Chapter 346 Your Highness, aren’t you deceiving me?
Chapter 346 Your Highness, aren’t you trying to trick me?
Especially the face of the representative of the Wang family was even more gloomy and terrifying.
But even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not say anything.
Other powerful people feel nothing.
They knew that with the eight major families here, they would never have a chance, so they simply regarded it as a show.
Li Changfeng stopped talking nonsense, knocked the gavel, and said directly: "Okay, the base price is 1.8 million taels, and the bidding begins."
As soon as he finished speaking, the representative of the Wang family shouted directly: "Two million seven hundred thousand taels!"
In an instant, the scene became quiet again.
Everyone looked at the Wang family representative.
Is this crazy?
Directly increase the price by 900,000 taels?
The representative of the Wang family looked normal.
Calculated, one share is only 300,000 taels, which is the same as the last auction price, but the total price sounds appalling when added up.
He was very satisfied with everyone's performance and did not dare to compete with the Wang family to be the best.
You must know that the Wang family has a history of thousands of years and has always sold official salt, which is indispensable to everyone. The family is much richer than other aristocratic families.
But he underestimated the desire of other aristocratic families for shares in the Ministry of Railways.
The Zhao family's coal business was getting worse and worse under the influence of Li Changfeng, and they were determined to win it, so they immediately shouted: "Two million eight hundred thousand taels!"
The Shen family followed: "Two million nine hundred thousand taels!"
Not to be outdone, the Shangguan family said: "Three million taels!"
…
Other aristocratic families had already given face to the Wang family, and now the competition officially began, and soon the price was raised to a terrifying 3.6 million taels!
This is equivalent to 400,000 taels per share.
It’s a sky-high price.
The expression on the Wang family representative’s face has begun to twist: “Three, seven hundred thousand taels!”
The representative of the Zhao family gritted his teeth: "Three million and eight hundred thousand taels!"
"Three million and nine hundred thousand taels!"
When the representative of the Wang family shouted out this number, the representative of the Zhao family couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are you crazy?!"
The representative of the Wang family looked appraising: "I, the Zhao family, are determined to win this, but you, the Zhao family, would be better off not to rob it!"
The representative of the Zhao family snorted coldly: "Then let's see how much money you can offer, four million taels!"
Upon hearing this number, there was a gasp of air.
Even Li Changfeng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Jiufen, four million taels, is almost 450,000 taels per equity. This is a number that he had never thought of before.
Li Changfeng looked at the Wang family representative: "Are you still bidding?"
"Get out!" The representative of the Wang family lost control of his emotions. He suddenly stood up and shouted: "The Wang family has offered 4.1 million taels. Who dares to follow me?!"
"Crazy, really crazy!"
The representative of the Zhao family shook his head.
Li Changfeng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Why didn't he continue to be tough?
Seeing that there was no movement from everyone, he asked: "Is there anyone else bidding?"
After asking three times in succession and seeing no one bid, Li Changfeng announced that the Wang family's auction was successful.
Hearing the sound of the gavel hitting, the Wang family representative finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that the owner of the family told him to buy fifteen shares no matter what, but it was still 15%. Now Li Changfeng's method of packaging and auctioning 10% of the shares gave him no chance to complete the task.
Now he has spent 4.4 million taels of silver, and the remaining 3.1 million taels is obviously not enough.
I can only give up now.
Next, the third round of auction begins.
This time, because there was no involvement from the Wang family, the price was not outrageously high.
The 10% equity was sold for 4.2 million taels and was photographed by the Zhao family.
In the fourth round, 10% of the equity was sold for 4.1 million taels and was photographed by the Shen family.
Just when everyone thought the bidding was over, Li Changfeng said: "The fifth round of bidding has begun. It is still 10% of the equity, and the base price is two million. Everyone starts bidding."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Didn’t it say that Daqian officially sold 30% of its shares?
Why is it being auctioned again?
Li Changfeng smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you that 10% of the shares of this prince and your majesty will also be auctioned."
The representative of the Wang family was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Highness, aren't you trying to trick me?"
If he had known that Li Changfeng wanted to sell 50% of his shares, he would not have fought so hard in the second round.
He was essentially taken advantage of and offended other aristocratic families.
As soon as he said this, he regretted it.
If you dare to talk to His Highness the Ninth Prince like this, isn't this asking for death?
He quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shivered nervously.
"Your Highness, forgive me, Your Highness, forgive me!"
Li Changfeng glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
There is no time to deal with him now, we will wait until the auction is over.
Judging from the excessive reaction of the representatives of the Wang family and the expressions of the representatives of other aristocratic families, it was obvious that they were very dissatisfied.
Thinking that the overall prices in the subsequent rounds of auctions were declining, Li Changfeng decided to change his strategy.
After pondering for a while, Li Changfeng said calmly: "It's true that this prince didn't think it through well. I think the 10% shareholding must be a great pressure for the eight major families. Next, let's resume the auction of shareholdings one by one and give it to others." An opportunity."
After saying that, he reincarnated and walked down the stage.
Everyone was stunned, and then some people were eager to try it.
Especially other aristocratic families that have not bought a single share are gearing up.
If the total price of 10% of the shares is too high, they can't decide to buy it on their own, so they can settle for half a share, right?
Zhang Haihui came on stage and banged the gavel a few times and said: "Okay, everyone, I will preside over the next auction."
As Li Changfeng's confidant, Zhang Haihui had a very high status in the capital. Even high-ranking officials in the court were polite to him, and no one dared to make a mistake.
Under his auspices, the auction continued.
Seeing that Li Changfeng didn't care, the representative of the Wang family breathed a sigh of relief and became active again.
The task given to him by the owner of the family was 15% of the equity. Now that the shares are being auctioned one by one, he has another chance to complete the task.
Anyway, I still have 3,100,000 taels of silver left, and with the intention of spending it all, I will buy as much as possible.
Other representatives of the eight major families originally thought that the Wang family would cease to exist. Without the existence of this troublemaker, the competition for the remaining 20% of the shares would not be so fierce.
As a result, they were angry to find that the Wang family representative was going crazy and continued to bid wildly.
Li Changfeng, who came to the private room on the second floor, looked at this scene with a smile on his lips.
"It seems that the Wang family has lost its official salt business and has pinned its hopes on the Ministry of Railways."
As a result of Li Changfeng's actions and the Wang family's help, the price of each share continued to soar, far exceeding the price of the previous package auction.
The price of the last share was an astonishing six hundred thousand taels at auction.
Everyone was shocked by this crazy number.
Even Li Changfeng was a little surprised and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I have underestimated the appeal of this kind of product that spans time, space and era to them."
After the auction ended, Li Changfeng stood up and told his attendants: "When the Wang family representative finishes delivering the money, remember to break his legs."
