Xinfeng Auction House was held at two o'clock on February 2, 14th year of Yongzhi in the newly built "Star Picking Building". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere were about 300 people who participated in the auction. At this time, Pu Shu, the big shopkeeper of Xinfeng, opened his mouth to give a welcome speech, which was clearly transmitted to all parts of the building. The guests in the building were quite shocked.

Feel the strength of the Xinfeng.

The design, construction and decoration of the Star Picking Building are not as described by the "Key Account Manager" who is assigned to the VIPs, but is a beautified slogan to increase the confidence of customers in Xinfeng Auction House.

The real situation is: Jia Huan proposed the idea, and then Jia Zheng's disciple Shan Ziye provided technical support, and then Jia Huan ordered Jia Qiang to select the site, and the construction team under the jurisdiction of Xianheng Commercial Bank built it in two months in the month of Layue and the first month.

The appearance of the Star Tower is an oval to be exact, resembling a miniature version of a football field. Of course, in the middle of the football field is the lawn, the playing field, and the top is mostly open. The Star Picking Tower is closed.

The oval-shaped architectural pattern extends in all directions to ensure the confidentiality of the guests' identities to the greatest extent and do not interfere with each other.

In the building, it is surrounded by a three-sided ring posture, surrounding the auction venue. There are three levels of seating: the pantry in the lobby, the private room on the second floor (30 rooms), and the premium box on the third floor (6 rooms). At this time, if you look at it from the perspective of the shopkeeper, you will face an arc-shaped three-story auditorium.

It should be emphasized that for the seats in the hall, each participating auctioneer needs to pay 500 taels of silver as a deposit; The private room on the second floor has a deposit of 3,000 taels of silver; The deposit on the third floor is 10,000 taels. After the auction is completed, the refund will be made after deducting the transaction amount.

Xinfeng provides corresponding financial services!

Shopkeeper Pu read the welcome speech in his mind (which seemed a little strange to him) according to the script, and continued: "In view of the fact that there are many new guests here. In the following moments, I will briefly introduce the auction rules of Xinfeng. Detailed rules, brochure for each seat......"

The Xinfeng auction house built by Jia Huan is no different from the rules of modern auction houses. The Zhou Dynasty did not need to issue access qualifications. To establish an auction house, the core resources are: power and connections. The second is silver, goods, talents, etc.

Jia Huan used fifty percent of the share capital of perfume to borrow 50,000 taels of silver from the money bank of the Wang family, a Hui merchant, and went out to fill the hole in Jia Yu, and there were 17,000 taels left. He scraped together 20,000 taels of silver as the starting capital of the auction house.

Note that the property attribute. The Xinfeng is Jia Huan's private property. He's going to charge a fee. And the auction income of Jia Yu's antiques, calligraphy and paintings is the income of Jiafu Gongzhong. Of course, Jia Huan is now in charge of Jiafu, and he will subsidize Jiafu's public account to tide over this financial crisis.

However, there are some rules that must be established and clearly defined at the outset. lest you get messed up and entangled in the future.

…

After the shopkeeper Pu finished speaking, the first group of auctions was immediately conducted. In a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo, eight beautiful women wearing white elegant ink-style long-sleeved cheongsams walked out in a row. In the Star Picking Tower, a burst of surprise suddenly sounded!

Today, the Star Picking Building shows a total of three kinds of "fancy costumes". The first type is a cyan suit uniform. template, please refer to the uniform beauties in hotels and banks above four stars. The highlight is the modification of the curve of the legs and hips of the beauty in the slim-fitting trousers.

The second type is a long blue dress. template, please refer to the office girl or school girl with a youthful style. The highlight, the long skirt with a corset waist highlights the slender waist of the beauty, which is easy to remind the guests: the allusion to the thin waist of the king of Chu.

The third is the ink-style long-sleeved cheongsam at this time. It goes without saying how the cheongsam highlights the beauty of women: the breasts are firm and the buttocks are upturned, and the figure is moving.

There is no doubt that these three new styles of clothing have attracted enough attention today. Often, eyeball marketing can achieve great business results.

The only thing that stands out from the ordinary about these three types of clothing is the shoes. In ancient times, a woman's feet were not allowed to be seen by anyone other than her husband. The hem of their skirt usually covers their shoes. The rest of the scales are not as good as in the teaching department.

In the private room on the second floor, the king of Chu, who did not show his identity, looked at the cheongsam beauty at the front desk through the bright glass, his eyes lit up, he shook the folding fan, and said to the king of Dongping County: "This is a little interesting!" ”

The King of Dongping County smiled slightly and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Jia Ziyu has put some thought into it. Otherwise, those rotten people in Shilin may not be willing. "He came to the auction today to see a set of jade cups listed on the invitation. Worth about 2,000 taels.

The King of Chu snapped the jade fan and laughed: "What do they know?" The dust of history is just that! I heard that the atmosphere in Jiangnan is open, and it is common for women to enter the silk factory to support their families. Pointing to the cheongsam beauty on the stage, he said, "It's that the sect is more daring than this." However, there is no such garment to the eye. It is worthy of Tanhualang! ”

"Haha." The king of Dongping raised his head and laughed, raised his glass and drank with the king of Chu.

The king of Dongping and Jiafu were on good terms. received an invitation from Jia Huan, and there happened to be something he was interested in, so he came over to cheer.

As for the King of Chu, he was here to observe Jia Huan and look for an opportunity to contact Jia Huan.

The battle for succession has secretly begun. Both he and King Jin noticed that Jia Huan, who played an important role in the process of "toppling the prince". He asked Zhou Shenxing to help invite Jia Huan to Jingyuan for a banquet last time, but he didn't get a response from Jia Huan.

…

Xinfeng Auction House starts the auction at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and ends at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. A total of ten sets of auctions were conducted. The total amount of the auction reached 16,000 taels. The handling fee is tiered: between 2% and 15%. The total is about 5,000 taels.

In the distinguished box on the third floor, seven or eight gorgeously dressed Jin merchants got up one after another and talked to each other. The average age is around forty years old.

Lu Chengji was thinking about how much Jia Huan had earned in this auction. The handling fee alone is a lot of money. And what about the catering consumption of these more than 300 people? at least 1,000 taels of silver. Jia Tanhua is still a good skill.

Lu Yong, the leader of the Jin merchants, filled out the "opinion form" and saw the account manager ask, "Commander Lu, do you want to go to the tea room to drink tea and communicate with other guests." ”

Lu Yong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the auction house to have so many routines and tricks, he had just auctioned a piece of jade, and he just wanted to chat with someone (show off), and said with a smile: "Okay." You lead the way. "Commander Lu only showed his face in front of the Son of Heaven, and his heart was still very high.

Jin Shang ticket number, now not afraid of others knowing that they have strong financial resources, but afraid that others do not know. Jin merchant ticket number, want to contract the exchange business of silver for yamen and various businesses in various parts of the imperial court! This is the ambition of the road commander.

The big guy who acted as the key account manager quickly put away the improvement proposal, and then said, "Wait a minute. I'll go get the deposit for you. ”

Lu Yong smiled and waved his hand, "No, I am in your pawnshop." ”

The big guy was stunned for a moment, remembering this morning, the third master of Huan's explanation, and suddenly smiled extremely enthusiastically, "Okay." Your side please! ”

The Jin merchants discussed this unique auction, and slowly followed the big guys downstairs to a scenic spot and courtyard in the manor located on the shore of Nanhu Lake. The name is: 澹云轩.

Not all of them choose to go to Yunxuan to drink tea, chat about auction experiences, and appreciate the "treasures" obtained like Lu Yong, and some people leave. The doors of the auction house are full of people. The auction is coming to an end.

In the eyes of Lu Yong, the leader of the Jin merchant ticket number, this auction organized by Jia Huan, although the grade is very high, at best, it is still a pawnshop.

But what about the real situation?
