[180] The weird Zhou family

Xie Feng, Gao Tower, Shelot, Mitheus and the others sat around before the meal was cooked, and the three of Ramino had already returned, Xiao Xun served everyone a bowl of fragrant rice, and then sat next to Xie Feng and ate with them.

According to the rules, maids and maids are not allowed to eat at the same table as their masters, but Xie Feng let Xiao Xun sit down with customs, which is also the reason why Xiao Xun was moved, Xie Feng didn't treat her as a maid at all, but cared for her like a sister.

After a few days of getting along, Xie Feng and the others became familiar with Xiao Xun, the little girl who suddenly joined, and when they talked about certain things, they didn't let her leave, which was a kind of recognition for Xiao Xun.

"Fourth, Yan Sheng's matter of the auction of the store management right has been prepared, and the public anger caused is quite large, and it is estimated that there will be troublemakers in tomorrow's auction." Tower said as he ate his meal.

Nodding, Xie Feng said: "It's normal to have troublemakers, but Yan Sheng's image has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is normal for him to do this, the troublemakers are just the original operators of those stores, and most of the others are probably gearing up, wanting to take pictures of those dozen stores and expand their business scope." In general, Yan Sheng's move can still be approved by most people. ”

Sherete Mitheus said: "We will also go to the scene tomorrow to take a look, in case the Xue family will make any trouble, after all, Yan Sheng is just a rich businessman, and compared to the family, there is still an insurmountable distance." ”

The main job of a merchant is to make money, and the family also has to manage a huge territory, and all expenses are very amazing, so in terms of strength, the family is stronger than the merchant. But when it comes to wealth, many families, especially low-class families, are obviously inferior to the rich. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and the network of businessmen is also quite large, and they often affect the whole body, and they can't be underestimated.

Of course, compared with the big family, the merchant is always just a businessman, and it is impossible to compare the business without power with the industry run by the big family. Without strong economic strength, can a big family cultivate many excellent management talents and masters?

No matter how much money a wealthy merchant has, it is difficult to get real power, but a powerful family can easily make money. The two are not obvious.

The next day, a large restaurant located in the east area of Jiutian Mall was renovated and turned into an auction house. Early in the morning, merchants who had arrived one after another after hearing the news arrived and entered the restaurant under the guidance of the waiter to wait for the auction to begin.

The scorching sun slowly rose into the sky, more and more hovercars stopped in front of the gate of the restaurant, and almost the merchants of the entire eastern area came, and even there were many merchants in other districts.

Zhou Tiezhu and the others naturally came early, looking at the merchants and heads of various families in the restaurant, Zhou Tiezhu couldn't help but feel nervous, among the families present, it is estimated that only one of them is a seventh-class family, and next, this seventh-class family will take over the management rights of thirteen stores, just imagining, it makes Zhou Tiezhu shudder.

What will others think of the Zhou family at that time? Let's ask a small Zhou family, how can it compete with other families? These problems have always made Zhou Tiezhu feel his scalp tingle, and he has the feeling of walking on a tightrope above the sky. But Zhou Tiezhu also knew very well in his heart that this opportunity must not be missed, otherwise, he would be too sorry for the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tiezhu couldn't help but touch the note in his arms, and finally felt a little more steady, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go" led the Zhou family into the restaurant auction hall.

On the second floor, Xie Feng, Shelot, Mitheus and others were already sitting here, and Gao Ta, Ramino and the others were arranged to disperse to the crowd on the first floor to be able to respond to emergencies in time. Especially the special ability of the tower, at this time, it can unconsciously affect the words and deeds of others.

From the private seat on the second floor, you can directly see the situation of the host platform downstairs, and there is still an hour before the official start of the auction. Suddenly, Xie Feng noticed that a few eyes were shooting towards him, and he frowned slightly, and he raised his eyes.

"Well, are these guys?" The first thing Xie Feng saw at first glance was Ouyang Xin, a girl who was very similar to Murong Tianzi, and when she met Xie Feng's gaze, she immediately turned her head to the side, as if she was a little dodgy, and she didn't dare to look at Xie Feng.

Another resentful gaze was Liu Yeyun's, this guy, Leng didn't understand how he was kicked away by Xie Feng that night, but he was not an idiot, after that time, he was already very clear about Xie Feng's hidden strength, which could only be described in two words: terrible.

But this time he dared to come, naturally he had something to rely on, next to Liu Yeyun, it was his two senior uncles, both of whom were masters of the ninefold peak of internal strength, and when they learned that Liu Yeyun and Ouyang Xin were being bullied, Huayangmen, who was protecting the calf, immediately sent two masters to help them.

Huayang Gate is a dignified five-star martial arts sect, and if it is bullied, it is natural to find a way back, otherwise it will not attract people's laughter?

"Master, do you want me to teach them a lesson?" Carter suddenly spoke, and he was a little unhappy with the unkindness of those people in Huayangmen.

Xie Feng smiled, his smile was full of evil spirit, "We are good people, we don't take the initiative to bully others, and after the auction is over, it is estimated that they will automatically come to the door to find a draw." ”

Shelotmetheus on the side also smiled, although he rarely made a move, and even after arriving on Earth, he never fought with anyone again, but his strength was also unfathomable. Galena once commented on Shelotmetheus, he is a master who is infinitely close to King Droqira, and no one knows his true strength.

In addition, there were two other glances that also made Xie Feng frown, especially the old man standing behind Shangguan Wuxi, his gaze was so sharp, Xie Feng could feel that this person had been looking at him since he appeared, and his strength was not weak, much stronger than the two masters of Huayangmen.

After cultivating the Xuantian Martial Technique, Xie Feng could also judge the strength of a martial artist with his faint aura. It's a wonderful feeling, as if there is some kind of resonance between the warriors.

The arrival of the Shangguan family makes people feel a little weird, curious how such a powerful family can appear in this auction, the huge family industry of the Shangguan family, and the more than a dozen shops in the Jiutian Shangcheng District?

Of course, no one would think that the eldest young master of the Shangguan family came here to watch the play, and it is not yet possible to know their purpose, and the answer will be revealed after the auction starts. If the Shangguan family really came to compete for the right to operate those dozen stores, it is estimated that no one would dare to compete with them.

Which one of them who can be a businessman is not the reincarnation of a fox, and he can also think with his ass that once he provokes the Shangguan family, he will wait to be played to death. Except for Xie Feng and the others, it is estimated that there is no one present who is not afraid of the Shangguan family.

The Xue family is also in the elegant seat on the second floor, and in the Nine Heavens Mall, the Xue family is also a big force. In the five districts of the entire Nine Days Mall, there are only six fifth-class families, and most of the rest are sixth-class, and there are not no seventh-class families like the Zhou family, but they are all shrunk in the corner, and no one can have such good luck as the Zhou family.

The elegant seat of the Shangguan family was diagonally opposite Xie Feng and the others, and after everyone glanced at these people's unkind gazes, they basically ignored them, the second-class family is very large, but compared to the entire Xie Empire, there is no comparison at all. And which one of you is not the core figure of the Xie Empire? Even the supreme lord of the Xie Empire was present, and in terms of identity, I am afraid that Ramino and the others are a few levels higher than the head of the Shangguan family.

"Oops, sorry, I'm late."

A lazy voice came, Xie Feng turned his head to look, and saw Li Hong shaking the folding fan in his hand, smiling down the stairs to the second floor. He glanced at Ouyang Xin, and then looked at Xie Feng's side, he didn't even have a superb beauty, and couldn't help sighing, but he still walked towards Xie Feng's side.

When he came to the private seat of Xie Feng and others, Li Hong sat down directly as if he had arrived at his own home, grabbed a fruit and took a bite, and said while chewing: "Brother Jin has a lot of space here, don't you mind if your brother occupies a place?" ”

Xie Feng couldn't cry or laugh, "You've all sat down, could it be that I still throw you downstairs?" ”

Li Hong put away the folding fan and said with a smile: "Brother Jin is a generous person, otherwise, the younger brother really wouldn't dare to come to you, sitting in the middle of so many masters, the younger brother is terrified."

When Shelotte and Carter heard Li Hong's words, they couldn't help but glance at him. Xie Feng said with a smile: "Masters are also people, if you don't mess with them, who will trouble you with idle eggs?" ”

"Brother Jin said the same, a rookie like the little brother, it is estimated that the master is too lazy to take a look, hehe" Li Hong smiled and said: "Last time, I really thanked Brother Jin for wanting to make it, the red pill of the best demon girl is really a big supplement, and the little brother is grateful." ”

Capturing the trace of sincere gratitude in Li Hong's eyes, Xie Feng smiled faintly and did not discuss the matter of the best demon girl. After all, he doesn't know much about this kind of thing, so it's hard to talk about anything in depth.

Li Hong smiled on the surface and was not serious, but he was able to compete with Liu Yeyun and Shangguan Wuxi for Ouyang Xin, this alone can show that this person's identity is not simple, and Xie Feng does not ask about his identity, just like Li Hong does not ask about him. When everyone meets, they will have a drink if they get along, and it is another matter whether they get along or not.

Diagonally opposite, seeing that Li Hong was actually talking and laughing with Xie Feng, Shangguan Wuxi couldn't help but snort coldly, "This Hong Zimu is really a cynical person who wants to make friends with everyone." ”

"Hong Zimu?" Shangguan Hai couldn't help frowning when he heard this name, but he didn't think about it deeply, and continued to look at Xie Feng, he could clearly feel that Xie Feng was just a martial artist who had just cultivated to the second level of internal strength, and young people with this kind of strength were everywhere, and it was not worth mentioning.

However, Shangguan Wuxi said that this golden boy could kick Liu Yeyun, who was in a state of internal strength, which made Shangguan Hai puzzled. From the resentful look in Liu Yeyun's eyes, it was not difficult to find that he hated and feared yes, obviously Shangguan Wuxi was not lying.

However, how can a martial artist with two internal strength defeat a master with seven internal strength?

This is the reason why Shangguan Hai pays attention to Xie Feng, but with the strength of his acquired realm, Leng didn't see that Xie Feng had any other special features besides the strength of the inner diameter double. If you really want to say that there is, it is the indifference revealed between Xie Feng's words and deeds, which is a kind of temperament that has been in a high position for a long time and ignores the common people.

It is really intriguing that such a temperament appears in a young man.

Smack

A crisp knocking sound woke Shangguan Hai up, and at the same time attracted everyone's attention.

Downstairs, on the stage, one of Yan Sheng's stewards officially announced the start of the auction. In the elegant seat, Li Hong asked curiously: "Brother Jin, do you also like to watch dramas?" There are a lot of people who come to see the play today. ”

Xie Feng smiled, "Aren't you also here to see the play?" ”

Li Hong's expression was still the same as that grin, and he said casually, "I'm purely here to watch the play." ”

Knowing that he had something to say, Xie Feng didn't say anything, and after laughing, he didn't speak anymore, but paid attention to the progress of the auction. With Zhang Wang's introduction, the merchants who came to participate in the auction of the management rights of the thirteen stores had a new understanding of the geographical location and current situation of the thirteen stores.

These thirteen shops are all shops whose contracts are about to expire, and in addition to the two of the Zhou family, there are three other families with the best location. The location of the other eight stores is not bad, but it is not bad for those operators who are in worse locations.

Due to the good geographical location, the Zhou family's tea shop, seafood shop and other three shops have naturally become the focus of everyone's competition. The five shops are very large in size, making them ideal for any business.

"Now the official auction begins, first of all, the shop at No. 127 on No. 9 Street, the starting price is 500 silver dollars per year, and each bid is not less than 50 silver dollars, and the highest bidder gets "Because the denomination of the gold dollar is larger, the merchants like to use the silver dollar to conduct normal transactions, and watch the wooden hammer in their hands fall, "The auction begins"

The businessmen in the audience and the stewards of various families were silent for a while, the Yan family was really ruthless enough, and the starting price was directly the original price of this shop. Everyone was secretly thinking about the value of this shop, and after a while, the Liu family, who was operating in store 127, was the first to make a bid.

"Five hundred and fifty"

Although they were angry in their hearts, the Liu family could only reluctantly accept the fact that Yan Sheng had withdrawn the right to operate.

The auction of the right to operate the shop is not like other curios, after all, businessmen use the shop to make money, if the rent is too high, who wants to rent it? Only a business idiot who loses money will do it.

"Six hundred", a merchant who wanted to get a better store, raised the price a little more.

The scene was a little cold, and the chaotic chatter was endless, but no one was willing to pay too much for the management rights of this store. The Liu family gritted their teeth and raised the price by another fifty silver dollars, the profit brought by the "six hundred and five" store to the Liu family is still not small, the rent is expensive, at most it is to make less, but it is better than not having to make any money.

On the elegant seat on the second floor, Xie Feng glanced at Zhou Tiezhu without a trace, and found that his expression was still a little nervous, and he wanted to raise one hand but was a little hesitant and undecided. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the second floor, Xie Feng nodded at him slightly, but he didn't look at him squarely.

Zhou Tiezhu understood, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and immediately raised his hand, "Seven hundred"

The Liu family immediately cast a resentful gaze, and found that it was the Zhou family's person who was bidding, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression. The other businessmen and the housekeepers of the family were also stunned, and secretly said what the Zhou family wanted to do? With such a high price, do they feel that their store bidding is hopeless, and they want to auction off the management rights of other stores, and proudly stay in Jiutian Mall to continue to operate?

When people think of this, they are relieved. After all, the Zhou family has also been operating in Jiutian Mall for hundreds of years, and there are many old customers, and if they leave suddenly, they will inevitably lose a lot, and it seems that they are desperate.

Liu Jiafu was not angry, and he was ruthless and raised the price to seven hundred and five. Although Zhou Tiezhu was nervous, the handwritten note written by Yan Sheng in his arms made him a little more courageous than being others, and continued to bid, "Eight hundred"

This time, the Liu family is impotent, and they will not do loss-making business, so they will no longer bid for the auction. The price of 800 has nearly doubled the original rent, and who can afford it.

Zhang Wang saw that there was no one bidding with the Zhou family, so the auction was finalized, "Okay, the No. 127 store will be auctioned by the Zhou family, and it will be delivered in two months." ”

After the pause, the next round of bidding continues.

To everyone's surprise, the second round of bidding was one of the five best-located stores.

Suddenly, everyone's emotions soared.

As soon as Zhang Wang's words fell, the bidders and the stewards of various families scrambled to be the first, because the starting price was relatively low, and people had their own bottom lines in their hearts, so the scene was extremely hot for a while, and the price climbed all the way. As soon as the bidding here fell, a new price was shouted over there.

When the bidding price was two thousand two, the voice gradually thinned out. Businessmen are sane investors, not blind risk-takers. Moreover, bidding for the right to operate a store is not a risk, and you must think rationally.

The location of the No. 78 shop is unique, and it is surrounded by shops dealing in various metal utensils, and only families who mainly manufacture metal utensils will continue to bid at this time.

"Two Thousand Five"

Suddenly, a voice made the audience quiet, because the bidder turned out to be Zhou Tiezhu of the Zhou family.

Now everyone else is confused, the Zhou family is mainly in the tea and seafood industry, why is it bidding for store No. 78?

The discussion came and went, everyone was confused, and it was also a loss that Zhou Tiezhu had seen a lot of wind and waves, and his face remained unchanged at all, and after the bidding, he withdrew his hand, silent, and there was no other strange expression on his face.

"Two thousand eight" someone continues to raise the price.

Zhou Tiezhu immediately followed, "Three thousand"

Seeing that the Zhou family was bound to win, no one finally raised the price anymore, because the price of 3,000 was already a sky-high price for the No. 78 store.

The next three shops to bid for were all obtained by the Zhou family at a high price. Finally, the other merchants began to feel that the Zhou family was a little weird, such a high price, in the Nine Heavens Mall, is it worth it? How much money can you make? Are the Zhou family all fools?

Feeling the disdain and bewildered gaze of the surrounding crowd, Zhou Tiezhu didn't dare to think about anything else at this time, anyway, he gritted his teeth and offered a high price. He raised his head and glanced at Xie Feng, for some reason, he felt that as long as Xie Feng nodded at this matter, there would be no mistake.

"Huh?" Shangguan Wuxi inadvertently discovered Zhou Tiezhu's movements, and couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that behind the Zhou family, the surname Jin is supporting him?" ”
