Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Another chance to get rich!?

Everyone immediately perked up, looking at Fang Zheng Yi.

However, those who had successfully bid seemed a little uninterested, after all, they had already been squeezed dry, and who knew how much more money they would have to spend later.

Fang Zheng looked towards the side of the stage not far away and said loudly, "Bring the things up!!"

A strong man started walking out from the side, carrying a loom.

Behind him followed two more strong men, carrying another uniquely shaped loom, except the other one seemed much heavier, and the two men were carrying it with great effort.

The two looms were placed side by side.

Looms? Everyone was full of doubts.

What's so special about this thing?

However, those in the business of cloth or running clothing stores immediately stood up, craning their necks and trying hard to size up the heavy loom.

A trace of shock flashed in their eyes.

Seeing their expressions, everyone dared not underestimate it and began to pay attention.

No one doubted the discernment of experts!

"Lord Fang! This loom looks extraordinary at first glance! How much is it?"

Fang Zheng smiled slightly: "Oh, everyone's eyesight is indeed extraordinary, seeing the difference between the looms on the stage at a glance."

"Then this official won't keep you in suspense, let me give you a brief introduction."

"The one on my left is the ordinary loom used in the market now, hand-cranked spinning, which can only spin one spindle at a time!"

"And the one on the right is amazing! It is the latest foot-operated five-spindle spinning wheel developed by the workshop in the manor!"

"What this means... I don't need to say more, right."

"Come here!" Fang Zheng shouted, and a maid immediately appeared, sitting on the spinning wheel and starting to spin.

The new loom used the repeated pedaling to quickly shuttle the bobbin back and forth in the loom.

The high efficiency made everyone stand up from their chairs excitedly, trying hard to see more clearly!

Although most people had nothing to do with the cloth industry, the efficiency of this thing in front of them was too scary!

It can spin five spindles at a time, and the speed is so fast! Wouldn't that be like one person doing the work of seven or eight people?

This was simply a huge shock to the entire industry!

With such efficient machines, how low would the cost be pulled down? Even starting a cloth business from scratch would allow one to be invincible!

Everyone was moved again! And everyone was convinced that they must bid for it!

Risk? There was no risk at all!

The spinning machine in front of them was indeed working, how could it be fake? As long as they got such a treasure, they could open up the market with ultra-low prices and gain a firm foothold one step ahead!

Sun Jiacheng's business also involved this industry!

He looked at Fang Zheng with red eyes and asked: "Lord Fang, how is this sold? How many are there, I want them all!"

As long as he bought one home and studied it thoroughly, he could copy it, but he must buy all of them to seize the opportunity!

Fang Zheng tapped it with a small hammer: "Everyone calm down! This official hasn't said the rules yet."

"The new spinning machine, each one starts at one thousand taels, a total of ten! Currently, only pre-orders are accepted, and delivery will be made in order within a month! Subsequent maintenance will also be the responsibility of the government!"

"Now, everyone, let's begin."

"Lord Fang! I offer twenty thousand taels, I want all ten!" Sun Jiacheng stood up, panting heavily.

Wang Qixun behind him opened his mouth wide, hesitated for a moment, and stood up and said: "I offer twenty-one thousand taels!"

"Wang Qixun, are you out of your mind!! You have to snatch everything from me!"

"I'm willing! I have money, is it any of your business! Lord Fang! No matter how much this Sun guy offers, I will always offer more... one penny!"

"I'll go to your mother's!"

"Hey! Don't fight, Lord Fang is still here..."

The people below were fighting, and Fang Zheng's face was very long.

Mistake... It seems that I still underestimated these old guys, they really have a lot of savings, I started too lightly!

This Wang Qixun just spent ten thousand taels, and he dared to offer more than twenty thousand to buy a loom, he really has money.

Fang Zheng frowned, picked up the small hammer and knocked it twice: "Enough! Don't fight anymore, if you want to fight, go to the theme room to fight!"

"The auction continues!"

The wealthy merchants who were originally fighting immediately returned to their seats and sat down, quietly waiting for Fang Zheng to speak.

"Starting price of one thousand taels, each increase is one hundred taels, now start....."

.........

After a fierce competition, ten spinning machines were all sold at an average price of three thousand taels, with an income of more than thirty thousand taels.

As for the cost, most of it was wood.

These looms were all made by Lao Qi himself, there was no cost to speak of, it was simply pure profit.

After two auctions, it can be said that the guests were happy, and those who did not get anything for nothing got a hundred catties of sweet potatoes, which can be said to be satisfied.

After everyone dispersed, Li Yuanzhao rubbed his stiff chin.

The fierce competition at the auction site really shocked him.

He couldn't imagine why these people were willing to be fooled by Fang Zheng so willingly.

Fang Zheng walked off the stage and sat next to Li Yuanzhao, letting out a long breath, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

This scene really consumed too much physical and mental strength.

On the one hand, he had to constantly observe everyone's reactions and adjust his strategy.

On the other hand, he had to constantly tease the emotions of the bidders.

This kind of work should be outsourced to someone else in the future.......

After he rested for a while, Li Yuanzhao said hesitantly: "Lao Fang... You cheated eighty thousand taels of silver in this moment?"

Fang Zheng's eyes widened: "What is Your Highness talking about, doing business can't be considered cheating... cooperation! ... The affairs of businessmen, can it be considered cheating?" Then there were incomprehensible words, such as "win-win cooperation", and "mutual benefit".

Li Yuanzhao was confused: "Aren't you afraid that those merchants will build the roads in a mess?"

Fang Zheng waved his hand: "What are you afraid of, maybe it will be chaotic for a while, but it won't always be chaotic."

"The so-called preventing the people's mouths is more important than preventing rivers, which is true for the imperial court, and also true for merchants."

"At first, they will want to fill the streets with advertisements, but the people will always be dissatisfied, and when the people are dissatisfied, competitors can take advantage of the situation."

"If you make it messy and affect your reputation, then I will make it simpler to attack you."

"The so-called market is the people's hearts, it will adjust according to the wishes of the people, it just needs to be given a little time."

"Besides, our top priority now is disaster relief, and other things are harmless."

"Your Highness, you will be busy next."

Li Yuanzhao's eyes lit up: "Can I finally do something useful?"

"Hehe, of course, but don't say you're tired."

"A large number of disaster victims outside the city will need your help to resettle them in the near future. I will find someone to assist you. Your Highness already has enough experience and ability to manage thousands of people."

"I don't know if you can handle the scale of tens of thousands of people now?"

Li Yuanzhao grinned and patted his chest: "Definitely! Don't worry!"

The book is not popular, brothers, give me some five-star praise, I kowtow to you, bang, bang, bang!
