Chapter 62 Sky-high Price Drunken Immortal Brew
Wang Ben's words echoed in the hall, immediately silencing the originally noisy crowd.
Zhu Qiu looked ugly, and there were not many people in Xianyang who dared to talk to him like this.
He was about to get angry but when he turned around, he saw that the person who spoke was actually Wang Ben, and he was immediately frightened.
He could only cough twice and sit down numbly.
Although he was one of the great businessmen in the Qin Dynasty and his status was not simple, he was nothing in front of Wang Ben.
If he really offended this person, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
The hall was silent, and Shen Wansan said with a smile:
"Everyone, the auction has officially begun."
"The base price of each jar of Zuixian Brewing is one thousand gold. Each increase in price shall not be less than one hundred gold. The quantity is limited and it is first-come-first-served."
"Now the auction begins for the first batch of Zuixian Brewing. The quantity is five jars, and the base price is five thousand gold."
As soon as Shen Wansan finished speaking, there was another exclamation in the scene.
"What? Did I hear it correctly? The base price of a jar is one thousand gold?"
"This... although this wine is good, it's not worth a thousand pieces of gold."
"This is not selling alcohol. This is clearly a money grab."
Just as everyone was talking about it, a loud shout sounded:
"I want this first batch of fine wine, and I'm willing to pay you five thousand gold."
Immediately afterwards, there was another loud shout:
"A bunch of poor people, I will buy such a fairy wine even if it costs ten thousand gold, not to mention a thousand gold!"
"I will pay five thousand one hundred gold."
Ying Yu, who was drinking tea leisurely by the side, almost didn't laugh out loud.
If he hadn't known that Shen Wansan hadn't asked for help, he would have thought that this person was one of his own. This map was really good.
As soon as these words came out, it is estimated that many people had to raise the price even if they didn't want to buy it, just to save face.
"I will pay five thousand two hundred gold."
"I will pay five thousand three hundred gold."
"I'll give you five thousand eight hundred gold."
As expected, just as Ying Yu thought, everyone started bidding.
"Young master, I bid you six thousand gold."
The people who were about to continue to increase the price paused for a moment, then quickly shut up.
The young master offered a high price, but they would never dare to compete with him. For a while, no one spoke.
Seeing this, Shen Wansan picked up the gong on the table and shouted:
"Young master bids six thousand gold. Do you have any more bids?"
"Six thousand gold, first time."
"Six thousand gold, the second time."
"Six thousand gold, third time, deal done!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Gao for winning the first batch of Drunken Immortal Brew."
As the gong sounded, the first batch of Wutan Zuixian Brewing was successfully auctioned.
Ying Yu on the side had a smile on his face. Although he had expected it, when the reality came, he was still inevitably excited.
It's so easy to make this money.
Five jars of wine brought me six thousand gold in profit, but the cost was less than one hundred gold.
For this auction, Ying Yu prepared fifty jars of wine and auctioned them in ten batches.
If we follow this trend, it will be appropriate for the next few batches to exceed 10,000.
"Congratulations to the young master for winning the first prize. The second batch of Drunken Immortal Brew will now be auctioned. It will still be five jars. The base price remains unchanged at one thousand gold."
As Shen Wansan finished speaking, everyone immediately started bidding.
"This second batch of Drunken Immortal Brew, I want six thousand gold."
A loud voice sounded, and when everyone saw that the person who spoke was the young master, they all had no choice but to shut up.
When Jiang Lu opened his mouth, no one dared to bid again, so the second batch of Zuixian Brewing naturally belonged to him.
The subsequent third and fourth batches were bought by Feng Quji and Meng Yi respectively for seven thousand gold.
When the fifth batch started to be auctioned, this time no one asked for the price immediately.
After waiting for a few breaths to make sure that no boss would speak, they all shouted out their prices.
"Old General Wang Jian is addicted to alcohol. Doesn't Marquis Tongwu plan to take a batch of Drunken Immortal Brew back and give it to the old general to try?"
Feng Quji saw that Wang Ben had not spoken yet, so he asked with a proud look on his face.
Wang Ben snorted coldly, "Didn't I just buy a few jars of wine to see how rude you are?"
I have a car at home, am I proud?
However, Wang Ben knew that this matter should not be made public.
So I just snorted coldly and didn’t say much!
Seeing that Wang Ben was silent, Feng Quji laughed, thinking that it was because he had no money that he was reluctant to ask for a price.
The auction is still going on. Without the participation of these big guys, the bidding has become more and more fierce. In the seventh batch, the price has already exceeded 10,000.
Shen Wansan, who was in charge of hosting the auction, was almost blind.
After another two rounds of fierce competition, the auction has come to an end.
And the price has also been raised to the height of fifteen thousand gold.
Not only did such sky-high prices not dissuade these people, but there was a tendency for supply to exceed demand.
It made Ying Yu want to put up another 180 pieces for auction.
But he knows very well that rare things are valuable.
The reason why this wine sells for such a high price is, firstly, because it tastes really good, and secondly, because it is scarce.
In the eyes of nobles and wealthy businessmen, this Immortal Brew must be good.
It is very likely that it will never be available again in the future, so many people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
But once there is too much wine, it will be different.
As the crowd kept bidding, the last batch of Zuixian Brewing was auctioned for a sky-high price of twenty-five thousand gold.
Ying Yu had to sigh, these nobles were so damn rich.
So far, all fifty jars of Zuixian Brew have been sold, bringing Ying Yu nearly 100,000 gold in profits.
One hundred thousand gold.
With this hundred thousand gold, the construction of the Martyrs Cemetery and the Royal Academy can begin.
This auction can be considered a successful conclusion.
Of course, the money will not be received until tomorrow. No one would go out and bring so much gold.
Chapter completed!
