Chapter 1193: Snake Head Auction (2)

Seeing that Wang Lao and the others chose to believe in themselves and support themselves without reservation, Fang You's heart warmed, and his peaceful state of mind couldn't help but tremble.

In the face of enemies, he can be ruthless, but in the face of these people who support him and believe in him, his heart is only warm.

"Elder Wang, thank you, I will definitely live up to your expectations and let Christie's auction house get the punishment they deserve." Fang You said with a firm face.

Wang Lao suddenly smiled, "With Fang Xiaoyou's words, I believe we will definitely see Christie's auction house learn a lesson." ”

"Elder Wang, when they get a lesson, you will understand that this plan is very simple and easy, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose more." Fang You said with a smile, a few days ago, Tang Jinmo and Li Jianguo had already finished making the beast head, and he naturally used the escape technique to enter the treasure house, and now all the plans have been completed, and what he is waiting for is the auction of Christie's auction house.

After that, Dean DuPont contacted Fang You again to ask for his final opinion, but Fang You smiled and told him to act according to the original plan, and thanked him.

Dean Dupont agreed, and Fang You's kindness in saving his life could not be repaid only through this incident.

It's just that he is a little strange that with his power, coupled with the current recognition of Chinese culture by the French people, he can simply suspend this auction without causing protests from others.

If the auction is suspended, then the shame brought to China by Christie's auction house will not be realized, and it can be said that Christie's auction house will definitely work in vain, and will not get any benefits, on the contrary, it will offend all the people of China.

From this point of view, the suspension of the auction is undoubtedly the best solution to this matter, but Fang You asked him to reject the lawyer's team's appeal and let the auction continue, which made him a little incomprehensible.

Could it be that Fang You has his own plan, but whether he participates in the auction or not, it is not the most suitable way.

Previously, in another animal head auction, a Chinese private collector, chose to auction, but when he auctioned, but did not pay, caused a controversy in China, some people think that the collector's behavior is correct, but most people, but they think that this is undoubtedly fueling the arrogance of Christie's auction house, so that their purpose is achieved.

Christie's auction house auction animal head, undoubtedly using national feelings, to speculate the price of the beast head, as long as they participate in the bidding, participate in the auction, and raise the price upward, this is their victory, even if they do not pay in the end, their reputation is out, and the value of the animal head has also increased.

For Fang You, the life-saving benefactor, Dean Dupont has learned a little through these days, Fang You is not short of money, a few tens of millions of euros, it is nothing at all, but even if he buys this beast head through auction, so that the purpose of Christie's auction house can be achieved, and he will be infamy.

He had also persuaded Fang You before, but Fang You refused, no matter what, he had to choose to help Fang You complete this matter, just because this was his life-saving benefactor.

In other words, he also had some expectations in his heart, looking forward to what kind of way Fang You would teach Christie's auction house, in his opinion, Fang You was not a person who would be tied up.

The next morning, the much-publicized question of whether the auction of animal heads was suspended was tried in a local court in Paris, and the final result made the Huaxia lawyer group and all the people in China, including some people in France, very disappointed.

The result was naturally the same as the last time, the lawyer team was not directly related to the head of the beast, and there was no qualification and right to suspend the normal auction at all.

Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Huaxia Zhengaxe expressed regret over this result to the French Zhengaxe, and will proceed with the previous proposal to restrict all transactions in China by Christie's auction houses.

Some people in France also gathered in front of the court and the political axe building, and kept holding protest demonstrations, which seriously hurt the feelings of the French and Chinese people, and this will seriously hinder the cultural exchanges between the two countries.

Christie's was pleased with the result, and explained that this was a normal auction and had nothing to do with national feelings, and that they were just accepting items from their employers and conducting auction transactions.

They announced again that the auction originally scheduled to be held in the evening will be held on time, and friends from all walks of life are welcome to come to participate in the auction.

Many overseas Chinese and some French people immediately gathered in front of Christie's auction house and protested continuously, but Christie's auction house was completely indifferent.

Things have gone on so far, even if something big happens, Christie's auction house will choose to auction, otherwise, they may not have the face to mix in the auction house, and Huaxia political axe and the people will also be offended, if they don't auction, isn't it thankless, even if it is to hug the thigh of the world's largest diamond company, they will also conduct the auction.

If you lose the Chinese market, you will lose it, but the person in charge of the First Diamond Company promised them that as long as the auction is held, a large part of the diamond auction of their company will be auctioned by their Christie's auction house.

Everyone in the world values profits, and if they hold a diamond auction, whether they hate or support their auction house now, they will probably come to the auction and get benefits, and this is where their auction house has nothing to fear.

In the evening, Christie's auction house officially opened the special auction of the beast's head, and many French and foreign journalists gathered at Christie's auction site, ready to spread the live news of the scene at any time.

Take a look, this time the zodiac beast head, and what kind of astonishing price will be reached, the previous zodiac animal head, the lowest is the horse head more than 20 years ago, the price is 1,500 US dollars, and the two animal heads auctioned in the past few years, respectively, auctioned 14 million euros, in more than 20 years, the value of the beast head bronze statue, up 12,000 times, it can be seen that the benefits obtained by speculating on national feelings are simply more rich than imagined.

Some cultural relics scholars and experts in China have advised compatriots at home and abroad in China not to participate in the auction through various channels, otherwise it will be a trap for Christie's auction house, using national feelings to speculate on the price of the beast's head.

As evening approached, Fang You, Wang Lao and the others had been preparing for a long time, "Wang Lao, it's almost time, we should go." Fang You said with a faint smile on his face, today, he did not wear the straight suit from the last press conference, but a Mao suit, and it seemed that the momentum of the whole person had become different.

Wang Lao and the others suddenly smiled and stood up, "Yes, it's time to go, we can't let Christie's auction house wait for us, this time let's take a look at a big show prepared by Fang Xiaoyou for us and the people of the world." ”

Fang You can have such confidence, Wang Lao and those who know Fang You well do not have the slightest doubt, if the plan cannot be completed, or if Christie's auction house cannot learn a lesson, then with Fang You's surname, this plan will not be implemented at all.

Although they had no doubts, they had some doubts and some strong expectations about what kind of plan and what kind of way Fang You wanted to teach Christie's auction house a lesson.

Taking the special car from China, Fang You, Wang Lao and other Chinese experts and scholars came to Christie's auction, a large convention and exhibition center in Paris.

There were all kinds of people watching the scene, including news media reporters, people who were still protesting, people who were also watching coldly and were ready to see jokes, and some overseas Chinese, who were constantly handing out leaflets to those who entered the convention and exhibition center, which were full of accusations of the invasion of the Chinese Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces more than 100 years ago, and clear photos of the Old Summer Palace before and after the destruction of the Old Summer Palace were also printed on the pictures, so that some of the auctioneers could compare and ask them to give up the auction.

Seeing Fang You and Wang Lao and the others coming, the news media gathered around the others immediately came here, "Mr. Fang, may I ask if you are here to participate in the auction, or in other words, you are going to use some ways to prevent the normal holding of this auction." ”

"Mr. Fang, may I ask why you saved Dean DuPont and made Chinese culture flourish in France, why did Dean DuPont not suspend this auction, this should not be a difficult thing for him."

"Mr. Fang, do you think that in this auction, there will be people bidding for the beast head?"

"Mr. Fang, will you choose to bid, and then refuse to pay like the previous Huaxia collector?"

After surrounding Fang You, Wang Lao and others, the questions of a group of reporters kept bombarding them like cannonballs.

The security personnel who followed Huaxia, as well as the security personnel of the Convention and Exhibition Center, immediately separated the crowd and opened a passage for Fang You and the others.

Fang You smiled slightly, shook it with a leaflet from the auction, "Everyone, this auction is indeed a big news, which has attracted the attention of many people, I just want to say a little to you, I hope you can truthfully broadcast the matter of this auction to TV or the Internet, I believe you will have a harvest, this auction will definitely be more popular than all previous auctions." ”

"Oh, Mr. Fang, can you reveal some information, what kind of things will happen in this auction." The news reporters of the major media suddenly lit up and asked Fang You one after another.

Fang You smiled slightly, and under the escort of the security personnel, he walked into the convention and exhibition center, and then turned around and said, "Everyone, there is nothing to say about the specifics, you just need to wait and see." ”

Tickets are also needed to participate in this auction, but with the energy of Fang You, Wang Lao and others, it is really not a problem to get some tickets, not to mention, those people in Christie's auction house, I wish that the participants in the auction were all Chinese, so that their interests can be maximized.

Fang You took the animal head auction leaflet from Christie's auction house, took a closer look, and immediately smiled, Christie's auction agreement to guarantee the authenticity of the product really allowed him to come to France for all expenses.

Entering the convention and exhibition center, there is still half an hour before the auction starts, and there are already scattered people sitting in the venue, talking in twos and threes.

Most of the people seated here were foreigners, and some of them had Asian faces, and when they saw the commotion coming from the entrance, everyone looked back and looked surprised.

Wang Lao and the others may be a little unfamiliar to them, but Fang You, as long as they have been in France recently, will not be unfamiliar, the shock of the Chengying Sword, the beautiful sound of the alpine flowing water piano music, and the miraculous healing of Dean Dupont's medical skills have brought them a deep impression.

They couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, did Fang You come here to participate in the auction, the people who could come to this auction were all famous people from all walks of life, and only they would not be afraid of Huaxia political axe, and they could afford to buy the beast head.

Fang You, Wang Lao and the others sat down in the front row, and then looked at the auction table, the thing covered by the red cloth, everyone knew that under this red cloth was the beast head to be auctioned today.

Sensing the gray air flow he had entered into it, Fang You shook his head and smiled, looking at the few big words of Christie's auction house beast head auction written on the big screen in front of him, and sneered, full of disdain for Christie's auction house.

After that, people entered the convention and exhibition center in twos and threes, and sat down, some were ready to participate, and some were just waiting to watch the auction, to the surprise of some people, Dean DuPont also came to the auction and said hello to Fang You, but did not sit next to Fang You, but sat at a long distance.

This couldn't help but make them feel strange, Fang You was a patriotic cultural relics expert, but Dean DuPont did not choose to help Fang You in court and stop the auction, and now he greeted Fang You as if this had not happened.

Some reporters at the scene also filmed the scene and broadcast it live, which is also the way Christie's auction house has expanded its influence.

Allowing some well-known news outlets to enter the auction house, film the whole process at will, and allow it to be broadcast live, can make their Christie's auction house more famous, and the benefits of this auction will be greater.

"Good evening everyone, I am a reporter from the Paris culture column, and now I am on the scene to broadcast for you the situation of the Christie's animal head auction that has attracted much attention, and now there are five minutes left before the auction, we can see that there are many people sitting in the venue, but compared to the last beast head auction, the number of people in this auction seems to be somewhat reduced, on the auction table of the convention and exhibition center, there is a thing covered with a red cloth, that is, today's protagonist, the Chinese zodiac beast head."

"Christie's auction house withstood the huge pressure from all parties this time, the protest of the Chinese political axe, and the French political axe's refusal to bear the consequences, as well as the protests of the Chinese people and the French people, these huge pressures did not make Christie's auction house give up, so whether this auction can be held smoothly, whether anyone will participate in the auction, and the challenge words of the famous Chinese cultural artist Mr. Fang You, will there be any action in the future, let us wait and see."

Five minutes later, the booth was lit up and the auction began, starting with the head of Christie's auction house in France, who welcomed everyone to the auction.

And introduced in detail the information of the beast head, as well as its considerable appreciation space in the future, and finally, the person in charge set his eyes on the front row, "This time Mr. Fang You can come to participate in the auction, so we Christie's auction house is very honored, only with warm applause thanks, speaking of which, Mr. Fang You and we are all peers in the auction industry, I don't know what Mr. Fang has to say about this auction." ”

"Fang Xiaoyou, stay calm and don't pay attention to it." Wang Lao smiled disdainfully, just trying to use their anger to make this auction even hotter.

Fang You slowly stood up, with a smile on his face, "Hehe, my peers in the auction industry, I don't dare to be, Christie's dare to auction things, but I Longyou Auction House does not dare to auction, for this auction, I am still the same sentence as before, the real surname of the snake head, I express serious doubts." ”

"Mr. Fang, you have been worried, this snake head has been identified by a number of experts and modern scientific and technological instruments to ensure authenticity, and the auction agreement has already written that if this is really a fake, then our auction will give compensation twice the auction price, so Mr. Fang does not have to worry." The person in charge said with a smile that at this auction, Fang You's provocation was also the order of the world's No. 1 diamond company.

What's more, Fang You's previous words to Christie's auction house had already made the auction house feel disgusted with Fang You, and it was definitely a refreshing thing to be able to see his anger, but Fang You didn't have any anger in the face of their provocation.

"Hehe, in this way, I am relieved." Fang You smiled, didn't argue with him much, and then sat down, but the tape recorder in his pocket had already recorded the words of the person in charge of Christie's just now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to start, and the person in charge of Christie's has already started a confrontation with Mr. Fang You, a famous Chinese cultural relics artist, and seems to be taking revenge on Mr. Fang You's suspicion of Christie's before, but Mr. Fang You's mood is very high, and the provocative words of the person in charge of Christie's have not caused Mr. Fang You's anger at all, and what kind of progress will be made in the auction after the auction, we will broadcast it live for you at any time."

Seeing the smiling expression on Fang You's face, Wang Hao, Wang Chongyang, as well as Xie Shuyuan, Yang Chuangjun, and even Dong Qilin, all swore to their friends or family members next to them: "This Christie's auction house has a big deal, and it will definitely be over." ”

Everyone was a little puzzled, and then asked, "Once Fang Kid shows such a smile, it means that someone is going to be unlucky, this is a fact that we have witnessed firsthand." ”

In the Wuyang courtyard, Old Chu looked at the TV and smiled slightly, but Chen Zongyi laughed loudly, "Old Man Chu, Fang Boy must be thinking about some bad water." ”

"Hehe, just look at it, we can watch this big show on the spot, which can be regarded as our luck, or rather, Christie's auction house is very lucky." Chu Lao smiled, his face full of anticipation. (To be continued.) )
