199、I want to be a slave to the fisherman

199, I want to add to the burden of the fisherman

It was the second time that Xiaobai participated in such an auction, but Luo Xi had experienced it many times. When Luo Xi was eight years old, she attended a small auction with her father Luo Shuihan for the first time. She took a fancy to a craft harp with an ivory stand, which was only a magazine and was very exquisite in size, with a base price of 60,000 yuan. She told her father that she wanted to buy it. Luo Shuihan asked her how much money she was willing to pay? Luo Xi said she was willing to pay a price that was twice the price because she liked it very much. Luo Shuihan said it was OK and paid for it.

After the auction began, the harp's quotation continued to rise by more than 100,000 yuan. Luo Xi was anxious and shouted: "It's about to reach 120,000 yuan!" Luo Shuihan smiled and shook his head, "Since the competition has not yet been completed, you shouldn't show your trump card."

Sure enough, another buyer who had been bidding heard Luo Xi's words and the final offer was exactly 120,000 yuan. Luo Xi still wanted to raise the sign, but Luo Shuihan stopped her. After returning home, Luo Shuihan said to her daughter: "Although you didn't get the harp today, you should learn something more valuable. It's not that we can't afford it. But that thing already has a value bottom line for you. If you exceed that bottom line and then raise the sign, you are not enjoying the joy of life but becoming a slave of desire. Many people's failure is that they don't know where the bottom line of their desires and reality lies, or they know that they have to become slaves of desires. No matter how much money they have, they will not really feel satisfied and happy."

Luo Xi received such education since childhood, but Xin Weiping did not have such an opportunity, and Xiaobai did not have such an opportunity. After Xin Weiping became Huang Yasu, he did not have such a spontaneous enlightenment, but Bai Shaoliu could understand it.

Huang Yasu didn't want to buy the Eight Treasure Box at first, but when he saw Luo Xi holding up the sign many times, he was driven by an inexplicable unfair mentality to fight. Luo Xi stopped raising the sign, Huang Yasu was still raising the sign. After the bid exceeded one million, his face tightened, but he had to give up until the bid exceeded two million. It can be seen that Huang Yasu's final bid price had exceeded the value bottom line he recognized. When he gave up, he did not feel relaxed and sober, but instead felt a kind of dissatisfaction with hurt. However, on this occasion, no one hurt him.

In the eyes of great experts like Feng Junzi and Zhang Rongdao who are proficient in the art of being accustomed to others, he has long seen his confidence. So Feng Junzi asked Huang Yasu what he said, but Zhang Rongdao had a low evaluation. When Feng Junzi asked Bai Shaoliu, Zhang Rongdao shook his head: "It's hard to say, I didn't see through it."

What is this evaluation? However, Feng Junzi smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of him? You can see clearly even if you dare not say it at a glance?"

Zhang Rong said: "You know how to make choices, advance and retreat, and know what others want and know what you do. Although it is a trivial matter, it can be seen that this young man is also a material that can be made... You have been in Wuyou for many years, and you should know these people very well, so why don't you tell me directly in this circle?"

Feng Junzi joked: "I learned my physiognomy from you. Aren't you more accurate in your own eyes? Besides, you want to do business with Heluo Group. If you make a profit, it's okay. What if you lose money after hearing my opinion? It's better to see the people clearly by yourself."

Someone next to him came over and whispered: "Mr. Feng, I have been waiting for you for a long time. What are you going to buy today? Do you tell me?"

Feng Junzi pointed to the stage and said, "Mr. Hu, you came just right. The auction items are the best for you. If you put that pair of treasures at home, you really need to have an identity and taste it!... Don't worry, raise your sign later. You must have a demeanor when buying such things. If you don't have to do it, don't buy and sell squids like a big vegetable market."

The auctions on the stage are also wooden tools, 500 years ago, and the one-to-one-person-high rosewood Duobaoge. The owner of the largest seafood market in Wuyou and the largest seafood wholesaler in Wuyou. Wuyou is a coastal city and is very famous for seafood. Boss Hu is also a tycoon of Wuyou. Although he is rich, he has never read any books. He thought of buying a few items at this auction and going back to decorate the storefront, but he didn't know what to buy.

Boss Hu knew Feng Junzi very early. At that time, he was a fish vendor selling in the seafood market. He knew Zhang Rongdao because of business. Zhang Rongdao also pointed to the stage and said, "Xiao Hu, as the saying goes, 'The garden is beautiful without any stones, and the room is indecent and indecent', which is about this kind of treasure. This object is elegant in the room, and the focus is on the finishing touch. It cannot be used as an empty shelf. No matter how you place it or place it, you must express the meaning, so that others will truly value you."

Boss Hu nodded and thanked him, and went to bid with the sign excitedly. At this time, Xiaobai and Luo Xi came over and said in a low voice: "Mr. Feng, are you here too? This is Mr. Zhang Rongdao from Wucheng?... This is Miss Luo Xi, my name is Bai Shaoliu, and I am also from Wucheng."

Zhang Rong said: "I am Zhang Rongdao. My ancestors are from Longhu Mountain and have lived in Wucheng for 500 years. We are also fellow villagers... Miss Luo, I didn't expect us to meet here."

Luo Xi greeted him politely: "Hello Uncle Zhang, I often listen to my father mentioning you!... Why did you ask Boss Hu to buy Duobaoge just now?" It turned out that Luo Xi also knew Boss Hu, and felt that Mr. Zhang and Feng Junzi were a bit funny to guide him to the things he bought.

Feng Junzi smiled: "It's not suitable for long talks here, so I'll talk slowly at the table later."

After the auction, several people walked out of the exhibition center. Li Zhidong, president of Heluo Group, was waiting at the gate and saw them coming from afar and said, "Mr. Zhang, Miss Luo, it turns out that you have met. All the people who are coming at noon today came to this auction."

Li Zhidong is currently the president of Heluo Group and is an old friend who has been following Luo Shuihan for many years. Luo Shuihan entrusts Shi behind him to Li Zhidong, Luo Bing, Gu Ying and Bai Shaoliu, one of whom. Xiaobai asked: "Mr. Li, who else is there at noon today?"

Li Zhidong: "The host is also Huang Yasu, and the guests are Ms. Eva Kendy of the Tulip Principality."

Bai Shaoliu: "And Eva?"

Li Zhidong: "It was commissioned by Miss Avtina Wiener and came on behalf of the Wiener Family Foundation... Look, they have come out."

The Wiener Family Foundation? It seems that the business to be discussed is related to the Wiener family. Why didn’t Avtana entrust Adilo but Eva? In fact, Xiaobai didn’t know that although Adilo was the heir to the Wiener family, he was not good at financial management and was not willing to worry about these things. He only received a generous amount of money from the family’s trust fund every year. The Wealth of the Wiener family is in the hands of Avtana, and it has increased a lot in recent years. Avtana is the richest person in the Wiener family and one of the largest consortium controllers in the Tulip Principality.

When Li Zhidong introduced him to everyone, Huang Yasu realized that the two people who had been bidding with him just now were guests of Heluo Group, especially Eva surprised him. Unexpectedly, the one who represented the Wiener Foundation was such a charming and sexy lady. Eva's face and figure were the kind that most men said to have a fever in their lower abdomen at a glance. Although he has been playing with many women recently, he does not have such a top beauty.

Huang Yasu felt itchy and had a very attentive attitude. He stretched out his hand to Eva and said, "I am very honored to know you. Mrs. Kendy is the most attractive lady I have ever met. I was so embarrassed just now. If I had known you would also like the Eight Treasure Delicacy Box, I should have bought it and given it to you."

Eva reached out and held it gently. Huang Yasu really wanted to kiss this tender little hand according to Western etiquette, but Eva had already put her hands back and said politely and plainly: "Thank you for your praise. That thing was bought by a friend, not that I wanted."

Huang Yasu: "It's really surprising that Mrs. Kendy's Zhiwei is so fluent in Mandarin. You must be a friend of Zhixu."

Eva: "My husband worked in Uyu and was killed here because of his aspirations and needs Mandarin."

Huang Yasu said in shock and embarrassment: "So that's the case, it's really a pity!" But he swallowed the following words because he saw Wu Tong staring at him like a wolf, and he couldn't help but take a step back and stand closer to Tingfeng and Guanfeng.

Although "big business" is usually signed at the formal negotiating table, Zhixu people are more accustomed to discussing business at the table. Regardless of whether the deal can be negotiated, favors and entertainment are inevitable. Moreover, Zhang Rongdao just arrived in Wucheng today, and Luo Xi met him on behalf of Luo Shuihan, so etiquette must not be avoided.

Li Zhidong booked the top-floor seaside restaurant with the highest construction and the highest price in Wuyou Beach Hotel. There was only one table of guests in the conference room. What they wanted was this specification. As for what dishes to eat, it was no longer important. When he took the seat, he gave in to who was sitting in the main seat. Luo Xi refused to let Li Zhidong. Although Li Zhidong was the nominal host, he did not treat Mr. Zhang as a simple guest. Zhang Rongdao sat in the main seat. Zhang Rongdao did not sit but let Eva. In the end, Feng Junzi sat in the main seat. Feng Junzi smiled and said, "So many wealthy people, can you still want me to pay the bill?" He sat down calmly without refusing.

Huang Yasu watched everyone give up their seats, letting them go and leave, but no one let him go. In fact, he wanted to sit in that position the most, but he also understood that he was not qualified yet. But he didn't expect that in the end, everyone let Feng Junzi sit, and Feng Junzi actually sat down with a smile - what is he?

Huang Yasu felt a little uneasy. He had a kind heart just now, but the beauty Eva was not paying any attention. He thought that when he saw Gu Ying in Luoyuan, he was so attentive that Gu Ying was so attentive that Gu Ying was so cold that he didn't even hold his hand. Huang Yasu thought secretly in his heart: "Wait, one day, I will let you all revolve around me and let you know who I am!" Although he did not reveal this on the surface, Xiaobai opposite him clearly had his thoughts, and he felt a little disgusted and funny.

Listening to Feng and Guan Feng, they also greeted the last seat at the banquet. Huang Yasu introduced that these two were his assistants, which made Xiaobai a little wary. It seemed that the two disciples of the Changbai Sword Sect were no longer Huang Yasu's bodyguards, otherwise they should have stood at the door. When he was a bodyguard for Luo Xi, he would not attend the banquet on such occasions. Could it be that Huang Yasu's relationship with the Changbai Sword Sect has changed, or has joined the Changbai Sword Sect? - This is not impossible.

The table was not very enthusiastic, and everyone kept asking the dishes to toast. Luo Xi did not drink, and Xiaobai worked on it. However, Feng Junzi and Zhang Rongdaolian drank a lot of glasses. After a few glasses of wine, they talked too much. Luo Xi took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Zhang, Mr. Feng, you two haven't told me yet, why are you instructing Boss Hu to buy Duobaoge?"

Feng Junzi asked back: "Why can't Boss Hu buy Duobaoge?"

Huang Yasu said: "I also saw that Boss Hu, who sells fish, bought a pair of Duobaoges with a large sum of money. He didn't recognize a few big words but wanted to be a good person. He said that he was a nouveau riche and had no culture. There were many such people. After he had money, he wanted to serve as a store owner. Unfortunately, no matter how he did, he was still an uneducated nouveau riche."

Feng Junzi looked at Huang Yasu: "How can you say that Boss Hu doesn't know a few big words? I know him, but he has not received higher education, but at least he has finished high school. You are too mean."

Huang Yasu: "It's a bit too much to say that he is illiterate, but he is indeed an uneducated nouveau riche."

Feng Junzi looked at the wine glass and nodded: "Yes, he does not study much, and his ancestors have no money. You must say that, but there is nothing you can do."

Luo Xi asked, "I won't say bad things about others. Mr. Feng hasn't answered my question yet!"

Feng Junzi looked up and said to Luo Xi: "As the saying goes, three generations will become nobles, so what about the first generation? What kind of first generation can benefit the descendants and become a long-standing family? Luo Xi, don't forget that your grandfather Luoyang Gong was also an ordinary soldier."

Luo Xiruo had some understanding and kept silent, Huang Yasu said: "Contemporary Zhixu, how can there be any real aristocratic family!"

Feng Junzi's face darkened, his face surged with anger. Xiaobai quickly said, "Huang Yasu, you will be punished for drinking when you say this. The Zhang family in Wucheng is a famous family for five hundred years. It has been passed down until Mr. Zhang Rongdao's generation. We all know about it."

Huang Yasu was startled and stood up to toast Mr. Zhang to apologize. Zhang Rongdao was not angry and had a drink with him. In fact, what Huang Yasu said was somewhat true. In modern times, Zhixu passed through the plowing court, and almost all spiritual inheritance had been intentionally smashed by internal and external worms. The new civilization system was not established at all. It was easy to restore material production, but the extreme emptiness of the spiritual world was difficult to bridge. Although Huang Yasu received higher education, he was only a generation with knowledge but no culture. Knowledge and culture are two concepts. There are too few situations like Zhang's family in Wucheng.

Feng Junzi's face cleared a little and asked Huang Yasu: "You look at the things on this table, the essence of the seafood delicacies. Twenty years ago, there were a few dishes that ordinary people could not see at all. They had money and had no place to buy them. Ten years ago, they could buy them, but the price was so high that it was surprising. But today, they were just a more expensive dish. Do you know what was going on?"

Huang Yasu: "The economy has developed, the market has opened, and the output has increased."

Feng Junzi: "I said it well, but you can only say so much. Let me tell you that these are all Wuyou specialties. Although the output has increased, it has been very limited in ten years.... Do you want to know what happened? I said it was because of Boss Hu, and you probably won't believe it! You only know that Boss Hu started his business by selling seafood, but do you know how he started his business? Let Mr. Zhang tell you..."

The several types of marine products that Feng Junzi mentioned are specialties of Wuyou, but residents of the AV Islands like to eat very much. In the era of exclusive supply, all of them were purchased and exported to the AV Islands by the government, so Wuyou citizens could not eat them. Later, Zhixu's economy reformed and the market was opened to the inside and outside. Due to historical reasons, the purchase and sales of these seafood were controlled by the Wuyou branch of AV Islands Baosi Co., Ltd., and the prices in the international market were extremely high, while the purchase prices obtained by Wuyou fishermen were extremely low.

It is not that Wuyou fishermen are willing to sell at a low price, but that scattered fishing villages cannot compete with large companies that monopolize the international market. At this time, some smart little vendors took a fancy to the opportunity and directly purchased such seafood from the fishing village to the local market in Wuyou. However, the small-scale climate cannot solve the real problem, and Hu Boss Hu Yang is one of them.

Hu Yang is different from other fishmongers and is very serious in his work. He spent three years visiting all the fishing villages that produce these seafood products and met almost all the fishermen. Then he joined forces with other vendors in the seafood market to conduct group procurement and wholesale sales in the local market. At that time, Hu Yang had no idea of ​​establishing a group company, but just led the fishmongers to earn the difference in this market together.

Hu Yang and others' business grew bigger, and the supply of the AV Islands Baosi Co., Ltd. began to decrease. Finally, this potential threat was discovered, so they took a measure. Baosi Co., Ltd. signed a long-term exclusive supply agreement with major fishing villages, promising to purchase all products, but the fishing villages were not allowed to sell seafood to others. If the fishing village sells seafood to Uyu fishmongers, it will be removed from the purchase list. In this way, many fishing villages had to consider exclusive supply because Hu Yang and others could not meet the sales of all products at that time.
