The best county magistrate
Chapter 33 Auction
"You...a little seventh-grade county magistrate, how dare you talk to me like this?"
Xie Tianhua was so angry that he laughed loudly.
"I want to see who dares to take your salt without me, Mrs. Xie, huh!"
Yang Xuanchen frowned, "Zhang Biao, this man despises me, slap me, and throw him out of the county government office!"
"Yang Xuanchen, how dare you! I am the second young master of the Xie family in Shangjing City. How dare you..."
Halfway through his words, a slap bigger than his face flew in front of his eyes.
Bang bang bang, Zhang Biao's big dick made him spin 720 degrees.
His mouth was full of blood, and he even spit out a few back molars.
Then he was carried out of the Yin Hotel by Zhang Biao like a chicken.
The owners and shopkeepers of the trading house were sitting at attention, not daring to say a word.
"Now let me say something!"
"This auction is for the remaining seven months of this year's sea salt, which is estimated to be 60 million kilograms."
"This year's share will be divided into fifteen parts, and the goods will be delivered once a month. The one with the highest price will get it."
"I've finished what I said. Who agrees? Who objects?"
The cold voice surrounded everyone's ears. Their faces varied, some were excited and some were frowning.
"I object! I..."
"Zhang Biao, slap your mouth and throw it out!" Yang Xuanchen glared at the naysayer.
After two people were thrown out one after another, the hall of Yin Hotel was completely silent.
Even Ma Fugui, who was first familiar with Yang Xuanchen, couldn't help but shudder, what a domineering county magistrate.
"Congratulations everyone, there is one less competitor. Now there are only seventeen trading houses."
"But the share is only fifteen, which is still a bit regretful..."
Yang Xuanchen changed the subject, "However, I won't let everyone's trip go to waste if they don't win a share of the auction."
After he finished speaking, he quietly waited for everyone's reaction.
"Master Yang, let's get started. I think everyone won't have any objections."
The person who spoke was Wang Younian from Wang's Trading Company in Pingzhou.
Yang Xuanchen nodded slightly, "Boss Wang said yes, let's get started."
"The first share of sea salt is four million jins. The starting price is ten cents per catty, and at least one penny will be added each time a sign is raised." Wei Junzhi shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, those business firms that had connections with Ma Fugui showed a confident attitude.
The merchants who came from distant states all looked shocked at the starting price of ten cents.
If you can win the auction at the lowest price, compared to the salt price of thirty cents in the market, you will have a profit of at least ten cents.
They were gearing up, their eyes glowing red, and they looked particularly excited.
In their eyes, the contract in Wei Junzhi's hand was like the naked oiran in a brothel.
"Qingzhou Ma's Trading Company, offer ten cents!" Ma Fugui shouted.
The next person shouted: "The Hu family in Bazhou has twelve articles."
Ma Fugui stood up, bowed to the seat in Bazhou, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Feng, this sea salt comes from Qingzhou. To save your face, give this first share to me, Ma."
"Fifteen articles from Ma's Trading Company!"
After he put down the cards, Wei Junzhi looked around and saw that other trading houses had no expression. He counted down three times and said, "Deal!"
"The next step is the second one. The starting price is still ten cents per catty, and each increase in price must not be less than one cent."
"Pingzhou Wang family, fifteen articles." Wang Younian raised the sign and said calmly.
Several trading houses struggled for a while, and seemed to have made a decision, "Chenzhou Sihai Trading Company, sixteen articles."
"Eighteen articles!"
"Nineteen articles!"
"Pingzhou Wang family, twenty coins!" Wang Younian shouted loudly.
The price of 20 coins was already very close to the imperial court's price of 22 coins, and most of the trading houses basically gave up and continued bidding.
If the first one was about giving Ma Fugui face, then the next dozen or so have nothing to do with him at all.
The final price of each copy was not less than eighteen cents.
For these trading houses, as long as it is less than 20 cents, the profit is very considerable.
Four million catties of salt are sold at thirty cents per catty. After deducting the cost, you can earn at least thirty thousand taels of silver.
The merchants who won the share of the auction were almost laughing from ear to ear. When they pressed their fingerprints on the contract, they almost knelt on the ground and called their adoptive father.
Some were happy, some were sad, and the few businesses that didn't win the auction lowered their heads and sighed.
All this is seen in Yang Xuanchen's eyes. As an excellent financial worker, he understands that behind every successful businessman there is a sadness that others don't know about.
Especially in such a feudal society, the status of scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants was very low.
He is currently unable to change this situation, but he will still try to do it wherever he can.
"I would like to congratulate all the bosses who won the bid. Don't be discouraged if you didn't win. I have prepared a small gift for everyone."
"I have prepared a banquet in Youpeng Pavilion. Please come to Youpeng Pavilion, please!"
After Yang Xuanchen finished speaking, he led everyone to set off towards Youpeng Pavilion.
Everyone has different body shapes, but all of them are dressed in luxurious clothes, which attracts the attention of many people.
"Master Yang, may I ask why the air in Qingshui County is so fresh?"
"The streets and alleys are much cleaner than the inner city of the upper capital."
Yang Xuanchen pointed to the red letter on a white wall with a smile.
"A green home is created by you and me together. Environmental sanitation depends on everyone working together to maintain it."
"Boss Wang, the reason why Qingshui County is what it is today is inseparable from the people's consciousness..."
"He~tui!" Someone spat everywhere.
Suddenly, an old lady rushed out from the corner. She rushed to the spitting boss with a smile.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Spitting on the ground will result in a fine of five cents!"
Everyone looked at the old lady in surprise. Is this still an old woman?
Why can he run faster than a young man?
Then they turned to look at Yang Xuanchen, showing suspicion.
Yang Xuanchen touched his nose and said with a sneer: "Of course, if the people don't realize it, then punish them until they do!"
Everyone understood and thought that you just dared to slap Xie Tianhua and throw him out of the county government office. Now it is reasonable to fine the people a small amount of money.
After the old lady got five cents, she returned to the street corner and muttered: "It's easier to make money from foreigners."
After Yang Xuanchen and his party walked for a while, Wang Younian looked at a low house in the alley and asked, "Sir, what is that low house for sale?"
"Why the long queue?"
"Haha, that's a special hut in Qingshui County. We launched a lottery event for big prizes in the hut, and the effect was quite good." Yang Xuanchen said with a smile.
Can you still draw a lottery when you go to the hut?
This is fresh!
Several bosses who were holding back their urine had already been curious. When they heard it was a latrine, they immediately rushed to a few latrines that had not been lined up on the way here.
After waiting for a while, several bosses each held a lottery ticket in their hands.
A potbellied boss asked curiously: "Sir, can you win the lottery just by relying on this mysterious word on the lottery ticket?"
Yang Xuanchen nodded, "Yes, but in order to make the lottery more interesting, people must know the words on the lottery tickets in their hands."
"This month's grand prize is still a sentence composed of five words. Whoever collects all five words and can read it on stage will win the grand prize."
"In order to increase everyone's enthusiasm, I have increased the grand prize to five taels of silver!"
Wang Younian was shocked, his eyes widened, "What? You can win five taels of silver in the hut?"
The other boss with frost written on the ticket laughed and said, "Boss Wang, it's not that easy. This ticket costs only a penny, and you can only buy one at a time."
"To collect all five characters, you need at least five cents."
Yang Xuanchen added: "Of course, you can go to the latrines without drawing a lottery. The latrines in Qingshui County are public facilities and there is no charge for them."
"Why don't you bosses go faster? Today's lottery table is placed outside the door of Youpeng Pavilion. Today happens to be the day of the lottery draw."
Everyone's curiosity was aroused by him, and their pace unknowingly accelerated a lot.
Before we reached the door of Youpeng Pavilion, Zhang Biao's loud voice came from the high platform, "Folks, protect the environment..."
With a few snaps, a few vegetable leaves flew out from the crowd, almost throwing them in his face.
"Damn it, kid! Don't run away for a while, I can't beat you to death!"
The black lines all over Yang Xuanchen's face were so embarrassing. He was so vulgar in front of so many financial sponsors and fathers.
"Zhang Biao, what the hell are you farting? How many times have I told you that we are parents and we should treat our fellow villagers as our own parents!"
"I'm beep beep beep beep, if I hear you swearing again, I'll beep beep beep and peel off your skin!"
This time, not only the bosses looked at Yang Xuanchen in shock, but also the common people turned back and looked at him in surprise.
I blanch it, that’s not right!
It seemed that his dirty words just now were more powerful than Zhang Biao.
