Everyone is curious about what kind of gift Mr. Dudley Bussezon will bring to the American colonel.

A box was delivered to Dudley.

It seems that this box is not big.

But seeing the solemn look on Dudley's face, everyone's curiosity was aroused.

Dudley opened the box carefully.

A bronze mirror with only half of it appeared in front of everyone.

Holy shit!

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

I was so curious by you that I thought you were sending me some great treasure, but you ended up sending me half a bronze mirror?

Dudley didn't notice anything strange about "Colonel Charles" at all, and said proudly: "Colonel, everyone, look at the Mindoro Bronze Mirror from the 'Mayi Kingdom' era, the charming light it emits.

Cai, don’t you look like a charming girl?”

To be honest, this is really a cultural relic, and it has a long history.

It is of certain value from the perspective of cultural relic inspection and research on Philippine history.

The problem is that Meng Shaoyuan and Master Meng have seen too many cultural relics like this.

Moreover, this kind of half-bronze mirror is extremely rare for Filipinos, but for the Chinese, it is an ordinary cultural relic.

Most of the people on the side were Filipinos, so there was a burst of exclamation.

There are also many people observing the complex.

The same goes for Grayson.

Of course he admired the half bronze mirror.

But compared to the bronze mirror, what he cared about more was Colonel Charles.

He soon discovered that Colonel Charles had no joy at all on his face, but instead had a slightly disgusted expression.

His heart suddenly brightened, and amid the admiration of the people around him, he said leisurely: "Mr. Dudley, in my opinion, this bronze mirror is actually nothing more than that."

With one sentence, everyone suddenly became quiet.

Anger flashed in Dudley's eyes.

But he quickly controlled himself: "Mr. Grayson, why do you say that?"

"It's only half a fan." Grayson said slowly: "This is not very exciting in terms of research value or any aspect."

In fact, this is just him trying to make excuses.

But this is what Grayson said. Even if someone wants to refute it, who would dare to speak at a time like this?

Originally, Dudley still wanted to argue with his arguments, but at this time Meng Shaoyuan had already taken the lead to speak: "Although I agree with Mr. Grayson's statement, in any case, I represent Mr. Dudley and even the Busaizong family.

I am very grateful for your thoughtfulness.”

Dudley felt relieved.

But then I noticed something was wrong.

Why is it that the Busaizong family is involved?

"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan finally brought the topic to the real purpose of this dinner: "The reconstruction work in the Philippines has a long way to go, and as more and more areas are recovered in the Philippines, there are more and more victims. Especially recently, a large number of people have

Disaster victims poured into Manila.

Relying solely on the power of the United States to maintain the security of Manila has reached its limit. We are already unable to rescue these victims. The interim government of the Philippines is also facing huge difficulties. Therefore, I think we should rely on the official

Let’s work with the people to solve this problem.”

Upon hearing this, the guests had roughly guessed the colonel's true purpose.

Grayson immediately said: "Colonel, rebuilding Manila and relieving the victims are things that the Philippines should be responsible for. Now that the United States has taken the lead in taking on such a heavy task, we are extremely grateful. So if anyone needs us, please

Just ask."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Okay, in that case, let me get straight to the point. After discussions with the Philippine interim government, we decided to establish the 'United Relief Foundation' with me as the chairman. Gentlemen, but in terms of funds, we need

The foundation will solve it itself."

Grayson couldn't wait to say: "Colonel, I am willing to fund it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Grayson." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "Now, everyone is actively participating in post-war reconstruction, and we will not let everyone take out money for no reason. After working with the interim government

After discussions, we decided to take out a batch of precious cultural relics and auction them on site!"

Following his voice, a group of American soldiers moved in artifacts one by one from outside.

"These were all looted by the Japanese army in the Philippines." Meng Shaoyuan did not even glance at the cultural relics: "Later, the Japanese army was defeated, and these cultural relics returned to our hands. We believe that now is not the time to consider research, but how to make these cultural relics

Things bring out their greatest value!”

When it comes to making money, who can compare to Master Meng?

These cultural relics were indeed snatched back from the Japanese army, and Meng Shaoyuan had no way of stealing them for himself.

Now, the cultural relics that are originally Filipino are sold to Filipinos and then invested in this foundation.

He, Master Meng, is the chairman of this foundation.

Where does the foundation's money go?

That...only God really knows.

Now, Dudley finally knew why the colonel ignored his gift.

I only arrived with half a bronze mirror, but what about others? They actually started the cultural relics auction directly.

This is like a slap in the face.

Dudley was embarrassed, but Meng Shaoyuan's unexpected voice sounded again:

"I am very grateful to Mr. Dudley Busazon for the gift, so I decided to add this bronze mirror to the auction, and all the proceeds will go into the fund. Moreover, it will also become the first cultural relic to be auctioned!

"

Dudley was confused for a moment.

this?

Are you going to auction off the things you gave me?

You have to take a photo of it yourself.

Otherwise, the things I gave you will be taken away by others?

I am afraid that I and the Busaizong family will become a big joke.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't care what he was thinking and cleared his throat: "The starting price of this bronze mirror is five hundred US dollars. Each increase in price must not be less than one hundred US dollars."

The starting price of five hundred US dollars is already very high.

It seems that this is respect for Dudley, but in fact, the pain involved is probably only known to Dudley.

He bought this bronze mirror for a total of only two hundred dollars!

"Six hundred, I'll pay six hundred!"

Not surprisingly, Grayson was the first to make an offer.

What else? We must keep up!

No matter who gets the bronze mirror, Grayson can't get it!

"Seven hundred!" Dudley gritted his teeth and reported the price!

"One thousand! I'll pay you one thousand dollars!"
Chapter completed!
