Chapter 349 - The Miseries of Jianghua

Ever since the incident at the Holy Hand of Traditional Chinese Medicine Competition, Xiao Yi's reputation had skyrocketed. Pen Hall's business started to advance at a tremendous pace. It could be sold for around three batches of words every day. The daily turnover of ten million or so was indeed a terrifying amount of income.

The customers who bought the words carried Xiao Yi's Mo Bao back. He began to show off in his friends circle. As a result, Xiao Yi's Mo Bao began to spread slowly throughout the entire country.

In the upper class society, there was a portion of people. He began to know that there was a Pen Hall in this river, where every word was worth a thousand gold. Although the words were a bit expensive, they were indeed well written. Buying them back and watching over them or giving them to friends and family was a good choice.

For the past few days, Xiao Yi had been spending every ounce of effort in the Pen Hall. He wrote down a few words for Li Qi and the others to install and store in the shop as inventory. Otherwise, if he ever had anything to do, he would have to close his doors when the Pen Hall was out of stock.

That afternoon, Zou Yang returned to Pen Hall with the framed word scroll, his face full of joy.

"What, are you so happy about something?" Xiao Yi had just finished writing, and seeing Zou Yang who was walking in, he asked.

"Big brother." In these past few days, Zou Yang could be said to be enjoying a happy occasion. His yellow hair became even more beautiful. Carefully putting away the framed scroll in his hand, he stretched out his arms and said excitedly: "Big brother, what I am carrying here is not words, but money. These are all piles of money. They're even more valuable than gold bars. "

Zou Yang became more and more excited in the Pen Hall as he watched the profits of the shop increase by leaps and bounds. His entire person once again radiated with the vigor of youth. Every day, he treated his work with extreme zeal. He treated every customer who came into the store like his godfather. That was what he called zeal.

Although Zou Yang's family's condition was not bad, the income from his family's food industry was also quite high. However, all these years, it was his parents who'd been making money. On the contrary, Zou Yang was actually a second generation ancestor who had nothing to do. In Xiao Yi's family, he began to worry about everything as he himself joined. Therefore, Zou Yang treated this as his own career, and integrated it into it. Now, seeing the business in the store gradually improve, he was extremely excited and happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Alright, this is just a small amount of money." Xiao Yi slowly stood up and slowly said: "From now on, enlarge your eyesight a little. "This is just the beginning. In the future, we will be able to earn more money and look at a larger world."

Pausing for a moment, Xiao Yi stood up and walked out, then spoke to Zou Yang who was inside: "You guys take care of the shop, I'll go out to take care of some matters."

Inside the store, Zou Yang nodded his head and then took a deep breath in, sighing from the bottom of his heart: "The turnover for this day is over ten million, and that's even a small amount of money? "Boss, it's indeed boss. My respect for you is like a torrential river, continuous and unending …"

At this time, Xiao Yi was already walking on the main street, and the afternoon sun was shining. It made him feel a bit lazy. Xiao Yi lowered his head, and his delicate and pretty face, furrowed his brows tightly. His hands, which were hanging down, involuntarily clenched into fists. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his palms.

The goal of Xiao Yi's trip this time, was precisely the Jianghua Mansion, the headquarters of the Zhong's group.

Today was the day the chairman of Zhong's group, Zhong Qianmei, declared bankruptcy.

In the Jianghua Mansion, Zhong Qianmei was going to sell all her properties today, and return all the money she had earned to the bank. The huge leading enterprises of the sea and the brilliant Jianghua Group. On such a sunny spring day, she finally collapsed and reached the end of her road.

Even though Zhong Qianmei had to think of a way to endure for so long. However, in the end, it was still unavoidable that this day would come.

Xiao Yi walked to the front of the glorious Jianghua Mansion, and looked at the four golden words. Under the sunlight, it still looked dazzling and shiny.

Xiao Yi recalled that when he first entered this building, even the security guards at the door were all arrogant and despotic, obstructing in every way. In the end, it was Zhong Xiaoyu who came out, and only then did she let herself in.

Now, less than a year had passed. The security guards at the entrance had all disappeared, and the bustling scene of the building was no longer the same as before. It was only an empty building. Even the glass door at the entrance was covered in dust.

Once upon a time, this place was bustling like the capital city of 3000 years ago. In the blink of an eye, everything turned into nothingness.

"Xiao Yu." Xiao Yi softly muttered these two words, his voice low but powerful.

Today, Zhong Qianmei had officially announced the bankruptcy of the Zhong's group, would she recall her daughter who was a genius in business, Zhong Xiaoyu? Xiao Yi's heart was filled with anticipation, the breathing inside her nose became a little heavier. The footsteps that entered this building were quite heavy.

The entire building was empty.

The bankruptcy auction was being held in the main hall on the second floor. Xiao Yi had already memorized the address. He entered through the back door and sat in the middle of the crowd.

"Our Jianghua Group's Medical Machinery Processing Plant in the northern part of the city starts at thirty million. "Now, the auction begins." A hale old man said in a deep voice. The voice was clear and provocative.

Zhong Qianmei, who was sitting beside the old man, wore a plaid shirt with black pants. It seemed that, as usual, she had the appearance of a successful businesswoman. However, her shallow eyebrows frowned. There was no longer the charm of the past; instead, there seemed to be a tinge of sadness in her expression. Her pretty face was covered by a cloud of worry.

He thought about how he had fought in the beginning, and how he had persisted for so many years. In the end, it was all for nothing. From the cold winter to spring, Jianghua Group, who was already on the verge of collapse, finally fell with a kacha sound.

Thinking back to the past, Zhong Qianmei couldn't help but sigh. However, the powerful Zhong Qianmei still did not recall her genius daughter. She did not know what she was persevering at.

"That crappy factory started with a price of 30 million, are you kidding?" Some of the merchants in the hall who were participating in the auction immediately sneered, "It's just a few crappy machines, do you think they are worth anything at this point in time? Do you still think that it is the Zhong Family's world? "In my opinion, that crappy factory in the northern district will cost at most ten million."

"10 million."

Gedeng, Zhong Qianmei's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. A few traces of dejection appeared on her face. The medical apparatus processing plant at the north side of the city could be said to be where Zhong Qianmei started her business from scratch. At that time, a medical machinery factory like that was making money for the Zhong Family. In Zhong Qianmei's words from back then, millions of dollars fell into her pocket the instant she reached out her hand.

However, the world had experienced many vicissitudes of life. This old medical machinery processing plant was gradually becoming unable to adapt to the technology requirements of this new era. After a few technical changes, it still ended in failure. As such, this old medical equipment processing plant gradually began to drag them down.

However, it was a huge factory after all. Factories and machines could all be used in the present. However, Zhong Family's arrears in the bank could no longer be delayed. If this continued, Zhong Qianmei would be sued by the bank. Therefore, Zhong Qianmei finally clenched her teeth and sold off the properties that belonged to him at a low price before paying back the bank's loan.

From then on, she was a strong woman. He was prepared to live a peaceful life in his later years and would never have the will to fight again. According to the pre-arranged auction, this old factory would at least sell for 30 million, which was the only way to repay the bank's loan. They could also save some money to provide to Zhong Xiaoyu who was far away from home.

Actually, thirty million was already very, very low. If it was last year, even if he were to auction it for a hundred million, Zhong Qianmei would not hesitate to reject it. It's just that, after the end of the road, Zhong Qianmei still had to sell it cheaply and at a low price.

Unexpectedly, these old foxes from the business world. At this moment, after hearing the bid price. Unbeknownst to them, they were actually united, preparing to fiercely push down the price once again to take full advantage of the situation.

The old man, who was presiding over this auction, looked at the black mass of people with a look of anticipation: "I think everyone should be very familiar with that old factory in the north of the city. It took up more than a hundred acres of land, and all the production equipment was readily available. A price of thirty million was absolutely as low as the freezing point. If anyone had any intention to bid, they would hurry up and bid. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for us to encounter it the next time. "

Even though the old man's words were full of saliva, the scene was still extremely noisy. Everyone whispered, but no one bid. It seemed like all of them had the Zhong's group in their hands.

You're out of your mind and you're in debt. Right now, we are still not the meat on the chopping board. If we cut the blade horizontally, even if we cut deeper and shallower, it would still be up to us. Therefore, these people weren't in a hurry at all.

Normally, Zhong's group, as a leading enterprise in the sea of martial arts, dominated many small businesses. At this moment, these merchants saw that they had a chance, so they were prepared to take revenge and slaughter this huge temporary company.

Three minutes later, it was clear that no one was bidding. Zhong Qianmei finally took a deep breath and raised her head to look at the Zhong Lao. With a pale face, she used all her strength and slowly said with a heavy voice: "Zhong Lao, starting bid with twenty million."

This was Zhong Qianmei's bottom line. After seeing that no one was bidding, Zhong Qianmei finally decided to lower the starting price. But such a low price made Zhong Qianmei's heart faintly ache.

"A price of 20 million? This is a little too low. " The Zhong Lao who was in charge of the auction looked at Zhong Qianmei with some difficulty.

"If I say 20 million, then it's 20 million." Zhong Qianmei's face sank, and said leisurely: "Now, do we have any other choice?"
