Now that the situation has developed to this point, Yi Xiaotian's goals have basically been achieved.
Just look at the expressions on the faces of those present after hearing his words, "As much as you want, you have as much as you want."
What happened today will definitely be spread virally by countless people in the coming days.
The result of this is that Yi Xiaotian can easily establish relationships with the remaining group of people he wants to make friends with and seek cooperation with.
But...
There was one person in the room who was once again hit hard by Yi Xiaotian's generous behavior.
"How is this possible...isn't he a liar? Where did he get the inkstone? A businessman? Are you kidding me?"
"Also...what happened to my benefactor? What on earth is going on?"
Chen Fuan was confused.
In his impression, Yi Xiaotian was just an opportunistic and sneaky liar. He deceived Huang Xiang into his cash cow, which probably gave him an advantage.
But... what Chen Fuan can't understand is, when did this man named Zhantang get involved with Gu Shao?
Just looking at Gu Shao's respectful look now doesn't look like he's pretending.
Could it be...could it be that the Zhang family teamed up with the Gu family to set up this exhibition hall to harm themselves?
This was Chen Fuan's first thought - he had never heard of any benefactors in the Gu family. Gu Shao said that even their father, Gu Yong, wanted to call Yi Xiaotian a benefactor. This is really true.
It's somewhat unacceptable.
On the other side - when it comes to inkstones, Chen Fu'an is an outsider. He usually does some refined salt business, but even so, he has heard that if a good-quality inkstone is found somewhere,
Most of them will be bought by people from aristocratic families at a high price.
One hundred and ten taels of silver?
Is this much more profitable than selling salt?
This is Chen Fuan's only impression of inkstones.
Until next, someone among the excited literati shouted:
"Excellent! It's really excellent! Mr. Zhang! Your piece... doesn't have five hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid I can't buy it at all, right?"
Everyone was holding an inkstone distributed by Yi Xiaotian.
A few of them seemed to be very knowledgeable about things like inkstones. They looked left and right and kept exclaiming. If this was just the case, Chen Fuan would not actually feel too uncomfortable.
But after they expressed their surprise, they also evaluated the inkstone in each person's hand.
This really cost Chen Fuan his life.
Chen Fuan was tied up like this, listening helplessly and desperately to the prices of those inkstones:
"This piece...well! The texture of this piece is very different from the previous one!"
"To be honest, I have never seen an inkstone with such fine texture in my life. It is really eye-opening!"
"This piece is worth three hundred taels of silver at least, isn't it? Mr. Zhuge, this is worth every penny!"
Several people nearby also responded.
Zhuge Jin stood in the field with a happy face. Although he was extremely well-educated, he was usually very quiet and rarely let people see his emotional ups and downs.
But now he is holding a top-grade inkstone worth three hundred taels in his hand - it happened to be a free gift. No matter how calm he is, he can't hide the joy on his face now.
"I'm ashamed. I'm just receiving favor from others. I have to thank cousin Zhan for this..."
While smiling and thanking the congratulations from people around him, he cast a grateful look at Yi Xiaotian in the distance - the same thing happened all the time.
And this same scene was staged differently, and each time it was like a heavy punch to Chen Fuan's face.
"Five hundred taels? Three hundred taels?"
"Hehe...hehehe...I must have heard something wrong, right?"
Chen Fu'an smiled reluctantly, almost self-narcotically, completely ignoring Huang Ming who was looking at him worriedly——
In fact, regardless of Chen Fuan's character, he is actually a very tenacious person.
In such an era, he can rely on his own means to deal with the wealthy families and strive for his own career. A person with such strength will be "successful" wherever he is placed.
The relationship between Gu Shao and Yi Xiaotian had been concealed for a long time. He thought that Zhang was deliberately framing him. This time, he was in trouble——
But as long as he is given time, he will always use various methods to rise again - after all, the ability to make money is not something that can be thrown away casually.
But it’s different now——
After seeing Yi Xiaotian finally reveal the sharp knife hidden behind his back and the fangs hidden under his face, Chen Fuan knew that he was really defeated this time——
The other party is simply hiding their strength... Just imagine, someone who can use such means to give away such a batch of priceless inkstones (treasures) to others, and threatens to have a large inventory, how can he be the kind of opportunistic small businessman?
?
"Zhantang...Zhantang, you...have done so much, it turns out it's all for this moment..."
Suddenly enlightened, Chen Fuan now understood completely.
I... am just a stepping stone for the other party.
With these inkstones, no matter what, the energy of the people present can be spread out in various ways.
Chen Fuan... He and Yi Xiaotian are from two different eras, and there is an insurmountable gap in their basic knowledge.
But as a businessman... Chen Fu'an's many years of experience told him that in business, the most difficult thing is never those who buy and sell, nor those who have a sense of business opportunities - business opportunities are hard to find, and when you encounter or
Unable to encounter it, it has never been something that one person can control.
Only sales, simply put, relationships between people, are priceless.
At this moment, Chen Fuan's mind was a little dizzy.
The repeated blows made it difficult for him to lift his emotions - it was not a shame to be defeated in conspiracy, but this time, he was completely defeated in terms of structure and as a businessman.
The young man in the distance was chatting and laughing.
Chen Fuan's extraordinary self-confidence suffered an unprecedented blow. With his dull eyes, he seemed to have lost the confidence to rise - because he knew that the appearance of this man named Zhantang would definitely easily take over the job he was supposed to have.
Those resources that belong to him.
He has no advantage in front of the exhibition hall.
"To be honest... Shopkeeper Chen, I have warned you a long time ago."
Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in front of him, but...for Chen Fuan, he would rather he had never heard this voice.
Huang Ming screamed and moved from the ground continuously... She was scared. Looking at the smiling man in front of her, she showed an expression of fear for the first time.
Who would have known that a young boy whom he had threatened with force a few days ago had now transformed into a big businessman who could pin his husband to the ground?
But Yi Xiaotian had no intention of paying attention to Huang Ming.
Even Huang Xiang, who was following Yi Xiaotian at this moment, had no intention of saying Huang Ming again...
He has completely given up.
Seeing his own flesh and blood appearing in such an ugly appearance in such a place, Huang Xiang knew that he could no longer change this fact.
"What else do you want to say?"
Chen Fuan suppressed the sadness in his heart and spoke to Yi Xiaotian with force.
