Chapter 491: Unique Auction
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the term auction may not have appeared, but if the higher-priced ones were used to describe the behavior of auction, the merchants at that time undoubtedly had learned how to use it proficiently, and even finding someone as a quotation is not new.
However, if the auction and agency rights are combined, then the people who can understand the process and significance of it, besides Zhao Xinghe's subordinates, for now, apart from the Mi family in the Donghai, the Dahan cannot find more sensible people.
Therefore, the first auction held by the Wohu City Commercial Exhibition seven days after its opening was destined to be a unique auction. Because this auction does not involve the specific transaction quantity of any new-style commodities, it is just a determination of the operating license of such commodities within a certain area.
The issuance of business licenses in the form of auctions was a temporary idea that Zhao Xing only added after launching a commercial war. The reason for doing this is because of the following considerations.
First, by issuing business licenses, all wealthy and powerful merchants and families in various states in the world can be selected, so that Zhao Xing's future business empire can capture all these big families in one place and carry out targeted prevention and control. Of course, this meaning, as the secret in Zhao Xing's heart, will not tell anyone for the time being.
Second, in this way, although part of the profit will be given to states except for the cold, it will greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of participating merchants, ensure that new products are promoted by merchants in the shortest time, and lower the entry threshold for new products in a certain area.
For example, Chenliu's Wei family, who was once a member of Wei, had established himself in Yanzhou because of funding Cao Cao, and now he is very powerful in Yanzhou. If they obtained a special license for certain commodities, then Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, would hardly secretly block the promotion and application of Jin's products represented by the Wei family in this state. Similarly, if the four major families of Zhang, Zhu, Lu and Sun, who were in Wuzhou, obtained most of the special licenses, Sun Jian would not deliberately make things difficult for Jin's products to enter the Wuzhou market.
Third, in this way, the urgently needed large amounts of funds can be quickly raised for Jin State. So far, the funds raised by the three consecutive government bonds issued by the Jin State's Agricultural, Military and Commercial Bank have basically been invested in Youzhou, Liang State and this fight against the snow disaster, which means that Zhao Xing has no living money in his hands.
With the power of Jin State, blood transfusions to Youzhou and Liang State, and maintaining the healthy development of their own economy, this is the limit that the wealthy Jin State can achieve. It is certain that after several years of recovery, after Youzhou and Liang State develop, they will definitely feed back to Jin State, but all this takes time. Now Youzhou and Liang State are like newborn babies waiting to be fed, and are in the most important stage of growth. If you want to make them strong and healthy after growing up, they must not be weaned.
Based on this understanding, Zhao Xing would naturally have the idea of his states, and the method of auctioning exclusive management rights is the most wonderful karate. Before Jin State produced a large amount of goods, it had already raised a large amount of funds, which could not only ensure that various workshops and official factories had subsequent production funds, but also could also transfusion blood to Liang State and Youzhou, winning valuable time for Zhao Xing's plan to take off one and two wings.
Fourth, in this way, the influence of the Jin Dynasty's peasants, soldiers, merchants and financial banks can be further expanded, and currency symbolization can be promoted, that is, the promotion and issuance of banknotes. No one in this era knew that the Bretton Woods Conference was a magical thing, but although Zhao Xing was just a battalion-level officer in his previous life, he would pay attention to some economic information that was infiltrated into the country when performing secret infiltrating missions. Therefore, he was fortunate to know how this conference determined the overlord position of a certain superpower in the financial field that could not be shaken to date.
In the last life, the currency symbol issued by a certain country was affectionately called US dollars by the world. Isn’t it just a pile of green paper that is hard to wipe its butt? Why is it the same as real money? The reason is that someone held a Bretton Woods conference, but the family has never done it!
Because I have heard of it, Zhao Xing naturally knew that if you want to control one force, the most clever way is not to conquer by force, but to take economic infiltration. Of course, if Zhao Xing was born impatient and couldn't wait to experience the taste of the Nine Five Supreme and dominating the world, then conquest by force is still the first choice.
Fortunately, Zhao Xing is not that kind of person. He likes to play with bitches and tear down other people's archways\u2026\u2026
Maybe this metaphor is a bit rough.
To be precise, Zhao Xing likes to trample secular powers who are arrogant by fooling the people, and also likes to see the people of the world really embark on the road of self-reflection and happiness, rather than being treated like an ant as he wants. He still shouts that the most nonsense words of the world are the king's land, and the king's ministers are the king's ministers!
Since the Liu family of Han respected the castrated Confucianism and kept shouting that they would not do to others what they did not want others to do to others, why did they want to rise up and build the Ying family of the Great Qin Empire? They all wanted to do it, but after making money from the world, they turned around and told the people not to want it. Isn’t this a nonsense?
In view of the above four reasons, whether explicit or implicit, Zhao Xing attached great importance to the first exclusive right auction of business. He not only personally reviewed the entire auction process, but also provided a well-established intensive training for the guest auctioneers Qin Yilu and Liu Jili, two guest auctioneers, but also educated and guided Mi Zhu, representative of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, his younger brother Gongsun Fan, his eldest daughter Ma Yun-e and others who worked as a professional entrusting company. In short, it is how to make up for more money!
On May 12th, the first auction will be held in the special auditorium for the protection of ** on time. If the venue is not placed here, it will be impossible to squeeze out thousands of noisy businesses with noisy numbers.
Pa, pa, pa! With three crisp wooden hammers on the stage hitting the rootstock, auctioneer Liu Jili has entered a new role and said in a crisp and loud voice: Today's auction has officially begun! First of all, please allow v to briefly introduce representatives from all walks of life in Jin's peasants, soldiers and merchants who attended this event and representatives from all states in the world who came to Crouching Tigers!
Attending the event were Liu Dai, the prime minister of Jin, Li Taigong, the prefect of Shangdang, Xu Gongming, the commander of the Cold Tiger Army, Zhang Jian, the priest of Taihang Academy, Ni Zhengping, the editor-in-chief of the Jin Daily, Xu Mantang, the owner of Xu's winery,\u2026\u2026, the representatives of the world-class merchants attending the event were Zhang Shiping, the great merchant of Jizhou, Mi Zizhong, the son of Xiaolian Weizi, the son of Wuzhou family, Zhang Wen, the younger brother of Youzhou mud, Gongsun Bogui, and the daughter of the chief of Liang State.\u2026\u2026
As Liu Jili introduced some heavyweights, the atmosphere of the venue suddenly became solemn, no longer as loud as it was at the beginning. Many small and medium-sized businesses began to stir up trouble in their hearts, secretly thinking about their competitors' strength, thinking about how to avoid conflicts with the major forces in the state, but they also wanted to get a pie.
Now, the auction begins. Please don’t worry, merchants and representatives of the aristocratic family. The auction will last for several days. The order of nearly 100 products listed in the auction instructions in your hands will be auctioned one by one. Whether it is a large merchant, aristocratic family or a small and medium-sized merchant, everyone has the opportunity to obtain the agency rights for several types of products. Because the auction rules are very clear, aristocratic family and a merchant can represent at most no more than five products, so on average, every family has the opportunity\u2026\u2026 Liu Jili began to explain some rules to the merchants below.
