Chapter 528: The Auction House
The hill tower auction house in Jinxiu West City occupies a fairly large area, a rectangular building with large pillars facing the main street, and there are twelve-story stone towers and courtyards everywhere at the back.
"Bang!click~~~"
As the morning sun rose, the light swayed down, and the handymen in the auction house had already begun to clean the ground outside the hall with a broom.
The wooden frame with the door panel was moved out, and the information that the owner had changed people and bought Lingbao and ancient treasures at a high price was written on it.
"Haven't you come yet?"
Hua Feihua, an old woman masked in black cloth, walked out of the main hall and asked a housekeeper at the auction house.
"The person sent to urge is back, and the choir will be coming soon. The slightly beautiful woman in charge responded respectfully to the old lady Hua Feihua.
"If you don't do well in the singing class, don't expect to get a reward, so are you, cheer me up, if something goes wrong, see how I clean you up. The old woman Hua Feihua looked very tricky and spoke harshly to the woman's steward.
It had been more than ten days since Ji Fan and his party came to Jinxiu City, and it was precisely because he gave Hua Feihua and Bai Xueyan the intention to buy the ancient treasure that the two women spent twenty low-grade spirit stones to buy this poorly managed Qiuta Auction House.
The land occupied by the Chuta Auction House can only be said to be acceptable, but compared with the large auction houses in the city, there is still a gap, and there is no comprehensive business background.
The main hall is designed in layers, with several glazed booths in the front hall, there is nothing in it, and the two treasure rooms are very spacious, and the carpet and animal leather chairs have a comfortable feeling.
The auction hall at the back is not a row of seats, but more than 20 round white jade tables and soft chairs.
The nine private rooms on the second floor of the auction hall have a wider and clearer view, giving people a sense of privacy.
The spirit stone lamp on the auction table is very shiny, which can set off the objects more gorgeously.
Ji Fan, the new owner of the auction house, took Youyou, Yin Bao'er, and Bai Xueyan around the ancient stone hall, feeling that doing business was not so easy.
"This auction house has nothing now, even if it opens, it is estimated that it will not be easy!" This is the first time Ji Fan has opened the door to do business, because he is a layman, he is not too optimistic.
"You have to come little by little, for the time being, there is no manpower, and there is nothing, why don't you come up with some?" Yin Bao'er laughed later, with a hint of ridicule.
"I'm going to collect things, not to sell them, and the things that flow out of our hands are easy to be seen by people with intentions, if you cause any trouble and be targeted, I'm afraid that it won't be long before this Chuta auction house will be yellow again!" Ji Fan said expressionlessly.
"The business can continue, although it depends on some factors, but there are two aspects, it is still very confident, one is that there are enough spirit stones, and on the other hand, it is not afraid of coercion, I believe that as long as the price of the treasure is fair, the reputation of the Chuta Auction House will gradually improve. Yin Baoer has some confidence in the prospects of the auction house.
"This auction house is not very useful, even if there is really a good thing, we will digest it ourselves, and we mainly have to rely on treasure appreciation and negotiation. Ji Fan was still pondering, selling the ancient treasure to the man on the throne of the Immortal Realm.
"Doing business is about popularity, especially in the market of treasure logistics, the requirements of the seller must also be considered, if you can make a relatively good price, there is nothing wrong with holding a few auctions to make people angry, and you can arrange people to auction the treasures themselves. Yin Baoer's statement made Ji Fan feel quite reasonable.
"It's not just Bai Xueyan, Hua Feihua is not suitable to show up, it seems that if you want to start this business, you have to find a manager who is good at business and has connections in this area. For the important way to make money, Ji Fan has some thoughts.
"The eight-sided and well-connected steward will not be easy to fiddle with, and even if he can be recruited, he will soon find out the details of the real owner of the auction house, and he can't tell when he will reveal it. While Yin Bao'er laughed, she glanced at the female strategist Bai Xueyan.
In fact, Ji Fan also knew that Bai Xueyan was more suitable for this errand, but he could see that Yin Bao'er did not care about her, but reminded her what kind of person she was looking for.
"Take your time, we need a place to stay anyway, even if this auction house can't do it, the loss won't be much. Ji Fan's smile did not show eagerness.
For Ji Fan and his entourage, there is still time to wait for the so-called gradual improvement of the auction house.
It's like Ji Fan has been in retreat at Shanhemen for ten years, for him it is just a day after day and year after year of cultivation, but ten years is enough to make certain changes in the cultivation world and the world, not to mention an auction house.
"That's it for the time being, the appropriate steward of the auction house should be found as soon as possible, some details Bai Xueyan will take care of for the time being, and when the arrangements are made, he will retreat, you have to remember that what you really need is the ancient treasure, the spirit treasure and the immortal weapon are not very useful, as for how you operate, just do it yourself, and then talk about things that you can't decide." Ji Fan said that later, he also looked at Bai Xueyan.
"If you buy Gu Bao, are you sure that you can pay a slightly higher price than the market price?" Bai Xueyan finally confirmed to Ji Fan.
"The best spirit stones and immortal stones can still be supported, if the business can really do well, you can let go of your hands and feet, and you can always let go of the price of acquiring ancient treasures. Ji Fan smiled and stopped staying in the auction hall.
From Ji Fan's words, Yin Bao'er and Bai Xueyan could hear that he paid more attention to the result.
Using people who are good at doing what they are good at is an ability that a superior person needs to master.
Lu Jun said that the chef he was looking for would make some fried meat snails in the morning, which should be delicious. Ji Fan whispered to Youyou.
As for why Ji Fan did the business of collecting ancient treasures, only Yoyo understood what was going on.
Although Ji Fan included Yoyo in the ancient demon talisman when she traded with the man on the throne for the second time, she was keenly aware of the process of the transaction when the man on the throne could not see it.
"Jinxiu City is bigger than the imperial city of the dynasty, but it is controlled by Jinxiu Sect, and this sect is quite powerful. When he came to the sixth floor of the stone tower and saw that there was already smoke in the kitchenette in the backyard, Ji Fan stood on the outer barrier of the stone tower and looked at the surrounding city.
"The key is that Jinxiu Sect controls the Refining Chamber of Commerce, which is also the foundation of Jinxiu City's prosperity. Yin Bao'er said with a little deep meaning.
"Speaking of refining patterns, it is only a follow-up link of refining, although the way of refining can win the world, but it should also be based on the selection of materials, if we master more refining styles, understand what kind of effect each refining pattern will have, we can also go down. Although Ji Fan said this, he did not underestimate the way of refining patterns in his heart.
Ji Fan's cultivation years are not short now, but the way of refining patterns cannot be regarded as profound.
"The refining weapon of our Tongtian Treasure Clan is still a little narrower, the way of refining the pattern of the Jinxiu Sect focuses on refining things, you also said just now, the way of refining the pattern is the way of seizing the heavens and the earth, and the strength of this Jinxiu Sect in all aspects of the way of cultivation is probably beyond imagination. "Yin Bao'er has a sense of admiration for Jinxiuzong.
"In the ten years we have been in the Shanhe Gate, the nine major sects of the Western Ancient Spirit Domain, the Ethereal Sword Sect and the Wuyue Sect have been wiped out, and they have become two unsolved cases, no one knows who did it, and the Black Wind Sect has also disappeared in the Western Ancient Spiritual Domain, and now the nine major sects are only the Burning Sky Valley, the Jinxiu Sect, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Taishu Sect, and the Yanzang Sect, without some strength, how can they survive. Ji Fan smiled.
"Most people don't know, it doesn't mean it must be a secret, have you contacted the Spirit Palace?" Yin Bao'er only felt that this was the beginning.
"Let's take a look at the development in Jinxiu City first, the prosperity here is different from the heritage of other cultivation sects, and it should last for quite a long time. "Ji Fan didn't want to ask for trouble.
From Ji Fan's defeat of the Qingxu Sect to the appearance of the Daozang Forbidden Land, he was still a little mindful of being found by Dou Lan.
In addition, there are some things that Ji Fan doesn't want to ask about the Spirit Palace, because the power and ambition of the Cangluan Spirit Hall are also not easy for him to estimate.
The Ethereal Sword Sect and the Wuyue Sect were destroyed, and things were done relatively secretly, and whether there was anything about the Cangluan Spirit Hall in this could not help but make Ji Fan suspicious.
Just like Yin Bao'er thought, there were only five of the nine major sects in the Western Ancient Spirit Domain left, but Ji Fan didn't think that the situation would settle down, and even if he didn't ask, some things would gradually be revealed later.
In the world of the jungle, there is only one answer, and that is that the strong are kings.
However, the Black Wind Sect disappeared, which made Ji Fan very curious, it is said that the Black Wind Mountain Range has become a borderless land.
"There is a difference between disappearing and being destroyed. "The reason why Ji Fan is interested in the Black Wind Sect is more because it is related to the burial of the ancient calamity.
"Coming to the Jinxiu Mountain Range, the Burning Sky Valley doesn't think about it, the five major sects of the Western Ancient Spirit Domain, that is, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Taishu Sect and the Yanzang Sect, when they settle down here, maybe they can take a walk to the remaining three sects. "Ji Fan mainly wants to better observe the Buddha face, collect the breath of space, and prepare for possible changes in the future.
As long as he can watch, the astral disk can form spatial coordinates, and once he finds an opportunity, Ji Fan can reach it as soon as possible, which is the goal he wants to travel.
"Now it seems that there are not many famous cultivation sects left in the entire Cangluan Prefecture, and there will definitely be changes in the next period of time. Yin Baoer sighed.
"It's still very early, what is being paid attention to now is only the cultivation sects, because most of these cultivation sects have little to do with the world, if it is a cultivation force, some cultivation families and large and small dynasties are not easy to estimate, and the chaos in Cangluan Prefecture is still behind. "Ji Fan has certain expectations for the war of the dynasty.
"You are so actively looking for opportunities, are you planning to escape from Cangluan Prefecture?" Yin Bao'er asked worriedly about Ji Fan.
"Where to flee? Now the law of the spirit ruin is getting weaker and weaker, in the absence of the catastrophe, the other eight states and the four seas may not be much stronger than Cangluan Prefecture, if you want to recover in the ruins, unless the law of the spirit ruins is strong again, but I don't know if we can get to that time, it is true to store more strength to deal with the crisis, I want to leave Cangluan Prefecture and hide in a place that no one knows, but the reality may not be in the calculation. "What Ji Fan is most afraid of is the arrival of the powerhouse of the upper realm.
