"Forty thousand strings of cash!"
Cao Wendong's words immediately shocked everyone. Uh, it should be all the merchants. After all, there were very few people present who could casually take out forty thousand strings of cash like him. Moreover, judging from Cao Wendong's behavior, forty thousand strings of cash was clearly not his limit. He was prepared to increase his "investment" at any time!
Rich and overbearing, this is what it means to be rich and overbearing!
"Alright! Boss Cao is the first to buy forty thousand strings of cash. Who else is willing to invest? "
Li Zexuan's face was expressionless as he said calmly.
"I'm willing to buy twenty thousand strings of cash!"
Liao Xifan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
He was not as rich as Cao Wendong. Mobilizing twenty thousand strings of cash in a short period of time was already the limit of what he could do. Any more and he would have to sell some things. Liao Xifan felt that it was not worth it to put up all his money for a Plum Village with an unknown future.
"Wow! Is Boss Liao that rich too? "
Some of the merchants below were discussing in a low voice.
"I'm willing to buy ten thousand strings of cash!"
"I'm also willing to buy ten thousand strings of cash!"
"I'm willing to buy eight thousand strings of cash!"
.....
Some people might have the same thoughts as Liao Xifan and felt that it was not worth it to put up all their money for a Plum Village with an unknown future. Some people did not have much money at all. Anyway, after Liao Xifan, all the bids hovered around ten thousand strings of cash. Li Zexuan, who was sitting at the head of the table, frowned and looked a little unhappy. Cao Wendong, on the other hand, was secretly delighted. The fewer people who bought, the more authority he would have in the Chamber of Commerce.
"Lord Li, His Highness the Crown Prince sent me to pass on a message. The East Palace is willing to buy thirty thousand strings of cash!"
At this moment, a scholar came in and bowed to Li Zexuan.
Everyone was shocked. No one suspected that the scholar was deliberately lying because his clothes had the East Palace logo. Moreover, given the relationship between Li Zexuan and Crown Prince Li Chengqian, it was very likely that this was true. This way, the situation was completely different!
"Lord Jue, I'm willing to add twenty thousand strings of cash for a total of forty thousand strings of cash!"
Liao Xifan reacted immediately and shouted at the top of his lungs when he heard Eastern Palace Advisor's words.
Although his own funds were limited, if he added in his good friend Feng Zhihua, he would be able to buy 40,000 strings of cash. Most importantly, the crown prince's sudden disruption made him feel optimistic about the future of Plum Village. If he didn't make the first move to gain the upper hand, he might not even be able to drink soup in the future ~!
"Lord Jue! My young master said that the Wang Family of Taiyuan is willing to pay 100,000 strings of cash! "
Boom ~!
Liao Xifan had suddenly increased the East Palace's 30,000 strings of strings of cash to 40,000 strings of cash. Now, the Wang family of Taiyuan had directly offered 100,000 strings of cash. These offers made everyone's blood pressure soar. It was extremely exciting.
"Your young master is Wang Renbiao?"
Li Zexuan looked at the middle-aged man who said he would give a hundred thousand strings of silver and asked in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man bowed and replied, "Yes, Lord Jue!"
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the Wang family to join in after hearing the news. He was about to say something when he heard a series of offers from below.
"Lord Jue, I'll add forty thousand strings of cash for a total of eighty thousand strings of cash!"
Cao Wendong smelled a hint of danger and immediately began to raise the price.
"Lord Jue, I'm willing to pay 40,000 strings of cash!"
"Lord Jue, I'm willing to pay 45,000 strings of cash!"
"Lord Jue …"
A strange scene appeared. Following the final bid of 45,000 strings of cash, the conference room suddenly fell silent. The businessmen who didn't make it in time all swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths. They looked at each other in frustration, but no one dared to make a rash offer.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford a higher price, but because Li Chengqian had offered 30,000 strings of cash. There were already five people who had offered more than 30,000 strings of cash. If the remaining people offered a price higher than 30,000 strings of cash, wouldn't they "squeeze" Crown Prince Li Chengqian out of the picture? They wouldn't dare even if they had ten guts!
People who had been in the business world for many years had to have this level of EQ and eyesight. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the qualifications to sit here and bid.
"What's wrong? No one's bidding anymore? "
Li Zexuan asked curiously. Previously, it was still lively, but now, these people suddenly became silent.
"Hehe, I'm not bidding anymore! I'm not bidding anymore! "
Most of the businessmen forced a smile on their faces as they chuckled.
Cao Wendong stroked his beard and was very satisfied with the situation. The businessman surnamed Lin who made the final bid of 45,000 strings of cash had a flushed face. He couldn't hide his smug expression.
"Alright! Since no one's bidding, I'll announce the results! "
Li Zexuan picked up the paper in front of him and said in a deep voice, "The first batch of members of the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce are Wang Renbiao, Cao Wendong, Lin Wenyuan, Liao Xifan, Zhang Jingyang, and His Highness the Crown Prince! The subscription limit is 100,000 strings of cash, 80,000 strings of cash, 45,000 strings of cash, 40,000 strings of cash, 30,000 strings of cash, for a total of 335,000 strings of cash, which exceeds the limit by 135,000 strings of cash!
The excess will be temporarily used as backup funds for the construction of the roads. After the roads are repaired, the unused money will be returned to you according to the proportion of your subscription! Does anyone have any objections? If not, then today's auction is over! "
"I have no objections!"
"I have no objections either!"
"I have no objections!"
Those who were "on the list" naturally didn't have any objections. Those who were "not on the list", although unwilling, didn't dare to openly object. They could only blame themselves for being slow to react.
"Lord Jue, I wonder if we'll have the chance to become a member of the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce in the future?"
A greasy middle-aged man with a full beard stood up and cupped his hands towards Li Zexuan.
The other businessmen immediately looked at Li Zexuan with hopeful eyes.
"Of course! But the members of the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce are valued by quality, not quantity. It'll only get harder and harder to join in the future! Of course, friends who haven't joined the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce can choose to work with members of the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce. I believe it'll be very profitable! "
Li Zexuan said calmly.
"I understand now!"
The greasy middle-aged man bowed with a determined look.
"Good! Then that's all for today. Let's welcome the first batch of members of the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce! “
Li Zexuan stood up and clapped his hands with a smile.
Everyone knew that he was sending them off and hurriedly stood up. Li Zexuan continued seriously, "But no one is to spread the news of what happened here just now, especially news related to the Crown Prince! If the news is leaked, I'll investigate one by one. If I find out who it is, don't even think about having a foothold in the Tang Dynasty in the future! Do you all understand? "
"Don't worry, Lord Jue! We know the severity of the matter! "
Cao Wendong led the crowd in response.
"Mm, that's good! Meeting adjourned ~! "
Li Zexuan nodded and waved his hand.
