Chapter 0655 – Bowing Down

Richard’s auction house is headquartered in the United Kingdom, and he himself is also a Briton, and the place where he is now located is just a branch in France.

As the ancestor of the British aristocrat Richard, he from the inside, also look down on the Chinese, if not in recent years China’s national strength, the Chinese people’s pockets bulging words, he will not make a mediation gesture today.

What Zhuang Rui said now is considered to have hit Richard’s key point, letting him apologize to a Chinese youth who is lower than him in both age and status, this is something Richard can’t accept no matter what.

“Mr. Zhuang, I have already made my due gesture, and George, as the main person responsible for this matter, has also made an apology to you, I hope that you can accept his apology, and this matter will end here.”

The smile on Richard’s face had long since disappeared, in its place was a gloomy face, his patience with Zhuang Rui had already reached an extreme point, if it wasn’t for the fact that Daniel couldn’t stop making eyes at him, I’m afraid that Richard would have been unable to control his emotions and exploded.

“This is what you call an apology? This is your attitude?”

Zhuang Rui sneered and said word for word, “I’m sorry, I don’t accept it. I don’t think any of my compatriots behind me will accept it either, the negotiations between us have broken down, and my decision is to withdraw from this auction.”

Zhuang Rui’s words were like a bucket of ice water on Richard’s head, making him instantly sober up, he then realized that the young man in front of him, who was also considered a Chinese nobleman, was not something that he could arbitrarily rub in his face, and that the attitude in which he had spoken just now, or he had really made a mistake.

“Right, without a serious apology, we all withdraw from this auction.”

“They clearly don’t have any sincerity, let’s go, let’s go, wasted time running a trip for nothing.”

“Let’s go! There will be another auction in Hong Kong next month, let’s go there.”

The voices ringing around, let Richard’s face became more and more ugly up, he did not think, Zhuang Rui actually will have such influence, his decision, even will affect these Chinese tycoons who came to participate in the auction.

To know, before this auction, the Chinese government had also protested against this, but these Chinese tycoons still came to participate, if they withdrew from the auction because of Zhuang Rui, does it mean that the influence of this young man, but also greater than the government?

Richard does not know, things are not like this, the crowd support Zhuang Rui’s reason, mainly because Zhuang Rui just gave them a good idea, and can overwhelm Richard in the momentum, for the next auction, is also good, this is like a contest, who do not want to be weaker than the other side in the momentum.

“Alright! Mr. Zhuang, please stay, you win.”

Looking at Zhuang Rui standing up, about to walk towards the door, Richard’s short and fat body, like a balloon filled with air, suddenly deflated and became even shorter, with an expression on his face that he couldn’t tell.

“Mr. Zhuang, on behalf of XX Auction House, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you for what happened today, and my most sincere apologies for the harm caused to you physically and mentally.”

Richard walked to Zhuang Rui’s body, slightly bowed his body, and spoke the above words to Zhuang Rui in English with a London accent.

In the large conference room, suddenly became silent, this sudden transformation, not only let Zhuang Rui, also let all the people in the field, all feel a little sudden, see this international auction house in the predator, actually really bow to Zhuang Rui apologized, even give a person a kind of unreal feeling.

But then, is refreshing, everyone’s heart, like being poured by the rain in general, that kind of refreshing feeling can not be expressed in words, for a time, all the people’s eyes, actually are a little wet.

To know, with the development of China’s economy, Chinese enterprises or individuals, on the world stage is also playing an increasingly important position, but in some areas, are always held by foreigners, like the international auction house, there is no one is China’s. In these areas, foreigners have always been held by foreigners, like the international auction house, there is no one is China.

In these areas, foreigners have always been the development and implementation of the rules of the people, the Chinese can only passively participate in their rules of the game, but now, this kind of rule, vaguely broken, strong auction house owners, in front of Zhuang Rui, lowered that self-proclaimed noble head.

Soothing and refreshing. At this time, everyone has such a feeling in their hearts.

These Chinese present, are often to and from foreign countries, in business negotiations with others, more or less always feel the other side of the superiority, but at this time, this sense of superiority was broken, on the contrary, in front of Richard, their backs, seems to be more than usual to straighten a lot. And at this moment, they also all felt the power of unity, the will of the people, as long as the unity, this international auction house predator, the same to bow down and admit defeat, the same to make concessions, on the contrary, if only Zhuang Rui one person insisted on words, I believe that Richard absolutely will not make concessions.

Thinking of this, the people of Zhuang Rui proposed auction plan, confidence and full a few points, and on Zhuang Rui this young man, can not help but all impressed up, no longer because of Zhuang Rui’s age, to its have a trace of underestimation of the mind.

“Mr. Richard, China is a state of etiquette, pay attention to etiquette, for your apology, I accept, but, hardly you think, just with a few words, can make up for my hurt heart?”

Zhuang Rui words sound out, the scene suddenly crackling down a few glasses, in everyone thinks Zhuang Rui will push the boat down the slope when, who did not expect, Zhuang Rui actually will say something like this.

“Xiao Zhuang, this …… this ……”

Ms. Zhang behind Zhuang Rui, quietly pulled Zhuang Rui, she also think that today face enough, can end this row for the country’s glory, she is afraid that Zhuang Rui again make a fuss, don’t appear some bad factors to.

“Ms. Zhang, I heard that foreigners are the most pragmatic, I think they will not apologize with empty words, they should come up with practical actions, what do you think? Mr. Richard?”

Zhuang Rui said these words even more revealing, the meaning is very obvious, want to apologize, come up with some dry goods, don’t think that the upper lip touching the lower lip, things can be uncovered, the door is not there.

“This young man, not to be.”

“Yes! It’s really fearful, fearful later in life ah!”

“We should make good friends with this young man in the future.”

Some people in the field, also saw the clues, Zhuang Rui is borrowing the momentum, borrowing the momentum of more than a hundred Chinese collectors, to suppress Richard the international auction house predator, and the momentum has been, not afraid of Richard does not bow.

That’s right, Zhuang Rui is borrowing momentum, he let Richard apologize, in fact, initially is a kind of temptation, he is testing Richard’s bottom line, he is testing these Chinese collectors, whether he can let Richard fold.

The result of the test is, Richard softened, Zhuang Rui to not beat the dog, then he is not Zhuang Rui.

Although it is said that China is a state of etiquette, but Zhuang Rui on this four words pressure fundamentally did not have a trace of good feeling, the Kangxi years, and the old Mao Zi war, won the war instead of cutting out a large part of the country, which is subjected to a state of etiquette of the poisoned.

And ran to Taiwan that bald, after the victory in the war of resistance, and for some reason, give up on Japan to claim compensation, what is the result, that despicable nation so change the textbooks, do not recognize the history, and now on the contrary, a large number of economic plunder from China, this is all the fucking State of Manners caused.

On what grounds?

Why should we back down when we have the upper hand?

Why can’t we justifiably demand compensation?

Zhuang Rui may not care about that set, buddy today took advantage of the reason, not to knock you a bit, I guess the short fat man does not remember, Zhuang Rui is to let Richard remember, do not in front of the Chinese people in the future to show that kind of superiority in their own body.

“You …… you ……”

Richard was Zhuang Rui’s “shameless” angry face red, he has apologized in a low voice, did not expect Zhuang Rui put forward a more “excessive” requirements, actually let him in the material compensation, although Zhuang Rui did not say it directly, but the meaning of the words. Although Zhuang Rui did not say it directly, but the meaning of the words, it is a fool can also understand.

“Richard, calm down ……”

Daniel pulled Richard, since he was already ready to soften, there was no need to intensify things, Daniel could see that the more than a hundred Chinese behind him were all supporting Zhuang Rui at the moment.

As one of the world’s largest auction houses, they may not be afraid of which government, but for the super-rich of these countries, they do not dare to easily offend.

After all, if you want to do antique business, you still have to rely on them, you can’t sell this tens of millions of dollars worth of objects to ordinary people who earn a monthly salary of a thousand or so, right? They can afford it?

Now the consumption power of the Chinese people, has been in the world is famous, not only is reflected in the art auction market, is in those luxury goods stores, but also everywhere you can see the figure of the Chinese, there are a lot of international metropolis of luxury goods stores, and even will arrange the Chinese salesman, to facilitate those Chinese people shopping.

“Mr. Zhuang, your request is reasonable, in order to show our most sincere apology, the oil painting of Lang Shi Ning’s ‘Bust of Princess Chunhui’ that you have won, we will waive off its commission and the auction house’s handling fee, I don’t know if you are satisfied with such a result?”

After Daniel pulled Richard, and he whispered and conferred for a while, and finally gave the compensation plan that Zhuang Rui wanted, and their behavior also surfaced, the auction house side, completely and utterly bowed down to Zhuang Rui.

In this world, no one and money over, in front of the money bowed down, that is absolutely no shame, westerners especially sure of this point.
