Chapter 97 Auction
As the largest official office in Xiya, the Hufang is of course the most ideal place to hold the tender.

Different from the rows of seats in later generations, this time the bidding meeting adopted the method of sitting opposite each other. More than a dozen businessmen were divided into two groups and sat in the household room, while Xiao Mo was standing with a few blueprints with a smile on his face. on the rostrum.

These blueprints record the conditions of the 33 iron mines. Of course, the data has been verified through investigation, and there is no need for Xiao Mo to fiddle with this.

After distributing the blueprints and giving the merchants a period of time to think about it, Xiao Mo stood up and said, "Everyone, you've got it all figured out!"

It is clear, but Pu Wen still has quite a lot of opinions on the regulations stated in the notice at the entrance of the West Yamen. Not only him, but even the three members of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce also have some criticisms about it.

The reason is very simple. If counted on the basis of headcount, then the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce only came to three people this time, wouldn't that mean that they could only get nine iron mines at most?So Qian Jiwen was dissatisfied in his heart, but after getting the artwork and materials, the three of them combined together and changed their minds.

Just because on the drawing, there are four huge iron mines. According to the drawing, the storage capacity of these four iron mines is astonishing, four to six times that of other iron mines!With these four behemoths, Qian Jiwen and the others felt a little more at ease. Needless to say, in Qian Jiwen's eyes, these four iron mines were almost in their pocket!

"Let's talk about the rules of this bidding meeting!" Xiao Mo cleared his throat, then put his hands on the rostrum, and said: "I think everyone knows that this bidding meeting is based on single participation The official marked all the iron mines with corresponding numbers. For example, the largest Fuyunshan Iron Mine is No. [-]. When the bidding starts, everyone can estimate the value of the iron ore, and then write it down on the paper above, the officials will collect them uniformly, and the one with the highest price will get..."

Xiao Mo loudly read out the bidding rules. At this point, the businessmen couldn't help it, and there was an uproar!
"What does this mean? Let's guess the price and see who pays more?"

"We are not allowed to unite, so what about the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce?"

"Whether to sell iron ore or not, forget it!"

The businessmen started to complain, but Xiao Mo kept watching with cold eyes, but he didn't stop it.

After a long time, Xiao Mo said: "Enough is enough!"

How could the businessmen make a fuss if they didn't get an explanation?Hearing Xiao Mo's words, they all complained again.

"Enough!" Xiao Mo yelled loudly, and then said to Yan Shiba: "Catch the head, please, and invite everyone who has an opinion just now!"

"Yes!" Yan Shiba replied, and then began to call the police!
really?The merchants fell silent, then stared at Xiao Mo with wide eyes.

They didn't believe that Xiao Mo would be so tough and drove him away, who would buy the iron ore?
Is it really the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce?Pu Wen became suspicious, because from the beginning to the end, none of the three of them, Qian Jiwen, said a word of dissatisfaction!
Did they discuss it long ago?Pu Wen couldn't help but became suspicious. With this hesitation, several Zhejiang merchants were pushed and shoved by the arresters and left the West Yamen!
"My lord..." Pu Wen finally couldn't bear it anymore and called out to Xiao Mo.

"Hehe..." Xiao Mo pretended not to hear, sat down with a smile, and asked: "The rest of you have no objections, right?"

"Are you sure..." Huang Wenhao laughed, "I just have a suggestion..."

"Oh?" Looking at Huang Wenhao, Xiao Mo asked strangely, "What suggestion?"

"My lord, if only the one with the highest price wins, isn't your lord afraid that we will join forces and offer a low price, and then take a slightly higher price from the low price?"

It seems that this person is very smart, he thought of the loophole in the bidding meeting in such a short time!Xiao Mo nodded to Huang Wenhao, and after approving, Xiao Mo added: "That's right, I haven't finished talking just now... In this bidding meeting, I will mark a price that I am satisfied with for each No. [-] iron mine. , the price given by everyone, in addition to being higher than others, also needs to meet the price standard in the official's mind! Do you understand?"

so?This is also a bit too difficult!The rest of the merchants sighed again, but this time, they learned how to behave. Just now, Xiao Mo drove away four people with a word. Isn't this money lost in vain?
However, as Xiao Mo said, the merchants can't guess the price by themselves. That's too unreliable, so some people put forward their opinions, hoping to change the bidding method!

This time, even Qian Jiwen and others stood up and said that they hoped to invite bids through competitive bidding.

A bid is an auction!Xiao Mo thought for a while, this was not bad, so he nodded, but since it was an auction, Xiao Mo didn't have to personally attend the auction, so he asked Lin Yiye to preside over it, while he closed his eyes and meditated.

Bidding turns into an auction house!It wasn't until dusk that the NO.16 iron mine was called. Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Mo stopped Lin Yiye and announced, "This is the end of today's auction. The boss who didn't get the iron mine, Please go early tomorrow!"

After seeing off the merchants, Xiao Mo nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the transaction prices of the sixteen iron mines recorded by Lin Yiye.

The average transaction price of these sixteen iron mines was more than 10 taels of silver, and the one with the best terrain was sold for 30 taels, and these did not include the four largest iron mines!

"This piece of paper is only 2208 million taels!" Xiao Mo smiled at Lin Yiye. "This time, Master Li will have fun for a while!"

Lin Yiye also nodded. In an afternoon, he was used to the feeling of shock, because every bid made by the wealthy businessmen made him very excited!
"Continue tomorrow, I won't come, but the price of the remaining iron ore is still a bit low!" Xiao Mo frowned!

Still low?Lin Yiye thought to himself, you can be content!Thinking so in his heart, Lin Yiye still asked, "Is there any way for Ziheng to raise the price?"

In fact, in Anchao, the price of an iron mine can't really be considered high, it can only be regarded as a fair price, but Xiao Mo is not reconciled!
"A solution?" Xiao Mo pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up! "Those four businessmen, Liang An, you go and find them later, and then..."

Xiao Mo clung to Lin Yiye's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Lin Yiye asked, "Can they agree?"

"Don't worry! They are regretting it now, as long as they grasp this point, they will not refuse!" Xiao Mo is very confident!
