Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 100 The Second Uncle's Scheme
As soon as the notice came out, many big businessmen came to the pier to see the condition of the wharf in person. They saw the unified standard wharf, the flat cargo yard, the supporting houses and warehouses in a line, and each wharf was equipped with a soil crane for loading and unloading the ship. goods.

Grandpa and grandma heard everyone talking about the prospects of the wharf. They heard that even the houses and cargo ships are complete sets. If you buy them, you will even have food and shelter ready-made.They knew that this was a good opportunity to make a lot of money, so they quickly contacted the second uncle.

The second uncle was moved by the news, came over to have a look, met many big merchants who were interested in buying the pier, and learned more detailed information about the pier.But the high rental fee first blocked the second uncle who was very optimistic about the terminal and wanted to buy one or two at a low price.

Grandpa and grandma eat other people's mouths and take others' hands short. When the second uncle asked Jin Yan Liutao to give him a discount, grandpa and grandma patted their chests and assured them that they dared not guarantee two at a low price, and kept one with their hands.

Regarding the request from their grandparents, the two people who made the price-raising sign ignored them, but gave them a price-raising sign and told them: "If the second uncle wants to get the wharf, he must first pay a deposit of 1000 taels of silver, and then he will be with others. Raise the placard to bid, the highest bid wins!"

"That's your second uncle. After he married the eldest girl, he separated from the eldest son and lived in another family. He was quite rich, but once he separated, it would be much worse. Can't you give him a [-]% discount? "

Liu Tao replied: "If he had contributed to the purchase of Prince Gan's Mansion by brother Jin Yang and I, even if we didn't buy it with his help, we would have given him a discount, that is, we would have given him a place for nothing. Possibly! Now, it won’t work, let him be mentally prepared to prepare more bank notes, after a round of bidding, it will be very cruel.”

Jin Lian added: "You have to tell them that when asking the price, it depends on your own ability. If the quoted price is inflated and you can't pay that much, the 1000 tael deposit will not be refunded!"

"What, if people don't buy it, they won't refund their money. What's the difference between this and bullying the market?"

"Grandma, if it's ten taels of silver, everyone wants to sell it, but you shout for 20 taels, and you don't buy it after everyone has left. Tell me, is this bullying the market or playing a rogue?"

"Then your eldest brother Jinsha is free, so can't you give one to your grandfather? Your grandfather rented the pier to eat and drink, so you don't have to worry about it."

When Liu Tao heard this, she became angry: "Grandma, are you worried about eating and drinking now? When did my parents prepare food and clothing for you in advance?"

Jin Yan, who was beside him, also became more and more angry: "My brother has two daughters-in-law and a grandmother who needs to support him. Grandpa only has you as his wife. Go and ask grandpa to find one or two young daughters-in-law. If you find one, I will give it to you for nothing." One of you (the pier)."

The grandma rolled her eyes in anger, and the grandfather's face was flushed by the words: "Yeah, what are you talking about, kid?"

The bidding will be held as scheduled. Whenever a merchant pays 1000 taels of silver, he can get a price tag. Apart from the four piers used by Jinfu and the ones for Jinsha, there are still eleven piers that can be leased by bidding. To the news, more than 60 merchants came to bid.After Liu Guangjun explained to them the rules of starting the auction, they all agreed. What Liu Guangjun mainly said was that if you call out a falsely high price and cannot pay immediately, you must keep a deposit. The price tag of the previous bidder was 200 taels.

The second uncle thought that he won the No. [-] card, so he didn't have to pay a deposit. Ma Jinqiang saw that his brand was not fake, so he let him in without asking him for a deposit.However, before the bidding started, the other bidders shouted one after another.

The bidding for the first pier started from the westernmost pier. The starting price was 6000 taels, and finally the owner of Juxin Guangshang settled the deal at 640 taels.The second uncle has [-] silver bills in his hand. Seeing that the first wave of outcry prices did not increase much, the second wave of outcry prices may have to be lowered. The consideration is to wait and see.

The second and third places are both next to the first place, and they were both sold for 800 taels of silver. They were bought by a wealthy owner called Hongtai Qianzhuang.When they arrived at the fourth pier, the bidders became anxious, and they shouted for 7000 taels before the deal was completed.

Sweat dripped from the second uncle's forehead immediately. He thought that if he didn't call high prices, he would miss the pier. At the fifth pier, he successfully won it after calling a high price of 400 taels.

At the sixth place, it was also sold for 400 taels, and Mr. Xu's capital warehouse manager got it.The price in the seventh place and the eighth place has risen again, reaching 800 taels.

At the ninth place, there are another 800 taels. You can see that there are two more places behind. If you don’t save money, there is really no hope. At the tenth place, the big owner of No.11, which is all Sihaida, shouted 9000 taels. .Although he bought two places at a high price of 8000 taels, he still greeted all his colleagues with a smile, and some asked if it was worth spending so much money to buy a one-year rental fee.

Who knew that he laughed loudly and said: "The capital here is directly connected to the south, and radiates to the southwest and the East China Sea. It can be said that it is a distribution center for goods all over the world. Can you buy one place for only 9000 taels of silver? It's worth it!"

With his exaggeration, some people have discovered their own shortcomings, which is the reason why they have been in business for many years and have not been able to get rich. It turns out that their vision is much short-sighted compared to others.

Some people are so poor in financial resources, if they bid 400 taels before bidding for the fifth place, or even less, they might win it, but because they waited and watched for a while, they didn’t bid in time and regretted their lives alone. I was sullen, and later I got the auction, but it took a lot more than the first three places, and I felt a little regretful about my indecision, but they still lined up to hand in the money.

When it was the second uncle's turn, he said, "I didn't bring so many bank notes, we'll go get them now." Sa Yazi went to Jinfu to find Liu Tao's grandparents.

Liu Guangjun stopped him and said, "We can only wait for you for two quarters of an hour. Once the two quarters of an hour pass, if you can't get out the bank note, the 1000 taels of silver will be voided and confiscated!" The second uncle ignored him and went in directly. Golden House.

When I saw my grandparents, I complained that Jin Yanliu Tao's six relatives didn't recognize him and fell into the eyes of money. A pier dared to ask him for 400 taels, and he lost 1000 taels for not paying the deposit. I begged the old couple to communicate with the two of them. Of course it would be great if the price could be lowered.

"It's okay, let's not say we won't give him the money, is it okay to owe him a period of time on credit? You don't need to come forward, let's talk about it as an old couple, we still have some face!" The second uncle thanked them a thousand times , just waiting for the good news to come.

When they went to the bidding arena, the two of them knew what was going on as soon as they saw them. They had already let Liu Guangjun check it out just now, which proved that the second uncle did not pay the deposit. Now they look at the merchants who are bidding They were all staring at this unsold pier, and when the quarter of an hour arrived, they immediately decided to re-auction the fifth pier.

Grandpa and grandma cried and shouted to stop them, but Ma Jinqiang and Jin Wei under Liu Guangjun came over, pushed and shoved them away, explaining: "Rules are rules, and no one can wantonly break them. The security deposit is a big bargain, and if you change to someone else, you will lose another 1000 taels of silver."

The second uncle was still complaining to Jin Yang's parents in the Jin Mansion, and the grandparents came back dejected.Before they left, the fifth pier was auctioned off at a price of 400 taels, completely cutting off their hopes.

They signed new contracts for the shopkeepers of each sub-dock. Although it is now November 29, 29 Fuzong, they wrote the delivery date of the dock on December [-], [-] Fuzong. Give it away, the whole discount is a big reward.

In fact, it’s not that the second uncle’s family can’t afford 8000 taels of silver. The main reason is that the division of the family has diluted the family property. The eldest son took away the warehouse and a workshop plus 5000 taels of silver, and the married girl took away a workshop and With 5000 taels of cash, he had 7000 taels of silver left plus the yard he lived in. He wanted to use it first to fool a pier. Once the pier made money, he could still repay the loan.

It's a pity, just like how he described Liu Taojin's six relatives who didn't recognize her, they really went too far.Later, my grandparents saw that the matter was irreversible, so they thought of another trick and gave him advice.

Jinsha got a pier for nothing, and Jin Li once promised him that he would pay half of the money if he could run the business. The two sister-in-laws just secretly scolded Jin Li for being a stingy man. Fifteen piers still care about this little profit.Thinking about the business well every year, even if half of the gold calamity is gone, there will still be an income of 2000 taels of silver, and I feel relieved.

Jin Li told them in advance: "The No. [-] pier is for you. After you take it over, we will ignore the business and management matters. I will also pay the tax for you. If you pay back in the future If you have any other questions related to money, you have to answer it yourself!"

When Jin Li came up with an idea to let them set up a stall to sell goods to increase their income, Jin Sha disagreed.Both Liu Jiaojiao and Xiu'e are beautiful, how can the women of their own family show them off to other stinky men?

The two of them saw that Jinsha valued themselves, and they were also very happy. They were not very diligent in the first place, and Xiu'e was fine. Liu Jiaojiao was the master who would not help when the oil bottle was poured. In the past, it was hard to cook marinated fish and shrimp The scalp is dry, and besides, Grandma Jinsha doesn't agree if she doesn't work, and she can agree with it now that she doesn't have to work anymore.
