The First Thousand and Thirty-Three Chapters, Rich Merchants Gathered, Bidding, Huge Sums of Money
More than ten pairs of bright eyes were staring at Fang Xing, regardless of his dignity. x update the fastest and what makes them so bold is nothing but money!
When there is 100% profit, they dare to trample on the laws of the world without hesitation!
Fang Xing nodded, and said: "The production of glass and mirrors is limited every year. One is because it is difficult, really difficult, and there are too many waste products. The other is that the court and China do not want to hit the price in large quantities. For this reason, as old businesses, you should I understand."
The merchants nodded one after another, with expressions of understanding on their faces.
If the quantity is large, the price will naturally be low. Who doesn't understand this truth.
"Uncle, this is like a harvest year, the price of rice will definitely be suppressed, and everyone understands."
That Su Likun exchanged glances with the two people beside him, then laughed and laughed.
"That's right! If there are too many shipments, those rich people are not fools, so they will be reluctant to buy. Uncle really knows everything! I'm so impressed."
"Although we are old merchants, Uncle is a talent from the sky. Compared with Uncle, we are like the light of fireflies in Haoyue. I have benefited a lot from what Uncle said, ah!"
"..."
Flattery words spewed out of the mouths of these old Jianghu without money, if it was changed to someone with weaker concentration, most of them would be swayed at this moment.
Fang Xing's face was full of spring breeze, as if he had been blown away by this round of flattery.
Just when these merchants were secretly complacent, Fang Xing made these voices disappear with just one sentence.
"I want silver! Lots of silver!"
The voice disappeared instantly, as if those words just now were just hallucinations.
Fang Xing was very satisfied with the result, he said flatly: "Everyone knows the profits of glass and mirrors, this is the first batch to be sold, and only three will be taken!"
"Only take three?"
In an instant, his humble face changed, and his eyes were full of greed and determination.
"May I ask how much money uncle needs?"
It is not allowed to trade with gold and silver, that is only for merchants and common people, of course there is no such restriction in the DPRK and China.
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "The highest bidder wins, today is here, everyone can speak freely, there is no need to mention any conditions, the top three will be qualified, and the bid will be re-bidding three years later."
The room fell silent immediately, everyone was lowering their heads and thinking about how much money they could pay.
Merchants are pursuing profit maximization, and the first batch of dealers will definitely make a lot of money. If this qualification is lost, the gap will widen in the future.
"After three years, I believe that the net worth of the first batch of three people will have a shocking increase. At that time, another bidding will surely take the lead."
Fang Xing Chiguoguo was promising to cheer up the first batch of merchants. For a while, the blood of the dozen or so people was excited, and they all calculated in their hearts that they would be able to transfer money.
Why do the DPRK and China want money?
After the excitement, a question swirled in the minds of these ten people.
Reminiscent of the exchange of precious banknotes for silver being carried out outside the household department, these people still don't understand.
It turns out that you also beg us merchants sometimes!
Fang Xing clapped his hands, Ye Qing came in, took a blackboard and chalk, stood beside Fang Xing, hung up the blackboard, wrote the names of these ten people, each with a blank space below their names.
"All bids, I passed, three people, the three highest bidders will get the right to sell glass and mirrors in Daming for the next three years. Let's start."
The eyes of more than a dozen people flew wildly, Fang Xing lowered his eyes to rest his mind.
Someone finally spoke up, "Uncle, it's 90,000 taels."
Fang Xing nodded slightly, noncommittal, and then Ye Qing wrote down the price under the person's name.
Ninety thousand taels, what the hell are you sending beggars away!
"The price of Hubu's glass and mirrors is only one-fifth of what is currently on the market. According to this price, the total price of shipments is three million taels."
Fang Xing reminded that the glass and mirrors currently on the market are all made by the Fang family.
Rare things are expensive, the price of these glass and mirrors is scary, so the final ex-factory price is set at one-fifth of the current price. How high is the profit inside?
It is up to these three companies to coordinate shipments and agree on strategies.
"Uncle, I will give you one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver."
Someone raised the price, but others were not in a hurry, as if they would definitely turn the tables.
Fang Xing squinted his eyes, as if closing his eyes to rest his mind.
"Uncle, I will give you two hundred thousand taels of silver."
A full-length mirror can earn at least a thousand taels of silver, how much can it be sold in three years? Not counting the profit on glass and mirrors.
For those wealthy families, once you buy a full-length mirror, you can guess how many it is.
How many rich people are there in Daming?
This is a difficult question to determine, but according to Jin Yiwei's method, it is countless.
Maybe in a certain inconspicuous courtyard, there lives a rich man worth more than one hundred thousand taels, but usually you can't see it at all.
Hiding wealth, this is the method Zhu Yuanzhang tossed out.
"Uncle, I will pay you three hundred thousand taels of silver."
After seeing Fang Xing's calm face and not being moved at all, the bid finally began to increase significantly.
"Uncle, I will give you three hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver."
Qian Donglai's bid made everyone quiet for a moment, and then Su Likun said with a smile: "Old Qian, you are really good, I don't know how many people you want to borrow money from! In this way, the price is 370,000 taels."
Fang Qiyuan finally said: "Uncle, I will give you three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. But the silver is hard to find, and I guess it would be considered heavenly to get fifty thousand taels. As for the remaining three hundred thousand taels, at least... It will take two years."
Fang Xing was indifferent, there was no more bids, and everyone was keeping silent.
Xing Hebo, should that be enough? More than one million taels!
Cash is very difficult, and everyone knows that it will take at least one or two years to pay off these quotations, that is, credit sales.
Silence, has been silent, Fang Xing seems to have fallen asleep. Ye Qing is watching everyone's bids. Xin Laoqi and Dao outside the door, one facing outwards and the other facing inward, were on guard.
Those businessmen are used to such scenes, and have sat on the bench countless times.
Why are businessmen in Ming Dynasty despised? And then be suppressed in position!
One is to be able to bow their heads. In order to make a deal, they can bow their heads until they feel that there is no hope, but they will not turn their faces. Because no one knows whether they will deal with this customer in the future.
This is called harmony and prosperity!
The second is to be good at drilling. For profit, their various senses are stimulated to be extremely sharp, looking for the possible gap in the impossible.
Give me a stick and I can buy the earth!
The third is to value profit and forget justice. When making money becomes a gene rooted in their bones, they will do everything for profit.
Give me the profit and I'll sell my soul to the devil!
I don't know how long it took, diners began to enter the downstairs, and after hearing that the second floor could not go up, they were arguing with the waiter.
The voice reached the second floor, Fang Xing opened his eyes, without even looking at the blackboard, he said flatly, "Thank you for your generosity, Ye Qing, for preparing two tables of good food, everyone has contributed to the country, Fang treats guests, please slow down." use."
Ye Qing hurriedly agreed, the second floor can also be opened.
"Uncle is too polite, I'm so shocked!"
Su Likun, who was the first bidder, followed Fang Xing up with a smile on his face, and Qian Donglai, who was the second bidder, also said with a red face: "Uncle, I wanted to treat Uncle to a light meal, but after much deliberation, the entire city of Beiping I can't find a better restaurant than Yixian, and I want to borrow flowers to present Buddha... I don't know if Uncle is willing to reward me?"
Fang Qiyuan, who bid for the third place, said with a forced smile, "Please, uncle, please show me your face."
Fang Xing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Benbo has to go to the palace to see His Majesty at noon, you can use it yourself."
A group of people sent Fang Xing out, and then came back, and soon two tables moved in, and the food and drinks were brought up like water.
Warm atmosphere!
