Chapter 1469 Xin Zijuan’s trivial skills (Third update, please vote!)
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying has already made up her mind, "Qiu Sheng, Wen Yan, Yao Qing, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. I have an idea. I'm afraid the original method is not suitable for this sales matter. We have to innovate, otherwise don't talk about it." The 500,000 taels at the end of the year and the 2.5 million taels before September are enough."
A few people nodded.
Two million and a half million taels are very difficult to get. In addition to the 900,000 taels of cash that are needed for the full amount, the remaining 1.6 million taels must be obtained through the sale of curios and farm shops.
Although there are many rich people in Beijing, they don’t just keep money at home. If they can come to sell goods, they are just trying to get a discount from the government sales and see if they can find out. In other words, these things are all available for purchase. But if you don’t buy it, it’s not just a necessity.
In this case, if you want to cash out, you have to discount and lower the price to make people tempted. But if you discount, how can you collect millions of taels of silver? The greater the discount, the more hesitant people will be, fearing that it will be harder to sell. Buy up, not buy down. This rule applies everywhere.
A few people don’t understand what Feng Ziying means by innovation. How can we innovate in this sales?
In the past, government sales generally involved finding some old buyers on their own and inviting them to view the goods. After viewing the goods, they would bid on the goods they were satisfied with and the price met the government's bottom line, then sell them to them. If not, they would haggle over the price. You can get a deal most of the time, but if it really doesn't work, look for a second one.
Because these are goods confiscated by the government, especially curios and farm shops, many people think they are unlucky, so the prices are basically not good.
So the prices of the seized items in Jingtong Second Warehouse were mostly estimated based on previous standards, but Feng Ziying did not intend to do this. He hoped to make a good operation and sell them at a good price.
“What does it mean for adults to be innovative? We all don’t quite understand.”
It was Wang Wenyan who asked again.
"The big case of Jingtong Ercang has now spread all over the country. There are so many people involved and the objects that have been seized are well spread. But in fact, everyone only knows a little bit about it and is looking at the flowers in the fog. I plan to conduct an on-site auction. method, divide these objects into several categories, such as antiques, calligraphy and painting, pearls and jade jewelry, farm shops, plus a miscellaneous category, including medicinal materials, furs, silks and satins, clothing, etc., and divide them into several categories. auction,…"
Fu Shi and Wang Wenyan looked at each other in confusion, what to do?
"Sir, I'm afraid there are a lot of joints here..." Wu Yaoqing said bravely.
"I know, that's why I say it's innovation. There must be things I haven't considered, such as how to price these things and how to determine their authenticity. This requires hiring some experts, such as the big shopkeeper of a jewelry store. They, such as the authorities in the dental shop, even invite two more to set the price together, and finally determine an approximate price. If the price is lower than this price, the auction will be rejected..."
Feng Ziying gave a general introduction to the modern auction system and methods, which made the three of them marvel. In fact, Feng Ziying didn't know much about the auction industry. She only had some rough understanding in her previous life. She brought it here to show off. It actually feels like I have become a pioneer and a big shot.
"In addition, the current momentum is not enough. I plan to have newspapers from the north and south such as "Today's News" and "Jiangnan Business Daily" publish them to build momentum, especially to show off some of the specious stolen goods in the two cases. To arouse everyone's thoughts, especially the common people in the capital city who puff out their cheeks and brag about it after dinner, it will definitely attract a lot of people's interest..."
Feng Ziying has begun to publish all the gimmicks in modern society in advance. The public clamor can often make people lose their minds. As long as these things are promoted hard enough, there will naturally be those wealthy people who are not short of money. Create a brilliant scene.
"In addition, we can also invite the Japanese, Koreans, Mongols, Jurchens, and even the people here from the Folangji and Hongmaofans, so that they can also appreciate the splendor of our Great Zhou Dynasty. Maybe They will also be interested in these things,..."
"By the way, let's publicize the auction scheduled for one month later. The auction venue is in the Daguan Building. The lower part can be used as general bidders. The boxes on the second floor invite some wealthy and idle people from the capital, such as King Zhongshun and the eldest princess. For example, the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, the Dongting Chamber of Commerce, the Longyou Chamber of Commerce, and the Jiangyou Chamber of Commerce. In that situation, as long as we can successfully mobilize everyone's bidding psychology, I believe they will sell at a good price, and then "Today's Chamber of Commerce" will be sold. News", "Northern Business Daily" and "Jiangnan Times", "Business Daily", "Zhejiang Express" and other relevant people were also invited to the scene to observe the scene. I believe no one wants to lose face on this occasion,..."
The leading figures of the business gangs from the north and the south are all gathered here. In addition, dignitaries from the imperial court are present, and there are also overseas businessmen participating. Who wants to be at a disadvantage and lose face? Naturally, there is going to be a fight between the dragon and the tiger.
Even those who are more clear-headed are at most a little more restrained, but if possible, they definitely don't want to be suppressed too hard.
Feng Ziying also mentioned some detailed considerations, which also attracted the divergent thinking of several people, and began to actively put forward some suggestions, either to improve or to make up for it. In short, such a rough plan was roughly formed.
Like King Zhongshun, there is nothing to say, and Feng Ziying does not need to invite. It is estimated that this guy will take the initiative to participate. As for the eldest princess, Feng Ziying will go to Wei Ruolan to say hello. His mother, the eldest princess, cannot come, but his father, the Prince Consort, can definitely be there.
Several figures from the big business gangs, and Feng Ziying, who has been working on the sea-opening strategy in Jiangnan for more than half a year, have some friendships with them. If they can strike up a conversation, say hello, and come over just to show their interest, there will definitely be no problem. As for whether it is possible To make people fight and spend money, it depends on how well the atmosphere is created and how well you perform on the spot.
After some discussions, a few people who initially felt uncertain suddenly felt that the future was bright.
In the past, everyone would think that this was something for sale in the case, which was bad luck, but now it is different. When it is publicized in the newspaper, everyone pays attention and looks up to it. There are so many dignitaries who support it, and it is an open bidding. When news and newspapers come to wave the flag and build momentum, they can instantly lift people's spirits.
You can also bid anonymously, such as only bidding for the name of Longyou Chamber of Commerce or Jiangyou Chamber of Commerce. Outsiders will not know who the specific person is, but it can boost the reputation of the chamber of commerce.
A variety of ways to choose will naturally allow many people who had some doubts to put down their burdens. In addition, for those businessmen who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to build their reputation, it is a rare opportunity to show off their own strength.
After Feng Ziying left, Fu Shicai discussed plans with Wang Wenyan, Wu Yaoqing and others. He was so impressed by Feng Ziying's whimsical ideas that ordinary scholars could not come up with such an amazing idea. In line with and taking advantage of everyone's psychology, everyone felt that according to Feng Ziying's idea, maybe the task of three million taels of silver could really be completed.
"It is said that Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan has a lot of treasures in his chest. It seems that what they say is true." Fu Shi stroked his beard and smiled while shaking his head. "The two of you also followed Mr. Feng after Mr. Lin, but Fu Mou I met Xiao Feng Xiuzuan ten years ago when he was still young. At that time, I thought he was just a martial artist and might be a bit brave, but I didn’t expect..."
“I didn’t expect it to be as expected, right?” Wang Wenyan also laughed. After two months of running into the Tongcang case, several people, including Zhao Wenzhao, He Huchen and others, became familiar with each other.
Everyone knows that they are on the same tree. Although their identities are different, Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing are aides and private ministers, Fu Shi is a subordinate, Zhao Wenzhao is an ally, and He Huchen is beholden to Feng Ziying, but he is a member of the Beijing camp. Military general, but his identity has nothing to do with Feng Ziying.
In the past, everyone thought that Feng Ziying had a good family background, a martial arts background, and was educated. It was reasonable to say that she was good at literature and martial arts, but she only had both civil and military talents. However, when she became an official, she had endless means and skills, and her courage and vision were outstanding. Even Fu Shi and Wang Wenyan felt that they could not find any other reason to explain their superiority except that they were gifted by nature.
There are some methods and experiences of being an official that cannot be taught by anyone. They all have to be slowly experienced and explored in countless tedious matters. Otherwise, why do officials need to pay attention to qualifications?
In fact, this qualification is the accumulation of experience. If you are a Jinshi, even if you are the top scholar, and you are suddenly thrown into a county to be the county magistrate, in the first two years, you will definitely be blind, unable to do anything, at least you will have to stumble. It will take two years to slowly enter the port and start the road.
But this Master Feng is really different. When he was a concubine in the Hanlin Academy, he showed his extraordinary talents and amazing actions. Ningxia's counterinsurgency showed bravery and courage, and his strategy of opening up the sea was even more amazing. That's all. , you can say family education, you can say talent, but considering the performance of Yongping Mansion Tongzhi and Shuntian Mansion Prime Minister in the past two years, even Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing, two close aides who have been following them, have to admit that some people are really It is something you are born with, no need to explore, and you can even see through many things at a glance and understand them.
Even though everyone criticized him for his poor literary talent, from the few poems he occasionally revealed, Wang Wenyan, Wu Yaoqing, and even his classmates felt that Feng Ziying was hiding his clumsiness and did not want his talents in politics to be affected by his poems. That’s all.
It can be said that this gentleman's performance is perfect except for his excessive fondness for women. But then I thought about it, if he had no shortcomings, wouldn't he have become a saint? It's not a big flaw if I like women.
I wish our great motherland prosperity and prosperity, and happy National Day, brothers!
