    Chapter 129

    Mu Wanqing knew nothing about the situation in the capital, and naturally had no way of analyzing it.

    She enthusiastically sent out twenty invitations, inviting the giant merchants of the Three Kingdoms and the envoys of the Northern Chu Xiwu.

    King Yan looked at the words on the invitation letter and couldn't believe it, what? Sell ​​water trucks? auction? Whoever pays the most?

    Too much fun.

    The opposite Hu Tu also got an invitation letter, "King Yan, you seem surprised, haven't you heard of it before?"

    King Yan put away the strangeness and glanced at him calmly, "How could it be? I just didn't expect her to invite so many people."

    He offered to propose, "We agreed in advance, not to bid against each other, not to raise the price."

    Hu Tu had already emptied his wallet, and naturally he didn't want to spend a high price on a water tanker.

    "That's natural, and you have to talk to businessmen in your own country."

    "Okay." King Yan agreed, and instantly formed an alliance. "However, the merchants of Qi country are not easy to control, if they raise the price..."

    The two looked at each other, and Hu Tu immediately called someone, "Go and check who else has received the invitation letter. No matter what means you use, keep those people obedient."

    "Yes."

    They made up their minds to take the initiative in the auction and control the pricing in their own hands.

    But, can it be done?

    Three days later, the auction was held at the newly opened clubhouse as scheduled.

    The conference will occupy a large area, with ten conference halls of different styles for everyone to choose from.

    There are also leisure and entertainment projects such as tea room, catering, gym, chess and card room, library, etc. The novel way has attracted the attention of many people.

    This is a membership system, and the annual fee is 1,000 taels. It looks sky-high, but businessmen flock to it, and many people apply for cards.

    This is not only entertainment, but also a platform to make contacts.

    Look, it is easy to gather together with the top businessmen of Chu and Wu, and even the prince is present.

    It's well worth the money.

    When King Yan and his party visited the clubhouse, they couldn't help but be fascinated. Mu Wanqing could play.

    Decided to go back and imitate a club.

    They were all big businessmen from various countries, very rich ones, but the businessmen from Chu and Wu were absent-minded and indifferent.

    The merchants in Daqi were also a little nervous, but Guo Er was in high spirits and followed closely behind Mu Wanqing.

    Mu Wanqing saw it all in her eyes. First, she gave a warm speech, welcoming everyone, and gave a gift, a big cream cake, which was outrageously beautiful.

    She cut the cake by herself and sent the cakes to everyone.

    Everyone present has seen the world, but they have never seen such dim sum.

    After tasting the sweet and delicious cream cake, Hu Tu couldn't help but be amazed, it was also delicious! Sweet but not greasy, dense and smooth.

    He devoured one piece and still didn't know what to do, "County Lord, I want to order a cake, I want a hundred."

    He wanted to give it to his family, the empress, concubines, princes and princesses, relatives and friends, good officials, etc. One hundred might not be enough.

    Mu Wanqing refused without thinking, "Sorry, the cake is not for sale. It's too complicated to make, and it's not easy to store and transport. I'm usually busy and don't have time to do it."

    Snack Street has everything except cake.

    Hu Tu was stunned, "Did you make it yourself?"

    How can she be so capable, she can do anything.

    Mu Wanqing took a sip of the cake and the tea, perfect. "Yes, I haven't done it for a long time, and the craftsmanship is a little unfamiliar. Please forgive me."

    She said it was modest, but everyone fell in love with the cake and praised it incessantly, "This is especially delicious, as expected of the Qingping township owner, so capable."

    Even King Yan, who doesn't like sweets very much, silently emptied his share.

    "I've never seen this snack before, it's so delicious, and when I think about it, I won't be able to eat it in the future..." Hu Tu let out a long sigh, and a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind, "Why don't you sell me the cake recipe. "

    Everyone looked at him in unison. He was too daring to think about it. He even dared to covet the secret recipe of the township owner. This was not on the land of Xiwu.

    "This is a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation, how can it be easily sold?" Mu Wanqing's righteous words suddenly changed, "Of course, if there are 500,000 taels, I'd still be very happy. of."

    The short shelf life of cakes greatly restricts the market, and it is impossible for her to go to other countries to open cake shops.

    Might as well sell it for money.

    "500,000 taels?" Hu Tu gasped, why didn't she go grab the money?

    It's just a snack, what's it worth?

    There is no standard for the secret recipe. If you say it is expensive, it is expensive, and if you say it is cheap, it is cheap.

    Although others thought it was expensive, they did not dare to speak out.

    Mu Wanqing said with a calm expression, "You can buy together, find ten companions, only need to pay 50,000 per person, and open a cake shop and earn it back in a year, and future generations can rely on this to live on."

    Hu Tu rolled his eyes rudely, "How is it possible? Money is not so easy to earn."

    Mu Wanqing glanced at him lightly, with a look of contempt in her eyes, "I'm sorry, it's not difficult for me, we are different."

    Hu Tu blushed with anger. Does this mean he is stupid? "Then tell me, how do you make half a million a year from cakes?"

    Mu Wanqing said casually, "It's very simple, open a cake shop in a lively town, manage it uniformly, and build momentum. One cake is priced at one hundred taels, and if ten cakes are sold a day, it will cost one thousand taels. Three hundred and sixty-five thousand taels a year, this is still the performance of one store, what if there are ten stores? There are always ten lively cities in a country, right?"

    She said it righteously, but she couldn't convince Hu Tu, "It's hard to sell such an expensive thing, who would eat a cake if you have nothing to do?"

    Mu Qing became impatient, "Stupid, do you know what luxury is? What is hunger marketing?"

    She looked at the dazed crowd and sighed softly, "Forget it, you don't understand anything. Based on this rare fate, I will teach you a trick, which is my unique secret in business."

    Everyone sat up straight, ears pricked up, Mu Wanqing's method of making money was much better than the average person.

    Mu Wanqing pondered for a while, "Let the royal family be the spokesperson, and during the festivals, we must eat a cake to celebrate any events and birthdays, forming a wave from top to bottom. Let everyone feel that this is the highest grade. What rich person doesn’t want such a sense of honor? Is it cake? No, it’s a sense of ceremony, a sense of honor!”

    Positioning the cake as a luxury, afraid that no one will buy it?

    "The royal family's spending power is definitely not bad. There are many rich people in the capital. Are you afraid that you can't afford cakes?"

    Everyone's eyes are stared, and the three views have been greatly impacted. In this world, they can still do business like this.

    They finally understood why she made a lot of money, and some people find it hard to make money.

    Mu Wanqing was still teaching her skills, "Also, it's the most respectable way of thinking to give a cake to the public. Are you afraid that it won't sell? Usually, you don't receive less than a hundred taels, right?"

    King Yan subconsciously remembered that he had received a vase, calligraphy, painting, flowers, jade, etc. If it was replaced by a cake, it seemed feasible.

    Her tricks are difficult for ordinary people, but for royal relatives, it is not difficult to operate.

    Mu Wanqing's eyes swept across everyone's face, some suddenly realized, some ignorant, and some very happy.

    "If you don't understand, it's a piece of rotten wood. I sincerely advise you not to do business, it must be a loss."

    Guo Er stood up and slammed down to the ground, "Thank you for the advice from the township owner. Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books."

    Jiangnan Guo Er is a business family, and he has been a businessman from generation to generation. He has done a lot of business. What Mu Wanqing said touched him the most.

    Some of them knew it before, some vaguely felt it, just through a layer of veil, but after being moved by Mu Wanqing, it became clear.

    Epiphany!

    The eyes of other businessmen looking at Mu Wanqing were different, as if they were looking at a god.

    Mu Wanqing was standing on the shoulders of her predecessors, so she was naturally more forward-looking than these people. "Is this trick worth 500,000 yuan?"

    "It's worth it, it's worth it." Guo Er looked at her eagerly, "The village owner, I want to buy it, I want to buy it!"

    Before Hu Tu could figure it out, he was robbed ahead of him, and immediately became anxious, "Wait a minute, don't rush me, I'll make it up first."

    How could such a person be missed? didn't know in advance that he also got the invitation letter, and now it's a bad thing.

    "Who told you?" Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "No."

    "I want it." A low voice sounded, and everyone looked up to see that it was King Yan.

    Hu Tu was depressed and said, "Yan Wangye, you should forget it, the family is not rich, and it is estimated that they cannot afford this amount of money."

    King Yan glanced over coldly, this bastard! "My dignified prince can still be short of money?"

    For the auction, he deliberately borrowed it from businessmen in his own country.

    Guo Er took the initiative to propose, "Since everyone wants it, it's better to auction it, and the one with the highest price will get it."

    "That won't work." It was Hu Tu's voice.

    "I don't think it's appropriate." King Yan also said, "I didn't say auction before, it's not good to change the rules without authorization."

    Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes, "Well, I will only sell it once in each country, it's 500,000 yuan, no second price."

    "Okay, I'll come first." Guo Er asked someone to take out 500,000 silver notes on the spot and send them to Mu Wanqing.

    Mu Wanqing asked someone to count them. After confirming that it was correct, she nodded, "I will start teaching tomorrow. You can learn it yourself, or you can choose someone to come over to learn it."

    "it is good."

    Hu Tu and King Yan looked at each other and exchanged glances.

    "I want one too."

    "Give me a copy." Get the secret recipe first and then say, money, there is always a way to get it back.

    In this way, 1.5 million silver was put into Mu Wanqing's pocket.

    When the auction officially started, Mu Wanqing asked someone to bring the horizontal type over, "There are ten waterwheels in total. Let's shoot the first one first. The starting price is 50,000, and the price is 1,000. Let's start."

    King Yan said deliberately, "Fifty-one thousand."

    As soon as he made a bid, no one robbed him, and when he was full of will, Guo Er killed him, "One hundred thousand."

    King Yan's face sank, it's the good thing that this bitch broke him again!

    The corners of Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched slightly. She had expected this to happen, so she arranged for the backhand. "One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand... Is there anyone else bidding? No? Three times a hundred thousand, congratulations, Erye Guo."

    "Acceptance." Guo Er proudly bowed his hands to everyone.

    It was the same situation several times in a row. Both countries refused to increase the price and kept the price low, but every time it was Guo Er who spoiled the situation.

    Mu Wanqing boasted sincerely, "Our Daqi is very powerful, our financial resources are amazing, and it is far superior to other countries. Not bad, not bad, it's really something to be proud of."

    Hu Tu couldn't help it. "It's not fair. How can you sell to one person in a row? I heard that this businessman is very close to you?"

    Mu Wanqing asked confidently, "Is this important? You can not buy it, and you can still control whether I sell it or not? It's really wide, hehe."

    "Besides, I'm only selling this once, and I've made enough money anyway."

    These words made everyone present feel tight in their chests. Yes, she made millions in a few days.

    Hu Tu simply messed around, "Why do I think you are using this method to transfer things to him? You don't really want to sell it to us.

    Mu Wanqing spread her hands, "You can think so, the opportunity is in front of you, everyone has a chance."

    Her eyes fell on the merchants, and the merchants felt aggrieved. They wanted to buy it, but... they dared not offend their nobles.

    Daqi's businessmen dodged their eyes.

    Hutu:  …

    Mu Wanqing didn't care about their thoughts at all, and continued the process, "Start shooting the fifth..."

    This time, Hu Tu did not hesitate any more, "One hundred and one thousand."

    "150,000." Guo Er deliberately raised the price.

    Hu Tu gritted his teeth secretly, "160,000."

    King Yan winked at him, didn't he say okay? How did he change his mind on his own?

    Hu Tu turned a blind eye, "190,000."

    "Twenty thousand."

    In the end, Hu Tu succeeded in taking one photo.

    In any case, always buy one and take it back for delivery.

    King Yan saw that he had changed his mind without hesitation, destroyed the alliance, and vomited blood in anger, but he had nothing to do with him.

    Xiwu has it, and they must have it in Chu.

    Otherwise, what will the emperor think if this matter is passed back?

    That’s all, let’s take a photo of it and take it back to open it up for research.

    Anyway, he still has a second set of plans, he slowly figured it out, and he couldn't believe that he couldn't win Mu Wanqing.

    If people and money get both, that is the biggest winner.

    In the end, he also sold one for 200,000 yuan.

    Everyone thought the auction was over, but Mu Wanqing clapped her hands and said in a relaxed tone.

    "Okay, the business is over, let's play a different trick. I still have some secret recipes for food on hand. Please join us."

    What snow maiden, toast, croissants, puffs, biscuits, crepes, macarons and other small snacks immediately attracted everyone's attention.

    The price starts at 20,000 yuan. Compared with the previous one, this price is as cheap as the price of cabbage, which makes the hearts of everyone present.

    This time, the suppressed businessmen couldn't help but get involved, and tolerated the big ones. It's time for them to get their hands on such small things.

    King Yan and Hu Tu couldn't continue to press hard, and the waterwheel could still use the reason of national interests, but these little desserts were unreasonable.

    Cut people's fortunes, such as murdering their parents, even the humble businessman will rebel in anger.

    Always leave some room for others, but also leave a way out for yourself, you can't do things completely.

    Once the repressed businessmen let themselves go, they immediately consumed revenge.

    Under the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere, everything was auctioned for sky-high prices, and almost everyone had a share.

    Of course, the biggest winner is Mu Wanqing.

    Looking at the beaming crowd, King Yan always felt that something was wrong, as if he was being led away by Mu Wanqing's nose. Was it an illusion?

    He thought about it, "Qingping Township Lord, this auction was very successful, you have to invite everyone to a drink."

    Mu Wanqing said generously, "Okay, come here, please go to the parlour for a banquet."

    She bowed her hands to everyone, "Everyone eat and drink well, I will not accompany you."

    Before everyone could react, she turned her head and left.

    King Yan blocked her way, "No, you just left? You are the master."

    Mu Wanqing pointed to her pretty face, "I'm a woman, what's the point of drinking with you big men? I'm going to get married, so I'm leaving."

    The corner of King Yan's mouth twitched. Why didn't she feel that there was a problem when she was holding an auction?

    "You are an excuse."

    Mu Wanqing put her hands on her hips, her eyes widened, and she nodded confidently, "Yes, I have the money, why should I socialize with you? It's a waste of time."

    Their money was squeezed out by her! It's worthless!

    King Yan was stunned, his wife was so shameless! Scumbag!

    On the other side, Commander Ji, who was hiding in the dark and watching the whole process, made the eyes of the family of three shine brightly.

    As soon as Mu Wanqing came in, Ji's family couldn't wait to ask, "Wanqing, how did you expect that they have reached a consensus that Guo Er's entrustment was arranged by you in advance? He was not on the invitation list before, so he deliberately confuses the public, right? "

    "Put the cake first, then the waterwheel, and finally the dessert. What's the point of this order?"

    "Why do I think the whole rhythm was carefully arranged by you? You predicted their reactions in advance?"

    The author says:
