Needless to say, the cyclamen planted outside the building have bloomed into a sea of water-red flowers in this season, which is lively and unrestrained.
Today there are nearly 300 officials who came to support the lottery unveiling ceremony. There are ten people per table, that is, the tables of the twenties. The "Cyclamen" is full of people upstairs and downstairs.
In the past, only the birthday banquet of King Yao would have such a large gathering. In ordinary times, how could a petty official like Fan Shuang be qualified to drink with the family members?
Even in Cyclamen, high-ranking officials sit with high-ranking officials, low-ranking officials sit with low-ranking officials, and aristocratic families stay with aristocratic families without interfering with each other.
In order to cope with today's situation, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce has long ago invited famous chefs from major restaurants in Tianshui City, together with cooks and attendants, a total of more than 1,700 people, to prepare a banquet for these 300 people.
Of course, there are delicacies from the mountains and seas on the table, and most of the "seafood" is the specialty of the Yangshan Islands, such as abalone bigger than a fist, stewed to be soft and fragrant, and the trembling yellow croaker fish maw... Be sure to let the guests eat it.
satisfy.
There was also a lottery during the banquet, with three levels of crystal, gold, and silver, which were worth a lot of money. In fact, they were all treasures fished out of Yangshan waters. For those who were less lucky, there were also rain and dew prizes, that is, everyone could get a piece of Yangshan.
The special gift package of the islands is beautifully packaged and rich in content.
He Lingchuan aims to make every guest return with a full meal and a real sense of gain.
This unveiling ceremony was expensive, but he didn't care.
Because every penny spent on marketing will eventually be earned back from the nobles of Tianshui City.
In the end, the wool still comes from the sheep.
Sure enough, from the next day onwards, the popularity of Youhu Villa revived both inside and outside the royal court, and soon spread from the palace to the people.
Obviously they have nothing to do with ordinary people, but the more they talk, the happier they become. No matter how comfortable and luxurious the Youhu Villa is, how charming the scenery on the other side of the lake is, they can all describe it as if it was built for the palace.
.
"Oh, do you know how grand that gatehouse is? Even the palace city doesn't have such a wide gate!"
"Can I say this casually?"
"Why not? The construction of Youhu Villa involved the participation of the construction office and sent palace craftsmen. No matter how it was built, wasn't it approved by the royal court?"
Careful people will also associate it with the turmoil in the Shoudian of King Yao, vividly describing a power struggle drama.
"Who lives across from Youhu Villa, do you know? Why does the king have to build a house in Youhu, do you know?" When saying this, he also winked.
"I know where Jian Guo lives. But the king is also building a house in Youhu. What does it have to do with Jian Guo?"
"Think, think carefully, use your bird-egg-sized brain to think!"
"No, how could the king be at odds with the prison country? That was sent by Bejia!" The man was uneasy, "If Bejia is unhappy, will we be in bad luck?"
"De Xing, I see you are afraid of turning into that bear. Even if Bega is the overlord of the world and is thousands of miles away from us, what can he do to you and me, eh?"
Controversy and uneasiness abounded everywhere in the court and among the people.
Amid this hustle and bustle, the second phase of Youhu Villas began to be sold in Chibao.
Unlike the first issue, which was launched in a hurry, this second issue was fully publicized with the help of public opinion before it went on sale.
Zhenhu is an out-of-print, beautiful house passed down from generation to generation.
Yes, the gimmick this time is that Youhu Villa will only be built in two phases, so once these forty houses are sold out, they will be out of print.
If it is out of print, it has collection value and room for appreciation.
Although the money is currently quite comfortable to earn, He Lingchuan does not plan to stay in Yao Country for too long, so he still wants to take it as soon as possible.
On the day of the sale, Chibao was surrounded by people, and the business of surrounding stores also improved.
At the Chibao sale, He Lingchuan changed the order of selling, starting with the jingshe in the back row, then the middle row, the front row, and the first row facing the lake.
Time was limited, so we only photographed eight buildings every day, and one night every other day, all of which were photographed within twelve days.
In addition to keeping things hot, it also gives potential buyers ample time to think about and... raise money.
The so-called "secret auction" was a novelty for the bidders. There was no need for multiple rounds of bidding, just one decision to determine the winner, which saved a lot of time.
The bidders hand in the price slips, and the salesman collects them, counts them one by one, and the one with the highest price wins.
The first jingshe in the last row was sold out in a snap, and the price was 31,100 taels, which was pocketed by the prefect of Mangzhou.
There was a bit of agitation at the scene, and no one expected that the jingshe in the last row actually sold for a price that closely matched the first phase of the Linhu Jingshe!
This is the power of secret shooting.
He Lingchuan invited hundreds of officials to attend the opening ceremony of the Villa, and he wanted this effect.
Then for the second and third buildings, the price dropped a bit compared to the first one.
Apparently everyone thinks that the price of the first building is a bit exaggerated.
He Lingchuan folded his arms and watched behind the scenes. Dong Rui asked him: "Hey, why did you go down?"
"It doesn't matter." He Lingchuan didn't take it seriously, "Just wait and see."
After the sixth building was auctioned, the price started to go up again, and finally it was sold for 31,200 taels.
The seventh building reached 35,000.
The last building that participated in the auction today, which is the eighth jingshe in the last row, was finally sold for 41,700 taels!
When the salesman read out the price of 6,000 taels aloud, everyone in the audience exclaimed "Wow".
It’s outrageous, the monasteries at the end of the second phase are actually more expensive than the ones facing the lake in the first phase!
He Lingchuan explained to Dong Rui: "The last row of houses focuses on cost-effectiveness. When the shooting just started, there were eight houses left, and everyone had a stable mentality and wanted to wait and see. When there was only the last house left, they thought the price would only go up.
As it gets higher and higher, buyers become anxious.”
If you are in a hurry, you have to add money.
Yu Wenxu, who came to support him, wanted to laugh out loud, but because there were people around him, he didn't dare to lose his composure, so he had to cover his mouth and cough hard.
It was a good deal. The first phase of Linhu Jingshe he bought from He Lingchuan was such a deal.
Although Yuwen's family was not short of money, he was still very proud to see the value of the jingshe he had photographed skyrocketing in just a few days.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It not only expresses loyalty to the king, but also allows the collection to increase in value, killing two birds with one stone!
As the night passed, some people were happy and some were sad.
The next day happened to coincide with the early morning meeting of the Yao court, and the officials of the previous dynasty were also discussing the matter. Among the officials who bought the jingshe, two were assigned good errands by King Yao; the prefect of Mangzhou was implicated in Xue Zongwu's death.
He was originally going to be severely punished, but the officials predicted that he would be thrown to the western border, but in the end King Yao demoted him to Zhuo'an.
Although Zhuo'an is not as prosperous as Mangzhou, the second largest city, it is also close to the capital, and its economy and trade are not bad. As long as the governor is careful in his management and performs hard, there may be opportunities for promotion.
He raised the big stick high and put it down gently. I don't know whether it was the effect of surrendering to show his loyalty or whether King Yao originally planned to do this.
Anyway, all the officials thought that the 41,700 taels spent by the prefect was well worth it.
Doesn’t this cause and effect correspond to each other? Losing a small fortune will eliminate a big disaster.
With so many living positive (and negative) examples, the second sale held in Chibao the next night was even more grand and grand.
The shooting started that night at the penultimate row of monasteries in Youhu Villa.
When the secret auction price of the first building was revealed, many people secretly said as expected:
Forty-nine thousand taels!
Nowadays, capable bidders have gradually discovered two key points:
First of all, there are only thirty-eight buildings left in Youhu Bieyuan Jingshe, one less than the number of buildings taken.
Secondly, the price will only get more expensive in the future!
The more people discover these two points, the sooner the war for housing begins.
That night, the price of the last monastery in the second-to-last row reached 83,000 taels in a fierce competition!
As soon as the salesman shouted out, it immediately caused a sensation at the scene.
The bidder was Lao Fu.
Fan Shuang whispered to He Lingchuan: "The Lao family is a long-established aristocrat in Tianshui City. It was originally in decline, but it married its youngest daughter to Qi Shuan fifteen years ago and has made money since then."
"Will you be rich from now on?"
"Qi Shu'an is Qi Yunsheng's distant nephew. He has never been an official in the court. He is a successful businessman. He handles many businesses, and the most profitable one is——"
"Lending."
He Lingchuan said, "Loan shark?"
"Yes." Loan sharking has never been a glorious business. To be able to do this, one must have a background. "Qi Shuan relied on his relationship with Qi Yunsheng and General Xue to make the business prosperous, and no one dared to mess with it. However,
, these two were killed recently.”
He Lingchuan nodded.
The two big trees Qi Shuan was leaning against had fallen down. If he still wanted to have a good time in Tianshui City, he had to hug his new thigh.
At this moment, King Yao stretched out his legs. Qi Shuan couldn't go through Lao Mansion to hug him tightly?
These eighty-three thousand taels were the price of his loyalty and surrender.
Oh, even businessmen who lend money came here after hearing the news.
At this moment, He Lingchuan suddenly heard someone not far away saying harshly:
"What kind of world is this, where all the moneylenders are qualified to buy Youhu Jingshe?"
The voice was still vaguely familiar. He turned around and saw that it was Bai Tan who said this, and there were two officials sitting next to him.
The two officials were looking at each other, obviously they were beneath him.
But tonight the rules were like this, the one with the highest price got it. Bai Tan took a sip on the ground and said: "You are a rotten person who gives birth to a son without skin!"
He knew very well Qi Shuan's purpose in buying the monastery.
But the scolding was too unpleasant, and it was in public. Someone in the front row turned to look at Bai Tan, with a gloomy look on his face, but did not dare to say a word. He Lingchuan expected that they were either from the Lao Mansion or from Qi Shuan.
He then asked Fan Shuang: "General Bai and Qi Shuan, are there any festivals in the Lao Mansion?"
"Uh..." Fan Shuang hesitated.
He Lingchuan understood immediately: "It seems there is. Okay, I understand."
Fan Shuang couldn't help but whispered in his ear: "Actually, General Bai is at odds with General Xue. Brother He, you also know that when General Xue was alive, he was relatively..."
Domineering, arrogant, arrogant.
"When it comes to matters involving the Xue family, the Bai family and the military, there are some cases that the Criminal Department cannot investigate."
He Lingchuan nodded.
"General Bai is from a well-established and meritorious family after the famous founding general of the country. He also has military exploits and is not afraid of General Xue's momentum. Therefore, the two of them have always been somewhat tit-for-tat."
