"This year, our Jade Merchants' auction will invite dignitaries from the capital and Jiangnan to participate."

He Fangzhi expressed his pride when talking about the auction he had been planning for a long time.

He had been preparing for this auction for a year and even spent a large sum of money to build a Mulan boat for the occasion.

This Mulan boat can accommodate up to a thousand people and is extremely luxurious. The pillars in the guest rooms are all painted in gold. The wealthy businessmen invited are definitely not so many, but with the addition of sailors, cooks, maids, guards, dancers and singers... it is almost enough.

Now everything is ready, the only worry is that the auction lacks a treasure to dominate the event. Right now, this piece of agarwood is the most suitable one!

He Fangzhi, who is always self-satisfied, said excitedly: "This piece of agarwood will definitely fetch a sky-high price at my company's auction and create history!"

The Mulan boat carried goods from Lingnan and overseas from south to north on the way, selling all kinds of imported goods along the way, while the return journey was from north to south, picking up dignitaries at various ports to board the ship, come to Lingnan to participate in auctions, and spend the winter to avoid the cold.

The Mulan boat is now on its return journey and will arrive in Lianzhou within a month. The auction will also be held on an auspicious day.

He Fangzhi also hoped that this auction would change the stereotypes of people in the north and south of the Yangtze River about Lingnan and attract more noble people to Lianzhou.

They still have some good places in Lingnan.

"Aunt, let's put that piece of agarwood back in the warehouse for safekeeping! You go in first!"

The pirates who delivered the food to the Zhang brothers ate it in front of us.

"He is wasting his time talking to you. Is he trying to impress He Fangzhi?"

The young man is unworthy of being a young man. He has made a really bad plan.

Zhi Yiya guessed that the Zhang brothers wanted to secretly repair the fishing boat and return during the few days of rest, so she took advantage of the situation and put laxatives in our food.

Zhi Yi was not shocked by himself before he thought about it. I feel that after taking classes with Master Yang for so long, without the guidance of Manager Jiang who has a lot of clever ideas, nothing has really changed. It seems that people should read less and study less!

Instead of arguing over the gifts that He Fangzhi gave to his aunt, why not go straight to the person who gave them the gifts?

As soon as Mulan said that, the eyes of all the older generations in the He family lit up!

"Well, you rent him your worst shop on North Street at 10% of the market price."

Unexpectedly, their lives became more and more prosperous after they arrived on the deserted island!

"It's to know whether people have any grudges against them."

He Shao spoke up and directly gave the choice to Mulan: "Half of the agarwood will be awarded to Mulan to commend my serious attitude towards work."

At this moment, outside the tent where the Zhang brothers lived, Zhang Zhao spoke with difficulty: "Brother, is the meal we sent you okay?"

Originally, the fishermen were going to leave Haizhou Island and go out to sea again before the weather at sea stabilized. We all said that we went out to sea to avoid the wind or rest and would return to Cangsha Ferry.

I thought Miss Jiang was in need of support right now, so I had to take the opportunity to do her some harm: "Although the agarwood is yours, think about who found it?"

"It's just that, little brother, when He Fangzhi was in the He Mansion, they tried every means to dissuade Zhi Yiya from cooperating with her aunt because of her status as a fugitive."

Mulan praised her own wisdom: "If they want to climb down from the low branch of Shopkeeper Jiang now, they have to pretend to impress him."

The cold-hearted villagers of Yeli Village also said that they wanted to ask the village doctor to check on the Zhang brothers, but the brothers quickly declined, saying that they had the medicine they brought with them and would be sick after a few days of rest.

It was because the pirates delayed taking the antidote, so they were in trouble, and it was hard for the Zhang brothers to believe that they were under the control of outsiders.

If we want to delay time by waiting for reinforcements, then the first priority is to slow down the pace of the Zhang brothers, so as to slow down our return to the Sunan Islands.

"Since it was sent by Shopkeeper Jiang, let's divide it among those who invested in Shopkeeper Jiang. This time, He Jing and I contributed money and effort."

Hehe, everyone is like me, who will quickly turn against Miss Jiang and hug her calf after being taught a lesson by Miss Jiang.

Jiang Lili also felt that Mulan was a little stupid, and she actually knew how to resist and accept. I had to promise some bad things: "Seventh brother, the agarwood that the shopkeeper gave him is his."

We only regret that we looked down on others because of our status as Shopkeeper Jiang and his arrogant words made us want to avoid making friends with him.

"That's what you said."

The Zhang family claimed to be indigenous fishermen from a deserted island somewhere under the sea and were very experienced in the South China Sea. If we told Captain Chen's fleet that our boat was fine at that time, and these cold-hearted and malicious fishermen offered to give us a ride and send us home, we would be exposed by then!

Anyway, not even half of the agarwood is mine and it will run away. I am slow, so I will let the guy slowly raise the conditions step by step.

But we did not choose to make it public at the first time. Instead, we told the fishermen that we were not feeling well and that we were hungry, so we went out of the mountain to find something to eat. After we had eaten our fill, we could set off with our family.

He Shao fell into deep thought after hearing He Lin's request.

"You must have a deep impression of this scene. Tsk tsk, everyone was arguing with each other until their faces turned red."

Jiang Lili heard the head of the family say that. I bowed to Mulan and asked, "What does the seventh brother think?"

The laxative was released by a group of pirates with many talented people. There were too few pirates to meet up with Wen Qiao to gather intelligence, so a one-man team with special skills was sent over in a canoe. The remaining pirates and Escort Master Cen and others stayed on the island to protect Shopkeeper Jiang.

"So Fang Zhi, if he wants to bring that piece of agarwood to his auction, he should discuss it with his brother Mulan."

Mulan acted hesitant and said, "Especially, I want to ask Miss Jiang's opinion. Why don't you write a letter to ask Miss Jiang's opinion? Anyway, it's still early for his auction."

Mulan praised Manager Jiang in a roundabout way: "Zhi Yiya now gives agarwood as a gift whenever she wants. It's such a small piece, and it's only the first month since we went to Haizhou Island. I know there will be a lot of treasures in her hands in the past!"

*

Mulan was not shaken at all: "Brother, you have run enough shops, you want to open another one."

Mulan's words really hit the nail on the head. Before the dinner was over, the elders of the He family were racking their brains to think of how to impress He Fangzhi and please him.

The agarwood has no market price, so I am worried that I will suffer losses if I sell it.

When they were ready to set sail, the Zhang brothers found that the boat was ready.

"Well, brother, he also knows that you are a coward, so he has made a definite decision."

Knowing that the two Zhang brothers were able to travel together, the fishermen simply told them to take a good rest and recuperate.

On the day when Xin Che and Zhao Pinghou went to the sea to meet the fleet, Zhi Yiya and Xin Cheng were guarding the south bank of Haizhou Island, being extremely cautious.

One of the sources of profit for the auction organizer is the commission from the sale of various treasures. According to underworld rules, the business will take 10% to 20%. If that piece of agarwood is sold at a sky-high price, then Jiang Lili will be just sitting back and counting the money.

Shopkeeper Jiang asked the pirates to do something to the Zhang brothers' large fishing boat.
