Chapter 388: Rich and domineering!
"I offered five million taels of silver, and you offered three million taels of silver, and you let me go? Did you learn arithmetic from a dog?
You didn't come earlier than me, your bid was not as high as mine, and you have no place in the world, right or wrong. Don't you think that the Gao family has no rules and morals in the Southern Wilderness, and only knows how to use power to oppress others?"
This shout immediately attracted a lot of people to watch, and soon the shop, which was originally quite spacious, was surrounded by people.
In front of everyone, as it concerns the family's reputation, Gao Jin naturally did not dare to express the attitude that "the Gao family does not abide by the rules."
Although he was angry, Gao Jin took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
The family told him that he must take over the shop. Gao Jin lowered his posture and said, "Sir, the cloth shop next door is owned by my Gao family. We are planning to expand it. Manager Liu's shop is very important to us.
Please be tolerant, my Gao family will find a more suitable shop for you."
"This shop is quite suitable." Tang Yan was unmoved.
"Since Manager Liu is anxious to sell the shop, my Gao family can pay five million taels of silver today." Gao Jin suppressed his violent aura and raised the price.
"I can pay it off right now, so you better save your money!"
"Can you take out five million taels of silver right away?" Gao Jin couldn't help but sneer. Who would carry so much money?
"It's enough to buy your Gao family's cloth shop."
"How dare you! Do you know how much our cloth shop is worth? Your little money means nothing!" the followers behind Gao Jin scolded.
"This little bit of money is more than enough to buy out your Gao family!" Tang Yan never hesitates when he talks.
“Arrogant, boy, you are insulting the Gao family!
I won't bully you. My Gao family's cloth shop is worth 40 million taels of silver. If you can't afford it, just leave. The Gao family won't make things difficult for you!
If you insist on doing it your own way, don’t blame me, the Gao family, for being rude to you!" Gao Jin said coldly.
"This young man looks unfamiliar. He is not from the Southern Wilderness, right? You'd better not fight for this shop. Being able to be on good terms with the Gao family is a blessing that cannot be purchased with any amount of money!" Some kind-hearted people, unable to bear to see Tang Yan suffer, tactfully advised him.
Tang Yan pretended to be hesitant in response to people's advice.
After a while, he suddenly put on a righteous attitude and said, "I have already negotiated with Manager Liu. This shop should be sold to me. Why are you trying to get something for nothing?
If you really want to gamble, go for the big one!
I can take out 40 million taels of silver, and your cloth shop must sell it to me today!
If you can’t afford it, I will sell Manager Liu’s shop to you for 5,010,000 taels!
Do you dare to bet?"
Fire Phoenix rolled her eyes when she heard this. This guy was so indignant and made such an impassioned speech, but she didn't expect that he was good at finding a way to save face.
The contempt in Gao Jin's eyes was even more obvious. He simply didn't believe that anyone would carry so much money with them.
Moreover, he had already heard the meaning of giving in from Tang Yan's words.
Ten thousand taels of silver, well, just consider it as giving alms to a beggar!
"Let's bet!" Gao Jin responded.
"Please help us prove that the Gao family is trustworthy and is definitely not a treacherous family!" Tang Yan bowed to those around him.
"Okay, okay! We will definitely testify!" Since they were just there to watch the fun, the people around immediately agreed.
"Don't be so fussy, if you have it, take it out, if you don't have it, just leave!" Gao Jin urged!
"I misunderstood just now. The Gao family is actually very kind. Knowing that this shop is too small and not enough for me, they even sent the shop next door to me!" Tang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"What? Do you really think you can come up with the money?" Gao Jin sneered.
"Why would I bet with you if I don't have money? Watch this!" After that, a pile of gold appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing the golden gold, everyone's eyes were wide open.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand ounces of gold is equivalent to forty-five million ounces of silver!
Shopkeeper, these 50,000 taels of gold are yours. If you have one tael less, I will compensate you with 10,000 taels!" After saying that, Tang Yan pushed out a pile of gold and sent it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened as he looked at the mountain of gold.
"It won't be less, it won't be less!" Hearing Tang Yan's promise, the shopkeeper smiled and put the gold into the storage space, and then a deed fell into Tang Yan's hands.
Everyone's expression was dull, and two questions kept circling in their minds:
Why does this guy carry so much money?
Did this guy really offend the Gao family?
"I would like to thank the Gao family here!" Tang Yan smiled and bowed to Gao Jin.
Gao Jin's expression became extremely ugly at this moment.
The land price of the cloth workshop was overestimated at 40 million taels of silver, but this cloth workshop occupied a large part of the cloth market in Nanhuang City.
In the end, I lost it myself, which will have a great impact on the family business.
There is no way to escape the family’s punishment!
Trying to cheat is even more unacceptable.
There are no laws in the Northern Spiritual Realm, so integrity is even more valuable.
In this place where strength is respected and the strong prey on the weak, it is full of intrigue and the level of trust between each other is very low.
Once integrity is gone, no matter how powerful you are, you will only go downhill.
"Hmph! The title deed will be delivered later!" With a cold snort, Gao Jin put away the gold and left.
Tang Yan bowed to the people around him, and then said, "Boss, why don't you give me these herbs at cost price."
The shopkeeper was delighted to hear this, he was not in this business, medicinal materials could only be sold off, so it was naturally a good thing to be able to clear the stock.
After the payment and goods were settled, Tang Yan asked the store owner to pack his luggage and left the store.
He was not afraid of others causing damage, since the cloth shop next door also belonged to him, he would demolish both shops and rebuild them later.
As long as the money is in place, a building can be quickly completed in this martial arts world.
Accompanying the Fire Phoenix with mixed emotions, the two came to the Xiao family's mansion.
In a hall.
"Mr. Tang, we've been waiting for you!" Xiao Buyu said excitedly.
"Master Xiao, you are too polite. I wonder if there is something like that over in Huanglin..." Tang Yan asked.
"We have arranged people to wait there. Don't worry, Mr. Tang. As soon as there is any letter, we will notify you immediately." Xiao Buyu assured.
"Thank you, Patriarch Xiao."
"Don't mention thank you in front of me from now on. I can't bear it!" Xiao Buyu waved his hands hastily, and looked at Huo Fenghuang curiously: "I wonder who this girl is..."
"I am Lan Fenghuang, nice to meet the head of the Xiao family." Fire Phoenix bowed and saluted gracefully.
"Oh—hmm?" Xiao Buyu, who was about to say something polite, suddenly shuddered. He turned his head and glared at Fire Phoenix, asking in surprise, "Fire Phoenix?"
"It's just a common name. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Xiao."
"I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!" Xiao Buyu's heart was slightly shaken. No matter whether it was the Fire Phoenix or the Lan family behind the Fire Phoenix, neither of them could be compared to the Xiao family.
At this moment, Xiao Buyu became more respectful to Tang Yan.
Judging from Tang Yan's demeanor, he seems very casual with the Fire Phoenix, so I guess he is of some unusual status.
At least, not inferior to the Lan family.
