there was a huge trick involved here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the case of an anonymous auction, if the auction hadn't started yet, the seller could withdraw the item at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they could afford the breach-of-contract fee for the Crescent Hotel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many people were worried that if Zhang Lin revealed the secret before the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then was it possible that the seller would no longer auction this copper fish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also involved another issue, which was just how astonishing this secret was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the seller didn't withdraw the copper fish, but because the secret inside was exposed, everyone went crazy and wouldn't stop until they bid for the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish, what then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would truly be a battle of the gods, throwing money around like dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m afraid that tomorrow, several major banks in Jingcheng would have to serve these tycoons together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if it were the other scenario, where Zhang Lin revealed the secret after the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then many people would have their own little calculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that bidding for this copper fish would be a bit of a loss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the item would be theirs, everyone would know the secret!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, I’m afraid many people wouldn't go all out to drive up the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the Crescent Hotel, since they had held such a grand auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They naturally hoped for an astonishing transaction price!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then could they truly build their reputation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when and how to say it tomorrow was very particular!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Sheng Sheng Man came here, firstly to express Yin Yin Nanfeng’s sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, it was to ask for Zhang Lin’s opinion on the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin pondered for a moment and said, \"What is your boss’s opinion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Sheng Sheng Man replied, \"The boss’s meaning is naturally that she hopes Mr. Zhang will say it before the auction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, because the boss also doesn't know how astonishing this secret is, so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she wanted Zhang Lin to give a hint in advance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yin Yin Nanfeng could maximize profits based on the magnitude of the secret?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that Yin Yin Nanfeng was a very competent boss of the Crescent Hotel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was simply a treacherous merchant of the new era!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she want to capture all her own guests, but she also wanted to squeeze as much as possible out of Zhang Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on Zhang Lin’s understanding of Yin Yin Nanfeng, she probably wished Zhang Lin would tell her the secret completely and privately first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sheng Sheng Sheng Man’s little face flushed as she stared at him, Zhang Lin found it funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, do you also think your boss is quite a treacherous merchant? You’re even embarrassed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Sheng Sheng Man coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Zhang, everything is according to your wishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Sheng Sheng Sheng Man thought Zhang Lin would refuse directly, Zhang Lin said, \"The secret on the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish is huge; you can tell Yin Yin Nanfeng directly that it is a secret that will make everyone go crazy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I think whether it is said before or after actually makes little difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If she wants to maximize profits, I do have a way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Lin’s words, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What high opinion does Mr. Zhang have? I am all ears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin said, \"It’s very simple: pay money to buy the secret!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever bids for this Snake-Eyed Copper Fish, the decision-making power is given to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for their choice, whether to listen to it themselves or announce it publicly, that is their own business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Sheng Sheng Man was stunned for a moment, then sighed that Zhang Lin’s move was very high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, everyone would bid crazily for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sheng Sheng Sheng Man was also a bit worried; Zhang Lin had said at Sanqing Garden before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would announce the secret of the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish at the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't that be breaking his word to the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew Zhang Lin would just spread his hands and say very nonchalantly, \"What does that have to do with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is your Crescent Hotel’s territory, and besides, I am about to become an employee of the Crescent Hotel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't your boss Yin poach me to tell stories at the Crescent Hotel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a lowly employee, how can I resist the evil forces of capital?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Lin’s sly smile, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man felt more and more that Zhang Lin was cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually pushed all the responsibility onto the Crescent Hotel just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't he afraid that Yin Yin Nanfeng would be unhappy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Lin really wasn't afraid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this move of his was meant to deal with the Wang family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake-Eyed Copper Fish was placed by the Wang family’s ancestor, Wang Wang Canghai, in the Eight-Treasure Heavy Box of the Mirror Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose was to lure high-level grave robbers like Chen Pi A-Si to rob the tomb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that they would follow his route, step by step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Pi A-Si had obtained the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish for so long and still hadn't been able to decipher the secret inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he couldn't go to Mount Mount Zhangbai!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was out of sheer helplessness that he brought out this copper fish to auction and fish for answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see if there were any experts in this world who could crack the secret of the copper fish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, if Yin Yin Nanfeng really used Zhang Lin’s method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this copper fish could be auctioned for an astronomical price!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Chen Pi A-Si didn't have the financial strength to light the sky lamp for the secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Wang family did!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to let Wang Wang Canghai’s plan continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wang family would definitely spare no cost to bid back this copper fish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they couldn't be sure if this fish was bought by a tycoon outside the grave-robbing circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would that person keep the secret hidden because the secret of the copper fish was related to immortality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Wang family must keep all initiative in their own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buyers were also allowed to be anonymous at the Crescent Hotel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what the Wang family valued was for people from the Nine Gates to implement Wang Wang Canghai’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, after bidding for the copper fish, they would choose to let Zhang Lin make the secret public!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wang family doing all this had to be natural, so as not to be suspected by old Chen Pi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they had to prepare a large amount of money to bid for something that was originally their own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what you call losing the wife and losing the soldiers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin estimated that by cooperating with Yin Yin Nanfeng like this once, he would directly achieve financial freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealth accumulated by the Wang family over hundreds of years was probably something even the Crescent Hotel couldn't compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was one sky lamp?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Wang family, it was just a drop in the bucket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, just letting the Wang family light the sky lamp was far from enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zhang Lin found them someone to raise the lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu will appear at the auction as the contemporary Hill Mover leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To light a sky lamp for the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish and fight the lamp battle with the Wang family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the result would definitely be the Wang family blowing out the lamp, the name of the Hill Mover leader would also be thoroughly spread through the sky lamp and the Wang family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how much money Zhang Lin wanted to scam the Wang family out of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all depended on his mood at that time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, whenever he felt the amount was enough, he would just let Yang Lu blow out the lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one-stone-three-birds method was something Zhang Lin only thought of after Sheng Sheng Sheng Man arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Sheng Sheng Sheng Man left, Zhang Lin took another look at the archaeological livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>",1520,"2026-06-16T21:55:26.381Z","2026-06-16T22:03:03.495Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
