Chapter 1199: The Auction of Gathering Storms
The Heavenly Saint Auction House, which is the entire Heavenly Saint Country, is also the largest and most luxurious auction venue in the world.
It is said that there is a giant behind the scenes, and the auction items are all quite high-quality, rare to see, and there are even lots from different planes.
No one knew who the real owner of this auction house was, only a person in charge on the surface, an old man with a white beard. Even if he hadn't done anything, just being the manager of the auction hall was enough to make him one of the top performers in the Heavenly Saint Kingdom.
This is enough to see the strong influence of this auction house.
Today, there is a grand auction that will be held here.
Since the people who come and go in the venue are businessmen and celebrities, the management of order is also quite strict. In front of the door stood a platoon of staff, dressed like an army ready to go. If a spiritual cultivator approached, he would immediately sense that there was also a rather weak spiritual power fluctuation surging in these gatekeepers.
In the midst of the uproar, Jia Dafu, a recent figure of the hour, walked towards the venue in a big way.
Beside him, a group of reporters hugged him. Some of these are his own reporters, and some are media reporters who rushed to hear the news and wanted to grab the first-hand news. They seized the last opportunity to ask questions one after another, and at this time, even a casual sentence from Jia Dafu could be hyped up by them and become today's front page headlines.
The sound of praise, the sound of interviews, all kinds of voices mixed together, and converged into a turbulent wave.
In this regard, Jia Dafu is quite satisfied. In the face of reporters, he always greeted people with a smile and answered their every question enthusiastically. Although this crowded scene also seemed to bring him a lot of pressure. At this moment, he was holding a handkerchief, and from time to time he gently wiped the bright beads of sweat from his head.
He had been preparing for this day for a long time. Not only did he call for money and high loans, but he also used his connections to infiltrate each underground casino and invested a lot of money in his name. At that time, once he succeeds in winning the Tengfei Building, these chips will immediately turn into an endless stream of money, plating a layer of gold edge to his glory again.
Therefore, his most important moment is enough to cause a major earthquake in the real estate market, and he must bring enough reporters to record this victory scene for the first time!
Jia Dafu thought so, however, when they were about to enter, this huge team was stopped by the staff at the door.
"Sorry, no unrelated people are allowed. ”
Jia Dafu is used to giving orders, and no matter where he goes, he is chased and held by others, who has been angry, and immediately retorts angrily: "I am your guest, and the guest is God, do you understand?
The staff replied expressionlessly: "The other guests here do not want to be harassed, in order to protect their privacy, reporters are not allowed to enter, please follow the rules." ”
Jia Dafu was completely enraged, and he rolled up his sleeves three or two times: "I don't think you know who I am, don't you? Don't you want to do it? Tell you, the money I want to invest here today is enough to support you wage earners for a few lifetimes......
The staff member interrupted him suddenly, and although his tone was still polite, the aura around him had changed significantly.
"We've seen a lot of big people, and many of them are worth more than you, so ......" his voice was cold, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, "For the benefit of the other guests, please follow the rules." ”
The invisible sense of oppression suddenly emanated, and Jia Dafu inexplicably felt a chill. It was oppression from the soul, and in front of the other party, he suddenly seemed to be unable to put on the position of a superior.
At this time, the assistant on the side attached to his ear and whispered a few words, as if to persuade the boss to calm down.
Jia Dafu listened to him, his brows furrowed more and more, and he occasionally raised his eyes and glanced at the staff opposite with a little jealousy.
As we all know, for an auction house to function properly, it must first have the ability to hold the lots. Otherwise, why should the guests honestly participate in the auction and rush directly to the backstage to grab it?
In order to make the guests obey the rules, there must be a strong man behind the town. Especially in this kind of auction hall where big names gather, it is even more difficult to get them all to buy it.
But it is strange to say, for so many years, it is true that I have never heard of anyone daring to make trouble in the Heavenly Saint Auction House. Even when the distinguished guests of Tianxiao Pavilion and the Nine Shadows Hall arrived, they still acted in strict manners.
Also, although I haven't heard of any special measures here, the safety incidents are really the few. As is often the case in other auction houses, there has never been a case of post-auction stalking.
To be able to do all this, it is impossible to say that they have no means to hide.
Even the auction houses where those top forces have to sell a little face, it seems that it is indeed not something that a small boss like himself can afford to provoke.
Although Jia Dafu is arrogant, he is not stupid. He knows very well when to be tough and when to be soft. It can also be said that it is "bullying the soft and fearing the hard".
Therefore, after the assistant muttered, he didn't insist anymore, turned to the group of reporters behind him, waved his hand, and signaled them to retreat.
"Alright then, you'll just wait here. As soon as the auction results of the Tengfei Building came out, we immediately made a live report, and how many people were waiting!"
"Money is not an issue, you must make headlines for me!"
In the midst of Boss Jia's thousands of instructions, a contemptuous sneer suddenly sounded on the side.
"Do you really want to take reporters that way?"
Another protagonist of the Tengfei Building acquisition case, Xi Lingchen walked slowly from the other side at this time. He is also dressed in formal clothes, with a graceful demeanor, handsome and slightly uninhibited appearance, which makes people feel good at first sight.
Compared with the grand scene on Jia Dafu's side, there was no one on his side. Only Liu Mo, the secretary who accompanied him, smiled and held his arm, walking all the way, looking very intimate.
Suddenly, a piece of flash flashed wildly towards Jia Dafu and Xi Lingchen, capturing the rare scene of the two in the same frame.
Facing the camera, Xi Lingchen was obviously accustomed to it for a long time, and there was no slightest wave on his face, so he walked in front of Jia Dafu and stood opposite him.
"Just think so, was the reporter recording the moment of your failure?" he repeated with a faint smile.
Jia Dafu just wanted to have a seizure, but thinking of this thief boy's calculations, it was nothing more than to stimulate himself to lose his temper in front of the media. Young people are young people, and they can only play this trick.
So, he held back his anger and grinned: "There are so many people watching here, I don't care about you child." ”
Saying that, he took the initiative to step forward, glanced at the assistant beside him, and at the same time put on a "kind brother" appearance, and said to Xi Lingchen:
"Brother Xiling, my brother is worried that after today's auction, you may need to borrow money to survive from now on. It just so happens that I have a friend who runs a lending company and introduces him to you. For my sake, the interest he calculates for you at that time should also be more preferential. ”
The assistant also cooperated at this time, took out a business card and handed it to Xi Lingchen.
Seeing this kind of "sparkling" scene, the reporters all sensitively raised their cameras to see how Xilingchen was going to fight back.
However, under the watchful eye, Xi Lingchen still smiled unchanged, calmly took the business card, put it in his arms, and nodded slightly at Jia Dafu: "Then I will thank Boss Jia for his kindness." ”
The reporters were disappointed. Originally, I wanted to watch a battle of the century, but I didn't expect Xilingchen to lose first from the momentum.
In the face of such an insult, can he still be casual, is he really sure, or is he defeated before fighting?
But there are also people who feel that with Xi Lingchen's resolute behavior in the mall in the past, he will definitely not be such a person who retreats so easily. It is most appropriate to describe him as "a wolf in sheep's clothing". He will swallow you in one bite when you take it lightly, and those who underestimate him will always suffer a big loss in the end.
Of course, Jia Dafu's past methods are not very bright, and behind him, there is also a group of employees and competitors who are crying blood. To put it mildly, neither of these bosses is a good thing, but the reporters present don't care so much. Anyway, what they want is to use their hot status to win more traffic for their own reports.
Then, Xilingchen handed the magic crystal card to the staff.
"The old rules, a VIP room. ”
After the staff swiped the card on the machine he brought, he bowed politely and showed him the way.
"This way, please. ”
Xi Lingchen followed behind him, and when he was about to enter the gate, he turned his head to look at Jia Dafu again, revealing a seemingly friendly smile.
"No matter what the result of today's auction is, I hope it will not affect the relationship between me and Boss Jia. ”
After speaking, he calmly followed the staff inside. Liu Mo also held his arm tightly at all times, and his high heels made a rhythmic crisp sound on the tiles, with a graceful posture and a thousand charms.
Jia Dafu snorted. Xi Lingchen's last few words made people feel even more that he was deliberately showing weakness. Probably because he also knew that his financial resources were not good, and he was afraid that he would lose too badly, so he found a step down in advance, and said that "buying and selling is not benevolent"?
When it was the turn of the two to go through the formalities, the assistant whispered: "Boss, let's also have a VIP room, right?"
Jia Dafu waved his hand: "No, we are different from Xiling Xiaoer, we don't need to rely on the VIP room to support the row!"
"Let's sit in the hall! It's spacious, just right!"
When you succeed in bidding, you can enjoy worship from all directions, which is honorable and magnificent! If you stay in the VIP room, what's the point of stealing fun alone?
The two of them finally entered the venue smoothly, and soon after, a dragon battle between them was about to begin.
Behind the scenes, there are still reporters shooting energetically, and the click of the flash is endless. Maybe they are counting on this headline for a month's salary.
……
When Chu Tianyao, the Nine Venerables of the Nine Shadows Palace, came here, what he saw was the scene of a group of reporters flocking to him.
"What's going on over there?" Chu Tianyao frowned slightly. He doesn't like a noisy environment.
Coming here today, on the one hand, he heard that there will be a piece of Fang Tianbaoding fragment to bid here, so he naturally has to get his hands on it.
Originally, he had already contacted the auction house privately, hoping to make a direct bid and buy the fragments. However, the person in charge of the auction house said that all the lots had already been listed and could not be changed in the middle of the process. Even the Venerable of the Nine Shadows Hall had to participate in the auction according to the rules.
In this regard, although Chu Tianyao was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more. After really stepping into the world's upper echelons, he also heard about the secrets of this Heavenly Saint Auction House. It is said that the boss behind this place is also a traveler who travels to various planes, and is a figure similar to the master of the Heavenly Palace. All in all, you should never provoke easily.
In addition to this, he also wanted to choose another gift to give to the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor of the Yin Wind Hell. It can be regarded as an apology for the incident of Ghost Crying Ridge last time, so that he should stop being angry and hand over the fragments to himself as soon as possible, so that he can take them back and pay for them.
Although it is an old acquaintance, Luo Dixing will not sell his face because of this at all...... Thinking of that guy's appearance of not getting oil and salt, Chu Tianyao also felt a heartfelt headache.
"Those reporters came to interview," Mu Hansha explained in a timely manner, "The real estate giant Jia Dafu and the president of the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce, Xi Lingchen, competed for the acquisition of the Tengfei Building, and now they have been hyped up on the hot search." ”
After entering the Heavenly Palace Gate, Mu Hansha was still grateful to the Nine Venerables, the former supporter. On this day, he happened to be free, so he accompanied him to the auction hall for a walk.
Now in terms of identity, although the two are relatively equal, Mu Hansha remembers the old kindness, and in front of Chu Tianyao, he is still willing to regard himself as a subordinate.
"Hmm...... Xiling Clan?" Chu Tianyao gently rubbed his forehead, this surname left a lot of impression on him.
It is said that President Xiling's birthplace is also Yixiguo, so there should be nothing wrong with that-
As soon as he thought of the Xiling family, he naturally remembered that in Zhiyuan Academy, he was arrogant and domineering, and talked about his family power all day long, and the young master Xiling Bei, who came to the Six Imperial Desperate Realm to seize the magic weapon instead of the young master of the clan, but was unfortunately taken away by the Six Imperial Demon Monarchs on the way.
Xiling Jiangkun is okay, after all, there were only a few encounters at the beginning. When Xiling North ...... As soon as he thought of the Xiling family, he naturally remembered that when he was in Zhiyuan Academy, he was arrogant and domineering, and talked about his family power all day long; and the young master of the clan who came to the Six Imperial Desperate Realm to seize the magic weapon, but was unfortunately taken away by the Six Imperial Demon Monarchs on the way, Xiling Bei.
Xiling Jiangkun is okay, after all, there were only a few encounters at the beginning. When Xiling North ...... But he almost died at the hands of the Six Imperial Demon Lords who stood up to him!
