Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 353 Auction

"Just don't blame us. I'm afraid that this kid will have a knot in his heart and be far away from the steel rolling mill in the future."

"I don't think so. It's true that Xiao Zhu has feelings for the steel rolling mill. For a college student, he spends all his time in the steel rolling mill. What else can it mean?"

"I think, this time, maybe we let this kid get fooled. According to Xiao Zhu's way of doing things, since he is willing to come up with the sketch, this car project is probably in his mind."

Factory Director Yang was also surprised. He was still worried about the same thing, and the secretary could still think so.

"It can't be possible. He said it himself, and he just made a sketch. There is no data yet."

"Forget it, this is all speculation. When this guy comes over tomorrow, I will ask him and it will become clear."

Director Yang made Secretary Chen feel a little dizzy when he said, "By the way, Lao Li called this afternoon and said that the cattle and sheep have been taken care of, and he asked us to send a train to transport them back. It seems that this person is quite capable, and he did it in one go." Two hundred sheep and twenty cattle."

Secretary Chen looked at the busy scene outside the window and took a sip, "Old Li is still capable, and he also has resources behind him, which neither of us can compare with, so I asked you to deal with Lao Li more. If this person is used well, the steel rolling mill will also benefit. "

"Secretary, I'm not telling you, this is a bit difficult. That time I arranged things for him, I didn't promise a good deal, but as a result, there was no hope this time. Who knew he would actually succeed."

This is a shame, a shame imposed on the Yamato nation, a shame as a defeated country.

"This cannot be tolerated, never."

"Hashimoto-kun, you still can't find out what force the auction items come from!"

The empty scene in the underground vault shocked everyone. Many people on the spot couldn't bear it and fainted. This was what they had worked so hard to steal, and now it's all gone. What's too much is that there were several people in the research room. Ten boxes of national treasures were also missing.

...

"Takeshita-kun, I'm really sorry, please forgive me for my incompetence!"

Stimulated by Meiji's move, the navy budget that originally planned to launch one warship in two years suddenly became three warships in one year, officially starting the Fuso people's journey to maritime hegemony.

It was his move that greatly stimulated all Fuso people, and the people donated enthusiastically. The Fuso Navy budget plan received strong support. At the same time, these three treasures were not melted, but were It is preserved intact as a witness to the rise of Fuso.

Secretary Chen looked at his old partner and said with a smile. "You said, you, you, you should look at people from the perspective of development. This person will change. Has he changed a lot in the past few months? Since others have given in, you should take another step forward. If the leaders are not united, , this group is not good."

"We must conduct a thorough investigation in secret without leaking any information."

Only Fuso was kept in the dark. He actually only learned the news from the bald eagle's father. Looking at the introduction in the picture, they were all stunned. These were three pieces of gold donated by Emperor Meiji to support the construction of the navy during the Meiji Restoration. .

Like the leaders of the steel rolling mill in Beijing, the team from Fuso in the Mandarin Hotel in Central, Xiangjiang, was also inexplicably irritable.

The auction will start in a few days, and there are many more guests coming this time than before. It is obvious that many of them are here for the auction items that have only been announced recently.

These three treasures have become an important symbol of the rise of Fuso. They have an extremely sacred status in the hearts of every Fuso person. Now they appear in the auction house inexplicably. This is unacceptable to all Fuso people.

Hashimoto Jiro is the prime minister's younger brother and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This time he is responsible for cooperating with Takeshita Masahiro.

"Damn it, the kangaroo breeder and Big Ben are here too. It seems they have also gotten the news. Who is it? Who is going to auction our national treasure?"

Masahiro Takeshita was already furious. More than a month ago, news spread rapidly in Asia. Three highly collectible cultural relics would appear at the traditional auction in Xiangjiang in July.

Masahiro Takeshita is the Prime Minister's special envoy and the vice president of Sanlin. This time he shoulders the important task of recovering the national treasure.

You must know that the imperial family was still very poor at that time, and these three items were all the gold supplies of the Meiji era at that time. This move shocked opponents who opposed the expansion of the navy budget.

Masahiro Takeshita's eyes were burning. These things were supposed to be stored in the museum, but now they were going to appear at the auction. After they learned the information, they went to ask for instructions as soon as possible, and then gathered together and hurried to the museum. Several parties opened it at the same time. , and then opened the heavy password lock.

But these stolen treasures cannot be seen in the light, because they have already declared to Huaguo: There are no such things at all, and Fuso's Prime Minister Taro Hashimoto can only grit his teeth and issue orders.

Unfortunately, the Japanese secret police searched for a long time and found nothing. Now it is indeed going to appear at the auction. Fuso made a serious protest. Unfortunately, the auction house provided a complete proof of legal ownership.

Fuso also has no way to prevent the national treasure that has special significance to the entire Sakura nation from wandering overseas. This is the unanimous view of the opposition party and the ruling party. For a time, Fuso reached an unprecedented consensus on this issue.

Only then did a huge team come to Xiangjiang quietly and began a frantic investigation, but unfortunately nothing was gained.

Now several days have passed, and I still can't figure out the details of the auctioneer. How can I not make Masahiro Takeshita angry?

"Takeshita-kun, although we haven't identified the person who entrusted the auction, we still found some clues."

"Hashimoto-kun, why didn't you tell me earlier? At this time, do you still need to worry about it?"

"The other party made the commission in Lundun, but the person who accepted the commission in Lunton revealed that the client had a thick bald eagle East Coast accent."

Takeshita Masahiro was stunned for a moment, "Is it really them? Yes, only they can do it. They are the only ones who can transport these treasures without telling us."

"Our land is full of their bases. Without these bases, how could thousands of large packaging boxes mysteriously disappear under our eyes."

Takeshita Masahiro suddenly collapsed on his chair and became extremely decadent. The two little boy brothers are the lingering nightmare of the Fuso people, and the bald eagle is the mountain they are unable to resist. Last year, more than 100,000 people opposed the revision of the security regulations and the loss of power and humiliation of the country. In the end, the Prime Minister could only sign in humiliation.

Seeing that Masahiro Takeshita, who had just been beaten just now, suddenly became decadent, Hashimoto asked cautiously.

"Takeshita-kun, should we still pursue it?"

Takeshita waved his hand weakly, "Withdraw all the troops. There is no point. They want it, but we can't hold it at all. We have to pretend to be happy and cooperate with them. I will report it to the Prime Minister right now."

"Hey, I understand... Hey, just follow your instructions and you will never fail, hey!"

...

Like Takeshita Masahiro and his entourage, the senior inspectors in Xiangjiang are also very depressed. Now the police stations below are reporting that there are a lot more motorcycles on the streets, going into alleys and sliding down hills. Even on the streets, clumsy police cars are chasing them. There is no way.

The police stations below have all put forward the need to equip police motorcycles, otherwise the patrol police will be useless, and the traffic police have also put forward the demand.

"Regarding SIR, within this week, there have been three cases of people escaping on light motorcycles in our jurisdiction. There is really nothing we can do."

"The same goes for us. We turned off the SIR. It was useless even if we ran and lost our legs. We finally caught up with him. He rode up the mountain and ran away. Even the car couldn't catch up."

The senior police officers and inspectors below were all talking and complaining.

"SIR Huang, I think what you mentioned below is very reasonable. It is impossible for the police officers in my jurisdiction to catch up with such small motorcycles. They must be equipped with them. The price is not expensive. I think it is very suitable."

"Guan SIR, I also agree with Jiang SIR. As for Zhong SIR saying that this kind of motorcycles should be banned, I think it is a joke. Could it be that criminals use cars or trucks to commit crimes? We can't ban it. There are also people smuggling and smuggling. Do we have to It’s impossible to ban both passenger and freight transport.”

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and it took a long time to reach an agreement. "So, do you have any ideas about what car model you want to choose?"

"Guan SIR, Fuso has several types of light motorcycles, but they all say that the performance and power are not as good as those on the market today. I think I will just choose the ones on the market, and they are much cheaper."

"I've also heard about this. The gap between the two parties is not small. If everyone has no objections, we will decide to try this first. If it works well, we will promote it."

Seeing no one objected, SIR decided.

"Then equip 500 vehicles first and see the effect. There are dealers in Xiangjiang now. We need to ask them to help contact the manufacturers. The appearance of our police motorcycles must match our image, and the performance must be better than those on the market. If you don’t keep shouting, you still won’t be able to catch up.”

"Turn off SIR. It takes too long to customize. Can you solve part of it first and then customize the rest?"

Guan SIR thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Then we will first purchase a hundred vehicles and carry out exterior modifications and customization. If you have no other objections, I will report it to the Hong Kong government and request funds."

Warm applause broke out, and the vast majority chose to support it.

"SIR Liang, the supplier's store is in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for cooperating with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, contacting the supplier, and conveying our needs."

"YES, SIR!"

Inspector Liang stood up and saluted. According to his position, he could not attend such a meeting, but the seller was in his jurisdiction, so his superiors allowed him to come. As expected, he showed his face and received the task.

"Ms. Wu, this is the situation. The light motorcycles have caused some confusion to the police. I hope your company can help contact the manufacturer and customize 500 units according to our requirements."

Miss Wu nodded. "It is our duty to cooperate with the police. We will contact you as soon as possible. Please rest assured."

It seems that I have to contact the boss, but I can't contact him. It seems that I can only contact the steel rolling mill. There are already people from them on the construction site, and some are teaching repair and maintenance.

...

On the top floor of the Mandarin Hotel, a normal auction is going on smoothly. There are no surprises. The auction items have already entered the second half.

There were many more attendees today than in the past. Not only were there almost all familiar faces, but there were also quite a few new ones. The organizers knew that all this was because of the appearance of three golden royal items.

The security force at the site has also been strengthened a lot. Although the auction items will not be robbed on this isolated island, any accident at the venue will make these big guys lose face, so the venue is now heavily guarded.

"Mr. Huang, I haven't been here for a long time. I'm looking for something good this time..."

"Old Chen, haha, I just came to see the excitement. Look over there, the royal family is also here. By the way, there is also the Siamese royal family, and people from Malacca are also here."

"It seems that many people came to join in the fun. I also saw Mr. Sam of the Bald Eagle, Sir Henry of Big Ben, and representatives of the Kangaroo Kingdom. This time it was really fun to watch."

"It's not surprising. These guys have a lot of money, and they suffered a lot from the Fuso people. If they can buy this thing back and put it in a museum, the public opinion and votes, tsk tsk, will probably increase greatly."

"Old Huang, it seems that we can only watch the excitement this time. You said that if the five of us jointly bid to get one, is there any hope? If it can be done, according to my estimation, in a few years, we will be able to do it no matter what. Make a fortune."

"That's right, we definitely can't tolerate a small plaster floating outside alone. We will definitely spend a lot of money to redeem it. We have to discuss this..."

"That's right, even if it doesn't work, you still have to be disgusted and disgusted with them..."

The two of them left with their arms around their shoulders, and slowly a few more people gathered around them, letting out chuckles from time to time.

...

"The next lot is Lot 13 this afternoon. You can check the information of Lot 13 in your hand..."

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, the auction for lot 13 is now open. The base price is US$. Each increase in price shall not be less than US$. Interested parties are now invited to bid."

"Takeshita-kun, it belongs to us. It is our golden ewer. It is the proud work of Master Xiaotiao. Yes, it is it."

Hashimoto exclaimed softly, but was interrupted impatiently by Masahiro Takeshita with a dark face.

"Hashimoto-kun, watch your words and deeds."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. When I saw the cherry blossom pattern on the golden amber pot, I couldn't control myself..."

"Miyazawa-kun, how many dollars have we prepared this time?"

"Hashimoto-kun, I have asked Congress for instructions, and a total of 20 million US dollars has been prepared for your deployment."

Takeshita Masahiro nodded, these should be enough, far exceeding the value of the three cultural relics several times. This was a temporary application, but there was no difficulty in the Congress, and it was basically passed unanimously.

"Nine hundred thousand, Miss No. 96 bids nine hundred thousand, Mr. No. 51 bids one million..."

Number 96 should belong to the Siamese royal family. You can guess it by looking at the women surrounding the man and holding placards. They are all luxuriously dressed and charming.

The venue suddenly became lively, with nearly a dozen companies frequently raising placards, and soon the price reached a high of 3.2 million.

"Takeshita-kun, what should we do now? Do we want to raise a sign? There are four more..."

Takeshita Masahiro closed his eyes and remained silent. Hashimoto had no choice but to shut up. Seeing that he was about to break through 3.5 million, there were only two companies left to compete.

"Hold up your sign, 380 million."

"The gentleman at No. 380 bids million. Is there anything higher?"

Takeshita Masahiro raised the price by nearly 400,000 yuan in one breath, and seemed determined to win. This was already nearly five times the reserve price of cultural relics.

No. 96, the woman who should be the representative of the Siamese royal family gave No. 99 a meaningful look and silently put down the sign.

Seeing another store put down its sign sadly, Takeshita Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now it's the second time, the second time is 380 million, and there's more, well, Mr. No. 78 bids 400 million..."

Mr. Huang and the others looked at No. 99 happily. They had already decided on a strategy and tried to work together to win one.

"Old Huang, this is a good idea of ​​yours. If he doesn't follow, we will complete the plan in advance. If he follows, we will use up all of them and then make plans, haha."
