Chapter 166 - Mission Began (1/2)
They needed money and fame.
If Su Yan had given them the money directly, it would have been unfair. Su Yan did not plan to invest the money herself, but to use the resources in her hands to earn money.
The underground gem industry was actually an auction house. What made it famous was that it auctioned raw stones. No one knew what it would be after opening it. It could become rich overnight, or it could instantly destroy one's family.
Even though they knew it was dangerous, everyone still rushed to it.
Su Yan planned to build an auction house. It was to package the gem and sell it in the form of an auction.
If one were lucky, everyone would be able to pick up the pieces. If one was unlucky and encountered a high price, one could choose not to bid.
Then everyone would be willing to participate.
Moreover, the common people had never participated in an auction before, so it would attract a large number of people's attention at first. However, this was not a long-term thing, so Su Yan only planned to use the auction as a gimmick to attract people's attention.
As for why the location was set in the city, it was because it was a symbol of nobility.
It was used to attract those who really had the ability to spend.
Su Yan quickly ordered people to tidy up the mansion in the city.
She also asked Chu Tao to go to Mother Fei's Cloud Robe Pavilion to take out all of her outdated clothes. There were two ways. One was to sell the clothes and take 70% as the profit of the shop, and the auction house would take 30%.
Second, they would buy the clothes at the original price.
Mother Fei naturally happily chose to sell the clothes at the original price.
After a while, a few large boxes of clothes were sent to Guang Residence.
Chu Tao looked at these outdated clothes and did not know what Su Yan was doing.
Su Yan went to the jewelry store without stopping. She found Liu Meiniang and asked for a batch of jewelry. They agreed to split it 70-30.
Liu Meiniang 70%, Su Yan 30%.
After all this, it was already dark.
Su Yan brought Chu Tao and Chun Xia to count the items bit by bit. She even dragged Jin Tong over.
