Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 82 Stopping the Auction

"The abacus is good, but the calculation is wrong. No matter how dazzling the calculation is, it is still a joke."

Mr. Wei knew how old the boss behind the restaurant was, so he remained calm from beginning to end.

When the Wei family came to fight for these shops, they also knew that the Crown Princess really wanted to sell them.

Moreover, being able to hold an auction at this venue and having the Wei family come to support it also gave that person face.

The Wei family is a staunch supporter of the eldest prince and will have to deal with these people in the future.

"It doesn't matter. If you want to return the shops now, although it breaks the rules of the auction, the Crown Princess has already considered it, so she has given instructions. If you really want to return these shops, you must bear the handling fees of the auction. We must also pay 50% of the compensation to the Crown Princess.”

The host was still very calm. He admired the Crown Princess very much. What he had explained before actually happened.

Those merchants were naturally unwilling, and they were all shouting that this didn’t make sense.

But the host dismissed them very simply: "In business, originally this auction was about buying and selling, and the money and goods were paid, but you regretted it as soon as you got it, which is a taboo of insincerity. If people in business do not have integrity, how will they behave in the future? According to the rules of the auction house, they are not asked to pay triple compensation directly. The Crown Princess is already worthy of your few silver coins. I want you to take 50%, just for maintenance. Letter."

After the host finished speaking, the businessmen became even more hesitant.

The people who were more popular just now have become the focus of others' attention.

Su Wenshan didn't expect that this host would have twists and turns, so he thought about it and nodded.

After the people below received the instructions, someone took the lead and returned.

At this time, other people arranged by the Su family came together and said that it would be returned to the Crown Princess. It was better to sell it to him directly. He could buy it at the original price, so that no one would have to suffer any losses.

The few people who wanted to transfer the risk hesitated for a moment and then went through the formalities directly.

After a while, the five stores that had been sold were transferred to the Su family. The remaining half still chose to wait and see.

Su Wenshan looked at the scene below and knew that trouble had been caused.

Although the Su family spent money to get these stores back, no one would dare to buy the stores that Shu Yunzhao will auction next.

He also gave the following instructions. If half of the people figured it out and wanted to transfer it, they would only give 70% of the price.

Even so, it is still more cost-effective than paying 50% compensation.

The host saw everyone's unenthusiastic looks and knew in his heart that it was time to reach the stage that the Crown Princess had explained before.

"Everyone just said that the Crown Princess deliberately arranged for people to drive up the price. I am not talented. I have hosted hundreds of large and small auctions. I dare say that this has become the default method of auctions. Because of this, everyone I am suspicious of the Crown Princess and even want my boss to come forward and give me an explanation. Isn’t this a bit of a disturbance to the venue?”

Everyone seemed to have come to their senses, and they were all discussing that it was indeed the case.

The host didn't hesitate and started introducing the next store directly. They couldn't solve all the problems at once. They also wanted the Su family to continue to act like monsters.

This time, the store is indeed not as popular as it was just now, and it will be over in almost two rounds of price increases.

It's the same for three stores in a row.

Su Wenshan on the second floor was a little proud. The cheap shops were already like this. The expensive ones would probably be sold out soon.

Shu Yunzhao, who was sitting on the third floor, was still sitting tight.

Finally we arrived at the key store of this round, Cloth Shop located on South Street.

This is an industry that Shushi has always been very famous for, and its profits have ranked among the top three in recent years.

It's not like there weren't many people who were excited, but thinking of the situation just now, everyone still stayed on the sidelines.

The starting price of cloth store has reached 5,000 taels, and this price is also shocking.

Su Wenshan deliberately observed it and found that no one really bid.

As soon as he signaled to his men, he heard another voice coming from the private room where the price had just been raised: "Five thousand taels."

Someone has set a minimum price, and if they want more, they will increase it.

Seeing that there was no competition, Su Wenshan gritted his teeth and added a hundred taels.

Someone below was already chuckling. The shop that had just started with a price of two thousand taels was charging an additional five hundred taels every time. For such a good shop, the price was only one hundred taels.

Unexpectedly, the person who raised the price directly increased the price to 5,500 taels.

Su Wenshan felt depressed for a while, and wanted to see what kind of care Shu Yunzhao had arranged.

In the end, he stopped shouting. Mr. Wei was actually curious about who was behind the screen.

Everyone is thinking that the next step should be some unimportant shops to see who is interested and can buy them at the lowest price.

As a result, it was another important shop, the Silk and Satin Store in Beishi.

This fabric shop in Nanshi has almost monopolized Kyoto's fabric industry in recent years. I didn't expect it to be taken out so soon.

The starting price of five thousand taels is the same as before.

This time, Su Wenshan was quick and grabbed the lowest price.

The person who had been raising the price still directly increased the price by five hundred taels.

Su Wenshan gritted his teeth and rushed to six thousand taels.

As expected, the man stopped moving, allowing the Su family to succeed.

This made Su Wenshan even more certain that Shu Yunzhao wanted to keep the cloth shop for himself and let him buy this silk and satin shop. Then the two families would compete.

"It's really despicable to raise the price like this..." Su Lu couldn't hold back and said loudly.

No one in the audience spoke after hearing this. In their hearts, they probably had the same idea.

Having already been exposed, it is indeed a joke to still have the courage to carry it out.

"Do we still need to shoot the shops below?" The Su family started to take the lead again.

"That's right, either the price will increase, or the princess will buy it back herself. Even if we buy it, we don't know what will happen in the future..."

There were more and more voices like this, until someone said: "It's better not to auction the rest. No one will be fooled anyway, so let the Crown Princess keep it for herself..."

The scene became quite quiet, as everyone seemed to be waiting for the reaction from upstairs.

They knew that the Crown Princess must be present today.

Sure enough, from the screen on the third floor, Shu Yunzhao flashed out.

"Fortunately, I came here in person today. Otherwise, there is really no way to see how someone would dare to make such false accusations against the royal family. Just now, some people said that I deliberately arranged for my people to raise the price. There are also people who want to meet the owner here. I was still thinking about saving some face for you, so as not to end it in the end, but now it’s better. If someone wants to stop this auction, of course they won’t give me face, nor will they give face to the owner.”

Su Lu was not polite and rushed out of the private room: "If you can prove that the person who keeps raising the price is not your own servant, this auction can continue..."

When everyone saw that they were indeed members of the Su family, they felt clear in their hearts.

This time, Shu Yunzhao didn't speak, and the person behind the screen spoke directly: "It seems that I haven't been out and about for too long, and all the pillars of the Su family regard me as a servant..."

This voice surprised even Young Master Wei.

He immediately walked out of the screen room and said to the screen: "Wei Wuji of the Wei family, I don't know that Princess Qing is here, please forgive me..."
