Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Let's see what they are up to (Part [-])
Seeing Chang Xi pushing through the crowd and coming over, James immediately jumped off the temporary stage. He was over excited for a moment, and he reached out to hug Chang Xi to celebrate with her, but Chang Xi quickly took two steps back, even He looked at him with a warning face, this is Da Yuchao, the folk customs are conservative, but he doesn't like the western hugging ceremony, if he dares to mess around, a disciple's hat can be put on his head.

Without a good reputation, he would be listed as a refusal account in the Daewoo Dynasty, and his business would be over.

It was only then that James realized that something bad happened to him just now, and he patted the back of his head in frustration, but when he thought of this successful auction, he quickly recovered, with a brighter smile on his face, "Chang, my friend, look at the auction numbers, do you know? Have you already received nearly 1 taels of silver?"

Hearing this, Chang Xi looked at him in surprise, could he really bid for so much silver?

Xie Ming, who was following the past, also opened his mouth wide in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "How much money?"

James was not interested in this Daewoo-chao man, but he knew that he was a local snake in Yiyang City, so he restrained himself and told him a specific value.

Xie Ming was not only surprised at this moment, but also shocked and unable to recover.

James didn't bother to pay attention to his stupidity, but passed him directly to Chang Xi with the data in his hand, "Chang, I'm not lying, you can see for yourself."

Chang Xi took it over and saw at a glance that the figure just calculated was indeed almost ten thousand taels of silver.

She conservatively estimated that it would be too much to bid for a few thousand taels. After all, tea bricks are a new thing for this group of foreigners. It is still unknown how the market will accept them. They need to take real money Come to bid for exclusive agency rights, it is estimated that many people will retreat.

Even if someone is optimistic about the prospect of tea bricks, there is a lot of money they are willing to spend. After all, who knows what the return rate of this thing is?
Everyone has an account in mind.

But now James reported an unexpected number to her. Even though she would not be surprised for a long time, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression at this moment.

At this moment, she calmed down her excitement, opened the bidding list and looked at it carefully. The first one was Fan Luoxi from the Tulip Country. It also successfully won the exclusive agency right of Tulip Country.

The next Gaul...

She looked through them one by one, and found that only the big countries on the Europa continent were able to obtain the exclusive agency rights in the region. As for some small countries, no one made an offer at all. In the end, they were still reluctant to take out real money to compete.

This is quite close to her previous expectations.

It is understandable that businessmen in small countries are afraid that they will not be able to make back their money. After all, their land is small and their population is small. Even the nobles are miserable. How can they afford real luxury?And they can't compete with businessmen from big countries, so they can only choose to give up, or they will be satisfied if they can win a sip of soup in the later stage.

However, the nearly 1 taels of bidding money greatly relieved her financial pressure, and besides, no one would dislike having too much money.

"James, my true friend, this number is amazing, you have done better than I expected."

Listening to Chang Xi's praise, James couldn't hold back the smile on his face, but he won't mention the money at this moment, after all, he won the exclusive agency rights in Litan and Sulan. It didn't cost a single copper coin, and he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when he thought of saving so much money.

Chang Xi doesn't care about the small profit of the rope. After all, without James as the bait, she can't catch so many big fish, so the benefits that should be given should be given generously, so that everyone will be happy.

She showed this value to the four shopkeepers who were sitting on the side stretching their heads and looking around, proving that her tea bricks were worth their investment.

Shopkeeper Guo widened his old eyes. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't choose to believe it. Now he looked at Chang Xi the same way he looked at God of Wealth. This woman was more congenial than he imagined. fiscal.

Shopkeeper Ma and the others gasped. They didn’t understand what the foreign devils were yelling before, and they laughed in their hearts that these foreign devils were rare and strange. They didn’t have much hope for this auction. In fact, they didn’t understand much. Chang Xi's operation.

After all, if there are foreign devils who want to buy it, it's better to sell it directly to them, so what's the point of having this exclusive agency right?

They don't have to worry so much at all, as long as the tea bricks can be sold anyway.

But now seeing that nearly 1 taels of silver were sold in this auction, the three of them couldn't sit still.

"Can you really get nearly 1 taels of silver?" Shopkeeper Liu asked after swallowing his saliva.

Then the other three stared at Chang Xi closely.

"Of course." Chang Xi said with a smile, "The only ones who can participate in this auction are powerful foreign businessmen. Those who have no strength and those who cheat are all screened out, and they have to pay a certain deposit to participate."

Not everyone is qualified to bid here, otherwise she wouldn't have given James so many benefits to hire him to do this job, and in order to restrain him, she even used the translator as a manager.

Of course, it is risky to use Si Li as a person, but fortunately, she made the right bet. This person's principles prevent him from colluding with others, so the result is gratifying.

Chang Xi, who was in high spirits at the moment, didn't know that someone was paying close attention to her auction, and saw that the secretly observing person quietly took over with his companions, and then quickly rushed to other small courtyards belonging to the Yuelai Inn.

Not far from this small courtyard, there is a small courtyard with rockery, flowing water and winding paths. This is the most expensive courtyard of Yuelai Inn. The renters are all dignitaries, and the charges are even higher than that of the small courtyard rented by James and Xie Ming. The hospital is incomparable.

"My lord, the auction over there has ended."

Upon hearing this, the two chess players stopped immediately, and the man in a green shirt and wearing a cloth scarf of the same color immediately asked with a smile, "Is this really an auction?"

If Chang Xi was here, he would be shocked, this person seems to be Yuan Tailiang who deliberately used a fan to strike up a conversation with her that day.

"Yes, my lord. It is said that it seems to be bidding for something. Oh, it is the exclusive agency right of tea bricks. Those foreign devils are flocking to it. I heard that the auction has nearly ten thousand taels of silver. I don't know what this tea brick is. I've never seen anything like this on the market."

Yuan Tailiang and the man who played chess exchanged glances, both of them were well-read poets and books, but they had never heard of tea bricks.

"Master Zhang, has tea bricks appeared in Yiyang City before?"

Master Zhang, who is much older than him, frowned immediately when he heard his question, "I have been working here for seven years, and I have never heard of this thing appearing on the market. If Master Yuan is curious, why don't you go with me?" Look at what these merchants are doing."

Yuan Hao is a person with extraordinary backgrounds. Although Mr. Zhang has a higher official rank than him, he dare not really neglect him. If he can get help from his family in the next assessment, even if he cannot be transferred back to be an official in the capital, his rank will go up. It is not difficult to go.

Therefore, when the other party took up the post of Yiyang City Shipbuilding Commissioner, not only would he not give resistance, but he would also fully support it.

When Yuan Hao heard this, he immediately became interested. The reason why he paid attention to this auction was because foreigners gathered, and the government was also afraid of accidents, and his newly transferred official position also had to deal with foreigners, so he paid attention to it.

Then, he put away the folding fan and pointed outward, "Master Zhang, please."

Master Zhang laughed, and also made a gesture of invitation to the outside.

With a smile on the corner of Yuan Hao's mouth, he got up and walked out at the same time as the other party.

Walking outside along this secluded path, the scenery is completely different. The two seem to be strolling in the garden, but they have their own plans in their hearts. Of course, they are all amiable on the surface.

Although Yuan Hao was airborne from the capital to gain qualifications, but Qianglong does not overwhelm local snakes, it is necessary to establish good relations with local officials and wealthy gentry, so when he comes, he first pays homage to Xie's family. With Xie's relationship, it is advisable Yangcheng could hardly find anyone to make things difficult for him.

When they reached the busy courtyard over there, both of them signaled to the rest of their subordinates not to follow, and only took two or three accompanying servants to step in.

Neither of these two people acted in a high-profile manner, but they were not ordinary people at first glance. The guard at the gate didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried in and whispered to Xie Ming about the matter.

Xie Ming, who was watching Chang Xi sign the contract with those foreign devils who had won the auction, immediately frowned, and his face sank even more.

Yesterday's 1 taels of start-up capital and today's nearly 1 taels of bidding money have greatly increased his confidence in this business, and he firmly does not allow anyone to disrupt it.

"What's the matter?" Chang Xi caught Xie Ming's expression out of the corner of his eye and asked immediately.

Xie Ming said, "There are two strange people over there. I'll go and have a look. You can do things here first."

To avoid long nights and dreams, the contract must be signed today.

Chang Xi nodded, explaining that since she told him to deal with it, she would stop talking. If Jieming couldn't handle this matter, what's the use of him?
Only then did Xie Ming hurried to the door, but when he saw the two people coming towards him, he was stunned on the spot, oh my god, why did he attract these two people?

But at this moment, both of them saw him, and he couldn't allow him to turn around and remind Chang Xi, so he could only bite the bullet and smile and greet the two of them, "I've met Mr. Zhang." Then he turned to Yuan Hao Arched hands, "Brother Tailiang."

Mr. Zhang did not expect to see the nephew of the Xie family here. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be the eighth among the younger generation, so he smiled and said, "Nephew, you don't need to be polite. What are you doing here? It's so lively? "

The folding fan in Yuan Tailiang's hand shook twice. It was really a surprise to see Xie Laoba here, but then his eyes fell on Chang Xi who was chatting happily with the foreign devils in the main hall, his smile froze immediately, and the I also forgot to shake the folding fan.

Isn't she Xie Jin's pawn wife?
How come here?
