I had nothing to say all night, and the next day was the day when the auction began.

Except for the Golden Buddha who changed to secret auction, the rest of the cultural relics were still auctioned in public. This time, among the cultural relics merchants who came to Omura, except Saburo Sei and Cai Meilin, no one was interested in the Golden Buddha, so the secret photography did not cause any storm. It was even approved by several cultural relics merchants, believing that this was a practice that complies with the rules.

Cai Meilin expressed his protests to Katsuurakawa several times and threatened to withdraw from the auction. However, in the end, he still acted reluctantly and went to the auction site, and participated in the auction of several items. The impression that Shengurakawa was that he actually didn't care much about the Golden Buddha.

The entire auction lasted for a whole day, and it was not until the evening that Katsuurakawa began to announce the bidding for Jinfo. Cai Meilin, according to the agreement with Li Yu and others, quoted a price of 7 million US dollars and muttered to hand over the bidding order to the trader. When handing the order, he repeatedly asked for public bidding to prevent behind-the-scenes operations, but the trader ignored him and just took the order and left.

There are 5 merchants who bid for the Golden Buddha. In addition to Cai Meilin and Saburo Sei, there are three other merchants. However, the price paid by the three was even lower. They just took a fancy to the value of the Golden Buddha itself. Without any historical sentiment, it is naturally impossible to offer a too high premium.

"What is Boss Cai's offer?"

In the tent, Katsuuragawa asked the tattooed man responsible for opening the bid.

"It's 7 million." The man replied.

"Where is Sei?"

“8 million.”

Katsuurakawa laughed and said, "Hahahaha, this fool, he would not do the public auction. He would rather spend 1 million more to open the secret sign than know which line the nerves got wrong."

"Mr. Sei's offer is the highest. Can you notify them of winning the bid?" the tattooed man asked for instructions.

Katsuurakawa nodded, then shook his head again, his eyes rolled, and said, "No, we have to add more fire. Come on. Go and get the order, fill in Boss Cai's name, and then the price... and fill in 10 million."

After arranging the situation, Katsuurakawa asked the tattooed man to invite both Xie Hongming and Saburo Sei. When they saw the two of them entering the door, Katsuurakawa frowned as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, not to mention the miserableness.

"Mr. Jie, things are very troublesome." Katsuurakawa said to Jie Hongming in the dialect of A.

Saburo Sei couldn't understand A's dialect, so he could only point to Xie Hongming's translation. Xie Hongming muttered in his heart while translating. He understood that Katsuurakawa was obviously trying to make a name for himself.

"Mr. Katsu, if you have any trouble, please tell me." After hearing the content of Jie Hongming's interpretation, Saburo Sei said to Katsuurakawa. He spoke Japanese, so naturally he had to rely on Jie Hongming to translate it to Katsuurakawa.

"Mr. Sei, you must know the friendship between me and Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie is my savior, and I will never refuse the request. Yesterday, Mr. Xie suggested changing the auction of the Golden Buddha to a secret auction, and asking us to leave the Golden Buddha to you no matter what. I have agreed to this point. However, the price quoted by Mr. Sei..." Katsuurakawa seemed embarrassed to speak up.

"Hasn't Mr. Xie agreed to you about 8 million?" asked Saburo Sei.

"I said it..." Katsuurakawa nodded, "But, I really didn't expect that Boss Cai from China would pay such a high price. The price they quoted was 10 million."

"10 million? This is impossible!" Jie Hongming immediately denied, and at the same time he felt a stern: It seems that he is really right. This guy named Cai really has a background.

Katsuurakawa pointed to the table and said, "The bids submitted by the five families are on the table, you can just read them yourself."

Saburo Sei winked at Jie Hongming. Jie Hongming turned his head and saw that there were indeed several bids on the table. He picked up the bid and glanced at it quickly. When he saw Cai Meilin's offer, he stopped. The words on it were indeed 10 million.

"They weren't writing it wrong, right?" Jie Hongming questioned pretendingly. "With just such a golden Buddha, how could they afford such a high price?"

Katsuurakawa sighed and said, "Mr. Jie, you see, this matter is a bit difficult now. Yesterday I spent a lot of effort to convince our boss behind the scenes of Daedu and asked them to agree to take care of you. But if the prices of the two companies are 2 million, I will be a little difficult to explain. If it is 100,000 or 80,000, even if it is only 1 million, I can say it...2 million, tsk tsk, it's too troublesome."

The best way to bargain is to push the blame to a false "behind the scenes boss". That means we have a friendship, but my boss and you have no friendship, so I can't make the decision. Of course, Xie Hongming knew that Katsuurakawa himself was the boss of Toshita, so there was no behind the scenes. But if Katsuurakawa said this, he had no choice. He couldn't point Katsuurakawa in person and said he was lying, right?

"What does Boss Sheng mean?" Xie Hongming asked coldly.

"I mean, can you take a step back? I'm losing a little, and Mr. Sei will add a little appropriately so that I can explain to my boss." Katsuurakawa said with a giggle.

"This is impossible." Saburo Sei said angrily. He did not suspect that Cai Meilin's quotation was fake, but suspected that Katsuurakawa and Cai Meilin had reached a behind-the-scenes deal, and deliberately asked Cai Meilin to quote a high price in order to join forces to cheat himself. The 8 million US dollars is far more than the value of Jin Buddha himself. Katsuurakawa is still engaged in such a thing, which is really hateful.

Katsuurakawa was quite calm and said, "If this is the case, I'm really embarrassed. After all, the prices of your two families are too different, so I'm not very easy to explain. Otherwise, I'd better announce that Boss Cai and the others have won the bid, so that you can save you from being embarrassed."

As he said that, he shouted outside, and the tattooed man who had avoided him had arrived before responded. Katsuurakawa explained: "If you go and invite Boss Cai and the others to come over, it will be said that it is the Golden Buddha's business..."

"Hey..." Jie Hongming reached out and tried to stop him. The tattooed man ignored the matter at all, and flashed out of the tent. Jie Hongming was a little anxious. He also knew that Katsuurakawa was trying to put pressure on them. But if they could not make a decision before Cai Meilin arrived, Katsuurakawa might have really sold the Golden Buddha to Cai Meilin. Then things would have no room for maneuver. They did not bring a young man like Li Yu. The option to grab things did not exist in their minds.

"Boss Sheng, let's discuss this matter again!" Jie Hongming said to Shengurachuan.

"What does Mr. Sei mean?" Katsuuragawa asked leisurely.

Xie Hongming turned to Saburo Sei, lowered his voice and said in Japanese. Saburo Sei seemed very manic and wanted to overturn the table several times, but in the end he nodded with a dark face. He knew that smugglers like Katsuuragawa were profit-oriented, and the profit of hundreds of thousands might be given, but if there was a price difference of 2 million, even if Sei had any military background, they would spare no effort.

"8.5 million." Jie Hongming finally said to Katsuurakawa. Seeing Katsuurakawa opening his mouth and want to say something, Jie Hongming sank his face and said, "Boss Sheng, this is Mr. Sei's bottom line. If you can't accept it, we will turn around and leave. However, when it reaches this point, everyone's faces are not good."

"8.5 million?" Katsuurakawa seemed very entangled.

"8.5 million!" Jie Hongming said firmly.

"Then... OK!" Katsuurakawa slapped the table, his face full of righteousness: "I was so willing to go out and be scolded by the boss. Who told Mr. Jie to be my savior?"

Damn, the life-savior! Jie Hongming cursed in his heart. He has cheated people to this point, and he still said something about the life-savior. He wanted to cause hatred. Thinking of this in his heart, he had to pretend to be grateful on his face and said some words of thanks in a row.

"Mr. Jie, let's do it. Boss Cai and the others are here later. Don't say your previous quote, just say that you are 11 million. Come on, there is still a list here. You can fill it out again so that Boss Cai can see the flaws. I have to make an anger with Xiao Ma and tell him that Boss Cai has lost so that he won't let him miss it." Katsuurakawa arranged in a pretentious manner.

This artificiality completely made Jie Hongming believe the authenticity of the bids on the table. He took the order handed over by Katsuurakawa, filled out a new one, took the original order back, and then waited for Cai Meilin's arrival. Katsuurakawa picked up an intercom, pressed the frequency, and said a few words, which seemed to be in the same caliber as the tattooed man.

After more than ten minutes, the tattooed man came back, but there was no one behind Cai Meilin. As soon as he entered the door, he reported the situation to Katsuurakawa without any reservation. According to him, when Cai Meilin heard that he had lost, he was furious and scolded Katsuurakawa and him, and said that he would inform the entire collection industry after he returned so that everyone would not do business with Katsuurakawa.

"So, he's not here?" Katsuuragawa asked.

"I'm here." said the tattooed man.

"Since that's the case, then forget it. He can't come here, so he can save any more trouble. Let's do this, Mr. Jie, you pay the money and then take the Golden Buddha away." Katsuurakawa said to Jie Hongming with a smile.

There is a high-power base station in the camp, which can be connected to the Internet and also supports card payment. Xie Hongming swiped the card half-believingly, transferred US$8.5 million to Katsuurakawa's account, and then left Katsuurakawa's tent with Saburo Sei and left Katsuurakawa's tent with Kim Buddha.

He sent Jie Hongming and the others out of the tent and watched them walk away. Katsuurakawa waved to the tattooed man, called him to his side, and whispered:
Chapter completed!
