Chapter 355: The Troubles of the Rich (200 Recommended Votes Plus Update)
Yuris sat at home, looking at the flickering fire in the hearth, looking a little lonely. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since he failed to win the batch of mahogany at the auction, he has not been in good spirits, and his personal doctor has come to see him several times, and his body is fine, probably because of mental problems, so he is advised to see a psychiatrist.
Yuris angrily knocked him away with a cane, will he have psychological problems?
He obviously couldn't admit it, but he couldn't deny his failure.
Glancing up at the loot on the wall, he sighed slightly.
Although this painting is expensive, it is one of the few works of art that Van Gogh targets women, but the fact that it hangs on the wall does not highlight its value at all, and it cost itself more than 90 million euros, which is several times the price of a few years ago, so many people say that he is wronged and made a mediocre decision at this auction.
Did you make the wrong decision?
Yuris didn't know, but no one blamed the Arab businessman, because everyone had the impression that the Arab businessman was supposed to be like this, nouveau riche, rich, rich!
Therefore, everyone will not have any surprise when they see Arab businessmen taking money like this, but they will envy their financial resources and their good conditions, after all, not everyone can sit on oil and make a fortune!
And because he was bidding with Arab merchants, he was considered old and stupid by everyone, and he played a bad move!
It made him feel very depressed!
Not enough a few days ago, he saw a piece of news that made him even more depressed!
The Arab merchant who bought the mahogany actually announced that he would use the 100 million euro worth of mahogany to make furniture for their eight-star hotel!
This news made Yurith Ray not light, he could only sigh that the other party was rich and capricious!
It is said that this eight-star Palace Hotel has spent more than 3 billion US dollars on construction and decoration alone!
More than 3 billion US dollars can buy several countries in the Pacific Ocean, such as Tuvalu, the country's population is only more than 10,000 people, the GDP is only 30 million US dollars, and it is estimated that they can buy their country with 1 billion US dollars, but these Arabs actually spent 3 billion to build a hotel.
This is really the world of local tyrants, even he, a local tyrant, doesn't understand it!
"Sir, your secretary is here!"
When the butler came in, he told him the news.
Yuris turned his head to look outside, although the snow has stopped, but the snow outside should still be very deep, the secretary came over at this time, it is rare enough, he thought for a while, and said to the housekeeper: "Let him in, by the way, add a little carbon fire, the temperature inside this room is not too high, old man, I'm a little cold!"
The butler nodded, and immediately went out and instructed the servant to do it.
But there was some sadness in his heart, the old man was old, he was in good spirits in the past winter, and he had never sat in his chair like this all day and night and couldn't get up.
"Boss, we have contacted the people from Kering, and they have revealed some useful information to us, I think you will be interested!"
The secretary is obviously frozen, there is no blood on his face, his lips are cyanosis, and he looks a little shivering, he is wearing a suit, and he is dressed very neatly and formally, but this kind of dress should not be very cold-proof!
The lad froze, Yuris thought to himself.
"Sit down, bake the fire, go to the cold, go get him a dry towel, and wipe the snow off his body!"
Yuris said to the servant, who answered, turned and went to get the towel.
"Thank you!"
The secretary took the towel and wiped the water off his body, under the baking of the stove, he felt that the temperature on his body began to slowly recover, and his body seemed to be coagulated blood, and it slowly began to squirm at this time.
"What did Henry say?"
Julius glanced at his oil painting with some concern, the dampness in the room was relatively heavy, although the oil painting had been framed and had been fully waterproofed, but he still felt a little unsafe in his heart, maybe he could put this thing in the Louvre!
The Louvre is the largest museum in France, with many precious artifacts inside, and has become the most famous museum in the world since its construction during the Renaissance.
Most of the artifacts on display in the museum are owned by the state and are basically free to view, with a nominal fee of 1 euro for admission.
There are many cultural relics in the Louvre, and there are a lot of staff, they are all professional, and there are various types of maintenance and inspection personnel to protect the integrity of the cultural relics in it.
Not all of these cultural relics are owned by the state, and many of them are privately stored, and the museum is like a bank, collecting these paintings and then exhibiting them to everyone, and these collectors can pay a regular maintenance and maintenance fee.
If Van Gogh's "She" were to be placed in the Louvre, it would be next to the Mona Lisa, right?
Yuris thought.
The Mona Lisa was made by Leonardo da Vinci 500 years ago, and this oil painting is by far the most remarkable and famous of all time, and it is stored in a hall in the middle of the second floor of the Louvre, embedded in the wall, and has a very special protection to ensure that it is not stolen!
If you can put it together with the Mona Lisa, your oil painting will also appreciate in the future, right?
A smile appeared on Yuris's face.
"Sir, we have not contacted Mr. Henry, he is not currently in France, but has gone to China in the East!"
The secretary's words interrupted Yuris's thoughts, he looked at his secretary and asked puzzledly, "He went to China?"
The secretary nodded: "He has probably been away for more than a week, and he has already set off before the blizzard comes, and it is said that he went to negotiate with that side for Kering's business in China!"
Ulris nodded, Napoleon once said, China is like a lion, once it wakes up, the world will tremble, and now China has begun to rise, their market potential is very huge, many multinational companies have begun to pay attention to the development of the Chinese market, everyone wants to get a piece of the market in China's rapidly developing market.
In a huge market of 1.3 billion people, less than 30% of the market is currently underdeveloped, and it is not surprising that the CEO of Kering would visit it in person.
"Well, I see, who did you contact?"
Yuris sent his secretary to contact Kering because he wanted to find out who was the guy who had sent the rosewood to the auction house in the first place, and he wanted to find that person.
