Chapter 750: Auction (Part 2)
On the huge square, military tents were temporarily set up, and each bidder had an independent small tent so that they could bid more secretly. In the top flower hall, in addition to Sun Lei, who was in charge of the bidding this time, Li Ze, Xia He, Guo Fengxiao and others also appeared here.
Li Ze flipped through the information about these twelve families on the table, and was a little surprised.
"Why did the Yelu family in Boxing want to come to Wuyi to bid for this?" He raised his head and looked at Sun Lei standing aside.
"Li Xiang, the Yelu family in Boxing is really making a fortune." Sun Lei smiled and said, "They are almost becoming the richest man in Texas. Now in Boxing, the breeding industry is extremely developed, and a series of industries that match it are the leaders of the North. They have already left Boxing, and even the shipping industry has begun to be involved."
"Since you have already done Shanghai transportation, why do you still look down on this little money?" Li Ze asked with a smile. The current shipping is really a huge profit-making industry. The only natural enemy, even if God is, as long as God gives you a face, a ship of cargo will be almost a ship of copper coins.
In contrast, the current business is indeed a small profit.
"Li Xiang, is it still Tieler?" Guo Fengxiao asked.
"Of course I remember that when we brought Yelu Qi over, it was the thread he was holding!" Li Ze nodded: "This person was originally a Tang Dynasty man, but later married a girl from Yelu Qi. He was highly valued by Yelu Qi. Haven't he been serving as the magistrate of Boxing County?"
"This person is indeed a very capable person. Yelu Qi has been serving in the army. The Khitans in Boxing have actually been under the leadership of Tiele. Boxing has a prosperous scene today. This person should be the first to be the best!" Guo Fengxiao said: "Now the Khitans in Boxing have become the benchmark for the Khitan tribe that is attached to the inner Khitan tribe. It is precisely because of their existence that in border prefectures and other places, there are more and more foreigners who have joined us, including the Khitan tribe."
"Di Yi entered my China, and then China!" Li Ze said with a smile.
"That's what I said." Guo Fengxiao said: "But there are still many obstacles when it comes to actual situations. Whether in the folk or in the officialdom, these people still have many obstacles. For example, they are also studying, being an official or being a civilian, and these people are still subject to a lot of prejudice."
Li Ze suddenly realized: "I understand, so they hope to further amplify their influence. What they value is not this little business, but the ability to enter Wuyi, have a place here and be able to speak."
"Yes. There are still many people like them. For example, the Liu family in Hedong seems to have come out alone to buy the bid this time, but in fact, his back hands gathered many top figures in Hedong, and they are not willing to be marginalized! In addition, the Chen family in Hezhong also joined forces with the Gao family to bid once."
"A small public transportation can actually lead to so many things!" Li Ze laughed: "By the way, when it comes to Yelu Qi, he should be from General Xuanwei of the fourth rank! Since they have become benchmarks and he has been diligent over the years. After Li De's rangers were transferred, he was in charge of the cavalry under Liu Chenglin. He can always maintain strong combat effectiveness. This person has made great contributions. Zhang Xun, remember, go back and promote Yelu Qi to General Zhongwu of the fourth rank. Didn't he have two sons? In the past, he only had his eldest son, and gave his second son a dismissal position!"
"I've written it down, Li Xiang!" Zhang Xun nodded.
Li Ze turned his head and looked at Sun Lei on the side and smiled, "With these companies participating, I'm afraid this bid will be interesting. The final transaction price is probably far premium! These people don't care whether they can make money. What they care about is that they can come to me, right?"
"They don't care about money, but we care!" Xia He said with a smile: "As long as they are willing to pay more, it's OK to ask me to hold a banquet for them."
"Then we'll treat them to a meal after the matter is done." Li Ze said. "Hey, what's going on with Tongda? Are they now able to compete with these people with such great financial resources?"
Tian Bo smiled and came up, "Li Xiang, Tongda made a big deal this time and raised 200,000 yuan. What they wanted was the outer city West Ring Road."
"Even if the outer city West Ring Road is not what the bigwigs above want, the 200,000 guan is less." Xia He said curiously: "What does this matter have to do with your inner guards?"
"Li Xiang, Mrs. Xia, we will make up for the shortcomings for them. Of course, we will account for 40% of the members in Tongdali." Tian Bo said with a smile.
"You guys showed up?"
"Of course not, it is a middleman who passes through it!" Tian Bo said: "Tongda is now quite large, mainly transporting some goods outward, with mature lines and qualified drivers. We are ready to support them to lay a solid foundation for the next expansion to the country. I think public transportation will definitely be promoted nationwide in the future. At that time, we can do a lot of things along the route controlled by Tongda."
Li Ze nodded without saying a word.
"It seems that your inner guards are very abundant!" Xia He smiled and said, "Hundreds of thousands of pounds can be taken out just by taking them. This year's special funding is gone."
Tian Bo suddenly felt bitter: "Madam, we are doing a long-term plan. In order to get involved this time, we are saving our money and deducting the money for a month."
Xia He put one face on one end, but ignored him.
Tian Bo had no choice but to look at Li Ze, but Li Ze picked up the tea cup and savored the tea with ease, without even a look at him.
With a gong, the first round of bidding began.
Among the twelve tents, some people walked out and arrived at the door, presented their own sealed envelopes. Then they returned to their own tents and quietly waited for the first round of results to be announced.
Sun Lei opened an envelope and was prepared in his heart, so he specially picked out the first one for the Liu family in Hedong to dismantle it.
"Hedong Liu Family, around the inner city line, 400,000 yuan!" Even though he had done some psychological construction, Sun Lei was still surprised to see this price. When he announced the price, his tone was trembling.
Li Ze and Xia He looked at each other. In their budget, the best route can reach up to 300,000 guan. If it is more, I am afraid I will not be able to make money. After all, it only has a three-year operating period. But unexpectedly, the first round was 400,000 guan, and it turned out to be used to buy my own favor.
"Boxing Trading Company, around the inner city line, 400,000 yuan!" Sun Lei opened the second envelope and his tone was already excited.
The fight started, and the power was evenly matched, and there was a good show. For him, whether these people make money or not is not within the scope of consideration. Even if they lose a lot of money next time, the amount of money they handed over is not a penny, and it is enough to sell it.
Two bids have just been announced, and the yard has become turbulent. Obviously, this price has made everyone feel uneasy. Because as soon as this price is released, several merchants competing for the inside of the city are basically eliminated. In the second round of bidding, they can only choose other routes.
In the first round of competition, there were three companies in the outer city’s west line, with the highest reaching 150,000 jin and 120,000 jin.
The four companies competing for the east and west cities in the outer city have the highest price of 200,000.
The two companies compete for the Moon Bay to Wuyi routes, with the highest amount reaching 200,000.
The second round of bidding begins.
The eyes of Li Ze, Xia He, Guo Fengxiao and others fell on the two tents of the Liu Family in Hedong and Boxing Trading Company. It is obvious that they are the focus of today's bidding.
"These strangers in Boxing actually want to fight with us?" Liu's talker gritted his teeth, "A group of uncivilized things, I..."
Having said this, he swallowed it back again. Speaking of the current situation, Boxing is really more respectful than those of them. "Five hundred thousand coins!" he said viciously.
In the tent of Boxing Trading Company not far from them, a Khitan man with a small braided hair was sitting in the middle. Around him, there were some people who were not much different from him but dressed as a Tang Dynasty scholar. They were all Khitans, but the old ones were still dressed in traditional clothes, while the small ones were all dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes.
"The magistrate of Tie County said that this time it is not a matter of money." The old man looked into the house and said, "Even if we lose a lot of money, we must show our face. The losses inside the dike are made up for the outside. These little thieves from Hedong want to make money with us and let them see what rich people are!"
The old man turned a huge ruby ring on his thumb and laughed: "Six hundred thousand coins, let's use money to overwhelm these little thieves in Hedong."
As soon as the price of the second round was released, the old man in the tent in Hedong staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Barbarian, barbarian!" He clenched his fists and turned around in the room frantically.
"What should I do if the patriarch?" asked a man who looked like a master carefully.
"What else can we do? Five hundred thousand coins are the limit we can take this time. In the past two years, we were too seriously damaged. If it were in the past, what would this little money be?" The head of the Liu clan sighed: "We gave up the inner city line. In the third round, we will still offer 500 thousand coins to Wuyi City."
"Class leader, this line doesn't cost so much!" said the master.
"I'm confused, are we buying this line? Is this line worth anything? Is it worth 600,000 yuan?" Liu clan leader growled.
After the three wheels, the flowers will return to their master.
Boxing Trading Company obtained the inner city line for 600,000 yuan.
The Liu family in Hedong received the Moon Bay to Wuyi City line for 500,000 guan.
Tongda Chexing got the west line of the outer city for 350,000 yuan.
The Chen family in Hezhong and Gao family won the east line of the outer city for 400,000 yuan.
