The so-called open bidding means on-site auction.All bidders gather in the trading hall. Every time the public auction staff announces a bid number, the bidders take turns bidding on the spot. Whoever presents the highest bidding price will win the bid.

Compared with hidden bidding, explicit bidding lacks many psychological means of guessing prices, and the competition is purely about financial resources and eyesight.

Because of the increase in transaction prices of concealed-label wool materials in the past few days, coupled with the emergence of high-priced wool materials in turn, all jade merchants knew that the increase in jade prices had become a certainty, so today's open-label competition has entered from the very beginning. The bidding has become extremely fierce. For a piece of slightly better material, it often takes dozens of bids before the auction is finally concluded.

This made the temperature of the entire venue seem to rise ten degrees out of thin air. Many merchants with red faces were wiping the sweat from their foreheads with paper towels. One merchant even fainted on the spot and was sent to first aid...

Zhang Jing participated in the open-bid auction from beginning to end. Unfortunately, most of the items that were taken out as open bids were high-quality semi-betting materials or even open-bid materials. As a result, the space where Zhang Jing used his secret skills to pick out leaks was also eliminated. The number was greatly reduced, and coupled with the somewhat fanatical atmosphere in the venue, Zhang Jing ultimately did not take part in the shooting of any piece of material.

However, apart from him, several other members of the Linzhou team purchased some wool materials to varying degrees, mostly around 1 million yuan. It seems that Jin Wang's generosity still stimulated these merchants who came with him.

承和36年西历2015年12月18日16:37召中市安平酒店

Ping An Hotel is located on the outskirts of Zhaozhong City. It is said to be a hotel, but it is just a three-story building opened by local farmers to make extra money. Due to public housing, the hotels in this small city are full, so there are some big houses nearby. Farmers have also cleared out their rooms and put up some old furniture to attract customers.Because it is cheap and does not require real-name registration, many people are willing to stay even though the safety conditions are poor.

In a room facing the street on the second floor of the hotel, nine dark-skinned men dressed as locals were gathered in front of a round table, eating a plate of peanuts and drinking two bottles of the local specialty "Zhaozhong Laojiao". The place was filled with smoke and a choking smoke.

"Brother, I've already made inquiries. Those Linzhou visitors are definitely leaving tomorrow." A thin man with a pointed face picked up a peanut and chewed it in his mouth. He said, and then some Hesitantly asked: "However, it is said that this time, several powerful dignitaries in Guizhou City have had a hand in it, and the local surnames also said on the road that if we slap them in the face, the future of 'medicine' The business is afraid..."

"If you really want to succeed in this one-man business, what kind of 'pharmaceutical' business will you do in the future..." A middle-aged man with an obvious scar on his cheek, bulging muscles all over his body, and a face with a hint of mixed race characteristics, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Said: "In recent years, all the popular products in the southeast are chemically synthesized products. The local products here in the southwest have begun to lose popularity. The crackdowns on the border have become more and more intense. It is difficult to make money. Last month we I also broke up two brothers and put in all the money I earned... If this continues, will all the brothers be drinking from the northwest?"

"You also know how big the plate that won the public auction this time is. According to the media reports yesterday, one stone alone was sold for 3 million. Those rich people from the southeast are really rich..."

"3 million... MD, how many prostitutes can you have..." A short, stocky man next to him, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal tattoos on his arms, muttered as he reached out and grabbed his crotch.

"Pied blue is enough to kill you on a woman's belly a hundred times!" Hahaha, someone joked from the side.

"If we do well this time, we can at least make more than 10 billion. The most popular people in this public offering are these people. Let them use the money they earn to pay for their lives. Isn't it too much?" Scar Zhong The young man rubbed his wine glass with a smile on his face, but it looked like a sinister smile no matter how he looked at it: "When the time comes, brothers will divide the money and cross the border to hide in Bago. When the wind calms down, we will find a way to transfer it." In the Western Continent, if you have money, everyone will buy land and become a rich man."

"I heard that in some small countries, it's not impossible to spend money to buy a noble..." A man with a mustache and a gentle face said without missing a chance.

"If you really do that, you'll really stand out!" Even the sharp-faced man who was hesitant at first murmured, his eyes seeming to shine.

"I declare in advance that this time, I will only take [-]%, and the rest will be divided equally among all brothers." The middle-aged man with the scar waved his hand proudly.

"Brother Renyi!"

"Big brother really doesn't say anything about how he treats his brothers!"

........................

Generally speaking, in similar underworld gangs, it is common for the boss to get half of it. Therefore, when these words are spoken, there is a sound of flattery around him. After all, according to what the middle-aged man Scar said just now, everyone else can probably get half. Nearly [-] million in cash was distributed. Such a huge sum of money immediately made these people red-eyed.

When everyone's flattery subsided, the middle-aged man with the scar stretched out his hand and smoothed it. Then the smile on his face gradually faded and he glanced around: "Now that's it, it's settled. Which brother is not willing to do this?" It’s not too late to raise the ticket now, so that everyone can get together and relax..."

After looking around and seeing no one answering, the scarred middle-aged man's voice slowed down again:

"Of course, I also know the concerns of the brothers. After all, it is their territory, and we will not storm the venue. There is no airport in this city, and they must go to Guizhou on their return trip. By then, we will only need to stop on the way. Take action..."

承和36年西历2015年12月19日08:32

The Zhaozhong public sale came to an end on the evening of December 12. In the morning of December 18, merchants from all over the country took transportation to embark on their return journey.

Everyone in Linzhou checked out of the hotel early in the morning and embarked on a journey to Guizhou City.For the sake of comfort, they chose to charter a bus this time. They chartered an electric bus that was in relatively good condition. The bus was not full, but because it was a chartered bus, the rest and speed along the way were relatively controllable. This was also the person who came when they arrived. The driver's ferocious driving style and the bumpy mountain road made everyone feel a little frightened.

Since everyone said that they had gained a lot this time, they were full of conversation along the way, talking about the wool they bought this time.Of course, the focus of everyone's talk couldn't help but tend to be Zhang Jing and Jin Wang, who have gained the most this time.

Zhang Jing, in particular, came to the public offering and his net worth suddenly jumped to nearly [-] million. He can be called the real biggest winner of this public offering.In particular, he still had a piece of priceless wool in his hand that he had not yet sold.Even in the Jade Circle, which is accustomed to seeing sudden wealth, such an event that can be called a "miracle" still makes everyone marvel.

In addition, after Zhang Jing became rich overnight, he showed an unparalleled humility and friendly attitude, which also made those who have been in the business world for many years and have countless readers increase their evaluation of this young man in their hearts. .Along the way, they all seemed a lot more friendly, and they were obviously willing to get to know each other in depth.

However, while everyone on the bus was in a lively atmosphere, no one noticed that at this time, under the bus they were riding, a round metal device the size of a button was attracting magnetically. way, firmly adsorbed there.

..........................................

Just behind the bus, about one kilometer away, an ordinary-looking silver-gray Feiyu sedan with many scratch marks on its exterior fell far behind the bus of Zhang Jing and others.

"Is the signal clear?" The scar-faced middle-aged man sitting in the back seat of the car asked the co-pilot sitting in front.

"Brother, the signal is pretty good, but this high-end product is different."

"Very good, then follow up and be careful not to alarm them. When you get to the Xiazikou, block the roads at both ends and start in the middle."

..........................................

At noon, I asked the driver to find a roadside parking place. After everyone ate some dry food prepared in advance, the bus started on the road again. The mountains of Nanzhao were full of twists and turns. During the bumps and shakes along the way, everyone became more and more chatty. The sound weakened and started to become a little drowsy. The carriage became quiet. In addition, mobile phones could not receive signals on this mountain road, so many people closed their eyes and leaned on their seats to take a nap.

Suddenly, with a harsh brake sound, the vehicle came to a sudden stop. Mr. Li Xuezhe, who was sitting in the front row of the bus, was not in the habit of wearing a seat belt and was taking a nap. He was hit hard by the inertia. On the seat, his eyes were knocked to the ground. He covered his nose and fumbled for his glasses on the ground with his hands.

There were more than one similar situation. There was a lot of curses in the car. Fatty Jin, who was sitting next to Zhang Jing, also reached out and rubbed his sore right eye. He stood up and frowned and shouted to the driver's seat: "What's going on?" ! How can anyone drive like this?!"

Chapter 1 Kidnapping

The driver in front also rolled down the window angrily, stretched out his head and yelled a few curses in front of him. At this time, some people sitting in the front row had already discovered that just in front of their car, there was a large middle car. The bus was parked there, blocking the way. There were double flashes on the rear of the bus, as if there was something wrong.

The embarrassing thing is that the section they are currently on is the narrowest part of the winding mountain road. The entire mountain road is dug out of the mountain, with cliffs on one side and the road is only wide enough for two cars to pass each other.

The minibus in front of it somehow stopped right in the middle of the road, which directly prevented the bus following it from passing even if it wanted to go around.

After a while, two people slowly walked out of the car in front of them. They stood beside the minibus and squatted and observed for a while, then walked to the side and started making calls with their mobile phones.

One of them even made an apologetic gesture to the bus driver who was swearing behind him.

At this time, a car stopped behind the bus. It was a silver-gray Feiyu brand electric car. A man got out of the car, walked around the bus, and walked towards the minibus in front. Then, two groups of people Then he pointed at the man, as if discussing the vehicle's malfunction.

Because the progress had stopped, the passengers on the bus also looked over. The female tour guide named Wang sitting behind the driver couldn't help but ask the driver what was wrong with the vehicle in front of him?

So, in order to confirm the situation, the driver of the bus simply pulled the handbrake, opened the door and got out of the car. He walked towards the people surrounding the minibus in front and asked questions as he walked, wanting to know what happened. What.

At this time, many passengers on the bus also stood up and observed the progress of the incident through the windows.

The driver walked up to the seemingly broken down minibus and asked what happened. One of the drivers pointed at the bottom of the car and said something.

The bus driver immediately lowered his head and turned his head sideways, as if he wanted to observe. But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

Then I saw one of the short, stocky men who had been standing nearby and got off the Feiyu electric car at the back of the bus. Suddenly he took out a pistol from his inner pocket and without any warning, pointed it at the back of the driver's head. The trigger was pulled.

The bus driver didn't take any precautions in advance. After a short gunshot, he threw himself to the ground without saying a word, twitching slightly, and dark red blood immediately poured out...

The female tour guide who had been standing in the bus leaning forward to check when she saw this scene, screamed in surprise, took a few steps back in fright, tripped over the steps in the bus and fell to the ground.

The gunfire also alerted other passengers in the car, and for a moment, everyone was in chaos.At the same time, the man who fired the gun quickly came to the bus, got on the bus from the open cab, and took control of the driver's seat.

On the bus, a strong young man who was sitting in the front row reacted quickly and tried to rush up to grab the driver's seat. However, the man with the gun raised his hand and shot him in the face, knocking him down on the spot.

Zhang Jing frowned. He was no stranger to the young man who was knocked down. He was a fellow who came with Lu Yangzhong. He was quite strong. It was said that he had practiced kung fu a few times. He had a good temper and was a hard-working young man.

"Everyone sit in their seats and don't move. Anyone who moves will be beaten to death!"

The man looked at the people in the carriage fiercely, scolded in Mandarin with a strong accent, and then turned the gun and pointed it at everyone. Seeing the muzzle of the gun moving over, everyone in the carriage sat down again, but their faces were full of Panic.

At the same time as the first gunshot was fired, another person got off the minibus in front, and two more people got off the Feiyu electric vehicle behind, both holding firearms in their hands, and one even had a knife on his face. The scarred middle-aged man is holding an AR-128 assault rifle made by the Norman Empire.This is an old-fashioned, but durable weapon. It is one of the largest-selling military rifles in the world. It has long been withdrawn from active service, but it is still often seen in drug trafficking organizations in border areas.

Jin Wang, who was sitting next to Zhang Jing, had already sat back on his seat. His face was frighteningly blue, and big beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead. He actually murmured: "It's over, it's over..."

"Are we encountering robbers?" Zhang Jing lowered his voice and whispered.

"Isn't this obvious..." Jin Wang said with a sad face: "This is setting a trap for us... They are targeting us!"

"Fat man, didn't you say that this public sale has been spread on the street? Why is there such a thing..." Ma Bo, who was sitting in the front seat, was also anxious. He lowered his head and asked Jin in the back seat through the seat. prosperous.

"How do I know..." Jin Wang is full of regret now. In fact, this time Linzhou came here to explore the water depth of Xinpan, and did not intend to act in a high-profile manner.In addition, we have received some guarantees from certain levels, so no more security personnel have been prepared.After all, the entire team adds up to about ten people, which can give people a sense of security.But he didn't expect that he would be in the limelight by accident, and now it seems that he is indeed being targeted.

"I'm so careless... I'm so careless..."

"Zhong Weng! Zhong Weng!!"

"Brother Zizhong!! What's wrong with you?!"

Li Xuezhe, who was in the front row, couldn't breathe. Suddenly his head tilted and he fainted, frightening the people around him into panic.

At this time, the door on the other side of the car was also opened, and the scar-faced man holding an assault rifle strode into the car. He was followed by two people, one of whom was a man holding a military multifunctional dagger with a similar face. The fierce short man with tattoos all over his bare thick arms looked like he was not a kind person at first glance, while the other person looked like a sharp-faced man holding a pistol.

"I'm glad to meet all my friends from Jiangnan. You can call me Scar Li. I don't like to be noisy, so I hope everyone can be quiet..."

The female tour guide sitting in the front row was shaking like chaff at this time, her face was full of tears, and she covered her mouth with both hands. However, the sobs still came out uncontrollably, and she was quiet. The audible drop of a pin inside the cabin appears quite clear.

"Bang!" There was another gunshot, and the female tour guide had a bullet hole on her forehead, and then she fell to the ground with her eyes blank.

"You see, I don't have much patience, so I don't want anyone to make things difficult for me..." Scarface's face was still full of smiles, and there was nothing strange about killing someone.

Seeing that there was no more sound in the car, the scar-faced man nodded with satisfaction and made a few gestures to his accomplices outside the car.Immediately afterwards, the man who had previously occupied the cab closed the doors on both sides, started the bus again, and the vehicle started slowly.

Among the other two people who got into the car with him, the sharp-faced man holding a pistol quickly walked to the back of the car, leaning on a chair and looking at the people in the car eagerly.

At the same time, in the front and rear of the bus, the other robbers also got on the bus, and the body of the bus driver on the ground was thrown into the cliff beside it.

Immediately afterwards, the minibus in front started first, followed closely by the bus, and finally the Feiyu electric car came behind. Like two cars escorting one car, the three cars started to move forward.

"Very good. Now, please hand over your cell phones. If you have two cell phones, take out both. If I find someone hiding their cell phones, don't blame me for being unkind..." Big In the carriage of the bus, Scarface waved his hand after finishing speaking, and another man beside him began to collect mobile phones along the aisle in the middle of the bus. Due to poor communication here, during the emergency just now, There is no one who can pass the information on.At this time, under the threat of black guns and sharp daggers, everyone could only hand over their mobile phones honestly.Even Zhang Jing didn't do anything unusual and silently handed over his mobile phone.

"Then, please close the curtains next to you. From now on, no one is allowed to open the curtains..."

Just after the bus restarted, behind the mountain road where the bus was located, about a kilometer away, in the middle of the road, a red car with a double jump broke down and was parked in the middle of the road. It was lying under the car for repairs. The driver was talking about something, and the walkie-talkie in his arms suddenly rang. After taking out the walkie-talkie and listening to a few words, the driver quickly climbed out from under the car, clasped his fists towards the several drivers waiting around who were blocked in the road and said: "It's repaired and it's ready to go. Sorry, sorry!"

As he spoke, he opened the driver's door and climbed in, then started the vehicle and drove forward, causing the traffic blocked behind him to move.

And the same scene also appeared in the middle of the road somewhere in front of the mountain road where the bus was...

....................................

"Desperado, desperado..." Jin Wang, who was sitting next to Zhang Jing, was obviously frightened by the cruel scene just now. He muttered and kept wiping his face with his hands as if he couldn't wipe it dry. sweat.

At this time, Zhang Jing quietly nudged Jin Wang next to him with his elbow, and whispered: "Brother Fuyuan, Brother Fuyuan?"

"Huh?" Jin Wang didn't look away and responded softly from his throat.

"If we kill these gangsters, is it considered self-defense?" Zhang Jing whispered.

"Of course..." Jin Wang responded in a low voice, and then he realized something. The look of horror on his face became even more frightened. He couldn't help turning his head and said anxiously: "Hongjian, what do you want to do? Don't mess around. I know you have skills, but these people have guns, don’t risk your life!”

"What are you doing? No chatting allowed!" Jin Wang's actions caught the eye of the man holding a dagger who was patrolling the carriage. He walked over and made several gestures with the dagger in front of Zhang Jing.

"This good man, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..." Jin Wang on the side quickly raised his hands and bowed in a low voice. The man threatened a few more words, then turned and walked away.

"Hongjian, don't be stupid..." Seeing the man leave, Jin Wang reached out and patted Zhang Jing's knee again, and whispered quickly.

Zhang Jing nodded slightly, but his face was calm. He didn't know what he was thinking. Jin Wang couldn't help but become more nervous. He was afraid that the little brother next to him would jump up the next moment and be killed. Randomly shot to death...

....................................

The bus was driving forward at a normal speed. Except for the cab, the curtains of the rest of the windows in the car had been closed. Therefore, even if a car passed near the bus, it would not be visible from the outside. what is the problem.

The previous murder on the mountain road seemed to have not attracted anyone's attention.In fact, except for the people in the three vehicles, there were indeed no other passing vehicles present when the murder occurred.

Zhang Jing was sure that Jin Wang was right. This was indeed a prepared operation. However, he didn't know whether it was a criminal gang that didn't follow the rules and wanted to make a quick buck?

Or is there some shadow of other forces?If it's the latter, then things may be more complicated to deal with...

Zhang Jing is not worried about his own safety. There are only two things he really cares about:

One is how to solve problems without exposing your specialness?

Second, how to solve the problem without causing heavy casualties as much as possible?

He knows that in the eyes of others, he can be a strong martial arts master, but he cannot be a superman!At least not yet.Unless he is really ready to retreat into the mountains and forests and live among tigers and leopards.

The two gangsters in the carriage besides the driver

Zhang Jing could roughly guess what these gangsters were thinking. They probably wanted to drive the car to a more inaccessible and convenient place, and then slowly attack the people in the car.

....................................

"To tell you the truth, my brothers are a little short of money this time, so I want to ask you to borrow some money to spend. Don't worry, brothers are asking for money, not life. As long as everyone cooperates, everything will be easy." Maybe it's because of the feeling in the carriage. The atmosphere inside was a bit solemn, and the scar-faced man spoke slowly again, and then Gu Zi laughed a few times. No one in the carriage responded, but he didn't take it seriously.

Reaching out and patting the armrest box on the side, the scarred face suddenly said: "I heard that many of you sitting here are big bosses who spend hundreds of millions of dollars without blinking an eye. As for people, I admire such a big boss the most, and I want to get to know you..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people in the carriage, and then his eyes fell on a young man with a pale face and wandering eyes. He pointed at him: "The little brother over there in the blue jacket, come here. .”

"Yes... I'm talking about you, what? Didn't you hear what I said..."

But he saw the young man pointing at himself repeatedly, confirming again and again, and finally stood up. However, his face became paler and his body even trembled slightly.

Chapter 1: Strong Knockdown

Zhang Jing naturally knew this young man. His name was Qian Yu, and he was a fellow who came with Ma Bo.Originally he was here to help, and he usually works diligently, but now it seems that he is really not very courageous.

"Piedana, have a good chat with this little brother." The scar-faced man continued with a smile.

The stocky man with tattoos on his arms was leaning against the car door, playing with the dagger in his hand, and paying attention to the movements in the car. At this time, he heard the words and came over, reaching out to press the somewhat overwhelmed Qian Yu. He took an empty seat in the first row and sat down next to him. Without looking at the corpse of the female tour guide lying in the aisle, he squeezed out a grin on his face and spoke with a strong southwest accent. : "Boy, tell me which bosses here are the richest?"
