Chapter 307 Vase

"We France offer four thousand five hundred taels of silver."

How much time has it been, the price has reached this level. Not only Hou Fangyu doesn't believe it, but also some of the errands who serve tea and water here can't believe that what they are saying in front of them is true.

But all the merchants here paid a full deposit. If they shouted indiscriminately, their deposit would be confiscated.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they will not be able to enter the Ming Dynasty in the future. In other words, no matter what happens in the future, you will not be able to do business in the Ming Dynasty.

For these Western businessmen, they may not care about the 1,000 or 100 taels of silver, but they absolutely care about the qualifications to do business in the Ming Dynasty. This qualification is extremely important to them, otherwise why come here?

These days, Isn’t it just to pull away a batch of influential goods from the Ming Dynasty? If it weren’t for these things, why would they risk their lives and death to make a living on the sea?

The final price of the first piece of porcelain was sold for 5,300 taels of silver.

Hou Fangyu happily knocked down the hammer. He thought he couldn't sell it anymore, and maybe he would have to be discounted and promoted in the end.

After all, the court brought this thing with the ability of the court, which was only dozens of taels of silver and the court raised a group of craftsmen. These people were from the court for generations, so they were almost the same as having no cost.

Hou Fangyu still doesn't understand the behavior of His Royal Highness the Prince. We obviously have this kind of official kiln porcelain, but we don't know how many of them were thrown in the warehouse. How many big trucks can be created at will? Why are ten pieces auctioned at a time?

Although Hou Fangyu did not understand this, he was not prepared to violate the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince because he had a blind belief in His Highness. Since the rebellion, all the things that His Highness said have been basically realized.

"Please give us our second auction item now."

After the first auction was sold, Hou Fangyu's speech became much more flexible. This guy himself was an outfielder, so as long as he was allowed to get into the state, he would be able to bring up the atmosphere here soon.

"This blue and white porcelain vase is not often found. It is not too much to use it as a heirloom for medium-sized people. Look at the pattern and then look at the texture..."

Fortunately, Zhang Shenyan did not follow him. If Zhang Shenyan had followed him, he would probably be pissed to death by Hou Fangyu's actions. There is no such thing as a scholar. It is just a money skeleton.

"This is already a sky-high price. In the past, you could buy such a bottle of 400 taels of silver. Now you have to spend 6,000 taels of silver. I'm afraid you will lose money when you go to Europe."

Dutch merchants shook their heads and said, "They are different from the merchants in other countries. They were called sea coachmen in this era, so the transactions they do are profitable."

If they hadn't come here to buy, they wouldn't have come to participate in this auction. The psychological bottom line of Dutch merchants is 5,000 taels of silver. If it exceeds this price, they may not have paid back.

"Six thousand five hundred taels of silver."

A Spanish businessman opened his mouth and said.

This guy looked at the Dutch merchants next to him with contempt. You guys were just driving a boat for them and didn't understand the value contained therein.

Do you think those that were transported back in the past are official kiln porcelains or official kiln porcelains?

All the ones you transported back were smuggled, which means that this time without royal certification will have a history, and there will be a piece of paper with official official documents from the Ming Dynasty, which can be sold for 3,000 taels of silver.

So the Spanish businessman made a bid without hesitation.

"Six thousand eight hundred taels of silver."

Although the Portuguese merchants could not think of some of these things, they understood one thing: as long as the Spanish merchants bid, it means that this thing will definitely be profitable. During the long-term colonial activities, they also followed the Spanish throughout the world.

Although they suffered a lot in the middle, they took a lot of advantages, so at this auction, although they did not understand this thing, they firmly believed in a creed that they would not suffer any losses if they followed the Spanish.

"What a fool. I thought I had bought some treasure and went back to wait until you couldn't sell it. Just hold the bottle and cry. I guess you don't have the strength to buy it at all. I'm afraid the money was borrowed."

The Dutch businessman said contemptuously.

"I borrowed it and snatched it. It seems that it has nothing to do with you, but now this thing is mine. I can tell you clearly that if you don't have a piece of Chinese porcelain on your hands, don't regret it after you arrive in Europe."

The Portuguese merchant bought the second one for 6,800 taels of silver.

Hou Fangyu was so excited that he was almost speechless. It turned out that when Zhu Cixuan told him this rule, he felt that no one would want it. Now it seems that the lowest price is set a little low.

The remaining goods were sold at a price of 7,000 to 8,000 taels, which was not very outrageous, but even so, the court received a full 60,000 taels of silver for these ten pieces of porcelain alone.

Compared with the tea auction, the amount of the auction this time was not very large. Of course, everyone was just starting to be excited at this moment. They were all looking at what royal porcelain was.

The Dutch merchants bid more conservatively, and the main reason is that they want to compete for the last royal porcelain.

In their opinion, what is it for you to buy some official kiln porcelain? When I bring the royal porcelain back, I will immediately overwhelm your limelight. No matter how exquisite your porcelain is, it is not as good as my royal porcelain.

Moreover, the big boss of the Dutch East India Company has sent a message. No matter what the price, he must buy this royal porcelain.

The birthday of the Queen of Dutch is soon. If they can dedicate this thing to the Queen of Dutch, it would be much better than giving money directly. Everyone knows that the Queen of Dutch favorite goods from the Ming Dynasty.

Just when they were full of doubts, several servants carried two large boxes from behind, and the height was higher than that of people, which meant that these two pieces of porcelain were very huge.
