Chapter 377: Chapter 377: The Invisible Bragging is the Most Lethal

Run Tian Auction House is professional, so it has a dedicated auction venue.

This venue occupies at least two thousand square meters, which is not small.

The auction stage is positioned in the south.

The other three sides are for guests.

Moreover, it is divided into upper and lower levels. The second floor seating is VIP, with each seat about ten meters apart.

The seats on the first floor are arranged like those in a cinema.

The two types of seating perfectly divide people into different social classes.

The Liu Family holds a prestigious position, and they are essentially the pinnacle of VIP status, naturally having seats in the second-floor VIP area, specifically at the first elegant seat.

After the four of them were seated, Liu Yiren couldn’t wait to ask Qin Yi about his plan to deal with Xie Wang and his group?

Qin Yi lazily leaned back on the sofa, his lips slightly pursed, "Don’t rush. Just like a cat playing with a mouse, there’s no fun in ending it with one bite! It’s more enjoyable to take your time."

Liu Yiren was full of excitement.

Duan Yiyi once told her, there’s nothing to fear from Qin Yi’s mischievous smile, but be wary if he purses his lips; it means someone is in for a disaster.

Liu Yiren eagerly opened a bottle of water and handed it to Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi, do you want some fruit?"

The VIP seats came with drinks and fruit.

"Grapes, please!"

"Got it!" Liu Yiren picked up a bunch of grapes, sat next to Qin Yi, plucked one, and held it to his mouth, "Ah... open up!"

Qin Yi opened his mouth, the grape found its way in, and he contentedly enjoyed the attentive service of the Liu family’s young lady.

Liu Feng and Liu Yun’s lips twitched; Liu Yiren, known as the little Witch in the Liu Family, actually had such a well-behaved side.

"Qin Yi, let me introduce the layout of the auction hall to you."

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Liu Yiren fed Qin Yi grapes while explaining the auction hall’s layout to him.

After Liu Yiren finished speaking, Qin Yi curiously asked, "What’s the background of this Run Tian Auction? There are quite a few Qi Cultivators present."

Liu Feng quickly explained, "This Run Tian Auction House is owned by the Wan Family. The old man of the Wan Family is also a Qi Refiner, with a wide circle of friends, so many from the circle are here."

"Moreover, the auction house itself is a grey area business! Some of the Qi Refiners’ items have dodgy sources, so they’ll commission Run Tian Auction."

"Because the old Wan master has a good reputation in the circle, with many friends, everyone gives face. Thus, Run Tian Auction House has become a great place for people in the circle to fence their goods."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, so that’s why. No wonder there are so many Qi Cultivators.

"This business must be quite profitable, right?"

Liu Feng nodded, "Most of the Qi Refiners’ items are of dubious origin. Ordinary auction houses wouldn’t dare take them on, and even if they did, they couldn’t keep them secure. Only Run Tian Auction House dares to take them, so their commission is much steeper than other auction houses’. They take a commission of thirty percent."

"Jeez, that’s daylight robbery."

Liu Feng laughed, "There’s no other way! It’s a willing party hitting a willing victim."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "With such a lucrative business, as the overlord of Qianxing City, the Liu Family is willing to hand it over to others?"

Liu Yiren fed the last grape to Qin Yi and smiled, "Run Tian Auction House has forty percent of its shares belonging to our Liu Family."

Qin Yi: "..."

"No wonder your three grandfathers were so generous, letting me bid at will, it turns out it’s our own business."

"Can I ask, how much does this auction house make in a year?"

Liu Feng laughed, "That’s a commercial secret."

Qin Yi pursed his lips, "Oh come on, my stomach hurts, probably ate too many grapes, I better head back."

Liu Yiren glared at him, "Don’t play me, I know what you’re up to."

"Alright! It’s no big deal if I tell you. I’ve heard from my eldest grandpa that last year Run Tian’s turnover was over fifty billion."

"That much?" Qin Yi exclaimed, causing the people below to look over.

Liu Yiren looked annoyed, "Can you keep your voice down? Haven’t you seen money before? But, I love seeing your naive look."

Qin Yi was completely taken aback; fifty billion, what kind of concept is that? If all converted to cash, he could count until his hundredth birthday.

Now that Xia Group has hitched onto the Duan Family’s coattails, they only made a little over a billion last year.

Man, comparing people really is disheartening, comparing goods is just garbage disposal.

Liu Feng felt speechless, this commercial secret just got exposed by their young lady.

Wealth should not be flaunted!

"Five hundred billion is turnover, after deducting all sorts of expenses, there’s not much left."

Qin Yi curiously asked, "How much is ’not much’?"

Liu Feng hurriedly said, "Really not much, just a little, nothing worth mentioning!"

"I heard from my eldest grandpa we only got over four billion in dividends last year."

Liu Feng felt like crying, thinking: Young lady, could you not be so honest?

Qin Yi felt restless, "You call over four billion ’not much’, ’nothing worth mentioning’? What kind of family are you? Do you have oil fields or mines at home?"

"We do! I heard from my eldest grandpa, our family has a few mines and oil fields in some country, but I didn’t ask how many exactly." Liu Yiren earnestly responded.

Qin Yi: "..."

He just wanted to exclaim, "Holy crap."

Liu Feng covered his face, praying: Young lady, please stop talking! Can’t you see his eyes are already turning green?

In Yinfeng City, Qin Yi ripping off those Qi Cultivators who came to challenge him was even worse than Zhou Bapi. This matter has spread throughout the circle.

From this, it can be seen, this guy is not to be trifled with. If this conversation continues, it’s unclear if the Liu Family will suffer from a serious trick.

"Yiren, just how much money does your family have?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.

"Ahem..." Liu Feng’s hackles raised, he quickly coughed to signal Liu Yiren, not to disclose it.

Liu Yiren thought for a moment and earnestly answered, "I really don’t know, who has the time to count how much money their family has? Anyway, I’ve never lacked money since I was a child."

"Holy crap..." Qin Yi was stunned.

Listen, is this even human speech? Who takes the time to count how much money their family has?

Qin Yi wanted to say, not knowing how much money one’s family has is what’s strange, unless it’s so much that it can’t be spent and they don’t care.

It seems the Liu Family is just such a family with too much money to spend.

Qin Yi squinted his eyes and smiled, "Yiren, I love counting money the most. How about I help you count how much money your family has?"

"You?"

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "I’m just counting, I absolutely won’t steal! My hobby is counting money."

"You misunderstood, I’m not afraid of you stealing! It’s just that you alone can’t possibly finish counting."

"I remember when I was a kid, it wasn’t like now with Alipay and WeChat everywhere. Back then mostly cash was used, one time grandpa used a car to bring back a lot of money, almost filling up a room."

"Three grandpas, with several people, took more than ten days to finish counting."

Qin Yi: "..."

Gulp!

He swallowed hard subconsciously.

Gosh... using a car to transport money?

Filling up an entire room?

Taking several people more than ten days to count?

The mere thought of this scene was enough to stir one’s blood.

The most deadly pretense is veiled.
