Originally, Fang Qiu wanted to choose a less eye-catching position and take the opportunity to observe the major forces. Anyway, he was not here to buy anything. In this auction, he could at most be regarded as a fisherman.
However, after thinking about it for a while.
It was also good to be closer to these major forces. After all, with the people of these major forces attracting attention, he would definitely be selectively ignored by everyone. This was called the darkest place under the light.
Moreover.
If he was with these major forces, he might be able to hear some news.
Soon.
The two of them came to the edge of the third row. Seeing that there were only two seats left, He Gaoming rushed forward. When he approached, he grabbed the number plate on the tea table between the two sofas at the outermost edge of the third floor.
"Swish."
A figure rushed forward quickly and seemed to want to snatch it.
As a result.
As soon as he made his move, two number plates were caught by He Gaoming.
The man shook his head gloomily and could only return obediently to find a seat in the fourth row.
"Number one, number two."
After grabbing the number plate, He Gaoming smiled proudly and handed a number plate to Fang Qiu.
As a result, he looked at the number plate.
It was written: Number one in the third row.
Fang Qiu did not hesitate and walked to the first sofa and sat down.
"What's the use of this number plate?"
Fang Qiu asked after sitting down.
He Gaoming also sat down on the second sofa. He turned his head and pointed to the tea table in the middle of the two sofas. He said to Fang Qiu, "There are two sensing areas on it. If you want to increase the price in the auction, just put the number plate in the sensing area and scan it."
"I see."
Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.
No wonder everyone's way of grabbing seats was to grab the number plate. Without the number plate, it was useless to have a seat. Moreover, if someone occupied a seat without a number plate, it would be making trouble. Chic Cloud Pavilion would not allow this kind of thing to happen.
"How many of the major forces participating in this auction do you know?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"You're kidding."
He Gaoming raised his head and said, "Don't you know what your disciple does? Even ordinary people know these forces. How can I not know them?"
"All of them?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"Of course."
He Gaoming said confidently, and then directly pointed to the center of the first row, facing the four seats on the auction stage, and said, "There, the largest force in the entire auction house is located."
"Oh?"
Fang Qiu fixed his eyes on it.
He immediately saw three familiar faces in the four seats that He Gaoming had pointed out.
A woman in a white shirt with a masculine hairstyle, Zhan Lin!
Qian Xiao, who was wearing white branded sportswear and cross-shaped earrings, and Lu Zhiyuan, who was wearing a trench coat and had taken off his scarf.
"Those four seats belong to the Four Great Clans."
He Gaoming said, "The Zhan family and the Qian family in the capital, the Xi family in the west, and the Diwu family in the south."
"Four great clans?"
Fang Qiu curiously turned his eyes to the unfamiliar one among the four.
He glanced over.
Fang Qiu saw another woman. She had long hair and was dressed in a youthful outfit. She had fair skin and was very beautiful. She looked very thin.
Although he could only see the side of her face, Fang Qiu could still feel that this woman was definitely good-looking.
Just as Fang Qiu was staring at the woman.
The woman seemed to feel something. She suddenly turned her head, glanced at Fang Qiu, and then turned back.
Just one look.
The two of them looked at each other for less than a second.
Fang Qiu was completely stunned.
Sure enough, it was just as he had expected. This woman's appearance was unbelievably beautiful.
Next to him.
"The Qian family and the Zhan family are both in the capital. You should have heard of them before. The Qian family is mainly engaged in the antique business. Not only can they make money, but they can also occasionally get some secret skills and skills handed down from ancient times."
He Gaoming continued to explain to Fang Qiu, saying, "The Zhan family is engaged in some idle businesses, such as car dealerships, restaurants, hotel chains, real estate, and so on.
"In general, the financial resources of these two families are second to none among the Four Great Clans."
Hearing that.
Fang Qiu suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that the current Wulin is still a little different from the Wulin we imagined."
"What kind of Wulin do you imagine?"
He Gaoming rolled his eyes at Fang Qiu and said, "The major sects and family villas in martial arts novels? You've watched too many TV dramas. What era is it now? Not to mention the development of society, even the country doesn't allow these big families to be domineering. Isn't it courting death to play with the country? "
"That's true."
Fang Qiu nodded. He was very clear about the situation in the army. Although there were relatively few martial arts practitioners and Martial Superior Level teams in the army, it did not mean that there were none. Except for some particularly talented people, how many people could become martial arts practitioners and break through to Martial Superior Level?
The country could cultivate martial arts practitioners and Martial Superior Level teams, which meant that there must be masters in the army.
Moreover, now it was the era of technology.
If they really played hard with the country, they would definitely die.
Therefore, it was normal for all the major forces in Wulin to do business.
"What's more."
He Gaoming curled his lips and added, "Now it's a legal society. Is it your turn to stand up for Wulin? Look at the Four Great Clans. Except for Qian Xiao who brought three or four people, the others only brought one or two people each. Even the eldest daughter of the Zhan family came alone. "
"Indeed."
Fang Qiu nodded.
After his observation, he found that only a small number of people came to this auction with no more than five people at most. Most of the others came alone.
"Let's talk about the Xi family."
He Gaoming lowered his voice and said, "The Xi family is amazing. If the Qian family and the Zhan family are the ones in the capital."
Halfway through, He Gaoming gave him a thumbs-up.
Then, he continued, "Then, the Xi family is the one in the west!"
He Gaoming gave him another thumbs-up.
"So powerful?"
Fang Qiu was surprised.
"Of course."
He Gaoming said, "The Xi family is not only one of the Four Great Clans in Wulin, but also one of the founders of the famous Xilian Chamber of Commerce. That's why the Xi family can invite the butler of the Xilian Chamber of Commerce, Lu Zhiyuan."
"What about the Diwu family?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"The Diwu family is the most powerful Wulin family in the three southern provinces. At the same time, it is also the controller behind thousands of tourist attractions in the three southern provinces. Its main business is tourism, and its ancestral home is in Nanjiang."
He Gaoming said, "Do you see that girl? She is the leader of the younger generation of the Diwu family. Her name is Diwu Qian."
"Diwu Qian?"
Fang Qiu was stunned. The name sounded so awkward.
"Diwu is the noble surname of our Huaxia. It has a history of two thousand years. Now most of the areas have evolved into the surname Di and Wu. The only family that retains the complete surname is the Diwu family."
He Gaoming explained and then said, "Don't underestimate this Diwu Qian. She is a martial arts genius of the Diwu family. Among the top ten martial arts geniuses in the country, she ranks second. Although she looks weak, her strength is very strong."
"Look again. The four seats behind the representatives of the Four Great Clans. The Qian family, the Xi family, and the Lu family have each brought a master here. The empty seat belongs to the Zhan family. This time, the Zhan family didn't send anyone here. I think they are already waiting in the restaurant."
Fang Qiu looked carefully.
Sure enough, he saw three people in the four seats. The strength of these three people was about the eighth class. There was no ninth-class existence.
"You are looking at the two sides of the Four Great Clans."
He Gaoming continued to point there and said, "The people next to the Four Great Clans are from the government. The people sitting in the dozen seats next to them are from some medium-sized families."
Fang Qiu took a closer look.
"There are actually people from the government here?"
Fang Qiu asked in surprise.
"Yes, why not?"
He Gaoming hurriedly said, "In fact, the people from the government are the most difficult to deal with. It's just that the government is relatively low-key and doesn't like to fight for any position, so they gave the four best seats to the Four Great Clans. But everyone said that the position of the government is the best."
"Those dozen medium-sized families are also doing business, and their financial resources can't be underestimated."
Fang Qiu nodded.
Then he walked around the venue and saw an ordinary old man at the corner of the first row. He immediately gestured to He Gaoming and asked, "What about him?"
"This …"
He Gaoming glanced at the old man and said with embarrassment, "I don't know him."
"Just now, who said that he knew all of them?"
Fang Qiu smiled.
He smiled not because of He Gaoming's embarrassment, but because of this ordinary old man.
Others might not be able to see it, but Fang Qiu could clearly see that this old man, who looked extremely ordinary and seemed to be in a hurry to participate in all kinds of activities, turned out to be a guru!
And it was not only He Gaoming.
No one in the audience noticed this old man, which meant that no one knew him.
Looking at the old man.
Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Over there.
The old man was extremely sensitive. When Fang Qiu looked at him, he immediately turned his head to look at Fang Qiu. Fang Qiu pretended to look a little embarrassed and looked at him.
The old man glanced at Fang Qiu, chuckled, and turned back.
In his eyes, Fang Qiu was an ordinary sixth-class martial arts practitioner, and he himself was an ordinary person who was not even a martial arts practitioner.
This glance.
Fang Qiu clearly remembered the old man's appearance.
The old man's face was ruddy, and he had no beard. His eyebrows were a little gray, and his face was round. He looked very energetic, just like the old men dancing in the square.
"In my opinion, this old man must have walked into the wrong house, right?"
Hearing Fang Qiu's sarcasm, He Gaoming smiled bitterly and said, "What I know is that Wulin people are not ordinary people."
Fang Qiu shook his head and chuckled.
At this time.
In the auction house, everyone had taken their seats.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard.
The lights suddenly dimmed.
Fang Qiu looked up and saw that the lights on the top of the auction house, which were tens of meters high, were all dimmed.
The auction house entered a very comfortable environment. It was a little dark but not harmful to the eyes.
After a while.
