"Uncle Tong, why are you back?" Song Changsheng looked at Song Lutong in surprise. Who provoked him again?
"Changsheng, tell me the truth, what on earth do you think, three pieces of Spirit Artifact were given away at the touch of your lips?" Song Lutong said angrily with a loud voice.
Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said in confusion, "It's not an auction, why is it just a gift?"
"Why don't you give them away? How many Spirit Artifacts does Lineage have in total? Patriarch only has two pieces, and I only have one. It's easy to give them away, but it's difficult to come back." Song Lutong's tone was full of resentment.
At this point in the conversation, Song Changsheng gradually realized that this was the reason for his feelings.
After hearing what he meant, Song Changsheng looked at Song Lutong pretending to be worried and said, "What Clan Uncle said makes sense, but it's just that the words have already been released. A sudden change of heart may affect Lineage's reputation."
"What should we do?" Song Lutong was also anxious.
"How about this? When the time comes, you will also participate in the auction, buy one for Lineage, bid whatever you want, and Lineage will reimburse you.
If it's done well, how about I choose one Spirit Artifact from Family Treasury and give it to Clan Uncle? "
As soon as these words came out, Song Lutong blushed and said slightly, "This... this is not good, Changsheng, I am not doing this for Spirit Artifact, I just feel that I should not be left in the hands of outsiders."
"It doesn't matter, Uncle Tong has been in charge of Mortal World for many years, and he has worked hard and made great achievements. What does a mere Spirit Artifact mean?" Song Changsheng waved his hand and said righteously.
"Ahem, if that's the case, then I'm going to earn one for Lineage. I can't take advantage of these outsiders."
"This is exactly the truth. It is a good idea that wealth should not go to outsiders. But Uncle Tong must remember to hide his identity when participating in the auction. If others find out, he may cause criticism." Song Changsheng held Song Lutong's arm and whispered.
Song Lutong heard this and rubbed his hands, nodded repeatedly and said, "Aren't you still worried about your old uncle's work? Remember, remember, then I will go back to the Luoshui River."
After saying that, Song Lutong walked away with his sword in a daze.
"Pfft"
After he walked away, Song Qingxi on the side couldn't bear it anymore and laughed in an extremely unladylike manner.
Seeing Song Changsheng looking over, she stopped her smile and said, "Uncle, you are too bad. You didn't plan to auction all the three Spirit Artifacts."
Song Changsheng smiled knowingly when he heard this. How could he be so stupid? Lineage had not accumulated much Spirit Artifact in the past five hundred years. He could not do such a wasteful thing.
The three pieces of Spirit Artifact are just a gimmick. In fact, only one is actually auctioned, and the other two will be photographed by someone he arranges to recharge into Treasure Vault.
This operation is commonly known as: "Tugging".
Song Changsheng was just thinking about who should be the "caretaker", and Song Lutong just happened to deliver it to his door.
Although these two pieces of Spirit Artifact can no longer be exposed to public view in the future, they can still be used to set up formations or be used for other purposes. Some of them have their uses.
As for why they didn't take them all back, it was just to make the appearance less ugly. After all, the others were not fools. If none of them were leaked, you would understand what happened if you think about it.
By then, Song Clan's credibility will be in complete shambles.
Although it is disgraceful to do so, it is not unreasonable and unscrupulous. He has not set a precedent for this kind of thing. Everyone does it, just don't let anyone catch it.
Song Changsheng knows this very well...
Within the Wuling Sect, White Cloud Peak, Council Hall.
"Bang"
Du Huating suddenly slapped the table, his face was gloomy and scary, and he said angrily, "What does Song Clan want to do? Does he want to monopolize Market's interests as a family?"
Others may not know the meaning of the Song Clan's auction, but Du Huating, as an old rival, could see it at a glance. This was the reason for his anger.
Since Liu Hongye led people to occupy Liuyun Market, the income of Ling Province and Lineage has dropped a lot. It would be a lie to say that they do not want to re-establish Market.
Everyone was very happy that Song Clan could be the leader. After all, the previous Liuyun Market was also led by the Song Clan, the old Elder Brother.
Later, it relied on the reputation of the Song Clan to gradually develop and grow, attracting a large number of Rogue Cultivator and small Lineage, and eventually became one of the pillar industries of several major forces.
After Market was gone, I didn't think much of it at first. I just had to save some money because of the low income. But after paying Song Clan nearly 270,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Wuling Sect and several big Lineage's old savings were almost wiped out, and everyone tightened their belts.
Now they are in urgent need of open source, so they are happy to see Song Clan re-establish Market.
What Du Huating didn't expect was that this time Song Clan actually wanted to kick them away and go it alone.
My uncle can't bear it, and my aunt can't bear it anymore!
"What do you think we should do?" Du Huating looked at the Council Hall's crowd Human Dao.
The faces of Qiu Tianyang and Yu Chengshan are also very ugly. In the original Liuyun Market, these two families also accounted for the majority!
Only Li Siyang looked calm. Anyway, Li Clan only had a few shops before, so it didn't matter whether they had them or not.
"Pressure must be put on the Song Clan immediately to allocate Market's share as before!"
"Yes, they can't monopolize this auction either."
"Yes, the new Market address should be decided together by us."
For a moment, everyone at the meeting began to shout, but Li Siyang sneered, "When Liuyun Market was built, Song Clan was the one who contributed the most, but it was us who made the biggest profit.
Back then, Song Clan had just experienced a war and had a weak foundation, so they roped us in. Now Song Clan is no longer what it used to be. Killing Great Demon made them famous and they can monopolize it. Why bring us along? "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.
Yes, why did you bring yourself along? Just because you are so proud?
"Hmph, if Song Clan dares to leave us, we will make it impossible for him!" Qiu Tianyang said coldly.
"That's right, I don't believe that Liu Hongye can still sit still at this time. Our two families have joined forces, and Song Clan can score even if it's not divided!" Yu Chengshan also looked unhappy.
"Ha, you are deceiving yourself. Let's not say whether Liu Hongye will cooperate with us. Let's talk about the Quasi Sky Battleship. Who among us can handle it?" Li Siyang looked disdainful. He felt that these people had their heads kicked by donkeys.
Below Purple Palace Cultivator, who can compete with Quasi Sky Battleship?
After hearing the words "Quasi Sky Battleship", the excited people gradually calmed down. They all saw the power of this thing.
In the decisive battle with Silver Moon Demonic Wolf, Song Clan's Quasi Sky Battleship caused nearly half of the damage, which is enough to show how terrifying it is.
Even if they defeated Quasi Sky Battleship with their numerical advantage, don't forget that there is still Song Changsheng, the killer.
His achievements cannot be ignored by anyone.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
In fact, it's not that Yu Chengshan they are stupid, they are just blinded by their interests and subconsciously ignore these things.
On the contrary, Li Siyang, who has no illusions about Market, sees clearly that without him, the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear.
After a long time, Du Huating broke the silence and said, "In any case, Market's interests cannot be monopolized by the Song Clan. We need to negotiate with the Song Clan as soon as possible to win some shares."
Having said that, he looked around at the several decision-makers in the sect and first eliminated Li Siyang who just wanted to fish. Then he looked at Yu Chengshan and said, "Let Elder Yu join me and set off tomorrow!"
Just when Wuling Sect was about to send people to the Song Clan for negotiations, Liu Hongye, who had completely taken over the power, also led people to the Song Clan for negotiations. They also wanted the interests of Market!
Then, the two families bumped into each other.
The old enemies gathered together, but the scene was extremely harmonious. The two old foxes, Du Huating and Liu Hongye, got together to talk secretly for nearly a quarter of an hour. In the end, both of them showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
When Song Changsheng received the news of the visit from the two old guys, he saw the smiles on the faces of the two old guys, and the corners of their mouths could not help but raise slightly. It seemed that they had reached a consensus. Unfortunately, there has never been an unbreakable alliance in this world.
"What kind of wind brought several fellow Daoists here today? Could it be that they came to thank them personally for helping out last time?" Song Changsheng greeted them with the same smile on his face.
When Du Huating and Liu Hongye heard this, they immediately secretly cursed Song Changsheng for being shameless and what a bullshit helper. They were paid!
But both of them are old foxes, so they naturally won't show it. Du Huating smiled and cupped his hands and said, "That's true. If Song Clan hadn't extended a helping hand, Liuyun Mountain Range would have been in danger."
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Du. We Ling Province have always been united and open to the outside world. This is what we should do." Song Changsheng waved his hand and responded in an upright manner.
But it was funny in his heart. He knew the origins of these people very well, but since the other party wanted to pretend to be stupid with him, he didn't mind spending a few more words. Anyway, he was not the one who was anxious.
Even though the two of them were well-informed, they were also shocked by Song Changsheng's shamelessness. Compared to Song Xianming, Song Changsheng was really thick-skinned.
The two exchanged glances, and Liu Hongye stood up knowingly and said, "Fellow Daoist Song, I heard that the nobles are going to hold an auction. I wonder if our sect can participate?"
Song Changsheng The smile on his face gradually disappeared when he heard this, he shook his head and sighed, "Alas, Fellow Daoist Liu only knows one thing, but not the other.
Song's original idea was to rebuild Market, but after two wars, people's livelihood was exhausted, and a large number of monks fled, which made Ling Province's immortality sluggish and difficult to put into practice.
I have no choice but to hold this auction just to attract people. As for Market, I can only do it slowly. "
Song Changsheng's "sincerity" surprised a few people. They originally thought that he could do Tai Chi in various ways, but they didn't expect that he told the truth without any concealment.
Suddenly, the drafts they had prepared long ago were useless.
Du Huating's mind changed quickly, and he quickly said, "Rebuilding Market is a major event that will benefit the entire Ling Province. Our sect and fellow Daoist Liu can also contribute, just like Liuyun Market in the past, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
Song Changsheng pretended to suddenly realize. "It turns out that you two are here for Market."
Immediately, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "If you two want to join us, Song will naturally be happy to do so."
Du Huating and Liu Hongye looked at each other, feeling a little surprised, so easy to talk to?
Although they have doubts, isn't this exactly their purpose?
However, before they could be happy, Song Changsheng changed his voice, and then said, "Even so, this rule has to change, and it can no longer be the same as usual."
Du Huating's heart sank. The thing he was most worried about had come. Fortunately, he had already prepared for it. As long as the distribution was not too outrageous, he could accept it with gritted teeth.
"I wonder how Fellow Daoist Song wants to change?"
Song Changsheng smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's very simple. The shops in Market are only for rent, not for sale. Our clan will use 70% of the shops for rent.
Of course, our clan will also assume the responsibility of protecting and constructing Market, and all the expenditures involved will not bother you fellow Daoists. "
The more they listened, the darker their faces became. Finally, Yu Chengshan couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Fellow Daoist Song, don't you think your appearance is too ugly?"
"Heh."
As soon as these words came out, Song Changsheng was instantly amused. He looked at Yu Chengshan calmly and said, "What does Fellow Daoist Yu mean by this?
Whether it's the auction or Market, it's all hosted by our clan. What's wrong with me doing this?
If Fellow Daoist Yu feels that what Song did is inappropriate, you can also set up a Market. How about we each rely on our abilities? "
As soon as these words came out, Yu Chengshan was instantly choked up and speechless.
He knew very well that Market couldn't do it alone, even if their combined strength accounted for two-thirds of Ling Province.
The reason is simple, they are not qualified yet.
They may still be a figure in Ling Province, but looking at the entire Great Qi, they are not ranked at all. The way they are established, no one will buy it.
But Song Clan is different. Song Clan has been based on Ling Province for five hundred years and has a certain reputation in Great Qi Cultivation World. Although it has declined now, it still has a high reputation in several surrounding states. Many forces have good relations with Rogue Cultivator.
If there are two Market, most people will choose Song Clan without hesitation, and the rest will definitely choose Song Clan after waiting and watching.
Without him, Song Clan not only has reputation, but also has heritage.
Let's just talk about this auction. There are many things that they can't get out at all.
Several people exchanged glances quickly, and finally Du Huating stood up and sighed, "Everything that Fellow Daoist Song said makes sense. I wonder, how many shops does Luoshui Riverbank have now, and how many can be left to me?"
"Market is still small in scale. There are only twelve properties available for rent now, all of which are in the best locations. Now it only costs 500 yuan Low-Grade Spirit Stones a year. The rent starts from ten years and the rent is settled annually.
Rent it now and start business during the auction. What do you think? "Song Changsheng's smile suddenly became enthusiastic.
"Five hundred yuan Low-Grade Spirit Stones..." Du Huating's mind changed quickly. If it is really the best location, the price is not expensive, but the only uncertainty is that Market has just started, and no one is sure about the benefits.
While Du Huating was still secretly communicating with Yu Chengshan, Liu Hongye said directly, "Fellow Daoist Song, I, Liuyun Sect, want ten rooms. When can our sect move in?"
As soon as these words came out, Du Huating was immediately shocked.
