Chapter 19: The Winner
After defeating Zheng Kong, Zheng Jia can see that Zheng Yingming is a good person, if he really cheats him, it is estimated that Zheng Jia himself wants to find a crack to get into.
The cheerful atmosphere didn't last long when a voice was heard: "One hundred and fifty thousand!"
It can be said that the Hong family is the most financially powerful of the three major families, so in the eyes of Ju Ni, the city lord Nangu and Hong Xin are the most likely to compete for the ground-level martial arts.
"One million five hundred and fifty thousand? Can you take out so much? I'm afraid that even if you take it out, your Hong family should be hollowed out, right? At that time, your shop will not be able to continue to operate, and the closed shop can only be sold to the other two major families cheaply, and the Hong family will exist in name only!" Nan Gu sneered, which could be said to be an admonition to him.
"In name only, I'm afraid you're too worried, Lord City, my Hong family's existence in Bingxin City naturally has its roots, not to mention that the annual net profit is three or four hundred thousand, just the relationship between me and Ju Ni is enough for you to reach!"
"It's opportunistic, no wonder you can have no fear. In this case, it will not make you even more complacent, I will increase the price by another 250,000!" Nan Gu confidently raised the price, as if there was no one behind Hong Xin.
"You ......" Seeing that Nan Gu deliberately made things difficult for himself, Hong Xin's old brows frowned, of course he knew that the other party wanted to let him pay a little more for the auction price, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have come up with an idea, and then held a pair of old hands behind his head, leaned on the back of the chair, a pair of conspicuous nasolabial folds appeared from under his cheeks, and said with an indifferent smile:
"Okay, if you want to cheat me, I don't have to talk about it, it's a big deal to give you 1.8 million taels!" said this, but his heart was full of pride. If you want to play psychological warfare, I'll have fun with you, and if I don't compete with you, someone will naturally compete with you, as long as you make up the lowest price increase at that time.
"Hmm, Brother Hong, are you going to want this unavoidable martial art?" Nan Gu was puzzled in his heart, and for a while he couldn't think of any trick this guy was playing in his heart.
"I want it, who doesn't want it? But there are few spare money to compete with a man like you, who told you to have an empire to raise, hey~ It's incomparable, it's really incomparable!" Hong Xin was a little yin and yang when he said this, and even Sima and the patriarch of the Zheng clan, who were thinking about how to increase the price to be cost-effective, cast disdainful glances.
Of course, Nangu must have heard it, but he didn't refute it.
"In that case, then I have to do it!"
"One million and nine million!" Zheng Yingming's hands trembled a little, this number is already the maximum upper limit of the family's liquid funds, and he can only increase the price this time if he wants to buy it, he knows that the Zheng family does not have strong foreign aid, and there are no excellent means, so he must take care of the overall situation.
Sima Huihong stroked his fine beard and thought carefully: "If you increase the price again, it will reach the two million mark, if I take this martial art, my income will be to improve my own strength, and after I finish learning, I can plunder the territory of other families, and then re-expand the family's sphere of influence." But if I let them take pictures, will I be able to keep the family?"
After a short period of thought, Sima Huihong finally pressed down the price increase of 100,000, after all, strength is the foundation of the world.
Two million, what an astonishing number, if the big family has such a fortune, it is just a drop in the ocean, but if the small and medium-sized family gets this money, it will definitely be able to step into the sky!
"Two million and one million!" For Nangu, who is raised by the empire, even this number is his life savings, unless he also has a buddy who is strong enough to lend him enough money, but does he have it? He has it, but can he borrow him enough money? That has to be said.
Now Patriarch Sima and Zheng Yingming have given up the price, after all, the relationship between the two of them is tepid, if Hong Xin or Nan Gu gets the ground-level martial arts, if they are targeted, they can join forces to deal with it.
"Is it going to be the top?" Ju Ni also wanted to raise the price as much as possible, but his estimate was also very conservative, and two million was already an upper limit.
"Two million one time! Two million taels -- two million taels -- two million times! two million ...... " Just as the auctioneer shouted to pick up the auction hammer to hammer down, only to hear a voice from the audience: "Increase the price by another 100,000!"
It was Hong Xin who spoke, and at this time he had already stood up and attracted everyone's attention.
"You ......" Nangu reacted at this time, and he was completely put on the table.
"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, learn a little! This martial art, I can do it!" Hong Xin smiled, standing and waiting for the auctioneer to announce the results, he had already expected that this price was the lowest price to win the ground-level martial arts!
"Two million two hundred thousand once! two million two hundred thousand times, twice! two million two hundred thousand - three - times!
Hearing the sound of "bang", Nangu's hand that was about to press the number finally retracted. The big stone hanging in Hong Xin's heart also fell to the ground, just as Ju Ni and Hong Xin's estimates, the price was raised to 2.2 million.
"Then it's up to you!" Hong Xin learned Nangu's tone, and repeated it again, jokingly saying, in Nangu's sound, full of ridicule and sarcasm.
"Okay! If we don't turn around, there will always be a time when you feel better!" Nangu stood up suddenly, flicked his robe, and strode out of the auction hall in anger.
"When I feel better, when I practice this martial art, see who feels better!" Hong Xin smiled smugly at the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the auction table. stretched out his hand, "Miss Li, then this martial art will be ...... below."
"Patriarch Hong, rules are rules after all, they can't be broken, no matter who you are, you have to follow this procedure, you can only go to the backstage to pay off the auction money to get the auction items, forgive us for being unkind!" The auctioneer looked indifferent, seemingly completely ignoring him, the head of the family.
But how did Hong Xin know that the reason why this Miss Li's attitude turned 180 degrees was because of the rules set by the headquarters that she could not bow to any power. Because of this rule, a weak woman can stabilize Hong Xin's momentum!
"Okay! just as you say!" Hong Xin turned around and greeted Hong Bei, who was also in the auction house, and asked him to return to the clan to withdraw the money.
After a brief end, only a handful of auction winners remained. Fortunately, there is no Zheng family, otherwise Zheng Jia pretending to be Zheng Xuan would definitely be exposed. However, when they got the auction items, almost everyone's eyes were on Zheng Jia and Feixuan......
"You, you are Zheng You's youngest son Zheng Xuan? How could you have a ground-level martial art? Say, where did you steal it?" When Ju Ni saw this young man, his heart suddenly "chuckled", and he almost sat on the ground with his buttocks.
He knew Zheng Xuan, and he also had a lot of dealings with the Zheng family, but Ju Ni would never believe that the person who sold martial arts would be a person from Ice Heart City, in room No. 3 on the second floor, Ju Ni only saw the back of a person lying on a rocking chair, and did not see the face of that person, so Ju Ni thought that he was a figure from a big family.
"Zheng Xuan, who is Zheng Xuan?" Zheng Jia's voice was still as bright as an ancient bell, and he was suddenly startled by a group of people, of course he asked knowingly, the purpose was to make them think that this was a misunderstanding.
"This ......" Ju Ni was also speechless, and after being stunned for a while, he heard someone next to him say:
"He is indeed not Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan is a little taller than him, and he is also a little stronger than him. After hearing this, Ju Ni knew that it was an oolong. Think about it, how can a boy who looks seventeen or eighteen years old sound like an old man in his fifties and sixties?
"Uh...... I'm so sorry about this little friend. In order to compensate you, the price of the Spiritual Tonifying Grass you bought at auction will be discounted by 95%!" Ju Ni coughed embarrassedly and continued.
"Now the silver you have earned from the earth-level martial arts is a total of 2.2 million, minus the 10% discount that you should get 1.98 million, and then subtract the 313,500 of the 95% discount to supplement the spirit grass and the 690,000 of the mad god sword, and actually get 976,500 taels of silver!
Although Ju Ni is a strong man in the Six Mountains, he is a little small for people who can sell ground-level martial arts, and with many years of business experience, he naturally knows that this person can only be befriended, not evil.
After accepting the black gold card, quietly put it in the wrench. It was said that it was quietly, but it was specially made for Ju Ni to see, this move made Ju Ni moved, he did not show much exaggeration, but was unusually calm, and he already had a rough idea in his heart - this person is definitely a disciple of other big families......
"We still have something to do, so we will stay soon, thank you for the hospitality of the host! Everyone has a common question, that is, is this person a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, or a fifty or sixty-year-old man?
"Little friend, if you don't dislike it, I'll send you away, brother! Seeing that you don't look like a local, you may get lost......" In order to befriend this unknown person in front of him, Ju Ni can only be punished to show goodwill.
"Eh, please also ask the owner to stay, this time out is an important matter, I am afraid that there will be trouble on the road will affect your safety, I understand this kindness, if we have fate, we will meet in the future, farewell!" Zheng Jia first laughed back to show politeness, then clasped his hands into fists, turned around and left with Fei Xuan.
Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Ju Ni sighed in his heart. If this young man can have a good relationship with Ice Heart City, why be afraid of those demons and demons that are not human or beasts?
Out of the auction hall, in fact, Zheng Jia and Feixuan did not go far, but the cat was waiting in a corner for the winner who auctioned the blood-drinking sword. At first, Fei Xuan didn't know who took the blood-drinking sword, but when he went to the backstage to settle the bill, he saw that the person holding the blood-drinking sword was a woman about the same age as Fei Xuan.
This woman Zheng Jia definitely didn't know, but how could Fei Xuan not know her? She was Sima Feixuan's sister, Sima Zirui!
Coincidentally, the blood-drinking sword was auctioned by his sister, and acquaintances naturally had many ways to commit crimes, and after the auction ended, Fei Xuan took Zheng Jia to intercept his sister on the way of the Sima family.
Sima Zirui is a first-tier level in the Triple Mountain, and her strength is one level higher than Fei Xuan, even if Fei Xuan and Zheng Jia join forces, it is not easy to take her down.
"By the way, Zheng Jia, what if my father and I are with my sister? I can't do it at all!" Fei Xuan seemed to have discovered the biggest loophole, and only felt that the plan was about to fail, so he hurriedly asked Zheng Jia.
