Chapter 175: Competing for Calculations
"Mr. Bukatsu said that Mr. Sei and I came for the golden Buddha. Originally, we didn't think that anyone else would be interested in the golden Buddha, but I didn't expect to meet that Boss Cai today, and I feel that he is also interested in it. Xie Hongming said bluntly to Shengpu Chuan.
Previously, he did not disclose this tone, but said that Saburo Sei was an amateur collector, and he came to this auction purely casually, and had no special intentions. He said this, of course, to avoid Katsuuragawa deliberately raising the price of the Golden Buddha, which is completely consistent with Cai Meilin's thoughts.
But now, Xie Hongming has to tell the truth to Shengpuchuan, he needs to get Shengpuchuan's help, otherwise, the final cost of the endless bidding with Cai Meilin will be incalculable.
"Golden Buddha?" Katsuuragawa frowned, "What, is there anything strange about this Golden Buddha?" โ
"It's nothing strange, it's just an old man's obsession." Xie Hongming pretended to be relaxed and said, "Mr. Sei's father may have been the person who handled this golden Buddha when he went to Japan, and now that he is old, he is very interested in learning the news that this golden Buddha has reappeared in the world. Mr. Sei is a filial son, so he wanted to take a picture of the Golden Buddha, but his father had a wish, it was as simple as that. โ
"Then you said that Boss Cai, why did he take a fancy to this golden Buddha?"
"I don't know that." Xie Hongming said, "At first, I suspected that he was an official Chinese person, and he came to photograph this golden Buddha for the protection of cultural relics. Since Mr. Katsu said that he was just an ordinary businessman, it was difficult to explain this matter. โ
"Really? I'll have to find out more. Katsuuragawa threw the dried beer can in his hand into an empty box, and then asked lightly: "Mr. Xie told me about this, do you have any ideas?" โ
Xie Hongming said: "I want to ask Mr. Sheng, what price do you plan to sell this golden Buddha?" โ
Katsuuragawa laughed and said: "Haha, of course the higher the better, how can we do this business?" โ
Xie Hongming said: "I naturally know this, but." Is there a negotiable price, Mr. Katsu suffers a loss, so as to avoid Mr. Sei suffering too much loss. โ
"So, what price did Mr. Sei come up with?" Katsuuragawa asked rhetorically.
Xie Hongming said: "5 million." โ
Katsuuragawa said unceremoniously: "I spent 3 million to buy this golden Buddha. If I just want to sell for 5 million, why should I bother with it? Mr. Xie thinks I don't have to spend money to do these things? โ
"So, what about 7 million?" Xie Hongming quietly added 2 million.
Katsu Puchuan smiled and said nothing, waiting for Xie Hongming to continue to increase the price.
Xie Hongming was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "8 million." This is the upper limit of what Mr. Sei can come up with. If the price is higher than this, even if he has filial piety, he can only give up. โ
"I wonder what Mr. Sei can give me in return if I agree to this price?" Katsuuragawa asked.
Of course, he knew that Xie Hongming could come to negotiate with him, so naturally he still had hole cards in hand. Otherwise, if you talk like this, you will obviously wash your neck and let others slaughter it. Xie Hongming didn't say the hole cards, so as to save a little face for both sides, after all, it is very discordant to directly threaten.
"Mr. Sei's father had some influence in the Japanese military. He was able to contact his old friends on the a** side to provide some convenience for Mr. Sheng. Xie Hongming said calmly.
"I see." Katsuuragawa nodded, "Thank you so much Mr. Sei." โ
The so-called can provide some convenience, but that is naturally the situation that will only appear after Katsuuragawa agrees to understand Hong Ming's request. On the other hand, if Katsuuragawa does not agree to Xie Hongming's request, then Lao Sei can also contact his old friends on the A** side and add a little trouble to Katsuuragawa.
Katsuuragawa is engaged in smuggling, and it is impossible to do this business in country A without the support of the military. Not to mention the military's encirclement, suppression, and raids. Even if it is a fight between different gangs, it can make Katsuuragawa wolf bรจi unbearable.
Xie Hongming pointed out the relationship between Lao Sei and the A** party, which was actually a threat to Katsuuragawa, so that Katsuurakawa had to consider his request.
Of course. This threat is also based on a relatively fair deal. Xie Hongming offered a price of 8 million US dollars, which was already a good price for Katsuurakawa, and Katsuurachuan could accept it as soon as he saw it, and privately sell the Golden Buddha to Saburo Sei, so as not to suffer huge losses in the price comparison with Cai Meilin. If Katsuuragawa does not accept this condition. If you have to be insatiable and insist on the auction, the director will return disappointed, then what will follow will be the ferocious revenge of the Sei family.
"That's it, I still have to discuss this matter with my brothers, after all, I can't have the final say in the affairs of the gang alone. Mr. Xie, don't worry, you are my savior, can I not agree to what you have said? Katsuuragawa laughed and said with a hypocritical expression.
"It's just a little thing, why should Mr. Sheng keep remembering it?" Xie Hongming also replied with a smile, "Brother, I have also received a lot of help from you over the years, and there will be more opportunities for us to cooperate in the future." โ
"That's right, there are still plenty of opportunities." Katsuuragawa laughed.
The two chatted a few more idle words in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and Xie Hongming left under the pretext of excuse. He knew that Sheng Puchuan must further investigate Cai Meilin's origin, the so-called words like wanting to discuss with his brothers are purely pretexts, how can the leader of this kind of gang say that it doesn't count?
Seeing Xie Hongming walking away from the window, Katsu Puchuan took out a mobile phone and dialed a few calls. After about ten minutes, various phone calls came back, reporting information about Cai Meilin to Katsuuragawa.
The cultural relics circle is not very large, and Katsuuragawa has many acquaintances in this circle, and they have also taken care of each other's business on weekdays, so it is easy to ask them to investigate a little thing. According to the news returned from Yuhai, Cai Meilin is indeed an ordinary businessman, and he has been in Yuhai Kaiwen Play Store for more than 20 years, and he has not found any official background. As for saying that I met a few government officials when I was doing business, that is a normal thing and does not explain anything.
In addition, insiders also revealed that Cai Meilin's Hongbaozhai only has some fame in Yuhai, which is not a big deal. In other words, it is impossible for Cai Meilin to spend a lot of money to bid for any treasures, and this trip to country A, I am afraid that the biggest idea is to be able to pick up the leaks and make a little money.
"Hehe, this old guy has also lost his eyes, and he really thinks Boss Cai is a big shot." Katsu Pu Chuan smirked, if this is the case, then it seems to be a more cost-effective thing to agree to Xie Hongming's request.
That's the difference in the information they have. Xie Hongming didn't know Cai Meilin's origin, he just felt something strange from Dong Bolin, so he guessed that Cai Meilin had a strong background and might become a fierce rival when bidding for the Golden Buddha. However, Shengpuchuan did not see Dong Bolin, but based on the information obtained from his own investigation, he believed that Cai Meilin's bidding ability was very limited, and if the Golden Buddha was really auctioned, it might not reach the auction price of 8 million US dollars.
"No, we have to pick up this old thing and let him raise the price again." Katsuuragawa secretly made up his mind, and then continued to watch his martial arts movies.
Speaking of Xie Hongming, after coming out of the Katsuura River, he did not return to his tent, but walked into the nearby forest alone, taking this opportunity to see what herbs were useful in the local area. As he was walking, the figure in front of him flashed, Xie Hongming looked up and couldn't help but be happy, it turned out that it was Li Yu who walked over unhurriedly.
"Yo, little brother, see you again."
Xie Hongming stepped forward, casually arched his hand, and said hello to Li Yu.
"Old gentleman...... You can actually speak Chinese? Li Yu was a little surprised, he was also bored in the tent, so he came out for a walk. Seeing Xie Hongming patrolling in the forest, he wanted to come over and take a look, but he didn't expect Xie Hongming to take the initiative to greet him, and what he didn't expect was that Xie Hongming could actually speak quite standard Chinese.
"I'm originally Chinese, but I'm just living in Japan." Xie Hongming explained.
"I see, it's disrespectful." Li Yu hurriedly saluted, and at the same time pretended to be surprised on his face.
The two exchanged names, and Li Yu remembered that he wanted to calculate Sei and his party, so he naturally didn't want to reveal his real name, so he only told Yu Li to know Hong Ming about the fake name he made up when he went to Yuquankou. In Xie Hongming's eyes, Li Yu is just a young man who doesn't know the world, and his surprise at this time is even more confirmed to understand Hongming's guess, so Xie Hongming did not have the slightest wariness of Li Yu, but pondered how to take out some valuable information from this child's mouth.
"Little brother, do you often follow Boss Cai out to practice?" Xie Hongming asked Li Yu like a homely person.
"What's the matter, this is the first time Boss Cai has taken me out, and he has always thought I was too young in the past." Li Yu said with a complaining tone.
Xie Hongming said with a smile: "Haha, I think Boss Cai is also too worried, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and Brother Yu is a shrewd and capable person at first glance, Boss Cai should really take you out for a walk." โ
"Yes, that's what I told Boss Cai." Li Yu said, revealing his closeness to Cai Meilin in his words.
Xie Hongming said: "Boss Cai's subordinates, I'm afraid there are not many capable people like Brother Yu, right?" โ
"That can't be said." Li Yu said, "People like me, under Boss Cai, can't be ranked at all. We Hongbao Zhai has eight King Kongs, all of which were brought out by Boss Cai, and at least I have much more experience than me, and Boss Cai is very relieved of them doing things.
