The Bid (1)

Chu Xian looked at these seemingly successful men and thought back to a couple of the things Hong Chenghai told him.

The bids for Hai Qing City's fish farms had some unspoken rules, and most of the current leasees of the various fish farms had certain backgrounds; they were able to secure the farms time and time again due to their connections.

Every year, a couple hundred people participated in the bidding, but very few of them ever succeeded.

In order to win, the bidder needed to submit the price they were willing to pay for the farm, and whoever submitted the highest price won.

The people with connections had a huge advantage and were able to find out what other people bid, so they could bid just a bit higher than their competition.
