And in today's auction, as long as Zhang Qingcang's paintings are bought at an obviously unreasonable market price, whether it is to win over or to exemplify the "transfer of interests" in the future, it is a very good move.

How could Zhang Ruiming not understand this, it was because of this that he insisted on accompanying his father over this trip today, and now it is the first real confrontation between the two.

said that it was a confrontation, in fact, Zhang Ruiming and Zhang Ruiming were also a little uncertain, looking at Fang Xiaoruan's attitude today, although he looked arrogant, but the more he was so strong and strong, the more likely it was to show weakness, otherwise he didn't need to go around and invite his father over to make this trip, but no matter how it evolved, the best choice now is to wait and see.

After a few words of greeting, Fang Xiaoruan left the scene silently with everyone, and Manager Park was also busy decorating the venue as the auction was officially approaching.

Today's event is not ordinary, Zhang Ruiming casually took a look at the exhibits, including Li Dafan's Momeitu axis, Liu Yong's thirteen lines of authentic works, these are all with the State Administration of Cultural Relics to identify the authentic works, are all national cultural relics, this time are borrowed by the organizer to the National Museum to accompany the exhibition, it can be said that the stars are shining, more than a dozen exhibitors of the auction house are around the taste of the performance, it is a scene of the scene.

Even his father surrounded the authentic works of Liu Yong, studying them carefully, and the corners of his mouth were almost closed, but Zhang Ruiming's mind couldn't stop at these artworks, and the audience was more of a layman like him who had their own goals and had no intention of appreciating, and these people's eyes were also turned to the other side.

Although these cultural relics are priceless, they are priceless treasures after all - they cannot be priced or traded, and in today's scene, the most eye-catching thing is not these unattainable first-class cultural relics, more people are still attracted by those non-first-class cultural relics that can be marked and sold, especially those who have been sold at sky-high cultural relics are obsessed, I don't know whether it is the price of the obsessed person, or the wealth legend behind it.

Among them, the most eye-catching is that the highest auction price in China is a painting of Qi Baishi's "Landscape Twelve Screens".

In the 16th autumn auction of Carlsberg in Tianjin and Hong Kong, this painting started at 450 million yuan, and finally fell under the hammer for 810 million yuan, and was sold for 931.5 million yuan with commission. This is the highest price that has been exposed in domestic auctions, and the identity of the buyer is also quite interesting, which is the biggest opponent Zhang Ruiming faces here - the giant crocodile in the Chinese film and television industry, Zhongyou Brothers Film and Television Company.

Standing in front of the bulletproof glass, looking at the twelve treasures of the world in the middle of the exhibition hall, Zhang Ruiming's emotions are very complicated, the real works under the spotlight are dazzling, he knows that ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to appreciate these masterpieces face-to-face, but at the moment when he thinks of the price of 931.5 million, he is not interested in appreciating the paintings at all.

931.5 million, what kind of concept is this? Zhang Ruiming can't think of any adjectives to use to describe this number, he paid for himself over the years after his father's career, the Zhang family can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of the little rich, although he is not a keen consumer, but he has seen a lot of in the world, not to mention that he has also handled several major cases worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but in Zhang Ruiming's impression, he can casually spend nearly a billion to buy a painting of the rich, what is the level!?

You must know that Wang Yingying, who Zhang Ruiming admired the most and belonged to the top level of wealth in his social circle, was only because he had to take a risk and enter the number because he needed such a fund to upgrade the company's production and sewage circulation system. In Zhang Ruiming's cognition, Wang Yingying is already the richest group of people in the world, who can found Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical, fight for this huge family business, and move casually, Jingang will tremble.

As a result, the family business and the dedication of a lifetime are just the money people spend to buy a painting?

But Zhang Ruiming thought that even Wang Yingying's life could not match this painting, how much money did he have to earn in his life to buy one of the twelve banners?

Ten lifetimes, a hundred generations?

Zhang Ruiming thought about it for a while, but he didn't dare to think about it, he shook his head bitterly and self-deprecatingly, retracted his gaze and the depression in his heart, and asked the waiter on the side for a cup of Yajia Spring, and when he was about to walk away silently, he was stopped by a figure.

"Yo, long time no see, Zhang Jian. ”

This magnetic voice made Zhang Ruiming's spirit stunned, he didn't expect to meet the owner of this voice here, and the memory of this sound is like the rolling sand at the bottom of the sea, for a while, all kinds of emotions surged, there is the happiness of meeting a confidant in another country, there is also the vigilance of meeting an old enemy, and more of a sting after being hurt.

Zhang Ruiming's heart was like a sea, and he didn't know how to face the owner of this voice for a while, and after the last confrontation, even if he had such a long past experience, Zhang Ruiming still didn't know what identity to call this person.

“…… I'm here to see the exhibition today?"

The owner of this voice is as chic as ever.

“…… Well, no, one of my dad's works is also going to be auctioned today, and I'll come over to accompany him...... Director Wu. Zhang Ruiming faced the visitor in such an awkward way, and used a title that he could not imagine to call him, the former master, teacher, director of the law firm, opponent, and mortal enemy - Wu Kaiming.

Wu Kaiming smiled elegantly, stretched out his right hand, and two years after the confrontation in the "drug runway" case, he finally met Zhang Ruiming again.

The two shook hands amicably.

Wu ...... Director, are you here to see the exhibition today?" After a short silence, Zhang Ruiming took the lead in finding a topic.

Wu Kaiming didn't answer him directly and simply, the elderly lawyer who was dressed in a custom-made dress and had a gentlemanly demeanor looked around, and said with a trace of tiredness that could not be concealed: "If it is to others, I will definitely answer you casually, I came to see the exhibition, but for you, after all, I have been friends for so many years, I will tell you the truth......"

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "I'm here today for some business, to deliver something to a certain boss and change hands, so you should understand." ”

Sure enough, this old fox doesn't have time to waste on these trivial matters, but Zhang Ruiming hasn't been a lawyer for too long, and he hasn't been in contact with these dark sides for too long.

"I don't quite understand, and I don't want to understand, what Mr. Wu does must have your deep meaning, and I still don't judge myself. ”

Zhang Ruiming's tone was still mixed with the resentment of Wu Kaiming's black hand in the last court confrontation, he couldn't easily forgive such a ruthless person who had almost ruined his entire career as a prosecutor, and after a casual greeting at this time, he was ready to turn around and leave.

Wu Kaiming pretended to smile mysteriously at this time, and did not keep Zhang Ruiming, but said quietly: "Oh~ It seems that Zhang Jian is not interested in why this "Twelve Banners of Landscape" can be sold for nearly one billion yuan......?

When Zhang Ruiming heard this, his temples moved violently, what he cared about most was the motive of Wu Kaiming's words just now, listening to his tone, he obviously wanted to confide in himself behind today's auction, and the most strange thing for Zhang Ruiming was: How did he know that he wanted to expose the series of shady scenes in the film and television industry of Zhongyou Brothers recently?

"Teacher Wu, what does this mean? Is there anything you want to teach me? Or is there any purpose that Teacher Wu wants to achieve through me?" Zhang Ruiming couldn't believe the man who had been called Master for more than ten years after the last time, and just looked him up and down with vigilant eyes at this time.

"I don't dare to teach this word, Zhang Jian is no longer the Zhang Ruiming he used to be, he is the elite of the inspection institute who has run Nanjiang Group and Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical, I have nothing to teach you, but it is okay to communicate and communicate...... Also, Zhang Jian, you don't have to doubt my position, in this case, I am on your side, after all, Mr. Wang, who has recently been in the forefront of national public opinion, after coming to Tianjin and Hong Kong, the first person he looked for was me, and I am also half of his friend. As a friend of a friend, today I just want to communicate with you about the pickled routines behind these. ”

"Oh, friend, friend?" Zhang Ruiming was amused by Wu Kaiming's inexplicable statement, although the last fight was not a happy response, but the legal profession is like this, if you don't see you tomorrow, you will see a few people in the circle, plus the previous friendship, Wu Kaiming doesn't need to set up any bureau today, thinking of this, his vigilance was greatly reduced, and he stepped forward to listen to Wu Kaiming's detailed introduction to the ins and outs of this 931.5 million sky-high painting.

"Tut-tut, this Zhongyou brother is wealthy, this Qi Baishi's painting, generally in China, they and some people in the red circle play, at every turn is tens of millions of shots, even these people, not always willing to shoot, generally have time, there are nodes of the whole like this, very complicated, but every time they do this, it is basically faster than printing money and money......"

Zhang Ruiming listened to a few words and knew that this old fox was going to start buying medicine again, he was not as easy to fool as he used to be now, and he was not a newcomer to the law who Wu Kaiming would be led away if he casually poured a few mouthfuls of ecstasy soup.

"Don't say it in a fog, Mr. Wu, you didn't lecture like this before, can you get to the point?"

Wu Kaiming smiled, he took a cocktail from the waiter's hand, put his arm on Zhang Ruiming's shoulder, and held a wine glass on the other, and the two walked to the secluded place of the exhibition hall like an elder taking a walk with a younger generation to talk about his life experience.

"This story is very long, but the ups and downs in it are not something that ordinary people can see, let me tell you so simply, in 16 years, the then Zhongyou Brothers Film and Television Group, just carried out a round of large-scale acquisitions, at that time, the boss of Zhongyou Brothers, Zhou Jun and Zhou Lei, spent 1.05 billion yuan to buy a leather bag company registered in August 16, and the registered capital is only 16,000 yuan, the name of this company is: Sini Elephant ......"

When he heard this, Zhang Ruiming was also shocked by the huge price difference, but he quickly calmed down, in the eyes of ordinary people, why a small company with a registered capital of only 16,000 would be worth letting the film and television predators use 10 billion to acquire, this is completely unreasonable. But after all, Zhang Ruiming has been studying the key to this during this time, and his more than ten years of experience in public prosecution have made his focus on the name of this company.

Signi baby elephant ...... This is Fang Xiaoruan's company.

"This is a leather bag company, I remember that the registered legal person is Fang Xiaoruan, including the producer of "Yongle Dynasty" this time, there is a figure of this company, which is obviously a tool registered by Fang Xiaoruan in Orgos for account transfer. ”

"Oh, then, does Zhang Jian understand why the Zhongyou brothers want to spend money to buy this shell company?"

Hearing Wu Kaiming's tone of teasing, Zhang Ruiming said frankly: "I don't understand this, but I guess there is nothing good in it." ”

Wu Kaiming didn't want to sell him Guanzi, but continued: "This Zhongyou brothers is not a charity, in August, when Fang Xiaoruan's leather bag company was not established, they set up 151 million shares of the company's shares to four companies: Ali Venture Capital, P An Asset Management, T Xun Computer, and Z Information Construction Investment, raising a total of about 4 billion yuan. The Zhongyou brothers took nearly a quarter of the funds raised from this fundraising, all of which were invested in Fang Xiaoruan, and the acquisition took place in November, when they bought only 70% of the equity of such a small leather bag company of 10,000 yuan, Fang Xiaoruan, a small broken company that could not open a milk tea shop, was registered in August and acquired in November, and its assets increased by 100,000 times overnight! Tell me, even if it is a billion dollars, can it be so fast!?"

"Then what do you mean? Are Zhongyou brothers stupid X? Or are these four companies A Li Venture Capital, P An Asset Management, T Xun Computer, and Z Information Construction Investment stupid X? Why do they buy such a leather bag company?"

"Let me tell you, whether it's these four investment companies or Zhongyou Brothers, including Fang Xiaoruan, they are not stupid X, they are very good. Why were the four super capitals able to give this money to the Zhongyou Brothers? Why did the Zhongyou Brothers give 1 billion yuan to Fang Xiaoruan, an internationally renowned director? Because Fang Xiaoruan promised that the audited net profit of the Signi baby elephant in 2016 would reach 100 million yuan! And it will rise by 20% every year in the future. Relying on Fang Xiaoruan's fame and resources over the years, as well as his pig friends like Che Yun, he can be regarded as a front-row figure in the Beijing circle, and he does have the ability to make movies, and finally add a little Feng Binbin's studio's ability to speculate, sell feelings, and fry old IP, and he can always make a box office blockbuster, so, don't you think he started to tinker with "Can't Get Through 2"? As long as the box office is a big hit, he can not only earn money from fans, but also drive the stock price of Zhongyou Brothers to rise.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming was speechless: "The net profit is 100 million a year!?It will rise by 20% every year?!This is too difficult to do, I don't believe that he can really complete this VAM agreement, the current market is not the same market as before, and everyone's viewing requirements are also constantly improving, besides, Hollywood blockbusters are coming in, under the layers of accounting, who can guarantee a net profit of more than 100 million a year!?"

Wu Kaiming wants this effect, after Zhang Ruiming's surprise, he slowly spit out the details of the gambling agreement, "According to the gambling agreement, the net profit after tax of Sini Xiaoxiang in 5 years will reach 724 million yuan, which seems unattainable, right? But think about it, he has already received 1 billion yuan!" Under extreme circumstances, even if Fang Xiaoruan doesn't do anything or make any movies, just eats and drinks every day and plays around for a few years, he can still take out 674 million yuan from the 1.035 billion yuan he has obtained and enter it into the account in the name of investment! To make up the difference between the performance targets, how much is 10, 3.5 billion minus 724 million?...... Even after five years, Guan used money to invest money, and Fang Xiaoruan could still make him a net profit of 361 million yuan! You said that no matter how high the box office of making a movie is, no matter how high the salary of Feng Binbin and those people is, even if it is printing money, it is difficult for you to have such a "capital operation" to make money quickly!

Zhang Ruiming listened to it, although he was a little shocked, but he still felt that it was not right, with his experience and legal knowledge, he questioned: "Isn't this a game of 'left hand to right hand'!

The previous inside story had surprised Zhang Ruiming unimaginable, and Wu Kaiming's answer shocked Zhang Ruiming even more.

"You have to remember that we're talking about film and television studios...... This is not only legal, but this is still a normal phenomenon in the film and television industry, you can see that all the blockbusters with box office hits have this routine:

For example, the blockbuster film "G" a few years ago. At that time, 11 Holding Company purchased 47.5% of the box office revenue rights of Z Le, one of the producers of "G Embarrassment", at a price of 150 million, and Z Le is a company owned by Xu Shanzhen, the director of the film, and Xu Shanzhen is a shareholder of 11 Holdings.

Let's talk about "The Mermaid", which set a box office record and hit the sky, a film directed by the No. 1 Chinese comedy star. They have also adopted this play in the release. The guarantor of "The Mermaid" and He Pictures also attracted the participation of relevant parties such as Guangguang, A Li Pictures, X Culture, and A Fei Animation through fund subscription, and also successfully pushed up the valuation of the executive distributor - Gao Film and Television. And the first comedy, in addition to the box office income, the Hong Kong-listed company he controls and is also one of the distributors, the share price of Bigao Group has also risen with the increase in the box office. ”
