130: unreasonable

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

What on earth happened?

Could it be that the owners are not satisfied with the price of 3.1 million?

It was shocking enough that Qin Yun would bid a sky-high price of 3.1 million for a water-damaged warehouse.

The owners' move to refuse the auction was something no one could understand.

This is a clear violation of industry regulations; why would the owners do this?

Could there be something good in this warehouse? Did they see how much Qin Yun cared about it, confirming their judgment, and then regretted it to profit for themselves?

That doesn't make sense either. If they were so optimistic about this warehouse, why transport it all the way to Borton City for auction?

Could it be to freeload off Qin Yun's eye for value?

To do such a thing for a bit of profit, do they not want to stay in the treasure hunting world anymore?

“What exactly is going on? Why are you terminating the auction?”

Julia was furious, stepping forward and pointing at the two men to scold them.

She knew how much Qin Yun cared about this warehouse.

She would never allow such a farcical scene to occur at a Warehouse Auction that everyone had worked so hard to organize.

“We haven't signed a contract yet, so why can't we ship it away? At most, we'll compensate you for the commission. The closing price just now was 3.1 million dollars, so a five percent commission is 155,000 dollars.”

“We'll round it up for you to 200,000 dollars in total. How about we give you an extra 4,500 dollars as compensation?”

The fatter owner smiled and spoke with a completely indifferent expression.

“Who, who cares about your little bit of commission?”

“By doing this, you are destroying the foundation of our Warehouse Auctions. If all Storage Company owners were like you, there would be no need for the Warehouse Auctions we organize to exist. Therefore, we will absolutely not allow this to happen!”

Julia didn't quite understand why these people would go back on their word. By doing so, they would not only be punished by the head office, but they would also be ostracized by everyone, making it difficult for them to participate in the Warehouse Auction industry again.

Would they really bear such a high cost just for a warehouse that Qin Yun favored?

“This isn't a matter of money; it's a matter of credibility in how one conducts oneself. I will absolutely not allow this to happen either. If you still intend to obstruct the normal Warehouse Auction procedures, don't blame us for being impolite!”

Hank also quickly stepped forward to speak up for Qin Yun and his daughter.

“What do you mean? Who gave you permission to do this!”

“Daring to pull such little tricks in Borton City, you must be tired of living!”

“If you break the rules of the auction, neither you nor the warehouse will ever leave Borton City!”

“Daring to cause trouble in such a major event, my House-Bart family will be the first to disagree!”

...The Tycoons in Borton City who had co-initiated the Warehouse Auction were not so easy-going, all questioning the two men with righteous indignation.

If there weren't so many onlookers at the scene, they would have already had their subordinates beat them up.

It wasn't easy for Borton City to have such a large-scale Warehouse Auction event; it would be recorded as a significant chapter in the history of Warehouse Auctions.

Seeing that the Warehouse Auction event was almost over successfully, these two nobodies from who-knows-where dared to come out and cause trouble; they would absolutely not tolerate it.

Everyone was counting on holding such a Warehouse Auction event every year in the future to enhance their social influence.

If their reputation was ruined by these two, the number of tourists and Treasure Hunters from all over the country would decrease significantly.

Their businesses and reputations would be affected, and they would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

If the two owners didn't know what was good for them, they would force the transaction to be completed.

Qin Yun let out a cold laugh, recalling the entire bidding process.

“the young man who made the final bid was also one of yours, wasn't he?”

“If you follow the rules, I won't hold such a small matter against you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite.”

Qin Yun was very angry in his heart; he stepped forward and looked at the two with a cold voice.

He wasn't someone to be easily bullied, and if it weren't for the fact that he desperately wanted to obtain the yongle encyclopedia,

He wouldn't be so polite to these two.

“What's wrong with these two?”

“Who auctions a warehouse like this? This is a clear violation of industry rules!”

“People like this don't deserve to participate in these activities; they will definitely be banned from Warehouse Auctions!”

“Not satisfied with over three million? If they were pulling tricks as Qin Yun said, these two are too shameless.”

“Qin Yun and the others are reacting so strongly; do you think there might be some valuable treasure in this warehouse?”

...Tourists and Treasure Hunters were all very angrily accusing the two owners.

This behavior was truly too shameless; it was exploiting a loophole and standing against everyone, directly harming their own interests, so they would absolutely not allow this to happen.

The two owners also didn't expect that their act of withdrawing from the auction would cause such a huge impact.

If they backed down now and agreed to Qin Yun's terms, they wouldn't be able to hold their heads up in front of their peers.

Moreover, Qin Yun's group cared so much about the warehouse, which meant there must be valuable treasures inside.

For the sake of profit and face, they could only grit their teeth and hold out to the end.

“We haven't signed a contract, so why can't we withdraw?”

“We're even willing to pay compensation, yet you still want to seize the warehouse that belongs to us. Isn't that being a bit too overbearing?”

“This wasn't a Warehouse Auction organized by a Storage Company to begin with. You have no right to punish us or the warehouse. If you try to take it by force, it's an infringement on personal property and is illegal.”

The two of them turned red in the face, shouting their fallacious arguments as loudly as they could.

This was also to bolster their own courage; on someone else's turf, they were doing something that violated Warehouse Auction rules and went against the wishes of the organizers and the public.

They were also afraid of getting beaten up.

“Overbearing? Law?”

“Since you've done such a thing, don't blame me for being impolite!”

“I'll give you one last chance for a fair trade; otherwise, I'll make sure you lose both your money and the goods.”

Qin Yun's tone was calm, yet it carried an air of unquestionable authority.

The two owners' faces turned cold for a moment, but they quickly realized that Qin Yun was just putting on an act to scare them into submission.

Sarcastic smiles appeared on their faces, and they laughed out loud quite insolently.

“Haha, you're killing me! Make us lose both money and goods? You're just a Treasure Hunter, you're not worthy!”

“Just because people say a few nice things to you because of your fame, you've forgotten who you are. You're actually just a slightly more capable Treasure Hunter, you have no real power, and you're nothing in front of us!”

“Without Warehouse Auctions, you wouldn't even count as a garbage picker. You'd have to crawl back to your backward Xia Country.”

“You make a fortune in Warehouse Auctions and don't even know to thank us Storage Companies, and yet you're acting tough in front of us? You're just a piece of shit.”

Instead of feeling ashamed of their actions, the two of them spoke wildly and directly insulted Qin Yun.

The Tycoons who were on good terms with Qin Yun were instantly enraged.

If Qin Yun was nothing, then these two were less than dog shit.

Moreover, the capital, industries, treasures, and connections Qin Yun currently held far exceeded those of these two short-sighted bastards.

“Who do you think you are, saying such things in front of us? Do you want to die?”

“So what if you're backed by a warehouse company? One word from me and I can have you kicked out of the Storage Company!”

“If it weren't for so many people watching, I would have already had someone toss you into the sea for the crap you've done!”

The Tycoons gave the two a disdainful look and walked over to Qin Yun to ask for his opinion.

“Qin Yun, what do you say we do?”

“Just say the word, and I'll make these two bastards pay the price!”

“Aren't they just bullying the people of Borton City? How about I have someone seize the warehouse?”

...Facing the Tycoons' kindness, Qin Yun only smiled faintly.

“Thank you all for your kindness, but you don't need to worry about it. This container already belongs to me, and no one can take it away!”
