Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Calm Before the Storm

Finally, in the midst of all the discussions, the first auction of the Bai family was successfully held. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info auction according to Wu Ming's meaning, using the form of invitation, only those who have received the invitation letter, can participate, of course, in the city of Hangzhou, those who have some face are invited.

Many people don't know the deep meaning behind Wu Ming's move, and only a few people understand why they did it, and Song Que is one of them, so Song Que values Wu Ming a little more in his heart.

The first auction was presided over by Bai Zhan himself, and Bai Zhan followed the auction skills taught by Wu Ming, and let those people with status compete with each other, and after a bid, two pills with a capital of about 1,000 taels of silver were sold for a price of 100 taels of gold.

One hundred taels of gold, that is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver, Bai Zhan was a little surprised by such a result, and at the same time, he also had an inexplicable admiration for Wu Ming in his heart.

With the joy of winning the first battle, Bai Zhan returned to Fuzhong and came to the pharmaceutical factory. The pharmaceutical factory mentioned here is what Wu Ming means, and he called the courtyard that was originally newly built by the Bai family for refining pills as a pharmaceutical factory, so the courtyard became a pharmaceutical factory.

Wu Ming saw Bai Zhan coming with joy, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Father-in-law, the matter is over." ”

"Xiao Ming, I have to admire your ghost idea, two pills were sold for a hundred taels of gold. ”

"Father-in-law, this is just the beginning, don't worry, it will get better and better in the future!

"During this time, I have let Chopping Wind keep an eye on them, maybe because we haven't had an impact on the Zhang family yet, so they haven't made any moves yet. ”

Wu Ming said confidently: "Don't worry, they should have a move in a few days!"

"What do you want to do next?"

"In a few days, I will refine some other pills, we will start to hold a second auction, and then we will hold auctions regularly, and when the auction is gradually accepted, we can accept the auction entrusted by others, and we will take a commission from it, so that our Bai family will have a new business!"

Bai Zhan knew that it was promising to operate according to Wu Ming's words, but this didn't seem to have much to do with dealing with the Zhang family, so Bai Zhan asked, "Do you have any other way to deal with the Zhang family?"

Wu Ming said with a wicked smile: "I am going to hold an alchemist workshop, as long as it is an alchemist of our Bai family, we can be qualified to participate, and outsiders don't have to." ”

Bai Zhan was taken aback, he knew that the alchemist's elixir formula was incomparably precious, he was afraid that Wu Ming would be confused for a while and use the recipe he mastered as bait, so he hurriedly said: "If people learn everything and those people leave, then what?"

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I won't make a loss-making deal, my workshop is to study together, not a kind of free teaching, people who participate in my workshop can provide a kind of their own prescription, and I exchange the same level of pill prescriptions, we study and study together. ”

Bai Zhan's eyes lit up, he understood Wu Ming's words, the kind of workshop in his mouth was actually a kind of mutual exchange, it is conceivable that if this exchange continues to expand, then this workshop will become a special condensation, and one day it may become a terrifying behemoth.

The days continued, half a month later, the Bai family's second auction was held, and there were as many as twelve kinds of things in this auction, and the details of the lots were announced in advance.

The second auction was much more successful than the first, and after the final sword lot was finalized, Bai Zhan announced on the auction table in front of everyone that the Bai family would hold an auction on the first and fifteenth day of each month in the future, and finally ended the auction with thanks.

Leaving the auction hall, Bai Zhan and Cai Youdao did not return to Bai Mansion immediately, because they wanted to tell Wu Ming the good news, and Wu Ming was no longer in Bai's house.

Located next to Bishui Avenue in the east of Hangzhou, there is a sign of 'Research Institute' hanging on the gate of a courtyard, and Wu Ming is in this mansion at this time, and the house is where he holds a workshop.

Although the workshop was not held for a long time, in less than half a month, many alchemists were already attracted to join it, and it was precisely because of the appearance of the workshop that many new alchemists were brought to the Bai family, and many of them were from the Zhang family.

Bai Zhan and Cai Youdao came to the research institute and found Wu Ming, who was upside down with Guo Dong and the other five alchemists.

"Father-in-law, Uncle Cai, why are you here? Shouldn't it be at auction?"

Cai Youdao is the person who presided over the auction today, and he laughed and said: "Today, some people are bound to get certain goods, and they put a very high price at the beginning, so there are very few people competing for the auction, and it takes a relatively short time to auction all the lots." ”

At this time, Bai Zhan said: "Our second auction was also successful, and the Zhang family has been in a passive position during this time, I think Zhang Futian should be about to resist it, right?"

Wu Ming smiled slightly: "I heard Brother Tang Wolf say yesterday that they found out that Peng Chuan and the Jiaoyu Gang had some secret contacts during this time, and it seems that the Zhang family has fallen into the arms of the Yuwen family." ”

Cai Youdao said at this time: "Actually, we were attacked when we picked the crystal jade lotus, and we also found some clues of the Zhang family afterwards, and at that time we already suspected that they were related to the Yuwen family. ”

Bai Zhan said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Xiao Ming, since we have found that there is an abnormality in the Zhang family, I think we should be cautious and deal with it. ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I already have an idea, I want to meet with the five elders tonight. ”

Bai Zhan understood what Wu Ming meant, so he said, "I will let Chopping Wind and the elite strength of the Bai family be ready to prepare." ”

Cai Youdao smiled faintly and said, "It seems that the old long sword is out of the sheath again." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and there was something meaningful in their smiles.

Zhang's family seems to be business as usual, all the storefronts are open as usual, but the business is a little light, and Zhang Futian is also the same as usual, fanning in the shade of the lake at home.

Peng Chuan walked towards Zhang Futian, the restrained footsteps looked a little unnatural, he came to Zhang Futian's side and said: "Master, the Yuwen family has already replied, and has agreed with the city guard, and he will mobilize the city defense army to assist when the time comes." ”

Zhang Futian stopped the fan and sat up straight, only then did he see that his original face was very haggard, he did not show joy because of Peng Chuan's news, but sighed, and then said: "Master Peng, you have worked hard, if you can't do anything at that time, Master Peng doesn't have to be foolish." ”

Peng Chuan also sighed, feeling full of emotion in his heart, and simply said: "Master, rest more." ”
