Chapter 64: The True Purpose
"Yes, I was so excited, I almost forgot to go to a meeting, it's not like a hotel, it's a mansion, alas, all evil capitalism!" Said the stallion.
"The environment here is very good, but I can't slack off, and I will continue to exercise every morning." Takuku made up his mind, and walked out the door with us as he spoke.
"Room 3611, what Lao Zhou just said should be this room number." I said, don't look at this hotel is very big, but there are only about 20 rooms on the first floor, we live in 3606, and soon found the room number where Lao Zhou is.
"You're a minute late." After Lao Zhou opened the door, this was the first thing Yue Mingmo said when he saw us.
"That's because your watch is inaccurate, right? My watch is two minutes short of half an hour. I said.
"Everyone is together, Lao Zhou, let's start." Yue Mingmo ignored us and called the meeting to begin.
"The show is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. two days later and will last for a month, with auctions interspersed every two days and treasure appreciating events every three days. The location is on the top floor of the Liuben Building, the headquarters of the Yueshi Group, and originally, if you want to hold an auction, there are other better places to choose, but considering that the types and quantities of antiques exhibited in this exhibition, as well as the preciousness are the largest in the history of the Yueshi Group, and the auction and treasure appreciation will be carried out at the same time, after discussion by the management, it was finally unanimously decided to hold the event in its own place to facilitate security and coordination. Lao Zhou made the next activities clear in the briefest language.
"I'm done, is there anything else Miss would like to add?" Lao Zhou asked, and Xiao Zhang beside him was quickly taking minutes of the meeting.
"Have all the invitations been sent?" Yue Mingmo asked.
"It's all sent out, including your master's family." Lao Zhou replied.
"Sent it to them, too?" Yue Mingmo asked with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Yes, they had to invite for some considerations, but at this time and that time, Miss didn't need to worry too much." Lao Zhou looked at us a little playfully and said.
Next, Xiao Zhang made a report to Yue Mingmo and Lao Zhou on the operation of the branch that had to be asked in person for a while, and when a few of us yawned, it was finally over.
"Okay, today's meeting is almost over, Xiao Zhang, let's go." After Yue Mingmo finished speaking, he left with Xiao Zhang, leaving me, and the stallion and Dajiu stared at each other with big eyes.
"Hehe, we've been talking about the company's operations just now, and it hurts your head to hear it, but now you can raise any questions, and after this meeting, I'll take you to eat the best food in Tokyo." Lao Zhou said with a smile.
"About Miao Dao, Lao Zhou, you said that this exhibition will bring our Miao Dao as an exhibit, what is going on?" I was the first to ask.
"The reason for this is very simple, because you brought out a few Miao knives, are priceless treasures, this exhibition is very large, divided into several themes, there are calligraphy and painting themes, utensils themes, etc., among which the most popular is the theme of ancient cold weapons. The people of Fuso are good at martial arts, and bushido is their belief that they have carried out from ancient times to the present, and their desire for strong force is what this nation has been tirelessly pursuing. Lao Zhou replied.
"I know this, the five Miao knives we brought out from Miao Jiang (the pork ribs and fat intestines were sent away by my grandfather, the Miao knives had been sent, so the number of Miao knives to Tokyo this time was a total of five) is indeed not ordinary, and the Miao knives are also known as the nemesis of the Fusang katana, I believe that with this gimmick, there will be a lot of Fusang Guwu families and Fusang groups who are interested in it." I said.
"Young Master Ouyang's analysis is correct, the two extra Miao knives you have this time are on display as the treasures of the town hall with the theme of cold weapons. The Chinese Miao sword has always been known as the nemesis of the Fuso samurai sword on the rivers and lakes, and the Fuso samurai have always wanted to compete with the real Miao sword heirs and justify the name of the Fuso katana. Lao Zhou said with a smile.
"I accept any challenge from a Fuso person, and he chooses the time and place." Taku, who had been listening to our conversation quietly, spoke quietly, his eyes were full of high fighting intent, and the momentum of the whole person was completely different from the relaxed state on the plane and in the hotel room just now, as if he had become a blaster that could explode at any time.
"That's right! We are not even afraid of big zongzi, what is the little devil? Fierce brothers come and cut one by one, come ten and cut five pairs, and cut the heads of the devils with a big knife! The smiles of the martyrs are guarded by us this time! The stallion howled.
"Chop wool, don't underestimate the enemy, the Fusang warriors are not soft persimmons, otherwise there would not be a team of Fusang ronins who would have made the coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty a mess." I warned.
"By the way, Lao Zhou, you just said that there are invitations at the exhibition, what is that?" The stallion asked curiously.
"Oh, that's right, Master Dumas, invitations are sent to partners or peers who have a good relationship with the Yueshi Group, but whenever there is a large-scale event, they will be sent to them, such as multinational companies from other domestic groups here, counterparts from European and American countries here, and some large local consortia in Fuso, and whenever they have large-scale activities, they will also send us invitations, which can be regarded as an unwritten rule in the circle, showing a manifestation of their own strength." Lao Zhou explained, I guess it is because we ask this that he will be so patient, and Lao Zhou will not pay attention to other people.
"Eh, Lao Zhou, I have one last question, just now you said that in addition to those companies, you also sent an invitation to Yue Mingmo's master, she doesn't seem to be very happy, what's going on?" No one can stop the gossip heart of the stallion.
"That, it's the Yanagi family, the first family of ancient martial arts known as Fusang, and the young lady once studied martial arts with their patriarch Yanagi Sanyan for ten years." Lao Zhou said.
"The Yanagi family? Is it the legendary royal swordsmanship teacher of the Tokugawa family, the descendant of Yanagi Shishu, the founder of Yagyu Shin-Yin-ryu? It is said that he was once famous, and the true disciple of the sword saint of the new Yin Stream during the Fuso Warring States Period-Kamiizumi Shinzuna, this origin is incredible. I said.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that Young Master Ouyang also knew so much about the history of Fusang, and he deserved to be the descendant of the Dragon King." Lao Zhou said with a smile.
"Where, this is not taught by the old man, I mentioned it when I played games before, I always thought it was all made up, but I didn't expect it to be true, but I don't know if they are in vain or real." I said embarrassedly.
"Miss's second knife stream was learned from them, as for the reason why Miss is not very happy, it is estimated that she doesn't want to meet her senior brother Yagyu Sousuke who has been chasing her hard at the exhibition, he is the son of Yagyu Sanyan." Lao Zhou said.
"Lao Zhou, using Miao Dao as an exhibit shouldn't be just to attract Fusang people to buy tickets to visit, right?" I then asked, and for some reason, I now felt a hint of jealousy pop up in my heart.
"Yes, Young Master Ouyang, there is another purpose, we want to use this exhibition to attract someone to come and see, and then find him." Lao Zhou said mysteriously.
