"Wow, after the actions taught by Master Bai, I feel comfortable! Hey, the rain has stopped. ”

In an indoor martial arts performance room in Xiaoyao Academy, Tang Hao stood by the window and looked up at the dark clouds that were being lifted by the sunlight little by little.

"Hey, Senior Brother Tang!" At this time, a cheerful and crisp voice came from behind him.

Tang Hao turned his head and saw Yang Chan, who had defeated Qin Zhi with a dashing sword technique, standing behind him with a smile.

"It's Senior Sister Yang!" Tang Hao hurriedly saluted.

Yang Chan smiled and waved her hand, and said, "Don't be so restrained, when you enter Xiaoyao Academy, everyone is a family, I see that you have been practicing here very hard in the past few days, is it the martial arts mystic method taught to you by the master?"

"Yes. Tang Hao wiped the sweat from his head, sat on the chair next to him, and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, you are all so powerful, only I am not even extraordinary, if you don't hurry up your cultivation and break through the third order, won't you lose the face of our Xiaoyao Academy?"

"Senior Brother Tang is still quite conscious. Yang Chan beckoned, took a chair from the air, placed it beside Tang Hao, sat down, and then asked with some curiosity: "Senior Brother Tang, I have heard many people discussing when I am shopping these days, saying that Yu Hai will have a wonderful bidding conference next, will your Tang family also participate?"

"That's right. Tang Hao blinked and asked, "Senior Sister Yang, are you still interested in this?"

Yang Chan nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course, those of us who came to the Western Continent with the master from Linxue City, which family is not doing business, for example, my family is a mine, Lao Huang's family is a Hanging Pavilion, and there is someone who owns a big restaurant in her family." ”

"In these years, if it weren't for the business and making money, where would I be able to enter Xiaoyao Academy~ hehe. Back then, our elders were willing to let us follow the dean master here, in addition to learning the secret methods and secret techniques, they also hoped that we would learn more things from your Western Continent, so that we could go back to take care of the family's business in the future. ”

Tang Hao suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder I see that all of you are either rich or expensive, it turns out that you are all young masters and young masters." ”

"Aren't you also Young Master Tang?" Yang Chan brought her smile closer and asked, "Tell me, what's going on with your bidding?" ”

Tang Hao's face turned slightly red, coughed dryly, and said: "This matter is actually not complicated, it is nothing more than to help the Xichuan Provincial Water Master choose a future supplier, and the family that won the bid this time has the opportunity to annex other families." ”

Then, he slowly talked about the well-known but unfamiliar labor bidding project incident in Yuhai City.

The naval division of Xichuan Province was a very large army, guarding the western coast of the Shuo Dynasty. In the entire Shuo Dynasty, in fact, there are no foreign enemies, except for the army stationed in the bones of the northern border to deal with the winter monster tide every year, it is the largest scale of the Xichuan Water Division.

Not only do they have to deal with the sea monsters that try to climb the coast to attack humans in the autumn and winter, but they also have to fight some pirates on the ocean in the spring and summer.

This time, taking advantage of the monster's summer hibernation season, the Xichuan Provincial Water Division and the Hanging Pavilion launched this labor army project, which was launched in different provinces of Xichuan.

At the beginning, Tang Hao, like other ordinary people, thought that this was a grain and grass project with thousands of ingots, but just a day ago, he received a letter from his mother, saying that there was a leak in the Hanging Pavilion, revealing inside information, and this labor army project is actually very large.

According to the revelations, the labor army bidding in Yuhai this time included medicinal materials, weapons, armor, daily necessities, etc., mainly for the First Corps of the Naval Division stationed in Yuhai, that is, the corps commanded by Wu Kui, which is also the largest corps in the province.

"Li Chengkong, the pavilion master of the Hanging Pavilion, is a national teacher, and the Hanging Pavilion is of course an imperial businessman. However, Pavilion Master Li was well aware of the righteousness and knew that the imperial merchants could not monopolize the business in the world, and this kind of bidding was the idea he came up with. Tang Hao said with reverence.

This time, the Hanging Pavilion will bid for the daily supply project of the sailor in charge, which is equivalent to selling the supply contract of the sailor in their hand.

The bidding will take the simplest and most direct way, similar to the auction method, each bidder will submit a bid, which needs to list two things, one is their offer for each item, which is for the sailor to see - that is, the price of the goods you give the sailor, is it the lowest price?

The second thing that needs to be listed is naturally how much compensation you can pay to the Hanging Pavilion when you take over the identity of the Hanging Pavilion as a supplier of water divisions?

This bidding is named, not bidding. In other words, only the bidders, the Hanging Pavilion and the Nishikawa Marine, can see the quotations of each company, and the bidders do not know the quotations of their competitors among themselves. Finally, when the Hanging Pavilion and the Xichuan Naval Division have completed the review of the bidding contract, the winning bidder will be announced.

To put it bluntly, it is a competition for financial resources.

The Tang family is currently mainly engaged in the medical hall business, and there are still a lot of fields outside the city, plus there is a temple of life behind it as a solid backer, which is enough to crush the other ninety percent of the other families in the city in terms of financial resources - except for the Zhao family.

The Zhao family is engaged in the casting business, and also owns the property rights of many commercial streets in Yuhai, and there is a martial god temple as a backer behind him, so he is confident about this bid, and is the biggest hit in this bid.

If nothing else, this bid is a financial competition between the Tang family and the Zhao family.

"I didn't see it, your Tang family has a very high status in Yuhai!" Yang Chan said with some surprise.

Tang Hao smiled and said: "Fortunately, the medical hall business is originally a rigid industry, who doesn't need to see a doctor for treatment? However, my mother also wants to make the Tang family's business bigger and expand to other cities, so she thinks we need an opportunity, and this bid is a very good opportunity. ”

"I thought it was just a project of a few thousand ingots, and it was an opportunity to start working with the sailor, but I didn't expect to suddenly smash down such a big treasure, and it would be a big dish directly......! I think it is also the Sailor and the Hanging Pavilion who want to test our real strength, not to give us the opportunity to raise external funds, to test our real financial strength. ”

Yang Chan thought for a moment and asked, "But, now that the news has leaked, isn't it true that other people can also prepare in advance?"

Tang Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "It's too late, the bidding is just three days later, in such a short time, even if you can transfer money, it is impossible to transfer an exaggerated amount of money at once." Besides, the largest money bank in China is opened by the Hanging Pavilion, you transfer money from the outside, and the Hanging Pavilion will know immediately, and when the time comes, you will say that you are not victorious and disqualified, how can you play?"

"Will it be disqualified?" Yang Chan was taken aback again, blinked and asked, "But, isn't it just as long as they give them enough money in the Hanging Pavilion and be able to sell the goods to the sailor at a low enough price?"

"Because what they want is a long-term cooperative business. ”

Tang Hao said with a smile: "If you borrow money everywhere to raise money to win the bid, then you may have to bear huge debts in the future, and who knows if it will be shoddy in the goods supplied to the sailor at that time? ”

Yang Chan suddenly realized, patted Tang Hao's shoulder with satisfaction, and said: "Don't you see it, Senior Brother Tang is young, and when it comes to business, he actually has a set of business experiences, which is very powerful!"

Tang Hao's face turned red again, and he sighed and said, "Senior Sister Yang, you are not two years older than me, don't say that I am the same as a child." ”

"Really?" Yang Chan widened her round eyes and asked, "How old are you?"

"Twenty-four, what about you?"

Yang Chan was stunned: "I, I am also twenty-four." ”

"Huh?" Tang Hao suddenly became interested: "Then Senior Sister Yang, when were you born?"

"What are you doing!" Yang Chan snorted and said, "Could it be that if you inquire that I am younger, I am not your senior sister?

Not far away, no one noticed that Luo Haijie was holding the half-demon-looking Qi Wanli with one hand and the half-asleep Black King with the other, and quietly walked into the bedroom belonging to the dean of the academy.

"Dean, what's wrong with you?" Luo Haijie had never seen Qi Wanli look like this, but he still suppressed the shock and questions in his heart, put Qi Wanli on the bed safely, and gently put the Black King at the end of the bed.

"Hey, I had another fight with Gong Changfeng. Qi Wanli coughed twice and said with a smile.

Luo Haijie almost slapped himself in the face.

"Dean, what are you doing here?" he shook his head with a wry smile: "It's only been a few days, why are you always looking for trouble with Gong Changfeng? He, a great master at the peak of the sixth order, really wants to get angry, he will destroy us!"

"I didn't believe it before, but today I do. Qi Wanli also smiled bitterly, and then, he took the potion of restoring divine power handed by Luo Haijie and drank it slowly.

Originally, after the battle with Gong Changfeng, his divine power had been slowly recovering, but after that, in order not to be too conspicuous, he did not swagger into the city, but chose a relatively hidden earth escape. It's just that the third-order life dependent's earth escape ability is relatively weak, and he came back with the Black King earth escape so far, and his divine power was exhausted again.

With the potion in his abdomen, Qi Wanli was finally able to use his divine power to suppress the demon characteristics on his body, and gradually withdrew his scales and changed back to his human appearance.

Seeing him like this, Luo Haijie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, Gong Changfeng is fine, and he doesn't know it's me. Qi Wanli comforted: "Everything will go according to plan. Three days later, it will be Yu Hai's labor army bidding, we must help the Tang family win the bidding, and take this opportunity to become a true ally with the Temple of Life. ”

"Understood. ”

Luo Haijie nodded, and said with a smile: "Tang Hao, this young man is very perceptive, he will definitely be able to perfectly carry out the things you explained, Dean." ”

"That's for the sake of his own future, how could he not have understanding. Qi Wanli closed his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, and explained: "It's okay, you go and rest, it's a little later, the rain should come back, you arrange several maids in advance to clean her room." ”

"Yes. ”

Luo Haijie took the order and left, at this time the sky was gradually free of dark clouds, the summer heat returned to Yuhai, and the sea breeze and the sound of cicadas made the city exceptionally calm.
