Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "Brother Hong, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't care about the title of Honorary Vice President. Let's go. Don't bother with such a person with a worrying IQ. Let's go back and continue chatting."
Hong Zhong didn't look at the livid Wei Jiading. He turned around and walked back with Lin Yi with a smile. "Brother Lin, don't think that everyone in the Hong's Chamber of Commerce is so stupid. We have been friends for several years. Don't give up!"
If the title of Honorary Vice President of the Hong's Chamber of Commerce was a very high status for Lin Yi in the past, and he needed to work hard to maintain it, then now it had been completely reversed. It was the honor of the Hong's Chamber of Commerce to have a senior alchemist like Lin Yi as the Honorary Vice President of the Hong's Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention impeaching Lin Yi, if he wanted to leave, the Hong's Chamber of Commerce would try its best to persuade him to stay.
Lin Yi knew this, and Hong Zhong was even more clear about it. Only an idiot like Wei Jiading would ask Lin Yi to move goods for him and even threaten them with impeaching Lin Yi and Hong Zhong. No one would believe that he didn't want to destroy the Hong's Chamber of Commerce!
Wei Jiading snorted coldly. He didn't have the face to continue to show off here. He left the Hong's Chamber of Commerce with a gloomy face and went directly to the dock to board the ship. As for the junk he bought, he would probably not know until he returned to the Central Island and gave it away.
After returning upstairs, Lin Yi asked Hong Zhong if he had seen the Ghost Cicada Wing. Of course, he hadn't. It was really difficult to find the really precious things in the north island, probably because the price was too low.
For example, the Ghost Cicada Wing could only be sold for 50,000 to 60,000 spiritual jades in the north island. If it was taken to the Central Island, it could be sold for at least 200,000 to 300,000 spiritual jades. It might even be sold for more than a million at the last auction. The price in the extreme north island would only be higher than that in the Central Island. Therefore, good things would not stay in the three central, western and northern islands.
Of course, there would occasionally be opportunities to pick up scraps, but such opportunities were extremely rare. Lin Yi didn't think that he would be able to get what he wanted just by casually wandering around.
After a short while, Shanghai Laner sent someone to inform Lin Yi that her grandfather didn't allow her to go to the Northernmost Island. Instead, she wanted to stay here to accompany her future master. However, Shanghai Tianhua still attached great importance to Lin Yi. So, when he came back from the Northernmost Island, he must go and see him.
Since Shanghai Laner couldn't go with them, Lin Yi didn't continue to wait. It was almost time for the fleet to set off again. They simply bid farewell to Xiao Ran and others and returned to the ancient battleship with Hong Zhong.
When Okuda Ba saw Lin Yi coming back, he smiled and greeted him. "Brother Lin, you're back. Manager Hong is also here. I've already arranged a room for you. It's not far from Brother Lin's. Is that good?"
Hong Zhong smiled and cupped his fists. "Thank you, Captain Okuda. This is exactly what I wanted! We haven't seen each other for a while. Let's have a drink later! "
"No problem! I've been waiting for you to say that! " Okuda Ba laughed heartily. It seemed that the relationship between the two was very good. Lin Yi didn't know whether it was a friendship from before or a new development in the past two years. Anyway, Lin Yi was very happy.
"Brother Okuda, are you waiting for some big shot to come?" Lin Yi asked casually. The number of people on the northern island who could make Okuda Ba personally wait for them could be counted with one hand. Shanghai Tianhua probably wouldn't come. Otherwise, Shanghai Laner would definitely follow them to the northern island.
Okuda Ba shook his head and smiled. "No, I'm waiting for you, Brother Lin. After we set sail today, the crew on the ship will be complete. So, I'll be leading a small trade fair in the evening. Consider it as a warm-up for the auction on the northern island. This is the jade token to enter. Brother Lin, if you're interested, you can come and have a look! "
"Brother Okuda specially gave me a jade token? You're too polite! " Lin Yi said in surprise. He took the jade token and thanked Okuda Ba. For this kind of thing, he could just find someone to give him a jade token. There was no need to wait for him to come back, right?
He knew about this small-scale trade fair. The passengers on the ancient warship were either rich or powerful. It was necessary to conduct a small-scale trade fair before arriving at the Extreme North Island. On the one hand, it could give those who wanted to collect spirit jades more time to prepare. On the other hand, it could also consume some of the potential opponents' financial and material resources in advance.
Okuda Ba laughed and said, "I'm afraid that I'll forget about you when I'm busy. So, I took advantage of my free time to come out for a walk and wait for you. This jade token can bring two people in. So, I won't give you Little Wei's. But you can't save on Shopkeeper Hong's! "
Hong Zhong took the jade token from Okuda Ba and laughed. "Look at your pained expression. Is this jade token very expensive?"
"No, it's only ten thousand spiritual jades. Those who can participate in the trade fair are all people with status. This entrance fee is still necessary!" Okuda Ba didn't hide it. He smiled and winked at Hong Zhong. "It's just to earn some pocket money. In any case, I have to provide the venue and some food and drinks. Ten thousand spiritual jades really isn't expensive."
"You unscrupulous merchant. Fortunately, you didn't open a Chamber of Commerce to steal business. Otherwise, you'd be a formidable opponent!" Hong Zhong laughed and joked. Then, they walked in together.
Shang Yuhua excused herself and left. This time, they couldn't buy Yang Ji Grass in the north island. She had to discuss with Shang Wanyi how to solve the problem of Cai Zhongyang. After all, Cai Zhongyang took out the Yang Ji Grass for them. They couldn't burn the bridge after crossing it.
Okuda Ba had a lot of things to prepare for the trade fair in the evening. So, he left after saying a few words to Lin Yi and Hong Zhong. Fortunately, it was getting late and the trade fair was about to start. Lin Yi, Hong Zhong, and Wei Shenjin went to the venue to wait.
Hou Guanqi, Cai Zhongyang, and the others naturally had jade plates from Okuda Ba. So, Lin Yi didn't need to worry about them. After sitting for a while, the two came together and greeted Hong Zhong.
After a while, Shang Wanyi also came with Shang Yuhua. When he saw Cai Zhongyang, he immediately came over and said apologetically, "Chairman Cai, I'm sorry. This time, I didn't buy Yang Ji Grass in the north island. I'm really sorry that you got into trouble. When we get to the north island, I'll definitely help explain. I'll also bear all the subsequent losses. "
"Chairman Cai, you don't have to be so polite. We're rivals in the business world and friends in private. You don't have to worry about this." Cai Zhongyang smiled and waved his hand. Of course, he couldn't really not care. But now that things had come to this, there was no point in saying anything more.
