Chapter 1612: Divine Opponent, Pig Teammate 3

Flying Speed Chinese.

He took the initiative to step forward and greet them, but the person asked hesitantly, "You are..."

"My surname is Huang, and I am the General Manager of Liangxinsnack."

"Pah! Any kind of thing can come here."

The person being accosted, upon hearing that he was the "General Manager of Liangxinsnack," immediately let their face go cold and didn't leave him any face at all.

If it were just one person not giving him face, that would be one thing.

The problem was, every boss he knew acted as if they had discussed it beforehand; as soon as they saw him coming, they would dodge away, just as if they were avoiding a plague.

Everyone's gaze did not hide their disgust in the slightest; Xiao Huang stood lonely in the crowd, feeling very awkward.

At this moment, a businessman who looked quite imposing resolved his awkwardness for him.

"Hello, you are Huang Zong, right? My surname is also Huang; we are family."

The man handed over a business card with a beaming smile.

He was flattered; the man in front of him wore a custom Armani suit, a Rolex gold watch that sparkled, and purely handmade crocodile leather shoes... his whole person revealed one piece of information—he was rich!

To him, being rich was a symbol of status.

The man had just been someone highly sought after, and now that he was taking the initiative to greet him and hand him a business card, he felt he had a great deal of face, and his back straightened up quite a bit without him realizing it!

He took the man's business card, and the titles on it gave him a start.

Chairman of Tianyu Food Group.

President of the Jiangzhou Gourmet Association.

Honorary President of the Nutrition Association.

President of the Worldwide Foundation for Helping Children in Need...

A long, dense list of titles, each one a resounding name; that such a person would take the initiative to strike up a conversation with him made him feel flattered.

The two chatted very congenially; in less than ten minutes, they were as intimate as long-lost relatives, and the man took him wherever he went.

The bidding began, and they took their seats.

Xiao Huang's seat was originally toward the back, but with the care of Chairman Huang, without him having to open his mouth, someone took the initiative to move his seat from the back row to the front row, and the two sat right next to each other.

The host began to read the rules of the bidding; the beginning was all standard official jargon with no substance at all, so people began to chat among themselves below.

Chairman Huang was very talkative; Xiao Huang usually didn't talk much, but when he encountered someone he wanted to curry favor with, he would also have a continuous stream of flattering words, which was also his skill.

The two were chatting heatedly, and Xiao Huang basically didn't hear a word of what the host had read on stage!

Even when the rules were finished and the auction officially began, it was only because others reminded them that the two ended their conversation.

The bidding officially began, with a starting price of three million.

Each time the paddle was raised, the price went up by one hundred thousand; once it started, the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.

At first, it was the restaurant-owning bosses who were bidding, but once the quote entered four million, these small bosses all lost their voices.

What remained was for the business-owning bosses to officially begin.

These people were wealthy and imposing, disdaining to raise the paddle by one hundred thousand at a time; the bids were all going up by three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand.

Very quickly, the bidding price exceeded Xiao Huang's upper limit—five million!

And at this moment, he hadn't even reacted before he lost the opportunity.

Chairman Huang beside him also began to participate, raising his paddle to bid: "Five million five hundred thousand!"

"Chen Xin Snack isn't worth this price; our Chairman said it's worth five million at most," he kindly reminded.

It seemed kind, but in fact, there was also a selfish motive.

The selfish motive was not wanting these big bosses to get involved, so that perhaps he would still have a chance; at least if he raised the paddle once or twice, it wouldn't look too ugly.

He had originally been determined to acquire Chen Xin Snack, but as a result, he didn't even have the chance to call out a price; if this word reached the Chairman's ears, he was afraid he would be kicked out very soon.

"Little brother, I see you are an honest person, so I'll give you the bottom line: Chen Xin Snack is worth at least ten million; your Chairman is lying to you, afraid you'll spend too much money..."

While the two were talking, the bidding was still continuing.

The price was getting higher and higher, all from those wealthy and imposing bosses.

Chairman Huang said: "How about it? You've seen it yourself, right? Which of these business people isn't shrewd? No one will do a losing business; if it weren't worth this price, everyone wouldn't be fighting over it."

Xiao Huang was tempted.

He felt that what Chairman Huang said made a lot of sense.

But he couldn't decide this kind of thing; he had to report it!

So he took out his phone to send a message to Huo Zhenteng, telling him the situation here, but unfortunately, the other party didn't reply!

What was going on?

Why didn't he reply to the message at such a critical time?

What he didn't know was that to prevent information leakage, the signal in the venue was blocked during the auction.

And he was too anxious; he didn't even notice whether his phone had a signal.

Anyway, once the message was written and he clicked send, he assumed Huo Zhenteng could receive it.

The auction was still continuing, and the price had already soared to seven million eight hundred thousand; the Chairman still hadn't replied at all, and he was anxious to the point of desperation.

Chairman Huang beside him also stopped paying attention to him, looking determined to win, and kept raising the price.

Xiao Huang couldn't sit still; he couldn't keep waiting, or there really wouldn't be a chance left.

He finally raised the paddle in his hand: "Eight million."

Once this price was called out, everyone seemed to have discussed it beforehand; they all shut their mouths in unison, and no one raised their paddle again.

The host said loudly: "Eight million, once."

"Eight million, twice."

"Eight million, three times, sold!"

"Bang!" The gavel fell, and Xiao Huang was ushered away to handle the paperwork.

When it came time to pay, Huo Zhenteng's call finally came through, and upon learning that Xiao Huang had won the transfer rights to Chenxin Snack for eight million, he nearly coughed up blood from anger!

"Huang Shiyong, are you a pig? Did you treat my words as wind in your ears? I told you the maximum price was five million, and you went and bought it for eight million. Very good, are you going to cover the extra three million yourself?"

Xiao Huang:...

Cover it himself?

How could that be possible?

Not to mention three million, he didn't even have thirty thousand in his hands.

He didn't dare to talk back, but he couldn't agree to it either; being scolded, he could only humbly explain: "Chairman, please don't be angry, I did it all for your own good. There was a very powerful big boss at the auction, and he told me Chenxin Snack is worth ten million..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted: "Send me your location, I'm coming over immediately."

Huo Zhenteng arrived very quickly.

Because handling the paperwork required him to pay the remaining balance.

At the same time, he also wanted to see who exactly this "very powerful boss" was.

Huo Zhenteng arrived, but Chairman Huang had vanished; Xiao Huang didn't even know when he had left.

The result was not at all surprising: he was scolded severely once again.

He thought of that business card, but after searching the inside and outside of his bag, he didn't find the business card Chairman Huang had given him; it had vanished into thin air.

Xiao Huang wanted to find someone to vouch for him, but everyone had left after the auction ended, and no one would vouch for him.

He had no way to defend himself and could only look at the Chairman pitifully.

Huo Zhenteng suppressed his rage, barely managing not to beat him up on the spot.

Although the price was three million more than expected, as long as the reputation of the Chenxin Snack brand was managed well, it wouldn't be a loss!
