The three of them went to the living room upstairs. A middle-aged man was sitting in the main seat. He looked very kind.
"Are the two of you trying to cut the line? Do you know that the auction will be held the day after tomorrow?”
"If it's something too ordinary, please leave. We don't need to see it!”
Before taking out his own auction item, the other side was prepared to grind down the temper of the Zhou Tong duo.
The Second Master and Zhou Tong were not talkative people, much less when faced with this kind of person who came up to suppress them.
Zhou Tong took out a red brocade box from his bosom. This brocade box had been provided by Lord Zeng. Although he didn't know if Zhou Tong would be able to obtain the Cold Cicada Pearl, he had still prepared it beforehand.
The delicate 'man' carried a red tray over to Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong placed the small box on it.
However, there were many tricks in this industry. Unless the two of them were familiar with each other, they would take the item directly from each other. Otherwise, they would usually put it on the table or somewhere else.
The other person would come over to take it. Otherwise, if an accident happened when he passed it over, who would take it?
The middle-aged man took the red brocade box and opened it. At first, he was disdainful, but when he saw Zhou Tong's unusually calm expression and extraordinary bearing, he patiently continued to read.
However, after a closer look, he discovered that this Cold Cicada Pearl was special. He had thought that it was just an ordinary pearl, but he did not expect it to be this.
As if to make sure that he was not eye-catching, he took out a pair of gloves made of silk from under the tea table.(Actually, only calligraphy and metal gloves are used to show that they are important, so he also wore a pair!)）
He held the Cold Cicada Pearl in his hand and observed it carefully. Then, he sighed and said,"
"What a pity. May I know your name?”
"Your surname is Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou, I wonder if this pearl is the Empress Dowager's Cold Cicada Pearl?”
"Yes, it is the Cold Cicada Pearl."
Hearing Zhou Tong's confirmation, the middle-aged man's emotions gradually became somewhat agitated, but with his many years of cultivation, he quickly calmed down.
"I wonder where Mr. Zhou got this pearl from?”
"Oh? Did Xinyue Restaurant have to ask about the goods now?”
In the face of Zhou Tong's question, the middle-aged man smiled awkwardly. Anyone with a bit of ability knew the origins of the Cold Cicada Pearl and its whereabouts.
If he got to the bottom of it, it would seem like he was a bit of a layman.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou. I was rude this time.”
"Mr. Zhou, do you have any other items with you, like the Cold Cicada Pearl?”
"Is this how your Xinyue Restaurant does business? I've really opened my eyes today."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou. Tell us your conditions. What are your conditions for you to transfer this Cold Cicada Pearl to us?”
"Two name cards and three spirit herbs from this auction!”
"Hehe, Mr. Zhou, you must be joking. We really want to buy this product. I hope Mr. Zhou can give us a sincere price!”
Asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the spot. After all, doing business was not a cold thing.
"I want Deer Living Grass!"
Zhou Tong's request made the middle-aged man somewhat moved. In terms of value, the Cold Cicada Pearl's value was slightly higher.
However, if they were to exchange the Deer Grass before the auction, it would affect the auction plan. The reputation of Xinyue Restaurant would be ruined.
"Mr. Zhou, why don't you change the conditions? This Deer Living Grass is the finale product of this auction. In order to protect the reputation of our Xinyue Restaurant, we definitely can't exchange it.”
"Then I want two name cards and this Cold Cicada Pearl to be auctioned at this auction.”
Each of Zhou Tong's requests put the middle-aged man in a difficult position. The name card was simple, and the second floor itself was not fully occupied, so giving away two seats was no problem.
However, if the Cold Cicada Pearl was auctioned in this auction, no one could say for sure what price it would fetch. After all, a Baylor was invited this time.
Who was Baylor? He was so poor that he only had money left. When he saw such a rare item, it would not be a problem for him to increase the original price by 50%.
Would he finally cause trouble? After all, Xinyue Restaurant was not to be trifled with.
"If this doesn't work, then I have no choice. At most, I'll get someone else to buy it for us. I've already handed over my trump card. I want to see Xinyue Hotel's sincerity.”
"Since Mr. Zhou is so straightforward, this Yin will be at a disadvantage if I continue to struggle. Slave Ting, bring me two blank name cards.”
"Mr. Zhou, I wonder if this name card…?”
"Zhou Tong of Sand City, Lord Zhang of Sand City. Just write these two.”
"Sand City? Lord Zhang? Mr. Zhou, please keep it well and don't lose it. Our Xinyue Hotel recognizes the invitation card but not the person.”
"This is the certificate of the Cold Cicada Pearl. When the auction is over, Mr. Zhou can come to me directly with the certificate. As for the price of the Cold Cicada Pearl, Mr. Zhou will not be charged.”
"If Mr. Zhou has similar treasures in the future, Xinyue Hotel will only charge 5% of the cost.”
"Thank you, Boss Yin. We still have things to do, so we won't disturb you.”
Zhou Tong took the two name cards and followed the Second Master back to the inn. This time, Zhou Tong's performance had greatly surprised February Hong (Hong). He had been listening to his subordinates talk about the current Second Master.
He didn't expect that in just a few years, he had grown to such an extent. This child had suffered a lot outside!
"Lord Zeng, Lord Ba, two invitations correspond to two rooms. Three people will squeeze into one room. My master and master's wife will sleep in one room!”
"That's the only way. After all, we have to abide by their rules when we're in their territory. Let's go, Eighth Brother. You can go back now. We'll pack up and prepare to set off at any time.”
"Alright. By the way, Second Young Master, what did you want me to bring? Two such big leather boxes."
"Hehe, do you want to take a look?"
"I don't want to see it. I'm not interested at all. I'll just watch it. Otherwise, wouldn't all my suffering along the way be in vain?”
Zhou Tong pulled open the door and hacked at it. It was stuffed full of money. This scene not only scared the Eighth Master silly, but even the Second Master and Lord Zeng were stunned.
"This, this…Young master, you are my ancestor. You dare to let me carry so much money. Aren't you afraid that something might happen on the way and you will lose this money?”
Eighth Master Qi was dumbfounded. So much money. The last time he saw so much money, it was for his father!
"I brought you here safely. It's okay. I believe you.”
"Second Master, your Little Second Master is really big-hearted. I don't care anymore. I've decided. I'll hug the money and sleep tonight.”
"Alright, carry it. I don't know when I'll see so much money again.”
In order to make this auction a little more stable, Zhou Tong had brought all the liquid funds of all the halls under him. In addition to the money brought by Lord Zeng and his master, it would be easier to light the three sky lanterns in the original work.
Moreover, there was a Cold Cicada Pearl as the finale this time, which could help them disperse their firepower. Perhaps they could get three spiritual herbs without so much money.
