Chapter 403 The violent storm [please vote for me at the end of the month]
This little incident just ended like this, which made many businessmen present heave a sigh of relief.
It's not that they are afraid of this sword cultivator, but the atmosphere of the treasure appraisal conference is good. If there is another bloody disaster, the meaning will not be good; businessmen only seek wealth, but no one is willing to fight and kill.
The reason why there were so many people at this treasure appraisal conference was because almost every house had powerful bodyguards by their sides, fearing that the sword cultivator would go on an unreasonable rampage. However, these hidden dangers were under Shen Yiguan's control.
No danger, it is truly the style of Daodao Sect, which makes people admire them.
Relatively speaking, Yanmen swordsmen who only know brute force are much worse. This is the difference in level.
With Bai Yujiang's lesson learned, no one would come to tease the two of them anymore. The treasure appraisal conference began to get down to business, full of professional bargaining. People gradually immersed themselves in the joy of the transaction and left those unhappiness behind.
In an uneventful manner, the treasure appraisal meeting came to an end.
A lot of transaction intentions were reached, which required more contacts and endless bargaining.
Two hours is a bit short for a treasure appraisal conference, but this is the plan of some people; the goal has been achieved, and humiliating the opponent to a certain extent has gone smoothly, so there is no need to prolong the conference too long to avoid unnecessary complications.
Zhu Changwen, who had been on tenterhooks all the time, let out a sigh of relief. He did not agree with such treasure appraisal. It was completely unnecessary and could easily intensify conflicts; but he also knew what those Taoist merchants were planning in private. If Hou Zi was as impulsive as his junior brother,
I'm afraid this will be another feast to divide the Bai family.
But Hou Zi endured it.
"I prepared a banquet at Binhai Building. Fellow Taoist Shen is here. Would you like to honor me?"
Zhu Changwen invited, saying that this was a negotiation and the greatest effort of the Jiedu government; but he did not think that Hou Zi would accept the invitation, but this was an attitude.
Who knew that Hou Zi nodded happily, "So, I'm just bothering Brother Zhu. Well, they say beautiful things are good for eating, and precious colors are good for eating. Why do I get hungrier the more I look at them?"
The treasure appraisal conference finally came to an end.
The merchants left the villa in groups of twos and threes, exchanging their views on the treasures, their estimation of the bidding, and who might be willing to take action.
Flying in the air, Bai Qingqian glanced at the lawn with nostalgia for the last time. Everything there was collected with great effort by her. Before it was put to any use, it became someone else's property, although she also understood that everything was irreversible.
, but I still feel a little disappointed.
It's such a pity.
In sight, the lawn became empty. Beringzhong and his son were nervously collecting their belongings, and dozens of monks were guarding the villa. It must be admitted that these people are still very cautious, and the villa will arrange it if they are bigger.
With dozens of monks guarding it, not even a fly can fly in, right?
The personnel are all from the Anhe Chamber of Commerce and the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, with the current background of Beringzhong and his son, they may not be able to sustain such a situation.
Coming so simply and leaving so lightly made her feel unreal. So, would such tolerance bring stability to the Bai family?
If not, what should be done? Amid internal and external troubles, she could not think of a feasible strategy.
Watching Hou Zi chatting and laughing all the way, I felt in my heart that he had really changed. He compromised in Jiedu Mansion, groomed in Gushe Xiaozhu, and tolerated in the treasure appraisal competition. He did all these things that were impossible to do before.
, may be more mature, but if she were asked to choose, would she choose him before? Or him now?
What makes her a little embarrassed is that she seems to like the reckless guy from before more?
Uncertain, the group came to the most upscale Binhai Building in the Mirage. All kinds of monsters in the sea are used as food here. A casual meal may be the training resources of an ordinary minor cultivator for several years, but for these big businessmen, it is Commonplace.
There were not many people attending the banquet, and they were accompanied by three Jiedu officials. The two parties in charge were Mr. Shen and Mr. and Mrs. Hou, and there were also several senior seniors with high moral standing in the mirage business district. They were known for their generosity and had many connections. wide.
The purpose of all this is to eliminate the barriers between the two sides. After all, what everyone cares about is that in the southwest region, except for Wumen and Yanmen, the others are not on the list. This is the core of the problem.
The subtext is that if everyone finishes the meal calmly, they should try to forget the previous unpleasantness, or in other words, pretend to forget.
This is the wishful thinking of the Jiedu government. Beringzhong and his son will not stop, and the Wu family will not give up. They will just adopt other more clever methods. Everyone knows this in their hearts.
But this is the hypocrisy of the world of cultivation. Everyone can accept the step-by-step encroachment of the Dao Sect, but not the Yan Sect's flying swords. This is where the differences between the two sides lie.
Hou Tzu was still very easy-going and called everyone a Taoist brother. When the wine was dry, he seemed to have transformed into a member of the Taoist sect. He was no longer as unreasonable and straightforward as before, which made Bai Qingqian feel strange.
This time she met her sweetheart, and her personal goals were going smoothly, but she always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong...
Zhu Changwen picked up the wine and advised:
"...Sing aloud when you gain and rest when you lose, and you will be sad and resentful for a long time. There is wine today and you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow.
I advise you that you only have a small amount of gains and losses, so why bother yourself? The prospects are vast and the scenery is far-reaching. If you stick to one thing or one place, the pattern will be small.
There is endless wealth in this world; instead of worrying about each other, it is better to climb high and look far ahead.
Come on, come on, after drinking this glass of wine, we are all still friends."
Everyone then raised their glasses together, and an old man from the business circle echoed:
"We who do business put profit first in everything we do. Even if we treat each other as enemies, if you kill me this time, I will still do business with you next time. This is the highest state of business ethics."
Bai Qingqian was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know where Jiedu Mansion found these living ancestors. They worked very hard to reconcile the two sides this time.
For the long-term peace and stability of Mirage City, they had to do this.
Just like the success of the treasure appraisal conference, the atmosphere of the banquet in the Binhai Building was also very harmonious. With the efforts of Jiedu Mansion, at least on the surface, a leg-hair-level collision between two behemoths in the southwest region would draw a picture at the sight of it. The perfect ending.
While raising a glass to drink, through the window on the second floor, a very weak spiritual fluctuation came from far away; in this world of cultivation, fights between monks are everywhere and all the time, which is normal, but the spiritual fluctuations came from afar. The direction we came from was exactly west, the direction of the villa.
The atmosphere was somewhat frozen, and a sense of uneasiness arose in everyone's heart, except for Hou Zi who was still toasting frequently and dropping chopsticks like flying...
No one moved. In Mirage City, the Jiedu Mansion maintained order. Everyone was waiting for news, hoping that it was just the most common conflict that occurred every night around the city.
However, contrary to expectations, a flying letter from Jiedu Mansion came through the window. Zhu Changwen's spiritual consciousness swept away, and his face turned earth-colored immediately, and he fell down on the chair.
"Pirates! The pirates have landed! Less than half an hour after the treasure appraisal meeting ended, the villa was wiped out with blood!"
