Chapter 58 Bidding

A mighty convoy of more than 80 carriages approached Wuyang City, but this convoy seemed a bit strange. Seeing this strange team, people expressed their opinions one after another:

"This carriage is so big, can this horse pull it?"

"Look at the ruts on the ground, what a heavy carriage, how many things have been pulled! Poor horse, it's so cruel that you don't know how to cherish horses."

"Stupid, don't you know, this carriage uses bearings. According to my neighbor's son, after they use bearings, the carriage is three or five times easier. If you add a few more wheels, a horse It can pull hundreds of stones of goods."

"Really?" Everyone looked, and sure enough the horses were not tired at all.

All these carriages are two horses running side by side, and behind them is a carriage about one foot long, six feet wide, and five feet high, with four wheels. Judging by the ruts in the ground, almost all of the vehicles were fully loaded.

And there are more than 80 carriages in this carriage, stretching for a distance of one mile, and slowly arriving outside the gate of Wuyang City, arousing countless curiosity.

Song Xing took the lead to dismount and waited quietly.

Soon a royal guard came out, "Your Majesty has an order that all carriages enter the city immediately."

The guards walked in front, and Song Xing and others got out of the car behind and led the horses forward. Under the "protection and guardianship" of more royal guards, the mighty team directly entered the palace, and finally waited one by one in the guard field-the place where the guards usually gather for training.

Accompanied by Fu Minghui, His Majesty the Emperor strode forward.

"Meet Your Majesty." Song Xing hurriedly greeted.

"Song Xing, tell me, how many things did Li Xian send to me?" His Majesty the Emperor was very happy. Li Xian's actions were fast. He had just "escaped" and returned to Anyang less than two months ago, so he wrote back to himself, Said the items for the first looms were ready. But he didn't say the specific amount, just said it was a surprise.

His Majesty the Emperor took Li Xian's little play as a joke; in this world of practice, there are not too many rules and regulations.

Song Xing presented a simple document, but he said fluently: "It is mainly bearings, main shafts and sea soul silk. There are a total of 12,000 bearings, 6,000 main shafts, and 100 kilometers of sea soul silk.

In addition, there is a bride price for the princess, totaling 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 mirrors, 30 crystal chandeliers, and 200 sets of stainless steel weapons and armor. There are also 20 tons of stainless steel iron ingots. "

His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, okay, haha. But speaking of it, the industrial standards of your Brilliant Star Firm are indeed very good."

It turns out that in the past two months or so, the industrial fire ignited by Li Xian has burned the entire Daxia Kingdom, and the unified industrial standards introduced by Li Xian have gradually been accepted by everyone—everyone has seen the benefits of unified specifications .

Besides, Brilliant Stars Trading Co., Ltd. dominates the market and leads the development of the entire industry through so-called "standard parts". Everyone has to follow in Li Xian's footsteps. If you don't follow Li Xian's standards, you won't be able to use your bearings!

In addition, internally, Brilliant Star Firm has been officially upgraded to a "group", but externally, everyone is still accustomed to calling it "commercial firm". These are minor issues, don't worry about them.

Soon, personnel from the Royal Commercial Bank came to check and settle the accounts. Naturally, there is no need for settlement as a bride price, but the bearings, spindles, and sea soul silk that are commodities must be settled.

The bearing is one tael of silver a piece--Li Xian is very unscrupulous in selling it. One tael of silver costs one thousand copper plates, which is similar to the purchasing power of one thousand yuan; on earth, anyone who dared to sell ordinary bearings for one thousand yuan would be beaten to death.

The small main shaft of the engine is cheap, 50 for a tael of silver. The reason why the spindle is so cheap is because it is easy to refine the spindle with magic. Of course, the engine spindles sold by Li Xian are all small and medium-sized.

Sea soul silk is the most expensive, even if it is sold to His Majesty the Emperor, it is still 4 taels of gold per meter! One hundred kilometers cost 400,000 taels of gold!

The amount of gold is too large, and His Majesty the Emperor can't get it out. But it doesn't matter, His Majesty the Emperor has a solution. A hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum costs 20,000 to 30,000 taels of gold, and His Majesty the Emperor is very "generous" to calculate it according to 30,000 taels of gold. There are also hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng, 40,000 to 50,000 taels. His Majesty the Emperor is still very "generous", and the calculation is based on 50,000 taels.

In this way, 10 hundred years of Ganoderma lucidum and two hundred years of ginseng will complete all payments. As for the 132 taels of gold for the bearing and the main shaft, it was "generously" rounded up by His Majesty the Emperor.

Song Xing was sweating coldly while listening to His Majesty's "arithmetic". Fortunately, Xu Ren had already confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor would renege on his debts, so it would be nice to get these. What's more, Li Xian's commodity prices are also inflated.

After leaving the palace with an empty carriage, Song Xing first went to Li's Mansion to report the situation, gave Li Yulong the precious century-old medicinal materials, and then left Wuyang City, staying in Li's Mansion Workshop outside Wuyang City.

Here, countless businessmen have already come.

"Master Song is here."

"Hello, Mr. Song."

...

But he said that Li Xian was the captain, and Song Xing also got a small official.

Song Xing walked slowly amid such calls, "Thank you for your support. Today, on behalf of the Brilliant Star Group, which is Brilliant Star Commercial Bank, I am releasing a message:

We will hold a tender for regional agency rights.

Everyone earns money together, and we will start an agency in a month. At present, Brilliant Star Group has bearings and main shafts, big clocks, silk, cotton cloth, Gebu, mirrors and glass products and lanterns, finished engines, stainless steel weapons and steel ingots, large pieces of complete steel plates of equal thickness, and thick steel plates that can be used as building materials. There are more than a dozen kinds of products such as glass plates, screws and nuts.

For all items, we have an open tender on the happy day of April 1st (O(∩_∩)O ha!) a month later.

The tender overview is:

First, each commodity is tendered separately.

Second, the scope is the 12 counties of the Great Xia Kingdom, except for Wuyang and Anyang, the remaining 10 counties.

Cai Guo, Qi Guo, Chen Guo, and Jin Guo around Great Xia also each recruited a general agent.

Third, we will auction at a 20% discount on the market price, and the highest bidder will win.

Fourth, no credit, cash settlement.

Fifth, each agent has a default period of three years; inspections are conducted once every three years, and if the results are not satisfactory, then we will terminate the contract and look for a new agent.

Sixth, where there are agents, we will no longer intervene in sales, and the original Brilliant Star stores will be transformed into after-sales service points, responsible for product quality maintenance. In other words, we undertake the after-sales maintenance, and you don't need to worry about it at all.

This is probably the case. If you have any questions, you can ask them now. "

"Let me ask!" A person squeezed out, "Captain Song, is this agent only in charge of his own area?"

"Yes, according to the existing division of counties and districts, everyone is only responsible for the corresponding commodities and the corresponding areas. It is not allowed to cross the border. But this is only theoretical. After all, we have no ability and cannot be responsible for the situation between you. .”

"Understood." The man withdrew.

Another person stepped forward, "Master Song, can one person only represent one type of item, or multiple types?"

Song Xing smiled slightly: "As long as you have the ability, we will not restrict you. Businessmen, there is no way you can't get along with money."

"Haha, Lord Song is right."

Then someone asked some questions, covering almost every aspect, and Song Xing answered them one by one.

In the end, someone asked a key question, and this person's attitude was quite arrogant: "Song Xing, you are going to be an agent, and the output is expected to be a lot. Can I ask how your output of cloth, bearings, iron ingots, steel plates, etc. is?"

Song Xing raised his head, "As of four days ago, we weaved 12,000 pieces of cloth a day, produced 5,000 sets of bearings, produced 500 tons of iron ingots and steel plates a day, and produced 350 tons of glass a day.

It is expected that by August of this year, the output of all our items will be more than tripled, or even more. "

"What a big breath."

Song Xing smiled proudly, "Because we are Brilliant Star Group, because we ignited the fire of industry. Everyone, welcome to our headquarters.

Goodbye! "
