Chapter 367 Auction
Father Liu can only say that there is a scholar in the family. If someone in the family can pass the exam, they can still raise a banner in the city. Whether they pass or not, there is always hope.
"Master, it's okay, we plan to hold the auction in three days. In the next two or three days, our auction house will promote it in the city and surrounding counties. Invite as many ladies from big families as possible to participate. We will definitely be able to sell it to you at a good price. Look, I will sign a commission contract for you now."
Father Liu was not a coy person, and he actually had a good impression of the Su Family Business. After all, it was such a big family. The people in power in the family were definitely not the kind of playboys and prodigals. Even if there were a few such playboys in the family, it shouldn't be a big problem if they didn't encounter any.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Butler Su."
I didn't encounter any bullies along the way.
After finalizing the matter here, Liu's father went to find Zhuzi again and set the time to go to the government office to transfer the ownership four days later. This was because the family members gathered money from the county town and were afraid that they would not be able to make it in time, so they postponed it for one day.
Of course Zhuzi was happy to help, and it just so happened that he hadn't gone to the Shen family to discuss this matter yet.
Sure enough, two days later.
The news spread in the city that the Su family auction house had obtained a treasure this time, and many ladies, young men and young masters from large families were invited to attend.
The big families certainly have no worries about not having invitation letters. Some small and medium-sized families that haven't received an invitation letter are trying every means to get one. Even if they can't afford to bid, by going in and making friends with the young men and women of the big families, maybe they can establish connections with them in the future and benefit from it.
As the seller, Mr. Liu can definitely enter the auction house.
That day he sat in the room arranged by Butler Su early in the morning. The room was on the second floor and was considered a VIP room.
Butler Su also brought the head of the Su family in the capital, which gave Liu's father an opportunity to make friends with him.
The head of the Su family is a thin middle-aged man in his forties. He has a pair of eyes of a shrewd businessman, but his eyes are still clear.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the way he behaves.
After the introduction by housekeeper Su, the two chatted briefly. This kind of socializing was no problem for Liu's father. Today he brought his two younger children, Luo Hong, Lin Weizhong and Liu Xiaolu, with him.
Liu Caixia specially prepared a set of new clothes for them, and the four of them suddenly looked like a master, a young master, and a young lady.
Except for not arranging followers, there was no sense of disobedience. They did not need followers, and when they got the silver, they would directly put it into the space.
A few of them will change their clothes when the time comes, and who knows if they will have money.
Not long after the head of the Su family left, more and more people came into the hall. The head of the Su family was on the second floor, and the second floor was gradually filled up.
The voice of Butler Su came from the bottom of the hall. Butler Su's voice was loud and clear, "Masters, ladies, young masters, and young ladies present here, welcome to the auction of Su's Company. This auction will definitely not disappoint you..."
The atmosphere at the scene gradually heated up and became lively, and people sitting in the hall below were whispering.
Butler Su began to introduce the auction items.
The audience sat in their seats, some of them bid their own prices, while others had servants below bid for them.
Everyone has a number tag, and even the seats downstairs in the hall are separated by screens. Except for when everyone comes in and says hello to each other, everyone goes to their own seats afterwards.
However, most people still won’t reveal their phone numbers. After all, no one knows if there will be a situation where the malicious intentions of their enemies are too fake.
The auction house also wants to prevent people from giving up bidding as a favor.
The arrangement is still very reasonable.
As the auction items were sold one by one, the finale finally came.
It is the bracelet provided by Liu's father.
Butler Su first introduced the jewelry box, and then opened it to take out the top-grade ice-type imperial green-yellow jadeite floating flower bracelet. Yes, there are two yellow floating flowers in the bracelet, and the shape is very beautiful, just like two flowers inlaid inside.
As Butler Su said, "Okay, the starting price is one thousand taels, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred taels."
"One thousand five hundred taels..."
"Two thousand two hundred taels..."
"Three thousand eight hundred taels..."
The auction reached its climax. As the price continued to rise, some people in the room dropped out of the bidding procession. In the end, only two families on the second floor were left bidding.
"Six thousand taels..."
"Six thousand eight hundred taels..."
"Six thousand eight hundred taels...once...six thousand eight hundred taels...twice...six thousand eight hundred taels...three times! Deal, congratulations to Box No. 6 for winning the top item. Well, this auction has come to a successful conclusion, thank you all for your support. Our host has set up a VIP banquet in the lobby outside, everyone is welcome to come. The auction house's servants will take you to your seats. Don't worry, the ladies and madams have separate rooms. You can also take this opportunity to get together."
After the auction was over, everyone came out and it was very lively.
Father Liu and Luo Hong looked at each other.
Father Liu is actually fine, as he has participated in many modern auctions. Luo Hong is also an academic, as he has participated in many academic seminars and given many lectures.
"Let's go out later."
"Okay, I'm too lazy to socialize. Otherwise, they'll ask us questions and we won't be able to answer them."
The voices outside gradually died down, and Steward Su walked in. "Master Liu, Master Luo, these are the remaining banknotes after deducting the handling fee. Please count them, Master."
Luo Hong took the banknote and started to read it, while Father Liu asked Butler Su for information, "Butler Su, we want to go to the state capital later. I wonder if you can help us find a caravan for the Su Family Business to go there. Can we join the caravan and go to the state capital together?"
"Master Liu, I have already told the elder master about this matter. Even if you don't ask, I would still tell you. Four days later, the Su family will have a caravan going to the provincial capital. Our own carriage is eight taels. In addition to our own guards, we have also hired escorts from the Qingfeng Escort Agency. The safety issue is greatly guaranteed. In addition, we have accepted four families, all of whom are students going to the provincial capital to take exams. If you join us, there will be no problem at all. The elder master has already instructed me to give you the most favorable price. If you have your own carriage, it will be twenty taels per person. If you use our caravan's carriage, it will be forty taels per person. You can rest assured about this price. Even casual people don't have such a price as you."
"Butler Su, thank you so much! Then we will prepare a carriage ourselves, and there will be five or six people accompanying us. Do you think we need to sign a contract in advance?"
Father Liu stuffed the red envelope he had prepared into the hands of Butler Su, who took it with a smile and put it into his sleeve unnoticeably.
