Chapter 102 The Twisted Mind
“…………”
silence!
The entire chamber was so quiet that no one offered.
What is this... what's going on?
Is there no one interested in a project with a profit of one million yuan?
Ying Zheng and others were a little confused!
The atmosphere here is completely different from the one next door just now. The difference is simply from heaven and underground.
The project of Guxian Great Wall next door just now had a total profit of only 600,000 gold. More than 200 merchants competed to compete, and finally lowered the total price of the project to a normal cost price, and here...
The Qinling Project, which costs a total of 2 million gold, had a profit of 1 million gold. None of these dozen merchants offered it. This... is a damn thing!
Li Si on the stage was also confused. The situation in front of him was different from what he imagined.
Six bids have been held in the morning, and each one is extremely intense. Everyone tried their best to participate in the bidding. This bid is the largest project among all projects and the most profitable project. I originally thought that everyone would pay each other as in the previous few games.
However……
This bid started like this.
Li Si was in a hurry to sweat. You know, the emperor was standing in the hall watching the bid.
What scared him even more was that in such a cold situation, if one person bids next and others don’t pay, then the high bidding price would be equivalent to losing the national treasury, and he would be really going to be over!
"Well, please give me a price!"
Li Si glanced at the emperor awkwardly, and then quickly urged the dozen businessmen in the audience.
However……
No one offered to those dozen businessmen.
Although these dozen merchants were eager to try, they also looked like they wanted to speak but stopped.
There were more than ten of them, looking at me, I looked at you, and finally they all looked at a wealthy businessman sitting in the front row.
Obviously, the reason why everyone didn't say anything was entirely because of the person sitting in the front row.
Not only Li Si, but even Ying Zheng and a group of civil and military ministers saw that the bid for the Qinling Project was a violation of the principle of fair price and trying not to let other rivals speak, so as to directly win the Qinling Project of 2 million gold.
This is a very simple truth. As long as no one pays him, he can finally offer two million gold and win the project.
Ying Zheng's face turned gloomy at that time, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the businessman sitting in the front row.
Feng Quji and others had their eyes lit up at this time because they recognized the businessman sitting in the front row at a glance. This person was the richest man in Qin and a wealthy businessman who had a lot to do with Li Yang!
Yes, when Li Yang was appointed as prime minister, a group of civil and military ministers had been to Tianxiaju to congratulate Li Yang, so everyone had seen this person.
Collusion between officials and businessmen!
This is a true collusion between officials and businessmen, and it is impossible for something to be wrong!
Even if a businessman is the richest man in Qin, it is impossible for other wealthy businessmen to dare not end the price?
At this time, even a fool knew that this must be Li Yang colluding with the officials and businessmen of Bashi.
Only Li Yang has this deterrent force, which can prevent other merchants from speaking out. Otherwise, how could other merchants be eager to try such a huge profit project, but no one dares to make a price.
This time, not only Feng Quji and his party looked at Li Yang. Even other ministers who were originally neutral also looked at Li Yang in shock.
Everyone was extremely surprised. How could Li Yang dare to do such a thing?
Ying Zheng naturally noticed the strangeness of everyone, frowned, and asked, "Do you know who you are?"
Feng Quji quickly replied: "Report to Your Majesty, that person is the richest man in the Qin Dynasty who was colluding with the Prime Minister of the Central Committee, Ba Shi, the head of the Ba family."
Ying Zheng was shocked, turned his head to look at Li Yang with disbelief, looked at him deeply, and then turned his eyes to the businessman Ba Shi.
Although Ying Zheng didn't say a word, everyone knew that this time the emperor believed the words of the censors because the facts in front of him had proved everything.
And now, the emperor was just waiting for the merchant named Bashi to report his actual price...
Then, it will be over!
At this time, everyone looked at the richest man in Qin, Bashi.
At this moment, Bashi waited for a while, and saw that no one offered a offer, so he finally moved and got up.
He looked back at the dozen merchants behind him, then bowed and smiled, "Why don't you pay for it?"
More than a dozen businessmen bowed their hands, smiling and complimenting.
One of the wealthy businessmen smiled and said, "Brother Ba is here today, so naturally Brother Ba is the first to pay for it. If we can continue to pay for it, let's talk about it!"
"Yes, Brother Ba doesn't offer it first, it's futile for us to make the price." Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Bashi sighed: "Okay, then Ba is not polite. I will only quote the price once. As long as you feel that you have the ability to continue to make a price, I, Ba, will give in to this project."
After saying that, Bashi turned to look at Li Si on the stage and said loudly: "The Daqin Bashi Trading Company costs 950,000 gold. In addition, the Bashi Trading Company promised that in the current famine, the number of victims employed by the project shall not be less than 500,000. On the day of winning the bid, the disaster recovery operation will be launched immediately. The Bashi Trading Company's branches in various counties in Daqin immediately began to send the victims to the Imperial Mausoleum of Mount Li, and paid in advance to solve the urgent need for the elderly, weak and poor women in the families of the victims."
Speaking of this with a strong force, Bashi turned his head and glanced at everyone, smiled and reached out to make a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, now you can start the final price!"
Merchants: “…………”
Ying Zheng: “…………”
Civil and military officials: “…………”
There was silence in the entire chamber!
At this moment, everyone was so shocked that they opened their mouths wide, unable to believe their ears!
Especially Feng Quji and others, they were completely confused. This was completely different from what they imagined!
At this time, they were like eating flies, their faces were as ugly as they looked.
How could this be the case?
Isn’t no one dared to pay him a price?
Then why does the Ba family still have to quote such a low price?
This scene directly made Feng Quji's nose skew and even twisted his heart.
No one paid the price, but the Ba family offered 950,000 gold?
It is 50,000 gold lower than the normal cost!
Oh my God, are the hearts of the merchants in this world distorted? Otherwise, how could they become so conscientious?
