Jia Min's Counterattack

Lao Yingying and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't understand the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words.Lin Ruhai slightly curled his lips into a smile and said, "Although the chief is not obvious on the surface, he is actually shrewd inside. It's not that he doesn't know the real intention of the elder to lead us to the auction, but he just doesn't want to tear himself apart with the elder. However, he And I don’t want to offend us, otherwise I wouldn’t suggest recommending gemstone mine owners for us.”

"Then why did the master ignore the chief's words and buy gems directly from the gem mine owner?" Eighth Uncle asked.

"Although I'm not afraid of the Great Elder, I don't want to be his enemy either. What's more, he has a good saying that the best gems should be in the hands of those foreign gem merchants, but it can be solved with a few extra silver. Why do you need to go to such trouble?"

Everyone also knew that although Linjiadao was the most powerful force, their small population was also their disadvantage. Many jobs needed to be done by the aborigines on other islands. For example, the two iron mines they sold were recruited by strong local laborers. Come to mine, otherwise the [-] hidden guards on Lin Family Island will not be enough.Therefore, it is very necessary for today's Linjia Island to maintain a good relationship with the neighboring islands.

"When this matter is over, the subordinates will send people out to find orphans, so that our Lin Family Island can also become prosperous as soon as possible!" Old Shadow said in a deep voice.

"How many orphans have been brought to the island now?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"Less than a hundred, and more than half of them are baby babies. There are only four who can become teachers. Grandpa Fifty said that these four will be servants and bodyguards for the young master, and the others will have to be trained a few more. Years will do."

"Well! When you go out to look for orphans, try to avoid those islands near us, and look for them everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. The most important thing is to rather than lack."

"Yes! This subordinate understands!" Old Shadow thought the same thing in his heart, so most of the nearly one hundred orphans on the island were found by Da Ming, and only a few were found from Korea and Tatar. Thinking about the young master might be of no use in the future.In their hearts, they still think that they are not of our race, and their hearts must be different. Of course, they should try their best to find Da Ming's orphans to be more at ease.

After coming to a conclusion, everyone stopped talking, and only waited for tomorrow to participate in the auction, so they all went back to sleep and didn't mention it.

The next day, in the evening, Rothlett sent someone to pick up Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai brought the old shadow and a group of people back to Rothlett's palace again.Several ice basins have been placed around the palace, obviously much cooler than when we came yesterday.

"Hahaha! Master Lin, this prescription you gave is really good. Look at how cool and pleasant it is in my palace!" Luotlit gave up his seat to Lin Ruhai happily.

There was also an ice basin in Lin Ruhai's carriage, so he didn't sweat much on the way. When he entered Rotlett's palace, he felt that there were two worlds compared with the outside, so he smiled and said: " Chief, although this ice can remove the dryness and heat, but if you use it too much, it will hurt your body, be careful of the wind and cold!"

"Oh! I see, I will pay more attention in the future!" Rothlett said seriously.Now Luo Te Lite is very convinced of Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai's words are almost golden words to him, how can he not listen to reason?

Lin Ruhai had dinner with him in Rotlett's palace, and then drove to the auction venue together.The auction was held in a restaurant near the pier.This restaurant was opened by a businessman from a western country, and of course the auction was also held by him.

Luo Te Li Te entered the restaurant together with Lin Ruhai, and saw a very tall middle-aged man walking towards them, saluting Luo Te Li Te respectfully.This man was extremely white, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a very exaggerated aquiline nose.Lin Ruhai glanced at Uncle 27 and got an affirmative answer from Uncle 27. This man is the one who met the Great Elder last night.

Rothlett smiled and introduced Lin Ruhai: "Master Lin, this is Mr. Smith, his father is an earl, and his family is considered a noble in their country. Mr. Smith, this is the owner of Lin Family Island." Island owner!"

"Hi, Master Lin! It's an honor to meet you? I've heard about you and your Lin Family Island for a long time. I've always wanted to get to know Master Lin, but I never had the chance!" Smith walked towards Lin Ruhai respectfully and gracefully. A salute.

Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, "Mr. Smith, you're welcome!"

Smith brought Rothlett and Lin Ruhai to a private room. The private room was not very big, with only railings on one side, facing a small round platform in the hall below.Smith ordered tea and fruit to be served and left.Not long after, the clerk of the restaurant brought in a brochure, which contained the items to be auctioned at today's auction.

Lin Ruhai glanced roughly, and saw a pink diamond and two bags of high-grade fire oil diamonds of different sizes on it. Yesterday, Uncle 27 clearly told him that the elder gave Smith a bag of gems, but today these gems It was actually divided into three points, this Great Elder was too greedy, did he really treat Lin Ruhai as a fool?

Lin Ruhai looked through it carefully again. Among the items in today's auction, there are only these three gems, and the others are spices, porcelain, pearls, silk and satin.It seems that the Great Elder really took great pains in order to let him sell those gems at a high price.

Lin Ruhai sneered in his heart, he could indulge the greed of the Great Elder, but he couldn't tolerate the Great Elder calculating him like this.Quietly winking at Old Shadow, Old Shadow nodded slightly, and quietly said a few words to Uncle 27, Uncle 27 left the private room in a flash while no one was paying attention.

After another cup of tea, the auction officially started.Today's auction is hosted by Smith himself. He is wearing a silver-gray western-style tuxedo suit, with a gold pocket watch hanging on his chest. He looked down at the time on the pocket watch and put the pocket watch in his breast pocket. .

"Dear guests, this auction is now officially started! First of all, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to everyone for coming, and I hope that everyone can get their favorite goods tonight! Then, we will start today's auction The auction of the first item..."

After several rounds of bidding, the first item, a pair of blue and white porcelain vases, was successfully auctioned off by a Malay.The next few items also found their new owners very smoothly, but the transaction prices were not very high. Of course, in Lin Ruhai's eyes, those items were just ordinary things that couldn't be more ordinary.
