236.Approaching Darkness (2/3)
Day 6 of the conference.
Nine a.m.
Guan Chengxuan began to get busy, and there will be many guests at today's exchange meeting. In addition to some media in Haizhou, there are many entrepreneurs, company CEOs, and wealthy people who have arrived.
Since it is a selection, it is natural to have a standard, and the standard is money.
These wealthy people who are invited will bid on the works they are interested in, and the ranking will be ranked according to the top three highest bidders. In addition, after Hanhai Academy collects half of the auction money to offset the material fee, the remaining half will be returned to the school to which the work belongs.
However, this kind of student's works generally do not sell for a high price, and it is tens of thousands of dollars. After deducting the material fee, the remaining money is just enough for the students to eat a few meals together.
And entrepreneurs and others participating in such activities are nothing more than wanting to have a good reputation for supporting education, show their faces in the media, and brush up on their presence. After all, Hanhai University has a good relationship with many media outlets. Even many media professionals have come from this institution.
............
In a private house near Hanhai Academy, some conversations are underway.
The room was covered with heavy curtains, a faint yellow light was on, and the room was filled with smoke.
"Yang Chaode, are you sure that teacher has more than thirty treasure ginseng stones?" asked a big man with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Sure, very sure! You know I'm a stone hunter. The man stood in the way of several of my brothers and got dozens of ground ginseng. This thing can't be taken out of Hanhai Park, and it must be replaced with a treasure ginseng stone. Yang Chaode said.
Thinking of the scene the day before yesterday, Yang Chaode couldn't help gritting his teeth again, gasped a few times, and his stomach ached faintly. Jiutian's kick was so hard that he almost didn't kick his intestines out.
"Don't fool me. I heard that the staff of Hanhai Park only found three ginseng stones. Dahan sneered, staring at Yang Chaode's gaze with implicit malice.
Yang Chaode's cold sweat came down at once, and said, "Brother Rong, I don't dare to lie to anyone." If I lie, I'm going to die a bad death!"
Seeing that Yang Chaode had sworn a poisonous oath, the eyes of the big man converged.
Yang Chaode continued: "Although I don't know how that kid escaped the search, he must have a large number of treasure ginseng stones, which add up to at least a million or more. As long as you catch this kid, with Brother Rong's means, these things will definitely be caught. ”
Leaving the house, Yang Chaode looked at the sunlight outside, and suddenly had the illusion of being in a different world. He suddenly regretted his impulses, he was blinded by hatred. But at this point, he can't afford to regret it.
This guy named Brother Rong, they are a criminal gang. What's even more terrifying is that they are lethal cultivators.
............
At four o'clock in the afternoon, there were still two hours left before the final selection.
Among the guests who arrived today, there was a big man who made Guan Chengxuan have to be cautious.
Xie Ran, the captain of the Shenjian Department's branch in Hanhai City.
The Divine Prison Department of any city is a transcendent being, with great authority, and at certain special moments, it can call on all the power of the entire city. Of course, this kind of thing doesn't usually happen. However, as the most powerful guard force in the city, it is impossible for anyone to ignore the Divine Prison Department.
However, the school was on vacation, and many leaders were not there, so the task of welcoming Xie Ran fell to Guan Chengxuan.
At the gate of Hanhai Academy, Guan Chengxuan came to greet him in person, and the process was not too high-profile, because Xie Ran didn't like to be in the limelight.
An ordinary shuttle drove over, and Xie Ran parked the car and walked down.
"Captain Xie!" Guan Chengxuan stepped forward.
"It's Director Guan, hello, hello. Xie Ran smiled and shook hands with Guan Chengxuan.
The two exchanged a few words, and then personally took Xie Ran to the large conference room.
On the way, Xie Ran suddenly asked, "Is there a teacher named Jiutian who led the team from Zhengcheng University this time?"
Guan Chengxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "That's right, there is a young lecturer. Do you know?"
"Hehe, he doesn't know me, but I know him. Xie Ran chuckled.
These words made Guan Chengxuan's mind immediately flash a lot of thoughts, he didn't expect this young lecturer to be so famous in the Ministry of Divine Prisons. Even Xie Ran, the captain, had heard of his name.
But obviously he didn't want to talk more, Guan Chengxuan was very shrewd and didn't ask more, and after settling Xie Ran, he returned to the gate to entertain the other guests.
At nearly six o'clock in the evening, the large conference room was brightly lit and full of people. The auction process will be conducted under the surname of the dinner. In the large conference room, your tables and chairs have been dismantled, and long tables have been placed on them, which are filled with snacks, drinks, drinks, etc.
The people who came to participate in this auction were all well-known local figures in Hanhai City, as well as some media reporters.
The students did not attend the dinner, but only found a representative to present the work on behalf of the school when the work was presented.
Waiting until six o'clock, Guan Chengxuan picked up the microphone and began to preside over the auction.
"Good evening everyone, and it's a pleasure to all of you to participate in this auction. "It's not the first time to do something like this, Guan Chengxuan seems to be at ease.
In the crowd of people in the audience, media reporters began to take pictures. Xie Ran stayed in a corner and drank tea leisurely. Although he is the head of the Divine Prison Army, his status is detached, but in fact, due to the functions of the department, not many people have actually seen him, so he is very clean and undisturbed.
Similarly, in another corner, a man in his thirties had a small communicator pinned to his ear. He is the fourth eldest in Brother Rong's team, and he is good at reconnaissance and disguise. There were five people in the whole team.
"The auction has already begun, and there is no threat on the spot. It's all ordinary people. You get to the designated location as soon as possible, and do what I command. ”
In the communicator, Brother Rong's voice sounded: "Don't take it lightly, it's better to check it." If you find any problems, no matter how big or small, you will have to notify me. ”
"Okay. I'll check again. "Old four.
In a coherent and peaceful atmosphere, no one expected that some hidden darkness was approaching here.
Now, let's ask for the first group of works. The work of students and teachers from the Department of Spirit Plants of Sin Chew Star University. ”
The side door of the large conference room opened with a bang as Guan Chengxuan's words fell, and seven or eight students walked in pushing their works.
A few students were very generous, not nervous at all, and began to introduce the work after pushing it to the front.
"The name of this weaving is 'Sea Everything', and we studied more than 30 kinds of fish around Hanhai City and restored them with weaving......"
