Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 566 Mission: Retrieve the Horse Head!

"Long Dan Jun! I don't want anyone questioning my choice! This horse head is extremely important to us!"

Yamano, the elderly man, had a sharp look in his eyes as he stared at Long Dan Jun and said, "The Siheyuan might just be a successful investment product, but the horse head is different, with it we can accomplish a lot!"

"But, we can't just keep raising the bid following the other party's lead!"

Long Dan Jun shouted with agitation, "That would make us look like idiots!"

"You're right, we need to be the leader. If we let the other party lead us by the nose, we'll only end up in a passive position!"

Yamano's eyes lit up as he shouted with his bidding paddle, "Three billion!"

"Holy shit! Have you lost your mind!"

Long Dan Jun sprung to his feet, pointing at Yamano's nose as he cursed, "Three billion! To buy such a worthless thing! I'm going to call and impeach you right now."

"Whatever."

Yamano waved his hand as if Long Dan Jun in front of him was an annoying fly.

Seeing this, Long Dan Jun could only leave in a huff.

"Three billion! The esteemed guest from the Land of Cherry Blossoms has bid three billion!"

Wu Rou's eyes widened as she exclaimed in surprise, "And there's a higher bid... wait... a guest has called in a bid of three point two billion!"

"The latest bid for the horse head is now three point two billion!"

The digits on the giant screen behind Wu Rou changed dramatically, the string of numbers dizzying to behold!

"Three point five billion!"

"A bid of three point five billion from a guest in the private room!"

Wu Rou was now like a ruthless bidding machine. Normally during an auction, she would have to personally adjust the atmosphere, leading the crowd's bidding.

But today was completely different, with prices already absurdly high, only three parties remained, each with their own gambits.

"Three point six billion!"

"The esteemed guest from the Land of Cherry Blossoms has offered the newest bid!"

"Mr. Song, this seems to have exceeded our expectations. Last year, at the Zurich auction, the rabbit head sold for only one point four billion..."

Zhao Lu looked at Song Yun's calm expression and couldn't help but speak out and advise.

"Four billion!"

Song Yun announced the latest bid, "Mr. Zhao, and the result? The rabbit head was bought by outsiders. That auction happened because I wasn't there, otherwise I would have definitely kept up until the end."

Long Dan had just entered the venue with a cell phone when he heard the latest bid. Seeing Yamano about to raise his placard, he rushed up to him like a madman and held down his arm.

"Yamano!"

"Mr. President, we must acquire the horse head, it's crucial for a part of our future plans!" Yamano spoke urgently, "I suggest we give up on the siheyuan project and invest all our funds into the horse head!"

"You're possessed!"

The powerful voice of the President came through the phone, "As of now, abandon the bidding for the horse head and convene all funds to participate in the siheyuan project. This siheyuan holds an extraordinary significance for us as well!"

"..."

"Yamano! I hope you will heed my words, or I'll be forced to strip you of all your rights until the auction ends!"

"Yes..."

Yamano's gaze held a trace of reluctance as he looked at the horse head on the stage, then he passed the phone to Long Dan, "You've done it. From now on, you're in charge of all financial decisions; I'm leaving first."

The elderly Yamano clenched his cane, refusing anyone's support, and left the auction hall alone.

"Five billion! Is there any new bid?"

"Five billion, once!"

"Five billion, twice!"

"Five billion, thrice!"

"Sold!"

"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in the private room for securing the precious horse head!"

Wu Rou shouted with all her might.

Suddenly, a wave of applause erupted from the audience, not for anything else, but just for the fact that someone had spent five billion, which alone was worthy of everyone's respect!

"Our final item is not a painting, an antique, or a rare treasure, but a siheyuan located within the Second Ring!"

"As everyone knows, in our era, high-end siheyuans are known for their rarity and value and are generally priceless in the global market. Today, we are honored to conduct such an auction!"

"This siheyuan was formerly a princely mansion of the Qing Dynasty and has since passed through several hands before landing in the possession of Mr. Luo. After continuous renovation by Mr. Luo, this siheyuan has become a rare treasure of the world!"

"Now, let's turn our attention to the big screen and take a look inside this siheyuan!"

As Wu Rou finished speaking, the lights in the hall went out, and images of the siheyuan's interior began to scroll on the big screen.

The exquisite decoration and perfect layout revealed the meticulousness of the siheyuan in every detail.
