Chapter 146: Seller's Market
Passamadi touched it for a full two minutes before reluctantly letting go of his hand, and then motioned for Creat to do the same, but Zhu Yu immediately stopped him:
"Are you sure? Is it what you are looking for?"
Kriyat was a little angry, but the thing belonged to Zhu Yu and there was nothing he could do about it.
He said a few words to Pasamadi, then nodded to Zhu Yu and said:
"Yes."
"Okay, let's talk about the price." Zhu Yu said.
"The price we offered before was indeed a bit low," Kryat said sincerely, "so we plan to offer $200 million - this is a very sincere price!"
"Please." Zhu Yu pointed to the door, "I said before that you had a chance to bid, but you wasted it. Goodbye!"
Kriyat was a little anxious, and he hurriedly said to Zhu Yu:
"We still have to discuss it, please don't be impatient..."
Then he said something to Pasamadi that Zhu Yu couldn't understand.
Passamadi glared at Zhu Yu and said a series of words, and then said a few words in not very standard English:
"This price is already very fair! Three hundred million..."
Zhu Yu glanced at Creat and smiled.
I bet this translator is still enriching his own pockets!
Kryat's face turned red.
"Three hundred million is not enough. It's too low." Zhu Yu said the same thing, "You go. I believe other Indian chiefs will be willing to take a look at this totem pole!"
Zhu Yu stopped coddling them and drove them away directly.
Really insincere.
After the people left, Zhu Yu touched the totem pole and enjoyed the cool feeling. It was really comfortable.
But it disappeared after a while.
Could it be that this aura slowly gathered?
But for the time being, Zhu Yu didn't find any use for this aura.
After putting away the totem pole, Zhu Yu got out of the container.
"Lock this place up." Zhu Yu said to Jason, "Find a few people to keep an eye on it and don't let others get close."
Jason agreed wholeheartedly.
"The next auction will be held tomorrow, Boss, do you want to come over and take a look?" Jason asked.
"No. I have more important things." Zhu Yu thought for a moment, shook his head, and drove away.
Back at the villa, Zhu Yu received a call from Kryat again until night.
"My father said, $500 million, we will give you something worth $500 million in exchange for that totem pole."
"Not enough." Zhu Yu's heart was hard, "It's far from enough!"
"But our Toumia tribe doesn't have many assets..."
Kryat was also very embarrassed to say.
Zhu Yu still had the same tone:
"Then go find it and borrow it. For the sake of your relationship with my uncle, I will give you two days. After two days, I will contact other people.
There are collectors in New York who are interested in this totem pole, and I think they will pay the money very comfortably!"
When Zhu Yu said this, Kriyat panicked a little:
"Please be sure to keep it for two days. I will discuss it with my father now!"
Kryat hung up the phone, and his father Passamadi was beside him and listened to him the whole time.
Kriyat relayed Zhu Yu's words, and Emperor Samadi's expression turned ugly.
There are not many people left in the Toumia tribe, but they do have a lot of money.
They were the first to cooperate with the Europeans who came over, and they were also the first Indian tribes to join the U.S. Army.
Although some people were killed, their vitality was preserved.
Not only that, as a leading party, they also helped the US military at that time plunder the wealth accumulated by several Indian tribes for thousands of years.
However, this was their first time seeing this legendary totem pole.
Passamadi also didn't expect to see the legendary totem pole, which is said to be a symbol of the gods worshiped by all northern Indian tribes.
Has magical power!
Moreover, Pasamadi touched it with his own hands and felt that it indeed had magical power!
The totem pole is a must!
"Go and count some of the assets here, including the villas, farms, and companies, and see how much they can be discounted."
Passamadi is old, but he still wishes he could be young.
Mainstream society in the United States looks down on Indians, but Passamadi came from that era and has heard his family talk about the magic of his ancestors since he was a child.
They are the real masters of this continent!
The United States has no history, but the Indians do!
Although it is passed down by word of mouth, it is history after all!
The legendary totem pole was right in front of him. He had already felt one ten thousandth of its magic. How could he let it leave his sight?
Must win!
Kryat was a little reluctant.
The private land given to the Indians in the United States was in the west. It was far less prosperous than New York, so he couldn't bear to part with it.
The only possibility for his father to count his assets is to exchange these assets for totem poles.
He didn't touch it and didn't know what the totem pole did.
He was unwilling to exchange the luxurious life he could enjoy for the cold things.
"Go! Otherwise, remove your management rights! You know, you are not the only son of mine!" Passamadi saw through Kryat's thoughts.
Kryat reluctantly went to count.
"The assets in New York State and nearby cities include seven villas, eleven farms, and one commercial building, with a total value of approximately US$700 million. This time we are bringing a check for fifty million..."
Kryat reported in a low voice.
Passamadi thought for a while and said:
"Give it all to him!"
"Nothing left at all?"
"Don't leave any! With this totem pole in hand, we will soon have more assets! Other Indian tribes will offer their property to us!"
Only then did Pasamadi reveal his plan.
Kryat suddenly became excited again.
If this is really the case, then just give it!
The next day, Kryat came to Zhu Yu to negotiate.
In the living room of Zhu Yu's villa, Zhu Yu was very surprised when he looked at the assets that Kryat took out under the protection of two bodyguards.
He didn't know much about these things, so he called Cathy.
"Seven villas, eleven farms, one commercial building, 50 million checks..."
Cathy was also a little surprised.
Totem poles are so valuable!
"The total value of these exceeds 800 million U.S. dollars." After reading it, Cathy said to Zhu Yu in Mandarin, "There is a value assessment by an authoritative organization, so there is no problem."
"Then... let's change it." Zhu Yu thought for a while, 800 million is almost enough.
Originally, his bottom line was one billion, but it was difficult to imagine.
To be able to talk about 800 million is already pretty good.
He didn't want to keep this thing in his hands anymore.
Zhu Yu took people, including Cathy, to the goods yard.
After opening the container, Kriyat wanted to go in for inspection, but Zhu Yu refused.
He went in first, and after a while, called Cathy in.
"They are eager to get this totem pole, maybe it has something to do with its touch... I'm just guessing. You can touch it."
Cathy is a little strange.
However, she had witnessed magical events when she was following Zhu Dajiang, so she didn't refuse. She touched the totem pole and felt the comfortable feeling.
Then Zhu Yu directly "sucked up" the feeling, and then let Kriyat and others come in.
Hand over the totem pole with one hand, and hand over the documents and formalities with the other.
There is still a process to go through the formalities, and Kryat said he would fully cooperate.
He also felt a faint breath.
Chapter completed!
