【091】Auction grand occasion
"Oh, isn't this Brother Wang? I didn't expect to see Brother Wang in this small place. Brother Wang also came for that book?"
"Hahaha, it turns out it's Brother Zhao. You are quite well-informed. Isn't it just for the book? We have to read the book you read, right?"
"What I said is, what I said is, actually, I also want to see people. I heard that they are talented women who came to the earth from Wenquxing, hehe..."
"Don't talk nonsense, that person has passed down a message. You can ask for a book, but if you dare to cause trouble, Chi Xuanjun will go to your house and knock on the door!"
Most of the people who can come to Xikuang Painting Museum to seek books are well-informed people, and these people know each other in groups. When they get together, they quickly test each other, and at the same time they can communicate with each other.
"Below is He Guan, the shopkeeper of Xikuang Painting Museum. Welcome all guests who come from afar. There are a total of ten lots in this auction, namely, 10% off, 20% off, and 60% off the purchase rights of a series of books "Xiaobai's Sleeping Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Walking Comes Here, 100 guests from the shopkeepers of the book. You can choose the best items for you to auction. Now it's half a quarter of an hour to ask questions. Please ask if you have any questions." He Guan stood in front and said in a loud voice. These words were taught by the little boss.
"What? What is 100% off? What is an auction? Why have you never heard of it?"
"I just sell books. Why do I still do so many tricks that I feel a little dizzy!"
"Can you enjoy this right to purchase goods in the future?"
Everyone had questions, and He Guan also explained patiently. In fact, these are easy to understand. They just found five shops that can sell books and sold more than 100 books. The methods were different. They not only had the sense of competition, but also allowed these buyers to choose a more suitable method, although the range of this choice was not large.
"Shopkeeper He, do you think the series of books "Xiaobai's Sleeping Walking" mean, is there another one?"
"Yes, not only is there a second part, but there may be more, so this auction of the purchase rights is definitely very suitable." He Guan replied with a smile.
"Then what is your purchase price?" The merchants are pursuing profits, and those who can come here from all over the world are either for fame or for profit.
In fact, these people would not have participated in the auction so honestly, but since the Master of the Qu family was imprisoned, everyone has calmed down. A royal merchant arrested him as soon as he said he could. These people may not be better than the Qu family.
"The purchase price varies according to the sales price. As for the sales price, it is to be determined." This is what the little boss taught him. Regarding various issues, the boss wrote a order for him, which was particularly detailed.
"If this is too high, wouldn't we suffer a loss?" someone asked worriedly.
"You are too worried about this customer. After all, the right to purchase goods is up to you. If you think it is expensive, you can not buy it." He Guan continued to explain with a smile, as if the volunteers took the bait, they did not guarantee anything, which was very annoying.
In fact, He Guan was a little relieved, but when he thought of the remarkable rumors from the outside world, he felt a little at ease. He looked very calm on his face, at least it was enough to be fooled.
Everyone was speechless and asked a few more questions, the auction officially began. However, before the filming started, He Guan specifically reminded him: "You guys also know that our Xikuang Painting Museum is a small painting museum. The things sold, whether they are calligraphy or painting, are just ordinary things. For example, the "Xiaobai's Sleeping Journey" sold this time, was written by our boss for children. It was called children's reading by our boss. It is not a strange book. If you are willing to bid, you must be mentally prepared."
This is a reminder to everyone, don’t be angry and really think this is an auction of strange books.
"And our art gallery also sells books. The price of this book can be high or low. The first batch of books we sold is only ten taels of silver per book. So when you bid, please grasp the standards and don't really do a loss business. Our art gallery will not be responsible at that time." This means, don't buy high-priced books. If you don't accept it, come to us. We are not responsible!
Everyone looked at each other. What kind of seller is this? After saying so many unpleasant words, do you still want to do a good job in business!
"Well, since you have no objection, the auction will begin. The first auction item is "Xiaobai's Sleeping Journey", which is a children's book. The author is our boss. The base price is ten taels of silver. Each increase must not be less than one tael. Please start bidding." He Guan wiped his sweat in his heart and smiled under pressure.
The venue was silent, and everyone sat on the small stool, looking at He Guan with special disgust. He Guan's smile was a little stiff, and he spoke tentatively: "If you don't bid, I will announce that it will be a failure?"
The first item was sold out. I wonder if the little boss will deduct his salary. These people are really here to buy books, so why don’t they speak!
"Well, who said no one wants it? I'll pay twenty taels!" Hearing He Guan's words, someone offered a offer. They didn't dislike the book, but they disliked the price too low. Who would have to pay the price to be 180 taels of silver? The shouts of dozens of taels and dozens of taels all felt that the price was lost.
"Fifty taels." After twenty taels, he jumped directly to fifty taels.
"One hundred taels." Isn't it doubled, as if no one can do it.
He Guan was a little troubled. He sold a book for 100 taels. How much money would it cost to sell a hundred books? But He Guan was too worried about this. For some people, a hundred books may not be more valuable than a book.
"Two hundred taels." In this way, the bid has not stopped.
Ning Yunxi was naturally at this auction, but she had been sitting in the corner behind the screen, and outsiders could not see her, but she could hear the sounds from the outside world. When she heard two hundred taels, Ning Yunxi took the initiative to say: "Then this book will be sold to this guest who bid two hundred taels."
After Ning Yunxi finished speaking, everyone looked at the screen. He Guan said cleverly: "The boss has something to say, two hundred taels of money will be sold out. Congratulations to this guest."
"Ah? It's mine, hahaha, thank you, thank you, thank you for your boss." The guest was stunned at first, and then smiled happily. He was not happy because he spent less money, but because he felt that he had received preferential treatment, so he was very happy.
"You are polite. Next, we will auction the second one, ten copies of "Xiaobai's Sleeping Walking Story", with a minimum price of 100 taels, and each bid must not be less than one tael. Please bid." He Guan changed his mind and immediately started the second auction, without giving those who have opinions at all.
Several dissatisfied guests glared at He Guan, but could only participate in the second auction. You should know that several owners who are not short of money are waiting to pay a high price to buy books in the end. Now they don’t even have the opportunity to play for them. How disappointing!
"One hundred and one tael!" Humph, since he didn't buy it at a high price, he would buy it at a low price, as if anyone wanted to spend money!
Everyone looked at the man who looked angry and only offered one hundred and one taels. Some were confused, while some were suddenly enlightened.
"Look at your expression, do you know this person?" someone asked in a low voice to the people around him.
"Hahaha, I know you. This is a very famous master in our place. Although he is in the restaurant business, he likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, but he has one problem."
"What's wrong?"
"I especially like to be petty and do things with him, otherwise he will especially like to have a quarrel with you."
“…”
Sure enough, this person insisted on increasing the price by one or one liang in the subsequent bid. If he was stingy, he would also shout when he shouted five or six hundred liang, but if he was generous, the other people looked at this person with something wrong.
"Seven hundred and one tael!"
"He Guan!" Ning Yunxi spoke again at this moment. He Guan immediately understood what she meant and said, "Seven hundred and one taels, congratulations to this master for making ten copies of "Xiaobai's Sleepy Travels"!"
"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly, but there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, a little arrogant and childish, which made everyone around him laugh, but there was less tension when fighting.
The auction continued, twenty, fifty and one hundred copies of "Xiaobai's Sleeping Walking Story" were sold at 1,000 taels, 1,200 taels and 1,500 taels respectively. Ning Yunxi shouted to stop and did not give this group of men with money and no place to spend money to spend their money, which made everyone feel unsatisfied.
"I said, Mr. Xikuang, it's fine if you don't show up, why does it affect us to shoot things? The auction is not very authentic!" He was so straightforward that he couldn't help but protest, but judging from that relaxed tone, it was just a funny thing.
Ning Yunxi heard the man calling him, walked out indifferently, stood not far from He Guan, and said, "It's good that the money is enough, there's too much, I'm afraid you won't want to come next time."
Although Ning Yunxi's tone was faint, she said a joke, and everyone was stunned and then laughed.
"Come on, why didn't you come? Even if you look at the young talented young literary girl from Daxia, you have to come." Someone immediately agreed and also complimented Ning Yunxi.
But what the hell is the young talented girl in Wenqu? When did she have another nickname?
"I dare not be a literati, but I am just a literati who likes to write stories. Please continue to auction." Ning Yunxi gave He Guan a look, and He Guan immediately said: "The next five auctions will be auctioned with a series of purchase rights in "Xiaobai's Sleeping Journey". Now the purchase rights are 100% off, with a minimum price of 1,000 taels of silver. Each increase is no less than 100 taels. Please bid."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became serious again, especially several of them, who had been lazy in the first few games, but now they sat upright, looking as if they were waiting for the battle.
"One thousand two hundred taels!" someone immediately called out.
"Hahaha, how enough is it to add two hundred taels? I'll pay one thousand five hundred taels!"
"Two thousand taels!"
"…two thousand two hundred taels!"
There were many bidders, but some people still didn't move, probably because they looked down on the 10% discount auction. In the end, the 10% discount purchase rights were sold by a boss named Qian for 25 million yuan. This time, Ning Yunxi did not interrupt again.
"The next is the first auction of a series of books with 20% discount on purchase rights for a series of books in "Xiaobai's Sleeping Journey". The base price is 2,000 taels of silver, and the price increase shall not be less than 100 taels per time. Please bid."
The purchase rights were sold for 20% off for two times, and finally sold for 4,500 taels and 4,800 taels respectively, while the purchase rights were sold for 70% off for 6,700 taels.
"The last lot of this auction will be auctioned below, which is the 60% off purchase rights for a series of books in "Xiaobai's Sleeping Journey". The base price of this lot is 5,000 taels of silver, and the price increase shall not be less than 500 taels per time. Please bid."
While the three words "Please bid" were dropped, some of the people in the field showed a sure win. When bidding for a 70% discount on the purchase rights, these people didn't even move, which was enough to show their purpose and ambitions.
"Six thousand taels!" This guy was probably throwing bricks and jade, and then someone called out eight thousand taels!
Ning Yunxi looked at all this and said to Xiao Niba in confusion: "Can the people here be so rich?"
"...Master, congratulations, we are really rich this time!" Xiao Niba was very happy. It didn't have so many doubts, only knowing that it was really rich this time.
Ning Yunxi smiled, and the person who shouted for the price had already reached 8,500 taels, and the price was still being increased.
"Ten thousand taels!" An old man who had never called for a price, shouted in a suffocating voice, and the scene immediately became quiet. A few of them seemed to want to call for a price, and finally remained silent.
Ning Yunxi looked at the old man. By chance, the old man was looking at her, and both sides nodded, saying hello.
He Guan was also very eye-catching. Seeing this scene, he immediately called for confirmation and sold the last lot. "Congratulations to this customer for the last lot of this auction for 10,000 taels, and became the most sincere partner of our Xikuang Painting Museum."
After the auction ended, some people left, but some people were unwilling to leave. In addition to wanting to say something to Ning Yunxi, some of them were going to concentrate on reading the paintings.
"Mr. Xikuang, old Xu Jieren, I wonder if I can talk to Mr. Xikuang alone?" The old man, who was particularly imposing and seemed to have a special status, came to Ning Yunxi as expected, and the rest gave way.
"Of course, old sir, please!" Ning Yunxi smiled faintly, and was already waiting.
Chapter completed!
