Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 606
Next, it is one of the highlights of tonight, the trade with Oros, the time limit is three years.

The deposit is 20 yuan, the starting price is 60 yuan, and an increase of 1 taels is raised once the sign is raised.

Yidu stood on the stage and announced this, but it was not as lively as before.

Cao Yong and Brother Sixteen were no longer in their seats, but in a quiet corner on the west side, looking at the stinky players on the field.

Zhao Feng, the eunuch of Elder Sixteen, saw Elder Sixteen being in trouble, couldn't help but slapped himself, and said with a mournful face: "Master, you are all slaves, if you just follow behind me honestly, Guo Xi'er will not It’s good to be a slave.”

Brother Sixteen waved his hand and said: "It's not what you want to do. As long as he wants to send a message to me and Cao Yong, even if he doesn't need Guo Xi'er to look for you, he can find other reasons. It's okay, don't cry with the master, There is nowhere to cool off and rest."

When Zhao Feng heard the words, he knew that his master was going to talk to Cao Yong, so he leaned over and retreated.

Brother Sixteen patted his forehead, turned his head to look at Cao Yong, and asked, "Fu Ruo, what should I do?"

Cao Yong was relieved, but fortunately it was wine, not tea, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

It was Cui Fei, the steward of Prince Jian's mansion, who came out at the "donation table" and stopped Zhao Feng, the eunuch of Brother Sixteen, and asked him to give Cao Yong a few words.

It's nothing more than that, as a servant of the royal family, he was promoted by his master, and he wanted to repay him, so he asked Cao's son-in-law to fulfill him.He also proposed that the person who sits at the top of the bidding table is the manager of his business.

On the number one seat, sat an unremarkable merchant. He looked unremarkable and was not well known to the world.

Without Cui Fei's post, Cao Yong and Brother Sixteen would never have imagined that this fat man with a Henan accent is from Prince Jian's residence.

Now this post, the so-called "fulfillment", is nothing more than asking Cao Yong to raise his hand and leave him the share of wine sales outside the mouth.

Although the drinks that go out of the customs are more profitable than those brought by the Eros trade and the Sino-Mongolian tea ceremony, they are also a big bidding.

The deposit is 18, and the starting price is [-].

The reason why Cui Fei posted the post was probably because he had seen the battle ahead and had no idea about holding this sign.Otherwise, he wouldn't have hurriedly sent Zhao Feng a message.

Prince Jane is famous for vengeance, no matter whether Cui Feijing has not been instructed by him, since he raised his brand, if Cao Yong hadn't given face, the resentment would be settled.

Moreover, he can make people the first to come to the House of Internal Affairs to sign up, which also helps Cao Yongzhi.

"Fair, just, and open" is bullshit.

From the very first day when the bidding was put forward, Cao Yong knew that it was inevitable that something like this would happen today.

But it was just the beginning, everyone was undecided, and many people were puppets, waiting for the masters behind the scenes to speak.

Those who wanted to embarrass Cao Yong, and those who were not familiar with the regulations and wanted to watch the excitement, made this time no one directly approached Cao Yong to seek cheating.

Before Cao Yong, he wondered if he had underestimated human nature.

"What can we do? It's not important for Cui Fei, but his master is not easy to offend. Since he said to 'fulfill', he can only find ways to follow suit." Cao Yong thought for a while.

"Ah?" Elder Sixteen heard the words, worried and surprised, "How can this be? There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After all this commotion, I don't know how many people are waiting to grab your pigtails." If you really dare to do anything in the bidding process, although you don’t need to offend Yarjan, you will go to sea if you offend other people.”

It is not easy to cheat blatantly.

Cao Yong sighed in his heart, he was not experienced enough in the end.

After this bidding process, there were many mistakes.

Before his eyes swept to the prince's seat, Cao Yong was attracted by the blue and white porcelain tureen over there.

In order to entertain this group of distinguished guests, the tea sets served this time are all first-class in-house creations.

Cao Yong thought for a while, and whispered a few words with Brother Sixteen.

Elder Sixteen heard the words, went to worry, said with a smile: "Okay, it's hard for you, if you can still think of this, then I'll take another stroll on the stage."

While talking, the two quietly returned to their seats.

Zhao Feng was already waiting at the seat here, and Elder Sixteen gave instructions in a low voice.

Elder Seventeen turned around and said to Cao Yong, "Where did this go? The stage is bustling, and the asking price has already reached 93."

Because Ma Qi and He Yi followed Elder Seventeen's words and looked over, Cao Yong couldn't tell the truth, so he responded casually, "It's Lord Sixteen who has two instructions, and Lord Seventeen will know in a while."

Elder Brother Seventeen is a smart man. Seeing Cao Yong being so vague, he knew it was not good for people to ask questions. He laughed and said: "I really didn't expect that these guys who don't look like mountains and don't show water are actually They are so rich. One time they raise the sign, it is Prince Heshuo’s salary for one year, but they don’t even blink their eyes.”

Cao Yong nodded and said: "Without agriculture, there is no stability, without work, there is no wealth, and without business, there is no life. Most of the people in the seats over there are leaders in industry and commerce, and they seem to have accumulated a lot of wealth."

Elder Seventeen heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that if you think about it well, you should recruit two disciples who can do business."

Cao Yong heard the words, but his heart moved.

Iduri's slightly hoarse voice came from the stage, and someone had already raised it to 110 million.

Cao Yong, Brother Seventeen and others all looked towards the auction booth. There were three people holding up their signs one after another, and the one with the highest arm was Rizhao Wang Lusheng.

The remaining two are Yangzhou Cheng Mengkun, a middle-aged man with a somewhat fierce look.

In the end, it was the Cheng family's wealth, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people. In the end, they won the trading right of Eros with 1206 million taels.

Although Wang Lusheng was annoyed, Cao Yong was only grateful for him.

Among the three major bids, the Eros Trade was originally the one with the lowest starting price and the lowest expected bidding price.However, because of Cui Fei's words, Cao Yong changed his mind, and this Eros trade right is likely to become the highest item in the auction price.

The Wang family has some roots in Shandong, but it is nothing in the capital.

If you really monopolize this deal, it may not be a blessing.

Yi Du stood on the stage, making the final decision, with a smile on his sweaty face, but a bit miserable in his heart.

The venue is huge, and speaking is like shouting.

After half an hour, he couldn't stand it anymore, and felt his throat was burning.

For the next item, Yi Duli looked at the auction item brochure in his hand, and before he could speak, he saw Elder Sixteen striding forward and onto the stage.

"Master Yi has worked hard, please take a break for a while, and let Elder Brother Ben say a few words." Elder Sixteen's attitude was very kind.

Yi Duli felt as if he had been pardoned, if he hadn't been under the watchful eyes of everyone, he might have burst into tears.

Yi Du stood down, Elder Sixteen looked at the auction booth, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to be so enthusiastic, and you must have patriotism. These few transactions are either for the vassal department or for other countries. It is an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty. In order to repay your patriotism, after discussing with General Manager Cao, I decided to jointly petition the emperor: when trading with Mongolia, Oros, and Nanyang goods, the three merchants are allowed to sell domestic products. Utensils, as for which categories are included, it still needs to be determined by the emperor."

In a word, it almost didn't make the 250 people in the bidding booth boil up.

There was already a lot of discussion, if he hadn't been dazzled by the news, and remembered that there were many princes and princes Baylor sitting in this room, someone would have protested loudly.

Why didn't you say it earlier, if you said it earlier, how could Cheng Mengkun easily take away all the Eros trade.

Cheng Mengkun got this unexpected joy, but he didn't show it on his face, and looked at the stage indifferently.

The reason why he didn't leave any silver and fought for the Zhongmeng Tea Ceremony was because he knew that the Fan family and the Wang family of Shanxi merchants were in the auction.

Both of them are outside the line.

The Wang family is still in its infancy, but the Fan family is one of the best among Shanxi merchants.

Although it is not as long as the Cheng family's prosperity, the family's wealth should not be underestimated.

Cheng Mengkun was afraid that he would lose both in the fight with the Fan family, so he avoided the Sino-Mongolian tea ceremony.

As for the Nanyang trade, the Fang family from Fujian, the Pan family from Guangzhou, and the Wang family from Rizhao were among those who came. These families are all involved in the Nanyang trade, and all of them are backed by the dignitaries of the capital.

Cheng Mengkun came here to make money, not to offend anyone, so he should avoid it.

Among the three major biddings, only the people involved in the Oros trade, the previous scale was not large, and it was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, a big pie fell on top of his head;
Many people looked at Cheng Mengkun like a knife.

Although everyone knows that there are still two commercial roads that have not been auctioned, and the profit is greater than that of Eros, but they also know that the price may double again.

Who let this time add the greedy bait of the built-in vessel.

Even if there are no other fine items, as long as one can obtain the export trading rights of official kiln blue and white porcelain, the profits in it will already be considerable.

Many people have already made up their minds, no matter what, they want to photograph the business.Even if the money is not enough, don't be afraid. Those who have been in business for several lifetimes, whoever has no relatives and old friends, there is always a place where they can raise money.

On the stage, Elder Sixteen had already gone down, and Yi Duli, the host of the bidding venue, re-entered the stage.

The sweat had gone off his face, he looked much refreshed, cleared his throat, and said, "The next item is one major item, and two minor items..."

What an accident, and then another.

The bidding this time is for the trade volume of Nanyang, but it is different from the Oros trade just now.

It was a full auction just now, but now it is zero auctions, one for [-]% of the total trade volume, and one for the remaining [-]%.As for the general category of the two goods, and various configurations, most of them are based on this configuration.

The two companies must coordinate and communicate on the price of goods, and must not disrupt the market arbitrarily, otherwise they will be disqualified.

The first bid was for 45% of the trade volume, and the asking price was [-].

The price is [-]% or three times of the previous margin, which has not increased, but it has changed from one business to two businesses, and the profit will be divided up a lot.

Cheng Mengkun had nothing on his face, but he didn't know whether it was surprise or joy in his heart.

It really took advantage of the sky, but I don't know if Cao Yong has the heart to take care of him?
Cheng Mengkun thought that he had just seen Elder Sixteen talking to Cao Yong, and always felt that it was a temporary idea to divide into auctions.

Some people have already taken the courage to ask loudly, why not make a whole shoot, and everyone is not without money.

Yi Duli was already prepared, and replied in a loud voice: "Although you are doing business, you are representing the face of the imperial court. If it is exclusive, and no one is watching, it is a shame to do things that will harm the country and the people! The two families don’t need to worry about this anymore.”

Yidu put on a straight face, with a bit of dignity, and with these loud words, even if there was dissatisfaction in his stomach, he didn't dare to say anything.

Cao Yong didn't look at Yiduli's bidding, but looked down at the bidding sequence diagram.

Starting from the Nanyang trade, large projects and mid-range projects are all divided into four or six.

Although it is not the full share, the Nanyang trade volume still attracts many people's itch.Although it is Nanyang, in fact, the goods that go through the Guangzhou port are not only Nanyang, but also Eastern and Western.

Domestic ceramics have always been the most popular among foreigners.

That is, the porcelain from folk kilns can be sold at a gold price when it is shipped overseas; if it is replaced by official kilns, the profit has doubled again.

Moreover, this porcelain is shipped by sea, which is much cheaper than the land route between the Sino-Mongolian tea ceremony and the Oros trade.

The representative of the Pan family in Guangzhou, Thirteen Foreign Firms, this person is Pan Xuemin, the son of the Pan family, one of Wei Xin's friends in Guangzhou.According to the news, the reliance behind their family was originally Shuncheng Palace.

After Mububa was taken away, it is not known whether they took refuge in the new county king or in another family.

The Fang family in Fujian, a well-known maritime merchant, has inextricably linked with the eighth and ninth elder brothers.

When the sun shines on the Wang family, it is Wang Lusheng.

When Yidu stood on the stage and shouted out 100 million, those who were still holding up the sign were the above three people.

When it reached 140 million, only Wang Lusheng and the Fang family were left.

Cao Yong looked here, quite surprised.

Could it be that Wang Lusheng was so obsessed with money that he began to overestimate his abilities?
Just now, when Eros raised his trade volume placard, he was no longer able to reach 120 million, but now he is shouting 140 million, without any fuss on his face. What is the reason?
Thinking to himself, Cao Yong couldn't help but look over there a few more times, just in time to see someone leaning over quietly and nodding to Wang Lusheng.

"140 million, 140 million, 140 million, 150 million... 150 times twice, 150 million twice, 150 million three times, winning the bid!" Yi Duli stared closely at the bidding area, watching the bidding In the explanation of the license plate.

The winning bidder was Wang Lusheng.

"Hehe, 150%... [-] million..." Brother Jiu laughed in a low voice, but Brother Ten who was listening to him just felt creepy, as if he could hear Brother Jiu grinding his teeth...

*
Cao Yong's eyes widened, and he recognized that the person sitting beside Wang Lusheng was Zheng Woxue dressed as a man.

Although Brother Thirteen had said several times that he wanted to show his tall female shopkeeper to the world, Cao Yong never thought that Zheng Woxue would really show up.

It's not that it discriminates against women, but now that ethics are respected, there are many restraints on women.

Today's scene is of an official nature. If a businesswoman shows up, something will inevitably happen.

After another round of fighting, the remaining 130% share of Nanyang Trading was also auctioned, at a high price of [-] million.

"It's 1000 million taels, Fu Ruo." Elder Sixteen looked at Cao Yong, but there was no joy on his face, and there was a bit of worry in his eyes: "In the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to be lazy anymore..."

Cao Yong nodded, feeling a little emptiness inexplicably in his heart.

Although when I saw the amount of the guarantee before the auction, I already knew that 1000 million taels of silver could be auctioned, but when I saw it, I still felt a little unbelievable.

Sure enough, it is the power of the whole country, it is convenient to collect money, and the three-year agreement is completed.

The spirit that had been tense for a long time suddenly relaxed.

Cao Yong couldn't help despising his own size, although he has always been stubborn, saying that he is not afraid of unsuccessful bidding, as long as there are interests to do the drive, businessmen will flock to it.But, in fact, being stubborn is just being stubborn, and he really has no idea in his heart.

At this point, no matter what happens next, today's bidding conference is considered a success.

I don't know if it was a loss of strength, or what, in the following Mongolian tea ceremony, the Fang family who had just lost in the Nanyang trade volume did not raise their cards again.

The two biddings for the Mongolian tea ceremony were contested among several Shanxi merchants. After 100 million yuan, there were only three major households holding signs.
The Fan family, the Wang family, and the Kang family compete with each other.

In the end, financial resources have the final say, and Fan Jia invested 190% of the trade volume at a price of [-] million taels.

The remaining Wang family and Kang family went on to kill the remaining [-]%, which was no easier than before.

Because the Wang family is a newcomer and lacks financial resources, those who are crushed by the Kang family are already ruined.

In the end, it was the Kang family who bought 150% of the tea ceremony share for [-] million yuan.
Sometimes, the silver is silver; sometimes, the silver is just a number, especially when the silver is someone else's silver.

Cao Yong sat under the stage, listening to Yi Duli yelling at the top of his voice, he was already bored.

The 250 merchants attending the meeting, the 250 spectators, and the officials from the six departments of Prince Baylor all had their own moods, and few people could stay out of it like Cao Yong.

Cao Yin and the seventh elder brother were not only happy for the victory of the bidding, but also proud of Cao Yong's ability, and like the sixteenth elder brother, they were worried.

"I won't be an old scalper in the future, will I?" Cao Yong felt hot eyes looking at himself, seemingly casually picked up the teacup, and looked ahead secretly through the tureen.

But it's not just one person, the fourth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and others all look at this.

With that kind of strong eyes, Cao Yong only felt his scalp go numb...

Tangquan Palace, where the royal driver is walking.

Kangxi was sitting in front of the window, holding a brush, but his arms were shaking non-stop.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." He bowed slightly as if he was about to cough out his lungs, and coughed endlessly.

Wei Zhu stood beside him, worried, but he didn't dare to say anything about the royal doctor.

It took a while before Kangxi stopped coughing and asked with narrowed eyes.

"If you go back to the emperor, it will be the first quarter of Shenchu ​​([-]:[-] p.m.)." Wei Zhu leaned over and replied.

"Shen Chu, noon... well, almost..." He said vaguely, his voice was inaudible.

Wei Zhu lowered her head, still waiting for Kangxi's order, but she didn't hear a voice for a long time.

After a while, I heard a slight snoring sound.

Wei Zhu raised her head and looked at Kangxi who was snoring beside the kang, feeling heavy in her heart.

Your Majesty, getting old...
