Chapter 2444 Tea House Auction ([-])

Wu Nanhai nodded secretly: This group of old money is worthy of being smart people. Cheap daily necessities like matches seem to have meager profits, but the market potential is infinite.And the production of matches is the least difficult - Wu Nanhai doesn't know if they are aware of this.

The key raw materials for match production are chemicals and rod cutters that can only be produced by the Senate.From an unfavorable point of view, their so-called match factory is essentially an assembly plant; but think about it from another angle: the match factory only needs to turn on the machine to produce matchsticks, dip it in medicine and it's done.The requirements for workers, equipment, technology and workshops are all reduced to the minimum level.The production cycle is very short.As long as the equipment and raw materials are in place, mass production can be carried out immediately.

Sure enough, the Match Factory No. 5000 project fell into fierce bidding from the very beginning, and the price quickly soared from [-] yuan to [-] yuan.

Wu Yijun watched from the sidelines. Among them, the most enthusiastic about this project were the "second-class big households". In the past, they were not the first-class businessmen in Guangzhou City.

A few people he was interested in, such as Liang Chenlong and Huo Maixiong, did not raise their placards to bid.Liang Chenlong looked solemn, but Lao Huo looked at the auction with a relaxed expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.

It seems that this is not the project they fancy.Huo Maixiong may be interested in paper mills, but Liang Chenlong is hard to say...

In his mind, the No. [-] bid finally came under the hammer at [-] yuan.There was a buzz of discussion in the hall.The ones that were not photographed were gearing up, ready to win the bids on the [-]nd and [-]rd marks in one go.

Sure enough, the competition for the No. [-] and No. [-] bids of the Match Factory became more and more fierce.In the end, the bid for the second bid was [-] yuan, and the bid for the third bid was [-] yuan.In the end, all three bids were taken successively.However, as Wu Yijun observed, none of them belonged to the "top-tier households".Including the high bid to sign up to participate in this bidding meeting -- there is no bidding movement.

Could it be that they also took a fancy to the textile factory?This made Wu Yijun a little nervous.The bidding price of the textile factory was the highest among all the projects, and the bidding fee alone was as high as [-].

If no one is competing with him, it is naturally best to win it directly at the reserve price.But he was also prepared: the highest plan was to spend [-] yuan to get this project, and if it was higher, he would not be able to catch it—after all, it would cost a lot of money to run it.

Next came another hot item: the soda cold drink factory.

The project bid was 1 yuan, and He Fanghui raised it to [-] yuan within a few minutes after the bid was opened.Soft drinks and cold drinks have always been a luxury enjoyed only in Ziminglou in the past. Whether it is "Kvass" with a special aroma or colorful, sweet and sour fruity marble soda in glass bottles, you It was transported thousands of miles from Lingao, and only relatively cheap juice shaved ice and popsicles of various flavors were produced locally in Guangzhou.

Although the prices of kvass and marble soda are high in Guangzhou, businessmen who are familiar with the situation in Lingao know that the high price of soda in Guangzhou comes from the distance.If they were produced in Guangzhou, they would be as cheap as in Lingao.

In this hot climate, it is a great enjoyment to have a bottle of cool and sweet soft drink to quench your thirst in summer.As long as the price is in place, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell well.What's more, this soda cold drink factory is equipped with "ice making" equipment.Even if soda and cold drinks don't make a penny, just selling ice cubes every summer is a big business.In the past, Zichengji would import ice cubes from Lingao for sale every summer—isn’t that just paying back the money with water? !
The "biggest households" began to join the transaction at this time, and because of their joining, the battle situation escalated immediately, and within a few minutes it rose to [-] yuan, and was finally won by a silk merchant at a price of [-] yuan.

Wu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that this guy would compete with him for the cotton spinning factory project. Now that he has won the soda cold drink factory, he should no longer compete with him in cotton spinning.

The next project went cold: a paper mill.The business of papermaking is bitter and tiring.When soaking raw materials, it is freezing cold in winter and smells bad in summer, but the price of this factory is not low, it costs 8000 yuan.Once the bid was opened, only Huo Maixiong bid.He Fang answered three questions and no one added anything, so the paper mill project belonged to Huo Maixiong.

"This old Huo never forgets his old profession." Wu Yijun thought to himself.

In the subsequent bidding auction, Wu Yijun was most worried about competing with him, so he bought the "building materials factory".The bid was as high as 5000 yuan.And what is produced is the crude stuff of building: bricks, lime, plaster, and the like.Originally, no one was optimistic about it, so Gaoju won it at the reserve price.Wu Yijun felt that this somewhat meant to cheer up the Australians.

Shen's father and son won the enamel factory project at a price of 2000 yuan.Wu Yijun also got his wish and won the cotton textile factory project at the reserve price.However, Liang Chenlong photographed a project that no one could have imagined: a garment factory.

These days, except for the Australians and their naturalized people, very few people wear ready-made clothes.Therefore, the big players are skeptical about how much business a garment factory that can only do business with Australians can do.Moreover, the bidding price of this garment factory was surprisingly high, it was [-].Liang Chenlong also won the project at the reserve price.

It seems that I will have to deal with the Liang family often in the future.Wu Yijun thought to himself.He was greeted by the waiter and came to the table beside him.There are clerks here to handle relevant procedures on the spot.He took out Delong's checkbook and wrote a check for 2 yuan on the spot.When he wrote "twenty thousand yuan" in capital letters on the check, his writing brush trembled slightly. This was the largest payment he had ever handled in his life.Not only does it carry his entire wealth and life, but it also includes his credit.

In the end, 35 projects were successfully auctioned except for two unsold projects.Wu Nanhai was a little nervous at first - this matter was pushed by him, if the final result was not satisfactory, wouldn't it be a great loss of face.The result, while not a huge success, was "well done."He had seen all the transfer proceeds: a total of [-] yuan.Although this money is not "pure profit", investing this money in related equipment manufacturing can produce joint benefits. As for the investment after the project is implemented, it will snowball to generate benefits.

Just let the silver flow, and one silver dollar can become ten.Generate more products, more taxes and more jobs.Thinking of this, Wu Nanhai was excited and happy, and immediately ordered someone to bring the "apple sparkling wine" specially for the elders, and he held up the tall glass filled with sparkling wine
"Everyone, let's make a toast to our future industrial plans!"

Everyone responded loudly: "Do it!"

After drinking the celebratory wine, Wu Nanhai and He Fanghui left the stage, letting the big players "have fun".Gao Ju wanted to win over, so he asked everyone in the waiter to give a refreshment set.

"Now we are all enterprises under the Senate, and everyone should take care of each other." Holding up the teacup, "I will replace wine with tea here. I wish everyone a wealth of money!"

The big households who won the auction looked a lot more relaxed at the moment, talking and laughing while drinking tea.The tense atmosphere in the teahouse was swept away.It seemed that the atmosphere that had been somewhat suspicious had become intimate -- they were all "people on the same boat" now.

The few who didn't get the project photographed rushed around Gao Ju, asking when new projects would come out.He held it high and said, "There are still two other projects, and you look down on them. It will take at least a year or two to wait."

"These two projects are really too expensive, and it's hard to say whether they can make money." Inevitably, there were some complaints and "last resort" rhetoric.Wu Yijun watched these people's performances, and felt quite proud. After all, aren't you just being hesitant about spending money? !In the final analysis, to make money, one must be courageous, and the other is to see the timing.There is no hesitation.

With a good feeling of being "wise and decisive", Wu Yijun returned home and immediately called his confidant:
"Go to Dong's house and tell him that the matter is over. Ask him to come and discuss the matter when he is free these few days."

After sending away the boy to deliver the letter, he called the housekeeper again and ordered:

"If people from the Federation of Industry and Commerce or Australians come to deliver a letter in the past few days, no matter when and where I am, I must report it immediately!"

According to Gao Ju at the auction, in the next few days, naturalized civilian cadres and even veterans will come to discuss specific implementation steps with him.Wu Yijun has heard that Australians have always been known for their swiftness and swiftness in handling affairs. Once it is implemented, it is necessary to enter into specific matters such as buying land and building houses, and the next step is to spend money like water.

The Dong family gave him 3 yuan, although the old lady of the Dong family had clearly told him that the money was at his sole disposal and the family would not participate in the operation.But Wu Yijun felt that for the sake of prudence, Dong Jizhong should be informed of important matters.

He was pacing in the study, thinking about the operation of the cotton textile factory, when Chen Yu suddenly came in.

"Master!" he reported, "Master Ding has found it!"

"Oh?" Wu Yijun lifted his spirits, thinking that this is really God helping me!Immediately asked, "Where is the other person?"

"Master Ding is sick now, and he is staying in the temple. The situation is very bad..."

"What's going on?" Wu Yijun frowned, "Did you call a doctor for him?"

"Master," Chen Yu took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Master Ding seems to have been murdered by someone, and I didn't dare to make trouble, so I hurried back to report to Master."

"What's going on, let's make it clear!" Wu Yijun knew that there must be something wrong here, and Chen Yu would come back to report if he couldn't figure it out.
