Chapter 674: Private Auction (Medium)
……
"Hello beautiful young lady, I am Ichiro Tanaka of the Tanaka family in Japan, can I have the honor to know the name of the young lady and invite you to dance?"
Just when Liu Dong was chatting with Mei Xue, a young man in a black suit, with a thin figure and a somewhat feminine temperament, walked over.
And this person aimed at Mei Xue at the exit, and ignored Liu Dong next to him!
"I'm sorry, I don't know you!" Mei Xue frowned, as a Chinese, she also has no good feelings for the Japanese, but in the public here, she didn't want to cause any trouble to Liu Dong, so she politely refused.
After listening to her, Ichiro Tanaka had a smile on his face, and the haze in his eyes flashed, "Most people in this world are strangers to each other, but good communication and communication can make strangers become very good friends, I believe that since I am destined to meet Miss here, then we will definitely be able to become friends!"
"I'm sorry, please leave, I don't want to be friends with you!" Mei Xue said with a tense face.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have thrown her face and left!
However, despite Mei Xue's continuous refusal, she underestimated Ichiro Tanaka's nonsense Cheng dù.
"Miss. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly......" Ichiro Tanaka said as he tried to sit down on the sofa next to him. You might as well go to Liu Dong next to him with a lightning-fast kick. kicked the sofa under Ichiro Tanaka's buttocks, causing the unprepared Japanese to sit on the ground with a butt and fall on all fours.
"Poof!" The Japanese wolf bèi, Mei Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
And many people in the living room also noticed this, and Ichiro Tanaka's fall to the ground also made many people laugh.
"Baga, damn bastard, I'm going to teach you a lesson!" the wolf got up from the ground. Ichiro Tanaka threw his fist at Liu Dong with a face full of shame and anger.
In the face of Ichiro Tanaka, who pounced on him, Liu Dong waved his hand calmly, like driving away a fly, and his hand looked like he had no strength, but when he brushed Ichiro Tanaka's arm, he lifted Ichiro Tanaka, who was more than 1.7 meters tall and nearly 150 pounds, and rolled twice in the air, and then fell on the floor two meters away with a 'bang', and stopped after rolling twice.
"This time it's just a lesson for you. The next time I harass my girlfriend, it won't end like this!" Liu Dong stood up. With his hands in his trouser pockets casually, he looked condescendingly at Ichiro Tanaka, who looked frightened and resentful, and said coldly.
Until now, Liu Dong's aura has been completely triggered because of this small accident, and the momentum of the superior person combined with the evil qi accumulated by dozens of lives in his hand blade formed a powerful oppressive force, making the originally somewhat noisy living room instantly become quiet.
Everyone was looking at this tall young man, either openly or secretly.
Seeing that he had become a harlequin who set off his mortal enemy, how could this make Ichiro Tanaka, who had lived a privileged life since childhood, be willing, and immediately broke free from the two bodyguards who helped him up, and said with a hideous expression: "Horita, Yanagishita, are you all blind?
Hearing this, after Tokuo Horita and Yanagishita looked at each other, their faces couldn't help but hesitate, they were not afraid of this young man, but this was not their own home after all, if they fought here, it would be a provocation for the organizers of this auction!
"Horita, Yanagishita, come back!"
Hearing this voice, Tokuo Horita and Yanagishita suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then obediently took two steps back, respectfully got out of the way, and let a half-hundred-year-old man in a brown suit with a stern expression come to Tanaka Ichiro's side, "Ichiro, aren't you still making enough trouble? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Liu quickly!"
"What, let me apologize to him, second uncle, you ......!"
Before Ichiro Tanaka could wait, the middle-aged man had already slapped him on the back of the head, and said with a stern expression: "Hurry up and apologize!"
Ichiro Tanaka, who had never seen such a look from his second uncle, gritted his teeth and glared at Liu Dong angrily, and after a long time, he reluctantly squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "I'm sorry!"
apologized to Ichiro Tanaka for his insincerity, Liu Dong just nodded, and then focused his eyes on the middle-aged man beside him, as the saying goes, 'A dog that bites doesn't bark', compared to Ichiro Tanaka, who wrote his love on his face, this old devil next to him is the more difficult to deal with.
"Mr. Tanaka seems to know me?" Liu Dong said.
"Mr. Liu Dong, the famous 'Jade King', has also been famous for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet Your Excellency here, what an honor!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong raised his eyebrows and said with a little surprise: "So Mr. Tanaka is also a person in the jewelry industry?"
"Our Tanaka family is a director of Kuwasan Co., Ltd.," Kenji Tanaka nodded.
"Sangshan Co., Ltd.?" Liu Dong's heart moved, because of the relationship in the jewelry industry, Liu Dong is no stranger to the world's major jewelry companies, and Sangshan Co., Ltd. is Japan's largest jewelry company, which controls the entire industrial chain from raw materials to design and then to sales terminals, and its business covers diamonds, jade, jade, gold and other major jewelry categories, and the scale is no less than the rose jewelry after the annexation of Han's jewelry.
Just as Kenji Tanaka was about to say something more, Van Gaal, who had been greeting him outside the door, respectfully led an elderly white man in his sixties wearing a simple white T-shirt to walk in.
After walking to the living room, the two naturally noticed the abnormality of the atmosphere, but before Van Gaal could say anything, the elderly white man next to him had already strode up after seeing Liu Dong.
"Is it Mr. Liu Dong from China?" the old man asked with a smile after walking up to Liu Dong.
To be honest, Liu Dong's heart is really depressed now, how can it seem that everyone knows him, but he has no impression of these people at all.
"I'm Liu Dong, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Liu Dong said curiously.
"My name is Dennis Eskenazi, and it's a pleasure to meet you!"
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the hall was still noisy, and everyone looked at the old man in front of them, their faces full of curiosity and surprise.
Liu Dong didn't expect that he was actually the real tycoon in the European collecting industry in front of him!
In the world of antiques, Denis Eskenazi's name is synonymous with top antique dealers and collectors. The family business began in Milan in 1923, and in 1960 Dennis and his father opened a branch in London, with the main purpose of raising handicrafts to supply the Milan main store run by his uncle Vittorio. After the death of his father in 1967, Dennis Eskenazi took over the management of the London business and became a leader in the industry in just a few years around the mid-1970s.
Moreover, the old man had an unusual passion for Chinese culture and the collection of Chinese art, especially classical furniture. Even during the Cultural Revolution, this old man had visited China many times, and he was one of the few porcelain connoisseurs among European connoisseurs who did not start with the export of porcelain, but preferred the more complex, more challenging vision and appraisal knowledge of ancient artworks.
So, after Liu Dong stepped into the antique shop, he knew something about this top European antique dealer and collector, but he didn't expect to see it here today.
Moreover, it seems that this old man is still quite interested in himself.
However, it was not only Eskenazi who was interested in Liu Dong, when this famous figure in the European collecting world walked to Liu Dong's side, the originally inconspicuous Liu Dong instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, even Van Gaal next to him.
"It seems that Liu is not just rich as that!" Van Gaal said to himself.
At this moment, Mei Xue's heart standing beside Liu Dong is also a little complicated, after Liu Dong's expression in the brief conflict with Ichiro Tanaka just now, plus the current situation, the first love in front of her, who she hasn't seen for more than four years, is definitely not as simple as just an antique dealer as her girlfriend said!
But even if Mei Xue is confused in her heart now, she can only wait until the auction is over to ask!
After a brief greeting to Liu Dong, Eskenazi glanced at the empty seat next to Liu Dong and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you don't mind if I do it next to you, right?"
"Of course, it's my honor!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Nodding, Eskenazi sat down and said to Van Gaal next to him, "Mr. Lord, shouldn't the auction start, I don't think anyone should come again?"
"Of course, I'll go down and make arrangements!" After speaking, Van Gaal nodded to Liu Dong and turned to leave.
"Oh, I was just chatting with Mr. Liu, but I neglected the beautiful young lady next to me!" Looking at Mei Xue, who was sitting next to Liu Dong, Eskenazi smiled.
"Hello old man, my name is Xue Mei, and I'm from China!" Mei Xue took the initiative to stand up and say out of respect for the elderly.
After nodding to Mei Xue with a kind expression, Eskenazi smiled at Liu Dong and said, "Mr. Liu's Yanfu really makes me, an old man, a little envious!"
"The old gentleman has won the prize!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Hehe, I heard that Mr. Liu has collected the "Five Elements and Twenty-Eight Nights" by Zhang Shengqiu, a famous painter of the Liang Kingdom during the Southern Dynasties in the history of your country, I wonder if I can have the honor to see this great work with my own eyes!" said Eskenazi after a pause.
"I didn't expect the old gentleman to understand my country's history and culture so clearly, it's really surprising!" Liu Dongdao.
After smiling faintly, Eskenazi sighed slightly: "Chinese civilization is the only glorious civilization in the world that has been handed down from ancient times, and the artworks are all over the five continents such as Asia, Europe and the United States, and even any museum in the world has cultural relics from China.......
