In addition to this small circle, there was another small circle that also surprised him. There were also only five or six people, and there were also some strong men with unfathomable strength. But these people had one thing in common, they were all women.
As far as Lin Yi knows, apart from Zhongdao, among the four surrounding islands, only West Island is a gathering place for female cultivators. Unless there are special cases like Shangguan Laner on the other three islands, there are generally few female cultivators.
, so the origins of these people can be easily revealed.
Not to mention other people, the ones that Lin Yi can recognize now include the spirit beast clan of the South Island, the female cultivators of the West Island, and people like Shopkeeper Hao. This so-called North Island Auction has surprisingly
Experts from more than three islands have gathered, and among the rest, there may even be experts from the East Island.
This is a little different from the introduction that Lin Yi heard from Hong Zhong before. The North Island auction is held every six months, and usually only the forces from the North Island participate. The forces from the other islands are generally not invited, and
Never get involved.
But this time, it was obviously different. Coupled with the anomalies that had been discovered on the road before, even a layman like Lin Yi could now clearly draw the conclusion that Hong Zhong and the Hong Chamber of Commerce behind him had obviously been tricked by someone.
Tricked.
Hong Zhong naturally knew what Lin Yi could see, even though he was a mature man who was used to seeing big winds and waves, his face couldn't help but become gloomy.
At this time, a man in white suddenly stood up from the pavilion, swept across the lake gracefully and lightly, appeared in front of Lin Yi and others, smiled at Hong Zhong and said: "Shopkeeper Hong, you are well, I have been waiting for you for a long time.
.”
Hong Zhong cupped his hands and said: "Steward Song, you are fine. May I ask, is this auction any different from the past?"
Hearing this, the man known as Butler Song smiled playfully and said: "Shopkeeper Hong, your question is biased. Although the auction is held on my island in the far north, we are just
You are just a landlord who provides a place and sends people to do the work. All matters are decided by your own discussion and never go through our hands. If there is any difference, you should know better than me."
Hong Zhong took a deep look at him, nodded and said: "That's true. Forgive me for being presumptuous. Can Butler Song tell me when the auction will start?"
"I do know that the auction will officially start in three days." Butler Song smiled lightly.
"Three days later?" Hong Zhong's eyes suddenly condensed, and Lin Yi next to him was also surprised when he heard this. In the past, the Beidao auction was always done in one day, and he could go back and forth on the same day without any accidents. This time, it was arranged three days later.
, as expected, there are a lot of tricks.
Butler Song raised his head and glanced at the people in the pavilion in the distance, then looked at Hong Zhong, with a playful look on his face: "For the sake of our personal relationship for many years, I might as well remind you that this auction is no longer the previous Beidao auction.
, but the Four Islands Auction Expo. In the next three days, all the important people from the other three islands will be present, and even people from the Central Island will come. For you chambers of commerce, this is a rare and big scene, so take care of yourself.
.”
After that, Butler Song walked away, leaving Hong Zhong alone in shock and daze, without speaking for a long time.
"Shopkeeper Hong, if there is anything you need help with, I would like to do my best," Lin Yi said proactively.
From a simple North Island Auction to a Four Islands Auction Expo, the style and level have been greatly improved. At the same time, Hong Zhong, who was kept in the dark from beginning to end, can be said to have been severely hacked.
No wonder the other chamber of commerce forces each carry a large amount of goods. If it were just an ordinary North Island auction, it would not be consumed at all. But the Four Islands Auction Expo is different. All forces in the four islands will send people here.
It is a rare event, and no matter how much goods are sold, they can be auctioned off.
For many chambers of commerce, this time is not only an opportunity to make a fortune, but also an excellent opportunity to increase their influence. The performance of this four-island auction can even affect the status of major chambers of commerce within the merchant alliance.
Ranking, this is a key ranking related to cake distribution.
The law of the jungle is stronger than the stronger. This natural law is particularly vividly reflected in the business world, especially in extremely competitive business alliances. The one who is ahead and the one who is behind are completely different situations. With the snowball effect, even if there is only one ranking
Due to the difference in names, it is not uncommon for the former one to swallow up the latter one.
This time, other chambers of commerce came well prepared. Only Hong Zhong and the Hong Chamber of Commerce knew nothing about it. In addition, all the goods were lost during the attack. It was obvious that they were jointly targeted by these people.
The careful consideration is obvious.
Even if Hong's Chamber of Commerce has a big tree and deep roots, don't forget that any chamber of commerce that can deal with it will not be weak. If the Four Islands Auction Expo turns into a disgrace, it may become a Waterloo afterwards, which will be a trap for everyone.
.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your kindness. Your thirteen top-quality Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pills are already a help in times of need. I will find a way to solve other matters." Hong Zhong smiled and had regained his usual calmness.
Lin Yi's thirteen top-quality Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pills were added temporarily before departure and were not packaged with other goods. Instead, Hong Zhong kept them personally, which was a blessing in misfortune.
In addition, even if the two boxes of lots are dropped, as long as the response is timely, there is still a way to replenish them before the auction, so there is no need to worry too much.
Having said that, Hong Zhong did not go to the pavilion to chat with those so-called old acquaintances, but took Lin Yi directly to the room. He himself went straight to the pavilion, and immediately activated the Flying Eagle to send letters to the Hong Chamber of Commerce Zhongdao Headquarters and other
The branch on the island explained the situation they just learned.
Although there is no teleportation array in the Far North Island, there is in the North Island, and the North Island branch has a special quick contact method with the Hong Chamber of Commerce headquarters. As long as the Flying Eagle sends a letter back to the North Island branch, the news will be passed through the North Island branch.
You will get a response within one day.
This time, the Four Islands Auction Expo, the Hong Chamber of Commerce did not receive any news from top to bottom, and there was no preparation in advance. However, fortunately, there are still three days left, and if the response is timely, there is still a way to remedy the situation.
While Hong Zhong was busy mending the situation, Lin Yi had nothing to do. He was wandering around among the pavilions and pavilions inside the palace. It was a rare trip to the far north island, so naturally he wanted to see it. r1152
