"Next, we will begin the auction for the second glass cup. The starting bid is ten thousand taels of silver, and each increment must not be lower than one thousand taels of silver.”
"I bid eleven thousand taels!"
"I bid twelve thousand taels!"
"I bid fifteen thousand taels!"
"I bid eighteen thousand taels!"
……
When it came to the second glass, the effect was obviously not as good as the first glass.
The merchants began to lower their bids, and the final starting price was not as high as the first one. It was only sold for 190,000 taels.
Because the merchants had come to their senses.
This was the first time that an auction had been held, and it made the merchants 'blood boil. They had never experienced such a crazy buying method before, so the bids were ridiculous.
However, after the first glass was sold, the merchants calmed down and gradually began to adapt to this auction method. The bidding also began to stabilize.
All the merchants present were cunning foxes, and they were very sensitive to the flow of money.
Even so, the second glass cup was still sold for a sky-high price of 190,000 taels.
The price was much lower than the first glass, but it was already nineteen times the base price.
Before Zhu Zhi came, his plan was to sell the 50 glasses for 500,000 taels.
This price was already very ridiculous, but the merchants were not satisfied.
Why is such a good thing only sold for 500,000 taels? It's not enough, I have to pay more!
In front of him, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai." One is willing to beat, the other is willing to suffer." Today, there was a Liao King who cheated merchants." One is willing to cheat, and the other is willing to be cheated."
The 50 glasses were auctioned off one by one, from dawn to dusk.
"Now, the last glass cup will be auctioned. The starting bid is ten thousand taels of silver, and each increment must not be lower than one thousand taels of silver.”
"I bid fifteen thousand taels!"
"I offer twenty thousand taels!"
"I offer thirty thousand taels!"
"I bid fifty thousand taels!"
……
"I bid 470,000 taels!"
"470,000 going once."
"470,000 going twice."
"470,000 going thrice."
"Alright, let us congratulate this person for buying the last glass cup at the price of 470,000 taels!”
No one was willing to give up on the last glass. In the end, the price was raised to 470,000 taels.
This was an auction with ups and downs. From the madness in the beginning, to the calmness in the middle, to the fanaticism in the end, it was an outrageous existence from the beginning to the end.
"Have you recorded everything?" Zhu Zhi whispered to Guo Ming, who was in charge of recording behind him.
"It's all recorded."
"How much did you sell it for?"
"A total of 5.44 million taels…"
"F * ck…the merchants of Peace Peace Manor are really rich.”
Hearing this number, even Zhu Zhi could not help but exhale.
Five million taels!
Guo Ming was numb now. At first, his brain was still a little confused, but in the end, he was numb.
Five million taels?
What kind of concept was that?
The military expenditure of Liaodong for five years was only so much!
And how much was the cost?
The cost of five hundred glasses was only forty taels, so he would calculate it as fifty taels. The cost of selling fifty glasses was only five taels.
More than a million times the profit?
This, this was too absurd!
"Cough cough, today's auction ends here.”
Zhu Zhi couldn't hide the smile on his face and said,""I see that everyone has won at least one glass cup. In that case, this king is also very happy.”
"Yes, it's all thanks to His Highness 'brilliant plan."”
"What a brilliant plan. Not only did it allow wangye to earn money, but it also made us happy.”
"That's right, I've lived for more than 50 years, but this is the first time I've enjoyed myself so much.”
"The next time there's an auction, your highness can't forget about us.”
Zhu Zhi nodded and said," This King has already recorded the contents of this auction. Tomorrow, I'll have people visit every house to pay the money and deliver the goods."”
"It's already late, this king won't accompany you.”
Everyone hurriedly stood up and respectfully sent him off.”
"Take care, Your Highness!"
……
When they left the Intoxicated Flower Restaurant, Guo Ming, who had been holding back his words, finally asked,""Your Highness, why are these merchants so happy when the price is so shocking?”
"Happy? Of course they're happy!"
"They spent five million taels of silver to buy these 50 glasses from me. Do you believe that they can sell them to all parts of Ming Dynasty for eight million taels of silver?" Zhu Zhi said faintly.”
"This, this is impossible. Who would buy it?”Guo Ming was shocked.
"Of course, there will be people who will buy it.”Zhu Zhi said," This is a win-win situation. If they are happy, I am happy too."”
"In less than half a year, the word glass will be popular in Da Ming, and everyone will know the existence of glass.”
"Once fermented, the value of the item will rise, and the buyer will naturally come.”
"Ah?" "Then why don't we sell it to the higher bidder ourselves?" Guo Ming asked.”
"How can all the money in the world be earned by one person?”
Zhu Zhi smiled and said,"If this king earned this money alone, the price wouldn't have risen so high." Be content. With a cost of five taels, he had earned more than five million taels.”
