Chapter 0662 Can’t be too shameless!
This batch of material made of jewelry, although from the grade, can only be counted as A goods, but not up to the top emerald jewelry, but for women, always preferred red, is that this will be next to the booth, stood a lot of jewelry buyers, inquiring about the price of jewelry.
“Xuan Bing, our task is completed, right?”
Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuan Bing sitting in their own showroom inside the leisure sofa, some boredom asked, his mind this time, has long been running to a few sales of Chinese and foreign art in the showroom, for their own side of the business, Zhuang Rui is interested in the lack of.
“Well, the things behind, daddy has arrangements, we are nothing to do.”
Qin Xuan Bing nodded, she is not very fond of this kind of occasion, if it is not for the family’s business, she will not show her face at all.
“Come on, since it’s fine, you go back to your room and change your clothes first, then let’s go around, tomorrow I have an appointment with Ezkena, we’ll go back to Beijing after we talk about things.”
Zhuang Rui heard stood up, but the first thing is to let Qin Xuan Bing back to the room to change clothes, their women wearing so exposed clothing, was the crowd dead stare, Zhuang Rui heart but hate to take a sheet to Qin Xuan Bing wrapped up tightly.
Words again back, on the QinXuanBing neck that string of emerald necklace worth hundreds of millions of dollars, wearing is not at ease, the world, specifically so a group of jewelry thieves, staring at those expensive jewelry, QinXuanBing wearing necklace good-looking is good-looking, but also the root cause of the scourge.
After returning to the room, Zhuang Rui gave the necklace to Peng Fei, with him and White Lion in, it is estimated that no thief in this world can steal the necklace from their hands.
“Dang!”
In that luxurious office in the Paris Auction House, there was a sound of glass breaking.
“Shit, have you found out yet? Who the hell did this?”
Richard’s short and fat body, the voice that erupted, is comparable to the world’s first tenor, shaking the glass in front of him slightly trembling, while the crystal ashtray on the ground, was innocently divided into five horses, scattered in various places on the floor.
“Boss, we found out that the earliest time this video was spread out from a company in the United States, just that company …… that company has no connection with us, it is impossible to do this kind of thing.”
In front of Richard stood, is the auction house’s public relations manager Batkapu Raz, some external matters are handled by him, but for this auction door, Batkapu apparently also has no better way.
“What company? What makes you assert that there’s no connection?”
Daniel was also about to be pissed off by the video that had gone viral on the internet, because it had the part where he apologized, and it was filmed with exceptional clarity, with a close-up of his humble facial expression when it was captured.
His cell phone hadn’t been idle since early this morning, either some old friends calling to ask how things were going, or some peers calling with seemingly comforting but actually mocking calls, words of gloating that had Daniel’s phone scrapped before the crystal ashtray hit the floor.
Daniel was getting fed up and, always known for his calmness, he was now itching to get out the antique shotgun he had at home and blow the brains out of the person who had spread the video.
“That’s a ladies’ lingerie company, I …… don’t think it should have anything to do with them, it could have been a hacker.”
Bartcap was also annoyed, this video came out and made their company image suffer greatly, he was so busy this morning that he didn’t even have time to go to the toilet, his swollen bladder was a very bad taste.
“Shit, go hire a hacker and find out who the hell did this, I’m going to take him out!”
Richard at this moment is like a bull that has been teased sharply, not …… the image of a boar or more appropriately, waving his short arms, constantly spitting spittle in the face of Bartcap.
“Richard, do you think it could have been that kid yesterday?”
Daniel gradually regained his composure after venting, there was something fishy about this auction door, there should have been no reporter mixing into the conference room yesterday, and if it was a reporter who did it, then he definitely wouldn’t have sent the video directly to the internet, but would have definitely made an exclusive report.
“Should not be, I think …… may be our rivals did it, you have to know, in the next month to time, Hong Kong also has a special auction of Chinese art, it is very likely that they did it.”
After Richard heard Daniel’s words, the rage on his face instantly disappeared, and in its place came a look of gravity, to be able to mix to a position like theirs, can be more than just being able to curse on it.
“SHIT, a group of selfish guys, Richard, now it seems, this auction can’t reach the expected effect, we are not to lower the auction price, and those Chinese people have a good relationship?”
Daniel spat an expletive from his mouth, and then remembered the countermeasures, the auction houses that can compete with them are just a few, just a handful, and the relationship between several auction houses, although not to the point of incompatibility, but also from time to time friction.
So Daniel as soon as he heard Richard’s words, immediately Zhuang Rui on the suspicion ruled out, after all, that young man yesterday in the time of leaving, but also on their own to make the decision to express appreciation, should not turn his face to go to explode this thing, do people can not be too …… shameless, right?
“Good, rather this time our profit point is lower, also can not let those bastards take advantage.”
Richard tapped the table, immediately ordered up, let Bart Karp to notify Jefferson, the starting auction reserve price will be lowered back.
Zhuang Rui far away in England naturally do not know, his own hand concocted out of the auction door event, actually let those Chinese collectors who are still in Paris dipped, with a price far below the market price, to buy a lot of rare objects.
This thing also let stayed in these people tasted the sweetness, in the future of some international auctions, are spontaneously organized, with the power of the group to fight against the auction house, so that the value of Chinese works of art, although has been steadily rising, but did not reappear in an auction to be speculated on the situation of the plucked up.
“Achoo! Who’s cursing me?”
Zhuang Rui was holding hands with Qin Xuanbing, idly strolling through the various jewelry halls of the expo when he sneezed violently, the sound so loud that everyone around him looked towards him.
“Hubby, you won’t catch a cold, right? It’s all your fault for wanting it even after such a short while just now.”
Qin Xuan Bing first cared to inquire a sentence, but then it blanked Zhuang Rui a glance, the small hand is in Zhuang Rui waist pinched a bit, just now in the change of clothes, and then by this colorful wolf to that.
“All right, not a cold ……” Zhuang Rui grinned and grabbed Qin Xuan Bing’s small hand, said the woman pinched people, are picking up soft meat pinch, how to pinch so accurate ah?
“Will not be those two old boy found it?”
Zhuang Rui here will also be a bit of a thief, but the first and last of Viagra should be handled very cleanly, Zhuang Rui is not afraid of Richard and others to find after (counting) accounts, no evidence, their own death is not recognized on the line.
After fooling Qin Xuan Bing, the two came to a sale of handicrafts and gifts of the showroom, in foreign countries, antiques uniformly called works of art, its market norms and level division, than the classification of Chinese antiques to be more detailed.
In this showroom, there are some relatively dull color antique jewelry, in addition there are some oil paintings, of course, are some up-and-coming painters’ works.
There were also some rusty bronzes, which made Zhuang Rui interested, but when he walked to the glass booth and probed it with his aura, he was disappointed, all of these things, were actually all fake.
Zhuang Rui has long heard, in the Henan region, there is a village specializing in the production of bronze artifacts, craftsmanship is very superb, and do the old technique is also very clever, almost can be fake.
There are a lot of misbehavior of antique merchants, often go there to order bronze, but although the people there will make the object according to other people’s intention, but every sale of an object, will leave a bill backing, written on it, must be modern crafts.
In this way, even if those antique merchants take these things to cheat, they can’t find here in the village, even if someone comes to the door with a fake object, they take out a photo of the backing slip, and they can make the person who buys the fake goods speechless.
That village produced out of the bronze, there is another feature, even if the vast majority of them are exported, the village created a year of foreign exchange, accounting for more than half of the entire county.
From the manufacturing process of these bronzes, Zhuang Rui can almost conclude that these objects must have been brought out from the territory of China, and in nine cases out of ten, they were made in that village in Henan.
A few salesmen were giving some purchasers and tourists, selling the value of these things.
“Xuan Bing, let’s go, nothing to see ……”
These objects look in Zhuang Rui’s eyes, but is unattractive, strolling around did not find the contraptions that can make their hearts sing, Zhuang Rui shook his head and took Qin Xuan Bing, out of this showroom.
“Oh, dear Zhuang, I looked for you half a day.”
Just after walking out of the showroom, Zhuang Rui heard to his right, someone was shouting loudly at him, turning his face to look, he couldn’t help but smile, instead of looking at these boring objects here, he might as well go and take a look at this person’s collection!
“Mr. Ezkena, I’m glad to see you here, why, are you also interested in jewelry?”
The appointment between Zhuang Rui and Ezkena was tomorrow, because Huangfu Yun could handle things in New York tomorrow and rush to London to participate in this matter.
For an item transaction like Zhuang Rui and theirs, it was necessary to have a lawyer and a notary present, so that after returning to China, Zhuang Rui would also be able to explain the origins of these objects.
