she produced a bidding paddle and handed
it to Gian G saying this is your auction

accepted the paddle which bore the
number 43 indicating that many had come
before them she examined it carefully
and then safely stored in her space

stood up and left the tent with Don ku.
they exited the tent Gian marveled at
the vast space within such a seemingly
small structure curious where one could
purchase such a tent let us head to the
waiting lounge now following the signs
they found the waiting lounge which was
already populated with individuals
resting and awaiting the auctions
commencement the lounge was decorated
comfortably featuring soft sofas coffee
tables and various potted plants and
decorations that created a welcoming
atmosphere giangi and donu found an
empty seat and surveyed their
surroundings observing other stall
owners and buyers shortly a server
approached them with a smile saying
welcome to the waiting lounge I am your
server how may I assist you Gian G took
the menu from the server and began to
peruse it with donu the menu was
extensive overwhelming the eyes with
countless options after a moment's
hesitation giangi said I would like a
caramel macchiato please then I shall
have a bloody moon donu added after
noting their drink orders the server
smiled and said please hold on
momentarily there are complimentary
fruits and light dishes available over
there for you to select from after
speaking the server turned to leave and
giangi leaned back on the sofa donu
leaned closer and whispered an do you
think we can succeed in the auction I
see many familiar faces they are
well-known Merchants giangi glanced
around the lounge and indeed noticed
several individuals dressed like dunu
likely fellow Merchants it's hard to say
not everyone attending the auction is
wealthy right donu shook her head saying
not at all the very wealthy are usually
here to shop at the market it is only
Merchants like us those with moderate
means hoping to strike it rich who come
to bid for stalls deoni nodded
thoughtfully if that is the case it
should be much easier we need not worry
too much aside from those few notable
Merchants before long the server
returned with their drinks saying here
are your beverages enjoy just as the
server was about to leave Giani called
out please wait a moment the server
smiled and asked is there is there
anything else you need do you know how
many stalls will be auctioned this time
the server maintained a standard smile
responding there will be a total of 10
stalls auctioned each in different
locations point1 is at the heart of the
market it was previously priced too high
which is why it is being auctioned now
gian's eyes lit up at this information a
stall in the central location would
attract the most customers and naturally
business would flourish there she turned
to Don kuay and both shared a look of
barely contained excitement may I ask
what the starting bid for that Central
stall was gon G continued to inquire the
server patiently replied the starting
bid is determined based on the Stalls
location and size generally those in
central positions have higher starting
