Chapter 154: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
"Not bad."
Hearing the movement, Jiang Tian slowly opened his eyes and got up.
Then ask:
"What are we going to do next?"
Zhou Da laughed and said:
"Let's go have lunch first, the auction doesn't start until the evening, it's still early."
Jiang Tian nodded and didn't say anything.
A few minutes later, he was taken by Zhou Dafa to a hotel near Xuanwu Lake.
"Jiang Shao, the auction house will start at seven o'clock this evening, and it will be held in Yibao Pavilion not far from here."
After sitting down, Zhou Dafa poured water for Jiang Tian while talking about tonight's events.
Jiang Tian nodded and did not make a sound.
Actually, he doesn't care if the auction is not auctioned.
What he cared about was the medium-grade spirit stone.
This thing actually appeared in the martial arts sect, which shows that there must be people in the secular martial arts world who know its role.
He was just wondering if someone would grab that thing with him tonight.
However, he was not worried, he was determined to obtain that medium-grade spirit stone.
Even if he didn't shoot it, he still had a way to get it, of course, he wouldn't use that method unless he had to.
After lunch, Chow Tai Fook directly arranged Jiang Tian to rest in the hotel room.
It wasn't until half past six in the evening, after it was completely dark, that Zhou Dafa knocked on the door again.
"Jiang Shao, it's almost time, let's go, shall we?"
Zhou Dafa's voice came from outside the door.
In the room, Jiang Tian, who was meditating cross-legged, got up and opened the door when he heard this.
"Let's go."
Jiang Tian nodded, and then walked towards the nod.
Zhou Dafa followed to the side and said:
"Jiang Shao, it's up to you tonight, try to help me get some good materials!"
Jiang Tian nodded with a smile and said that there was no problem.
Soon, under the drive of Zhou Taifa.
The two of them arrived at Yi Bao Pavilion.
Yi Bao Pavilion, located in Xuanwu Lake next to a few kilometers of a position on the mountainside, it is the largest trading house in Jinling City, not only can buy and sell, but also auction, not to say in Jinling, even in the whole south of the Yangtze River is famous.
By the time we arrived, it was almost seven o'clock.
At this time, the parking lot outside Yi Bao Pavilion was already full of luxury cars, and judging from the license plate number, there were even many foreign license plates.
After the two got out of the car, Zhou Dafa walked in with two admission tickets.
As soon as you enter the hall, you will be greeted by a sense of simplicity and splendor.
The decoration of the whole Yibao Pavilion is like the ancient style, which is divided into two floors, the first floor of the hall and the second floor of the private room. There is a stage in front of the hall, which is probably the place of the auction.
At this time, the entire hall was already crowded, and at first glance there were at least dozens of people.
Judging from the dress of these people, it is estimated that they are all celebrities and wealthy businessmen, otherwise they would not be able to enter here.
At the moment, these people are gathering in groups to chat, waiting for the auction to begin.
"There are still a lot of people."
Jiang Tian stood in place and glanced around, and said.
Zhou Dafa smiled and said: "There are not many people, and many big people haven't come yet." ”
"Oh? And the big guys? ”
Jiang Tian was slightly surprised, so he asked:
"Who will there be?"
"Then I don't know very well, but there will definitely be people from the four major families of Jinling, and then there will be some family forces in the next city."
Zhou Dafa said.
"The Four Great Families of Jinling?"
Jiang Tian heard about it for the first time, so he continued to ask:
"Which four families are they?"
"Doesn't Jiang Shao know?"
Zhou Dafa was slightly stunned.
Jiang Tian nodded and said:
"It's the first time I've come to Jinling, and I don't know much about it."
Zhou Dafa smiled and nodded, indicating understanding, so he explained:
"The four major families of Jinling are the four families of Su, Wang, Xu, and Jia!"
"These four families have been entrenched in Jinling for hundreds of years, and they have a profound heritage, which can be regarded as an out-and-out veteran family. These four control almost half of Jinling's economic lifeline, and their strength is terrifying! ”
After hearing this, Jiang Tian touched his chin.
I didn't expect that there would be such a family force in this small Jinling City.
"Okay, Jiang Shao, let's take a seat, and it will start in a while."
Zhou Dafa said, and walked towards the hall with Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian pointed to the second floor:
"Why don't you go up there?"
Zhou Dafa was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly:
"I want to, too, but I'm not qualified, the above positions are reserved for the four major families, even if there is no one, we can't go up when it's empty!"
"Oh? Not with your assets? ”
Jiang Tian didn't expect it.
Zhou Dafa is also the top person on the rich list of Daxia, but with his assets, he is not qualified to go to the private room on the second floor?
"Jiang Shao, you misunderstood, who can come here is not a rich master? Here, money is nothing, here it is the status of status! ”
"Don't look at my assets of 100 billion, but that's only a lot of money for ordinary people. Needless to say, there are many invisible rich people who are not visible! ”
After speaking, he pointed to a bald man not far away and said:
"Who does Jiang Shaoke know about that person?"
"I don't know."
Jiang Tian glanced at it and shook his head.
"That person is the famous shipbuilding king Wang Huasheng, and his assets are even more than mine, so why don't you sit in the hall?"
"And that, Liu Hongsheng, one of the few coal mine bosses in Daxia, is almost twice as valuable as mine, and he is not qualified to go to the second floor."
"So, here, money is the least valuable thing!"
Zhou Dafa sighed.
After Jiang Tian listened, he understood that in this world, status is still more important, and money is just the cheapest hole card.
However, in this way, he became more interested in the so-called four major families of Jinling.
These rich people who can be suppressed can't raise their heads, and it is estimated that they are not so simple.
Just as the two of them were about to sit down.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the door.
"The Du family is here!"
"Hey, I didn't expect them to come too, I heard that the Du family has the qualifications of a quasi-first-line family, right?"
"Yes, but it's normal for them to come, the Du family is a family in the jewelry business, and today is a jade auction, so they naturally can't miss it."
A group of people whispered.
At this time, someone said:
"Eh, by the way, I heard, the Du family is still a martial arts family? It is said that the old man of their family is a strong grandmaster? ”
"What? Is the Du family still from the martial arts family? There is actually a grandmaster? ”
One person was surprised.
"What? Don't you know? Just some time ago, the old man of the Du family broke through the Sect Master of Huajin, which caused quite a stir in Jinling at that time! ”
The people around shook their heads when they heard this, and their eyes were shocked.
At their level, it was no secret that martial artists were in the first place.
It's just that they didn't expect that there would be a Transforming Strength Grandmaster in the Du family!
Doesn't that mean that Jinling is likely to be the five major families in the future?
Thinking of this, many people's eyes began to burn, and they were ready to make friends with the Du family.
And Jiang Tian also frowned when he heard this.
The Du family?
What is the origin of this Du family?
Zhou Dafa saw Jiang Tian's doubts and whispered:
"This Du family is also one of the big families in Jinling, although the strength is not as good as the four major families, but it is not much worse, they also made a fortune with jade treasures, and they have been inherited for a hundred years."
"Just some time ago, it was rumored that the old man of the Du family, Du Yuming, broke through the Sect Master of Huajin, which caused a sensation. If this is true, I am afraid that there will be another big family in Jinling in the future! ”
Just as he finished speaking, a group of people finally walked in outside the gate.
The leader is a middle-aged man, the man is average-looking but imposing, and a decent Mao suit sets off his figure straight.
And behind him, there were two people, an old man and a young man.
The old man was lying on his back and looked good, but Jiang Tian could see at a glance that this person was actually a late-stage martial artist with internal strength!
It doesn't matter, though!
What matters is that youth!
Because, Jiang Tian found that the young man who followed the man was actually Duke who had beaten him up in the night bar two days ago!
