Liu Zhongyi's lips curled slightly. He had been in the antique business all his life, so his skill in negotiating prices was naturally first-rate.
He immediately said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kameda, but some things can't be bought with money! This fan is a treasure of our Great Xia. Why should we sell it to you Japanese? Do you think everyone is like your ancestors, willing to be traitors? Bah! Let me tell you, no matter how much money you offer me, I won't sell it!"
"You dare call me a traitor?"
Shinichi Kameda's anger flared, but he tried to calm himself down and said in a sinister tone, "Liu Zhongyi, you'd better think this through. If I can't kill you this time, there will be a next time, and the time after that. I can fail countless times, but if I succeed just once, your family will be dead! Also, I heard that your son and daughter-in-law are abroad. Heh, guns aren't prohibited abroad, so it's quite normal for something to happen to them!"
Liu Zhongyi's heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Shinichi Kameda, how dare you threaten me?"
Shinichi Kameda said calmly, "I'm not threatening you. My only goal is the Qiankun Fan. If you sell this fan to me, I can guarantee that from now on, all the grudges between our two families will be wiped clean, and I will never cause trouble for your Liu family again!"
Liu Zhongyi sneered, "You want the Qiankun Fan? It's not impossible, but we're both businessmen. I won't do a losing deal. If your price isn't right, I won't sell it to you under any circumstances!"
Seeing that Liu Zhongyi had relented, Shinichi Kameda's lips curled up slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, I'll give you one hundred million! You hand over the fan to me, okay?"
"One hundred million?" Liu Zhongyi's tone was somewhat disdainful. "This fan was something I received as payment for a debt of two hundred million. You think you can just give me one hundred million? That's not fair."
Shinichi Kameda frowned. "Then, I'll give you five hundred million?"
Liu Zhongyi remained silent, clearly still dissatisfied.
Kameda Shinichi was immediately annoyed and roared, "Liu Zhongyi, don't you dare ask for such an exorbitant price! It's just a broken fan! Five hundred million is already an astronomical price!"
"A broken fan?" Liu Zhongyi snorted. "Don't think I don't know. Not only are you looking for this fan, but the Martial Alliance is looking for it, and even the Young Marshal is looking for it! I believe there are other forces as well. If I sell the fan to the Martial Alliance, my Liu family will immediately receive powerful assistance. If I offer it to the Young Marshal, he will guarantee our Liu family generations of wealth and prosperity! These things cannot be measured in money. Giving me only 500 million is simply trying to fob me off!"
In truth, Liu Zhongyi had no idea what the fan's secrets were, but it was true that everyone was searching for it. His purpose in saying this was to inflate the fan's value and create the impression that it was highly sought after!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Shinichi Kameda immediately felt a sense of urgency!
He hadn't expected that so many forces were also searching for the Qiankun Fan. He had to act quickly; if other forces found out where the Qiankun Fan was, things would get really troublesome!
So he quickly said, "Okay, okay! Here's what we'll do: you name your price, and I won't haggle. Is that alright?"
Liu Zhongyi didn't waste any words and said directly, "I won't ask you for more, just... 10 billion!"
"One..." Shinichi Kameda gasped, then roared furiously, "You old bastard, this is extortion!!"
Ten billion!
Do you think this is ghost money?
Although the Kameda family has developed well in Japan in recent years, their assets are only a few billion yen. Ten billion yen is an astronomical figure for him!
Liu Zhongyi said calmly, "This is my price. Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, someone else will. At worst, I'll contact the young marshal later and present this fan to him!"
"Hey, no, no, no!" Shinichi Kameda said anxiously, "This is no small amount. Let me raise the funds first, and I'll get back to you later!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for you for an hour!" Liu Zhongyi said and hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Shinichi Kameda was in a state of extreme anxiety.
Ten billion!
He did a rough calculation and concluded that even if the Kameda family sold off all their assets, they would only be worth a little over six billion yen, less than seven billion.
We still have over 3 billion yuan, where are we going to get that from?
loan?
That's right!
This is the only way now!
With that in mind, he immediately took action.
First, he called home and immediately started selling his family's assets. Then he contacted his network of contacts and applied for a loan.
Shinichi Kameda personally contacted the higher-ups of the martial arts school to act as guarantors, and the loan of four billion yen was quickly disbursed.
After selling off all the family assets, they raised over 10 billion, which was more than enough to keep the family afloat. The remaining money was also enough to keep the family afloat.
Shinichi Kameda is really going all out this time, risking his entire fortune for the future of his family!
As long as I can complete the task assigned by the Flow Master and obtain the Qiankun Fan, everything will be worthwhile!
The Kameda family's properties are all of high quality, and they can find buyers quickly, but the procedures will take some time.
However, Shinichi Kameda already had a plan in mind, and immediately called Liu Zhongyi, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will personally come to Cuihua Pavilion to trade with you in person! But old man, you have to guarantee me that your Qiankun Fan is genuine. If you try to fool me with a fake, I will wipe out your entire Liu family!"
Liu Zhongyi replied calmly, "Don't worry! My Liu family is different from your Zhao family. We are the Mingjian faction and never sell counterfeit goods!"
"Okay! It's a deal!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhongyi immediately called Lin Yu again to report what had happened.
Ten billion?
Lin Yu was also shocked when he heard the number.
I didn't expect this old man to be so good at conning people. This is a huge profit!
Liu Zhongyi said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, as soon as Kameda Shinichi transfers the money tomorrow, I will immediately transfer the 10 billion to you!"
Lin Yu quickly said, "Old Liu, this is not my achievement alone. The fan was originally given to you by your friend as payment for a debt. You should keep the money for yourself. I hope your Liu family can promote the healthy development of the antique industry!"
Liu Zhongyi said in a panic, "Oh dear, that won't do! I'm just doing what you instructed, Mr. Lin. How about this, I'll transfer the money directly into your stock account, and you can withdraw it anytime!"
Lin Yu couldn't refuse him, so he had no choice but to agree.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu took out his brush, ink, and fan and began to paint.
He assumed the martial arts world wouldn't lack experts proficient in divination, so he used divination to manipulate the landscape painting, disguising it as a treasure map, and set the treasure's location in a mountainous area outside the pass. This place was perfect for an ambush!
Once the martial arts school deciphers the secret of this map, they will surely send a large number of people to the destination to search for the treasure, and then a great show of catching a turtle in a jar will unfold!
After finishing the painting, Lin Yu blew on it, revealing a satisfied expression. Then he called Feng Jiu, his tone full of murderous intent, "Move out the entire Dark Guard. This time, we must deliver a crushing blow to the Martial Arts School!"
