In fact, these two items are the important Chinese national treasures they are determined to win. Like many Japanese companies, Lotte has always attached great importance to art investment, which is mainly for several reasons.

Investing in art can establish a good corporate image. Once an enterprise intervenes in the investment of art, it shows outsiders not only the company's taste, but also the company's strong capital. If the enterprise does not have strong capital, it generally will not get involved in art investment. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it is obviously more reliable to have economic relations with such a company.

Also, investing in art can preserve value and increase value and improve the economic benefits of enterprises. Nowadays, people have ranked artworks, stocks and real estate as the three major investment targets. Since the 1970s, the prices of famous calligraphy and paintings and official kiln porcelain, the mainstream products of artwork in China, have risen significantly.

The third reason is to expand the visibility of the company. The operation of the company in the art market is often very eye-catching and is also the focus of major media coverage. This move undoubtedly improves the company's own intangible assets once again.

In addition, companies can save considerable advertising fees when investing in art.

China's artworks have always been keen on by Japanese companies, and Lotte spends a huge amount of money every year. Of course, they also know that this is a matter of guaranteed gains by drought and flood, and a single kill of multiple gains.

Especially at present, many Chinese companies are involved in this market driven by commercial interests and patriotism. They often spend a lot of money on investment. Lotte is attracted by this and buys Chinese art works in large quantities, and instead sells them to Chinese buyers at high prices to make huge profits. Sometimes the profit is even more considerable than arms and drugs.

Masayoshi Eguchi was a little unable to sit still. Seeing that a heavy weapon had been snatched away, and when he couldn't figure out the background of the other party, he saw that the second item was going to be out of reach, he tapped the handrail with his fingers and said decisively: "Add 10,000 yuan, try him first!"

So Xu Jianqiu quickly offered a high price of 510,000 yuan.

Ye Chenghuan originally thought that he would still be calling them to death at a price this time, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to challenge him. He touched his chin and waved his pen, and then raised the sign high, "Go to you 510,000, no matter how big you are, you 90,000!"

The offer was raised to 600,000 pounds at a glance.

His quotation method is also unique, and this incision to play baccarat on the gambling platform made people confused.

Xu Jianqiu's palm was covered in cold sweat, and his hands holding the pen began to tremble, "That person is speaking in Shenzhou dialect, what should we do?"

Jiangkou Masayoshi condensed his eyes and sneered disdainfully: "It turns out that they are from Shenzhou. This is not surprising. They don't understand the art investment market at all. They only spend money aimlessly to play the patriotic card. They don't even understand the minimum business rules. Patriotism and investment are all different things."

"If we don't bid, it seems that others will not be able to bid. Such a quote has exceeded everyone's psychological expectations."

The corners of Jiangkou Masayoshi's mouth were slightly grim: "Same, this price not only exceeds investors' psychological expectations, but also exceeds market expectations. Even if they buy it back, they can only lose all their money. People in the art investment market will only attract attention with high prices. Their ability is at most one or two items, and the protagonist behind must be us."

In this way, the Jiangkou brothers gave up the auction after only once quoted the price, and the second item fell into Ye Chenghuan's hands without surprise.

The first two items are heavy objects, while the next few items are slightly inferior in value. The "Treasures embedded in green and white jade carved sea water horse patterns and bell patterns table screens" of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the "Top Jade Carved Pine Crane Ganoderma Lucidum Patterns" of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and other furniture and small items of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the prices of furniture and small items are between 30,000 and 60,000 yuan. For all investment tycoons, these items are considered as a rabbit during the New Year in the entire auction unit... If it is not there, it will still eat meat.

Anyway, President Lin left his words there before, so Ye Chenghuan ignored whether the thing was worth it or not. He was still the first to raise a sign every time, and the quotation was often nearly doubled, so he successfully won the next few items.

Despite this, his series of crazy actions have attracted the attention of all buyers and invisibly caused huge psychological pressure to people.

Seeing the items falling into someone else's bag, Xu Jianqiu was already sweating and chewing his teeth, "What is the origin of that person? Does he really want to take all the sizes?"

Masayoshi Jiangkou was also frowning: "I have never seen any Chinese man willing to make such a big deal in the art investment market, but it is not a big deal. Except for the first two, the rest are not very important tools. It is not too late to make efforts when the real heavy tools come out."

Sure enough, after experiencing several relatively mediocre items, the auction soon welcomed a heavy weapon. The "Gilded Bronze Manjushri Bodhisattva's Sitting Statue" in the Ming Dynasty was a disguised Manjushri with three heads and six arms. Each song has three eyes, two arms are clasped, and the remaining four arms are holding lotus, steam wheels, swords and pestles, simple spears, sun and moon wheels, and flames. The estimated price is 1 million pounds.

This time, Ye Chenghuan did not rush to raise the sign, but asked Lin Peishan first: "Baby, are you satisfied with my performance just now?"

Lin Peishan actually nodded. If it were another boss who brought such a stupid assistant, he would have been sucked by big ears long ago.

"I want to be more enjoyable, will it be?"

"You can do whatever you want, just help me take all the items."

After obtaining the permission of the president's wife, Ye Chenghuan was confident and looked around to see other people's quotations, only to find that everyone was waiting for him before he made a quotation.

Ye Chenghuan laughed in his heart. It was obvious that those guys were all shocked by him. No one dared to bid easily if he didn't make the first offer.

"Are we going to pay a high price?" Xu Jianqiu asked.

Masayoshi Eguchi shook his head: "Wait for the 16th first, and we will make a sale after he bids. From this lot, we have been biting his price. I will let him lose everything after an auction!"

At this time, the auctioneer had even shouted a few times but no one offered. Seeing that the item was about to fail, Ye Chenghuan did not raise the sign this time, but just raised his hand and stood up.

The audience's eyes gathered on him, and everyone wanted to see what earth-shaking actions this unpretentious Chinese man would do.

"It's him!" This time Xu Jianqiu clearly recognized Ye Chenghuan and couldn't help but say in shock.

Eguchi Masayoshi's mustache twitched: "Do you know him?"

"Yes, he is what I told you, the husband of Lin Peishan, president of Oriental International."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Eguchi Masayoshi finally looked back, "The woman sitting next to him is Lin Peishan?"

"Um."

Masayoshi Eguchi looked at Xu Jianqiu and said with a dark face: "If I remember correctly, you told me that you are classmates."

"Yes."

"How could she show up at this auction?"

"have no idea."

"What exactly does she want to do this?"

"have no idea."

Jiangkou Masayoshi grabbed Xu Jianqiu's collar and said fiercely: "Do you really don't know or don't want to tell me!"

Xu Jianqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I really don't know why she appeared here, and I don't know why she participated in the investment in the lot in this way. In fact, many of the things that the woman did in business cannot be guessed by others."

Eguchi Masayoshi slowly let him go and pushed him into his seat, "You don't deserve the surname of Eguchi."

"I know you have always looked down on me because I am a concubine and you are the chief, but I have never thought of replacing you."

"Do you know your Shenzhou surname is fake? Do you know that the blood of Japanese people flows in your body?"

"But... I still have half of the bloodlines of Shenzhou people in my body, because my mother is from Shenzhou."

"So this is why you don't get attention in your family. In fact, I would rather call Shenzhou China. You have half of the inferior Chinese blood in your body, so you will never deserve the surname of Jiangkou."

Xu Jianqiu said powerlessly without any resistance: "I have half of the inferior people's blood, so I can only give myself a Chinese name. I will never surpass you. In your eyes, I am just an insignificant assistant."

"Wrong! You are just a bad assistant, an assistant who can do nothing but fail! What's even more annoying is that you actually fell in love with a Chinese woman. What you have to do is not fall in love with her, but to let her serve our family, but what have you done."

"Love is boundaries and race..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped in the face. Masayoshi Eguchi cursed and said fiercely: "I will tell my father about this. What will be waiting for you? You better think about it yourself."

"I fell in love with a woman, it's that simple, I don't feel like I've done anything wrong."

"But have you ever thought that she will make an impact on our family business? What you have to do is to do everything possible to safeguard the family's honor."

"What do you want me to do? Do you use Japanese gang forces to stop her like you?"

"You and her are classmates, and as long as you use a little trick, you can make her fail."

"I'm sorry, I can do anything to others, but I can't do it to her."

"Bastard!" Eguchi Masayoshi slapped him again, "The blood of the Chinese people will only make you useless traitors!"

Xu Jianqiu covered his hot cheeks and lowered his head and said, "Maybe, the Chinese people are not as unbearable as you think."

After hearing this, Jiangkou Masayoshi was in great trouble. When he was about to break out, he realized that there had been major changes on the scene.
