Chapter 58 Chapter 58
Aso Tairan never thought that someone would actually bid against him, and would insist on it so much. He looked at the Qatari royal family member beside him with an unhappy face.
There are at least 8,000 royal family members in Qatar, but not all of them have real power. The royal family member who is on good terms with Aso Taira is just a branch of the Al Thani family.
The Aso family, to which Aso Teiichi belongs, is one of the most prominent families in Country R, and both sides want to benefit from the other.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Aso, the person bidding with you is Princess Moza's guest, who is from China."
Although China and Country R have established friendly diplomatic relations a long time ago, the relationship between the two countries from top to bottom can only be understood but not expressed in words.
When Aso Taira heard that the person he was competing against was Chinese, he also felt the situation was getting difficult.
The Hachinohe Ninja Magatama, like the Kusanagi sword and the Eight-foot Mirror, is one of the mysterious "three sacred treasures" of the majestic tradition of the R country's royal family. The Hachinohe Ninja Magatama represents "kindness". Possessing these three "sacred treasures" can make one's name a descendant of Amaterasu, and is indispensable when the emperor ascends the throne.
As a member of the Aso family, Aso Taiin naturally knew that among the three "sacred artifacts", the Hachinohe Ninja Magatama, the Kusanagi sword, and the Eight-foot Mirror, the Hachinohe Ninja Magatama had long been lost. Therefore, when the royal family holds ceremonies now, they always wrap up the "sacred artifacts".
After receiving the news that the Hachinohe Ninja Magatama would most likely appear at the Qatar auction, Aso Taira used all his connections to conceal the news in order to gain more power for himself in the future, and went to Qatar in person to attend the auction.
When the Hachinohe Nino Magatama really appeared, Aso Taira even felt that he had "seen" his future, becoming the next head of the Aso family.
Who could have thought that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway through.
At this time, the bidding price has reached 2 billion US dollars.
Aso Taishin had to ask for "borrow money" from Giloro, one of the Qatari royal family members next to him.
Although the Qatari royal family is extremely wealthy, not everyone is rich. After all, there are so many members, and some side branches may not be able to come up with a lot of money at once.
Ji Luoluo also thought about it in his mind, wondering if it was worth offending Princess Moza's guests for Aso Taihei. The answer is obvious: it is not worth it.
But if he didn't agree, and Aso Taihei was desperate enough to tell others the information he had leaked to him, his life would be even more difficult. Besides, his business in Country R needed Aso Taihei's support.
Thinking of this, Ji Luoluo had no choice but to agree to Ma Shentai to lend him 500 million US dollars.
"Mr. Aso, you know that I have invested in your country's business, and now I only have 500 million U.S. dollars at my disposal. As a friend, I am willing to lend you all of it."
Although Aso Tairan was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart and felt that Ji Luoluo was holding back, he smiled and said that he was a good friend.
Chen Hui is determined to obtain the Hachinohe Qiong Magatama.
When Aso Taixuan shouted out the price of 2.5 billion US dollars, Chen Hui directly asked Guo Chenglin to raise the price to 2.6 billion US dollars.
Aso Tairan asked for help from Ji Luoluo again, but Ji Luoluo just spread his hands to show that he could not help.
Now there are only two options left for Aso Tai'an. One is to seek help from the family immediately, but he will definitely be punished by the family for doing so. It is useless to conceal such important information for personal gain, even if he says he is not sure whether the information is true or not.
Even if he finally got the Hachinohe Nō Magatama, he would naturally be punished by the family for concealing it.
The second way is to pretend that you have never been to this auction.
However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. When Hachinohe Nino Magatama is born, the family will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. He no longer needs any evidence to appear in Qatar at this time.
Because of his concealment, the Hachinohe Niao Magatama was auctioned off by the Chinese, and the fate that awaits him is probably to commit suicide by seppuku to apologize.
He didn't dare to gamble!
Aso Taihong's face was uncertain.
As a last resort, Aso Tairan made a phone call to his father.
It’s a pity that no one answered the call.
In the end, Chen Hui bought the Hachinohe Qiong Magatama for 2.6 billion US dollars, equivalent to 22.5 billion Chinese yuan.
Congratulations to the host for completing today's task and successfully spending 22.5 billion Chinese Yuan. The tenfold rebate has been received, and the "Biography of Female Historian" is randomly rewarded with 200,000 reward points. ]
[Huaxia Bank] Your ordinary card with the last digit 9055 received RMB 20000000000 through Super Online Banking transfer. The current account balance is RMB 2,836,235,2926.23. The last digit of the other party’s account is 8888. The other party’s account name: Chen Hui.
Although he spent more than 10 billion out of his own pocket, he received a tenfold rebate after completing the mission, which gave him another 10 billion back. Think about it, it's like he spent more than 10 billion out of his own pocket to buy the national treasure of Country R. Moreover, the price given by the other party during the auction also shows that the Hachinohe Niao Magatama is more important than he thought.
There is also the system reward of "The Admonitions of Court Instructress to Women" this time. Chen Hui doesn't know much about it, but since it can be used as a system reward, its value is naturally not low.
Just as I was about to search on Baidu, I heard Xiaoba's system notification sound again.
[Trigger a random task. Please complete the unlimited task gold consumption task, time limit is 30 minutes. There is no reward for completing the task and no penalty for not completing the task. ]
Unlimited task gold consumption tasks!
Chen Hui’s favorite!
Now she was at the auction again. Although there was only 30 minutes, she had experience in completing unlimited task gold consumption tasks at auctions. She first handed her black gold card to Guo Chenglin and asked him to settle the bill in real time at the back. Then she picked up the real-time English translation headphones on the table and handed them to Zhang Ting.
Ask her to help you translate and bid.
The next lot is also from China, a set of porcelain, including a Ruyi cloud-mouthed vase with a group of immortals celebrating a birthday from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a large vase with a turquoise green ground and a gilded blue-and-white Benba vase with lotus and eight treasures, and a flat vase with a turquoise green ground and a gilded blue-and-white flat vase with dragon ears and blessings of fortune.
As expected of a porcelain from the Qianlong period, it has intricate patterns and soft colors.
The starting price was approximately 22 million Chinese Yuan. In order to save time, Chen Hui directly asked Zhang Ting to bid 30 million.
When Chen Hui doubled the price at once, those who were preparing to participate in the auction were stunned for a moment, and then they gave up the bidding. Chen Hui only took 3 minutes to complete the bidding for this item, mainly because the auctioneer wasted too much time introducing the items.
The next item to be auctioned turned out to be an extremely delicate and exquisite architectural model with a very Arabic style.
Its appearance is a bit like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. It is made mainly of 22k gold, embellished with diamonds and gems, with intricate patterns and soft colors, making it extremely luxurious.
Especially listening to the host’s introduction, 328 kilograms of 22K gold were used!
Not to mention the numerous diamond embellishments are all 3EX level.
The inlay of gems such as emerald pearls, emeralds, padparadscha, the king of tourmaline Paraiba, etc., not to mention the value of its craftsmanship, the value of the materials used alone is no less than 500 million Chinese yuan.
Chen Hui once again felt the grandeur of the Middle East.
The starting price was approximately 800 million Chinese yuan, and Chen Hui directly asked Zhang Ting to bid 2.6 billion.
However, this time, doubling the bid did not allow Chen Hui to win the auction in one go.
In a short while, the price had soared to 2.5 billion Chinese yuan.
In the end, Chen Hui bought this "furniture ornament" in the eyes of the Middle Eastern tycoons for 2.8 billion yuan.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the random task: unlimited task gold consumption task, with a total consumption of 2830,000,000 yuan. ]
It took 30 minutes to get 2.83 billion in profits, and Chen Hui felt it was a pity.
The time the auctioneer spends introducing the items is longer than the bidding time. In addition, the auctioneer speaks Arabic. Although the English is translated in real time, it is still like hearing a sentence twice, because Shen Hui still needs Zhang Ting to translate it into Chinese.
The following items are all exquisite "home furnishings and decorations" made of various gold and gemstones in a luxurious Middle Eastern style.
Chen Hui was no longer interested and took out her mobile phone to search for "The Admonitions of Female Historian" on Baidu.
The original silk painting created by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has long been lost. Only a copy from the Tang Dynasty remains, and it is collected by Country Y. What Chen Hui got was the original work by Gu Kaizhi from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Its value is no less than that of the bronze statue of the snake head, and it is even more precious.
The system rewards that Chen Hui received in the past two days were all rare Chinese national treasures.
I couldn't help feeling a little confused, so I tentatively asked Xiao Ba, and sure enough, the answer I got was that the system level was not high enough and the query could not be made.
I still need to work hard. My points now amount to 320,000, which means I am one-third of the way to the next level.
After the auction ended, Chen Hui and her group were stopped by Aso Taira's men as soon as they walked out of the Bay Paradise.
Su Dagang, Li Dongmei and others had already put their hands on their waists, while Zhang Ting and Jin Lifang protected Chen Hui from the front and back.
Chen Yingying, who was holding Chen Hui's arm, subconsciously clenched it. In a foreign country, who wouldn't be afraid?
"Ms. Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to treat you to a meal." Aso Tairan said with a smile in broken Chinese.
Although he was smiling, the viciousness that flashed across his eyes made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
To be honest, this was the first time Chen Hui had encountered such a scene. It would be a lie to say that she was not scared at all. She subconsciously looked at Guo Chenglin.
At this time, Guo Chenglin was in front of her on the left, also protecting her with one hand.
"Is this how Mr. Aso invites people? Please move aside." Guo Chenglin looked at Aso Taihong with a somewhat cold gaze.
“I’m talking to Miss Shen.”
At this time, Aso Taira had no other choice. He had to make this hateful Chinese woman take out the Hachinohe Niao Magatama.
The family already knows about it, but due to the good diplomatic relations between Qatar and China, it is impossible to exert pressure openly. He must buy back the Hachinohe Niao Magatama, otherwise the consequences will be self-evident.
If you can’t buy it, you’ll have to rush to get it.
I hope this Chinese woman can be more sensible, otherwise don't blame him for being rude.
