Chapter 1201: De Beers' quibble
If Fang You directly rejected Christie's first apology plan, which made people feel very shocked, and Fang You was very courageous, this Christie's second apology plan really made everyone never expect it.
In front of the world's major media, he took the initiative to apologize, which is already the biggest bottom limit for all other companies in the world, but Christie's auction house not only did it, but also gave Fang You monetary compensation, and even made a guarantee that it would not auction the lost cultural relics in China again.
It's just that Fang You was not satisfied with Christie's apology plan, and said his dissatisfaction at the press conference very domineeringly.
In the following very short time, Christie's auction house made an apology plan again, this time the apology plan, so that no one could imagine, in addition to doubling the money on the basis of the last compensation, it also made a decision to donate 100 pieces of Christie's collection of Chinese cultural relics to the Huaxia Longwen Museum, and also took out evidence of De Beers's participation in this auction.
One hundred precious cultural relics of China, some famous cultural relics in the world, all know how many precious cultural relics from various countries are in Christie's auction house, and the number of treasures in their collection is no less than that of a large museum.
But now, in order to get Fang You's forgiveness, they chose to come up with a hundred, which is unbelievable, and the evidence they presented from De Beers undoubtedly shows that they have completely broken with De Beers and will never have the slightest possibility of reuniting.
In addition to lamenting the incredulity of this apology plan, everyone was also deeply lamenting that the cost of offending Fang You was so huge.
De Beers' strength is very huge, the world's No. 1 jewelry tycoon with more than 100 years of development, is definitely a powerful business empire, although Fang You's sanctions are shocking, can affect part of De Beers' business, but can not make De Beers company suffer more damage.
However, with these evidences presented by Christie's auction house, it is enough to show that De Beers deliberately auctioned off the famous cultural relics of China, provoked a war in the cultural relics industry, and provoked hatred between the Chinese and French people, which would definitely attract severe sanctions from the Chinese political axe and even the French political axe.
With the sanctions imposed by the two countries, coupled with the spread of this incident around the world, the impact on De Beers' reputation is absolutely immeasurable.
Even if the Chinese government strongly demands that the domestic jewelry industry ban the purchase of De Beers jewelry, then it can be said that Huaxia, the world's largest jewelry consumer market, has completely lost its relationship with De Beers.
In a big hotel in Paris, Fang You, Wang Lao and others also saw the press conference of Christie's auction house's new apology plan in the room, and some of the conditions even made several old men sitting a little moved.
Looking at this apology plan, Fang You shook his head and chuckled, "Hehe, Fang Xiaoyou, what, this apology plan, do you think it's not good." Wang Lao said with a smile.
"Wang Lao, in fact, I want them to hand over all the treasured Chinese cultural relics, so as to solve the hatred in our hearts, but this idea is not realistic, although I can not want interests, do not want reputation, and risk being said by others to be dissatisfied with the greedy ghost, to ask for more compensation, but Christie's auction house may not be able to give, this time Christie's auction house is just to give other auction houses in the world a lesson, a bloody lesson, so, maybe it can be stopped, but, for the return of Chinese cultural relics, We don't stop there. ”
Fang You shook his head and smiled, and then said, in order to make more Huaxia cultural relics return, he would rather not be faceless, but it is not good for them to drive Christie's auction house crazy, maybe other famous auction houses will join forces to boycott, he can not care, but for the overall reputation of Huaxia, the impact is not good.
"Yes, the return of Chinese cultural relics is a heavy and long way to go, and we can't rush it for a while, otherwise it will backfire, but as long as we have a breath left, the efforts for the return of Chinese cultural relics will never stop." Wang Lao sighed, Christie's auction house took out a hundred precious cultural relics, which seems to be a lot, but for the number of cultural relics lost by Huaxia overseas, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
"Yes, Elder Wang, the lesson of Christie's auction house this time is just the beginning, and there is still a long time to settle the general accounts with these robbers one by one." Fang You said calmly.
Wang Lao laughed, "That's the matter of your young people, we are old, we can only watch your performance at home, I really envy those old friends in Huaxia, who can watch this big show while knocking melon seeds." ”
"Lao Wang, you envy them, they probably still envy us, we are witnesses to this incident, they wish they could come to France to watch the live broadcast." An old man said with a smile.
"Well, it makes sense to say that, so let them be envious, haha." Wang Lao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.
After that, Wang Lao asked with a smile: "Fang Xiaoyou, since we have already made a decision, then we might as well hold a press conference again to announce this news." ”
"Hehe, Elder Wang, we also have to rest, those reporters are also tired of running around this day, let them stop the meeting, and hold a press conference tomorrow." Looking at Wang Lao's eager expression, Fang You said with a helpless smile.
"Well, we're going to have to stay in the hotel and watch TV today." Wang Lao said with some disappointment, suddenly seemed to think of something, his face changed, and then he laughed, "By the way, notify the domestic cultural relics department and pass us the list of precious Chinese cultural relics of Christie's auction house, and we will help Fang Xiaoyou determine these 100 cultural relics today, and save Christie's auction house from fooling us at that time." ”
"Wang Lao said very much, a hundred cultural relics, we can go to the Longwen Museum to watch and study in the future, it is really gratifying." A cultural relics scholar said with a smile on his face.
After Christie's announced a new apology, many reporters rushed to the hotel where Fang You lived, asking for an interview with Fang You and asking for his opinion on Christie's apology plan.
Fang You told these reporters through the hotel staff that the press conference will be held on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and they will all go back to rest today.
This made the reporters a little helpless, but after thinking about it, this event cannot be broadcast in one day, and the audience must always have some expectations, so that they can have more ratings and attract more people to pay attention to this event.
After that, some of the world's famous TV stations and Internet forums began to summarize and replay the incident, and described the development of the process in detail.
Moreover, the evidence presented by Christie's auction house, the agreement, the recording of the telephone call, was also widely disseminated in various parts of the world, and all of a sudden, many people with a conscience began to angrily denounce De Beers for its despicability and shamelessness.
While condemning Christie's auction house, the French people also launched protests against De Beers, holding demonstrations in major branches of De Beers in France, accusing De Beers of using Christie's auction house to take advantage of this beast head auction incident to undermine the friendship between the French and Chinese peoples.
Moreover, a large part of the people gathered in front of Congress and the political axe, urging the political axe to punish De Beers for his criminal act of undermining the friendship between the two countries.
In China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China quickly responded, and announced at a press conference that it would severely condemn De Beers' behavior of undermining the friendship between the two peoples, and proposed that in view of De Beers' behavior against Huaxia, De Beers would be included in the key watch list, and some restrictions would be imposed on De Beers' major branches in China to prevent the occurrence of other sabotage activities.
Some of the top executives of De Beers Company turned as black as charcoal after learning about what happened in France, and they originally wanted to use this auction to slap Fang You in the face and let him know that the person who offended them De Beers did not end well.
But now, not only did it fail to slap its face, but it also made Christie's auction house defect, making them scratch their bodies, and becoming synonymous with crime and shamelessness and destroying the relationship between the two countries.
They wanted to contact Christie's auction house and scolded them for this kind of behavior, but the moment they heard their call, the people from Christie's auction house hung up directly, and wanted to contact Fang You to negotiate and see if things could develop harmoniously, but they were severely rejected by the staff of Fang You's company.
The development of this incident made them unpredictable, just a beast head auction, but it caused such a big impact and consequences.
In the previous few beast head auctions, Huaxia Zheng Axe also protested like now, but the auction house was not affected in any way, and after research, they had to admit that this time the matter had Fang You's participation, which made everything different.
No Chinese entrepreneur can be as desperate as he is, not to mention that some of his companies are exactly what many countries want to set up branches.
The people of De Beers' head office tried to find a punching bag, but they couldn't find it, because the auction of the beast's head was voted on by all the senior management at a high-level meeting.
For this reason, they ordered the head of the French side to immediately hold a press conference to announce that all the evidence was forged by Christie's auction house, and that this incident had absolutely nothing to do with their De Beers company, and that they were sympathetic to the suffering of Fang You and the Chinese people.
At the press conference, there were also some reporters, but after the press conference, many people were even more disgusted with De Beers's rogue behavior, and the famous commentators on major TV stations were all saying the same thing, rather than thinking about how to deny or escape this incident, it is better to correct the attitude, admit mistakes, and solve this matter, which is the bearing that a world's largest company has.
