BXBX NOVEL Chapter 4014 4012-Tricked
Putting the others aside, Lin Yi could already recognize the beasts from the South Island, the female practitioners from the West Island, and manager Tong and the others. This so-called North Island Auction had gathered all the Masters from the three islands and above, and there might even be Masters from the East Island among the rest.
This wasn\'t the same as what Lin Yi had heard from Hong Zhong-the auction was held once every half a year, and only the factions of the North Island attended. The other islands didn\'t usually get invited, and they never got involved.
But this time, it was obviously different. Even Lin Yi, an outsider, could clearly conclude that Hong Zhong and the Hong Chamber of Commerce behind him had been tricked.
If Lin Yi could see it, Hong Zhong naturally knew it as well. Even an experienced man like him couldn\'t help but have his face darkened.
At this time, a man in white suddenly stood up from the pavilion, his figure gracefully and lightly crossing the lake, appearing in front of Lin Yi and the others, smiling at Hong Zhong,"Manager Hong, how have you been? I\'ve been waiting for you for a long time."
Hong Zhong cupped his hands."Butler song, how have you been? may I ask if there\'s anything different about this auction?"
Hearing this, the man called steward song smiled playfully and said,""Manager Hong, your question is a little biased. Although the auction is held on my northernmost Island, we are just a host providing the venue and sending people to help. Everything is decided by you and never passed through our hands. You should know better than me whether there is any difference."
Hong Zhong gave him a deep look and nodded,""That\'s true. Forgive me for being presumptuous, but when will the auction begin? can you tell me?"
"I know about this. The auction will officially start in three days." Butler song smiled faintly.
"Three days later?" Hong Zhong\'s eyes narrowed, and Lin Yi beside him was surprised as well. In the past, the North Island Auction was always done in a day, and if nothing went wrong, they could return on the same day. This time, it was arranged three days later. It was indeed sneaky.
Butler song raised his head and looked at the crowd in the pavilion in the distance. Then, he looked at Hong Zhong and said with a playful expression,""On account of our many years of friendship, I might as well remind you that this auction is no longer the North Island Auction, but a four-Island Auction exhibition. In the next three days, important people from the other three islands will all be present. Even people from the middle Island will be here. For Chambers of Commerce like you, it will be a rare big scene. You\'d better take care."
With that, Butler song left, leaving Hong Zhong alone in shock and disbelief.
"Shopkeeper Hong, if there\'s anything you need help with, I\'m willing to do my best." Lin Yi said.
From a simple auction on the North Island to a four-Island Auction fair, the style and level had been improved by a large margin. At the same time, Hong Zhong, who had been kept in the dark from the beginning, could be said to have been ruthlessly cheated.
It was no wonder that the other Chamber of Commerce forces all brought a large amount of goods. If it was just an ordinary North Island Auction, it would be impossible to consume all of them. However, the four-Island Auction fair was different. All the forces from the four islands would send people over. This was a rare grand event. No matter how many goods were auctioned, they could sell them all.
For the various Chambers of Commerce, this was not only a chance for them to make a fortune, but also an excellent opportunity to increase their influence. The performance of the four-Island Auction could even affect the ranking of the various Chambers of Commerce in the merchant Union, which was a key factor in the distribution of the cake.
The law of the jungle was a natural law in the business world, especially in the highly competitive business Alliance. The difference between the top and bottom ranks was completely different. With the snowball effect, it was not uncommon for the top rank to swallow the bottom rank.
This time, the other Chamber of Commerce forces came prepared, only Hong Zhong and the Hong Chamber of Commerce knew nothing about it. In addition, they were attacked halfway and lost all their goods. It was obvious that they were jointly targeted by these people. The deliberate planning of these people was obvious.
Even if the Hong Chamber of Commerce had a strong foundation, don\'t forget that the Chamber of Commerce that could deal with it was not weak. If this four-Island Auction fair was disheveled, it might become a Waterloo after the event, and that would be a big hole.
"Thank you for your kindness, young hero Lin. Your thirteen Supreme-grade foundation-breaking pills are already a timely help. As for the other matters, I\'ll think of a way to solve them." Hong Zhong smiled and regained his usual calmness.
Lin Yi\'s thirteen high quality foundation breakthrough pills were added on the last minute before the departure and weren\'t packed with the other goods. It was Hong Zhong\'s personal collection, which was a blessing in disguise.
In addition, even if the two boxes of items were dropped, as long as they reacted in time, there was still a way to replenish them before the auction, so there was no need to worry too much.
With that, Hong Zhong didn\'t go to the pavilion to chat with those so-called old acquaintances and brought Lin Yi to his room. He himself didn\'t stop and immediately used eagle to send letters to the Hong Chamber of Commerce headquarters on the middle Island and the branches on the other islands, explaining the situation he just learned.
Although there was no teleportation array on the northernmost Island, there was one on the northern island. Moreover, the North Island branch and the Hong Chamber of Commerce\'s headquarters had a special way to contact each other quickly. As long as the Eagle sent a letter back to the North Island branch, and the North Island branch sent the message back, they would receive a response within a day.
The Hong Chamber of Commerce didn\'t receive any news about the four-Island Auction fair and didn\'t make any preparations in advance. Fortunately, there were still three days. If they reacted in time, there was still a way to remedy it.
While Hong Zhong was busy trying to make up for the lost sheep, Lin Yi, on the other hand, had nothing to do. He strolled around in the waterside pavilions inside the palace. It was rare for him to come to the northernmost Island, so naturally, he had to take a good look. (To be continued.) "
