How Fragrant!()
The squires all had the same idea, they wanted to collude and then lower the price.
However, Lu Zhi did not give them a chance and auctioned it on the spot!
Moreover, there was only one chance. If he missed it, there would be no more!
Therefore, even though they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten sh * t, they still shouted that it smelled good while bidding.
"Cough cough, everyone, this is my first time doing something like this.”
Xiao He slowly walked up to the front desk. Although he was not afraid, he was still a little nervous. He coughed twice and said," If anything goes wrong, please forgive me." Then, the first 500 shares will be auctioned at a starting price of 1 gold.”
"Hiss!"
The squires almost cursed out loud. They opened their mouths and asked for a gold coin! Your sister!
One gold was worth 10,000!
Also, by the way…
Since ancient times, the main currency in China was copper coins, followed by gold.
Even though China was vast, it was not a country that produced silver. Before the Ming Dynasty, the main currency was copper coins. Gold and silver were used as precious metals and were not circulated in the market.
During the Ming Dynasty, due to the development of sea trade and export, coupled with the discovery of America by the Europeans, a large amount of American silver poured into China through the route from Mexico to Manila, causing the amount of silver in the market to increase greatly. This made it possible for silver to be used as a common currency in the market.
From then on, silver became the main currency of the Celestial Empire, while copper coins became secondary.
In fact, up until the Song Dynasty, the measurement unit of the court's income was how many strings of copper coins, not how many taels of silver.
Strictly speaking, a copper coin was equivalent to one tael of silver.
However, because there was too little silver and it was not circulated enough, they used copper coins instead of one tael of silver.
As for Yi Guan copper coins, it was about a thousand. Sometimes, it was only 700 yuan, and sometimes, it was even 1,200 or 1,300 yuan. It all changed with the price of goods.
But now, it was only the Qin Dynasty. Silver could be used as decorations and valuables, but not as currency.
Therefore, gold was the top coin and copper was the bottom coin.
If someone used silver to make a deal, they would have to arrest him!
Even for these squires, gold was usually used for inheritance, and they usually used copper coins.
But now, the Lu family had offered one gold coin, so they had no choice but to buy it!
"I bid one gold!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Then, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and then, it exploded.
"One gold, one thousand!"
"One gold for five thousand!"
The local squires usually had a few hundred gold coins.
Those who were slightly richer were worth thousands of gold.
For example, the county magistrate had more than 1,000 gold stolen by Fang Tianfeng.
Moreover, this was not all of his assets. It was only snatched away by Fang Tianfeng. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. The county magistrate had only robbed one of the caves, but there were still two more!
In other words, the county magistrate's family had tens of thousands of gold!
And in this room, every family's wealth was more than a thousand gold!
Moreover, he needed 5,000 shares to obtain the technology and truly squeeze into the upper echelons!
Therefore, each of them had to successfully auction at least ten times!
Therefore, the competition became more intense the further they went. However, these squires were not all fools. They knew what it meant to stop while they were ahead, and they also knew that they could not let the profiteers of the Lu family benefit.
Therefore, when fighting, one should stop while they were ahead.
In the end, all 50,000 shares were sold.
The Song family had 7,000 shares, the other four had 5,000 shares, and the Wang family had 1,000 shares.
The other forty-four clans shared the benefits equally, each with five hundred shares.
The 50,000 shares had been auctioned 100 times, and the average price of each auction was 100 Gold. In total, he had earned 10000 Gold!
The Lu family had suddenly transformed from a dilapidated family into a local elite!
Forget about the locals, 10,000 gold coins would make him a top noble and celebrity anywhere!
Although 10,000 gold seemed like a lot, it was actually a loss.
If he wanted to sell paper, he would have to sell 20 million pieces of paper to earn back his capital.
This was destined to be a long-term matter.
However, as long as they did it, they would earn ten times, or even a hundred times more!
Even if they couldn't do it halfway, they could still sell their shares to others. There were many people in the world who wanted this benefit.
Today, he could buy 500 shares for 100 gold, but tomorrow, he could sell them for thousands of gold!
A family only had a few hundred gold. It seemed foolish to use a fraction of their savings to buy a share, but it was necessary.
It was an investment. Only when there was risk could it be called an investment. Only when there was gambling could it be called an investment.
If he didn't gamble, he wouldn't lose, but he definitely wouldn't win. If he gambled, he might lose, but he might also win.
And the paper business was definitely profitable!
However, in the end, only nine families were qualified to know the technical secrets.
Three county magistrates, five major families, and Lu family members.
In the end, the price of the paper was set.
The toilet paper was the cheapest. It cost one yuan per roll and was sold to everyone.
This kind of paper was really too soft. Even if he used a ballpoint pen to write, he could not read it clearly. If you were to use a brush to write, you can imagine how impossible it would be.
Moreover, the toilet paper would also be reduced to the size of a palm. After all, its purpose was to do that.
One roll for one coin was mainly to make it affordable for ordinary people.
It was not to serve the public, but to earn more money!
This price was actually very fair. One roll of paper was enough for a person to use for several days. A person's daily meals cost three yuan, so it was reasonable for one yuan to be used for a few days.
There were 30 million people in the country, and each of them could earn 3,000 gold coins!
Even if it was 50/50, it would still be 1,500 gold, and it would be long-term! He had to buy it at least once a week!
Thinking about it, would they still think that this was a loss?
Was 10,000 Gold a lot?
He would earn it back in a few months, but it would take two to three years or even five to six years to promote this paper to the whole country.
However, as long as he could survive these few years, he would be able to make a lot of money!
The squires were not stupid. They were immediately surrounded by Lu Zhi's flatbread and were all motivated.
But at the same time, when they looked at Lu Zhi, their eyes became even more fearful.
This woman was too scary. He could never do business with them in the future.
"Alright, uncles, the auction is over. Please eat and drink well.”
Lu Zhi smiled slightly, bowed and was about to leave.
Then, everyone who was still in a good mood began to eat happily.
Then, they noticed that there were two small bowls with white crystals on the table.
He couldn't help but try it out with his hands out of curiosity. One was sweet, and the other was salty. Moreover, the taste was very pure!
" Cough cough, that, Master Lu, this thing…"
"If uncles want it, I can sell it to you.”
"Cough cough, no need, no need. Let's eat.”
"Yes, yes, let's eat."
