Chapter 245(1/2)
There were four hundred and twenty silos, Xu Qilin was quite satisfied. He smiled faintly, grabbed the snack next to him, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
The auction that was pressed continued, without the first temptation and temptation, the competition was a little weaker. But as we all know, the price dropped by at most a hundred yuan, and the so-called reserve price was simply inappropriate.
The second mirror was finally sold at 360 guan, and the third one was about the same price. The next one was calm, with the lowest one being 300 guan.
Xu Qilin lowered his eyes and thought about it, and decided to set the price of the small mirror at 280 guan. Dogeely, don't have nine or nine, 28, you can take it home.
According to the price of today's auction, buying 280 knots will be at least 20 knots, and it will be even more profitable.
Moreover, Xu Qilin thinks the price is quite fair. The key is that there is a price but no market, and it is not that easy for you to buy it.
Just like fragrant dew, the price is marked, but can you definitely buy it?
In addition to the royal fixed offering, there are also many related households who make private reservations, and few are actually sold on the market.
Even if the output has been expanded now, the supply is in short supply. In addition, the purchase restrictions have made merchants who want to resell.
In this way, the fragrant luster that can be sold in Yangzhou, Guangzhou and other places has been hyped up to a price that is nearly twice as high as Changan.
What Xu Qilin wants is this effect. He kept secretly stocking up fragrance and dew, which was to transport it to other places for a high price.
Always maintaining the shortage of stocks in the market, the prices will naturally remain high. If you want to make a lot of money, you don’t have to expand your production capacity and produce more.
After a little rest, I made so much money, and I had no shortage of tea and snacks. Although no one lacked this food and drink for those who could afford mirrors.
In addition to eating and drinking, there was also a song and dance. Everyone did not take it seriously, but soon they discovered that the lamps held by the dancer were extraordinary.
"Is it a glazed lamp?"
"Someone looks like crystal."
"It must be of great value. If you display it at auction, maybe there is something else."
"Is it also an auction item, without notice in advance?"
As the conversation was over, the singing and dancing ended, but a few glass lamps remained and were placed on the table.
Tang Yiyi came on stage again, but changed into a dress. Her style was a bit weird, but it made her look more beautiful.
With a smile on his face, Tang Yiyi reached out to introduce to everyone: "This is a crystal lamp made by Dayingku, which is both translucent and windproof. If you want to take a closer look, it will be displayed in the exhibition hall tomorrow."
"I'm right, it's a crystal lamp." Someone was proud of his experience.
"It's indeed the item to be sold, and it's made by Dayingku. I wonder what the price is?"
"When I go to the exhibition hall tomorrow to take a closer look, this object is like a mirror and will be auctioned publicly." Someone stroked his beard and acted as a star. "The Lantern Festival is approaching, so it is a good time to sell lights."
Tang Yiyi reached out to signal, and the staff took out the auction items, a dressing mirror with gold edges, everyone's eyes immediately opened, ready to bid.
"This is a dressing mirror, with the mark of 'Yingzhi No. 1' behind it." Tang Yiyi solemnly introduced: "In addition to the royal enshrinement, this is the first publicly sold treasure mirror."
After pausing, she smiled and said, "Who doesn't want the wife at home to dress up beautifully and have a beautiful face; who doesn't want to see the beautiful mirror?"
Turning the base of the mirror, Tang Yiyi let everyone appreciate it again before speaking: "The price of this auction item is 2,000 guan, and each price increase is at least 200 guan. Now - the auction begins."
The small mirror as big as a palm has been photographed for three or four hundred pillars. Not only is this big one ten times smaller, but everyone knows that the bigger it is, the harder it is to build, and they are ready for the lowest price.
Moreover, the price has been shown for so long, and the price has been roughly estimated. Xu Qilin has a certain basis for offering the lowest price, not just a fool.
After a little silence, someone raised a bid: "Two thousand five hundred cents."
Some people take the lead, and everyone knows that it is not realistic to buy at the lowest price. If you want to get it, you have to raise a bid!
"Three thousand guan!" The voice of raising the bid was a bit strange, it should be a Hu merchant.
"Three thousand two hundred stale!"
"Three thousand five hundred stale!"
"Four thousand guan!" Hearing this accent, everyone looked at it. The South Businessmen also intends to bid, and I don't know how they got the news.
Hu merchants have money, and Nan merchants are even better than Hu merchants. Nan merchants, which are related to maritime trade, are even richer. Historical records: There are many large merchants with huge output.
Xu Qilin laughed happily in the box. Four thousand guan was already his expected ideal number. But judging by this situation, the bidding has not ended yet.
After 4,500 stakes, there were only a few bidders, and only two people were left to hold the signs; 5,000 stakes, the venue was already silent and no one bids any more.
"No. 26, five thousand guan once, five thousand guan twice, five thousand guan three times." Tang Yiyi waved the hammer and "deal."
When they coaxed, everyone exclaimed in amazement.
Xu Qilin touched his chin and smiled happily. It was good, exceeding his expectations, and the patent income made him earn 500 yuan.
A gentle knock on the door sounded, and a subordinate pushed the door and reported: "Xu Cheng, Zhao Shenjun, the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County, asked for a meeting."
Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment and said, "Please come in."
Zhao Shenjun entered the private room and had finished the ceremony with Xu Qilin. He smiled and said with a slight cold chat: "The prince is also very fond of treasure mirrors. He has purchased several faces before. Now the auction price of this dressing mirror is so high that the money you carry is a little insufficient—"
Xu Qilin nodded and said with a smile: "The prince is also impatient, why bother to bid with others at the auction! When the auction is over, the price will be lower than now. Wouldn't it be better to buy it then?"
Zhao Shenjun smiled bitterly and said, "The assignment of the subordinate officials must be done well. If it is delayed, I am afraid that the prince will be unhappy."
Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "That's it. When the auction is over, the price of the treasure mirror will be almost settled. There is another freshly made side of Daying Curry, so it will be sold to the prince at this price. What do you think?"
Zhao Shenjun hurriedly bowed to thank him, "Thank you for your accomplishment. For the prince, the subordinates will definitely meet Chen Ming."
Xu Qilin smiled and reached out to signal, "Zhao Shenjun, please sit down, and then go to Dayingku to collect goods after the auction is over."
Zhao Shenjun bowed again before sitting down respectfully.
The auction continues, and the transaction is completed side by side, with a price of around 4,000 guan. This is also the estimate of merchants. If you sell it back, you will have at least 20% of the profit.
What amount of money do you think is to transport silk, grain, or other goods to make these hundreds of stagnants of money?
On the one hand, the treasure mirror that can be carried with you is no less sensational than now. It is not difficult to sell 5,000 stags or even more.
The Southern Shang thought so, while the Hu Shang wanted to go on the Silk Road and sell the treasure mirrors to Persia, Tianzhu and other places, making more profits.
But no matter whether it is a Nanshang and Hushang, there is actually a concern, which is the source of goods.
Auctions certainly raise the price, but there is always a chance to buy it. But after clearly marking the price, the mirror will definitely be cheaper, but it is not in vain that you can't buy it.
If you want to go there, who can compare with the powerful and powerful officials in Chang'an? However, everyone has more money than the auction, and it seems fair.
Xu Qilin is actually considering this issue, is it to only meet personal needs or to give merchants a chance to make money? How to maintain the output of mirrors and what is the quantity to be put into the market so that the price can be basically unchanged?
After thinking for a long time, Xu Qilin decided to adopt a strategy of parallelizing multiple channels. He had already told the outside world that the output was twenty sides, so he would sell it all at auction; those who clearly marked the price were mostly powerful officials who supplied Chang'an.
If there is still plenty of mirrors produced, then it will be handed over to various branches of Dayingku to help them increase their popularity and popularity.
As for the Feng family in Lingnan, it is not impossible to supply a small amount, but the Feng family must be sold overseas and must not be sold domestically.
At least the mirrors produced this year must first meet the needs of royal relatives and powerful officials in Chang'an City.
In fact, who is selling is not selling? As long as the price can be maintained and the profits are not cut too much, Xu Qilin doesn't care much.
Even if it is Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian, he should pay as much as possible. Unless His Majesty Li Er speaks.
Look at the powerful and high-ranking officials in Chang'an City, who did not live a luxurious life. Take Li Xiaogong as an example, but he was famous for his luxurious temperament, and there were more than 100 singers and dancers in the back room.
In the hands of these people, they can only eat and enjoy themselves; but in the hands of Xu Qilin, they can do a lot of practical things, allowing ordinary people to get more benefits.
Thinking of this, Xu Qilin was able to stay calm again. He just used the mirror as a commodity. The purpose of making money was achieved.
All five mirrors were auctioned off. Who knows which one was a businessman to make money by reselling it; which one was a powerful man and a wealthy man just to please the women in the family, or to use this mirror to show off his wealth and make his appearance.
Xu Qilin didn't get up immediately and calculated according to his own formula. The price of the dressing mirror was more appropriate. As for the price of the secretly speculated selling in the future, you can ignore it.
After calculating, he looked up and said to Zhao Shenjun: "The price can be determined. The dressing mirror is 3,800 guan and the Linglong mirror is 280 guan. Of course, I will report to Your Majesty, but the difference should not be very big."
Zhao Shenjun nodded quickly and said, "I will buy it at this price, and the prince should be satisfied."
"If there is a difference in price, you don't need to make up for it if you have less, but you have to return it if you have more." Xu Qilin stood up and said, "I'll send someone to Dayingku to get the treasure mirror with Zhao Shenjun."
"Thank you, Xu Cheng." Zhao Shenjun bowed and said, "Then the official will keep the money, 3,800 guan. Please rest assured, and there will be no mistakes."
"I feel relieved with the reputation of the prince." Xu Qilin nodded with a smile, called a subordinate, and ordered him to lead Zhao Shenjun to Dayingku to take a mirror.
After seeing off Zhao Shenjun, Xu Qilin sat down again, waiting for his subordinates to collect money and count the money so that he could use the accurate data to meet His Majesty Li Er for a report.
……………………
Qianqiu Palace in the imperial palace.
"Around 30,000 yuan?!" His Majesty Li Er's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard the report.
"Although I am just a rough calculation, the difference is only three to five hundred coins." The guard sent to answered.
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said, "I understand, you can retreat."
The guard stepped back, and His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, showing a gratifying smile.
A mere 30,000 yuan will certainly not make His Majesty Li Er, who is rich all over the world, so happy that he can't find Bei. But these are just a few mirrors, just the beginning.
It is believed that mirrors are difficult to control, but His Majesty Li Er has already obtained the details revealed by Xu Qilin.
As the technology becomes more sophisticated and the production of mirrors will continue to increase as the craftsmen become more skilled. The number of auctions today may be in the future ten days and a half months, and it may even be able to produce so many in one day.
What's more, in addition to mirrors, blown glass products will be released one after another, which are also rare and expensive.
It can be said that Xu Qilin has opened a mountain of gold. The output is small when it starts to mine, but with time, it is normal to make money every day.
It is not an exaggeration at all. As long as you do a good job of confidentiality, the glass industry will bring huge profits for hundreds or even hundreds of years.
