When Zhou Huairen was speaking on the stage, both the ordinary people on the first floor and the dignitaries on the second floor were a little bit unbelievable. You know, Datang Tianniang is already very delicious. At least in their cognition, there is no liquor that tastes better than this. But now there is a liquor that surpasses Datang Tianniang.
“It tastes good…”
A loud noise was heard from inside the VIP room on the second floor, which belonged to someone unknown.
The people on the first floor couldn't wait any longer and urged Zhou Huairen to hurry up, as they also wanted to taste the wine as soon as possible.
"The fragrance lingers on my lips and teeth. It's really a good wine. Did you hide it from me from the beginning?"
In the private room in the middle of the third floor, Li Shimin also took a sip. Unlike the people below, those people only took a sip, but Li Shimin had a whole jar.
"Grandpa, you've wronged me. You know brewing wine isn't that simple. It's not something you can just do with your mouth. There are so many steps involved. I've been constantly improving the production process, and that's how I came up with the One-Star Datang Tianniang."
Li Xiang looked aggrieved, but Li Shimin knew that his grandson was a little rascal, so he did not continue to talk about this issue. However, Li Shimin noticed another problem. You call this a one-star Tang Dynasty wine, so will there be two-star and three-star wines in the future?
"You've written too many articles about liquor. Be careful not to overdo it. Your great-uncle is not someone you can get along with easily. If you displease him, you'll have a lot of trouble in the future."
Li Shimin had tasted this liquor. Fifteen strings of coins per pound was indeed not expensive, of course, only for the rich and powerful. But for ordinary people, it was probably not drinking, but most likely drinking their lives.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I know what to do about this matter. I've already reserved my uncle's share, and I've also left you 30%."
Everyone likes to make money. Even though Li Shimin is the richest man in the world, his pocket is still empty. If Li Shimin is not allowed to make money, Li Xiang will probably be the one who suffers in the end.
"It's up to you."
Li Shimin didn't show it on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.
"Good wine, good wine..."
"It's even better than the Tang Dynasty's Heavenly Brew..."
There were praises from the audience one after another. Li Xiang was relieved by this result. He was afraid that some people would say that he sold it too expensively, but now it seems that no one will care about the price.
"Then we'll start the auction now. Today's total is 30 kilograms. Currently, the wine hasn't been delivered to other places in Chang'an City yet, so we're the only one that has it. We'll be supplying 30 kilograms every morning, with each 5 kilogram portion being one. We'll only auction six portions, each lasting 30 days, which works out to 150 kilograms. The starting price is 2,000 strings of cash."
After listening to Zhou Huairen's words, everyone finally understood that Li Xiang was quite generous and it was impossible for him to auction two kilograms of wine alone. It turned out that he was auctioning 150 kilograms at a time, but the supply was divided into 30 days. If you have a high alcohol tolerance, you may drink it all in one day. If you want to drink more, you can only wait until tomorrow, which also increased people's expectations.
"Also, let me briefly explain our new auction system. For example, if the first batch of liquor is auctioned for 3,000 guan coins, then the starting price for the second batch will also be 3,000 guan coins."
Zhou Huairen added a little bit, but it was because of this addition that many people below changed their expressions. Originally, many people wanted to get a bargain. They thought that the first few shares would be fiercely contested, and after these wealthy families had bought them, they could buy the rest. They didn't expect Zhou Huairen to do this, so it was impossible for those who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
"We are now auctioning five kilograms of one-star Tang Dynasty Heavenly Brewing. The supply period is thirty days."
Zhou Huairen did not let these people express their opinions, but immediately struck the gong. This was just an appetizer, and we still have a lot of things to do next!
"Four thousand strings of cash."
Just when everyone was about to bid, the price of private room number three on the second floor had already been given.
This move was really big. The price was doubled at the beginning, which also kicked off the competition. Zhou Huairen had just said that it would be impossible to supply the goods in the short term, so everyone wanted to try it out. At least within this month, I am afraid that the goods will not be available in other places.
Even if it can be put on the market, the supply will not be large. The star-less Datang Tianniang has been on the market for a month, but the supply is still the same. Everyone is privately speculating that such fine wine is definitely not available in as much quantity as you want, and the manufacturing process and raw materials should be very difficult.
"Young Master Cui is offering four thousand strings of cash. Are there any more bids?"
Others don’t know who this box belongs to, but Zhou Huairen knows it very well.
Young Master Cui?
The Qinghe Cui family or the Boling Cui family?
Many people below were whispering. Of course, no matter which family it was, they were definitely not someone they could fight against.
"Do you think it's a bit silly for the Cui family to offer this much?"
In Li Shimin's mind, this wine was indeed good. Even if it weighed 150 kilograms, 3,000 strings of cash would be the maximum price. The Cui family raised the price to 4,000 strings of cash all of a sudden. What were they thinking?
"Grandpa, they are not stupid. They scared off many suitors in one go."
Li Xiang was also very impressed in his heart. He didn't expect that in this era there would be such a courageous person. He could scare away other people with an extremely high price and completely monopolize the goods. After the goods were monopolized, what the price would be in the future would probably be decided by the Cui family.
Of course, Li Xiang will also cooperate. At least in this one month, Li Xiang will not increase the share casually. If he increases the share casually, the auction will not be able to continue.
While Li Shimin was pondering this sentence, the first batch of liquor had already been sold, and Cui Yuncheng had completed the handover with Zhou Huairen.
"Now we start the auction of the second batch of wine."
"Four thousand strings of cash."
After completing the handover, Cui Yuncheng did not return to the second floor. Instead, he shouted directly from the audience, which made the people around him dumbfounded again. You have already bought a copy, so you should give us some chances. I didn’t expect that you actually wanted to press on with your victory?
Could it be that your Cui family has bought all the wine?
Many people have shown solemn expressions on their faces. Does the Cui family really have this ability? Do they really want to buy it all?
