The emperor did not like business matters, so no one was in trouble. Only Liu Chun, who was ignorant of death, dared to pull Lao Zhu into business.

Just over two hours in the VIP room, Zhu Yuanzhang witnessed a super crazy bidding game. From initial shock to fear, to numbness, Lao Zhu felt for the first time that maybe money is really not money!

Not only him, including Duke Liang Lan Yu, Duke Cao Li Jinglong, Duke Song Feng Sheng, who had just entered Beijing, these wealthy nobles were also scared by the crazy bidding.

Three hundred and sixty boxes of Pu'er tea were sold for 3,800 taels, and more than ten taels per box were sold. This box was not a pound or half a pound, and there was not even one tael. Only a mere soak was not enough!

Even the Little Dragon Group, which was banned by Lao Zhu, did not have such a terrifying price.

Who knows, this is just the beginning!

Because the next tea leaves are priced in gold.

"Please look, this is a set of 108 boxes of tea. Please see, this time the porcelain vase is the best blue and white, with 108 pictures painted on it. These pictures are selected from 108 famous paintings, which can be called the pinnacle of Chinese calligraphy and painting culture throughout the ages. We have a kind of tea for each painting. Famous tea and famous paintings are not only tea, but also the historical accumulation and cultural baptism of thousands of years. A true nobleman is not about the amount of wealth he has, but about the level of taste. Art masterpieces produced in the East should be able to find Western soulmates... The auction starts below! The starting price is 108 taels... gold!"

Crazy!

Zhu Yuanzhang has only heard that Tianhuangshi is priced in gold for so many years. The first time he heard that tea is priced in gold! And Lao Zhu dared to say that it is ordinary tea, and the porcelain bottles used are the best in folk kilns, which are far from the level of an official kiln.

Two broken things were sold separately, and the tea was worthless at all. More than one hundred broken porcelain bottles might be sold for two or three taels, but when they got together, they made up a set of rhetoric, they immediately had 108 taels of gold!

That kid really dares to ask for a price!

And these fools really dare to bid!

Look, the auction price soon exceeded 1,000 taels, and finally it was frozen at more than 2,700 taels!

gold!

Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea what to say.

At this moment, Liu Chun was deploying arrangements in another room. When he heard that he only bought more than 2,000 taels in the end, he was a little dissatisfied.

"I'm thinking about how to break through three thousand taels!" Liu Chun pondered for a moment and said to Zhang Yu: "Go and tell Hosokawa and let their Japanese merchants bid with them. I don't want any set of tea to be less than five thousand taels!"

Zhang Yu's mouth twitched, and his heart was bleeding. How could this be tea?

Who would be willing to drink a box of more than twenty taels of gold?

He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only inform him.

Liu Chun called Xu Guan again, "You go and tell the Royal Bank that they will send someone to tell the guests participating in the bidding that Royal Bank accepts mortgage loans! For merchants with good credit, they can also provide low-interest and unsecured loans... In short, they should provide them with sufficient money and make them dare to bid!"

...

The story on the field continues, such as the twenty-eight constellations, the eight immortals cross the sea, the eighteen arhats... Every set of tea leaves is breaking through the bottom limit in my heart.

The prices are constantly refreshing, and everyone is crazy. They no longer consider whether it is worth so much money, but have only one idea, that is, they must buy it, no matter how much the price they pay!

Those who watched this auction include the emperor, crown prince, Qin, Yan, Zhou, Wei, Liang, Cao... and Ru Taisu and Liu Sanwu!

The most powerful and knowledgeable people in the entire Ming Dynasty were here, but they were suddenly refreshed by the situation in front of them!

Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, Prince Zhu Biao fell into deep thought, King Zhu of Qin was drooling out of the old man, King Yan Zhu Di tried to keep calm, King Zhou Zhu of Guang left with a silly smile. According to this method of selling, his plan to print books will be realized soon.

The whole auction ended at the first update, and Liu Chun smiled. "Everyone, the tea ceremony culture has a long history. There is good tea, but not without good utensils... Next, there will be a singing and dancing performance, and a batch of exquisite tea sets will be displayed. You can watch it at will. Three days later, it will be a special topic for the tea set auction. Everyone is welcome to participate!"

"And there!"

The people in the VIP room wanted to curse... Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he hummed. This little bastard didn't cheat people enough. One move after another, it would be a pity that you can do it!

"I want to go back to the palace, Prince, go and call that brat, I want to ask!"

Zhu Biao hesitated and said, "Father, it's not appropriate to let Liu Chun enter the palace now. Wait until tomorrow, let him get up early and enter the palace, so that his father can have some rest..."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyelids and said, "Do you see I can sleep? Just make an exception. Let him enter the palace soon. For him, will I make less exceptions?"

Liu Chun was called to the palace.

"Your Majesty, we really didn't sell much. We only auctioned seven sets of tea. Except for the first set priced in silver, the other six sets only bought 53,000 taels of gold, which is really not much!"

"Pooh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he scolded, "Boy, how much do you want to sell? Only your seven sets of tea leaves are not as big as half a tea cake! How much is that pile of wooden boxes and porcelain bottles worth?"

"Your Majesty, there are still jade!" Liu Chun argued.

"You are the cheapest one. Do you think I don't understand? A small jar of green jade will not cost more than three taels of silver!"

Liu Chun said again: "Your Majesty, jade is priceless. Besides, there is gold on it, which is called gold-inlaid jade!"

Old Zhu laughed angrily, "Boy, why is your heart so dark? The golden flowers with big nails don't even have a penny of gold. You're fine, you sold them at a sky-high price of 150 taels per box! You can, you can do it! There is no such thing as you in the entire Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed, and Liu Chun simply lowered his head and said nothing. Anyway, he was used to it... The first time Old Zhu cursed, he was still afraid. Now Liu Chun is not worried about debt, so I don’t believe it. Can you curse for one night?

Sure enough, after cursing for a while, Lao Zhu stopped. He took a few breaths and coughed lightly, "Well... do you think those novice merchants feel fooled? They won't come in the future?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "If you do business, you should pay attention to the real price. If you cheat the barbarians and merchants once, if you don't come in the future, will it be the Ming Dynasty who suffers losses?"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Chun laughed out loud. Lao Zhu scolded himself because he was worried that it would turn into a one-time deal!

"Your Majesty, if I'm right, the barbarians and merchants who have photographed tea are now covered with people. Your Majesty's best to send the Jinyiwei to protect them so as not to steal or rob."

Lao Zhu was confused, "Steal, what are you stealing?"

"Of course it's tea!" Liu Chun smiled and said, "I dare say that someone must have paid several times the price to buy these unparalleled treasures and good teas!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand Liu Chun's bragging. When he was curious, was it really someone who offered a high price as Liu Chun said? He quickly asked someone to go down and ask for it, and waited for half an hour.

The Jinyiwei really sent the news, and indeed the merchant who took pictures of the tea leaves and met the robber. Fortunately, he made arrangements in advance, so he survived.

"You guy is amazing!" Old Zhu said in a muffled voice: "Sure enough, someone snatched it. Do you want to sell more?"

There is no way, Liu Chun is a god-producing thing, and Lao Zhu has to ask for advice.

"Your Majesty, as far as I see, even if I can buy it at a higher price, don't buy it for the time being. At least until next year. The market must be digested, otherwise my trick will not work!"

"trick?"

"Well!" Liu Chun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is the most prosperous and richest country in the world, and is naturally the benchmark for overseas countries. They like the products of the Ming Dynasty and covet our culture and art... Do they know tea? They don't understand it at all! But tea can become a symbol of their identity. The more expensive tea is, the more they can improve their identity, the more they are flocked to it. Money is already secondary. In a word, buy only expensive ones, not the right ones!"

"This is the mentality of those nobles overseas. If we increase sales casually and turn out-of-print treasures into big-line products, the value will soon collapse and no one likes it."

"And the number of upper nobles in overseas countries is limited. If you sell too much at a time, it will exceed their ability to bear it and will also destroy the market..."

Liu Chun smiled and gave Lao Zhu a business story.

"You kid is a profiteer, a complete profiteer!" Zhu Yuanzhang said viciously: "I ask you, why don't you sell it like this after you brought so much goods to Jiangnan? Can you make more money?"

Liu Chun widened his eyes, "Your Majesty, the things I brought are for my own business. Selling tea and other things is overseas business! Of course, the domestic business needs to be genuine, small profits and quick turnover. Overseas business, but you have to make money and squeeze profits. If you use treacherous means to both the inside and the outside, or simply bully your own people and be cheaper outsiders, then I don't even want to do it!"

What Liu Chun said for granted is what he said, what are the questions?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him, stared at him for a full half minute, suddenly stretched out his big hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's still true, you kid still have a little last conscience! Do you know, if you didn't think about your last conscience, I would have chopped off your head long ago!"

Lao Zhu said, poking Liu Chun’s forehead with his finger, which hurts a lot!

The eunuch standing next to him was stunned when he saw this scene!

Good good!

This Lord Liu is so amazing!

There were only a few people who could make Lao Zhu do such a move, including Zhu Biao when he was a child, Princess Hanshan, and the emperor's grandson Zhu Gaochi!

Did Your Majesty see him as his nephew?

The eunuch was surprised, but found that Lao Zhu's face sank and his tone was cold again, "Apart from tea, do you have any other tricks?"

"Yes!" Liu Chun didn't take Lao Zhu's actions seriously, but continued: "I plan to sell tea sets next, and then there are special insurance auctions for porcelain, silk, and cloth. According to my estimate, since it is a bulk shipment, the profit of planting will be ten times that of tea, or even more!"
Chapter completed!
