n842 Mr. Ye’s Opinion Is the Xu Family’s Opinion

nSmith did not seem to notice Chen Qiushan’s expression. He continued to stare at Ye Feng.

n“The first plan might take a long time. You should understand the principle of rarity. If we take out so many gold ingots at once, the value will be greatly reduced. We have to auction them in batches.”

nYe Feng looked at him calmly. “How long will it take?”

nSmith pondered for a moment and gave an answer. “At least a year.”

nYe Feng’s lips curled into a sneer. He asked noncommittally: “What about the second one?”

nSmith raised a second finger. “The second plan is that our Sotheby’s Auction House will buy all of your gold ingots at a price of 800,000 yuan each. As for how to deal with them, that’s up to our auction house. Mr. Ye, you can get the money immediately.”

nAfter Ye Feng heard this, the cold smile on his face became even stronger. “As far as I know, this gold ingot is worth at least 1.1 million. Are you treating me like a fool?”

nIf he really followed the price he offered, he would lose at least 150 million. Was he taking advantage of him?

nHowever, Smith’s expression remained the same. “Mr. Ye, you should know that there is no one else in the entire South Guangdong Province who has the ability to accept so many gold ingots at once other than Sotheby’s.”

nYe Feng’s gaze darkened. “Are you threatening me?”

nChen Qiushan panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere. “Brother Ye, Mr. Smith didn’t mean it that way…”

nHowever, Smith did not appreciate his kindness at all and interrupted him directly. “That’s what I meant.”

n“Mr. Ye, you should know the power of Sotheby’s. If you don’t cooperate with us, I guarantee that the other auction houses in South Guangdong Province won’t dare to accept your items.”

nYe Feng heard his undisguised threat, he was so angry that he laughed. “Really? Then let’s make a bet and see if I can sell this batch of goods without your Sotheby’s?”

nChen Qiushan was anxious like an ant on a hot pan. Smith was not sure, but he knew Ye Feng’s power.

nAt least in Zhonghai and Yang Cheng, he had absolute power.

nIf they really fell out with him, Sotheby’s would definitely be the one who would suffer the most in the end.

nNiu Sidun, Gao Junming, and the Ye family’s mistakes were still fresh in his mind.

n“Smith, I am the person in charge of the Yang Cheng branch. You have no say in this.” In his anxiety, he did not care if the other party was a leader or not. He directly looked at him coldly.

nSmith also looked at him coldly. “I’m very suspicious now. Did you collude with him in secret and do something that harmed the company’s interests?”

n“You’d better remain silent and wait for the head office to investigate.”

nChen Qiushan was completely enraged. “I, Chen Qiu Shan, have a clear conscience. I have never done anything that would harm the company. How can I allow you to slander me?”

n“Whoever wants to be the person-in-charge of the South Guangdong branch can do it. I quit!”

nSmith panicked.

nHe was sent to Yang Cheng by the head office to investigate the reason for the decline in performance. He had no right to interfere in the affairs here.

nIf Chen Qiushan, the head of the branch, was forced to resign, it would be difficult to explain to the head office.

nAt the same time, he was also a little puzzled. What was so special about this young man surnamed Ye?

nWhy would Chen Qiushan resign rather than offend him?

nJust as he was puzzled, there was a knock on the ward door.

nXu Jingxin immediately went to open the door and saw two men standing outside.

nOne of them was older, about sixty years old. He had a square face and a refined aura.

nThe other was younger, probably in his thirties. He gave off a wretched feeling, especially when he looked at her. She hated him very much.

n“Hello, is Mr. Ye Feng staying here?” the old man immediately asked respectfully.

n“Yes, why are you looking for him?” Xu Jingxin immediately asked.

nBefore the old man could reply, Ye Feng’s voice was heard: “Are they looking for me? Let them in.”

nXu Jingxin immediately took a step back to let the two of them in.

nWhen Ye Feng saw these two people, he was stunned.

nHe didn’t recognize the old man, but the younger one was Xu Pengcheng, who had previously pestered him and Chen Xuan.

nLater on, during the land auction, he was cheated by him once. After that, he had never seen him again.

nWhy did these two suddenly look for him today?

nThe old man had just entered the ward and was about to speak.

nAt this moment, Smith suddenly shouted in surprise, “Mr. Xu? Is it really you?”

nThe old man could only turn to look at him with a trace of doubt on his face. “You are?”

nHe saw that this foreigner was in Ye Feng’s ward, he probably had a good relationship with Ye Feng, so he did not dare to neglect him.

nSmith hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand. “Mr. Xu, don’t you remember me? I’m William Smith. We met at Boss Qin’s party.”

nThe old man tried to recall, but he couldn’t remember. There were so many foreigners at the gathering, how could he remember?

nAnyway, in his opinion, these old men all looked the same and had similar names. It was not very clear who was who.

nHowever, since the other party had already put it this way, he could only pretend to be confused. “Oh, it’s Mr. Smith. Hello, hello. I didn’t expect you to be friends with Mr. Ye?”

nSmith knew Mr. Xu’s strength, especially his influence in Peng City.

nSotheby’s was preparing to set up a branch in Peng City and needed a local big shot like Mr. Xu to take care of them, so they were very respectful to him.

nHowever, when he heard the old man’s question, he just smiled awkwardly. “Not really. I’m discussing a business deal with Mr. Ye, but it seems that Mr. Ye has a lot of opinions about our Sotheby’s.”

nHe could tell that he was still dissatisfied with Ye Feng’s attitude earlier.

nWhen the old man heard this, his smiling face sank and he immediately pulled his hand back.

nClearly, he was afraid that if he got involved with him, Ye Feng would vent his anger on him.

n“Our Xu family follows Mr. Ye’s lead. Mr. Ye’s opinion is our Xu family’s opinion.”

nSmith’s expression changed drastically when he heard this.
