Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

Shen Jiannan watched Yulong Inagawa kneel on the ground on one knee, very satisfied with the result.

Because before, although Yulong Inagawa called Shen Jiannan the same, it was just a name of respect and admiration.

Now, it's different.

Performing the standard samurai ceremony represents loyalty to Gan as a subordinate.

This is the cleverness of Inagawa Yulong.

If he simply took the knife, Shen Jiannan would only use him, and he would lose his old favor.

In this case, it would be too bad.

The First International is invincible, and the acquisition of First Quanye Bank has demonstrated extremely terrifying strength and capital. Being a subordinate does not lose points, but can gain more benefits.

Of course, Shen Jiannan also knows this, and appreciates Yutaka Inagawa's assessment of the situation.

Handing the knife to Yulong Inagawa, Shen Jiannan said: "Mr. Inagawa, why don't you try this knife."

The VIP room is huge.

Hearing Shen Jiannan's words, Yulong Inagawa stood up respectfully and drew out the knife, slashed it back and forth twice, and said full of praise: "It's really a good knife, Inagawa begs the Lord to give this knife a name."

On the side, Tang Dunhou was deeply speechless, admiring the brazenness of the Japanese.

Kneel down first, then ask for your name.

This is simply treating the boss as a father.

Shen Jiannan didn't have this kind of thinking. The Japanese social class is very strict, and it is what he should do for Inagawa Yutaka to please himself with all his heart.

After thinking about it, Shen Jiannan said, "It's called Cun Shaoguang."

Inagawa Yulong quickly thanked him, and carefully put away the long knife.

At this time, a new round of auctions began again.

It is a piece of armor from the shogunate era. This kind of thing is preserved in many Japanese folks, and it is not uncommon.

So, the auction is average.

In the end, it was auctioned off by a young man in the ordinary guest seat below for 5 million yen.

Gemstones, ancient jade, calligraphy and painting, porcelain.

After taking six or seven lots in a row, Shen Jiannan didn't make a move.

Following the introduction of the actress, two staff members carried a box onto the auction stage.

After putting it away, the actress lifted the red cloth covering it and said:

"Ding, there are legends and myths that play a pivotal role in Chinese history.

Rumor has it that King Xia Yu took Jiu Mu's gold and cast Jiuding under Jingshan Mountain to symbolize Kyushu, and engraved the figures of demons and demons on it to make people vigilant and prevent them from being hurt.

Since the legend of Yu Zhu Jiuding came into existence, the tripod has developed from a common cooking vessel to a traditional national heavy vessel.

When the country is destroyed, the tripod will be moved.

When the Xia Dynasty fell and the Shang Dynasty prospered, Jiuding moved to Bojing, the capital of Shang; when the Shang Dynasty fell, Zhou Dynasty prospered, and Jiuding moved to Haojing, the capital of Zhou.

From the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, the establishment of the capital or the establishment of a dynasty was called "Dingding". "

"The following lot is the finale item of this auction. This tripod is named Dongzhou Cuojin Oval Copper Tripod."

"."

Japan has been influenced by Chinese culture since ancient times. Some people understand and admire the importance of tripod even more than Chinese people.

Following the introduction of the actress, many guests present looked at the glass box with the red cloth opened.

A three-legged copper tripod with a cover stands quietly in a box.

This tripod is extremely well preserved.

The three legs are like animal claws, firmly grasping the bottom of the glass. The entire body of the tripod is glowing with bright gold, and it is perfectly connected in a patterned pattern around the entire body of the tripod. At a glance, one even wonders whether the tripod is made of gold.

The lid is more detailed, with a pair of symmetrical horse-shaped handles on both sides, which looks lifelike.

Shen Jiannan had seen the photos before, but they were only two-dimensional. Now that the tripod was slowly rotating on the auto-rotating display table on the auction stage, the visual conflict it brought was completely different.

pretty.

It is so beautiful.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, Shen Jiannan couldn't even imagine how the ancients more than 2,000 years ago made such a thing.

The golden pattern on Ding's body is as shiny as gold. Without CNC engraving, I really don't know how to carve such uniform lines so perfectly.

"The base price of this lot is one billion yen, and each increase should not be less than five million yen."

The exchange rate of yen to dollar is about one hundred and twenty.

One billion yen, that is more than eight million U.S. dollars.

This reserve price was already far higher than the sum of all the auction items tonight, so as the auction hammer fell, no one started to bid, as if they were frightened by this terrifying price.

But the silence is only for a moment.

Those who can come to the VIP seats here are either rich or expensive. Following the brief silence, someone in Box No. 6 immediately pressed the auction button.

Afterwards, the ordinary guests in the hall all looked towards Box No. 6 and found that it was Masaharu Matsushita of the Panasonic Group. Many people felt very strange in their hearts.

Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Panasonic Group, died of illness a few years ago, but he has no children and only one daughter.

Therefore, the Panasonic Group belongs to Masaharu Matsushita, who is the son-in-law and adopted son.

Getting a beautiful wife and having a net worth of hundreds of millions is such a good thing that anyone would feel envious of.

Sensing the gazes of the crowd, Matsushita Masaharu looked indifferent, as if the one billion yen he shouted was calling Chinese cabbage.

Of course, he also has this huge confidence.

The products of the Panasonic Group have already been sold all over the world, worth more than 8 million US dollars. If you can buy this tripod, it will definitely be worth the money.

A long time ago, Masaharu Matsushita wanted to buy an ancient tripod.

The founder, Konosuke Matsushita, passed away, and people in the group were fluctuating. I consulted the famous Feng Shui master, and the other party gave advice to Masaharu Matsushita, and he could find an ancient tripod to stabilize the country.

Therefore, Masaharu Matsushita moved his mind on the invitation letter sent by Dongyang Auction Company. The tripod body with golden lines is magnificent, luxurious and simple.

He fell in love with this tripod immediately.

So, Masaharu Matsushita asked the Feng Shui master to take a look. This three-legged tripod with wrong gold from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is very suitable for the current Matsushita Group.

When the actress auctioneer saw someone asking for a price, she immediately showed a sweet smile and shouted into the microphone: "The price for Box No. 6 is one billion yen."

One billion yen.

With such a number, ninety-nine percent of the people in the world are already hard to come by.

Therefore, unlike the lively auction before, there was no one to compete for the price all of a sudden.

However, Shen Jiannan was not in a hurry. The exquisite craftsmanship of this tripod and the historical glory contained in it must have many people bidding for it.

Although the Japanese economy has been hit hard now, in fact, those who have been hit hard are the middle class. The real top families have received news from the Ministry of Finance and preserved their strength.

And the history of Japan is doomed to have the least lack of rich consortia or families.

Sure enough, as the actress' voice fell, someone in Box No. 3 pressed the auction button again.

"The price for Box No. 3 is 1.1 billion yen."

"The price for Box No. 8 is 1.15 billion yen."

"."

"1.8 billion yen."

"."

After several rounds of bidding, the price of this tripod with wrong golden legs has been auctioned at 2.8 billion yen.

More than 20 million US dollars also reduced the number of people auctioned.

The ordinary guests downstairs have long since become spectators, whispering to each other from time to time as if they were watching a world drama.

The only real bidders were box six, box three, box eleven, box five, and box eight.

Shen Jiannan still wasn't in a hurry to bid, and drank his tea lightly, without any expression on his face.

At this time, Masaharu Matsushita was already a little uneasy. It was just the beginning of more than 20 million US dollars, but there were still five opponents.

Although he is now the chairman of Panasonic, he is not the only one who has the final say on the Panasonic Group.

Moreover, it is impossible to use the group company's money for the auction, and there is a certain limit to the funds he can take out personally.

Damn bastard.

Masaharu Matsushita cursed inwardly.

It's just that the opportunity must not be missed, and the loss will never come again. For this tripod, he is determined to win it.

He glanced at the direction where Shen Jiannan was. In the few rounds of auctions just now, this one has not made a bid, obviously not interested in this tripod.

For the others, Masaharu Matsushita was confident that these people could not be richer than himself, so he decided to force out some competitors as soon as possible, and force out the opponents who did not move.

"Four billion yen."

Being able to inherit the Panasonic Group, Masaharu Matsushita understood psychology very well, and directly quoted a price of 4 billion yen, which was a full 1.2 billion yen higher than the previous round of auction price.

ten million dollars.

A whole ten million dollars.

This move really worked.

On the spot, those who participated in the bidding before hesitated.

Masaharu Matsushita's tone was extremely flat, full of confidence, and no one was sure how much money he could use.

The scene immediately misfired.

The actress then shouted excitedly with the topic: "The gentleman in Box No. 6 bids 4 billion yen."

No more bids.

It seems that all participants were shocked by the price.

"Four billion yen for the first time."

Hearing the countdown of actresses, Shen Jiannan felt that it was almost the same, and prepared to rush to shoot.

At this moment, suddenly the lights in the second box lit up: '4.1 billion yen. '

Box No. 2 has not been involved in the auction before, because the balcony outside has a single-lens reflex glass. If the guests don't come down, no one will know if there is anyone inside.

At this time, the price in the second box was suddenly quoted, which immediately provoked many people present to whisper to each other.

"Tanaka-kun, do you know who is in the second box?"

"I don't know. But obviously, this is waiting for the final blow here."

"I really don't know which adult it is."

"."

Suddenly, another dark horse came out, and Masaharu Matsushita's face was a little ugly. He thought that the sneak attack just now was a sure thing, but he didn't expect another competitor to pop up at this time.

And this person waited until this time to make a move, I am afraid that he will be his only enemy.

Seeing that the actress started counting down again, Masaharu Matsushita had no choice but to press the auction button again and shouted: "4.3 billion yen."

Such sky-high auction prices are rare even in Tokyo.

The actress of the auction blushed a little with excitement, and felt very honored to be able to host an auction of this level.

soon.

The price was photographed at 5 billion yen.

Converted into U.S. dollars, it is as high as 40 million U.S. dollars. Whether it is the second box or Masaharu Matsushita, every time the price is increased, they become extremely cautious.

Finally, the price was pushed up by Masaharu Matsushita to 5.3 billion yen.

There was no sound in the second box for a long time, and it seemed that he was about to give up.

After all, this number is enough to buy a city in some small countries.

"5.3 billion times."

"Twice 5.3 billion."

Now, there should be no dark horses.

Shen Jiannan listened to the auctioneer's countdown, put down his teacup, and lightly pressed the auction button: "Six billion yen."

As much hope, so much disappointment.

Heiji Matsushita already felt that the people in the second box were forced to leave the box. When the auctioneer counted down, his heart was also in his stomach, and he just waited to get the goods later.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jiannan made a sudden move after forcing the No. 2 box back.

What does it mean to be afraid of what comes?

This is.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Ordinary people don't know Shen Jiannan's name, how could Masaharu Matsushita not know.

Before, he was worried that he would fight Shen Jiannan, but he didn't feel relieved until he confirmed that Shen Jiannan didn't seem to be interested in this tripod.

but now.

A huge humiliation weighed on Heiji Matsushita's heart, as if a pile of shit had been stuffed into his chest, it was as uncomfortable as it could be.

I didn't bid at the beginning, but when I thought I got it, I suddenly jumped out. Is this trying to humiliate myself?

asshole!

Damn bastard.

Heiji Matsushita's face turned livid, and he looked at Shen Jiannan angrily, not knowing how he had offended First International Capital, to embarrass him like this.

Now who can't see that he is determined to win this tripod, but this damn bastard made a move at this time. If he gave up in the end, he would not be laughed to death if he spread the news.

Six billion yen!

Heiji Matsushita clenched his fists and could only press the auction button again.

This is Tokyo.

It is Ginza.

If he just gave up in disgrace, he would become the laughing stock of the upper class.

"The gentleman in Box No. 6 bids 6.1 billion."

The female auctioneer shouted excitedly, her voice was a little hoarse from the excitement of being able to preside over such a grand auction in her career.

Shen Jiannan was not in a hurry to ask the price. Just now, he noticed that Masaharu Matsushita looked at him with a little anger.

What's up with this guy?

You don't think I'm waiting for him to cheat him on purpose.

Shen Jiannan felt that he was lying innocently. He really didn't mean to suppress Heiji Matsushita. The main reason was that the offer was quite tiring, so it was better to wait until the end and buy it directly.

Anyway, the money is not my own, and a lot of people give me money every day.

The Japanese stock market has rebounded a bit recently, and he is ready to go back and short the Nikkei to make up for the money he spent this time.

As for how much it is empty, it depends on how much it will cost this time.

At this time, he suddenly realized that Heiji Matsushita seemed very dissatisfied with him, Shen Jiannan shook his head, and asked Yulong Inagawa: "Who is that guy?"

Inagawa Yutaka still has a wide range of social contacts. Hearing Shen Jiannan's inquiry, he immediately replied: "It's Matsushita Masaharu, formerly known as Heyuan Masaharu, who worked in Taite in his early years, and later became the son-in-law and adopted son of Matsushita Konosuke in the Panasonic Group. Now he is the Panasonic Group President."

Shen Jiannan nodded, and as the auctioneer counted down to the third time, he pressed the bidding button again: "Seven billion yen."

Another billion yen.

Matsushita Shoji's teeth were almost broken, his face was hot, and he felt that everyone was laughing at him.

At this time, the assistant Igarashi Marubeni saw that he was going to bid again, and said in panic, "My lord, we can't take any more photos. The person in Box 9 is Shen Jiannan, CEO of First International Capital."
