Xiao Yunmei's red lips parted slightly: "I want a backer."
"You?" Zhou Chen asked: "You mean that the family behind Yunmei's auction is not the family, but you alone."
Zhou Chen initially thought that Yunmei Auction was managed by the family behind Xiao Yunmei, but he did not expect that this was her property alone.
If so...
Zhou Chen had a smile on his face.
In this era, if you practice alone in the city, you don't know how many years and months it will take before you can successfully form elixirs.
Moreover, if one encounters constraints in his cultivation and needs pills to break through, he will have to aimlessly search for pill-making materials alone.
So Zhou Chen thought about creating an industry in the future that would be dedicated to finding all kinds of treasures, materials, and cultivation resources for himself.
However, Zhou Chen has no experience in this area, and has no time or inclination to manage the industry as a boss.
It's not that Zhou Chen has never thought about cooperating with those cultivating families, but after seeing the overt and covert struggles of the Cai family, Zhou Chen knows that the internal relationships among these big families are complicated and it is not suitable for them to work for him.
Zhou Chen was very satisfied with Yunmei Auction.
If Yunmei Auction belongs to Xiao Yunmei, then cooperate with her personally and help her become bigger and stronger.
Collect treasures from all over the country and even the world for your own use.
It will definitely have huge benefits for your own cultivation path.
Regarding Zhou Chen's question, Xiao Yunmei sighed.
"I founded Yunmei Auction, but I am a member of the Xiao family."
Zhou Chen didn't answer. He knew that Xiao Yunmei had more to say later.
Xiao Yunmei paused: "Although I am a member of the Xiao family, I have reached this point without relying on the Xiao family's strength."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. My mother is the head of a club, and my father is the current head of the Xiao family, so my existence is a stain in his life."
"If I hadn't shown an extraordinary business acumen since childhood, I would have disappeared from the world a long time ago amid the family's overt and covert struggles."
Regarding Xiao Yunmei's tragic life experience, Zhou Chen was unmoved: "Then, don't tell me, now that you have made Yunmei's auction bigger and stronger, the Xiao family wants to get a share of the pie."
"Alas~ It's more serious than this. I have a half-sister. Her mother is a young lady from another big family. She is married to my father and is my father's first wife."
"After my sister graduated, she also opened an auction company."
"With the help of family resources, her auction company rose quickly, but it is still unable to compete with Yunmei Auction. So what the family means is to let me allocate part of the resources to her auction company."
"If I refuse, the Xiao family will no longer protect Yunmei Auction. However, I am not worried about other family forces taking action against Yunmei Auction. What is really disgusting is that after breaking up with the Xiao family, they are the most The family that wants to swallow up Yunmei Auction!"
Zhou Chen understood.
Big families are indeed disgusting.
As an illegitimate daughter, Xiao Yunmei has no status in the Xiao family.
The reason why the Xiao family protected Yunmei Auction in the past was simply to prepare a big gift for the young lady from the Xiao family after she graduated.
Compared with illegitimate daughters, the legitimate heirs that Ming Media is marrying belong to the Xiao family.
If Xiao Yunmei is forced to hand over Yunmei Auction, Xiao Yunmei will definitely not agree.
So using this method of boiling the frog in warm water, the benefits of Yunmei's auction were slowly transferred to Xiao Yunmei's sister's auction company bit by bit.
In this way, all the interests of the auction are firmly in the hands of the Xiao family.
As for Xiao Yunmei, the illegitimate daughter, after all the interests were divided up, she was not far away from bankruptcy.
Without Yunmei's auction, Xiao Yunmei's status in the Xiao family will plummet, and she may become a tool for the Xiao family's marriage.
This is the ugly face of the big family, it is indeed disgusting.
In order to avoid a tragic end, Xiao Yunmei found Zhou Chen to discuss cooperation.
Yunmei Auction needs a new umbrella, just for the good protection of Yunmei Auction, an umbrella that can stop all those who covet Yunmei Auction!
During the years when Xiao Yunmei held auctions, she had come into contact with all kinds of practitioners and many cultivation treasures.
I know that above the ancient warriors, there are also immortal cultivators who have been passed down to ancient times.
They are the handful of people who stand on top of the world.
However, something like that that became an immortal cultivator in the Qi refining stage by accident is of no use to Yunmei Auction.
Only immortal cultivators like the previous woman surnamed Luo and Zhou Chen who have already established a foundation can bring protection to Yunmei Auction House.
"I want to be attached to the strong, but what can you provide to the strong?" Zhou Chen took a sip of tea casually.
Xiao Yunmei replied: "We, Yunmei Auction, have channels to collect various treasures across the country, and we even have branches of Yunmei Auction overseas."
Zhou Chen made his request: "I will give you a document that records all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that I can use. I need your people to collect them for me across the country and even the world."
Xiao Yunmei nodded: "Is there more?"
This is not difficult for Yunmei Auction. All you need to do is print out the treasures of heaven and earth that Zhou Chen needs into an illustrated manual, and let the staff pay special attention to them when collecting various auction items.
Zhou Chen added: "By the way, find out information about immortal cultivators for me, such as where strange phenomena appear in the world, or where monsters appear, etc."
Xiao Yunmei nodded: "What substantial benefits do seniors need?"
According to Xiao Yunmei's opinion, strong men like Zhou Chen are actually greedy in nature.
But now Yunmei Auction is in an embarrassing situation. Xiao Yunmei is not afraid that Zhou Chen will not ask for anything, but is afraid that Zhou Chen will ask for too little, thus being of limited help to Yunmei Auction.
Xiao Yunmei knew that immortal cultivators pay great attention to cause and effect. If they ask for too much from themselves and go back on their word, it will have an impact on Zhou Chen's Taoist heart.
Zhou Chen really had something he wanted.
"Do you have any storage magic weapon here?"
Xiao Yunmei frowned: "Storage magic weapon? Are you talking about the kind of treasure that is small in size but has a cave inside?"
Zhou Chen was overjoyed: "Yes, it's that kind!"
Xiao Yunmei shook her head: "In July, a ring-type treasure was auctioned, but it was taken away by the female senior who competed with you for the alchemy furnace today."
Zhou Chen secretly sighed that it was a pity that the storage ring was of a higher level than the storage bag.
The most important thing is that maybe there are other treasures in the storage ring, which is definitely a big chance.
"Storage type treasures require special attention. If found in the future, we must get them at all costs!"
Xiao Yunmei smiled: "Senior, are you willing to protect my Yunmei Auction?"
Xiao Yunmei's charm soared when she smiled, and Meixiang's spirit body unconsciously released its amazing charm.
For immortal cultivators like Zhou Chen, it is extremely attractive.
After all, the Meixiang spirit body has the qualifications of a furnace, and its charm for immortal cultivators is much greater than that of ordinary people.
Zhou Chen coughed dryly and suppressed his restless heart.
