Chapter 321 - 321 Auction
321 Auction
Due to this situation, Lian Xin had to think of a way to rope in some powerful people. Ning Yue and Jiang Ying were Lian Xin’s first choice.
A glint flashed across Jiang Ying’s eyes. “Sure.”
As he spoke, he took out a banknote and slapped it on the table.
Lian Xin picked it up and saw that it was five thousand taels!
Ning Yue almost smiled. Was Jiang Ying trying to take away all the dividends? Dream on!
“Expand the size of the teahouse. I’ll give you 5,000 taels. Continue with the same costs. When the time comes, I’ll get 70% of the dividends and you’ll get 30%,” Jiang Ying said.
Lian Xin’s expression changed. He did not want to agree, but he had to stand firm in the Great Yun Nation. After thinking for a long time, he agreed.
“Alright.” Lian Xin put away the banknotes. “I’ll take the banknotes. When you have time, we’ll write the contract.”
“There will be one tomorrow,” Jiang Ying said.
“Alright, see you tomorrow,” Lian Xin said.
Jiang Ying left with Ning Yue.
Lian Xin wanted to say something, but he had just put away the banknotes and looked up when he disappeared.
“Jiang Ying and Ning Yue are really careless. Aren’t they afraid that I’ll leave with five thousand taels of silver? Also, Ning Yue can actually earn so much money!” Lian Xin’s expression was very ugly.
However, when he thought about how he had earned five thousand taels so easily today, his mood finally eased a lot.
“Young Master, before those two left, they said to leave a private room for them at the charity auction.” After the waiter sent the two of them back, he conveyed their words to Lian Xin.
Lian Xin was stunned. “How did they know that there was a charity auction tonight?”
The waiter shook his head. “I don’t know.”
That shouldn’t be the case. He had only told some important guests who often visited the teahouse about the charity auction.
He could take a commission from tonight’s charity auction and donate all the money those people had given him.
This way, he could earn money and a good reputation.
In order to stand firm, he had made this choice. If he added Jiang Ying and Ning Yue’s positions, would he have worked for nothing tonight?
“Forget it.” Lian Xin shook his head, not planning to think too much about it.
He instructed the waiter, “Save a private room for them tonight.”
He wanted to put them further away from him, but thought better of it. After all, they were business partners.
“Wait, forget it. Let them sit in my private room,” Lian Xin added.
At night, even after waiting for a long time, the two of them did not appear.
“How late.” The charity auction was about to begin but Jiang Ying and Ning Yue still did not appear.
“Forget it. In any case, I have 5,000 taels in hand. It doesn’t matter if they come or not,” Lian Xin said.
“Why does it not matter if we come or not if you have 5,000 tales?” Jiang Ying’s voice sounded.
Lian Xin was shocked. He looked around and asked, “When did you come in? Where did you come from?”
Why didn’t he see them come in?
Ning Yue replied indifferently, “The door wasn’t closed.”
“Okay.” Lian Xin smiled awkwardly. “Have a seat.”
“What does the Wargod think of the charity auction?” Jiang Ying asked.
Actually, he had participated in the auction before, but the people who participated every time were basically those who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Such an auction was collectively called an underground gathering. Those who cared about their reputation would basically not participate in such a gathering.
Now, the auction held by Lian Xin was almost full. He had used charity to promote it. How did he think of this?
“I dreamt about it,” Lian Xin said.
Jiang Ying didn’t ask further.
In any case, Ning Yue had said that she would definitely make a better business when she returned, surpassing Lian Xin.
Lian Xin was about to say something else when the auction began. “Let’s start bidding. The first treasure is a good brush. Legend has it that this brush was once used by the first emperor of the previous dynasty. Everyone in the previous dynasty knows that it was a very rich dynasty.”
“The founding emperor of the previous dynasty was an outstanding person. His beautiful reputation has been passed down to this day. The things he used must be good stuff! Therefore, our starting price is 100 taels of silver. The lowest bid is 10 taels of silver each time. Let the auction begin!”
In the end, the transaction price of this pen was 5,330 taels.
His commission for this deal was 10%. In the end, he still gained a lot.
