Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 118 West Market Auction
Li Yuan had already made an engagement, and the queen introduced that the person in Yuci's engagement was a girl from the Dou family.

The Dou family is a prominent family. The girl of the Dou family is named Dou Yuanshi, and her mother is Princess Xiangyang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When she was young, she was loved by her uncle Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was raised in the palace.

Because of this relationship, although the Dou family is a prominent family, their personal status is rather embarrassing, and they are opposite to the now unknown Tang Guogong Li Yuan.

Moreover, Li Yuan's brother died last year, and Dou Yuanshi's father died at the end of the year. Both of them were in mourning period, so it was not suitable to arrange the marriage, so they postponed it. However, the two of them had royal mediators, so the marriage was still a certainty. of.

The nephew Yang Guang mentioned just now is named Dou Yan, and his father is Dou Yuanshi's eldest brother. However, there is a big age gap between the two. Dou Yan is considered to be four years older than Dou Yuanshi, but he is similar in age to Li Yuan.

Yang Guang knew Dou Yan because of this auction. Dou Yan brought things to the auction.

It took so long for Yang Guang to reopen the auction. Because Yun Dingxing could no longer do it, he arranged for Nanxi to do it. Otherwise, Yun Dingxing still had certain abilities. From preparation to invitation to hosting, there were many things involved. Although Nan Xi is a good host, she has to rely on her to do these things. She has no experience and a bad status. It takes a lot of work. Mother Bolan is also doing her best to help her.

Li Yuan had no choice but to put down what he was doing and follow Yang Guang to the auction. The current auction is still held at the old site in Chang'an City. This time, all the top nobles were invited, and the largest auction item was not a rare item. The treasure is not some exotic beast, but the Western Market of Daxing City.

The West Market auction is not selling land or building, but selling the right to operate the market.

Yang Guang divided the West Market into six major sections. Each section has different functions. Daily items and clothing occupy the largest area, followed by exotic goods from the Western Regions, etc. Because the West Market is a place for ordinary people, the prices of things are not the same. would be too high.

Yang Guang had previously considered whether to rent out all the properties by himself, but the efficiency of renting out rooms was too low, so he divided them into six major areas and first gathered a group of people with the largest business scope in the city. Small merchants will naturally come.

……

The market in Chang'an City is still full of life and bustling scenes. Just after the New Year, it is even more lively than usual. There are people on the road, like a huge dragon winding in the city center. The leaders are those busy people. Businessmen, Longwei are traders from all over.

The stalls selling various items are like rivers. They are intertwined and flow out a unique market atmosphere.Silk, jewelry, copperware, porcelain, these items are arranged like a variety of colors, shining with alluring light. Each item has its story, of course some may be false stories. This is life, This is the market.

Yang Guang did not bring Xiao Menglan here today. After all, Nanxi is here. Letting Xiao Menglan come is just to make himself unhappy. Although he has nothing to do with Nanxi, there are always some rumors outside.

Yuwenshu and his son had been waiting here early. Yuwenshu must have won a block in the West City. If Yang Guang hadn't stipulated that one person could only have one block, he wanted to win them all. He knew that now the The price is definitely low. You can make 100% money by getting involved now. There is no reason to lose money by following Yang Guang.

There is a young and handsome young master beside Yu Wenshu. He is not tall. He is a whole head shorter than Yu Wenyu and is also shorter than Li Yuan. This is Dou Yan.

Dou Yan had a smile on his face and greeted Li Yuan warmly: "Tang Guogong."

"Mr. Dou, nice to meet you."

Yu Wenhuaji said beside him: "Shouldn't you call Duke Tang Guo uncle?"

"Brother Yuwen, we haven't gotten married yet, so we can't be rude."

"Tang Guogong is always the safest in doing things."

Li Yuan and Yu Wenhuaji started chatting. Yang Guang waved his hand and everyone entered the venue.

After a period of decoration, this auction venue is much higher-end than the previous one. The items on display are also covered with glass, allowing close contact and protection, giving onlookers a better opportunity to observe.

Yang Guang sat down in the VIP room on the second floor. At this time, a group of dancers were dancing on the stage. The music was wafting and the listeners felt peaceful. I have to say that this trick is useful for any dignitary and makes money. I can't enjoy it anymore.

The girl from Nanxi walked in. She was wearing a long red dress today, which was extremely gorgeous. Although Yang Guang thought it would be better for her not to dress up so gorgeously, she still looked good dressed up like this.

Her beauty is like a sharp thorn, piercing straight into people's hearts. She is not reserved, without the shyness of Xiaojiabiyu, or the refusal of a woman in the boudoir.

She was blooming, blooming, and the eyes she looked at Yang Guang were like stars dotting the night sky, twinkling with urgency. There was endless mystery and poetry hidden in it, and love seemed to surge in, making it difficult for people to face her head-on.

Walking to Yang Guang's side, he smiled slowly: "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin."

The rose in full bloom had no thorns and bowed its head slightly, just the right amount of gentleness.

"Preparations for the auction are all done."

"Everything is ready, Your Highness."

"Well, let's go."

After a brief conversation, it seemed that they were not familiar with each other. The Nanxi girl picked up the teapot and poured tea for Yang Guang before exiting the room.

Yu Wenhuaji then said: "Your Highness, that Nanxi girl has a deep love for you. At that time, Your Highness jumped into the river to save people, and it is still widely circulated now."

Don't pass it on again.

Yang Guang was helpless. There really wasn't any real news these days. His trivial story could be spread for so long. He thought that he should publish the news paper as soon as possible so that they could have something to talk about and talk about other people's gossip, so as not to keep talking about it. Come on me.

With this idea in mind, Yang Guang heard the sound, and Nan Xi came on stage below. Fiery red roses were blooming on the stage. Nan Xi always glanced at Yang Guang from time to time when he spoke.

Dou Yan came to Yang Guang and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, I also want to take a picture of a block. I wonder if it is possible..."

"It's an open operation. There's no way to fake it. We can only auction it." Dou Yan had to give up and came to Li Yuan's side: "Tang Guogong, I don't know if I can win this auction. You are familiar with His Highness the King of Jin. Can you help me? .”

"This is indeed not possible. Your Highness has His Highness's rules for doing things, and they cannot be broken. Since today is a public auction, it must be done openly and openly, and no secret operations are allowed."

"You are my uncle."

"You can't even call me uncle. Your Highness's rules are always rules and cannot be broken."

Dou Yan had no choice but to meet a stubborn uncle.

When the auction begins, the first things to be auctioned are of course some fun things, such as precious antique porcelain. The prices of these things have risen well recently. The Sui Dynasty is now becoming more and more stable, so these things will naturally rise.

Nan Xi stretched out her slender hand, picked up the small hammer, and slapped the item, which was a deal.

At the end of the auction, Daxing City's West Market plan was pushed up. The upright plan was a full square meter in size and was made up of multiple pieces of parchment. The future plan of the West City was clearly drawn on it.

The Nanxi girl clapped her hands gently and smiled like a flower: "Dear nobles present, this is the planning map of the West City of Daxing City. The wise, handsome and lovely His Highness Prince Jin has divided it into six areas."

"Clothing, food, shelter, transportation, rare goods from the Western Regions, and tooth travel."

"This auction is for the five-year operation rights of the West City area. You don't need to build a house. His Highness King Jin has already built it for you. All you need to do is move in. As for how many other people you can sublease to, or if you have the ability to do it alone It’s okay to just make money from operating expenses by running the business.”

"First of all, everyone, this is the first area to be auctioned. It means the construction of houses in Daxing City in the future and the commercial houses for property market transactions. This place is different from other places. In this area, His Highness the King of Jin will build two eight-story buildings. It is a high-rise building that uses the latest cement and glass technology. No matter where you are in the surrounding area, you can see this place at a glance."

The eight-story high-rise buildings of this era were a spectacle. This was the prototype of the office building.

"Although the floor area is smaller among several blocks, when it comes to building transactions and construction and decoration, they are all money-making businesses. I believe you are interested in this. Without further ado, five-year operating rights and follow-up Priority to renew the contract, the starting price is [-] guan, and each increase in price shall not be less than [-] guan, starting now."

"Forty-five thousand strings."

"Forty-eight thousand strings."

"Fifty thousand."

……

The bids came one after another, and Dou Yan was a little helpless: "Why are the prices so high? The starting price is already this price. When the bidding is successful, I don't know what the sky-high price will be."

Li Yuan comforted him: "Your family has never been involved in the real estate business, so it doesn't matter."

"There are many garment shops in the mulberry field at home. Although I don't care about anything, I was arranged to come here today and I have to give it a try. Generally speaking, food, clothing, housing and transportation are items that we have to touch every day. Officials' honorary robes are even more exquisite. This project must be There are many competitors, and I’m afraid that I don’t have enough money.”

"The Duke of Bao, Yu Wenshu, is nearby. If it doesn't work, just borrow it first. He has a lot of money. No one can compete with him in the dental industry."

"Will he lend it to me?"

"I'll talk to him."

My little nephew still has to help as much as he can.

Just when Dou Yan looked gratefully at Li Yuan, Li Yuan suddenly raised his hand: "Eighty thousand strings."

Dou Yan looked at Li Yuan in confusion: "Why do you have so much money?"

"The money paid by His Highness."

The real estate trading center in West Market was built purely for the Construction Bureau, otherwise it would be useless to spend so much time on it.

"Ah? The money His Highness gave you? Wasn't it His Highness who put this place up for auction?"

Looking at Dou Yan who looked puzzled, Li Yuan had no choice but to explain: "Since it was agreed that it would be an auction, it must be auctioned openly. Doesn't it become a fraud if it is done secretly?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand: "Eighty-eight thousand strings."

"But you used His Highness's money to buy the land that His Highness put up for auction. The money returned to His Highness's hands, and you still got the land. Isn't this equivalent to not spending any money?"

"Ninety-five thousand strings."

"It's not accurate. Although I used His Highness's money to buy His Highness's land, and the money returned to His Highness's hands, it is indeed equivalent to not spending any money, but it means not spending any money. Your Highness's rule is Such."

"One hundred thousand."

On this day, Dou Yan finally understood what real public sales meant.
