearance and appearance!"
In the center of the restaurant, an auctioneer with 30 years of experience in auction transactions who had been poached by Jin Yiwei was introducing passionately.
At the same time, one maid after another walked past the guests holding a pair of portable glass mirrors for viewing.
However, the palm-sized glazed mirror reflected the shocked expressions of all the guests reflected on it.
After all the guests had seen it, the auctioneer in charge of the auction shouted loudly:
"Pursuant colored glass mirrors, one hundred taels each, ten thousand in total, will not be auctioned separately."
"And there will not be another similar product auctioned tonight or in the next two nights, so the starting price is one million taels. Let's start bidding now!!!"
As the auctioneer announced the starting price of the first item, the whole place fell into silence.
They never expected that the portable glass mirror would be auctioned in this way, and the auction price would be as high as one million taels.
Then, all the distinguished disciples, wealthy businessmen, Great Shang heads, etc. all present began to whisper.
In the box on the top floor, Qianhu Pei Lun, the Jin Yiwei guard standing aside, looked at Yan Changqing slightly and asked curiously:
"Sir, wouldn't it be better to auction these glazed mirrors one by one?"
"At one hundred taels of silver per side, all the guests here can probably afford it and are willing to buy it."
“If we put them all up for auction, no one would be able to afford them, right?!!”
After more than a month of getting along with each other, they also knew that Yan Changji was not a particularly dignified person.
On the contrary, sometimes they are quite easy to get along with, and they will even patiently answer some of their doubts sometimes.
So when faced with things he didn't quite understand, Pei Lun began to dare to ask Yan Changqing for advice.
Yan Changqing took a sip of tea and then chuckled:
"One-sided auctions are not impossible, but they are too low-grade and a waste of time."
"One million taels is a lot, but not everyone can afford it."
"For example, Shaanxi merchants, Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, Yan merchants, etc., these wealthy merchants and chambers of commerce all over the Central Plains, with their own wealth, if they spend all their money, any one of them can come up with one million taels. "
"Of course, a smarter approach is actually for two or three chambers of commerce to jointly bid. In this way, on average, a chamber of commerce only needs to pay three to four hundred thousand taels, which is not even a big deal for them. ".
"And I just said that tonight and the next two nights there will never be another auction of such a flawless portable glass mirror."
"In other words, these 10,000 unique portable glass mirrors are limited edition."
"With the word "limited quantity", they can sell it for two hundred taels per side, or even three or four hundred taels per side!"
"Even if they hoard and further increase the price, even 500 taels can be sold smoothly!"
"Even though ten thousand portable glass mirrors may seem like a lot, in reality they are only sold within the Yingtianfu area, which is enough to sell them all."
"After all, there has never been such a transparent and flawless glass mirror before. Most of the previous glass mirrors were dim and blurry. Although they could illuminate people, they were always like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water separated by a faint blur. feel."
"Nowadays, glass mirrors that are so transparent and flawless and can capture every detail of a person's photo are on sale. Anyone with a little bit of money will buy one."
"And even if I don't need it, there are always a few ladies in my family who do."
"Even if the little ladies in the family don't need it at first, they will still need it when they see that other sisters and close friends have it.
"So after taking pictures of these 10,000 portable glass mirrors, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them."
"Even if we take a step back, all these 10,000 portable glazed mirrors cannot be sold out in Yingtian Mansion. Their various chambers of commerce are great chambers of commerce throughout the Central Plains.
"These ten thousand portable colored glass mirrors will be resold all over the Central Plains. They will be digested without even making a splash."
"Don't underestimate the rich people in Ming Dynasty. In fact, there are many rich people in Ming Dynasty. It's just that they were suppressed by His Majesty before and they didn't dare to show it off."
"So these 10,000 portable glazed mirrors were actually sold to them."
As Yan Changqing finished speaking, someone started bidding outside.
"One million taels!!!"
In the private room on the third floor, a price call suddenly came out.
After this bidding sound came out, other bidding sounds also sounded one after another.
"One million one hundred and one thousand taels!!!"
"One hundred and fifteen thousand taels!!!"
"One million two hundred thousand taels!!!"
"One million two hundred and thirty thousand taels!!!"
Seeing the bidding one after another outside, Pei Lun was so shocked that he was speechless.
The price these people shouted was really more than one million taels, not more than one hundred taels?!
Pei Lun suddenly felt that he might not live in the same world as the people bidding.
It can easily cost millions of taels of silver, which is simply outrageous.
"What, are the people calling us all those big winning businessmen, because of the Chamber of Commerce?!!"
Yan Changqing glanced at Pei Lun who was peering out of the window and smiled.
"Yes, those who just bid are all principals of Shaanxi merchants, Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, Yan merchants, Chao merchants, Lu merchants, Fujian merchants, Gan merchants, Su merchants and other chambers of commerce, as well as a few individual wealthy merchants.
Pei Lun looked at Yan Changqing with admiration and replied.
"Two million two hundred and eighty thousand taels, deal done!!!"
"Congratulations to this guest for taking 10,000 portable glass mirrors!!!"
"Please pay 2.28 million taels, or something worth 2.28 million taels, within three days, otherwise we will treat the auction as a failure and the second highest bidder will get it.
"All other customers who didn't take a picture of this product don't be disappointed. We will also give each of the guests here a free small portable glass mirror as a souvenir." 1
The auctioneer in the middle of the restaurant roared at the top of his lungs, his face full of excitement.
The first auction item was auctioned for more than two million taels, which was simply the peak of his past auction life!
"Two million two hundred and eighty thousand taels!!!"
Pei Lun stood at the window dumbfounded and muttered to himself.
“Which merchants jointly took this photo?!!”
Yan Changqing looked at Lu Wenzhao on the other side and asked calmly, the price of more than two million taels is not something that a chamber of commerce or a wealthy businessman can shout out.
"They are Shanxi merchants, Yan merchants, and a wealthy merchant named Zhao."
Lu Wenzhao replied respectfully that when he heard Yan Changqing say that he wanted to earn 10 million taels in three nights, he thought it was just a fairy tale, but it turned out that his vision was too small and he was too poor.
"Sir, why do you need to give each of them a small, portable glass mirror?!!"
Pei Lun, who came back to his senses, asked with some confusion.
Those palm-sized portable colored glass mirrors just now could be auctioned for more than two million taels. There are estimated to be more than a thousand guests present today. At least one thousand colored glass mirrors were given away to each person.
If this was put up for auction, it would probably be worth more than ten to two hundred thousand taels.
"."The glazed mirror that was auctioned before was still the size of a palm, but the commemorative compact glazed mirror given to them now is only the size of a copper coin."
"The leftover materials used in making portable glass mirrors are not valuable in themselves and are just waste."
"And there are so many portable glass mirrors, but they can't take pictures of any of them, so they will feel a little bit resentful in their hearts."
"Give them a scrap glass mirror the size of a copper coin. Even if they have grievances, they won't be embarrassed to speak out.
“And with the free gift of this copper coin-sized scrap glass mirror, which is more exciting, they will be even more eager to buy those palm-sized portable glass mirrors.
"After all, when they are using scrap glass mirrors the size of copper coins, others are using hand-held glass mirrors the size of a palm. What do you think they will think?!"
"Of course I gritted my teeth and bought a three-sided hand-sized portable glass mirror."
"Why not do something that kills three birds with one stone?"
Yan Changqing said calmly.
And Pei Lun saw that after the free small portable glass mirrors were delivered to the hands of all the guests present, most of the originally noisy complaints and dissatisfaction disappeared immediately.
Then Pei Lun looked at Yan Changqing with admiration, as if he were looking at the God of Wealth.
Not only does he have the ability to turn stone into glass, but his grasp of the heart of merchants (Hao Nuo Zhao) is also terrifying.
[No wonder even all the highnesses call you sir, they really have real abilities that ordinary people don’t have!!!]
Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun both had this thought in their minds.
Then the second glass auction item was a floor-standing glass mirror that was as tall as a person, and the starting price of this glass mirror that was as tall as a person was fifty thousand taels.
Facing this auction item, which is also rare in the world, the noble sons and daughters on the scene, or other people from superior families, couldn't help but bid.
From 50,000 taels to 380,000 taels, it was finally settled.
The subsequent auction items will be an auction of a large number of colored glaze treasures that are bound together, and then an auction of a rare colored glaze treasure. Samsara alternates between the two.
A large number of colored glaze treasures bundled together can fetch a sky-high price of one million taels every time. Well, the starting price is ten square taels.
A single piece of exquisite colored glaze at auction can often fetch from 300,000 to 500,000 taels!
When an hour passed, all the glass auction items prepared on the first night were auctioned off.
In the end, on the first night, the auction yielded 8.87 million taels!!!
