The whole hall was silent immediately. Fang Zilan raised his eyes and glanced around. He looked cold and arrogant, clearly asking for punishment.
Fang Lihui couldn't help but look at the two bid papers held up by Fang Zilan with a stern look on his face. However, before he could speak, he heard her say: "The two distinguished guests violated the rules and their trading qualifications are invalid. Could you please take a look at the two papers, please, shopkeeper." Which one is banned?"
As soon as she said this, both Fang Lihui and the shopkeeper of Zuiyue Tower, as well as all the guests participating in the bidding, were all startled.
After a brief period of calm, a huge controversy broke out. Immediately, a guest loudly asked: "Miss Zhen, what do you mean by this? This is the second round, and there is another round after that. You are disqualifying arbitrarily..." "
"I am not wanton." Fang Zilan interrupted the guest coldly, "When Qianjinfang was founded, we set rules and never did business with people who violated the rules. It was like this in the past, it will be like this in the future, and it will be like this tonight."
She said, her eyes falling on the shopkeeper, "I would like to ask the shopkeeper to confirm whether the distinguished customer who bought the news in the first round is one of these two. If so, the first round of transactions will be void and the transaction will start again."
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on the shopkeeper's forehead. Such an offending customer would cause public outrage. How would Zuiyuelou do business in the future?
So the shopkeeper looked at Fang Lihui as if asking for help, but saw that he was unmoved at all. Even when he didn't respond, he urged: "Shopkeeper, follow what Miss Zhen said and confirm it."
The shopkeeper took a breath of air, but he still hurriedly responded and quickly confirmed whether the two people who violated the rules were the buyers of the first round of transactions.
"Miss Zhen, aren't you afraid that the two distinguished guests who violated the rules will become angry and be harmful to your maid or Mr. Ah Shi?" A probing voice came from the private room, and Fang Zilan raised his eyebrows, "This distinguished guest is so I’m curious, maybe I know something?”
The guests hiding in the private room did not speak anymore, and Fang Zilan continued to speak on her own, "I am doing this to ensure that all distinguished guests can have fair transactions. However, if you are not grateful, I do not mind changing the approach."
Her words were like a slap in the face, which shocked everyone present. The current blind bidding method was unheard of and very weird. If there were another method, there might be many twists and turns.
Most of the guests in the hall came here for news, wanted to trade, or wanted to gain experience. Naturally, they did not want to watch a handful of conspirators fish in troubled waters.
If the situation is disrupted, there is no telling what this unpredictable Qianjinfang Zhen will do. If she gets angry and cancels the deal, wouldn't they lose more than they gain?
Therefore, within a short time, the shopkeeper confirmed that the buyer of the first round of transactions was not one of the two people who violated the rules. After this was announced to the public, the guests' tone gradually changed.
Some people say that it should be like this, while others say that the two people who violated the rules have evil intentions. What's more, they say that Qianjinfang's rival family is secretly causing trouble...
Fang Zilan listened one by one, with a sneer on her lips. That's how people are, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
The tougher she is, the fewer people dare to provoke her. Even if she doesn't need to say anything, someone will misinterpret it to her advantage.
"Dear guests, please be quiet." The shopkeeper said loudly to maintain order: "The guest with the highest bid in the second round of transactions has received Miss Zhen's tip bag and agreed to the transaction conditions. That is, the transaction has been completed. Please announce the second news to Miss Zhen. What does it have to do with?"
Fang Zilan unfolded the note and said: "The news about the second round of transactions is about civil affairs."
Before she finished speaking, there was another commotion in the hall. Now that the political and civil affairs have been revealed, the last news left can only be about the affairs between the DPRK and China.
Therefore, in this round of bidding, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange, and all the guests became much more cautious. The waiter who collected the bid papers outside the private room waited and waited, but there was still no one.
This situation and this scene were all within Fang Zilan's expectations. Affairs in the DPRK are not like affairs in the political arena or among the people. A little carelessness can cause trouble and burn one's body.
If an official wants it, he has to weigh his own weight and see if he can hold it down. Otherwise, it will be a sin of harboring a treasure.
If merchants and nobles wanted it, they would have to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. After all, apart from the Fang family, there is no other family in the world that can flourish both as an official and as a businessman.
Although Fang Zilan did have the intention of stalling for time, and no one was allowed to leave before the entire bidding was over, but too much was not enough. If it was delayed for a long time, who knows whether it would lead to long nights and more dreams?
The guests hiding in the private room did not speak anymore, and Fang Zilan continued to speak on her own, "I am doing this to ensure that all distinguished guests can have fair transactions. However, if you are not grateful, I do not mind changing the approach."
Her words were like a slap in the face, which shocked everyone present. The current blind bidding method was unheard of and very weird. If there were another method, there might be many twists and turns.
