<h4>Volume 1 Chapter 546 Auction Quota</h4>
"It''s up to you. As long as you can finish eating, you should work harder." Kong Yun hade out this time to make Shi Xueren happy, so spending a little was nothing.
"That''s what you said."
Shi Xueren looked at the menu and ordered.
"This Blizzard Orange Shrimp doesn''t need a romantic dragon sting. Have one for each of the other specialties."
This was the first time Kong Yun had seen such a way of ordering dishes. However, looking at the dense menu, Kong Yun broke out in cold sweat. No matter how expensive these dishes were, due to their nature, they wouldn''t be expensive anywhere. He didn''t care about money, but he was surprised by Shi Xueren''s appetite.
Seeing Kong Yun staring at him seriously, Shi Xueren couldn''t help but blush, "Don''t you know that it''s a blessing to be able to eat?"
Kong Yun suppressed hisughter and said seriously, "Yes, yes, yes, it''s a blessing to be able to eat."
After the waiter came in, Kong Yun directly handed his invitation card to the waiter. Shi Xueren said that this was a necessary process for selling quotas. The Wai Restaurant had to test the authenticity of the invitation card so that they could join the auction.
There was no need to worry about the safety of giving the invitation card to the waiter. It was because there were names on the invitation cards. If anyone took someone else''s invitation card to the Spring Pavilion to attend the party, they would have to wait for Seventh Mother to stay in the Spring Pavilion forever!
After a while, the waiter took back the invitation card and respectfully handed it to Kong Yun.
"Gentlemen, the shopkeeper has instructed us to erase 20% of the consumption of the two distinguished guests today."
After the waiter left the room, Shopkeeper Tong''s voice rang out in the hall of Wai Restaurant, "Half an hourter, there will be a total of four spots for sale!"
With another slot, everyone in the hall became excited. One more slot was equivalent to one more possibility.
Half an hour passed in a sh. During this period of time, there were no idents and there were no more spots. However, four spots were enough to satisfy the people below. There weren''t many people with real wealth and strength, and four spots were enough. Those poor families that didn''t have money and had poor poprity didn''t even need to consider this matter.
"All of you must havee here for the spots for the Seventh Mother''s banquet. Without further ado, we will start auctioning the four spots now."
"The first spot is from the Chen n''s Young Master Chen Tianchi. The starting bid will be one million divine pearls, and each increase will not be less than 100,000 divine pearls."
Kong Yun did not expect that the starting bid for a banquet spot would be so high. A million divine pearls wasparable to the iplete Heavenly Treasure Battle Cloak in the outer hall of Shunjin Trading Firm.
Moreover, this was only the starting price. The final price definitely wouldn''t stop there. Kong Yun didn''t understand what attracted people to Seventh Mother''s banquet and made others pay such a high price.
If he was Seventh Mother, he would definitely sell all of these spots. Those who had the ability would naturally think of a way to obtain the spots, and he would also obtain a good harvest.
However, thinking of this, Kong Yun smiled embarrassedly. Seventh Mother''s Lai Chun Pavilion was a huge money-making machine. There was still a need to sell quotas to earn money there. If that was the case, there was no need for her to host a banquet.
"Four million, bid four million!"
"4.1 million."
"Ten million!"
"11. 1 million."
"12,000,000. Jiang Dafu, can you do it? Isn''t it embarrassing to add 100,000 yuan to it?"
Jiang Dafu, who the young man spoke of, had a dark face. This person opened his mouth. There was no need for him to continue raising the price like this. Anyway, this was only the first spot. There were three more spots left.
"12,000,000 once, 12,000,000 twice, 12,000,000 times! Deal, this spot belongs to Number Three."
"Thank you, Da Fu!" Number Three cupped his hands towards Jiang Dafu, but his face was slowly filled with pride. There was no trace of gratitude at all.
"Now, the second spot will be auctioned. The spot wille from the Guo n''s Young Master Guo Wei."
"Ten million!"
This time, Jiang Dafu directly called the price to 10 million, hoping that others would retreat in the face of difficulties. Wang Tian, who had previously fought with him on the 3rd, had already obtained the quota, so no one should offer a higher price.
Just as the shopkeeper called out a second time, the number four beside Wang Tian called out, "13 million."
"Chen Qian, are you going to fight me too?"
"So what if I go against you? You have the ability to outbid me."
Jiang Dafu told himself that there were two more spots left, so there was no need to fight for the second spot.
Jiang Dafu, who was ring angrily, finally sat down. After no one bid, this spot was given to Number Four Chen Qian.
Kong Yun had been observing everyone in the hall. At first, the Cosmos City vagrant Xue Yifan didn''t move at all. He sat there quietly and watched the people in the arena bidding for each other.
There were still two spots left. I wonder what chance this person would have to win a spot. Even though the bidding in front of him stopped at 6 million yuan, in fact, many people were waiting for the spots at the back. They couldn''t help but make their move at the back.
Therefore, it was very likely that the price would get higher and higher. These three and four were smart, using words to shock others. They had to take the spots long ago to watch the people behind them steal the dog''s blood.
"The third spot is Miss Yuan Qingqing from the Yuan n."
"Five million!"
Jiang Dafu did not hesitate to bid another five million yuan. Wang Tian and Chen Qian had already bid for the spots. Right now, no one should fight him to the death. Quote a price first and then take it slowly.
Then someone quoted, "5.1 million."
"5.5 million."
"Seven million."
Jiang Dafu clenched his teeth and bid, "Ten million!"
"11 million!"
His price was instantly swept down. Not only was his expression extremely ugly, but Xue Yifan''s expression was also ugly not far away.
Xue Yifan had originally thought that the price of the third spot woulde down, but by the time the fourth spot arrived, he would be able to take it.
However, he didn''t expect the price of the quota to be higher and higher. He only had ten million divine pearls on him. If he continued to develop like this, it would be impossible for him to win the quota.
Jiang Dafu was clearly aware of this. The penultimate spot was fine. If it was thest spot, thepetition would be even more intense.
He gritted his teeth and finally decided to bid: "12 million!"
The few of them took turns to bid, each with a million dors. Only when Jiang Dafu shouted for fifteen million did the hall quieten down.
"Congrattions on winning the third spot on the 17th. From now on, the fourth spot is from Kong Yun."
The auctioneers of the first three spots were all the sessors of famous families in Cosmos City . Whoever Kong Yun was made the people in the hall confused.
The rules for issuing invitations to Seventh Mother were extremely strict. The forces would definitely be considered. However, they had never heard of Kong Yun before, let alone the fact that Cosmos City did not have the Kong Family at all.
However, since this spot was avable for auction, it proved that the shopkeeper of Wai Restaurant had verified his invitation card. Those of them who did not have an invitation card could only be envious and did not care if others were qualified to have an invitation card.
However, in a private room on the second floor, Shi Wu Cheng ''s expression turned bad again. He naturally knew who Kong Yun was. He didn''t expect Kong Yun to obtain an invitation card. Shi Xueren gave it to him because Kong Yun didn''t need this spot. He was so happy just now because of this!
Instantly, he felt that the warmth in his heart had all turned into anger. He was only worthy of using the extra items, just like an unnecessary person.
"Kong Yun, don''t you like Shi Xueren? Wait!" Shi Wu Cheng had already thought of how to deal with Kong Yun, so his mood naturally eased a lot.
The surrounding people seemed to have sensed Shi Wu Cheng''s low pressure. After asking, Shi Wu Cheng changed back to his smiling face and greeted his fox friend and dog friend to continue eating and drinking happily.
Thest spot was as Kong Yun had expected. The pricepetition was extremely intense. It quickly climbed to 17 million, and the trend didn''t stop. There were still many wealthy people in Cosmos City . They didn''t want to be the wrongdoers in front of them. Now that there was only one spot left, they couldn''t do it properly. They could only regret why they hadn''t made a move on the top three spots.
However, even if they made a move, they might not be able to bid higher than Wang Tian and Chen Qian. Their family background could be said to be the top two of everyone in the hall. Not bidding would only save them some money.
"19 million!"
A young man in the hall shouted out a price of 19 million yuan. The others were silent. The price was already very high, and no one was going to bid anymore. Spending such arge amount of money to attend the banquet of Seventh Mother might not necessarily be able to get the same value in return. Therefore, the others did not add anything else after considering it for a while.
"19 million once, 19 million twice …"
"Wait a moment!"
Xue Yifan, who had been looked down upon by many people, stood up and interrupted the shopkeeper''s shouting.
Shopkeeper Tong was originally somewhat dissatisfied with this Xue Yifan using him to rescue him. Now that Xue Yifan had interrupted his auction, he immediately waved his hand and prepared for someone to fork him out.
"Young Master Kong, I hope you can sell me this spot for ten million. This spot is very important to me!"
Xue Yifan''s eyes turned red. Saying such shameless words had already hurt his self-esteem greatly. However, in order to meet Seventh Mother , he had to do this. Otherwise, he would have to wait another five years.
Although the people around him who had just mocked Xue Yifan were shocked that Xue Yifan actually had ten million yuan in family resources, they still disdained Xue Yifan''s behavior of wanting to cut off his beard at a low price.
"A poor man is a poor man. If you want a spot, you can bid. If you can''t afford it, what are you pretending to be here for?"
Shopkeeper Tong was toozy to say so much. He directly shouted, "Someone, bring this Young Master Xue out. The temple is small, and there is no room for this Great Buddha."
Xue Yifan became anxious. This was his only chance. If Manager Tong kicked him out, everything would be settled. He would be under martialw around the Spring Pavilion tomorrow. He wouldn''t even be able to break through.
"Young Master Kong, I have no choice but to get this spot. Please!" Xue Yifan''s eyes were red and he stood straight.
