Cao Chengmu smiled, nodded slightly and explained: "Auction is the same as court, but only four words."
"Giving kindness and power at the same time."
"A combination of kindness and power?"
Ji Xu's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
"If the favor is not enough, the order will not be fulfilled."
"If the power is insufficient, the people will be unstable."
"Favor is afraid of benefiting first and then losing; fear of fear is loosening first and then tightening."
“If you gain first and lose later, your kindness will turn into hatred, and all your previous efforts will be wasted.
If you loosen things first and then tighten them, you will not be able to control them and will only cause resentment and anger.”
Having said this, Cao Chengmu paused slightly, and saw that the Eighth Prince in front of him seemed to be lost in thought, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice: It seems that the words of this city lord have touched his soul.
Seeing Ji Xu nod slightly, Cao Chengmu continued: "The same is true for Huanhua Tower."
"And from top to bottom, it's like a royal court, with status from high to low."
"Now His Highness is in the highest position, and everyone under his eyes is surrendering."
"If you don't have restraint, you will lose your authority; if you don't have the patience, you won't stand."
"Therefore, His Highness must be kind and powerful when making a bid."
"Don't take action easily until there is a tit-for-tat confrontation."
"If His Highness joins the bidding at this time, everyone downstairs will be wary of His Majesty's power and hesitate a little.
But it won’t be long before they put His Highness’s power aside and join the bidding again.”
"But if everyone waits until the bidding reaches a stalemate, they will have all kinds of concerns in their hearts."
"If His Highness makes another bid at this time, adding a layer of majesty to them out of thin air will be like the last straw for the camel."
"Therefore, taking advantage of the situation can strengthen your favor and power."
Ji Xu thought about it for a long time after hearing this, and when he looked at Cao Chengmu again, there was already a bit more respect in his eyes.
…
Third floor.
Li Sao's eyes rolled wildly, and then she raised her right hand nonchalantly.
The monks were stunned when they saw this: I didn't expect Master Li Sao to be so rich.
Only Li Chen burst out laughing.
How can this guy be rich? He has a heart to cause trouble.
However, it suits me just fine~
…
The flying goddess in mid-air was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that the 'thousand pieces' spiritual stone was a hurdle.
Once the price exceeds 'one thousand yuan', it will inevitably cause everyone to hesitate.
But she didn't expect that someone would make another offer so soon.
I couldn't help but wonder: Who is that person on the third floor?
"One thousand one hundred dollars!"
Her voice echoed through Huanhua Tower, causing an uproar immediately.
“I got an offer so quickly!”
"It turns out there are so many rich people."
"The difference in the world..."
…
Fifth floor.
Du Ziteng suddenly opened his eyes. The pupils in his eyes were only the size of mung beans, but they were shining brightly.
"So fast~"
"He must be a delicious person~"
Thinking of this, he licked the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows. The guard in the corner seemed to have received the signal and directly raised his hand to quote.
"One thousand and two!"
The Feitian Goddess was completely stunned.
After all these years of working in the industry, it has never been as crazy as today.
In just a few breaths, he went from one hundred spirit stones to one thousand, reaching one hundred and two.
Key quotes have not slowed down at all.
"One thousand three~"
Li Sao from the third floor raised her hand in an understatement.
It seems that this time, it is as simple as eating and drinking water.
"Master Li Sao... you..."
Young monk Ying Hui secretly marveled.
However, Monk Ye Hui saw through the clues and smiled: "I think Master Li Sao...has mastered the Void Palm."
"Void Palm?" Monk Ying Hui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he realized: "Hahaha, Master Lisao is really a wonderful monk~"
"hey-hey."
"This Nine Dragon Cauldron has a destiny with the young monk. The young monk must contribute to it no matter what~"
"It makes sense, it makes sense~"
"Master Li Sao, let's discuss it. How about we take turns raising our hands?"
"this……"
"Sharing happiness means doubling happiness~"
"Of course you can~"
The third floor is peaceful.
But compared to the fourth and sixth floors, my heart sank.
Especially Xia Houfeng on the fourth floor.
When he saw that the other party was biting so tightly, his heart sank. If it continued like this, the price would slowly rise.
He had to scare away some of them first, and then he suddenly opened his eyes: "Two thousand yuan!"
Two thousand yuan directly?
After he quoted the price, the flying goddess in mid-air was stunned.
It jumped directly from one thousand two thousand yuan to two thousand yuan!
After taking a breath, Zhuge Wei let out a long sigh of relief, turned and tapped his feet, and his figure instantly increased by more than ten feet.
The petals around her turned into butterflies and followed her until she reached the highest point.
The dancing butterflies are floating all over the sky.
The entire Huanhua Building entered into a carnival once again.
"Two thousand pieces...the best spiritual stone!!"
"What is this concept?"
"It's enough to buy half a movie studio."
"I don't know about that. I only know that if they were all replaced by Loulan Charming Demon... I would be very happy~"
"It's getting late, go home and go to bed early."
…
Sure enough, this price was like a depth charge that set the entire Huanhua Building on fire.
The bidding also came to a brief lull.
But this stagnation was immediately broken by the third floor.
"Two thousand one~"
The one who raised his hand this time was young monk Ying Hui.
It was the first time he raised his hand to bid, and he was still a little nervous. What if the photo was actually taken?
Thinking of this, his palms began to sweat slightly, and his face gradually turned red.
The one who was more nervous than him was the flying goddess suspended in mid-air.
As a Huanhua auctioneer who has been in the industry for many years, there are usually not many who have more than one hundred top-quality spiritual stones.
But today it suddenly doubled 20 times.
Today is destined to be the highlight moment of her career.
"Two thousand one hundred dollars!"
The entire Huanhua Tower began to shake amidst the cheers of the audience.
They are all witnesses to this feast.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The few people who were really interested in this Prisoner Ox Cauldron all frowned slightly at this time.
Xia Houfeng on the fourth floor gritted his teeth and his eyes gradually deepened.
I didn't expect that in such a wild place, someone could pay such a high price.
However, he also understood that 'two thousand pieces of top-quality spiritual stone' was indeed a low price for Qi Niu Ding.
At best, this price can only scare off some lucky people.
Fifth floor.
Du Ziteng smiled: "I didn't expect that the spittoon that I have chosen would be so popular~"
"Very good, very good~"
"Three thousand."
The personal guard in the corner seemed to be used to this.
But the flying goddess suspended in mid-air felt her head was buzzing.
One hundred to one thousand.
One thousand to two thousand.
Two thousand to three thousand.
The whole process only takes a cup of tea.
This Prison Niu Tripod is destined to be recorded in the history of Huanhua Tower.
She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Three thousand yuan!"
As soon as these words came out, the monk Xunhuang who was still in shock suddenly couldn't believe his ears.
Many people even started to pinch their cheeks...
Sixth floor.
Ji Xu was impressed in his heart: If he had really participated in the bidding just now, he would have fallen into a whirlpool.
