Chapter 4830: Morning Star Auction
Translator: 549690339
Lin Yi walked to the first floor without making a sound. There was already a huge crowd gathered there, with honest Chai and a few middle-aged men in business attire standing in the center.
“Shopkeeper Chai, today is the day of the auction. I heard that your Hong Chamber of Commerce has prepared quite a few good things. Can you take them out for us old friends to have a look?” One of the middle-aged men who was the leader said with a faint smile.
“Manager Tong, it is a rule in the morning Star Auction to not reveal the information of the items before the end of the auction. However, it seems that the items that you rich and powerful families know about have caused quite a stir recently?” Honest Chai replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
“Haha, all the wealthy families know how to handle matters, unlike your Hong Chamber of Commerce who hides things. As the saying goes, nothing can be said to others. Since it is something that is destined to be put up for auction, what’s wrong with letting everyone know a few days in advance? At least you’ll be mentally prepared, and this is with the consent of the Morning Star Academy, so it’s useless even if you want to complain. ” Manager Tong said with a proud smile.
“That’s right. Have you forgotten, shopkeeper Chai? in order to warm up the auction this time, every Chamber of Commerce can reveal one or two items in advance. Of course, the premise is that they can only bring out good items. However, we don’t seem to have heard of any news from the Hong Chamber of Commerce?” Another middle-aged man in a shopkeeper’s attire said with ill intentions.
“Shopkeeper Jin, he’s different from us. He has to hide all his good stuff. He’s the only supplier to the Morning Star Academy, so he has to do things with style.” Manager Tong squeezed.
“Hehe, manager Tong’s words are too much. I don’t think there’s anything good that can be taken out, right? I think the only supplier of the Morning Star Academy will fall into the hands of the wealthy class Union after today. After all, a set of ten golden cores is a huge sum. You have to take good care of my golden universe Chamber of Commerce in the future. ” Shopkeeper Jin chimed in.
“Sure, sure, but we’ll have to ask shopkeeper Chai first. He’s the grand finale of the auction, what if he’s hiding something big? Shopkeeper Chai, why don’t you reveal it?” Manager Tong glanced at honest Chai from the corner of his eyes.
“Manager Tong, manager Jin, did you come here just for this matter?” Honest Chai looked at the two with a half-smile on his face. He was really worried before Lin Yi came, but now, ten golden cores in a group? That’s nothing!
“I guess so.” Manager Tong and manager Jin looked at each other and smiled. In fact, they had already investigated the details of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. This time, the Hong Chamber of Commerce had been forced to the edge of the cliff. There was absolutely no chance of turning things around unless the sun rose from the West.
“Then I’m really sorry. It’s always our Hong Chamber of Commerce’s principle not to reveal our wealth. Regardless of whether it’s an explicit rule of the auction, as long as it’s an auction item provided by our Hong Chamber of Commerce, we will never take the initiative to leak any information before the official auction to avoid any loss of fairness. So if the two of you are really curious, why don’t you wait a while more? the auction is about to begin anyway.” Honest Chai said indifferently.
“What a good ‘unfair’. It’s really admirable. Shopkeeper Chai is clearly trying to whet everyone’s appetite!” Manager Tong said in a neutral tone as he curled his lips.
“It doesn’t matter if we keep them in suspense. They’re the finale Chamber of Commerce anyway, so they have to put on airs. I’m just afraid that they won’t be able to take out anything decent in the end. At that time, I don’t think there’s a need for the Hong Chamber of Commerce to hang around here and lose face. Quickly close it down, this way we can still retain some of the face of the large Chamber of Commerce. What do you think, shopkeeper Chai?” Shopkeeper Jin mocked without restraint.
“Hehe, shopkeeper Jin, you must be joking. The Hong Chamber of Commerce has never closed any branches so far, so naturally, we won’t set a precedent for this. However, Your Excellency’s golden universe Chamber of Commerce doesn’t seem to be in a very good situation. Five branches have been destroyed in a row recently. I wonder how long you can hold on?” Honest Chai looked at him and said.
“You!” Shopkeeper Jin was immediately rendered speechless. Golden universe Chamber of Commerce was not a big Chamber of Commerce. It could not be compared with a top Chamber of Commerce like the Hong Chamber of Commerce at all. Recently, five branches had been closed down because of poor management. This was already a serious blow to their bones. If this continued, the entire Chamber of Commerce might collapse.
In desperation, the Golden universe Chamber of Commerce finally decided to fully join the wealthy metropolises in order to tide over the crisis. It was for this reason that shopkeeper Jin desperately flattered shopkeeper Jin, because the latter might be his immediate superior in the future.
“Ha-ha, shopkeeper Chai, it seems that you’re new to this place and don’t know much about the news. With such a strong support from our wealthy class, it won’t be easy for the Golden universe Chamber of Commerce to get what they want. You should worry about yourself.” Shopkeeper Tong shot a contemptuous glance at honest Chai and immediately left with shopkeeper Jin.
“Take care.” Honest Chai waved his hand calmly, still remaining unmoved, causing the surrounding people to look at him in a new light.
Lin Yi nodded slightly at this scene. Honest Chai didn’t have much of an aura to speak of, and always gave people the feeling that he was weak and easy to bully, but from his neither humble nor pushy performance just now, this guy could still be put on the stage.
Of course, this was all thanks to Lin Yi-if it weren’t for the tier 7 pills he’d made these past few days, honest Chai wouldn’t be able to face manager Tong and the others with confidence.
“You’ve come out!” Seeing Lin Yi, honest Chai quickly came up to him with respect, and the surrounding people couldn’t help but look at him. Who was this young man? Shopkeeper Chai was neither humble nor haughty just now, so why did he immediately become a Lackey the moment he saw him?
“The auction is about to begin, right?” Lin Yi asked.
“That’s right. Old cui has already sent the items over. Why don’t we go over now?” Honest Chai asked.
“Alright,” he said. Lin Yi nodded, and the two of them set off for the auction. Although the auction was organized by the school, it wasn’t held inside the school. It was in a building in the city, called the first tower of the Morning Star City.
Lin Yi raised his head at the entrance and exclaimed,”This building is really big.”
It was called Morning Star Tower one, but its height wasn’t that exaggerated. It wasn’t like the world-class skyscrapers that were hundreds of meters tall in the common world, and this building was only a bit higher than the other buildings around it. However, this building took up a lot of space, surrounded by a five-foot-high wall. Lin Yi felt like he was in a bullring! (To be continued.) ”
