"After selling the medicinal materials, our Tiger and Leopard Army will directly hand over five million and two silver to the imperial court in Beijing … I don’t know what adult Zhang thinks?"
If you don’t let the court pay the most direct interest, there is nothing in Zhang Qian’s eyes.
Zhou Lao and Wei Zheng’s two pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Qian at the same time and affirmed without thinking: "But … the court absolutely supports the butch and leopard army to sell medicinal materials in the capital … The official believes that David Grand Chao Wei can sell medicinal materials in the capital even without the consent of the court, and he didn’t dare to offend the butch and leopard army at this time …"
Two days later, dozens of carts full of wild ginseng skins were escorted into Beijing by a cavalry battalion of the Tiger and Leopard Army …
At the same time, a news from the tiger and leopard army spread like a plague in Beijing, almost to the point where everyone knew it.
Two days later, the Tiger and Leopard Army will hold an auction at the HSBC Restaurant in Beijing to auction a batch of precious medicinal materials and hides looted from the late Jin Tatars … No matter who has the highest status and price, he knows that …
There is no news that surprised the Ministry of Commerce, Shang Zhang Qian, etc. Just came and caused a sensation in the whole capital.
In the past year, all kinds of dignitaries and pharmacies in Beijing have almost been consumed. Otherwise, the original price of wild ginseng will not be coaxed to 100 thousand silver, and it is still valuable …
At this moment, in such a large capital, no matter the dignitaries or the major medicine merchants, they are trying their best to prepare silver, and they plan to have a big auction the next day to buy as many medicines as possible.
Because no one knows when the imperial court’s economic blockade of Houjin Dalai will end, there will be no way for wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain in Houjin to enter the capital one day later.
And this also means that there is no way to guarantee the supply they receive.
Under such circumstances, the only thing these dignitaries and drug dealers can do is to seize this opportunity to hoard as many drugs as possible …
Chapter five hundred and fifty Surprise in the auction
Contrary to these dignitaries and medicinal traders, HSBC restaurant, which has always been the busiest in Beijing, has closed its doors at this moment.
Not only that, hundreds of tiger and leopard soldiers are like sculptures with muskets in their hands, standing still in the restaurant, with the doors closed and the lobby lit up.
Dozens of imperial doctors from the imperial palace, Zheng Zhoulao, personally directed and distinguished the mountains of precious herbs in the lobby and divided them into different grades according to their growth years …
One person, Zhou Lao, was rewarded with 1,200 pieces of silver to stimulate more than 20 doctors. In just one day, more than 10,000 kilograms of various precious herbs were piled up according to different classifications.
Soon, a middle-aged businessman who was directly responsible for the auction came to Zhou Zhou with a full face of excitement.
The big report says, "My Lord … the statistics of all kinds of medicinal materials have been completed …"
"It can be said that the quantity and quality of this batch of wild ginseng exceeded my imagination …"
"According to statistics, there are a total of 1,000-year-old ginseng, 6 hundred-year-old ginseng, 35 five-year-old ginseng and 139 300-year-old ginseng in this batch of ginseng. Because there are too many direct kilograms here, there are 5 kilograms of hundred-year-old ginseng, which is even more …"
"In one hundred, I got five grades here …"
"Ten to one hundred years, a total of one hundred and fifty Jin … fifty to ten years, a total of two thousand and one hundred and thirty Jin … ten to fifty years, a total of three thousand and nine hundred Jin of ginseng … the rest is the most common ginseng, a total of six thousand and forty-nine Jin …"
Zhou Lao, a former businessman, knows the value of this batch of ginseng very well.
The front words just finished Zhou Lao’s face was covered with a thick smile, and then he took a deep breath and asked the medicine merchant in front of him.
"According to your estimate, how much silver can be sold for this batch of ginseng …"
After a short meditation, the Shang population said, "At the current price, it is very possible to sell this batch of ginseng for 15 million taels of silver, but it will definitely have a great impact on the price of ginseng if so many people participate in it at one time. I estimate that the price of this batch of ginseng is about 10 million taels of silver."
Zhou Lao shook his head and replied, "No, twelve million taels of silver is too little … since the current market price can sell fifteen million taels of silver, we will rush to fifteen million taels of silver …"
"How is it possible … that so many ginseng can be sold at one time, even if the current market price is no matter how high, it will be very low … so I think these ginseng can be sold for up to 10 million and two thousand …"
I heard that Zhou Lao’s face flashed a strange smile directly.
In front of an incredible businessman, he affirmed, "If we auction the right way, we can definitely sell it for 15 million taels of silver …"
"So … days after the auction … you do this …"
Businessman was born in Zhou Lao, and just after telling his own auction strategy, he still had an incredible face and a typing smile …
In the week the boss affirmed "adult … if according to your way, maybe it’s really possible to achieve fifteen million taels of silver …"
The next morning, dignitaries and medicinal traders from all over Beijing gathered in the lobby of HSBC restaurant for hundreds of people as if they had discussed it.
As a group of deputy armed tiger and leopard soldiers walked into the lobby, it was just a lively lobby, and these soldiers became quiet directly.
At the same time, Li Yukun, who was in charge of the whole auction, also boarded the platform that everyone could see.
After explaining the rules of the whole auction, the first auction of the whole auction, six old ginseng with a life of more than one thousand years, was directly carried out by two butch soldiers to show everyone.
After Li Yukun introduced the six old ginseng, especially after hearing that the age of these six old ginseng was confirmed by the court physician, a scream sounded directly in the quiet lobby.
Some of these dignitaries who came to the auction directly showed a certain expression, because for them, owning these old ginseng is not only a status symbol, but also a health symbol.
A little beard can pull a person back from the death line in the Millennium ginseng key moment. Although this kind of ginseng costs a lot of money, silver is obviously not as important as life for these dignitaries.
As soon as these old ginseng appeared in front of them, they showed a real situation.
Li Yukun presided over the auction after reflecting everyone’s panoramic view. "I won’t introduce the value of this thousand-year-old ginseng too much. I believe everyone here should be very clear."
"Now I declare that the starting price of the official auction of six thousand-year-old ginseng is 100 thousand taels of silver …"
Li Yukun’s voice just fell a very abrupt sound when the lobby of HSBC Building rang.
"I paid six hundred and two thousand silver to buy six old ginseng departments …"
