Chapter 117: Seats Bought Before the Game

“You’ve all received the product catalog, right?” William glanced at Richard, who nodded.

The detailed catalog had been handed to them on Sunday and distributed to everyone, including the salesmen hired later. Each of them had received a detailed sales catalog.

It contained most of the goods that would appear at the state consignment auction. Of course, there were also items not listed in the catalog. Those items were kept off the list not only to create surprises, but also to prevent people from having time to prepare.

For example, a house would appear, the very house William was currently living in. The person he had arranged would take that house down. Of course, all of it would be fake. In the end, the buyer would be unable to pay, causing the lot to be passed in, and the consignor would express dissatisfaction and refuse to list it again.

The gimmick would be enough. A luxury villa opening at one dollar was enough to make this consignment auction the focus of society once again. People would not actually care how much it eventually sold for. Instead, their little thoughts would start turning, wondering whether they might have a chance to pick up a bargain.

That was what William needed people to think about, not all those irrelevant things.

After Richard nodded, William naturally found a chair and sat down. He also told the others to sit. This was inside the gymnasium, and tiered seats were everywhere.

They sat in the seats, notebooks in hand, pens ready, looking at William like students, their eyes full of hunger for knowledge and wealth.

William thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then began teaching these “students” a few useful little techniques.

He also mentioned in passing that whoever had the best handwriting should record everything in more detail, because these materials might later become training texts for every new class of “trainees.”

In the end, it was decided that Wood would do it, because everyone said his handwriting was the best.

After assigning that small matter, William raised a question directly. “Under what circumstances do you get angry?”

The sudden question left the young men present stunned for a moment, but soon they began forming their own ideas. Richard was the first to raise his hand. This was also why William valued him so much.

He could not only complete the “homework” William assigned, but also stir up an active atmosphere. Every place needed someone like that. Even if he had not appeared beside William, he would have found his chance to rise one day. Some things were destined.

William pointed at him. Richard said, somewhat smugly, “When someone humiliates me, I’ll definitely get angry.” After saying it, he even interacted proudly with the young fellows behind him.
