Manager Wang chuckled after listening, "You tell to regret, but what do I have to regret? Zongheng International is the biggest auction house in the Provincial City, and it's even one of the top ones in the entire country. You think you can compete with , but you're still too green."
Ling Zhenfei sneered, "Fine, we'll wait and see."
Ling Zhenfei turned and left with Bai Ling. He now felt extrely disappointed with Zongheng International. He really didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
Sitting in the car, Bai Ling couldn't help but laugh, "You, you're really sothing. A big star, greeted by hundreds, but you've been snubbed at the auction house. How does it feel to experience such extres?"
Ling Zhenfei hadn't expected Bai Ling to still be able to laugh at a ti like this, "You can still laugh at a ti like this, don't you care about ?"
Bai Ling said, "Should anyone but yourself be blad for your disappointnt? Only you can be blad for being too naive. Don't you know about the three major auction houses in the Provincial City: Sacred Auction, Zongheng International Auction, and Dragon and Tiger Auction? Our Su Family owns Dragon and Tiger Auction, holding fifty-one percent. You should have co to with such an issue. Aren't you too naive?"
"What, Dragon and Tiger Auction is owned by your Su Family?" Ling Zhenfei was stunned upon hearing that. He never imagined that the Su Family's business would be so extensive, including one of the top three auction houses in the Provincial City, Dragon and Tiger Auction. It seed that he did right by turning to Bai Ling.
"Nonsense, why would I joke with you about such a thing? So, do you want to visit our Dragon and Tiger Auction?" Bai Ling looked at Ling Zhenfei with a mischievous smile.
Ling Zhenfei, with a killing aura in his eyes, said, "Of course I want to go, and I also want to help Dragon and Tiger Auction overtake Zongheng International!"
"Those are big words from you, but what makes you think you can take down Zongheng International? Is it just on the strength of your elixir?" Bai Ling was not confident in Ling Zhenfei's elixirs. For an ordinary person, it was unimaginable what a Breakthrough Pill ant to a Spiritual Cultivator.
Ling Zhenfei sneered, "You may not trust my elixir, but do you trust ?"
Bai Ling looked at Ling Zhenfei and said with a smile, "Fine, then I'll trust you. Are you really confident that our Dragon and Tiger Auction House can suppress Zongheng International?"
"If you trust , then we can suppress Zongheng International. If you don't trust , then I can't do anything." Ling Zhenfei spoke very seriously, making Bai Ling feel he wasn't kidding.
"Alright, then I trust you. Everyone at our Dragon and Tiger Auction House will support you as long as you truly can help our auction house take down Zongheng International. Just tell us what to do."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "Forget it. You're not the person in charge of the auction house. I'll wait until I get there and discuss it with the person in charge. All I need from you is to make sure they fully cooperate with ."
"Stingy!" Bai Ling glared at Ling Zhenfei and drove even faster, soon arriving at Dragon and Tiger Auction House with him.
It was a very grand building, with the words "Dragon and Tiger Auction" prominently displayed, a very famous place in the Provincial City indeed.
As soon as he walked into the auction house, he unexpectedly saw Su Wanlong coming out to et him.
"Brother Ling, you've finally arrived."
Without a second thought, Ling Zhenfei knew that Bai Ling must have inford Su Wanlong, otherwise seeing Su Wanlong here would have been no easy feat.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Zhenfei was invited into the living room for a mont, and Su Wanlong finally began to discuss business after asking Ling Zhenfei to take a seat.
"Brother Ling, let introduce you, the person next to is called Su Xi, also a mber of our Su Family, currently in charge of the entire auction house. I've heard from Bai Ling that you're confident you can help our Dragon and Tiger Auction House surpass Zongheng International, is that right?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Yes, I dare not boast too much, but if you follow my arrangents, at least for this auction I'm attending, we can definitely surpass Zongheng International. The remaining work will still require your effort."
"Mr. Su, do you have any specific plans?" Su Xi, the person in charge from Dragon Tiger Storm, asked from the side.
Instead of answering directly, Ling Zhenfei asked, "First tell , when is the next major auction for the Dragon and Tiger Auction House?"
After thinking for a mont, Su Xi replied, "It's at the beginning of next month. Zongheng International's auction is at the end of this month; we have to avoid Zongheng International's auction tis to prevent our items from being passed over due to insufficient attention."
Ling Zhenfei let out a cold laugh and said to Su Wanlong, "See, do you understand now why your Dragon Tiger Storm can't compete with Zongheng International? By actively avoiding them, you're showing weakness. Continuing like this will only make things worse, and you'll fall further behind Zongheng International."
After hearing this, Su Wanlong's expression grew awkward, as if he had also anticipated what was going to happen, "There's no helping it. So, Brother Ling, do you have any suggestions?"
Ling Zhenfei calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Take the initiative, schedule the auction on the sa day as Zongheng International's."
"No, that's absolutely not possible. With our current strength, influence, and auction items, directly competing with Zongheng International would be entirely humiliating," Su Xi imdiately objected after hearing Ling Zhenfei's suggestion.
Looking sowhat embarrassed, Su Wanlong said, "That's right, Brother Ling. Zongheng International is overpowering us in every way; a head-on clash would likely put us at a significant disadvantage."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "You're worrying about insufficient influence, but now that I'm here, what is there to fear? My popularity is still high. Just get my na out there, and we'll definitely overshadow Zongheng International in terms of influence."
"Indeed, Mr. Ling, there's no denying that your current influence is substantial, but influence alone is not enough. What about the auction items? Without high-quality items, it's useless," Su Xi still doubted.
Ling Zhenfei looked at Su Wanlong and asked, "The Dragon and Tiger Spirit can't possibly lack quality auction items, can you?"
"Brother Ling, you might not be fully aware, but precisely because Zongheng International is so powerful, all the good things prefer to go to their auction, which is why we don't have an edge in auction items," Su Wanlong explained.
After a pause, Ling Zhenfei said, "That shouldn't be a problem. I can provide a few auction items, just these items alone will be sufficient."
This statent from Ling Zhenfei took everyone present by surprise. Su Wanlong said with incredulity, "Brother Ling, you must be joking. Your items alone can support an entire auction? That seems a bit exaggerated, doesn't it?"
"I heard from soone at Zongheng International before that they also auctioned off cultivator items but the prices they fetched weren't high, right?" Instead of answering Su Wanlong, Ling Zhenfei countered with his own question.
"That's true, there are too few cultivators in this world. If an auction only sold Spiritual Cultivator items, it's very likely they would not sell."
