Chapter 258: Young Master Duanmu
Sitting in this room, you won’t feel bored at all.
There is even a faint fragrance of osmanthus in the house, refreshing the heart.
Qi Yan looked at everything in front of her quietly, and her suspicion became heavier and heavier.
Because, the auction venue here is more like a modern indoor basketball court.
The room she was in was the audience seat. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling glass, the not-so-small auction hall could be seen clearly.
If you can't see clearly, don't worry. If you have any doubts, you can apply to watch the intentional jade at close range.
It’s just that you need to pay attention to protecting yourself, wearing a mask, wearing a long cloak, and then watching it is the best.
Without waiting for too long, Xiaoyu came back. All the food needed in the room was delivered by her in person.
Qi Yan has a perspective left eye, so even if the distance is a little far, she can see clearly the quality of the jade inside the stones on the auction table.
"Dear guests, welcome to Liujiang City, Southern Jin. Here, Duanmu Trading Company temporarily thanks the guests on behalf of the royal family of Southern Jin!"
After saying that, he bent down and performed the highest etiquette of Southern Jin to his guests.
Ye Chen whispered in Qi Yan's ear, "This young man is the young owner of Duanmu Trading Company and the next head of the Duanmu family. His name is Duanmu Fan. He is 20 years old. Not long ago, he got married to the 11th princess of the Southern Jin royal family. Now he is Master Fuma."
"Eleven Princess?"
Qi Yan blinked, this King of Southern Jin was really good.
There are not so many princesses in Dayan.
Qi Yan complained in her heart that Ye Chen didn't know. Ye Chen then introduced, "Although Duanmu Fan was a horseman, he was a master of business skills. After marrying the Eleventh Princess, he convinced the royal family of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and then the Liujiang Auction was found. To be precise, Nan Jin probably discovered that the horseman who was in business was beneficial to them. And the ready-made examples were already available in Dayan."
This teasing tone made Qi Yan cover her mouth and chuckle, "How could I hear the sourness in your tone?"
"I just think that being an emperor is really not easy. If you don't have money, you will be restrained from doing anything. If you don't take charge of the troops and can't even sit on the dragon throne, how can you talk about pacifying the world and being prosperous and the people!"
Qi Yan listened to what Ye Chen complained.
However, she did not respond to Ye Chen's words.
Because, no response is needed.
Ye Chen's words have already revealed the difficulties of the emperor.
The Ministry of Revenue has control over money, but there are too many places to use these money.
I can hardly afford to spend money, and I yell that I am poor every day. It is difficult to let the Ministry of Revenue spit out the money.
Therefore, Emperor Yan loved Yang Cheng so much.
Because he is attached to Yang Cheng, he can solve his urgent needs.
Of course, although Yang Cheng, who is not always willing to agree to him, is much easier to get along with than the stubborn old men of the Ministry of Revenue.
Off the stage, Duanmu Fan put his posture very low, which made people feel good. After introducing the auction rules, he began to show the first item directly.
On the stage, a piece of jade as tall as him opened a window, revealing a light purple jade color.
Qi Yan narrowed her eyes, "Purple Fei?"
It's indeed amazing.
This first item is the scarce purple jade.
You should know that the first three items in the auction must seize all the eyeballs of the auctioneers and arouse their competitive spirit.
Although the price of purple jade is more valuable than that of black jade, its value is not cheap.
Therefore, when Duanmu Fan shouted out the price, he started from 30,000 taels.
Each price increase is no less than one thousand taels.
As a result, someone started quoting soon.
Only then did Qi Yan realize that everyone's room has a number and the quoted ones were done by the waiter in the room.
First, it is to ensure the safety of merchants in the house, and second, it is to avoid the opportunity to show their faces.
With such comprehensive confidentiality, many businessmen also reassured that they began to raise prices.
The food, the wine, and the atmosphere are even fresh.
Businessmen have even more motivation to compete with each other!
"No. 91, 32,000 taels!"
"No. 53, 35,000 taels!"
"No. 66, 36,000 taels!"
"No. 38, forty thousand taels!"
"No. 21, forty thousand taels!"
"No. 79, forty-three thousand taels!"
...
Qi Yan was not interested in this purple jade, although it was half-betted jade.
But what she wanted was not a small profit. On the contrary, what she wanted was a way to make small money and then make big money. This piece of purple jade did not meet her requirements.
So, Qi Yan calmly picked up the vegetables for Ye Chen, and then took a sip of fragrant rice wine by herself. The rice wine was sweet and delicious.
Qi Yan was so greedy that she drank a few more drinks.
After drinking, her cheeks flushed.
Seeing that she was going to pour wine again, Ye Chen hurriedly stopped her, "Don't drink so urgently, this wine has the potential."
"Then I'll drink it later."
Qi Yan smiled at him.
The purple jade in the audience has already called for a high price of 74,000 taels.
In the end, it was taken by a distinguished guest on the 18th.
When he heard about the 18th, Qi Yan raised her eyebrows and said that she was the 19th room.
In other words, is Room 18 next door to your room?
She is now in Room 19, and Qi Yan waved to Xiaoyu, "Is Room 18 next to you?"
"No."
Xiaoyu shook her head, "Miss, I don't know that the room numbers of our Duanmu Auction House are all in a mess. All rooms with consecutive numbers will not be adjacent. This is also to avoid the trouble of being disturbed."
"Dunmu Trading Company is really good at doing business."
Qi Yan praised her.
I have to say that Duanmu Trading Company has done a very good job in confidentiality.
Xiaoyu has become blessed, "The girl has other instructions. You can ask me and tell me that I will serve you with all my heart."
"Go to get three more jars of fragrant rice bars, this wine is delicious."
Qi Yan ordered.
Mo Huan looked at the price aside, then took out five taels of gold ingots and handed them to Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu took the gold ingot with a smile, "I'll go prepare wine now."
Qi Yan was very satisfied with Mo Huan's intelligence, and her attention continued to return to the auction table.
The second piece of jade is Yang green half-gambling jade, and the size is twice as big as Duanmufan.
After another battle, it was finally sold for 80,000 taels.
The third piece was illuminating. It turned out to be a two-color jade, and the price was directly raised to 130,000 taels.
The preheating site has reached the boiling point, and Duanmu Fan has used his special skills. His mouth can really mobilize the atmosphere.
Then the following auction rules, I have to say, are indeed innovative.
For Ye Chen, it was a huge impact.
But Qi Yan was a person from that era, and she had never seen any moves.
Especially when she heard Duanmu Fan's words, she would even hear Duanmu Fan's tongue and occasionally made modern words, and she felt more and more determined. Duanmu Fan should be from the same world as her!
