Chapter 963: 250 million!
Liu Shaoquan opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he felt that in front of Xia Yu's words, everything he said seemed pale and weak, and no reason could stand!
Many things are right or wrong, and it takes time to verify.
But there is one thing that can be directly discerned, and that is whether it is politically correct or not.
The last eight words of Xia Yu are political correctness, he can't overthrow it, and it can't be overthrown!
Even Zhuang Siping and Wang Kuancheng, who were awarded positions in the mainland, had no hope at all, and could only lament for Liu Shaoquan in their hearts.
Bao Yugang said in his unique loud voice: "Dean Liu, Ah Yu is right, Xiangjiang is the land of China, and the Yongle Ceremony is no different from the country in Xiangjiang. ”
"And you can rest assured, since Ayu has promised that he will not transfer the "Yongle Canon" again, then he can do what he says, I can vouch for him!"
Xia Yu smiled at Bao Yugang.
Liu Shaoquan smiled a little reluctantly, nodded and said: "What Mr. Xia said is right, in Xiangjiang is also in Huaxia, I believe that Mr. Xia can do what he says, otherwise his career will not be so big!"
"And I also have to apologize for my words, I lost my words, please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he bowed to Xia Yu and Hua Shengshi and apologized.
"Dean Liu, you don't have to be like this, you are also patriotic and enthusiastic, how can you be wrong about loving the motherland and the nation!"
Xia Yu hurriedly dodged and held him up, and said with a smile.
Liu Shaoquan was in a slightly better mood, gave Xia Yu a smile in response, then looked at Zhuang Siping and others, bowed again and thanked him: "Gentlemen, I also sincerely thank you, it is you who have made me truly appreciate the patriotic enthusiasm of overseas compatriots!"
Zhuang Siping also responded politely one by one.
For a while, the atmosphere in the reception room gradually eased.
Liu Shaoquan also figured it out, although as the director of the Palace Museum, he would definitely have regrets if he couldn't bring back the "Yongle Ceremony".
But fortunately, the worst situation such as the "Yongle Grand Ceremony" was bought by foreigners did not happen, and the national treasure remained in Xiangjiang.
And with Xia Yu's last sentence, he will also be able to go back to hand over the errand, and the leaders of the ministry will definitely not have any blame.
However, since he came to Xiangjiang, he didn't take a look at the one hundred and twenty-two volumes of "Yongle Canon" that the Palace Museum did not have, and Liu Shaoquan was not reconciled.
He asked, "Mr. Xia, I don't know if I can take a look at these Yongle Canons these days?"
This request is not difficult, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Of course no problem, Dean Liu may wish to stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days, in addition to the "Yongle Ceremony" just photographed, the Kowloon Cultural Museum also has nearly 12,000 antique cultural relics, although it is far less than the Palace Museum, but there should be many you have not seen." ”
Liu Shaoquan was shocked, his eyes widened and he said, "There are nearly 12,000 cultural relics?"
"Then of course I'll have to take a good look!"
Huo Yingdong and the others were also surprised.
Huo Yingdong sighed and said, "Ah Yu, I didn't expect you to collect so many antiques, amazing!"
Bao Yugang also sighed and said: "Yes, I have built a museum quietly, and I am a model for my generation!"
Zhuang Siping nodded and agreed: "With 120 million cultural relics, it is easy to surpass the original museums in Xiangjiang, and we overseas Chinese have a good place to learn about Chinese culture." ”
"Don't hold me up so high, I'm just doing what I can. Xia Yu said modestly.
Then Xia Yu looked at Hua Shengshi again, and said with a smile: "Hua Lao, after transporting the Yongle Ceremony back later, I will have to trouble you to entertain Dean Liu." ”
Liu Shaoquan is no longer threatening, and Hua Shengshi will naturally not face each other badly.
After he answered, he looked at Liu Shaoquan, showed a kind smile, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Dean Liu, I was a little rushed to speak just now, please don't be surprised, you can look for me these days." ”
"No blame, no blame, I'm going to have to trouble you these days, let's communicate more. Liu Shaoquan shook hands with Hua Shengshi and smiled kindly.
......
Subsequently, Hua Shengshi was ready to transport the filmed "Yongle Ceremony" back, but Liu Shaoquan couldn't bear it and proposed to go together, but Xia Yu didn't allow it.
In this way, the others also shouted and went with them.
When he went out, Hua Shengshi went out alone to deal with the reporters squatting outside, while Xia Yu and Zhuang Siping went out from other exits.
That night, Xia Yu was the host and hosted a banquet for Zhuang Siping, Liu Shaoquan and others at the Marco Polo Hotel on Hong Kong Island, and Wang Ping, Li Hua, Ji Xueming and others who did not come to the auction were also picked up.
Entertain the guests that evening!
On the same night, Global TV's "News 30 Minutes" reported on the Sotheby's auction, which caused a huge sensation, and the name of the Kowloon Cultural Museum appeared for the first time, and it was already known to millions of families in Hong Kong, Macao and even Southeast Asia.
By the next morning, all the newspapers, including Jiuding Newspaper, were frantically reporting the relevant news, and the news was all about yesterday's Sotheby's auction.
"Sotheby's Spring Auction Turnover Exceeds 250 Million Million, Making History!" - the front page news of Jiuding Daily, with a series of enlarged figures, which is the total amount of the transaction.
"Kowloon Cultural Museum Throws 40 Million to Defeat Island People, Just to Defend National Treasures!" - the front page news of Fengyun Daily.
"Kowloon Across the Sky: Hong Kong Adds Another Top Museum!" - Sing Tao Daily
"The Real Strength !! of !! Kowloon Cultural Museum" - "Daily Daily"
"Single-day turnover exceeds 100 million, Sotheby's crazy day!" - Nanyang Siang Pau
......
The newspapers of the Jiuding Newspaper Department have a huge advantage, and the detailed information of the Jiuding Cultural Museum is only presented in the newspapers of the Jiuding Newspaper Department, and the people who are curious about the Jiuding Cultural Museum can only know about it by buying the newspapers of the Jiuding Newspaper Department.
The sales of Jiuding Daily, Fengyun Daily, and Tiantian Daily have all risen sharply.
Many people who have read the newspaper are looking forward to Saturday, April 3, and they want to see what the sky-high "Yongle Ceremony" worth 40 million Hong Kong dollars looks like!
Xia Yu also received calls from all kinds of bigwigs, and MacLehose called Xia Yu to congratulate him, and said that he would come to the scene to witness the opening of the Kowloon Cultural Museum that day.
A large number of simple and elegant special invitations that have been prepared long ago have also been sent out by a large number of employees according to the list.
It wasn't until it was close to twelve o'clock that the phone finally stopped ringing, and Xia Yu picked up his clothes and prepared to go home.
In the car, he finally had time to watch Ren Decheng's report to him.
Yesterday, as reported by Nanyang Siang Pao, the turnover exceeded 100 million yuan in a single day.
The exact number is 111 million!
The total turnover in the morning was 31.2 million, the first in the afternoon was 11 million, and the second in the afternoon was 9.2 million.
The last auction of ancient books in the afternoon sold 57.8 million Hong Kong dollars, which was more than the previous three days and one day.
Even excluding the 40 million auction price of the Yongle Canon, the other ancient books also sold for HK$17.8 million.
The reason why it is so high is because of the light of the "Yongle Canon", and the transaction price of many ancient books far exceeds the lowest estimate.
Of course, it is undeniable that many of the auctions are Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, and most of the bigwigs participating in the auction are people of faith, so they will not hesitate to bid at a high price.
Straight to the point.
Sotheby's Spring Sale totalled HK$42 million on the first day, HK$46 million on the second day, HK$53 million on the third day and HK$111 million on the fourth day.
The total turnover over the four days was HK$252 million.
As for commissions, they are charged separately to the buyer and seller.
Since 1975, when Christie's began charging 10 percent commission to buyers, Sotheby's has followed suit and has not adjusted it since.
For sellers, it is charged according to the transaction price.
In the past four days, the total commission collected is 42.93 million Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year increase of 523%!
In addition to various publicity and operating costs, Xiangjiang Fubi Auction House has obtained a net profit of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in this spring auction, which exceeds the net profit of last year!
For this result, Xia Yu is still very satisfied.
And he was also relieved about the future prospects of Xiangjiang Fubi Auction House.
This spring auction has completely established the reputation of Sotheby's auction house, and the reputation of Sotheby's auction house has spread throughout Southeast Asia, both ordinary people and the wealthy class.
Not to mention that Christie's auction house has not yet entered Xiangjiang, even if he comes, he has to be an honest little brother and be pressed to the ground by Sotheby's.
In the evening of the same day, Global Satellite TV specially invited Huashengshi to be a guest in the live broadcast room and spent an hour interviewing Huashengshi face-to-face, and the ratings soared.
The audience applauded Huashengshi's promise of a free one-week opening of the museum, and began to wonder about taking their families to visit the museum when the time came.
On April 2, while other newspapers were still hyping up the popularity of the Kowloon Cultural Museum and Sotheby's.
An international news item from Fengyun Daily shocked the whole of Southeast Asia and East Asia, and it was hard to find a newspaper in Fengyun Daily!
