Chapter 275: Giant Merchants Gather
The Daimyo's Mansion, a house renovated for the auction, is nearing completion, and to be honest, it is different from the decoration of other shops in the Northern Song Dynasty.
This house is naturally suitable for auctions, because of the relationship between the beams, the whole house is quite large, after making a special platform, the surrounding area is divided into two floors, calculated, at least 2000 people.
Officials above the sixth grade, or a deposit of 10,000 guan, these two meet the standards respectively, how many are there in the entire Great Song Dynasty, even if it is one-third, it is almost 600 people to pay the deposit, that is, 6 million guan.
In fact, there are more people who have paid the deposit than Zhao Xin imagined, about 1,200 people, as well as officials, and it is expected that 2,500 people will participate in the auction by the time.
2,500 people, of which 100 are officials, or officials jointly recommend, at least there are thousands of officials above the sixth grade.
In addition to the subordinate officials of the Daimyo's Mansion, all the qualified officials came, and some officials who had ideas about business also came, including Jia Chaochang.
As a privy envoy, Jia Chaochang could not leave Bianliang casually and come to the Daimyo's Mansion to participate in this event, but he sent Jia Deyong, the second son who was in charge of the iron business he trusted the most.
Before, because the iron business was cut off, the Jia family lost an income of more than 100,000 yuan a year, which was not a small blow to the Jia family, he was only angry at the time, but the combination of Ye Qingchen and Renzong, plus this was a legitimate reason, there was nothing he could do to make him angry.
This time, the auction of the Daimyo's Mansion was spread in Bianliang at once, and several big families and big merchants that Bianliang could count all went.
Jia Deyong failed to pass the imperial examination, but relied on Jia Chaochang to shadow a five-grade loose official, and more often, he focused on business.
Zhao Xin single-handedly led the transaction of iron materials, and also broke the Jia family's dream of making money, it stands to reason that Jia Deyong basically will not pay attention to Dinghaihou's business, but the reputation of the Daimyo Mansion auction is too great, and Jia Deyong even if he doesn't want to, he also got a booklet.
Zhao Xin promoted the auction booklets, under the premise of a large number of tens of thousands of copies, these booklets, through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, came to all the rich places with convenient transportation, the capital is the end, at least more than 5,000 copies.
Idle and bored, Jia Deyong flipped through it casually, and immediately saw a business opportunity after flipping through it.
Jia Deyong was in the iron business before, and he was very sensitive to the price of iron, and even the price of civilian iron.
Isn't this giving money, as long as the quality of this iron pot is okay, it can be sold at a high price of more than one can, or even four or five can.
Quality, if the Daimyo Blacksmith Workshop did not send the first batch of 15 million catties of iron, he would still doubt that this Daimyo Blacksmith Workshop would be shoddy, but even the order of the imperial court, 15 million catties, was completed with super quality, and this batch of iron, even better than the previous iron, there is no reason to do tricks on these civilian products.
Well, this is an opportunity! This was the first feeling that Judyong had when he saw the booklet.
Although it is said that Dinghaihou has lost the opportunity for the Jia family to make a fortune, but seize this opportunity, as long as they buy these goods, the Jia family may not be able to get a good opportunity, not to mention, there is also the secret recipe of steamed buns and the right to sell soap.
Those perfumes, magic weapons, and even BMW's, in Jia Deyong's eyes, are just the playthings of boring rich people, and only this last business is the real point of turning stones into gold hands.
In a hurry, Jia Deyong didn't even bother to ask Jia Chaochang's consent, he didn't even use his identity as a five-rank official, but directly transferred 10,000 yuan and joined in the form of a deposit.
Anyway, it's about business, and business can't do without money, and he even feels that 10,000 yuan is not enough.
The working capital of the Jia family, basically controlled by Jia Deyong, although there is less iron business, there is no input, but the temporary mobilization of 200,000 yuan of funds can still be, with the previous scale of the iron business, Jia Deyong keenly found that only large-scale ordering, can produce huge benefits, if 200,000 yuan all become civilian iron, with the huge number of blacksmith shops controlled by the Jia family, in a short period of time, the process of distribution can be completed.
Like Jia Deyong, there are many more visions, Zhao Xin's previous judgment is correct, the iron business is very large, and it is also very profitable, among the civilian products, the future prospects are huge, but the Northern Song Dynasty is too big, unless it is an extraordinary thing, attracting the attention of the top merchants in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, otherwise, if you want to market the whole country, it is basically impossible.
The decoration of the auction house came to an end, all kinds of merchants and officials, gathered in the Daimyo's Mansion, the Daimyo's Mansion got the inns, ushered in the best time, just like rushing to take the exam, the inns were almost full, especially some big businessmen, they almost took over the entire courtyard, and the big shots also made the operators unable to close their mouths.
In fact, the biggest advantage is that Zhao Xin is here, because of the short time, he has no way to open a money bank to accommodate funds, so he had to formulate the largest 20 money houses in the Daimyo Mansion, as a place for capital verification and deposit collection, according to the recent news, the capital verification is almost 1200 people, but the total amount of capital verification is as high as 120 million.
That's right, it's 120 million guan, the wealth of the Northern Song Dynasty, only if you are really in this era, you will feel the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, tens of millions of years of income, only a small part of the money, 1,200 businessmen, an average of 100,000 yuan of deposit, all of a sudden, is 120 million yuan, this number, several times the annual income, also proves the terrible concentration of wealth.
Hearing this number, Wang Song and the others were dumbfounded, but Zhao Xin didn't care, but another idea came to mind, it seems that the bank is imperative, the future industry, need a lot of money, and even urban construction and road transportation, all need a lot of money, this fund, if let the Ding Navy accumulate, slowly, can be accumulated, but it will waste a lot of time.
The Northern Song Dynasty had a large population, and 150 million people were the minimum, even if the average person deposited 1 guan in the bank, it was 150 million guan, not to mention these big businessmen, as long as the bank outlets could be spread in every corner of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and the myth of gathering sand into a tower was not impossible.
However, the establishment of a bank is not as simple as patting the head, in the future, in such a closed and high-paying circle as the Dingjun, it can be built first, and then marketed throughout the country, it will take a long time, and the key now is this auction.
