Section 2014 The Ultimate Pearl(2/2)
At that time, they set their sights on those antique treasures in their warehouse. If they sell this kind of thing directly, there may be some bad things, such as spreading some bad news about themselves. This is absolutely not allowed, so
They thought of setting up an auction house. This auction account was not very good at the beginning, but later because of the emergence of extremely valuable things, many people became accustomed to buying things here, although the prices were a bit more expensive.
But one thing is guaranteed, there are no fakes here and everything is genuine. If you want to buy something for a while from here, you can rest assured. The bodyguards here are also good.
So if Li Cong wanted some of the most golden pearls and the finest pearls, it was right to come here. The place where the treasure shop was located was also chosen on the most prosperous street in the provincial capital. The 120-meter-long place made Li Cong feel
Surprised, Li Cong knew that the trading house he owned was the largest one and was incomparable to this one. There were only three treasure houses in the entire Southern Empire, one in the capital, one here, and one in a city in the south. But according to people who know the business,
This store here often sells the best things. The store in the capital just collects things at home with the ministers. They never sell these things in the capital. The Imperial Prosecutor's Office is not a vegetarian. If they are targeted by them,
This is not selling stolen goods, but causing trouble for oneself. These thieves and ministers all know about such things, and they will never do it. Selling valuable things here is the most important thing.
Many ministers of the Southern Empire still remember a joke, that is, a first-class official in the capital sold a computer at his home for nearly 500,000,000 silver, and then the Treasure Shop sent the thing to the eastern city, where Li Cong was.
In this city, for the first time this thing was put on the auction house, it was bought by a wealthy businessman for 600 million taels of silver. The treasure house in the middle took a price difference of 120,000,000 silver, and there were some other expenses, making about 130 million.
The wealthy businessman then took this thing to the capital. Who knew that a month later, this treasure returned to the home of the adult who bought it. It must be said that this was a disgraceful return to the original owner.
He also felt very strange about this thing. He did not expect that this thing would actually return to his home. Soon, two months later, the thing was sold for the second time and the treasure shop made another fortune.
At the beginning, everyone regarded this matter as a joke, but later on, there were too many such things, and the treasure shop continued to make money in a cycle, and the money earned was sometimes an astronomical figure. In the end, even the royal family
I can't stand it. The royal family sent two princes to become shareholders of Zhenbao. The other shareholders still hold 30% of the original shares, but they are already very satisfied. Zhenbao Bank can send you one billion taels of silver to each shareholder every year.
Yes, the profit is already very great, of course. The royal family earns the most, and the royal family can get nearly 50 billion silver profits every year. It is already equivalent to the tax revenue of several northeastern provinces, and the treasure shop is here
The Southern Empire can be said to be a special place. Local officials will never interfere, and no one will investigate if anything happens there. This has become an unspoken rule, an untouchable rule.
Other auction houses usually set up a hall, with individual customers at the bottom and general VIPs in the middle. The top is the highest-level VIP. Such a thing is impossible here because they have to strictly sign up customers.
Most of the customers here are a group of amazing people, and the people who can come here to buy things are also wealthy people. They don't want to be exposed in such a state, even if they are given in the space like other auction houses.
You can't even get the kind of glass that can't see your voice. So it can be said that all the transactions here are carried out secretly, which is the so-called secret bidding. They are divided into ten rooms and each treasure will be taken out every time.
Send them all once, and then just write the price you want on the plate. He has a low price here, as long as the price you write is higher than the low price he gave.
All buyers and sellers will never meet each other. When you go back to your current price, they will announce the three highest prices. Apart from these three people, you can tell the rest, and then give it to these three people again.
When you have the opportunity to bid, choose the highest one at the end. This way of bidding with a hidden bid is more exciting than the transparent bid method. Because you don’t know how much others will pay, you may end up paying for your own best value for money at the beginning.
, this also saves a lot of time. It cannot be said that the price can be gradually increased from the land price to the high price. In that case, you may not even have a chance to enter. Others are not high-priced, but you are low-priced.
As for the price, you have to go out. Of course, if you want to become a monk, there is a handling fee of 5,000 silver each time. This handling fee can already make ordinary people worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. It is definitely a luxurious auction.
This is just a trading method here, but it is obvious that Li never wants to use this method, because only if he has excellent pearls here will he notify you to participate in this auction. They also have another way of cooperation, which is you
If you need anything, just report it to them directly, and they will look for it for you. Don’t worry about how they found it. The one who trades well with Cao’s Trading Company is very similar to Cao’s Trading Company.
It’s just that the trading houses don’t have the channels like others. The Cao Family Trading Company knows a lot of dignitaries in the capital, but as for the top people, they don’t know many. What you do is all middle-to-upper-level business, while others only
To do top-notch business, what Li Cong needs now is also top-notch stuff, so he naturally came here. Go to the first floor and pay the 1,200 silver entrance fee and you will be a member here.
Of course, you can only say that you are the lowest member here. Most of the membership system is learned from the Cao family business, but what they have learned is just some superficial knowledge. For example, the members here now pay one thousand taels.
Membership fee, but no one came to greet him. He just had a clerk point him out and just go inside to register the baby. This service attitude can be said to be not very good. At that time, the trade in Cao's Commercial House
In the guild, will there be a talkative guy or a young and beautiful girl to take you in? The feedback from small places is completely different, so most people come here if they have something to do, and they will definitely not come here if they have nothing to do.
, they can definitely feel that feeling in Cao's Trading Company. The customer is God. This is the creed of Cao's Trading Company. Now they don't know what God is, but with such a taboo font name, everyone knows in their hearts that he should
He is a person with a very high status, so all those who can go to the Cao family business go there.
Looking at the doors inside, this should be the registration place. The inside is divided into ten small grids. Only the last small room, a standard No. 9 room, is empty. Li knocks on the door from here, and the person inside comes out.
As soon as he was told to come in, he went in. What he saw inside was that it was very small, just like the small room used to treat patients in the hospital. I really didn't expect it to look so small from the outside.
It's magnificent, but it still looks like this inside. There is a table in the middle with a person inside. The table outside looks like it will fall down at any time. It is just for yourself. These people are really ignorant.
I have done some work. I also have such an institution in my trading house, but the room is very big. In addition to good leather seats, the guests also have to serve some of their favorite drinks. This kind of thing makes the guests happy.
They came to do business with you. These people have learned in vain.
"If you need anything, just write it down. If our people are found, we will send them to notify you. It is best to leave a contact information within the city. If you go outside the city, you will have to pay extra."
This guy said without raising his head, the people who can register here are generally people with no power, no power, no money. They don't need to move at all, they are bitches, these people are looking for all kinds of things, but
They all have one thing in common, that is, none of them cost more than 100,000 silver. Things worth less than 100,000 silver seem to be very good in other firms, but in the eyes of the good guys at Jumbo, this is just a small business, and small things cannot be done.
No matter how small the business is, his daily transaction volume here is billions of taels of silver. One hundred thousand taels of silver is invisible to them, so this person doesn't pay much attention to Li Cong and just throws it over.
A piece of paper said that Li Cong seemed to be used to his attitude. He was here to ask for help, so he didn't pretend to be that way.
Li Cong nodded and wrote on the piece of paper that what he was looking for was the highest grade pearl. The man raised his head and glanced at it and was dumbfounded. He really didn't realize that this guy was looking for such a thing, which was usually a treasure.
There are some in the industry, and a batch of these things have recently arrived. They are still very good. If I can sell them, my commission will be several thousand points. Don't think about yourself working in such a magnificent place. But in this home
But he was not very wealthy, just an ordinary well-off family. He immediately changed his face and said to Li Congfa, "This gentleman is looking for the best pearls. I don't know if this gentleman knows the best."
How much are the pearls worth?" He smiled and said with a look of contempt in his eyes. Maybe he felt that Li Cong didn't know the price of these things. He looked up and down and found that the things on Li Cong were not very expensive.
The most precious pearl is worth more than a city.
He also said this to prevent Li Cong from overestimating himself. The rich people in the countryside thought that they were the richest, so they came here to get the best. They didn't know how much this best thing was? In his eyes, maybe Li Cong
I have always been a rich man from the countryside. That kind of pearls would never exist in a jewelery shop, because the jewelery shop wouldn’t do that kind of small business. You can just go to a nearby jewelry store and buy it. It’s better to buy it now.
Ask the question clearly. If Li Congzhen is looking for the kind that costs hundreds of millions, will it be too late for you to serve him? If he is looking for the ordinary kind, just tell him to turn left when he goes out.
Just go to those jewelry stores, you don't need to come here to find these things.
"That's right, what I'm looking for are the top-grade pearls, the top-grade South Sea pearls, which are the kind of pearls that only come out in a few every year, not those that are popular. In addition, I don't want those pearls sold by Cao's Trading Company.
He, what I want is the kind that only comes out a few times every year. I have repeated it twice, do you understand this?" Li Cong said, there is no smile on his face, and there is no need to wear a smile with such a person.
?But Li Cong knew that you had to give this person some benefit, so he took out a 20-tael silver ingot from his sleeve and put it on the table. The guy's eyes immediately stopped smiling. His eyes were not very big in the first place, so
When he smiled, he couldn't see where his eyes were. It became a crack. It seemed that Li Cong knew more than this guy. He thought to himself that he really had a big customer, and he was going to be prosperous. This time he was really
If you want to pay, this transaction will be successful.
"Don't worry, sir, do you know why our treasure business is called a treasure business? I don't know how many trading houses there are in this city. There are not 100 but 80 companies that can find pearls, but they can find the best pearls you want."
There is no one. Only our treasure shop can complete this matter. Our treasure shop was founded to sell the most high-end luxury goods. This highest pearl can tell the top family. Other families have such a pearl.
You can become the largest family in this province. Sir, it is a coincidence that you are here. We have recently received a batch of fine pearls. In fact, many people say that our pearls come from the Cao Family Trading Company, but this is definitely a mistake.
Yes, they all said that there is a certain gap between the top-grade pearls sold by Cao’s Trading Company and ours, and the price is also doubled. It depends on whether you want to see the goods, sir?"
There are rules for looking at goods in this treasure shop. If you like Li Cong ask for something and then show you the goods, you need to pay 500,000 silver. You have to pay this money whether you buy it or not.
, because if you don’t participate in the auction house with those people, they will lose a lot of income, so you have to pay these messy fees, and these fees do not have a unified name. You have to pay what they ask you to pay, and pay it to the end.
You will find that it may cost millions? But if you want to buy your things, you have to pay this amount. If you don’t pay this amount, you may not even see the appearance of the things you want to buy. Li Congdian
"I want to see that you just follow the rules here." Li Cong took out a 500,000 silver check and handed it to him. The guy took it with a smile and immediately went out to find someone to give it to Li Cong.
Tea, and then went to the back to prepare.
Soon this guy came back. Li Cong saw that there was nothing in his hand. Of course, he knew clearly that such a precious thing cannot be taken out casually. Just one of these pearls would cost hundreds of millions of silver.
, if they were placed in a place like this, they probably wouldn't be enough to rob Bei, let alone far away places. Such a situation happened once in their treasure shop. The customer paid a deposit or something, just to see the goods.
, they took it out without thinking about it. As a result, these people started to rob directly. Although these people didn't propose anything in the end, they still regarded this matter as an important matter.
Now he probably came here to tell Li Cong that he could inspect the goods, but he shouldn't be in this place.
"Sir, our superiors have approved this matter. If it is convenient for you, we will go to our warehouse to see the goods. However, this also has our rules. I hope you can understand it. Of course we will not go too far.
