In the midst of the hot bidding, Mark and Clarkson were pale and blank. When the auctioneer shows the crowd the little trap in the Easter egg, the two know that something is wrong. After this little episode, it is self-evident which of the two easter eggs is true and which is false.

Next, Fasco will not only face high claims from buyers, but more importantly, it will definitely be discredited after this incident, and no one will trust them anymore. And in the art market, reputation is everything. A discredited art company will never be able to survive.

So for Mark and Clarkson at this time, the blow of this auction was absolutely fatal. For a while, the two of them didn't know what to do, and they turned a deaf ear to the fierce bidding around them.

After a while, the auction hall suddenly erupted in a round of applause, which finally woke Mark and Clarkson out of their trance.

The two of them immediately found that the auctioneer was announcing loudly with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to that gentleman for winning the bid, $31 million, this egg is yours!"

No one was surprised at this price at all, after all, the fakes auctioned by Fasco a while ago were sold for more than 20 million. And this easter egg, which is obviously genuine, also contains such an ingenious mechanism, this price is really not very expensive.

It was a good deal for both the Munle Auction Company and the bidder, so there were satisfied smiles on both sides.

But for Mark and Clarkson, the auction was an absolute fatal blow. The two were no longer in the mood to stay here, and left early amid warm applause. They had to rush back as soon as possible. Discuss how to deal with the buyer's claim. and how to revive the company's reputation. Find a way to keep the company going.

In the office on the second floor of the Monle Auction Company, Jiang Ping and Nicholas were watching the situation in the auction hall through the closed-circuit television system.

This Easter egg can be sold for more than 30 million US dollars, which is not too surprising to Jiang Ping. After all, the fake he made before was sold for more than 20 million, and the real thing is certainly worth the price.

Jiang Ping was more concerned about Mark's reaction, and when he saw the pale-faced Mark leave the field early, he couldn't help but smile and said to Nicholas: "Look at the way this guy looks now." I can believe that he wanted to kill me and snatch my Easter egg not long ago!"

Now Nicholas was in a very good mood, and when he heard this, he laughed and said: "This is deserved, who told this guy to always go against us? After this incident, I'm afraid that Fasco will be removed from the art world!"

Jiang Ping didn't have the slightest sympathy for Mark because of this, but just patted Nicholas on the shoulder and said, "I don't care about this matter, transfer the auction proceeds of the easter eggs to my designated account as soon as possible." That's my girlfriend's money, don't delay it too long!"

When it came to this topic, Nicholas was a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help frowning and said: "This matter has always bothered me, I am more handsome than you." is also richer than you, why can you have so many beautiful girlfriends. They're all dead set on you, and I can't?"

"Because I'm more pleasing to women than you are. Jiang Ping gave a very indebted reason, and then left the office with a smile before Nicholas went crazy.

After coming outside, Jiang Ping dialed Ye Mei's phone.

The phone rang twice, and soon Ye Mei's lazy and slightly low voice came: "Hey, you finally remembered me?"

"Look at what you said, when have I ever forgotten you. Jiang Ping said with a smile: "It's not because you've been busy lately, and I don't want to disturb you too much, so I didn't call much!"

Jiang Ping's words are not an excuse, the Blue Moon Bar is still under renovation, and Ye Mei has been very busy recently. After getting the wealth left by her father, Ye Mei no longer has any financial pressure. So she also wanted to take this opportunity to renovate the bar, and it would take longer.

Although Ye Mei also knew that Jiang Ping was telling the truth, she still deliberately sighed lightly and said: "Men, it's all like this, they like to say some rhetoric to deceive women, but they don't have any practical action. ”

Jiang Ping also heard that Ye Mei was just coquettish, and laughed and said, "You have wronged me, I have been busy with your business recently!"

Ye Mei couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"Do you remember the Easter egg your father left behind?" Jiang Ping said lightly: "I found an auction house in Europe and helped you sell it." ”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ping was really busy with his own affairs, and Ye Mei was also a little moved. However, she didn't show it, just pretended to be casual and said, "It's really hard for you." ”

"It's okay, but I just did some threading work. Jiang Ping took his credit lightly, and then said to Ye Mei with a smile: "You don't care about how much you sell, aren't you afraid that I will swallow your money?"

"Hehe, if I hadn't even believed you, I wouldn't have given you that easter egg in the first place. Ye Mei laughed softly on the phone: "If you really dare to swallow my money, I will ...... when you come back." Swallow you!"

Even so, Ye Mei seemed to feel that it was not enough, and quickly added: "Even if you don't swallow my money, I will swallow you!"

Hearing the meaning of Ye Mei's words, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, he wanted to talk to Ye Mei about business, so he quickly coughed lightly and said, "Let's stop joking, let me tell you, that Easter egg sold for 31 million US dollars." ”

Hearing this number, Ye Mei was really a little surprised, and couldn't help but say, "So many?!"

"Just the right buyer. Jiang Ping explained to Ye Mei: "Of course, the auction house will also deduct a certain amount of handling fees, as well as some taxes or something, and in the end, about 26 or 7 million US dollars will be remitted to your Swiss bank account." ”

Ye Mei was silent for a moment, and then said to Jiang Ping seriously: "I've thought about it, I can't ask for this money, it's better for you to deal with it!"

Jiang Ping asked curiously, "Why?"

"Without your help, not only would I not have gotten such a large sum of money, but I wouldn't have been able to save my life. Ye Mei explained to Jiang Ping in a low voice: "And you know me as a person, and my attitude towards money is as long as it is enough." The gold I sold last time was enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life, so what's the point of asking for that money?"

Although Ye Mei's words did have some truth, Jiang Ping still shook his head and said: "I have a principle, I will never use my own woman's money, so won't it become a soft rice? As for how to spend it, there are actually many options. Even if you don't have to do it yourself, you can do charity and donate to those in need, which is much more meaningful than giving it to me!"

Seeing that Jiang Ping insisted on not wanting this money, the corners of Ye Mei's mouth involuntarily showed a smile, and after thinking about it, she nodded lightly and said, "You are right, just listen to you." ”

Jiang Ping smiled: "I will also help you pay attention to what investment channels there are, and if there is a suitable one, I will invest the money in it." Anyway, you can't spend that much money for the time being, so it should be a good choice to invest it. ”

Jiang Ping's suggestion is certainly certain, after all, with his relationship with Nicholas, it is natural to find some stable investment channels.

"Listen to you!" Ye Mei rarely showed a gentle side, and then asked Jiang Ping in a very seductive tone: "When are you coming back?" My bar is half renovated, I want to hear your opinion!"

Of course, Jiang Ping knew that what opinions Ye Mei wanted to hear was false, and it was true that she wanted to see herself. This also made him couldn't help but smile, and whispered to Ye Mei: "I still have some things to deal with here, and I will go back as soon as possible after I finish dealing with them." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Although it was only four short words, it had already clearly expressed Ye Mei's desire to see Jiang Ping.

The two got tired of talking on the phone for a while, and then Jiang Ping hung up the phone. Now that it's almost midnight in China, Ye Mei should also rest.

After the two auctions, the Easter egg incident is also continuing to ferment. First of all, the buyer who bought the fake easter egg publicly stated that he wanted to go to court against Facisco. not only asked the other party to return all the money he paid for the fake Easter eggs, but also put forward a high compensation claim.

And Fasco also launched a public opinion war, trying to prove that the easter egg it sold was genuine, and the easter egg of Monle Auction Company was a fake.

Yet in the face of powerful facts, Facisco's justification pales in comparison. No one believed them, and the company's credibility was further damaged.

Since Fasco did not admit to selling the counterfeit goods, the buyer immediately applied to the court for property preservation and seized all of Fasco's property to ensure that they could compensate themselves.

Because there have been rumors outside that Fasco is seriously short of cash flow, and it is simply unable to return that huge amount of money, let alone make compensation.

However, Fasco has been in business for many years, and Mark also has some connections. The buyer has just applied to the court for property preservation. Mark got the news from his connections.

Speaking from the bottom of my mind, Fasco does not have that much money on its books at the moment, but in the company's vault, there are still many valuable works of art, with a total value of nearly 20 million US dollars.

Mark, of course, would not let the court seize all the artworks, and immediately decided to transfer them before the court seized the company's belongings.

So that same night, an unmarked van quietly parked at the back door of Fasco. Then a few people carefully loaded some of the things that had been packed into the car. The whole process was quickly over, and the van quickly disappeared into the night.

The people in the car thought they were unaware of their actions, but they didn't know that a pair of eyes were watching their every move in the dark. (To be continued......)
