Chapter 5 Bidding

In fact, Wang Jinghui didn't need to buy these different versions of medical books. From childhood to adulthood, he memorized these classic Chinese medicine works under his grandfather's bamboo whip. In addition, he has a strong memory and can even write super works like "The Golden Mirror of the Medical School" and "Compendium of Materia Medica". It is not difficult for him to write these classic works directly. But he himself didn't think so. Revising these classic works is of great good, but how many correct things have been deleted during the revision process?!

In order to pursue absolute authority, these famous doctors in the Song Dynasty would never add theories that they could not prove, but these theories that could not prove their correctness were deleted for no reason. Thinking of this, Wang Jinghui couldn't help but feel sad: Even if the theory of traditional Chinese medicine was placed in time and space a thousand years later, with such advanced science and technology, it was only through the advanced science and technology that some theories that were originally considered fallacies were actually correct. But under such backward conditions, how many things were suspected to be wrong and deleted? So he decided to read all medical books and screen them with his experience in practicing medicine and scientific theories in later generations.

Fortunately, when he came to this time and space, Wang Jinghui's body had an amazing change. Reading books was like a glance. With the more amazing memory, he only had two hours of rest every day. The seemingly scary half-room medical books, with the help of these superpowers, he could memorize them in half a month. "Does this mean that I can prepare to study hard for one month in the future and take the imperial examination? This plan seems feasible!" Wang Jinghui muttered.

He bought a lot of paper to write. Fortunately, he had worked hard on calligraphy. It is hard to imagine that a doctor was not good at writing. When he was in college, most of his classmates worshipped Huaisu's cursive script, but he practiced regular script and running script hard and won awards. However, after coming to this world, this skill that made him very proud in the past became worse than garbage: all people who could write with brushes, not to mention that the four great calligraphers of Su, Huang, Mi and Cai were born in this era. This trick was no longer worthwhile!

For Wang Jinghui, if he used a brush to complete his works, it would be a nightmare. Not to mention anything else, the "Medical Sect Golden Mirror" has exceeded tens of millions of words. If he used a brush to write, it would probably be written until the next century. So he asked the butler for a lot of goose feathers and cut them into a quill pen to stick ink to complete the work.

With the powerful weapon of quill pen, Wang Jinghui can be described as a wing. In just thirteen days, he completed the revision and annotation of three medical books: "Su Wen", "Pulse Classic" and "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia and Yi Classic", but he did not take it out and hand it over to publish it. On the one hand, it was because he was in the medical world of this era, oh no, he did not make any name in the Xinglin, and even if it was published, he was regarded as garbage. On the other hand, the reason was even stronger: he had no money!

Finally, it was the day of the auction. In the morning, Wang Jinghui achieved the best goal at the auction: to sell the glass cup at a sky-high price, and the sky-high price was sold by Khitan merchants. For this goal, he specially asked Mr. Xu to discuss it in the study for half an hour before he came to the Xu Jewelry Store with Mr. Xu.

After arriving at the Xu Jewelry Store, Wang Jinghui realized the effect of the advertising battle planned by Mr. Xu and Manager Li: the door of the Xu Jewelry Store was filled with various carriages and sedan chairs, and half of the street was lined up. He thought to himself: It seems that the wealth of the Xu Jewelry Store will reach an astronomical number! If you bring a machine gun to rob it from the future, you will be killed!

Entering the auction hall, the main hall of the Xu Jewelry Store, was neatly arranged in the interior, full of people wearing various clothes. Wang Jinghui looked carefully, in addition to the dozen merchants who were obviously nomadic clothing, there were also two blue-eyed Hu merchants. "These ten merchants of nomadic clothing are the lambs to be slaughtered at this auction!" Wang Jinghui thought of this, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

According to the plan originally agreed with Mr. Xu, Wang Jinghui also sat in the bidding seat today. As soon as he sat down, the waiter serving next to him delivered a cup of tea, various dried fruits and a sign marked with the seat number. Wang Jinghui picked up the tea cup on the table and blew it. After taking a sip of tea, he began to raise a large number of bidders in the hall.

"Dangdang" Manager Li rang a small gong at the auction table, "Dear buyers, welcome to our store! This time, our store was entrusted to auction a top-quality glass cup. Everyone has appreciated this item in advance. Everyone here is willing to buy it, but our store really cannot decide fairly to whom to sell it to, so we came up with a way to auction. Everyone bids, the higher the price will be! I believe everyone already knows the rules of the auction, but for justice, I will read it again: 1. The price is from the mouth, and the price will be released.

If you dye soap with white cloth, it cannot be changed! 2. This transaction is all real money and silver. You must present gold and silver or other substitutes after bidding, but the substitutes can only be sold at the lowest market price. Our store specially hired Mr. Hu, the supervisor of "Lanbaozhai" to identify the value of the substitutes. I believe everyone believes in Supervisor Hu's eyesight?! Three..." Manager Li read the "auction code" agreed in advance by Wang Jinghui and several others, and finally announced loudly: "The auction begins!"

"One thousand one hundred taels!" This is the quotation of the nursery that they arranged in advance. Although Wang Jinghui and Mr. Xu were very confident in the charm of the glass, in order to mobilize the atmosphere of bidding in the venue, they specifically instructed the two nurses to kill all sides at the opening.

"One thousand two hundred taels!"

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

"Two thousand taels!"

"Two thousand four hundred taels!" Since Manager Li started to roar the gong, the two entrusted the price more than doubled before the bidders came back.

"Two thousand four hundred and fifty taels!" An old man with a gray beard finally couldn't stand it anymore. Of course, the two men would not take action after completing the task. The rest depends on the performance of the real bidder.

"Two thousand six hundred taels!" The atmosphere at the scene was finally mobilized. Although Manager Li had not been trained by the auctioneer, in Wang Jinghui's eyes, he could mobilize the atmosphere of the auction on site than those of the auctioneers in the 21st century. Under his calm hosting, a girl walked up to the front desk to perform tea art with a glass cup during the auction.

In this era, tea fighting is a fashion. When the bidders in the audience saw the girl performing tea art, they even burned the monkey's butt and raised their signs to bid. But what made Wang Jinghui regret was that the Khitan merchants were drinking tea and chatting, which was extremely inconsistent with the hot atmosphere in the venue. But when he found that the Khitan merchants looked contemptuous from time to time, he smiled slightly.

After a period of bidding, there were few people who continued to follow up, only three or five loyal bidders were left, but the price of the glass was also hyped to a point that made Wang Jinghui jealous: 12,000 taels of silver.

Wang Jinghui turned on the folding fan and calmed his anger. He looked at the bidder who was still insisting: there were two young men sitting on the table No. 6 who were still drinking tea leisurely, and it seemed that they could hold on for a while; there was an old man sitting on the table No. 15 and No. 23. One of them was wiping sweat with a handkerchief. It seemed that he couldn't hold on anymore. The other was even more interesting. He only added 50 taels at a time, and it seemed that he had no potential.

When the price rose to 15,000 taels, the bidder at Table 15 finally stopped raising the sign and gave up. "Ten 5,000 taels!" He heard that it was the old man at Table 23. After quoting the price, he looked at the two young men at Table 6 with great concern, but he was soon disappointed.

"Add two hundred taels!" It was the man who looked slightly older on the table No. 6 that offered a price. He always added two hundred taels every time, which was very regular.

"Ten5,250 taels! Is there any price increase? One! Two!" Manager Li was working hard to bewitch him. At this moment, he was extremely excited. His image at this moment was completely different from the first time Wang Jinghui saw his polite appearance.

The old man was still unwilling to give up and added another fifty taels. This offer made everyone in the audience burst into laughter. He almost looked at Table No. 6 with begging eyes, but the young man at Table No. 6 obviously wanted to increase the price, so he gave the old man a very sorry look, and was about to raise the price...

"You Han people are so stingy! Even the price increase is so verbose! Twenty thousand taels!" The bidder on the Khitan merchant's seat finally took action!

At this time, Mr. Xu also walked from behind to Wang Jinghui's table and sat down and said to him gently: "The Khitans finally took action! The one who quoted was the leader of their Khitan merchants, named Xiao Yuanfeng, the owner of the Yunneizhou horse farm in Xijing Road, Liao Kingdom. Not only was the largest Liao merchant in my Song Dynasty, but he also heard that he was the survivor of Empress Dowager Xiao. However, his relationship with the officials of the Liao Kingdom was very good, and there were many officials of the Song Dynasty who had contact with him!"

As if stimulated by Xiao Yuanfeng's words, the two young men at Table No. 6 seemed very angry. The man next to him raised a sign and quoted: "Twenty thousand taels!"

After listening to the quotation for Table 6, the old man at Table 23 finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped raising a bid. The rest were table 6 and Khitan merchants fighting each other.

After hearing Mr. Xu's introduction to the Khitan businessman, Wang Jinghui whispered in Mr. Xu's ear: "Let our people take action! Each time the price of the Khitan businessman is added to two thousand taels, and three times in a row!" Mr. Xu nodded and walked away after hearing Wang Jinghui's words.

Xiao Yuanfeng laughed when he heard the young man quote the price: "Add three thousand taels!"

"Add one thousand taels!" The young man was not showing any weakness, but Wang Jinghui felt that he was a little exhausted. Besides, the offer from Manager Li at that time was 2,000 taels, and he himself thought that this was a fair and reasonable price. People who could still bid for the auction until now were extremely fond of this glass cup. Of course, the Khitan merchants obviously regarded this place as a place where they showed off.

"Smile! Smile!" Wang Jinghui looked at the proud expression of the Khitan merchant and laughed coldly in his heart. He called the waiter, and wrote a brush to the waiter and asked the waiter to hand it over to the owner of Table No. 6. He had just finished writing the raft, and the child care of Table No. 21 had already increased the price twice. Table No. 6 joined forces with him to put pressure on the Khitan merchant. At this time, the price had risen to an astonishing 35,000 taels. The auction reached this point, and anyone with discerning eyes could see that this was much beyond his favorite, and it was completely a fight between the two sides. However, in Wang Jinghui's eyes, Xiao Yuanfeng's strength and momentum were obviously far above Table No. 6. As for the child care that Wang Jinghui arranged in advance, it was just a fishing water.

After the two young men on the table No. 6 had just quoted the price of 37,000 taels, they received the raft from Wang Jinghui. After seeing the raft, the young man looked at Wang Jinghui with confusion. Wang Jinghui bowed his fists at him, and the young man nodded at him.

After Xiao Yuanfeng reported another 40,000 taels of silver on the No. 6 table, he continued to joke loudly with the others at his table, completely ignoring the hatred and annoying eyes at him.

"Forty-eight thousand taels!"

When Wang Jinghui heard this offer, he couldn't help but lift his head down and drinking tea. It turned out that it was the price he arranged for the child care. "This child care is really interesting! He is brave!" Wang Jinghui then carefully saw that he was a young man with clear edges.

Of course, Xiao Yuanfeng would not take this breath. In anger, he quoted a sky-high price of 60,000 taels. After quoting the price, he also looked at the nursery with contemptuous and provocative eyes.

"Seventy thousand taels!" After hearing this price, Wang Jinghui was also a little surprised: This is too bold!

"Eighty thousand taels!" Xiao Yuanfeng almost made a throat sound, his eyes staring at the nursery like a hungry wolf.

"Ninety thousand taels!" The nurse continued to quote in a tepid voice. Wang Jinghui looked at Mr. Xu in the audience in confusion, but Mr. Xu was also a little stunned. It was obvious that this was not the arrangement made by Mr. Xu, but the nurse was doing what he wanted.

"100,000 taels!" Xiao Yuanfeng stared at the nursery fiercely and once again quoted the highest bidding price.

The nurse took a sip of tea slowly and asked Xiao Yuanfeng: "Master, do you have enough silver to pay the money now?"

Xiao Yuanfeng's eyes stagnated after hearing this, and then said, "In the backyard of Xu's Jewelry Store, I, Xiao, prepared 50,000 taels of silver in advance, but I still have eight night pearls here. I just bought it for 130,000 taels of silver from Lanbaozhai half a month ago. Now I'm priced at 50,000 taels!"

After saying that, Xiao Yuanfeng took out eight longan-eye-sized night pearls from his arms. The waiter next to him put them in a tray and then delivered them to Mr. Hu on the stage. Mr. Hu picked them up one by one and looked carefully and said, "These eight night pearls are indeed something sold to this gentleman in our store, and they are worth 50,000 taels!"

After hearing Mr. Hu's words, there were even whispers in the audience, and Xiao Yuanfeng even gave provocative eyes to the nurse, and there was a mocking expression on the nurse's face, which made Xiao Yuanfeng very annoyed and made Wang Jinghui look at him differently, thinking that he must get to know this young man well in the future.

"Since Mr. Hu has said that, I have no objection. I admire you! I admire you!" The nurse said with a calm expression and clasped her fists to Xiao Yuanfeng.

Xiao Yuanfeng was also stunned when he heard this and said to the nurse indifferently: "Hero!" He just turned his eyes to Manager Li on the stage. Manager Li also woke up after seeing his gaze and said: "Is there anyone else who has a higher price?! One, two, three, deal!"

Xiao Yuanfeng did not show a victory smile on his face. After signing at the stage, he drank the tea filled with the glass in one go. After putting the glass back into the Nanmu box, he left with his companions in a quiet voice. Manager Li said a few words on the stage and ended. The auction process was really exciting, but later Xiao Yuanfeng succeeded in the bidding and left without a word, which disappointed those who were good at it. Only a few people looked at the young man who dared to raise prices with a wealthy rich man in the Liao Kingdom, who had a deep sense of raising prices with Xiao Yuanfeng.

Wang Jinghui found Manager Li and asked him to keep the nurseryman and would meet him later. He himself led the way down to an ordinary flower hall, where the two young men at table No. 6 were sitting. After entering the flower hall, he bowed to the two young men and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, the two young men have been here for a long time! My surname is Wang, and I am the original owner of the glass at this auction."
