Xie Feng, Gaota, Sherlottmetheus and others sat around before cooking. Lamino and the other two had already come back. Xiao Xun served a bowl of fragrant rice for each of them, then sat next to Xie Feng and had a meal with them.

According to the rules, maids and maids cannot have dinner with their masters at the same table, but Xie Feng used customs and habits to let Xiaoxun sit down. This is also the reason why Xiaoxun was moved. Xie Feng did not think she was a maid at all, but was caring like a sister.

After a few days of getting along, Xie Feng and others became familiar with Xiao Xun, the little girl who suddenly joined. When talking about certain things, they did not let her leave. For Xiao Xun, this was a recognition.

"The fourth brother, Yan Sheng has prepared the store management rights auction, which has caused a lot of public anger. It is estimated that there will be troublemakers coming out to disrupt the situation at tomorrow's auction." Gaota said while eating.

Nodded, Xie Feng said: "It is normal for people to cause trouble, but Yan Sheng's image has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is normal for him to do this. The original operators of the shops are the ones who cause trouble. Most of the others are probably ready to take a look at those dozen stores and expand their business scope. In general, Yan Sheng's move can still be approved by most people."

Sherot Mitheus said: "We will also go to the scene tomorrow to see it in case the Xue family will cause any trouble. After all, Yan Sheng is just a wealthy businessman, and compared with the family, there is still an insurmountable distance."

The main job of a merchant is to make money, and the family also has to manage a huge territory, and all expenses are amazing. Therefore, in terms of strength, the family is worse than the merchant. But in terms of wealth, many families, especially low-level families, are obviously inferior to the rich. As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill, and the merchant's connections are also quite large, and they often affect the whole body and cannot be underestimated.

Of course, compared with big families, merchants are always just businessmen, and businessmen without power cannot be compared with the industries run by big families. The reason why big families are prosperous is that in addition to strong force, the economy is also the first factor. Without strong economic strength, can big families cultivate many excellent management talents and experts?

No matter how much money a wealthy businessman has, it is difficult to obtain real power, but a powerful family can easily make money. The difference between the two is obvious.

Next, in a large restaurant located in the east area of ​​Jiutian Mall, after being arranged, it turned into an auction house. Early in the morning, merchants who had already heard the news arrived one after another, led by waiters and entered the restaurant waiting for the auction to begin.

Lieyu slowly took off, and more and more floating cars were parked in front of the restaurant gate. Almost all the merchants in the eastern area came, and even many merchants in other areas were there.

Zhou Tiezhu and others naturally came early. Looking at the restaurant full of merchants and heads of various families, Zhou Tiezhu couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. Among the families present, it was probably only their family that was a seventh-class family. Next, the seventh-class family will take pictures of the operating rights of thirteen stores. Just imagination made Zhou Tiezhu feel chilled.

What will others think of the Zhou family at that time? What can a small Zhou family have to do with other families? These questions have always made Zhou Tiezhu feel numb and she feels like walking on a tightrope at high altitude. But Zhou Tiezhu also knew very well that this opportunity must not be missed, otherwise, he would be too sorry to the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tiezhu couldn't help but touch the statute that was placed in her arms. She finally felt a little relieved and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" She led the Zhou family into the restaurant and auction.

In the second floor, Xie Feng, Sherlott Mithus and others had already sat here. Gaota, Lamino and others were arranged to disperse among the crowd on the first floor to respond to emergencies in a timely manner. Especially the special abilities of Gaota, this time, it will affect other people's words and deeds without realizing it.

From the second floor, you can directly see the situation of the hosting desk downstairs. There is still an hour before the auction officially begins. Suddenly, Xie Feng noticed several gazes shot towards him, frowned slightly, and he looked up.

"Well, are these guys?" The first thing Xie Feng saw at first was Ouyang Xin, a girl who was very similar to Murong Tianzi. She met Xie Feng's gaze. She immediately turned her head aside, as if she was dodging and did not dare to look at Xie Feng in front of her.

Another angry look was Liu Yeyun. This guy didn't understand why Xie Feng kicked away that night, but he was not an idiot. After that time, he already knew very well that Xie Feng's hidden strength could only be described in the word "terrible".

However, he dared to come this time, so he naturally had some support. Next to Liu Yeyun, his two masters, both masters at the peak of the ninth level of internal strength. When he learned that Liu Yeyun and Ouyang Xin were bullied, the Huayang Sect, a guardian of the calf, immediately sent two masters to help them.

Huayangmen is a dignified five-star martial arts sect. If you are bullied, you will naturally have to get back to the scene. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a laughing stock?

"Master, do you want me to go over and teach them a lesson?" Carter suddenly spoke. He was a little unhappy about the bad things that the Huayang Sect people were not only good.

Xie Feng smiled, his smile full of evil spirits, "We are good people, and we don't bully others on our own initiative. After the auction is over, they will probably come to the door to find a shot."

Sherot Mitheus, who was standing beside her, also smiled. Although he rarely took action and never fought with anyone after he arrived on Earth, his strength was also unfathomable. Galina once commented on Sherot Mitheus that he was a master who was infinitely close to King Zochira, and no one knew his true strength.

There were two other gazes that made Xie Feng frown, especially the old man standing behind Shangguan Wuxi. His eyes were so sharp that Xie Feng could feel that this person had been looking at him after he appeared, and his strength was not weak, much stronger than the two masters of Huayang Sect.

After practicing the Xuantian Martial Arts, Xie Feng was able to judge the strength of a warrior with his weak aura. This was a very wonderful feeling, as if there was a certain resonance between the warriors.

The arrival of the Shangguan family makes people feel a little strange. I wonder how such a powerful family would appear at this auction. Will the Shangguan family's huge family industry still look at more than a dozen stores in Jiutian Mall?

Of course, no one would think that the eldest young master of the Shangguan family came here to watch the show, and they could not know their purpose yet. After the auction began, the answer would be revealed. If the Shangguan family really came to compete for the management rights of those more than a dozen stores, no one would dare to compete with them.

Who can be a businessman is not a fox reincarnation? You can even think that once you get into the Shangguan family, you will be waiting to be killed by someone. Except for Xie Feng and others present, there are probably no one who is not afraid of the Shangguan family.

The Xue family is also in the second floor, and in Jiutian Mall, the Xue family is also a big force. Among the five areas of Jiutian Mall, there are only six fifth-class families, and most of the rest are sixth-class families. There are not a seventh-class families like the Zhou family, but they are all huddled in the corner, and no one can have as good luck as the Zhou family.

The elegant seat of the Shangguan family was diagonally opposite Xie Feng and others. After everyone glanced at these people's bad eyes, they basically ignored them. The second-class family is very large, but compared with the entire Xie Empire, there is no comparison surname. And who is sitting in the seat is not the core figure of the Xie Empire? Even the supreme ruler of the Xie Empire is present. In terms of identity, Ramino and others are probably a few levels higher than the head of the Shangguan family.

"Oh, sorry, I'm late."

A lazy voice came. Xie Feng turned his head and saw Li Hong shook the folding fan in his hand and walked along the stairs to the second floor with a smile. He looked at Ouyang Xin and then looked at Xie Feng. He didn't even have a top-notch beauty. He couldn't help but sigh, but he still walked towards Xie Feng.

When he arrived at the elegant seat of Xie Feng and others, Li Hong seemed to have arrived at his own house. He sat down directly, grabbed a fruit and ate it, and said while chewing: "Brother Jin has many seats here, don't you mind taking a single seat, do you?"

Xie Feng was amused and crying, "You have sat down, may I even throw you downstairs?"

Li Hong put away the folding fan and smiled: "Brother Jin is a generous person. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to come to you. Sitting among so many masters, I'm frightened!"

When Sherlot and Carter heard Li Hong's words, they couldn't help but glance at him. Xie Feng smiled and said, "Masters are also human beings. If you don't mess with them, who will make trouble for you in your spare time?"

"Brother Jin is also talking about it. For a rookie like me, I guess experts are too lazy to take a look, haha!" Li Hong smiled and said, "I really thank you for your wish to let me go last time. That red pill of the best witch girl is really a big tonic! I am so grateful."

Capturing the sincere gratitude in Li Hong's eyes, Xie Feng smiled faintly and did not discuss any discussion about the top witch. After all, he did not understand such things, so it was difficult to talk about in-depth.

Li Hong smiled rather seriously on the surface, but he was able to compete with Liu Yeyun and Shangguan Wuxi for Ouyang Xin. This alone shows that this person's identity is not simple. Xie Feng did not ask about his identity, just like Li Hong did not ask about his affairs. Everyone met by chance, and it would be a different matter if they got together.

Diagonally opposite, when he saw Li Hong talking and laughing with Xie Feng, Shangguan Wuxi couldn't help but snorted coldly, "This Hong Zimu is really a cynical person to make friends with everyone."

"Hong Zimu?" Shangguan Hai couldn't help frowning when he heard this name, but he didn't think deeply about it. He continued to look at Xie Feng. He could clearly feel that Xie Feng was just a warrior who had just practiced to the second level of internal strength. Young people with this kind of strength were everywhere on the ground, not worth mentioning.

However, Shangguan Wuxi said that Mr. Jin was able to kick Liu Yeyun away in an explosive state of internal energy, which made Shangguan Hai puzzled. It was not difficult to find out from the resentful expression in Liu Yeyun's eyes that he hated and feared him, and it was obvious that Shangguan Wuxi did not lie.

However, how can a warrior with the second level of internal strength defeat a master with the seventh level of internal strength?

This is why Shangguan Hai is concerned about Xie Feng, but with his acquired realm, he didn't see anything else special about Xie Feng besides the strength of the second level of the inner diameter. If you really want to say that there is, it is the calmness and calmness that Xie Feng showed in his words and deeds, which is a temperament of being in high positions for a long time and ignoring the people.

Such a temperament appears on a young man, which is really intriguing.

Click!

A crisp knock woke Shangguan Hai up and attracted everyone's attention.

On the stage downstairs, a manager under Yan Sheng officially announced the start of the auction. In the elegant seat, Li Hong asked curiously: "Brother Jin, do you like watching the show? There are many people watching the show today."

Xie Feng smiled, "Aren't you here to watch the show?"

Li Hong's expression was still the same hilarious look, and he said casually, "I'm just here to watch the show."

He knew that there was something in his words, but Xie Feng didn't say it straight. After laughing, he stopped talking, but paid attention to the progress of the auction. With Zhang Wang's introduction, the merchants who came to participate in the auction of the thirteen shops had a new understanding of the geographical location and current status of the thirteen shops.

These thirteen shops are all shops with contracts that are about to expire. Among them, the two of the Zhou family have the best locations, and three of the other families. The other eight shops are not good or bad in geographical locations, but for those operators with worse locations, it is considered good.

Due to its good geographical location, Zhou's tea shop, seafood shop and three other shops naturally became the main targets for everyone. The five shops cover a very large area, and no matter what business they are used for, they are very suitable.

"The official auction is now started. First of all, the shop at No. 1', located on Nine Street, with a starting price of 500 silver dollars per year, and each bid is no less than 50 silver dollars. Those with the higher price will get!" Because the gold dollar is large, merchants like to use silver dollars to conduct normal transactions. Looking at the wooden hammer in their hands, "The auction begins!"

The merchants and the managers of various families were silent for a while. The Yan family was really cruel. The starting price was directly the original price of this store. Everyone was secretly thinking about the value of this store. After a while, the Liu family, which was operating in the No. 1' shop, was the first to bid.

"Five hundred and fifty!"

Although he was angry, the Liu family could only accept the fact that Yan Sheng took back the management rights.

The auction of store management rights is not like other rare antiques. After all, businessmen use stores to make money. If the rent is too high, who is willing to rent it? Only idiots who lose money will do it.

"Six hundred!" A merchant who wanted to get a better location raised the price a little more.

The scene was a bit cold, and there were endless chaotic discussions, but no one was willing to give too high a few to take a picture of the operating rights of the store. The Liu family gritted their teeth and raised the price by another fifty silver dollars. "Six hundred and five!" The profit this store brought to the Liu family was quite large. The rent was expensive, and at most it would be less profitable, but it was better than not making any profit.

On the elegant seat on the second floor, Xie Feng looked at Zhou Tiezhu without a trace, and found that his expression was still a little nervous. He wanted to raise one hand but hesitated, and was undecided. Suddenly, he turned to look at the second floor. Xie Feng nodded slightly to him, but didn't look at him directly.

Zhou Tiezhu understood, as if she had taken a reassurance, and immediately raised her hand, "Seven hundred!"

The Liu family immediately cast an angry look and found that it was the Zhou family who was bidding, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression. The other merchants and the family managers were also stunned and thought to themselves what the Zhou family wanted to do? It was so high that they felt that there was no hope of bidding for their stores and wanted to take the operating rights of other stores, so they would stay in Jiutian Mall to continue operating?

Thinking of this, people felt relieved. After all, the Zhou family has been operating in Jiutian Mall for hundreds of years and has many old customers. If they suddenly leave, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. It seems that they are taking a gamble.

The Liu family was so angry that they made a cruel decision to raise the price to 750. Although Zhou Tiezhu was nervous, the documents written by Yan Sheng in his arms made him more courageous than those who were told, and continued to bid, "Eight hundred!"

This time, the Liu family was impotence and they would not do a loss-making business and no longer bid for auction. The price of 800 yuan has increased the original rent by nearly double. Who can afford it?

Seeing that no one bids with the Zhou family again, Zhang Wangchao decided to make a decision, "Okay, the No. 1' shop was taken by the Zhou family and delivered for use in two months."

After a pause, continue to start the next round of auctions.

To everyone's surprise, the store in the second round of auction turned out to be one of the five best-placed stores.

Suddenly, everyone's emotions rose.

As Zhang Wang finished speaking, the merchants and managers of various families scrambled to the top. Because the starting price was relatively low and people had their own bottom lines in their hearts, the scene was extremely hot for a while and the price was rising. As soon as the bidding sound fell, a new price was shouted out on the other side.

When the auction price was 2,200,000 yuan, the voice gradually became sparse. Businessmen are rational investors, not blind adventurers. Moreover, the auction of store management rights does not fall into the scope of adventure, and they must think rationally.

The location of the store No. 78 is quite special. It is surrounded by shops that operate various metal utensils. Only families mainly manufacture metal utensils will continue to bid for auction at this time.

"Two thousand five!"

Suddenly a voice made the audience quiet, because the person who bid was Zhou Tiezhu of the Zhou family.

Everyone else was confused now. The Zhou family mainly focused on the tea and seafood industry. Why bid for the No. 78 store?

The discussions were heard one after another, and everyone was confused. It was also a pity that Zhou Tiezhu had seen many storms and her face remained unchanged. After the price was paid, she took her hand back and remained silent. There was no other strange expression on her face.

"Two thousand eight!" Some people continued to raise prices.

Zhou Tiezhu immediately followed, "Three thousand!"

Seeing that the Zhou family was bound to win, no one finally increased the price, because the price of 3,000 was already a very high price for the No. 78 store.

The next three stores were all purchased by the Zhou family at a high price. Finally, other merchants began to feel that the Zhou family was a bit weird. Is it worth it for such a high price in Jiutian Mall? How much money can you make? Are the Zhou family all fools?

Feeling the contempt and confusing gazes of the crowd around him, Zhou Tiezhu no longer dared to think about other things at this time. Anyway, he gritted his teeth and offered a high price. He raised his head and looked at Xie Feng. For some reason, he felt that as long as Xie Feng nodded to this matter, there would be no mistake.

"Hmm?" Shangguan Wuxi accidentally discovered Zhou Tiezhu's actions and couldn't help but frown, "Is it the person named Jin behind the Zhou family who is supporting him?"
