Chapter: 5320

Luckily, this year's Spring Dan auction was the first one, and most of those who got the news were tricked by the old queen of Northern Europe, helping some traditional European aristocrats. However, the true top-tier plutocrats didn't show up, and Ye Chen's older cousin only participated in the auction as a personal affair rather than making an ancestral decision.

Now, Ye Chen has gained some insight into the Broken Clear Society and knows that this organization is extremely powerful. He also killed or captured many dead soldiers and horsemen while in America and Northern Europe, so he believes that at present, the Broken Clear Society would be very vigilant. Under such circumstances, if we were to hold another auction, it might not be wise to try to keep a low profile, as it could lead to trouble.

So Ye Chen's plan is to put off the auction next year and wait until he has resolved the internal threat or the Broken Clear Society is no longer a fatal enemy. Then he can restart the auction.

Ito Mina may not know about the Broken Clear Society, but she picked up on Ye Chen's cautious tone and didn't hesitate to say: "Since there are risks involved, it would be better to put off the auction for now."

As she spoke, Ito Mina suddenly thought of something and opened her mouth to say: "However, Mr. Ye Chen since you're concerned about exposure, I actually have an idea that's not sure if it's feasible......"

Ye Chen curiously asked: "What kind of idea? Please go ahead and share."

Ito Mina said, "I think it's possible to give the Spring Dan auction a new approach. For example, we can temporarily not publicize it externally and don't use open registration. Instead, about one or two months before the event, the organizing committee will privately invite people who participated in last year's Spring Dan auction, inviting them to participate in next year's auction again. These people have already witnessed the magic of Spring Dan last year, so next year, it wouldn't be a secret anymore."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and smiled, saying, "Mina, your idea is very good! Although these people have participated in the Spring Dan auction before, most of them returned empty-handed. They will definitely look forward to the next one and won't refuse when invited again."

Ito Mina nodded, saying, "And these people all know the principle of ' silence brings wealth.' They understand that the more competitive it is, the smaller their own wishes are, so they wouldn't spread the news about Spring Dan. The auction will definitely run smoothly."

As she spoke, Ito Mina added, "Since we're adopting an invitation-only approach, if Mr. Ye Chen wants to invite special guests, he just needs to quietly conduct a background check on them, confirming that they have no connection with his internal enemies before sending out the invitations. This way, it will also avoid leakage of information."

"Good idea," Ye Chen couldn't help but praise, thinking to himself about his relative, An Chongqiu.

If we follow Ito Mina's approach, although Mr. Ye Chen knows that An Chongqiu is using a fake identity, next year when he hosts the second Spring Dan auction, he will also send out invitations according to the rules, without knowing whether An Chongqiu will show up at the event or not.

After all, Mr. Ye Chen has set the rules for the Spring Dan auction - everyone who is successful in bidding must take the elixir on site.

In that case, even if An Chongqiu receives an invitation, he can only bid for himself to improve his family's filial piety towards their elderly relative, and it's likely that he will give up this opportunity.

Thinking about this, Ye Chen couldn't help but ponder whether he should publicly announce a back door, sending out an invitation for him to attend the auction next time. That way, he would definitely have the ability to bid on the entire Spring Dan, and his physical condition would also improve significantly.

However, doing so would mean that Mr. Ye Chen would at least earn an additional 10 billion dollars from Grandfather, but he felt that this money was somehow too "burning."

So Ye Chen also decided not to think too much about it and decided to wait until next year's auction was truly set in motion before considering this issue.

Zhou Renyu and Zhou Rufang, sisters, were quietly listening on the side. At this moment, Zhou Renyu had already harbored jealousy in her heart, seeing that Ye Chen had a bias towards Cai Caicuo, but she didn't expect that Cai Caicuo could also plot with Ye Chen's interests, feeling like the two were a match made in heaven, and she was envious from the bottom of her heart.

On the side, Zhou Rufang also had a subtle sense of jealousy, but her mentality was generally more optimistic than Zhou Renyu's. In Zhou Renyu's mind, Ye Chen was her benefactor and love, while in Zhou Rufang's mind, Ye Chen was not only her benefactor and love but also her master.

This is because Zhou Rufang had long decided to devote herself to Ye Chen for life, so Ye Chen was like an emperor to her. As a result, she didn't hope that she could develop anything with Ye Chen.

As the saying goes, there's no expectation without disappointment. In this respect, she was much more carefree than Zhou Renyu.

Noon.

Cai Caicuo temporarily put aside her flower arrangement business and turned to Ye Chen as everyone was about to take a midday break, saying, "Ye Chen, Eudos is already waiting for your arrival at Tongchen One. Shall we leave now?"

"Alright." Ye Chen readily agreed, saying, "Let's sit in my car, shall we?"

"Yes!" Ito Minako nodded and instructed her maid to take a rest in the hotel room, while she herself prepared to go with Ye Chen to see her father, Ito Yohiko. JrNovels.com
