Li Yu's words were a bit resentful, like a young man who was pretentious but not valued by his elders. The "Eight Great Kings" he inadvertently said made Jie Hongming feel terrified. Doesn't this mean that Cai Meilin's subordinates have at least eight extremely capable subordinates, and their status is still above Li Yu's beloved son and nephew, and at least it should be at the level of department managers. The cultural and entertainment store has eight department managers, and its scale can be imagined. It seems that it is indeed a strong enemy.

"Does the Eight Great Vajras you mentioned include the big man I have met today?" Jie Hongming asked with a kind face.

Li Yu obviously regarded Jie Hongming as a close-know grandfather, and he had to pay for anything he knew. He shook his head and said, "Are you talking about Brother Dong? He is not the Eight Great King Kongs, he is Boss Cai's personal bodyguard. Mr. Jie, I tell you, don't say it out. Brother Dong used to be a guard for the national leaders. His kung fu could not find an opponent in the entire Yuhai."

"So powerful?" Jie Hongming said in accordance with Li Yu's words, "Then have you learned a few tricks from him?"

"I've learned it." Li Yu said proudly, "He has taught me all the way to Baguazhang."

"Not bad, you have a foundation, and with such a famous teacher, you will definitely become a martial arts master in the future." Jie Hongming gave Li Yu a fascination. In his opinion, this child must have a dream of martial arts. If he uses a few words to compliment him, he will definitely be so happy that he can't find him.

Sure enough, after Jie Hongming said this, Li Yu's face was filled with joy, so he talked more about Hongbaozhai. According to his description, Hongbaozhai is the largest cultural relics business in Yunjiang Province, and has contacts with many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. Boss Cai is an extremely arrogant person. No one can compete with him for anything he wants to take.

"So, did you Boss Cai see anything you like this time?" Xie Hongming asked.

"Well..." Li Yu suddenly became speechless, as if he realized that he was talking too much, revealing his boss's secrets. He said silly: "Actually nothing is there... Boss Cai came to A Country this time. He just came to relax and just take a few things back."

Jie Hongming laughed and said, "Little brother, are you hiding it from me? I can see that your boss Cai is interested in that Golden Buddha, right?"

"Nothing..., really, there isn't. You... don't say it was me." Li Yu explained in a hurry, but he became darker and darker as he drew.

Jie Hongming shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I just feel that you are in love with my little brother. I will say a few more words to you. How could a person like Boss Cai look down on someone like me? He can't talk to me at all."

"Hehe, this...is hard to say." Li Yu smiled foolishly, as if he was accepting the statement of understanding Hong Ming.

"Come on, little brother, this is for you, it's just a gift for you." Jie Hongming took out a small object from his arms and stuffed it into Li Yu's hand.

Li Yu was startled. After careful examination, he found out that what Hong Ming gave him was a small jade pendant. It was also carved with a statue of the flying god, with a white and blue jade color. It was also a light yellow color, which should be an antique. Li Yu would sometimes go to Hongbaozhai to take a walk and know the price of cultural relics. He knew that such a jade pendant could be worth about a few thousand yuan, so Xie Hongming gave him a gift, which was quite valuable.

"Old Master Jie, isn't this suitable?" Li Yu said stammeringly, holding the jade pendant.

"Oh, it's worthless little play. Just treat it as a fun thing." Xie Hongming said inadvertently.

"I...I didn't bring anything." Li Yu touched his body, as if he was embarrassed that he could not give a gift back.

Xie Hongming waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite. Meeting is fate. By the way, you have been out for so long, shouldn't it be time to go back? Will Boss Cai look for you?"

"Yes, yes, I have to go back first." Li Yu agreed, waved to Jie Hongming, and jogged back to his tent.

Xie Hongming walked around twice, then slowly returned to the tent. As soon as he entered the door, his leisurely expression quickly closed down, sat on the edge of the bed with a serious expression, and reported to Saburo Sei: "Mr. Sei, things are not good."

"What do you mean?" Saburo Sei's heart skipped a beat, put his head over and asked Xie Hongming.

Xie Hongming said: "I went to see Katsuurakawa. It took him a long time to talk, and then he agreed to consider whether to cancel the auction and sell the Golden Buddha to us directly. However, the price he offered was not low, it was 9 million US dollars."

"9 million!" Saburo Sei was anxious, "How is this possible? This is simply blackmail!"

Xie Hongming said: "He saw that we had competition with Boss Cai, so he wanted to make profits. He said that if the auction was held, with Boss Cai's strength, he might have paid more than 15 million US dollars to buy this Golden Buddha. We can't afford this price."

Xie Hongming was talking lies with his eyes open. He knew that Saburo Sei could not confront Katsuurakawa. He had the final say on how much Katsuurakawa offered. He lowered the price in front of Katsuurakawa and raised the price in front of Saburo Sei, with the purpose of creating a very valuable feeling that he wanted to make Saburo Sei feel that he had done something amazing.

"Do you think Boss Cai would really pay 15 million to buy such a golden Buddha?" asked Saburo Sei.

Jie Hongming nodded: "I just met Boss Cai's young follower outside. His name is Yu Li. He is indeed a child who doesn't know anything. I gave him a flying jade pendant, and he told me everything about Boss Cai's situation."

As he said that, he told Saburo Sei a little more and more to exaggerate the words he had drawn from Li Yu, exaggerating Cai Meilin's financial resources and domineeringness. Saburo Sei became more and more disgusted as he heard it. He was already a little suspicious of Cai Meilin's identity. When he heard Hong Ming's statement, he really wanted to surrender directly.

"The current plan is to stop the Golden Buddha auction. I will go to Katsuurakawa and tell him about it and let him take the Golden Buddha out of the auction list." Xie Hongming said.

"Can he agree?" asked Saburo Sei.

"The merchant always considers the interests. If we can give him some help, he will be willing to hand over the Golden Buddha to us." Xie Hongming said.

"Okay, Mr. Xie, I'll ask you to do this. After the matter is done, I will thank you very much." Saburo Sei looked at Xie Hongming and said solemnly.

"How dare you? This is Mr. Sei's instructions. I have to do it for him no matter what." Jie Hongming said piously.

Let’s talk about Li Yu, who fooled Hong Ming into a big mess and earned a jade pendant for nothing. He was so happy. He returned to his tent with laughter. As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by Cai Meilin and Dong Bolin.

"What's going on? Are you picking up the treasure?" Cai Meilin asked with a smile.

"Aren't you picking up treasures?" Li Yu raised the jade pendant that Jie Hongming gave him in his hand and said, "Look, I picked it up."

"Pick it up!" Dong Bolin jumped up, "Is there such thing to pick up here?"

Li Yu told Xie Hongming everything, and Cai Meilin's brows frowned and said, "It seems that these little Japanese are determined to achieve it, and I don't know if the trick you said can scare them back."

Li Yu said: "As far as I know, the Japanese have always been smart in calculating and will not do anything without benefits. If they feel that there is no chance of winning with us, then they may not dare to pay too high prices. When it comes to auction, we bid more decisively, don't drag it on, and scare them with momentum. This is our only chance."

Dong Bolin said with a dark face: "Before I came out, Mr. Chen explained to me. The highest price we can pay for this Golden Buddha is 7 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 45 million RMB. No matter how high the price is, we can't bear it anymore. I don't know what the psychological endurance of these Japanese men is, so don't really take it with us at that time."

Cai Meilin shook her head and said, "I think their ability to withstand is probably more than 7 million yuan. This auction will definitely last forever. Old Dong, don't worry, it really doesn't work. I will add 2 million to in, and I will really cost 9 million US dollars. I guess the Japanese will not be able to hold on."

"How can this work?" Dong Berlin said, "How can you use your money?"

"Even if I have made some contribution to the country, won't it be possible?" Cai Meilin said.

The two were arguing, and suddenly heard someone greeting outside the tent. Cai Meilin opened the curtain and walked out, and saw that the person standing outside was the tattooed man he had seen before.

"Boss Cai, let me ask, are you interested in that golden Buddha?" asked the tattooed man.

"What?" Cai Meilin asked without comment.

The tattooed man said, "Boss we are the boss, asked me to pass on a message. At tomorrow's auction, the golden Buddha will not be sold openly, but will be sold secretly."

"Cei Meilin was stunned, "Why?"

The so-called secret auction is also an auction method. Unlike public bidding, this method is that the parties participating in the bidding write down the price of an intention and hand it over to the auctioneer. The auctioneer takes the highest bidder as the winner according to the bid level of each company. The trick of this auction method is that you don’t know what price others will pay, because there is no chance to go back on your word, so you can only write the highest price in your mind. If others don’t plan to pay this price at all, you will lose money in vain.

Of course, the method of secret bidding is also risky to the auctioneer. If the auctioneer underestimates the determination of other companies and then quotes a low price, the auctioneer will also suffer losses.

In the current situation, Cai Meilin and the others have realized that Saburo Seri is determined to win the Golden Buddha and will definitely offer a high price. So if you want to compete for the Golden Buddha, you can only fill in a price that is against the will, and you cannot guarantee that you will be able to win the auction.
