Chapter 1421: The Great Earthquake at the Auction House
In Switzerland, in a low-key but luxurious palace building, an SSS-level high-profile auction is being held.
There were very few people on site, no more than 30 people, including the staff, but Sotheby's took such an auction very seriously.
The reason for this is that the bidders present are all celebrities and wealthy people from all over the world, each of whom is a real big man and has extremely strong funds, otherwise he would not have appeared here.
You know, the ticket to today's auction is a deposit of 10 million US dollars.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Collisson, could easily be the auctioneers for today's auction, and I am here to promise you that today's competition is guaranteed to be satisfactory to everyone, and even exciting. Collisson, a personable middle-aged man, walked up to the stage and bowed to everyone present, smiling confidently.
Today's competition, he has already seen and carefully studied the relevant information, even if he has presided over hundreds of large-scale auctions, he can't help but be excited, looking forward to it.
Collison had a strong instinct that today's auction would likely set a record for a sky-high price, and his name would be remembered by countless people.
For auctioneers, this is the Medal of Honor and the proudest thing to do.
Glancing at the chairman of Sotheby's auction house sitting in the audience, after getting his instructions, Corrison cleared his throat and planned to start today's heavyweight auction with the fullest attitude, but just when he raised his hand and was about to solemnly introduce the first auction item, he was shocked to see the VIP guests on the scene standing up one after another, as if they had received some phone calls, and they didn't say hello and left the table directly.
Collison was dumbfounded, Rao had always been shrewd, and he didn't know what to do.
In fact, not only Collisson, but even the chairman of Sotheby's Auction House, who was sitting in the audience, was dumbfounded.
Similar scenes have been staged all over the world.
In less than a day, the world's top 10 auction houses have all been hit hard, and the heavyweight auctions organized by them have died and ended in failure.
Either no one bids, or they just leave the table halfway, and such a situation is extremely rare, let alone a concentrated outbreak.
There were heated discussions and speculations from the outside world, and the chairman of the world's top ten auction houses was already anxious at this time, completely ignoring the voices of the outside world, but immediately launched emergency measures and wanted to do his best to stop the loss.
The key is to get to the root of the problem and fix it.
Otherwise, if this bad situation continues to spread, it will undoubtedly be a very serious blow to their reputation, and for auction houses, reputation is far more important than money, and once they lose the trust of their customers, they will not be far from closing their doors.
After some urgent research and all-out search for information, the chairman of the world's top ten auction houses finally knew that the root cause of the incident was related to Bill Gates and other Forbes super-rich.
Under the greeting of Bill Gates and other Forbes super-rich, the VIP heavyweights they worked so hard to invite turned them away.
In other words, they have been hit by a group of super-rich people such as Bill Gates.
"Hell Gates, why did Bill Gates and others deliberately target us?!"
"If it were someone else, it would be fine, after all, we have been in business for so many years and have accumulated a strong heritage, which is not so easy to shake, but the influence of Bill Gates and others is too great, which is by no means good news for us. ”
"What's more, this is simply a disaster, you must know that the top elite circle is so big, and most of them want to ** Ergates and others to save face, no one wants to offend them easily, at least for an auction is far from worth it. ”
"Could it be that they know the truth of the matter? Otherwise, why would they suddenly attack us en masse and deliberately target us?"
"It shouldn't be, the blood-eyed pirates are all kept in the dark, how did Bill Gates and the others find out?!"
The chairman of the world's top ten auction houses held a video conference again, and they were all anxious and uncertain.
They don't think that Bill Gates and others know the truth, but all indications show that Bill Gates and others probably already know the truth, otherwise, it would not be possible to target them so deliberately.
It's tricky.
Even though they are accustomed to the wind and waves, they feel at a loss and don't know how to deal with it.
"Why don't you try to call Bill Gates and find out?" someone suggested this, and it was approved by others, but now it is just their speculation, and a personal phone call can make them better judge.
It's just that the call didn't get through, to be precise, it should have been hung up immediately after getting through.
Bill Gates on the other end didn't bother to answer the phone at all, and that in itself represented an attitude.
"And the face to call, you have to make those damn guys pay a terrible price!" Bezos next to him said with a gloomy face.
And other super-rich people also agree with Bill Gates's move to hang up the phone directly.
After learning from Jiang Feng about the behind-the-scenes employer of the Blood-Eyed Pirates, Bill Gates and the others were very angry and afraid.
If Jiang Feng's men weren't strong enough, if the Ten Thousand Flames were really hijacked, they would undoubtedly be in a great danger.
You must know that it is the famous Blood-Eyed Pirate Group, even if they can get away with it, it is estimated that they will be extorted by the Blood-Eye, and pay a great price.
It is precisely because of this that Bill Gates and other super-rich people are angry, and they don't need Jiang Feng to say anything, they immediately take practical actions one by one, and make up their minds to make the masterminds behind the scenes pay a heavy price for this.
While they can't shut down the world's top 10 auction houses, they can still deal a blow to them when they do make a difference.
Not to mention anything else, most of the world's top elites are inextricably linked to them, and as long as they open their mouths, most of them will sell them face.
And they have unanimously decided not to participate in any of the auctions held by the world's top ten auction houses in the future.
That's their attitude, and that's their manifesto.
Bill Gates and others believe that under their influence, the world's rich and powerful will gradually alienate the world's top ten auction houses, and they don't mind revealing the truth when necessary.
Although the world's top ten auction houses will definitely not admit it and deny it in various ways, but through their mouths, there is no need for any evidence, and their words are credible!
