Chapter 409: Chapter 409 Achieving the Desired Objective

"I’ve heard that Mr. Tan Haipin’s Blood Ginseng is one of the highlights of this Chinese herbal medicine auction," the mayor said gravely. "Given his status in the business community, the treasures he brings will certainly attract a lot of eager bidders!"

"Besides, Mr. Tan Haipin is also very fond of collecting rare Chinese herbs and has always been generous with his purchases," continued the mayor. "If he takes a liking to two rare items this time, he will surely drive the prices up significantly."

"When that happens, this auction hosted by Zao City will capture the attention of merchants from all over the country, which will be beneficial for the economic development of Zao City down the line."

Cheng Yin and Song Jianjun nodded in agreement, although their minds weren’t really on the future development of Zao City at that moment. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Song Jianjun was mainly interested in making money. The auction house charged a commission of twenty percent on each sold piece, which amounted to a substantial income.

As for Cheng Yin, his goal was clear: to stop Wang Hao from advancing in Zao City and to crush him beneath his feet.

His sons had been beaten beyond recognition by Wang Hao, and he had repeatedly lost face in front of Wang Hao. He was determined to have his revenge.

"Wait a second, the auction is about to start, but where are all these people going?" the mayor suddenly asked with a burst of curiosity, noticing numerous attendees leaving their seats.

Cheng Yin and Song Jianjun were internally calculating their next moves when they heard the mayor. They quickly glanced around the hall.

Indeed, those attending the auction were all whispering to each other, looking surprised, and then gradually left their seats.

Cheng Yin and Song Jianjun hurriedly stepped down from the stage, and snatches of the attendees’ conversations reached their ears.

"Is it true? Mr. Tan Haipin is not going to participate in this Chinese herbal medicine auction?" one person questioned. "It must be a rumor!"

"It’s true, don’t you know?" another replied. "Didn’t you see? A new stall has been set up right across from this auction venue, and they are also having an auction. That’s where Mr. Tan Haipin went."

"It seems there must be something valuable over there, I won’t say more for now. Mr. Tan Haipin himself went over; let’s hurry and see for ourselves!"

"Wait for me, I want to go have a look too!"

Hearing the conversations around him, Song Jianjun turned pale. The auction was about to start, yet people were leaving his venue; how was he going to explain this to the mayor?

Cheng Yin, meanwhile, gritted his teeth in hatred. Wang Hao was so difficult to deal with; one could never let their guard down or he would seize the opportunity to turn the tables.

"What in the world is going on?"

The mayor had also overheard the conversation and was visibly upset. He glared furiously at the two and then strode out of the auction hall.

At that time, at the venue across the street, Liu Dazhuang’s auction was underway. He was energetically introducing the items that were about to be bid on.

Meanwhile, Wang Hao sat relaxingly in a room behind the auction stage, leisurely sipping tea.

"Wang Hao, I have some good news for you," Yin Jia walked into the room with a triumphant smile on her face. "You didn’t see it just now, but the people from Song Jianjun’s auction venue are starting to leave and come over here; it was quite a scene!"

"Come on, that’s nothing. Sit down and take your time," Wang Hao offered a cup of water to Yin Jia.

Yin Jia was also a Chinese herbal medicine merchant in Zao City and had participated in Song Jianjun’s auction. The last time Wang Hao sold Pure Yang Pills to Yin Jia, he found Wang Hao to be very upright and decided to give him a hand.

So, as soon as Yin Jia entered Song Jianjun’s auction venue, he began to spread the word that Mr. Tan Haipin had gone to the opposing street stall auction, seemingly for a rare and valuable item.

Curious, everyone came out to see what was happening. Everyone was drawn by Mr. Tan Haipin’s reputation and believed anything he showed interest in had to be of high quality.

Eager to catch this opportunity, those who heard the news paid no heed to Song Jianjun’s upcoming auction and rushed over to Wang Hao’s side.

"Oh?"

Wang Hao promptly left the room to look and just in time to see people from Song Jianjun’s auction venue slowly making their way towards him, while at the same time, Liu Dazhuang’s side was packed to the brim.

"Yin Jia, I really don’t know how to thank you this time. How about this, from now on, whenever you come to buy Pure Yang Pills, I’ll give you a half-price discount. What do you think?"

Wang Hao was very straightforward, knowing what Yin Jia wanted the most. He directly offered Yin Jia the biggest discount on Pure Yang Pills.

"What? A half-price discount?"

Yin Jia’s eyes widened in surprise; he had never expected Wang Hao to be so generous.

"What? Is it too little for you? Then how about I..."

"No, no, no, it’s not too little at all, not in the slightest. I feel like you’ve been overly generous to me. Not to mention, Wang Hao, you really are true to your word. Other things aside, I recognize you as my brother!"

Yin Jia’s expression was serious, and his respect for Wang Hao was boundless. He even felt that he had never lived as freely and generously in his many years as Wang Hao did in his twenties.

"You’ve helped me out so much; how could we not be considered brothers now?"

Wang Hao said with a smile.

After saying this, Yin Jia hurriedly left, fearing Cheng Yin would discover him. If Cheng Yin saw him, he would never let him go.

Currently, Wang Hao didn’t have the power to protect him completely, so he asked him to mix into the crowd and pretend not to know Wang Hao.

As time was about to start, Wang Hao and Chen Hongying left the room and headed towards Liu Dazhuang’s auction stand.

Liu Dazhuang had anticipated that today his area would be crowded, so he had cleared a space for the most important guests early on, such as Elder Tan Haipin.

Because there were too many people, spaces were limited, so Wang Hao could only sit with Elder Tan Haipin.

"Elder Tan, thank you for your presence today!"

Wang Hao sat down on a chair next to Elder Tan Haipin, speaking with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, full of confidence.

"Hmph!"

The woman behind Elder Tan Haipin looked disdainful, but after receiving a stern look from Tan Haipin, she dared not speak out and just coldly snorted at Wang Hao.

"Young Brother Wang Hao, congratulations on achieving your goal today!"

Tan Haipin glanced at the throngs of people behind him, most of whom had come from Song Jianjun’s auction.

Elder Tan Haipin was astute enough to guess Wang Hao’s purpose in bringing the artefact to the auction here.

Elder Tan Haipin had watched the entire process when Wang Hao was deliberately troubled by Cheng Yin and Song Jianjun.

Tan Haipin never liked beating around the bush.

"Now that you’ve achieved what you expected, can you sell the artefact to me now?"

The only reason Tan Haipin came was to buy the artefact at all costs.

Although Wang Hao didn’t understand why Tan Haipin was so determined to obtain the artefact, even to the point of offending Cheng Yin and Song Jianjun for it,

as long as Tan Haipin wanted something from him, it was an advantageous position for Wang Hao.

"Elder Tan, it’s not that I, Wang Hao, am unappreciative, but since I’ve already announced the artefact will be auctioned here, if I go back on my word and sell it to you now, what would people say about me?"

"Moreover, by doing so, I would be putting Liu Dazhuang in a bind. I, Wang Hao, really can’t bring myself to do something that harms others for my own benefit. Please forgive me, Elder Tan!"

Wang Hao said with a helpless look.

"That makes sense, what Young Brother Wang Hao said makes sense!"

Tan Haipin nodded repeatedly, confident he would get what he desired that day, as everyone knew the strength of his family and he wasn’t afraid of the competition. freewebnoveℓ.com

Having already waited for three days, a couple more hours wouldn’t make a difference.

Just then, Cheng Yin and Song Jianjun arrived with faces as dark as iron...
