In such an auction, Xiaobai participated in it for the second time, but Luo Xi experienced. When Luo Xi was eight years old, she participated in a small auction with her father Luo Shuihan for the first time, and she took a fancy to an ivory stand for the craft harp, the size of which was only a magazine, the size was very exquisite, and the reserve price was 60,000 yuan, and she told her father that she wanted to buy it. Luo Shuihan asked her how much she was willing to pay? Luo Xi said that she was willing to pay twice the price of the reserve price because she liked it very much. Luo Shuihan said yes, so he paid a lot of money to buy it.

After the auction began, the price of the harp had risen above 100,000 yuan, Luo Xi was anxious, and shouted: "It's about to reach 120,000!" Luo Shuihan shook his head with a smile and said: "Since the competition has not yet come to fruition, you shouldn't show your hole cards." ”

Sure enough, another buyer who had been bidding heard Luo Xi's words, and the final offer happened to be more than 120,000. Luo Xi still wanted to raise the card, but Luo Shuihan stopped her. After returning home, Luo Shuihan said to his daughter, "Although you didn't get that harp today, you should learn something more valuable." It's not that we can't afford it. But that thing already has a bottom line of value for you, and if you go to raise a card after that bottom line, you are not enjoying the fun of life but becoming a slave of **. Many people's failures are that they don't know where the bottom line between their ** and reality is, or they know that they want to become ** slaves, no matter how much money they have, no matter how powerful they are, they will not really feel satisfied and happy. ”

Luo Xi has received such an education since he was a child, but Xin Weiping does not, and Xiaobai does not have this opportunity. After Xin Weiping became Huang Yasu, he didn't have this kind of consciousness, but Bai Shaoliu could figure it out.

Huang Yasu didn't want to buy the Eight Treasures Treasure Box at first, but when he saw Luo Xi raising his cards many times, he was driven by an inexplicable injustice to fight. Luo Xi stopped raising his cards, Huang Yasu was still holding his cards, and his face tightened after the bid exceeded one million, but he had to give up until the bid exceeded two million. It can be seen that Huang Yasu's final price has been out of the bottom line of the value that he recognizes, and when he gave up, he did not feel relaxed and sober, but had a kind of dissatisfaction with being hurt, but on this occasion, no one hurt him.

In the eyes of Feng Junzi and Zhang Rongdao, who are proficient in the art of matchmaking, they have long seen through his confidence. So when the Feng gentleman asked about Huang Yasu, Zhang Rongdao didn't have a high evaluation, and when the Feng gentleman asked about Bai Shaoliu, Zhang Rongdao shook his head: "It's hard to say, I haven't seen it thoroughly." ”

However, Feng Junzi smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to think so highly of him? I don't even dare to say that you can see it clearly at a glance?"

Zhang Rongdao: "Knowing the trade-offs can be decided, knowing what others want and what they do, although it is a trivial matter, it can be seen that this young man is also a material that can be created." ...... You have been in Wuyou for many years, you should know these people very well, why didn't you tell me directly?"

Feng Junzi joked: "I still learned physiognomy from you, isn't it more accurate for you to see people yourself? Besides, you are going to do business with the Heluo Group, if you make money, it's okay to say, what if you listen to my opinion and lose money? It's better for you to see people clearly." ”

This is someone next to him who came over and whispered: "Mr. Feng, I've been waiting for you for a long time, what is there to buy today, you can tell me?"

Feng Junzi pointed to the stage: "Mr. Hu, you came just in time, now the auction is the most suitable for you, if you put that pair of more than one Baoge at home, it is really to have an identity and taste...... Don't worry, I'll raise the card later, you have to have the grace to buy this kind of thing, it's the same if you don't have it, don't buy and sell squid in the big vegetable market. ”

Now the auction on the stage is also wood, 500 years ago Zhixu classical furniture, one-to-one person-high rosewood multi-baoge. That Hu is always the owner of the largest seafood market in Wuyou, and he is also the largest seafood wholesaler in Wuyou. Uyu is a coastal city, and the seafood is very famous, and Boss Hu is also an industry tycoon in Uyou. Although he had money, he had not read any books, and he wanted to buy a few things at this auction to decorate the façade, but he did not know what to buy.

Boss Hu has known Feng Junzi for a long time, when he was still a fish seller in the seafood market, and he knew Zhang Rongdao because of business. Zhang Rongdao also pointed to the stage and said: "Xiaohu, as the saying goes, 'The garden is not beautiful without stones, and the room is indecent', which is what I am talking about." This thing in the room with elegance, the focus of the object is the eye, can not be an empty shelf, no matter how you place and place something, you have to say the meaning, so that others will really value you. ”

Boss Hu nodded in thanks, and happily took the sign to bid, at this time Xiaobai and Luo Xi came over and whispered: "Mr. Feng, are you here too?" This is Mr. Zhang Rongdao from Wucheng?...... This is Miss Luoxi, my name is Bai Shaoliu, and I am also from Wucheng. ”

Zhang Rongdao: "I am Zhang Rongdao, my ancestor is from Longhu Mountain, I have lived in Wucheng for 500 years, and we are also fellow villagers." ...... Miss Luo, I didn't expect us to meet here. ”

Luo Xi greeted politely: "Hello Uncle Zhang, I often hear my father mention you...... Why did you ask Boss Hu to buy Duobaoge just now?" It turned out that Luo Xi also knew Boss Hu, and he thought that Mr. Zhang and Feng Junzi instructed him to buy something a bit funny.

Feng Junzi smiled: "It's not suitable here."

I'll talk about it slowly when we get to the wine table. ”

After the auction ended, several people walked out of the convention and exhibition center, and Li Zhidong, president of Heluo Group, was waiting at the gate, and saw them coming up from afar and said: "Mr. Zhang, Miss Luo, it turns out that you have already met, and all the people who are coming at noon today have come to this auction." ”

Li Zhidong is currently the president of Heluo Group, and he is an old partner who has followed Luo Shuihan for many years, and Luo Shuihan entrusted Li Zhidong, Luo Bing, Gu Ying, and Bai Shaoliu behind him, including him. Xiaobai asked, "Mr. Li, who else is there at noon today?"

Li Zhidong: "The host is Huang Yasu, and the guest is Ms. Eva Kendi from the Tulip Principality. ”

Bai Shaoliu: "And Eva?"

Li Zhidong: "It was commissioned by Miss Avtena Wiener and substituted. ...... Look, they're out. ”

It seems that the business to be discussed is related to the Wiener family, why didn't Avtena entrust Adilo but entrusted Eva? In fact, Xiaobai didn't know, although Adilo was the heir to the title of the Wiener family, he was not good at financial management and was not willing to worry about these things at all, and he only received a rich annuity from the family's trust fund every year. The wealth of the Wiener family is in the hands of Avtena, who is the richest person in the Wiener family and one of the largest consortium controllers in the Duchy of Tulip.

When Li Zhidong introduced it to everyone, Huang Yasu knew that the two people who had been bidding with him just now were guests of Heluo Group, especially Eva surprised him, he didn't expect that it was such a bewitching and sexy lady who represented the Wiener Foundation. Eva's face and posture are the kind that make most men feel hot in their lower abdomen at a glance, and although he has played with many women recently, there is no such superb stunner.

Huang Yasu's heart was itching, and his attitude was also very courteous, and he stretched out his hand to Eva and said: "It's a great honor to meet you, Mrs. Kendi is the most charming lady I have ever met, I'm really embarrassed just now, I knew that you also like that eight-treasure treasure box, I should buy it and give it to you." ”

Eva stretched out her hand and shook it gently, Huang Yasu really wanted to kiss this tender little hand according to Western etiquette, but Eva had already taken her hand back, and said very politely and plainly: "Thank you for the compliment, that thing was bought by a friend for me, not for myself." ”

Huang Yasu: "Mrs. Kendi's Zhidi is so fluent in Chinese, it is really surprising, you must be a friend of Zhiyu people." ”

Eva: "My husband used to work in Uyu, and it was here that he was killed, because he learned Chinese. ”

Huang Yasu was shocked and embarrassed and said: "I see, it's really a pity...... but swallowed back the following words, because he saw Wu Tong's eyes staring at him fiercely like a wolf, and he couldn't help but take a step back and stand closer to Tingfeng and Guanfeng.

......

Although "big business" is generally signed at the formal negotiation table, Zhixu people are more accustomed to talking about business at the wine table, no matter whether the deal can be negotiated or not, human hospitality is still inevitable, not to mention that Zhang Rongdao just arrived in Wucheng today, Luo Xi met him on behalf of Luo Shuihan, and the number of courtesies must not be avoided.

Li Zhidong chartered the sea-view restaurant on the top floor of the Skylight Hotel, which has the highest building and the highest price in Wuyou Beach, and there is only one table of guests in a restaurant as big as a conference room, and it is this kind of specification that they want, and it doesn't matter what kind of food they eat. When he sat down, who sat in the main seat also pushed a little, Luo Xi did not sit and let Li Zhidong, although Li Zhidong was the nominal host, he did not take Mr. Zhang as a simple guest, let Zhang Rongdao sit in the main seat, Zhang Rongdao did not sit but let Eva, and in the end it turned out to be the gentleman of the wind who sat on the main seat. Feng Junzi smiled: "With so much money, do you still want me to settle the bill?" and sat down calmly without refusing.

Huang Yasu watched everyone give up their seats, but no one let him go, in fact, he wanted to sit in that position the most, but he also understood that he was not qualified now, but he didn't expect to let everyone sit in the end, and the wind gentleman actually sat down with a smile - what is he?

Huang Yasu was a little unhappy in his heart, he was kind and kind just now, but the beauty Eva didn't pay attention to it at all, and he thought that when he saw Gu Ying in Luo Yuan, he was also so attentive, Gu Ying didn't even hold his hand coldly. Huang Yasu secretly thought in his heart: "You wait, one day, I will let you all revolve around me, so that you know who I am!" Although he didn't show it on the surface, Xiaobai on the other side was clear about his thoughts, and he was a little disgusted and a little funny in his heart.

Listening to Feng and Guan Feng, they also accompanied the last seat at the banquet, Huang Yasu introduced these two people as his assistants, which made Xiaobai a little vigilant, it seems that the identities of these two disciples of the Changbai Sword Sect are no longer Huang Yasu's bodyguards, otherwise they should stand at the door, when he used to be Luo Xi's bodyguard, he would not be seated on this occasion. Could it be that Huang Yasu's relationship with the Changbai Sword Sect has changed, or that he has already joined the Changbai Sword Sect? -- this is not impossible.

The wine table is not full of interest is not to talk about serious things, everyone can't stop persuading the food to toast, Luo Xi doesn't drink, all by Xiaobai, but Feng Junzi and Zhang Rongdao drank a lot of glasses. After a few glasses of wine, there were many words, and Luo Xi took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle Zhang, Feng Xian."

The two of you haven't told me yet, why did you instruct Boss Hu to buy Duobaoge?"

Feng Junzi asked rhetorically: "Why can't Boss Hu buy Duobaoge?"

Huang Yasu said: "I also saw it, the fish seller Boss Hu bought a pair of more than one Baoge with a lot of money, a few words are illiterate but want to be vassally elegant, and others say that he is a tyrant and uneducated, there are many such people, and after being rich, they want to be a façade, but unfortunately no matter what, he is also an uneducated tyrant." ”

Feng Junzi looked at Huang Yasu: "How can you say that Boss Hu doesn't know a few big words? I know him, he has not received higher education, but he has finished high school anyway, you speak too harshly." ”

Huang Yasu: "It's too much to say that he can't read, but he is indeed an uneducated mob." ”

Feng Junzi looked at the wine glass and nodded: "Yes, he does not read much, and his ancestors have no money, you have to say so, there is no way." ”

Luo Xi asked: "Don't say bad things about others, Mr. Feng hasn't answered my question yet!"

Feng Junzi raised his head and said to Luo Xi: "As the saying goes, three generations become nobles, so what about the first generation? What kind of first generation can benefit the descendants and become a long-standing family, Luo Xi, don't forget that your grandfather Luoyang Gong was also an ordinary soldier." ”

Luo Xi was speechless if he realized, Huang Yasu said: "Contemporary Zhixu, how can there be any real family!"

Feng Junzi's face sank, his face surged with anger, and Xiao Bai hurriedly spoke: "Huang Yasu, if you say this, you will be punished for drinking, the Zhang family in Wucheng is a five-hundred-year-old famous family, and it has been inherited until Mr. Zhang Rongdao's generation, and we Wucheng people know it." ”

Huang Yasu was startled, got up to toast Mr. Zhang to make amends, Zhang Rongdao was not angry, and drank this glass of wine with him. In fact, what Huang Yasu said is more or less true, in modern times, all spiritual inheritances have been deliberately smashed by internal and external thieves, and the new civilization system has not been established at all, the recovery of material production is easy, but the extreme emptiness of the spiritual world is difficult to bridge. Although Huang Yasu is highly educated, he is only a generation with knowledge but no culture, knowledge and culture are two concepts, like the case of Wucheng Zhang, which is too little.

Feng Junzi's face was slightly pale, and he asked Huang Yasu: "You look at the things on this table, the essence of seafood in the delicacies of the mountains and seas, twenty years ago, there were a few dishes that ordinary people couldn't see on the table at all, and there was no place to buy them if they had money, ten years ago, they could be bought, but the price was so high that it was staggering, but today, it was just a more expensive dish." Do you know what's going on?"

Huang Yasu: "The economy has been exhibited, the market has been opened, and the output has increased. ”

Feng Junzi: "That's right, but you can only say so much, let me tell you, these are all Wuyou specialties that are not available elsewhere, and although the output has increased, it has been very limited in the past ten years." ...... Do you want to know what's going on? I said it's because of Boss Hu, I'm afraid you won't believe it! You only know that Boss Hu started selling seafood, but do you know exactly how he got started? Let Mr. Zhang tell you. ......”

The several kinds of seafood mentioned by the wind gentleman are Uyu's specialties, but the residents of the aV Islands are very fond of food, and in the era of the plan, all of them were purchased and exported by the government to the aV Islands, so the citizens of Uyu could not eat them. Later, the economic reform of Zhixu opened the market to the inside and outside, due to historical reasons, the purchase and sales of these kinds of seafood were controlled by the branch of the aV Islands Bao Shi Co., Ltd., and the prices in the international market were extremely high, while the purchase price obtained by the fishermen was extremely low.

It's not that Uyu fishermen are willing to sell cheaply, it's that the scattered fishing villages can't compete with the big companies that monopolize the international market. At this time, some shrewd small traders took a fancy to the opportunity to buy such seafood directly from the fishing village and sell it in the local market in Wuyou, but the small fight did not become a large-scale climate, and the real problem could not be solved, and Hu Yang, the boss of Hu, was one of them.

Unlike other fishmongers, Hu Yang was very conscientious, and he spent three years visiting all the fishing villages that produced these kinds of seafood and getting to know almost all the fishermen. Then, together with other vendors in the seafood market, they carried out group purchases and wholesale sales in the local market, Hu Yang did not have the concept of establishing a group company at that time, but only led the fishmongers to earn the difference in the market together.

The business of Hu Yang and others expanded, and the supply of Bao Shi Co., Ltd. in the aV Islands began to decrease, and finally this potential threat was realized, so a measure was taken. Bao Shi Co., Ltd. has signed long-term exclusive supply agreements with major fishing villages, promising to buy all the products in a package manner, but the fishing villages are not allowed to sell seafood to others. If the fishing village sells seafood to the Uyo fishmongers, it will be removed from the package purchase list, so many fishing villages have to consider exclusive supply, because Hu Yang and others at that time could not meet the sales of all the products.

Hu Yang wanted to compete unless he signed similar long-term exclusive purchase agreements with several major fishing villages at higher prices, but he did not have the strength at the time. Just when he was trying to raise money and discuss with individual fishermen, there was another accident, and a group of ruffians and hooligans around Hu Yang's seafood market targeted him for some reason, and smashed Hu Yang's stall for several days, making him unable to do business. -- I was born four years ago.
