Chapter 0653 – Apologize (II)
“Apologize, make them apologize.”
“Yeah! It has to be in writing, otherwise we all withdraw from this auction.”
“Make them admit their mistakes, face up to history, and pay compensation.”
That said, the ability of the people of the country to fall on the well, that is definitely one of the best, after Zhuang Rui’s words fell, immediately some people began to rise up, these people in their forties and fifties, all of them were also ignited by Zhuang Rui’s words at the moment, and they all used English to express their own opinions.
Richard and Daniel looked at each other, they did not expect, Zhuang Rui’s words and led to the crowd drumming up, at this time they heart, hate to be able to go forward to strangle Zhuang Rui this scourge, but now the most urgent is how to appease these groups of angry Chinese.
Daniel was unable to communicate with Richard in full view of the public, the two exchanged a look, Daniel said loudly, “Mr. Zhuang, gentlemen, ladies, friends, your request is reasonable, I want to discuss with Mr. Chairman, everyone please sit down first, and soon we can give you an answer.”
“No problem, the two of you please go ahead.”
Zhuang Rui made a gesture of invitation, at this moment, he was like the spokesman of more than a hundred Chinese people in this conference room, he did it smoothly, and other people also felt that they deserved it.
Waiting for Daniel and Richard to leave, Huangfu Yun heavily patted on Zhuang Rui’s shoulder and teased: “Brother, I did this lawyer for nothing! You got rid of these two in a few words, I think if you take a lawyer’s license, brother I’m going to have to beg for food.”
“Brother Huangfu, you’re joking, this matter today, it’s really up to all of you, little brother here thanks a lot.”
Zhuang Rui stood up, arched his hand at the surrounding crowd in a circle, the antique line is concerned about this, Zhuang Rui’s this behavior, but also let some careful people, the heart is comfortable with a lot of people, this day, but for nothing to this kid as a gun ah!
“What do you say, young people have impulse, that talk is good.”
“Yes! Nowadays young people, where still know these things, I’m afraid that even the name of the Yuanmingyuan have not heard of it!”
“That’s right, my boy, just know to play cars and games, are more than 20 years old, not a bit of success.”
“Who doesn’t? My daughter knows how to buy luxury goods all day long, and she knows how to dress up when she’s a young girl.”
Zhuang Rui just fell, the crowd came a burst of discussion, but these words said some outrageous, listen to the Zhuang Rui almost laugh out loud, that the family has a son, and the daughter just not a pair of well!
“Xiao Zhuang ah! I don’t know what kind of business you do in China?”
An old man in his sixties sitting next to Zhuang Rui suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
“Zhuang Rui, this is General Manager Liu, who operates non-ferrous metals in the country, and the company is doing very well in terms of scale.” Huangfu Yun on the side helped introduce Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui hurriedly stood up, after a greeting, said, “Mr. Liu, I do some jade business, opened a curio store in Panjiayuan, hehe, and you seniors can not compare, small business to make a living.”
“Oh, small business? Not really! Small business can come to the auction in Paris? Fearless, really fearless!”
Mr. Liu smiled and shook his head, somewhat unimpressed by Zhuang Rui’s words, which of these people sitting in the arena today doesn’t have a hundred million dollars? With less than a hundred million dollars, there is simply no base to sit here.
“Yes! Young man don’t be modest, you see we have fought all our lives, to this age, you guys are very young ah! And have impulse, good, very good.”
Zhuang Rui in the eyes of these people in the field, is considered relatively strange and mysterious, this chat, hula a group of people surrounded, to Zhuang Rui as the center of conversation.
But in addition there were also some people who were familiar with each other, sitting next to each other and chatting, the things that happened this time, were considered relatively rare, and provided them with a lot of topics.
“Hey? I remember listening to people say, recently this year, out of a gambling expert, known as the Northland Jade King, is also called Zhuang Rui, Xiao Zhuang, this is about you, right?”
These Chinese tycoons in the scene, there are also play jade, although not gambling stone, but heard of Zhuang Rui’s name, immediately inquired out.
“Oh, you overpraise, jade king dare not be, gambling a few times jade only.”
Zhuang Rui nodded his head and promised, these things are all in plain sight, as long as there is a heart can be found out, there is nothing to hide.
“Old Wang, what’s going on? Tell us.”
Most of the people in the arena didn’t know about these things, and immediately pulled the man who just spoke to inquire about it.
After that person reported out Zhuang Rui’s record of gambling on stones for more than a year, the way these people looked at Zhuang Rui again became a bit different. Although they do not know Zhuang Rui’s grandfather is Ouyang old master, but subconsciously think, Zhuang Rui can come here at a young age, must be relying on the elders of the family, but listening to that old Wang said, the crowd realized that, dare to Zhuang Rui’s hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth, are all their own earned.
The richer the man, the more worship than he will make money people, this is not divided into age generation, a time, and then someone and Zhuang Rui when talking, address on the addition of a “teacher” word. Of course, Zhuang Rui can afford this name, don’t look at the field of these people more money than him, but really proficient in antiques, but not a lot of people.
These people present, there are a lot of business is done after the big, want to pursue some elegant hobby, which began to play collection, more some people are directly to the antiques as an investment to do.
In short, really can identify the authenticity of antiques by themselves, probably more than a hundred bosses inside, there are three or five is very good.
“By the way, Huangfu, I received a call from you before, and I have some opinions about this auction, now that all of the Chinese at home or abroad are here, you might as well say it here!”
Ms. Zhang suddenly said to Huangfu Yun, for the loss of domestic cultural relics, she was also quite distressed, but with her current status, but it was not good to make certain remarks in public.
“Me? This is not something that I brought up, it was Zhuang old brother’s intention.”
Huangfu Yun froze for a moment after being named by Zhang Yongzhen, and immediately pushed Zhuang Rui out, he also saw that, don’t look at Zhuang Rui who usually doesn’t talk much, but in terms of talking to incite people’s hearts, he himself is really not as good as him.
“Hm? Xiao Zhuang, it’s your opinion? Come on, say it!”
Zhang Yongzhen will not call Zhuang Rui teacher, and Zhuang Rui can not afford to be, others are heir to three generations of the collection family, their own heritage can be far worse.
“Good, then I’ll talk about it.”
Zhuang Rui also did not pretend, loosened the hand that had been holding with Qin Xuan Bing and stood up.
“Everyone, in terms of age I’m a junior, in terms of collecting, I haven’t been playing for even longer, I wasn’t qualified to speak here, since Ms. Zhang named me, I’ll just casually say a few words!”
Zhuang Rui’s words made the people who were originally chatting individually, all turned their gazes over to focus on Zhuang Rui.
“I studied under Uncle De in Zhonghai, when I first joined the profession, I heard the most words, that is, the best of Chinese antiques, all of them are in foreign countries, the reason, I don’t need to say more, we all know. More than a hundred years ago, the country is weak, many of the objects left behind by the ancestors, have been lost to foreign countries, these accounts, and can not be counted on our head, but we have a responsibility to make these lost out of the return of national treasures. This is the main reason why we can gather together now, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, like Ms. Zhang, Mr. Liu, I’m afraid that they are all holding this mindset, to participate in this auction, right?”
Zhuang Rui’s words made both Ms. Zhang and General Manager Liu nodded slightly, they were seeing inside the auction catalog, there were a few treasures, that’s why they rushed to Paris to participate in this auction, just as what Zhuang Rui said, they wanted to let the national treasures return.
“With the corresponding price, buy back our country’s antiques, although emotionally, I can barely accept, but some foreign auction organizations, in collaboration with the owner, deliberately raise the market price of Chinese art. Many bronzes and national protected cultural relics that can not be traded in the country are smuggled by these international speculators, transported to foreign countries, and in turn sold at a high price to everyone here. I personally feel that this behavior is in the use of force after the invasion, from the economy in the looting us, although you are present at the rich, may not care about the 10 million 20 million, but this behavior, is to be condemned. In addition, I also want to make a point, is that we are in the foreign high-priced objects, take back to the country may not be worth so much money, want to collect investment friends, or choose a more rational price, otherwise it may be a failed investment.”
Zhuang Rui threw the words, drew the crowd pondered, they have thought about similar issues before, but no one has ever said so clearly, pointing to the essence of the matter.
Whose money is not windy, such as Ms. Zhang and other collectors who do want to buy back the loss of cultural relics in foreign countries, needless to say, is that those who want to speculate on the investment of businessmen and bosses, the heart also began to weigh the pros and cons to come.
“Xiao Zhuang, but if we don’t bid, we won’t be able to auction these things!” Someone in the arena raised an opinion.
Zhuang Rui nodded and said, “Yes, these international speculators are utilizing the patriotic mentality of all of you here to speculate sky-high prices on antiques that weren’t originally worth that much. For the original intention of all of you, I personally admire, but for this behavior, I do not agree, this will lead to Chinese antiques in the international market prices inflated, for the collection of this line of work in the long term development, is not any good.”
After Zhuang Rui finished this paragraph, the conference room became quiet, Zhuang Rui’s reasoning is very superficial, anyone understands, but very few people to think about this issue.
