★★ Hand hit ★шшш.. ★

More than 100 Chinese collectors from all over the world were invited to the special auction of Chinese art held by this auction house in Paris, and the total number of people participating in this auction was less than 2oo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It can be said that if all the Chinese in the venue leave, then the auction will end without a hitch.

No matter how much the Chinese like infighting and how disunited they usually are, after Zhuang Rui's words, they all stood up, followed behind Zhuang Rui, and protested against the auction committee with wordless actions.

Even if there are some people who don't want to leave, in the face of the general trend, they can only follow, from the auction table to the door is only a few dozen meters, walking behind Zhuang Rui, who is at the front, there are already more than 100 people.

The flash lights in the venue kept flashing, and the Chinese official protest was protested by the Chinese authorities, and the matter was also noticed by many media outlets, and many media units sent reporters to pay attention to the auction.

There were not only the media in Paris, but also the news media from China, and after the end of the first auction item, they made such a big gimmick, which undoubtedly made these people engaged in journalism as if they were beaten with chicken blood.

"Hey, dude, Jean, you've taken my place......" a man holding a camera pushed the man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, but I came before you......"

The man in front of him refused to back down at all, this is big news, Ming'er will definitely be able to make the headlines of major newspapers, and the photos he takes in a good position will definitely sell at a good price, uh, this is a freelance reporter,

"I'm sorry, please let ......"

At this time, Zhuang Rui, who was walking at the front of the crowd, was blocked by a group of reporters, and countless flashing lights flashed in front of him, which made Zhuang Rui feel a little irritable, and his buddy was angry, why did he attract so much attention?

"Sir, I'm a reporter for the London Thai Fifty newspaper, may I give you an interview?"

"Hey, buddy, that's a good point, leave a contact number, I'll get back to you for an interview......"

"Hello sir, I'm a reporter from Midea, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the French evening newspaper, can I ask you a few questions about what you just said?"

For a while, countless microphone recorders came to Zhuang Rui's mouth, and some reporters who were far away even climbed onto the backs of their counterparts in front, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Damn, you have to have a good body as a reporter......"

Zhuang Rui looked at these people in front of him speechlessly, he was a little overwhelmed, originally he just wanted to be happy, but he didn't expect to provoke such a big turmoil, looking at this momentum, I'm afraid I can't wait for Ming'er, the whole world will know what happened today.

"Damn, my God, if these things are reported by reporters, it will be a big scandal...

…”

Richard, who had just been stunned by Zhuang Rui's reaction, suddenly reacted, but he didn't have the slightest solution, and the situation was out of his control.

"Fire George right away, I don't know what this pig said to that man?!"

Poor lawyer George, he just did what his boss told him to do, but at this point, he was the only one who was unlucky.

"It's over, this auction is completely finished......"

Richard, the owner of the auction house, sat back on the sand with a gray face, Richard did not expect that the Chinese, who had not been very united, would be instigated by a few words from this young man, which was simply better than the words of Jefferson, the auctioneer.

Organizing an auction requires a lot of work in the early stage, and the printing and promotion of the lots will cost a lot of money, and Richard has high expectations for this auction, and has already spent hundreds of thousands of euros in the early stage, and now it seems that it is likely to be lost.

In addition, for those who provide the lots, he has to compensate for the losses, because some of the lots he has signed an agreement that if he can't be auctioned at a certain lowest price, he will have to eat them himself, so Richard's losses will be even greater.

"Richard, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, let's think about it first, how to appease these Chinese, right?"

Sitting next to Richard was Daniel Handy, a partner at the auction house, who was so anxious that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but he finally made a constructive suggestion.

"Yes, yes, Daniel, hurry up and inform the bodyguards, ask these Chinese to go to the conference room, and control the situation...

…”

Richard jumped up like a dream when he heard Daniel's words, and what was happening seemed like a nightmare to him, for he had worked in an auction house for decades, and it was the first time he had seen a large number of buyers leave.

After giving instructions over the walkie-talkie, Richard and Daniel hurried downstairs as well, and now counted on Jefferson to control the scene, which was almost impossible, for poor Jefferson, who had already shouted out his voice on the stage, had no one to pay attention to him.

Just when the owner of the auction house was trying to calm down the incident, the auction hall was very lively, at least 1o

A number of reporters from all over the world surrounded Zhuang Rui, and the questions raised in different languages made Zhuang Rui's head almost blow up.

"Say less, it's better not to say a word at all......"

Huang Fuyun, who was standing beside Zhuang Rui, was a lawyer, and he knew that no matter what Zhuang Rui said, he would be distorted by these reporters, so he hurriedly reminded Zhuang Rui in his ear.

"I'm sorry, I don't have ...... comment"

After Zhuang Rui heard Huang Fuyun's words, he suddenly remembered a line he often saw in movies, and said it casually, but those reporters were not so easy to fool, and they still held the microphone and chattered questions.

"Mr. Zhuang, I heard that you are a director of the National Jade Association in China, so does your behavior today represent the opinion of the Chinese government?"

The reporter from the Evening de France who asked the question just now asked a malicious question.

"Oh, I don't think you understand the composition of the Jade Guild, it's just a private organization, and besides, my actions are only on behalf of individuals......"

After Zhuang Rui heard the man's words, he couldn't help but reply, and Huangfu Yun behind him was in a cold sweat, but fortunately, Zhuang Rui didn't fall into that person's trap.

"Then why are you followed by so many people?" the reporter asked unrelentingly when he saw Zhuang Rui speak.

"You have to ask them this question, I want to speak for me personally, I'm sorry, please let me, you are in my way......"

Because at this time, the bodyguards in the venue, who were already dumbfounded just now, finally received instructions from the bosses and stopped those reporters, trying to save some of the impact as much as possible.

The bosses of the auction house knew that once this matter was publicized, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the credibility of their auction house.

Whatever the reason, if the buyers of the entire country or region leave the auction house en masse, the fault must be on the part of the auction house.

And this is also the case, Jefferson told the organizing committee to send a lawyer to warn Zhuang Rui, which is indeed an extremely stupid thing.

Obviously, the auctioneer did not pay enough attention to Zhuang Rui at the beginning, and when they thought about it, they would send a lawyer to warn the young man, and they would definitely get a satisfactory answer, but the development of the matter was completely contrary to the result they imagined.

At best, this incident hurt the feelings of Chinese buyers, and at worst, France's refusal to recognize history hurt the feelings of the Chinese and French people, and the owner of the auction house, Richard, could not afford to bear this responsibility.

"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang, please stay, I sincerely apologize to you for some people's inappropriate words, and I hope we can communicate, this should be a misunderstanding......"

Richard, who had just come down from the private room on the second floor, stood in front of Zhuang Rui sweating profusely, making an extremely sincere expression, never bending his waist, and even having a pleading look on his face when he bent down to Zhuang Rui at this time.

"Mr. Zhuang, I believe that what happened just now is just the private behavior of some people, and it does not represent the auction house, I think, we can sit down and talk, and we will definitely make compensation and apologize for the harm you have caused...

…”

Daniel's attitude was equally deferential, much to the surprise of many of the auction house employees present, and the two bigwigs appeared at the same time to plead with a young man, something they had never seen before.

And the lawyer George, who is 1o meters away from Zhuang Rui and others, has an incredible expression, what he says is authorized by them, why has it become his own private behavior now?

"Daniel, you are responsible for your words, I am a lawyer hired by your bank, all my remarks are authorized by you, let me go, I will sue you ......"

"Security, take him out, he can't represent our auction house......"

Daniel didn't wait for George to finish speaking, and immediately one of the bodyguards next to him pulled him out, and George's voice still echoed in everyone's ears.

"Who are you two?"

Zhuang Rui looked at the two middle-aged people in front of him with some doubts, the scene just now was just a dog-eat-dog farce in Zhuang Rui's eyes.

"I am Richard, the chairman of this auction house, this is Daniel, I think, only our words can represent the will of the auction house, Mr. Zhuang, friends, please go to the conference room first, we can give you a satisfactory answer......"

Richard took the microphone that the employee had just handed over and shouted loudly into the crowd in front of him.
