Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

"Underground auction?"

He Daqing was interested when he heard this and asked,"What kind of underground auction is this that Shopkeeper Hou mentioned?"

Shopkeeper Hou smiled and said,"This is a more formal underground auction. The main auction items are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade and jewelry, etc. Occasionally there are some precious medicinal materials and other things. I think you should be interested."

"A more formal underground auction?" He Daqing was stunned.

This is an underground auction, so how can it be formal or informal?

Shouldn't it be an illegal transaction?

He Daqing expressed his incomprehension.

Shopkeeper Hou nodded slightly and explained:"Yes, most of the things in this underground auction are legal. There won't be anything dirty, and the reputation is very good, otherwise I wouldn't tell you this."

He Daqing nodded, without delving into whether the underground auction was legal or not, and what was considered dirty, because human nature is really impossible to measure.

"What are the precious medicinal materials? How often do they appear?"

He Daqing doesn't care much about antiques, but he cares more about precious medicinal materials.

After all, there are many medicinal recipes in the Kitchen God System Mall, and some precious medicinal materials are hard to come by. If there are precious medicinal materials in this underground auction, he will definitely not want to miss it.

"It's OK. This auction often has some things that are hard to find on the market. Last time, a 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum appeared."When

Shopkeeper Hou saw that He Daqing was interested, he smiled and said,"If you really want to collect precious medicinal materials, this underground auction is definitely the right place to go, because many of the good things in this underground auction come from those old people, and they have a lot of good things in their hands."

"The most important thing is that the owner of this underground auction is no ordinary person. As long as it can be auctioned, you can buy it with confidence. Basically, there will be no fake things."

"Of course, the things inside won't be cheap. Without some family wealth, you probably won't even be able to enter the door of the auction."When

He Daqing heard this, he suddenly realized.

If he guessed correctly, the shopkeeper Hou in front of him must be a member of this underground auction, or at least a part-time worker of this underground auction. If he didn't think He Daqing had enough financial resources, he probably wouldn't have mentioned this to him.

However, in this way, he became even more curious about this underground auction.

You know, he has traded with this shopkeeper Hou more than once or twice, and each transaction was more than several thousand to tens of thousands. He has exchanged dozens of kilograms of gold here.

As a result, it was not until now that the shopkeeper Hou in front of him told him about the underground auction.

This proves that the underground auction he mentioned is really of high standard. Without a family wealth of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, people will not even look at you.

This sounds incredible.

But if you really look at it, If you really think about it, it is normal.

After all, where is this place?

This is Sijiu City.

It has been more than 500 years since Emperor Yongle Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Sijiu City. There are countless wealthy businessmen living in the city.

One hundred thousand yuan in the 1950s may be a huge and incredible number for ordinary people.

But for the real rich people in Sijiu City, it is actually just that.

Don’t say that you can buy a house in Sijiu City with two thousand yuan.

Because the gap between the rich and the poor in this era is much larger than that in later generations, coupled with the impact of war, the housing prices in Sijiu City are really not expensive. What if you change to a house in Shanghai?

In the Republic of China, a courtyard house in Yanjing was priced at about 400 oceans.

Even the courtyard house with a good location and good configuration is more than 500 oceans.

At that time, Common people can save more than 10 oceans a year. According to this standard, it is possible to buy a courtyard house after working hard for 20 to 30 years.

But please note that this is the price in the capital. If you want to buy a small courtyard in Tianjin, I'm sorry, it will cost at least 5,000 oceans.

Finally, there is Shanghai.

As the largest metropolis in the Far East, the costs in all aspects are definitely high.

In the Republic of China period, a courtyard house in the capital was only about 400 oceans, but this amount of money was equivalent to one year's rent in the Shanghai Concession. If you want to buy a house, don't consider it if you don't have 10,000 oceans at home.

So don't look at the housing prices in the old city of this era with the eyes of later generations.

Because since the demise of the previous dynasty for more than 40 years, the old city has never been really peaceful. It was either the warlords of the Republic of China or it was occupied by the Japanese devils. This is the situation. Under these circumstances, it would be strange if the housing prices were high.

After liberation, the housing management system was directly implemented, and the old bureaucrats, big landlords, capitalists, etc. were liquidated, so that those who had money to buy houses had to keep their tails between their legs. Do you think the housing prices in the old city can be high?

So you can't use the housing prices of this era to measure the economic environment of this era, nor can you think that the housing prices of this era are low, and naturally think that there are few rich people in this era.

Think about it, in the Republic of China, the price of a car was about 3,000 yuan, and a courtyard house in the old city was only 400 yuan, which is equivalent to one car being worth eight courtyard houses.

You are like those capitalist bosses who run factories and enterprises, which one doesn't have a car?

So in this era, it's not that there are few rich people, but that everyone hides and pretends to be poor.

But in the underground auction, everyone doesn't need to pretend to be poor, and can wave money to buy the items they need.

So without tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, you really can't get into the eyes of the underground auction.

After He Daqing figured this out, he nodded and said,"Hearing what you said, I am really interested. When will the auction be held and how can I participate~?"

Such an auction must be kept secret. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!) Both the time and the location are kept secret. Except for the insiders of the underground auction, I am afraid that only the invited people may get some information in advance. When

Manager Hou heard He Daqing's question, he smiled and said,"It can only be said that Manager He came by chance. This underground auction will be held tomorrow morning."

"If Manager He doesn't mind, come to Xinbaozhai to find me at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and we can go there together."

"It just so happens that there are many good things at this auction, and I am also planning to buy two of them."

Shopkeeper Hou said with a smile[]

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly think of something and continued,"Also, Shopkeeper He doesn't need to bring any money with him, it's not safe."

"If you like something at the auction, you can buy it first, and then sign the sales contract after the auction ends. The item will be delivered directly to your home, and you can pay for it later."

"This is also safe and convenient!"

"It's just that there are some things that you need to weigh carefully. When bidding, you'd better do it within your means, otherwise the deal will not be done and you will make enemies with others, which is not worth it."

Shopkeeper Hou smiled and reminded He Daqing, but he advised He Daqing to do it within his means and not to bid randomly at the auction, otherwise the auction house would not agree.

He Daqing heard this and admired the owner of the underground auction. He even came up with the idea of bidding first and then paying, and delivering the goods to the door.

But on second thought.

This is normal.

After all, these days, there are neither silver bills nor real-time transfers and remittances via mobile phones. Things like bank checks are rarely used.

Who would go out with so much money for no reason?

If there are really a lot of good things at the underground auction, the participants can't carry two large boxes of banknotes each.

If they really do this, they will be caught for sure, and there is a great possibility of being robbed.

"..Shopkeeper Hou, rest assured, I know all the rules."

He Daqing said seriously.

After that, he asked about the situation of the underground auction house.

Shopkeeper Hou did not hide anything. He told him everything he could say. He did not say a word about what he could not say. He was very tight-lipped.

For example, if you have something to sell, you can also say hello to the owner, but the owner will charge a commission of 5% of the transaction price.

If you buy something, there is no commission.

After all, the people in the underground auction are not stupid. It is impossible to eat both ends. If they really do this, this private auction cannot be organized.

In addition, when selling things, don't think that the 5% commission is too high.

Because the owner of the auction is also responsible for ensuring the safety of the treasure you bring. If there is a problem with your treasure at their place, the owner will also pay the price.

After the transaction is completed, the owner will also be responsible for delivering the goods to your door.

This is to provide the auction place, organize the buyer auction for you, and be responsible for the safety of your treasure, deliver the goods to your door, and solve after-sales problems. Do you think this 5% commission is high? (Ma Ma Zhao)

It is much more conscientious than the auction houses in later generations.

As for who the organizers of this underground auction are, you cannot ask or inquire, otherwise it will break the rules.

Finally, there is the confidentiality measures of the auction house.

If you don't want others to know, the owner of the auction house will provide you with clothes, hats, masks, etc. for disguise.

The owner of the auction is also extremely confidential about the personal information of the participants. Except for a few core personnel, no one else will know the real information of the guests.

And this transaction method is all legal and compliant, and keeps pace with the times. Even if you are caught on the spot by the police, you can't be convicted. The legal provisions and so on have been studied clearly by people, and they will definitely not let you get into trouble.

That's why Shopkeeper Hou said that this is a more formal underground auction.

After He Daqing learned about it, he had a plan in his mind.

Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't stay in Xinbaozhai any longer, and smiled and said,"Okay, I'll trouble Shopkeeper Hou to take me to open my eyes tomorrow. It's getting late today, so I'll go back first."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Hou did not try to persuade you to stay. He smiled and said,"Okay, okay. Then take care. I won't see you off. See you tomorrow!""

"See you tomorrow!"

He Daqing replied with a smile, and then he left Xinbaozhai carrying a heavy canvas bag.
