Mr. Hao is the owner of the magic city, and for the promotion of the auction, he did promise such conditions to the senior members of the club. And a rich man like Yu Zongwen is naturally a senior member of the club, and he does have the qualifications to put forward this condition.

After the auctioneer consulted with the leadership, the auction was temporarily suspended. It didn't take long for two top painting and calligraphy appraisers from the auction house to come to the stage.

The appraisal time of the two appraisers was not long, no more than 10 minutes, and after the two exchanged opinions, they looked at Mr. Hao, the owner of the club, who was already waiting next to him.

Mr. Hao walked to the side of the two appraisers, and one of the appraisers whispered: "Mr. Hao, after the appraisal of the two of us, we all agreed that this painting is indeed a fake, which should be imitated in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the previous appraisers may have neglected this point when appraising." ”

Although Mr. Hao is not the owner of the auction house, as the big boss of the magic city that works closely with the auction house, he still feels a headache when he encounters this kind of thing.

In front of everyone's eyes, now is not the time to hold the auction house accountable, he must give everyone an explanation immediately, otherwise, the reputation of the auction house and their magic city will be damaged, and it may be difficult to invite so many guests at the next auction.

If the guest who finally bids for this painting is not a senior member of the clubhouse, as long as he sincerely apologizes and gives a certain amount of compensation, the matter should not be difficult to solve.

But it was Yu Zongwen, a senior member of the club, who bid for this painting, so he had to fulfill the promise he had given. Although the compensation of 67 million yuan made him very big, for the sake of the integrity of the auction house and their demon capital, he had to compensate Yu Zongwen with a lot of money.

Fortunately, the main party responsible for the appearance of the counterfeit should be the auction house, not their magic city, and the auction house should be responsible for a large part of this compensation, if not completely.

Mr. Hao's brain was spinning rapidly, and he quickly made a decision.

He walked straight up to the auction table and announced loudly: "First of all, I want to sincerely apologize to all the guests at the Yu Zongwen Yu General Venue. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Hao bowed deeply to everyone very sincerely.

Then, he continued: "This painting was temporarily provided by Mr. Kameda Ichiro of Hijima Sankando Hikoto, and because of the rush of time, the auction house was too negligent when appraising it, so the fake was allowed to enter the auction procedure. Whatever the reason, there is always a problem in the appraisal process, and the auction house and our magic club are willing to take all the responsibility.

As Mr. Yu just said, I did personally promise to the first batch of senior members that we businessmen attach the most importance to integrity, and since I promised, we must do it. Here, I announce that the auction house and our magic city will compensate a total of 67 million according to the agreement, please be a witness and supervise the implementation. ”

As soon as Mr. Hao's words fell, there was a warm applause at the venue.

67 million is not a small number, and not everyone has the courage to do so.

Before Mr. Hao stepped down, a middle-aged man with a fat body came up to the stage under everyone's gaze.

After taking the stage, he first bowed to Mr. Hao, and then turned to face the direction of the venue and bowed deeply to everyone present.

Then, he sincerely apologized, "Friends of the auction house and the magic city, and all the guests present, hello everyone, I am Kameda Ichiro from Sanguantang Hi-Tech. I'm sorry, but the painting I submitted turned out to be a fake. This painting has been treasured in my hands for 20 years, and I always thought that it was Wen Zhengming's real work, but I never expected this to happen.

I believe in the two experts at the auction house, but it is difficult for me to accept this fact emotionally, and I will find the relevant experts to do the appraisal again in the future.

Such an accident is not something that everyone would like to see, let alone what I would like to see. I'm ashamed now, and to make up for it, I'm going to put up a new treasure for auction. I've arranged for an assistant to pick it up, and I'm sure I'll be able to pick it up before the auction ends. I hope that this treasure that I have resubmitted will be satisfactory to everyone, and please allow me to apologize again for delaying you for so long. ”

Although it is said that there was a fake at the auction, and the main responsible party is the auction house, Kameda Ichiro, the consignor, is also a big loss of face. In order to save face, regardless of whether Kameda Ichiro knew that the painting was a fake or not, after he apologized in public and saved it, it was not good for everyone to put the blame on him again.

After the turmoil, the auction continued.

The following auction is a piece of jewelry, and Zheng Xiaowu and others are not interested, so they no longer pay attention to the auction situation on the spot.

With Xiao Yao's reminder, Yu Zongwen received 67 million yuan in compensation for nothing, which is not a small amount, Zheng Xiaowu joked to him: "Today you have taken a big advantage, you got 67 million for nothing, you can't swallow this money alone, the five of us must all have a share." ”

"Why are you so big-faced? What does it have to do with you that I got this 67 million? This money belongs to me and the president, and the three of you don't have a share, at most, I will invite the three of you to a big meal. Yu Zongwen said triumphantly.

"Your money is too easy to come by, even if you can't see the person who has a share, you can't send us away with a meal, right? Anyway, you have to give each of us a gift, we don't ask for much, you can take a picture of each of us for three or two million antique works of art later." Wen Yifei was also on the side.

"The president can sit next to you, you are so blatantly sucking the blood of the president, be careful that the president will put on your little shoes in the future. Yu Zongwen pointed at Xiao Yao and said.

"I'm not going to use this as a shield for you. Xiao Yao directly dismantled the stage, "If it weren't for the fear that this fake would fall into your hands, I wouldn't be this villain." With such a large amount of money, I also think that the person who should see it has a share, but the distribution power must be in your hands, and if you think you have a good relationship with whom, then you will allocate a little more to him. ”

"President, we are in the same boat, is it appropriate for you to dismantle my platform?" Yu Zongwen looked bitter.

Zheng Xiaowu immediately said: "I think it's quite appropriate, if this fake falls into your hands, the person who lost 67 million will not be the auction house, but you." Counting your losses, the president's words are equivalent to saving you 130 million. How to distribute it below, but the most important thing to see, a few of us are watching from the side. ”

"I've seen it through, and I can't make friends with anyone I can't make friends with you. Yu Zongwen glared at Zheng Xiaowu fiercely, "Originally, we discussed the distribution of 67 million yuan, but if you say this, this number will be doubled directly, and I will suffer a big loss, are you very happy?"
