Chapter 331 The key to business warfare
...
In fact, even if there is no "Medical King Ding", Ou Chuyang will resolutely decide to help Qiu Na, and he promised to do a set of advanced and above skills for Tong Liang. Without Qiu Na, it would be a huge difficulty. Moreover, Ou Chuyang's main theme is not this. The reason why he met Qiu Na this time was that Ou Chuyang had a deeper meaning, but the meaning was not yet clear.
"Okay. I'll give it a try." Although I agreed firmly, Ou Chuyang did not show it on his face. He knew that everything was unexpected, and he had to leave a way out for himself in everything he did.
When Ju Na heard Ou Chuyang agree, she was ecstatic. Now she wished she could hold Ou Chuyang and kiss her. If Ou Chuyang successfully refined it, things might have a turnaround. Although she had little chance of winning, it was worth her fight against the hell-like torture after returning to the family due to failure.
"No matter if you win this time, Xiaoran, you have helped Aunt Na this time. Aunt Na will never forget your kindness. If nothing happens, Xiaoran should make it quickly." Qiu Na urged Ou Chuyang gratefully.
Putting the "Medical King Cauldron" on the table, Ou Chuyang smiled faintly, and the expression of Gujing Wubo reappeared on his face. Cong Rong said: "No, according to Ou Chuyang's understanding, Aunt Na's affairs may not be that simple. Aunt Na told Ou Chuyang truthfully, maybe our chances of winning will be greater."
"Hmm?" Hearing Ou Chuyang say this, Qiu Na immediately felt something in his words. Looking at the former's confident look, subconsciously, Qiu Na actually felt that Ou Chuyang would be the key to this business war. Subconsciously, Qiu Na nodded and said slowly: "Okay, I'll tell you."
Marin Auction House, in the Council Room.
Although the lights in the hall are particularly bright, the atmosphere that gradually becomes heavy inside makes people feel uncomfortable as if they are covered with a layer of black fog.
Ou Chuyang and Tong Liang sat on the wide parliamentary chair, quietly looking at Qiu Na, whose face gradually became dim.
Qiu Na sorted out her mind and said slowly: "A month ago, a mysterious strong man came to the auction house and found me, saying that he had a volume of secret techniques entrusted us to auction. The person responsible for receiving this person was Lao Ma and I. This person was very mysterious. He never said a word of nonsense when communicating. He just handed us a volume of precious secret techniques and asked us to be responsible for the auction, and the deadline was within three days."
"Secret Art?" Ou Chuyang asked.
"Well." Qiu Na nodded and said, "A very precious secret technique, this secret technique is called "Burning Blood", which is a legendary secret technique."
"Legendary?" Ou Chuyang took a breath and turned his eyes to Tong Liang, who also had an incredible look on his face.
Ou Chuyang said: "A legendary secret technique is also sold?"
"I was also very surprised, but this mysterious man did not explain the reason. After doing business in the auction house for so many years, although I have seen countless precious martial arts and secret techniques, it is the second time at the legendary level. At that time, when I received such a big business, I had to let Mr. Ma and I carefully identify it. After testing, this volume of "blood burning" is indeed legendary level." Qiu Na said slowly.
Speaking of this, Ou Chuyang couldn't help but make a conclusion: he could sell legendary secret techniques for sale. It seems that the origin of this secret technique is not very bright, and he set the auction time to three days. It is not difficult to imagine that this mysterious man should be very anxious.
After thinking about it, Ou Chuyang said, "Three days, it's so urgent, it doesn't seem to be sold for much, right?" Ou Chuyang has some understanding of the auction industry, especially high-end treasures, which must be advertised to get huge profits.
Qiu Na nodded and said, "Well, usually, when we get a treasure for auction, we spend several days doing publicity. We need to release the news and not reveal too much. This can adjust the taste of the buyer. As time goes by, the more people you know, the price of the treasure will naturally rise. But three days are really short for us, and we cannot hold an auction because of a treasure. So at that time, I discussed with Mr. Ma and this mysterious man and wanted to extend the auction time, but the mysterious man simply disagrees. And he also said that if the auction is not conducted in three days, he will retrieve the secret technique and hand it over to another auction house for processing."
"Other?" Ou Chuyang asked in confusion: "Isn't you the only auction house in Qipan Town?"
Qiu Na smiled bitterly and said, "That was before. More than a month ago, the Yunsheng Auction House established by the Yunsheng Chamber of Commerce officially opened in Qipan Town. We don't know how they obtained the empire's authorization. Anyway, things happened very suddenly. However, even so, Mr. Ma and I didn't care, because our auction house has a long history and after a long period of operation, both of our connections, relationships, reputation and the source of goods are much more stable than Yunsheng."
After pausing, Qiuna turned to the topic: "Three days are a bit short, but with the strength of our Marin Auction House, it is not impossible. So I asked Mr. Ma to collect some treasures and prepare to auction together in three days. On the other hand, I made a lot of publicity. Things were going well. In less than two days, almost the entire Qipan Town knew that Marin Auction House had a precious secret technique to be auctioned, but just one day before the auction, the family brought news from the imperial capital, saying that for some reason, people needed to be transferred from all over the place. Without asking in detail, the few good players around me were all transferred back to the imperial capital."
Speaking of this, Qiuna sighed and said, "The next morning, just as Mr. Ma and I were preparing for the auction, we suddenly discovered that the secret technique "Burning Blood" was stolen."
"Hmm? It doesn't seem like this coincidence, right?" Ou Chuyang asked with a frown.
Qiuna shook her head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Not only that, just as we learned that the secret technique was stolen, several people who commissioned us to auction items came to the door at the same time, claiming that the treasures of Marin Auction House were not good, and the treasures were lost. They no longer wanted to hand over their belongings to the Marin Auction House for auction, so they took back all the treasures stored in me. Moreover, we have notified many celebrities to come to bid. Without these things, what are we going to auction? In desperation, Mr. Ma and I could only close the auction house on the grounds that the auction house was stolen."
Speaking of this, Qiuna's voice became choked, and a rosy touch immediately caught her eyes.
"mean!"
"Shameless!"
Ou Chuyang and Tong Liang cursed angrily at the same time. At this point, even a fool could hear that this matter was clearly someone making a fool in secret, otherwise how could it be so coincidental?
First, the strong man who protected the treasure was transferred away, and then the treasure was mysteriously lost. Then, almost at the same time, the client of the treasure came to the auction to take away the entrusted items. All of this was obviously a chain of events. Even the huge Marin Chamber of Commerce would die without a burial place. This plan could be called sinister.
Looking at Qiu Na, who was crying, Ou Chuyang asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't you refuse the entrustment of that mysterious man? If you hadn't been greedy for this instant benefits, you wouldn't be like this now."
"You don't understand this. Accepting this commission is not for the sake of interests, but for reputation. The Marin Chamber of Commerce has existed since the establishment of the Feiyun Empire. It has experienced so many hardships to reach such a situation. Even so, the auction house has only auctioned a legendary martial art within hundreds of years. This level of auction brings not only benefits to the Marin Chamber of Commerce, but more of a manifestation of reputation and strength. If I refused his commission at that time and asked him to take the auction from Yunsheng, it would undoubtedly establish a strong enemy to the Marin Chamber of Commerce. This would not only cause the Family Presbyterian Church to remove me from the position of the head of Qipan Town, but also damage the interests of the family. This is something I don't want to see." Qiu Na replied.
After re-sorting Qiu Na's narrative, Ou Chuyang felt that things were even more complicated. Maybe this mysterious man who commissioned the secret technique of auction was also a key link. This was a completely dead chess step formulated for Qiu Na.
First, if Qiu Na accepted the entrustment of the mysterious man, the matter would develop according to the current situation, Marin Auction House would definitely be responsible to the client, and at least compensate for a considerable penalty for liquidated damages. In this way, her family would definitely not forgive Qiu Na's dereliction of duty this time, and would definitely transfer her back to the imperial capital and deprive her of the head. In this way, Qiu Na would probably be unable to turn over.
Second, if Qiu Na does not accept this commission, it is equivalent to sending the secret technique to Yunsheng Auction House himself for processing. In this way, Yunsheng Auction House’s signboard may start instantly. In the long run, it will inevitably form a confrontation with Marin Auction House. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and no one will forgive such acts that damage one’s own interests. If the senior management of the Marin Chamber of Commerce learns, Qiu Na’s status will still be unsecured.
Therefore, whether Qiu Na meets or not, the ending is already destined. After such analysis, it seems that this plan has been planned for a long time, and the comprehensiveness of this plan is simply shocking.
It seems that things will be much more repeated than I imagined. There must be someone behind this matter, and this person's scheming is so heartbreaking.
Looking at Ou Chuyang in contemplation, Qiu Na continued: "The matter is not over yet. Just after the client took the treasure away, the mysterious man also arrived soon. As soon as the mysterious man came in, he mentioned the disappearance of the secret technique and tried his best to see if his secret technique was lost as the rumors. The fact is the fact. There is no way. We can only admit that we are not good at protecting the secret technique, which leads to the secret technique being lost. The mysterious man was very angry when he heard it and strongly asked us to compensate. In desperation, we could only give the compensation to the mysterious man five times the estimated price of the secret technique."
Speaking of this, Qiu Na was almost furious and said, "You know, the estimated price of the legendary secret technique is 50,000 crystal coins, and the total 250,000 crystal coins were gone in vain."
"Twenty-five thousand?" Tong Liang screamed in shock. It was obvious that this number shocked him incomparably. You should know that the 250,000 crystal coins were 25 million gold coins, with a sky-high price, and an absolute sky-high price.
Although Ou Chuyang, who was standing by, had already guessed that Qiu Na would suffer a great loss, even he did not expect that the legendary secret technique was so expensive that it was sold at a price of tens of thousands. You know, this number is enough to be exchanged for several advanced martial arts.
Although the numbers Qiu Na said surprised Ou Chuyang slightly, he was fine, not as surprised as Tong Liang, because he knew that the purpose of this mysterious man must be more than this.
Ou Chuyang looked at Qiu Na calmly and said lightly: "If I guessed correctly, this is not what the other party wants. I'm afraid something will happen further."
Hearing Ou Chuyang's words, Tong Liang, who had never spoken, turned his gaze to Ou Chuyang and asked, "Isn't this the other party's purpose?"
Without answering Tong Liang's words, Ou Chuyang just looked at Qiu Na and waited for her to continue speaking.
The beautiful eyes glanced at Ou Chuyang's calm face. At this moment, he realized that when he was trading with Liu Changfeng, Ou Chu** had not shown all his abilities. Now when he saw Ou Chuyang's sharp gaze that had seen everything, Qiu Na didn't believe it at all. He was just a child in his early teens.
Qiu Na, who had been full of sorrow, suddenly laughed and exclaimed: "It seems that I underestimated you. I really can't believe that you will have such terrifying wisdom. You are right. Next, it will be the fatal blow to Marin Auction House."
"In addition to auction houses in Qipan Town, the largest profitable industry is the elixir market, which is different from the elixirs sold by Dantang. As we all know, the elixirs sold by Dantang are periodic and quantitative restrictions, and we can say that there will be unlimited supply of low-level medicines. Of course, this requires the buyer to have a certain ability."
In the hall, only Jona's words floated.
"The compensation of 250,000 is also a considerable amount for us. In order not to discredit the reputation of Marin Auction House, I promptly transferred all the power of Qipan Town, and even used the "Return Pill" as our main selling pills. It was sold at a low price through various channels, and borrowed a sum of money from other places, so I collected the funds. However, just when we were busy with money, the Yunsheng Chamber of Commerce suddenly issued a news of selling "Return Pills". At this time, Mr. Ma and I realized that it was all Yunsheng's trap set by the Marin Chamber of Commerce in the Chespan Town elixir market."
After a lot of clarity, Qiu Na finally finished the whole story, and Ou Chuyang and Tong Liang finally found the source.
The hall was silent like death. Ou Chuyang and the other two sat quietly in the hall, without saying a word for a long time. After a while, Qiu Na sighed: "Now, the funds of the Marin Chamber of Commerce in Qipan Town are already deficient and cannot buy other pills in time to grab the market. In addition, the family has also transferred the only two second-level alchemists back to the imperial capital."
As he said that, Qiu Na suddenly grabbed Ou Chuyang's hands and begged: "Xiaoran, you are Aunt Na's only hope now. If you can refine four hundred "Juyuan Dan" within seven days, if we sell it, we will also grab some of the market, and the branch of the Marin Chamber of Commerce in Qipan Town will not be destroyed."
