Tang Xiang looked behind him and found that the two bronze heads in the glass case safe were placed there.

Tang Xiang hurriedly walked over, although he didn't plan to pay, but it was better to go to the museum to visit, anyway, it was originally his own thing, and he didn't look at it in vain.

I saw that although these two bronze heads have gone through hundreds of years, they are still shining.

"Mr. Tang, our policy at Sotheby's is to settle the auction within two hours, so that you can take these two precious artifacts home. The manager said respectfully.

Tang Xiang smiled: "Mr. Chief, if I'm not mistaken, normally I should have seen them in the Old Summer Palace." ”

The manager said embarrassedly: "Mr. Tang, you are joking." ”

"You have an old Chinese saying that you can't use the sword of the previous dynasty to behead the officials of the current dynasty, right?"

Tang Xiang smiled, he didn't expect this manager to be quite polite.

However, the manager's inner OS is: where is so much nonsense, hurry up and pay and get it back and leave, and I don't know how these two big copper pieces can be auctioned at such a price.

Sotheby's had no plans to auction them, as according to previous assessments, Sotheby's did not believe the two statues would be worth more than 3 million euros.

It must not be the core lot of Sotheby's, otherwise it will be too embarrassing.

It wasn't until the Old Summer Palace horse heads were auctioned in Hong Kong for as much as 70 million euros that the status of the 12 bronze heads of the Old Summer Palace in the eyes of the Chinese attracted their attention.

That's why we have today's auction.

After Tang Xiang took one last look at them, he said lightly: "I'm sorry Mr. Chief, I refused to pay." ”

The manager's expression immediately froze: "Mr. Tang, what did you say?"

He thought that he had misheard, or that Tang Xiang's English was not good so that he had made a mistake in his expression, and he wanted to refuse to pay for the lot at Sotheby's, or on Sotheby's territory in France?

Unless this man is crazy!, who would dare to do that.

Tang Xiang smiled and repeated again: "This lot is extremely sensitive, so I refuse to pay, and I also hope that Sotheby's will do its best." ”

The manager shook his head, the respectful expression just now disappeared instantly, and said in a warning tone: "Mr. Tang, don't forget, there is still a deposit of 800,000 euros in the account. ”

Tang Xiang shrugged: "Do you think I will care?"

Not to mention that the 800,000 euros have been transferred by Treasure Games, even if it is really given to Sotheby's, it is not a big deal for him.

At this time, a woman in a work suit hurriedly ran in: "Mr. Steward, there is an abnormality in our account just now. ”

The manager hurriedly asked, "What is abnormal?"

The staff pointed at Tang Xiang: "This customer's deposit was forcibly transferred out, and it only took five minutes to pass through the multi-layer network barrier and go to an unknown account in China. ”

"We didn't have time to apply to those institutions for a freeze, so the 800,000 euros have already been lost. When the staff said this, they glanced at Tang Xiang with strange eyes.

The manager really panicked at this time, stared at Tang Xiang and said, "You used a hacker!"

Tang Xiang pretended not to know anything and said, "What hackers, do you think I have the ability to hire a team of hackers to hack Sotheby's accounts and European banks?"

"You're going too far!" the director pointed at Tang Xiang.

"I'll go to the police now, let the French police control you, Mr. Tang, you just wait for Sotheby's accusations!"

Then he instructed the staff: "Go and report this matter to the head office." ”

The staff replied: "Chief, we have reported it, and the head office is filing a case with the police and asking us to control him." ”

"Good. Only then did the manager calm down, and he stared at Tang Xiang hatefully: "You Chinese guy has a big deal!"

Tang Xiang ignored him completely, and now he just waited for the embassy staff to pick him up, so he sat on the sofa in the VIP hall and drank tea unhurriedly.

About five minutes later, a voice came from Tang Xiang's right earphone: "Mr. Tang, we have arrived at Sotheby's, how is the situation on your side?"

It's fast enough.

Tang Xiang said into the earphones: "They have called the police." ”

Soon a voice came from there: "The French police should not be able to come to the scene for a while, we will pick you up in advance before they arrive, don't panic." ”

Tang Xiangke didn't feel flustered at all, and even a little excited.

After all, this kind of scene in front of him is like a political blockbuster, and he himself is the hero.

About ten minutes later, the female staff member hurriedly ran in: "Manager, the personnel of the Chinese Embassy in France are here, saying that they want to pick up this guest." ”

The manager immediately stood up from his chair: "I can't go." ”

However, Tang Xiang had already picked up his clothes and said disapprovingly, "Why can't you go? Could it be that Sotheby's wants to restrict my personal freedom?"

The manager was stunned, he was a little dizzy with anger just now, indeed, Sotheby's is not qualified to restrict anyone's freedom even if it is an auction company.

Otherwise, they are the ones who break the law.

It's a bit troublesome now, although the loss of 800,000 euros is actually nothing to Sotheby's, but they can't swallow this breath.

Just when the manager was thinking about what to do next, Tang Xiang had already walked out.

The female staff was a little anxious when she saw this scene: "Boss, just let him go?"

"Then do you have any other way?" said the manager, gritting his teeth, "Hurry up and contact the head office, and quickly report this matter to a higher authority, and apply for a ban on him from France." ”

Tang Xiang pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation behind him, but at this time they were all in French, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Anyway, I don't believe they can get me out of the embassy.

When I arrived at the entrance of the Sotheby's auction house, I saw more than a dozen black commercial vehicles parked there, and several Chinese faces in suits stood in front of them.

"Mr. Tang, let's get in the car. An embassy staff member took Tang Xiang's luggage and invited him into the car.

The staff smiled and thanked Tang Xiang: "Tang Xiangsheng, first of all, thank you for your cooperation." ”

Tang Xiang waved his hand: "It's okay, just help me save 2 million, no, more than 20 million euros." ”

After taking a breath, Tang Xiang asked, "Is there any other arrangement next?"

However, the other party politely replied: "Sorry, we are not convenient to answer diplomatic questions, but we can guarantee your personal freedom and transport you safely to China." ”

Tang Xiang scratched his head: I'm afraid it won't be so simple.

After all, he didn't just do the one thing of letting the lot go unauctioned, but also silenced the bidders in the store, transferred the deposit of 800,000 euros, and ......

The hammer price of Sotheby's UK auction will be announced on the official website in advance.

The embassy should not know about these things.

Huh? I think I'm playing a bit big.
