"Haha, Mr. Jiang is right. As long as we each take care of our own territory and don't interfere with each other, it will indeed be a blessing for the people of both provinces." The head of the Feng family is worthy of being the famous smiling tiger of Tianbei. He was ignored by Jiang Fan in this way, but he could still swallow his pride and not get angry at all.
This shameless demeanor really made Jiang Fan look at him with a higher regard.
"Haha, young people are young people. They are so arrogant when they achieve success at a young age! The Feng family is the most powerful family in Tianbei after all. We took the initiative to show our friendship to him, but he is so indifferent. Is he taking advantage of us because we have no one in Tianbei?!"
"That's right. I don't know what kind of luck he has that he can become the master of Tiannan! He is far worse than the previous Zhao family. He has no magnanimity at all. It seems that the people of Tiannan will suffer!" When people in Tianbei Province saw Jiang Fan's attitude, they immediately became dissatisfied.
After all, wealthy families have always been known to flatter each other and give each other enough face. Even if they are fighting fiercely in private, they have to maintain harmony on the surface.
Unlike Jiang Fan, who doesn't give any face from the start, he is really a country bumpkin!
"How dare you talk like that? What qualifications does the Feng family have to compare with Mr. Jiang? The Feng family is only on the same level as the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was wiped out by Mr. Jiang! Mr. Jiang's attitude is already giving face to you, the Tianbei Province. Don't be so shameless!"
"That's right! Your Tianbei Province is already poorer than our Tiannan Province, and you don't know why you are so arrogant! If we were you, we would have kept our tails between our legs!" Upon hearing this, everyone in Tiannan Province immediately retorted.
For a while, the two groups were arguing constantly, and the situation was getting more and more intense, and it seemed that the quarrel was about to turn into a fight!
"Mr. Ma Boyong is here!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came, and everyone fell silent in an instant.
Because, the visitor was none other than the Ma family, a prominent family in Beijing, and also the host of the auctions in these two provinces!
Ma Boyong was wearing a Tang suit, a pair of frog-shaped glasses, and holding a paper fan, looking quite elegant.
"Hello, Mr. Ma!" Everyone bowed their heads respectfully and shouted.
"Okay, everyone, please take a seat. We are here to make money in harmony, so don't quarrel." Ma Boyong said to everyone with a smile, and nodded slightly at Jiang Fan. He must have known Jiang Fan's status in Tiannan.
Afterwards, Ma Boyong added a bit of seriousness: "Everyone who comes is a guest. You are all guests of my Ma family. I don't want to see any of my flesh being bullied. So, everyone should give my Ma family some face and don't cause trouble. If anyone causes trouble again, it will be a lack of respect for my Ma family. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Everything is up to Mr. Ma!" Everyone immediately answered in unison and honestly. In front of the aristocratic family, no matter whether it was a wealthy family or a noble family, they all became docile sheep.
No matter how advanced the technology is, human society is still a jungle society at heart, where big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps!
"Let's get back to the topic. You are all lucky this time. My Ma family has obtained a batch of good things. Please take a look!" Ma Boyong said, clapping his hands.
The next second, a row of beautiful women wearing high-slit cheongsams that revealed their snow-white thighs came forward, holding pieces of golden stones.
There seemed to be something inside these rocks, insects and grass, leaving everyone bewildered.
"Mr. Ma, what is this?" everyone couldn't help but ask.
"Amber stone!" Ma Boyong explained.
But everyone was still confused. They knew about amber stones. The fossils formed by the resin of coniferous plants were very old, and some could even be traced back to hundreds of millions of years ago.
Although the price is indeed precious, it is common for wealthy families like them. I don’t know why the Ma family said it was a good thing?!
Seeing everyone like this, Ma Boyong immediately explained with a smile: "Haha, everyone who gambles on jadeite should know that jadeite is covered with a thick layer of stone skin. No instrument can detect whether there is jadeite inside. You can only judge it through experience and luck. But this experience is not necessarily accurate. In the final analysis, it still depends on luck!"
"That's why they say one cut into heaven, one cut into hell. And this time, our amber game is similar! It's also gambling on stones, gambling on amber!"
"Mr. Ma, there is jade inside this jade stone, so we can gamble on it. But what is inside this amber stone? You can't bet on the insects and weeds inside it, right?" Everyone was still confused.
"That's right! It's a bet on insects and weeds!" Ma Boyong replied with a smile.
Then, before anyone could question him again, Ma Boyong explained, "Everyone should know that with the development of industrialization and severe global pollution, the medicinal properties of today's medicinal herbs have greatly decreased and are far inferior to what they used to be."
"And it seems to be related to the global environment. In ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, so there are all kinds of myths and legends. There are even many people who have witnessed martial arts breaking through the air and ascending in broad daylight!"
"But spiritual energy has been decreasing in modern times, to the point where, let alone those mythical beings, even the number of masters has dwindled. Ascending to heaven in broad daylight has become an unattainable dream for many!"
"However, if we have ancient medicinal herbs as an aid, it will be a huge boost to our martial arts cultivation! We may be able to create legends again in the future!"
"Mr. Ma, we all understand the truth! But where can we find ancient medicinal herbs? With the passage of time, they are all gone. Many medicinal herbs can't even grow in modern times!" Everyone said helplessly.
"Right now, there's something that can perfectly preserve the original flavor of ancient medicinal herbs!"
"This is amber! According to our Ma family's mining, we found that the medicinal herbs preserved in the amber stone are still full of spiritual power! The medicinal effects are extremely strong! That's why I say this is a rare treasure!"
"Adhering to the Ma family's style of not keeping things to ourselves, we've specially brought this rare ancient resource out to share with everyone!"
"This batch of amber is millions of years old, and the herbs and insects contained in it are also millions of years old!"
"Of course, these herbs and insects could just be ordinary weeds and mosquitoes!"
"But it could also be extremely precious elixirs and insects! What exactly it is depends on your vision and luck!" Ma Boyong said with a smile.
