BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148: Monopoly sale
In addition to the college and Taoyuan, Li Yin also did not ignore the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. This is the capital of his start-up. He used to be able to separate public and private affairs, but now the entire Chengdu government has to rely on himself, whether it is the salaries of officials, He still has to pay for all kinds of infrastructure construction funds, so Li Yin plans to introduce other new industries on the basis of existing industries.
After Tong Nian returned to Yizhou, he immediately became Cui Yingying\'s attendant, responsible for the management of the workshop and the sales of the goods. Today, he received an order from Cui Yingying to hold an auction for the sale of the exclusive right at the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce Auction House. The idea of the store was discussed by Li Yin and Cui Yingying a few months ago, but in order to attract more businessmen, Cui Yingying publicized it in the commercial newspaper for several months, until she felt that the heat was almost ready, and she decided to hold this event. auctions.
And Cui Yingying should not show up on such an occasion, so this task was handed over to Tong Nian.
On the way to the chamber of commerce, Tong Nian had been thinking about this monopoly issue, and he admired Li Yin a lot. He never thought that he could come up with such a method of accumulating money.
Shengtang Chamber of Commerce Auction House, this is a two-story building that has just been completed, covering an area of about 2,000 square meters. There are 5,000 seats in the auction hall on the first floor, and in front of the seats is a high raised At this time, businessmen from all over the Tang Dynasty gathered here, whispering and whispering.
"Oh, shopkeeper Wang, you are here too."
"Shopkeeper Zhao, long time no see."
"The shopkeeper Wang is here this time to buy that monopoly right?"
"My family has been making wine for generations, so this is of course the Chang\'an sales right of Xinghua Wine."
"Chang\'an sales right! This is not cheap, there is no one who can\'t get 300,000 yuan. I heard that the Dou family, the richest businessman in Chang\'an, is also planning to buy this sales right. Shopkeeper Wang must be careful."
"Ah! It\'s over now."
In another place, Dou Yun has let his servant take the seat closest to the auction platform in the front row. Beside him is a handsome young man who is looking left and right curiously at the auction hall, while Dou Yun is sitting on the seat Calm down.
"Father, there are quite a lot of acquaintances here. The richest businessman in Yangzhou has also come. He claims that his wealth is ten times that of ours. This time he will definitely be embarrassed." Brother Younger was not convinced when he spoke.
Dou Yun glanced at his daughter and shook his head. This is his daughter Dou Hairuo, "Hey, this is exactly what the King of Shu... No, what the King of Chengdu wants to see now is to let us businessmen fight each other so that he can profit from it." , the rule of this auction house is that the highest bidder wins, isn\'t this obviously asking us to bid each other up?"
"Daughter understands, but there\'s no way around that. A bowl of soup poured out by the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce can make a person a lot of money, let alone this monopoly, the profit is even a fool can see it, otherwise it would not be today. There are so many merchants here." Dou Hairuo said thoughtfully.
Dou Yun nodded, suddenly remembered something, "I asked you to deposit 300,000 taels of gold in the Shengtang Bank in Chang\'an, you can save it."
"Save it, don\'t you worry about your daughter doing things? You see, this is the money ticket." Dou Hairuo asked the nursing home to give her the package, and she took it and opened it and put it in front of Dou Yun.
Dou Yun picked up a money ticket and looked at it carefully. The money ticket was about the size of the palms of two adults, and the colors were exquisite. On the front of the money ticket were beautiful mountains and rivers, and on the back was the scenery of Baihuatan in Yizhou City. , in the middle of the pattern, the words 10,000 Guan are printed, and there is also the seal of the Shengtang Bank.
"Father, this money note is not afraid of water!" When Dou Hairuo was playing with the money note once, he accidentally let the money note fall into the water. The pattern is not damaged by blisters at all.
After Li Yin gave Cui Yingying an idea, she soon held the opening ceremony of the Shengtang Bank, and invited many wealthy businessmen and officials from Yizhou to make the whole Yizhou city known. After the opening of the bank in Yizhou City, Cui Yingying He also opened money houses in several wealthy states, such as Chang\'an and Yangzhou, and announced that when using money tickets to trade with the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, he would get some discounts. However, this idea was not conceived by Li Yin, but by Cui Yingying herself. When she told Li Yin about her whimsical idea, Li Yin was also quite surprised. She didn\'t expect that she would learn how to sell in a bundle.
However, Li Yin, the Qianzhuang Bank of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, wasted a lot of effort and set up a separate workshop for printing money tickets outside the printing factory. The equipment in this workshop was re-customized by Li Yin, specially for printing money The printed paper and ink are all purchased by Li Yin from Hyundai, and no one can fake it.
The process of depositing money is also very strict. Both parties have to sign and stamp, and press their fingerprints. When withdrawing money, they need to check and confirm that it is correct before paying.
"With this money ticket, we will never be able to catch up with the Tang Chamber of Commerce." Dou Yun held the money ticket with emotion.
Just as he was talking, Tong Nian walked in from the outside, and the merchants all quieted down. Many of these merchants had dealt with Tong Nian. Many people envied and hated Tong Nian\'s transformation from a local chicken into a phoenix. But when they saw Tong Nian, everyone they knew well gathered around to greet him.
"Does shopkeeper Tong remember me? We drank together when we were in business."
"I\'m Yoo Changmin, the one next door to yours."
"..."
Tong Nian returned the gifts one by one, feeling refreshed in his heart. Once upon a time, he had to act according to the faces of these people, but now these people have to act according to his faces. It\'s been thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
After exchanging pleasantries along the way, Tong Nian walked onto the auction stage, and took out a list prepared in advance from his pocket. This list recorded the reserve prices of the monopoly rights in each state, which was classified as confidential. A few days ago, many people sought him out through their connections. , but he refused to let him do it conveniently. Li Yin specifically explained to him that the reserve price cannot be disclosed in advance, otherwise it will affect the income of the auction.
Clearing his throat, Tong Nian said: "First of all, thank you all for your kindness in coming to Shengtang Auction House. The matter of the monopoly was proposed by the Sixth Prince a few months ago. I have been waiting until today to let the businessmen of Datang know about it. So as not to let some people who don’t know suffer.”
Tong Nian stood on the auction stage, and all the merchants sat down and listened attentively to what Tong Nian had to say. For a while, there was no other voice from the venue except Tong Nian\'s voice, for fear that they might miss some information.
"Businessmen from all over the world are here today, so the auction can officially start. First of all, the first auction is the monopoly rights of Chang\'an perfume. The starting price is 500,000 guan, and the price will increase by 10,000 guan. Let\'s start!"…
