Lao Zhu and I squirted out a sip of tea at the same time and almost choked to death.
"What nonsense! What nonsense!" Lao Zhu slapped the table and stood up.
"Brother, if these jokes are too big, how will they end?"
"Ahem..."
I coughed twice, glanced at the little fox, put the tea cup back on the table, and tapped the coffee table gently with my fingers. I didn't mean to blame the little fox. Although this kid was a bit outrageous, it was still a good step.
It is indeed the most effective way to save time.
"Brother Zhu, I have a question. Can you tell me the truth?" I looked at Lao Zhu and asked seriously.
"What's the problem?" Lao Zhu was obviously tense.
I pondered for a moment and then asked: "Are you determined to get this flower from the other side?"
Lao Zhu nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I came here just for it."
I admired Lao Zhu's frankness. After thinking about it, I asked again: "Is it related to your old man's illness?"
Faced with this question, Lao Zhu was obviously hesitant, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Since I asked, I won't hide it from you anymore. This Bana Flower is not only related to my father's body, but also to the fate of our Zhu family, so
I have to get it."
Luck?
How can a mere flower of the other side be related to luck?
It seems that there is a secret behind this that I don't know about?
If this were normal, I wouldn't care much about this secret, but when these things happen to several of their families, this matter is worthy of further investigation.
After all, these families are all powerful forces that shake the whole of Kyushu. The luck they care about must be of great importance behind it.
I seem to have seized an opportunity, an opportunity that allows me to gain a foothold in the imperial capital.
Almost instantly, I made a decision.
"I understand. If my guess is correct, the Chen family, the Zhou family, and several other big families in the imperial capital are bound to get it, right?"
"Indeed, this is what I'm most worried about!" Lao Zhu looked slightly solemn.
"Brother Zhu doesn't seem to have much confidence?" I asked.
Lao Zhu sighed softly, "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes. I really don't have much confidence. Our family's financial resources are simply incomparable with other families, so I invited Mr. Wan and Mr. Nan to help out. Even so, we can use
Our funds are only around 10 billion, but as soon as you, little brother, open your mouth, I’m afraid we won’t have much chance to bid anymore.”
Lao Zhu looked at the little fox, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
"No way?"
I looked at Mr. Nan and Mr. Wan in surprise. One of them is a tycoon from Macau, and the other is a boss from Guangdong. Together with Lao Zhu himself, the three companies have more than 10 billion, which seems a bit unreasonable.
When Mr. Wan and Mr. Nan saw my expression, their eyes suddenly flashed and they smiled helplessly. Mr. Wan even looked apologetic.
"Although the two of us have a lot of assets, most of them are invested in fixed assets. In addition, the company also needs funds to operate, and there is only so much working capital that can be used. This is how business is done. On the surface, it looks good.
, In fact, everyone has their own difficulties, brother, as the son-in-law of the Hu family, you should also know this, we have really tried our best!"
Mr. Nan next to him nodded with deep understanding, a helpless expression on his face, but panic hidden in his eyes.
Old Man Wan seemed to be explaining to me, but in fact he was explaining to Old Zhu. I could see that he was still very nervous inside.
After all, facing a family and background like Lao Zhu, they must be cautious. Even if they try to help, they must show the same attitude as their grandson. This is the gap in absolute strength. No matter how solid and stable the relationship is, it also needs to be beneficial.
In this era, there are many rich people, but there are indeed very few who can keep it and keep it for a long time!
this is the truth!
Lao Zhu saw everything in his eyes, and his expression didn't change much. He sighed and said: "Brother Wan, what are you talking about? We, the Zhu family, are very grateful that you two can help us. No matter whether we can succeed today or not, our Zhu family will be grateful."
I owe you two a favor."
The words were very polite and strict.
Both Mr. Wan and Mr. Wan were very polite, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
I saw all this in my eyes and secretly sighed at the tact and sophistication of these people. But then I thought about it, I might become such a person in the future.
But I won’t do that right now!
Because I have my own methods and means, I need to find my own relationships and positions to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, but I will never determine my status through money, because I know that although this kind of relationship is established quickly, it will not last long.
Going down is pretty quick too.
What I need is an equal relationship, an absolutely equal relationship.
"In this case, Brother Zhu, I think you should give up the bidding! If nothing else, the Zhou family will not let anything fall into your hands." I said.
"By the way, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. It seems that the Zhou family has not participated in the auction yet." Old Man Wan said doubtfully.
I smiled coldly, "If I guess correctly, they won't participate in the bidding in person."
"Why?"
Everyone looked at me in surprise.
I turned to look at Xiaozhi's room on the other side and said softly: "Because someone will help them. If you and I are together, I'm afraid they are no match for them."
Lao Zhu's expression changed slightly, but he seemed to have already guessed what would happen. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still hit the table with his fist helplessly.
At this time, his son suddenly said: "Dad, if it doesn't work out, I will sign the contract. At worst, I will use my life to make up for it."
"Nonsense!"
Lao Zhu glared at his son fiercely, "Do you think this is a joke?"
"But…"
His son wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the sound coming from the next room.
"10 billion, what a big deal! Are you really here to cause trouble?" This voice was very familiar, it was the same old man who spoke to Zhou Qingyang before.
The sound was so loud that the entire auction house could hear it clearly.
For a moment, all eyes turned towards us, even Zhong Lan was no exception.
Qian Nannan's sneer also sounded, "I think they are causing trouble, so I asked Tianji Pavilion again to check their accounts."
"You old man, are you itchy again? Why are you everywhere?" The little fox immediately shouted back.
Qian Dongnan was instantly furious and gritted his teeth.
"We also asked to check their accounts and maliciously disrupted them. Your Majesty will not let us go unchecked, right?" Lao Ri's tone became more aggressive.
At this time, even Zhong Lan's expression on the stage changed. She seemed a little troubled and looked at our room with an angry look.
"I also asked to see their account. It's 10 billion. Do you really think they are kids playing house? They don't even look at where this is. It's like they have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard." Zhou Qingyang's voice also rang out.
Zhong Lan instantly felt that the pressure doubled, and her pretty face became even more difficult to look at.
Although Tianji Pavilion is powerful, in the final analysis, it is still a Xuanmen force. It needs to deal with all the major forces, and it will also weigh the pros and cons, and it will never dare to be unscrupulous.
What I didn't expect even more was that my cheap cousin also stepped in and said, "Yes, I also agree to check their accounts."
I immediately shook my head helplessly, thinking to myself, this is just a double ratio!
However, before he could finish his words, a familiar voice interrupted him, "Shut up."
"Grandma, what's wrong? They..."
"I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?" The old lady's voice suddenly became stern.
Chen Kainan quickly shut his mouth and did not dare to speak anymore.
The process was very short, but I could not help but feel a flash of emotion in my eyes. If I guessed correctly, the old lady should have heard the little fox's voice.
After all, they had met before during the trip to the Northeast, but the little fox had been with me all the time. The old lady was so smart, she must have noticed my arrival, so she severely scolded Chen Kainan and protected my grandson.
Just like in the Northeast.
It's a pity that my cheap cousin doesn't have the brains.
At this time, I heard the old lady say loudly: "There are auction rules at the auction. This little girl also said just now that since we have no right to check the customer's account, we naturally cannot break other people's rules. Otherwise,
It’s not a good thing to say this, little girl, don’t you think so?”
Zhong Lan's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, "Thank you for your understanding, distinguished guest. Please continue."
"Well, that's right! Now that the price has reached this level, our Chen family also shows its trump card, 12 billion. Whoever pays a higher price than this will take it."
Although the old lady's voice was not loud, it seemed to have a shocking power.
The Zhou family didn’t dare to speak anymore…
I also kept my mouth shut when I was little...
Not to mention Qian Dongnan, the sixth child, he didn’t even dare to fart.
