Chapter 999 Auction House

As night fell, the entrance of the Minzu Park was already full of people. Although it was already evening, the Minzu Park was full of bright lights. The people were lying outside the iron gate and looking inside, hoping to capture the scenery inside the park.

Basically, the people who came were all family. The children sat on their father's shoulders and stared at the colorful lights inside curiously.

I could only hear a crisp female voice coming from the loudspeaker in the folk paradise.

"Good evening, everyone, today is New Year's Eve. At this moment, we are broadcasting to you in the folk paradise of the Tang Dynasty. Let us bid farewell to the old and welcome the new and spend a good night together."

"On this family reunion and a happy New Year's Eve, all the staff of our Minzu Park will accompany you to listen to the sound of the coming of the New Year."

"No matter who you are at this moment, please accept our best wishes. On behalf of all the staff of the Minzu Park, I would like to wish you a happy New Year."

After the broadcast was completed, there was a melodious sound of flutes, followed by the sound of an electric bell, and the large iron gate of the folk paradise slowly opened.

"Please enter the folk park in an orderly manner, do not crowd, take care of your children and your personal belongings, and do not lose them. If any children are lost, please be sure to contact the staff in the park as soon as possible."

It's strange that at first, the people who wanted to fly into the Minzu Park consciously lined up and entered the Minzu Park in an orderly manner after hearing this broadcast.

Foreigners who originally wanted to not abide by the rules wanted to squeeze in, but after seeing the neat team, they gave up the idea. They all lined up honestly.

Seeing those foreigners obediently lined up behind them, the people's faces were filled with pride. This is the national pride from the bottom of their hearts.

"Hey, it's better for us, the Tang Dynasty, to let these foreigners line up with us."

"That's right, no matter who comes to this Minzu Park, you have to queue up obediently. Just now, I saw a few foreigners not queuing up, but they were driven back by someone wearing that dress with a stick."

After the man said that, he pointed to the person wearing the clothes in his mouth.

Zhang Nan also thoughtfully put on the same uniform for them. In order to ensure order and prevent those who are interested from making trouble in the Minzu Park, the security guards here were temporarily drawn from the army.

But the sabre on their waists turned into rubber batons.

They don’t care what your status is, and there is no difference between envoys and princes in their eyes. As long as they come to the Tang Dynasty, they must abide by the rules. If they don’t abide by the rules, they will be punished.

"Big... Master, where are we going?" A middle-aged man said to the young man beside him. This was really a puzzling pair, but the young man smiled softly and then said, "I have already received the invitation from Emperor Tang, so I will naturally go to this mysterious place."

After saying that, the young man shook the invitation in his hand.

In fact, young people themselves don’t know what the mysterious thing on this invitation is, because there are no words on this invitation, only a simple picture.

This picture is the map in the folk paradise, and the mysterious place he mentioned was also drawn in a circle.

The two of them were all in a row and finally found the marked place in the picture. However, after arriving at the place, they discovered that all the people gathered at the door were foreigners.

The young man finally lined up to the door with the middle-aged man.

"Invitation." The person checking the ticket at the door said expressionlessly.

"Invitation? Oh, that's it." The young man suddenly remembered the map in his hand.

The ticket inspector took the invitation from the young man and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, he also made an invitation gesture.

The young man smiled at the ticket checker, and then quickly took his entourage into this very luxurious house that looked decorated.

"Qingquan, why did you ask so many foreign envoys to come here?" At this time, Comrade Li sat in the private room prepared for him by Zhang Nan, eating the grapes caught in the greenhouse while looking down through the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him.

"Didn't I say everything? Make money." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"I know, but I'm curious about what you plan to make money?" Comrade Li asked, spitting out the grape skin from his mouth.

"Auction." Zhang Nan said concisely.

In fact, "auction" has been around since ancient times, but the truly recorded auction started in the seventh century. At that time, there was a kind of "singing and selling" that originated from the way Indian Buddhism dealt with the clothes of the dead monks, which gradually spread in Chinese Buddhist temples in the seventh century.

A passage from "The Law of Ten Friends" says that the Buddha said: "From today, if the monks sell clothes, if they are not sang three times, the price should be increased." "Three songs are not sang, the price should not be violated." The "three songs" mentioned here refer to the last three bids; "foreign price" means an increase, and "foreign" means a conflict. It roughly means that when the clothes are auctioned, when the bid is less than three times, the bidder can continue to increase the price without being restricted until the auction target is sold three times.

At this time, there was no real auction with systematic procedures in the Tang Dynasty.

"Those who have the highest price will get it, right?" Comrade Lao Li said.

"Yes, the price is higher. Your Majesty, you don't know that in the Tang Dynasty, there are more than just silk and porcelain that foreigners are envied by foreign countries. For example, the daily necessities we use on weekdays, such as the perfume used by the Queen, which is a sales craze abroad." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Is it so powerful?" Comrade Lao Li has not conducted an investigation into this matter, so he is not very clear about it.

"Of course, your lord, you probably know that these foreigners have a strong body odor, so they also want to cover up their body odor, but these beautiful flowers are not available all year round, so spices are too expensive and obviously not suitable for daily use. At this time, the value of perfume is highlighted." When Zhang Nan clicked here, Comrade Li knew what Zhang Nan meant.

It is very simple. It is to rely on this auction to open up the sales channels for goods that can be sold in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, these things will spread to the country of these envoys. Even if Comrade Lao Li doesn't say it, these envoys will probably have to use their own money to rush to do business with Comrade Lao Li.

"Yes, this method is good. Then I will watch you perform clearly today." Comrade Li said with a smile. Comrade Li is no longer the self-proclaimed emperor.

He knew that if you want to get rich, business is an indispensable part.
