Chapter 857 Why are there so few people?
The auction venue was bustling with people and the sound of discussion was endless.
"The person who made the four million deal this time is from Yuanwu Sect." Lu Baiwei leaned close to Ye Linglong's ear and said.
“It’s a huge investment.”
"Yes, but generally speaking, the sect will give a certain amount of subsidies for snatching the Worry-Free Fruit. After all, if they buy it, the sect will also benefit. Because when you are on the Worry-Free Tree, everyone's success or failure is related to the sect's reputation."
The two chatted briefly for a while, and the worry-free fruit that was photographed was sent away.
At this time, everyone was staring at the auction table, waiting to see if the next Worry-Free Fruit would be auctioned today.
“Thank you all for coming and supporting us. The last lot has been sold and this auction has come to a successful conclusion. Please leave the venue in an orderly manner and see you next time.”
The host's voice came from the auction stage, and there was a burst of sighs and heated discussions in the audience. Although everyone had stood up, the discussion continued.
"I didn't expect that this auction would only have one worry-free fruit. What's going on recently?"
"Who knows? There will be several in the first few days, but now there is only one in one show. It's the same every time. There are no more!"
"If I had known that there would only be one winner, I shouldn't have given it to Yuan Wuzong's people."
"But the price is already 4 million! Who can afford to go up any further?"
"The Carefree Tree opens once every ten years. Ten years is not too long, but it can bring a lot of changes. You can earn money every time you enter the secret realm on the Carefree Tree. Even if the price is high, you can't miss it as long as you have the conditions!"
When Ye Linglong and his companions walked out of the private room, they could hear the crowd walking out talking incessantly.
"Junior sister, after watching today's game, do you have any ideas?"
"Isn't there also a Jintong Trading Company? Do they have auctions?"
"What a coincidence, there is another show today, which will start in an hour, a little later than the Sifang Trading Company."
"Shall we go take a look?"
"OK."
Although the Jintong Commercial Bank's auction would start in an hour, Ye Linglong and his friends decided to go over and take a look first.
Firstly, she could see if there were any good things. Secondly, Ye Linglong had been busy for so many days and wanted to replenish some supplies, especially those she used to make bombs. Thirdly, she could help Fu Haoxing find out about some precious materials.
The group of three went to Jintong Trading Company. As soon as Ye Linglong walked in and showed her VIP card, the shopkeeper came out to greet them personally.
Although they had been treated with courtesy at Sifang Trading Company before, they still felt that Jintong Trading Company was more friendly.
After Ye Linglong entered, he took a pen and wrote several lists, then handed them to the shopkeeper.
"Please prepare everything on my list for me."
The shopkeeper took the list, looked through it, and then pulled out the list with the rare materials that Fu Haoxing needed.
"Other companies have stocks, but the materials on this list are very valuable and may not be available in a short time. However, I will immediately send people to search for you in all companies. If I can't find it, I will offer a reward. What do you think?"
"Just do as the shopkeeper says. I'm at ease with you doing the job."
"Thank you, Miss Ye."
It's not a lie, every time I go to a city, the manager of Jintong Commercial Bank is different.
But what was the same was their ability to do their job and their attitude towards her, which was so perfect that it was as if all the shopkeepers were the same person.
"Miss Ye, I will give you a detailed reply after I have confirmed the status of all the materials."
"Okay, shopkeeper. By the way, do you have an auction later?"
"That's true. If Miss Ye is interested, I will book a private room for you."
"I am interested. Thank you, shopkeeper."
"Okay, I'll go and make the arrangements for you. You can rest here and call me anytime if you need anything."
The shopkeeper took the list and went downstairs to help Ye Linglong with his work. At this time, a clerk from Jintong Trading Company came in.
"Hello, distinguished guests. The shopkeeper asked me to give you this list of new goodies. If you want anything, I'll show it to you for you to choose from."
"OK."
The list the guys made actually contained things that interested them.
So the four people from Qingxuan Sect started picking them up with interest.
"I'm still happier following Junior Sister to Jintong Commercial Bank to enjoy the benefits." Ji Zizhuo said, "These are not available anywhere else. Fortunately, I didn't spend all the money before, and I still have a lot left."
"Isn't Fifth Senior Sister a distinguished guest of Sifang Trading Company? Aren't there so many good things going on at Sifang Trading Company?" Ye Linglong asked curiously.
"Junior sister, you don't know that all disciples from the seven major sects are VIPs at Sifang Trading Company and Jintong Trading Company." Lu Baiwei said, "But that's just the most basic. Unless the disciple has more transactions at a certain trading company, the treatment will be different."
Ye Linglong nodded.
No wonder even though they are both courtesies, the feelings at Sifang Trading Company and Jintong Trading Company are so different. It turns out there is such a difference.
Just after they had been choosing for a while, the shopkeeper came in and led them to the private room of the auction, because the auction was about to begin.
The four of them followed the shopkeeper to the private room of the Jintong Commercial Bank's auction.
As soon as he walked in, Ye Linglong felt the great difference between Jintong Trading Company and Sifang Trading Company.
When they just entered the private room of Sifang Commercial Bank, not only were the audience seats full, but there were also many people standing in the aisles.
But now that I've entered this private room and looked around, I can see that the audience seats are sparsely populated, with even less than half of the seats occupied.
"Shopkeeper, is there still a long time before the auction starts? Why are there so few people downstairs?"
The shopkeeper sighed, looking helpless.
"Because there are no fruitless sales at this auction, few people are interested. Here is today's auction list, you can take a look. If you are not interested, it is okay to leave early."
The shopkeeper's last words were a bit sad indeed.
Ye Linglong glanced at the auction list and found that there was indeed no worry-free fruit, and there was nothing particularly outstanding on the list.
"But logically speaking, there are usually no worry-free fruits, but every auction is always full of people."
“Normally, there might not be one auction in a month, but this month there are so many auctions, almost one every day. When so many things are sold, people naturally don’t want to buy them anymore.”
The shopkeeper sighed again when he said this.
"Plus, the number of worry-free fruits that our Jintong Company obtained this year is really too small, which caused people to go to Sifang Company. They sold more fruits there, so we naturally sold less. But we have to open. It would be embarrassing to close our store when others are busy."
