Chapter 175 Competing for calculation

"To be honest, Mr. Sei and I came here for the Golden Buddha. We originally thought that no one else would be interested in the Golden Buddha, but we didn't expect to meet the boss Cai today. I feel that he also intends this." Jie Hongming said to Katsuurakawa bluntly.

Before this, he did not reveal this, but said that Saburo Sei was an amateur collector and went to this auction just to take a walk around and had no special intention. He said this, of course, to avoid Katsuurakawa deliberately raising the price of the Golden Buddha, which is exactly the same as Cai Meilin's idea.

But now, Xie Hongming has to tell the truth to Shengurakawa. He needs to get the help of Shengurakawa, otherwise, the final cost of having an endless auction with Cai Meilin will be unestimated.

"Golden Buddha?" Katsuurakawa frowned, "What, is there anything strange about this Golden Buddha?"

"Nothing is strange, it's just an old man's obsession." Jie Hongming said lightly, "Mr. Sei's father may be the one who was the one who was the one who went to Japan when the Golden Buddha went to Japan. Now he is old and is very interested in learning that the 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 he fulfilled his father's wish, which is that simple."

"So why do you think of that boss Cai, why do he like this Golden Buddha?"

"I don't know this." Xie Hongming said, "I suspected at first that he was an official Chinese person and came to take pictures of this Golden Buddha for the need for cultural relics protection. Since Mr. Sheng said that he was just an ordinary businessman, it is difficult to explain this matter."

"Is that so? Then I need to learn more." Katsuurakawa threw the beer can I drink in his hand into an empty box, and then asked lightly: "Do you have any ideas about this?"

Xie Hongming said: "I want to ask Mr. Sheng, what price do you plan to sell this Golden Buddha?"

Katsuuragawa laughed and said, "Haha, of course, the higher the better. If you do our job, how can you think you have too much money to get rid of your hands?"

Xie Hongming said: "I know this naturally, but Is there a price that can be negotiated? Mr. Katsu suffered some losses to avoid Mr. Sei's losses."

"So, what price did Mr. Sei come up with?" Katsuuragawa asked back.

Xie Hongming said: "5 million."

Katsuurakawa said bluntly: "I spent 3 million on this Golden Buddha. If I just wanted to take action for 5 million, why should I spend this trouble? Mr. Xie thought I wouldn't have to spend money on these things?"

"So, what about 7 million?" Jie Hongming calmly added 2 million.

Katsuuragawa smiled but 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 that Mr. Sei can afford. If the price is higher than this, even if he is filial, he can only give up."

"I want to know, if I promise this price, what reward can Mr. Sei give me?" Katsuuragawa asked.

Of course he knew that Jie Hongming was able to come to negotiate with him, so he naturally had a trump card in hand. Otherwise, if he said this, he would obviously wash his neck clean and let others slaughter it. Jie Hongming did not say the trump card, which was to save face for both sides. After all, it would be very disharmonious to speak directly and threaten.

"Mr. Sei's father has some influence in the Japanese military. He can contact old friends in the military of Country A to provide some convenience for Mr. Sheng." Xie Hongming said calmly.

"So that's it." Katsuurakawa nodded, "that's so thankful to Mr. Lao Sei."

The so-called convenience can be provided, which is naturally a situation that will only occur after Katsuurakawa agrees to understand Hong Ming's request. Conversely, if Katsuurakawa does not agree to solve Hong Ming's request, then Lao Sei can also contact old friends in the military of A Country to add some small trouble to Katsuurakawa.

Katsuurakawa is engaged in smuggling. It is impossible to do this business in Country A without the support of the military. Not to mention the military's encirclement and investigation, even the battle between different gangs can make Katsuurakawa embarrassed.

Xie Hongming pointed out the relationship between Lao Sei and the military of A country, which was actually a naked threat to Katsuurakawa, forcing Katsuurakawa to consider his request.

Of course, this threat is also based on a fairer transaction. Xie Hongming offered a price of US$8 million, which was already a good price for Katsuurakawa. Katsuurakawa could completely stop when it was better and sold the Golden Buddha to Saburo Sei in private to avoid huge losses in the price comparison with Cai Meilin. If Katsuurakawa did not accept this condition and insisted on auctioning, which caused Saburo Sei to return in disappointment, then what followed would be the fierce revenge of the Sei family.

"Let's do this, I have to discuss this with my brothers. After all, I can't decide the matter in the gang alone. Mr. Jie, don't worry, you are my savior. Can I still not agree to what you said?" Katsuurakawa laughed and said with a hypocritical expression.

"Why do you have to keep a little bit of trouble? " Xie Hongming also replied with a smile, "Brother, I have received a lot of help from you over the years, and we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Yes, there are still many opportunities." Katsuurakawa laughed.

The two chatted for a few more words in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and Jie Hongming left on the pretext. He knew that Katsuurakawa would definitely have to further investigate Cai Meilin's origin. The so-called discussion with brothers is purely an excuse. How can the boss say that the matter in this gang is not counted?

Seeing Jie Hongming walking away from the window, Katsuurakawa took out a cell phone and dialed several phone calls. After about ten minutes, all the phones were called back and reported information about Cai Meilin to Katsuurakawa.

The cultural relics circle is not big. Katsuurakawa has many acquaintances in this circle and has taken care of each other's business on weekdays, so it is easy to ask them to investigate something. According to the news that he returned from Yuhai, Cai Meilin is indeed an ordinary businessman. He has been opening a cultural and entertainment shop in Yuhai for more than 20 years and has not found any official background. As for the fact that he met several government officials while doing business, it is normal and cannot explain any problem.

In addition, insiders also revealed that Cai Meilin's Hongbaozhai is only famous in Yuhai, which is not a big deal. In other words, Cai Meilin cannot spend a lot of money to bid for any treasures with others. This time, the biggest idea of ​​coming to Country A is to be able to pick up bargains and make some money.

"Haha, this old guy has misunderstood. He really treats Boss Cai as a big shot." Katsuurakawa smiled proudly. If this is the case, then it seems to be a more cost-effective thing to agree to Hong Ming's request.

This is the difference in the information between the two sides. Xie Hongming did not understand Cai Meilin's origin. He only felt something strange from Dong Berlin, and guessed that Cai Meilin had a strong background and might become a strong enemy when bidding for the Golden Buddha. However, Sheng Urakawa did not see Dong Berlin. He just based on the information he investigated, he believed that Cai Meilin's bidding ability was very limited. If the Golden Buddha was actually auctioned, it might not be as high as US$8 million.

"No, I have to stretch this old thing and ask him to add a little more." Katsuurakawa secretly made a plan, and then continued to watch his martial arts movie.

Let’s talk about Jie Hongming. After coming out of Katsuurachuan, he did not return to his tent, but walked into the forest next to him alone, taking this opportunity to see what local herbs are useful. As he was walking, a figure flashed in front of him. Jie Hongming looked up and couldn’t help but feel happy. It turned out that it was Li Yu who walked over slowly.

"Oh, little brother, we're meeting again."

Jie Hongming came forward, bowed casually, and greeted Li Yu.

"Old sir... do you actually speak Chinese?" Li Yu was a little surprised. He was also bored in the tent and came out for a walk. Seeing Jie Hongming wandering around the forest, he wanted to come and take a look, but he didn't expect Jie Hongming to take the initiative to say hello to him. What he didn't expect was that Jie Hongming could actually speak quite standard Chinese.

"I was originally Chinese, I just lived in Japan." Xie Hongming explained.

"So that's it, I'm disrespectful." Li Yu quickly saluted and pretended to be surprised on his face.

The two of them communicated their names. Li Yu was thinking about plotting against Sei and his party, so he was naturally unwilling to reveal his real name. He only told Hong Ming about the false name he made when he went to Yuquankou. In Jie Hongming's eyes, Li Yu was just a young man who was ignorant of the world. The surprise he showed at this time confirmed Hong Ming's guess. Therefore, Jie Hongming was not at all wary of Li Yu, but was thinking about how to take out some valuable information from the child's mouth.

"Little brother, do you often follow Boss Cai to experience it?" Jie Hongming asked Li Yu like a family matter.

"No, this is the first time Boss Cai has brought me out. In the past, he always thought I was too young." Li Yu said in a complaining tone.

Xie Hongming smiled and said, "Haha, I think Boss Cai is too worried. Since ancient times, heroes have been young, and Brother Yu is a shrewd and capable person at first glance. Boss Cai really should take you out for a walk."

"Yes, I told Boss Cai this way," Li Yu said, revealing his closeness to Cai Meilin.

Xie Hongming said: "Boss Cai, there are probably not many people under him who are as capable as Brother Yu, right?"
