"Congratulations, young man, you're so young and terrifying, hey, why do I look a little familiar with your girl?"

A lady sitting in the front row of Xi Qing turned her head and smiled at Xi Qing kindly, but when she looked at Tao Xiaoman, she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about where she had seen Tao Xiaoman?

Xi Qing hurriedly nodded and returned the salute, he was not afraid that Tao Xiaoman would be jealous, because this lady's age was enough to be his mother. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hello, my name is Tao Xiaoman......

The lady didn't know Tao Xiaoman, but Tao Xiaoman knew her, and responded politely at the moment.

"Oh...... I know...... "Ms. seems to know Tao Xiaoman's parents.

Ms. Wang laughed when she heard this, and then said, "Who is this?" ”

"Xi Qing."

"You were very powerful...... I admire you. ”

"I don't dare to be, I'm just not very good-tempered, just a little bit, watching this foreign devil use the cultural relics snatched from China, and then make money from Chinese, this is not very good, so I said those words, it is really not worthy of admiration......"

Xi Qing didn't know the person in front of him, but judging by his demeanor, he should also be a person with a head and a face, and seeing that he was not young, he hurriedly said a few words modestly.

However, Xi Qing still has a lot of selfishness in buying this painting, but he doesn't want to be thought that he is too scheming, so he has to make a look of righteous indignation.

"Well, young man, you can be worthy of the daughter of the Tao family......"

The lady looked at Xi Qing and smiled, and turned her head back.

"Tao Xiaoman, who is this?"

Seeing the lady turn behind her, Xi Qing asked in a whisper in Tao Xiaoman's ear.

"She's not small......

Tao Xiaoman put his small mouth to Xi Qing's ear and said: "Don't look at her as a woman, but she is a director and vice president of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the Bank Investment Co., Ltd., and chairman of the Enterprise Development Center of the Hong Kong Management Association." Her assets, even in Hong Kong, can be regarded as super-rich, speaking of which, she is still friends with my grandfather, and I know my uncle, but I don't know ......."

"By the way, she has participated in many international auctions, and her family has a lot of precious antiques, I remember that in 2002, at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, China, she spent 41.5 million Hong Kong dollars to bid for the Qing Yongzheng pastel manta olive vase, and then generously donated it to the Shanghai Museum."

Xi Qing knows the Yongzheng pastel. Qing Yongzheng pastel bat olive bottle, this beautiful pastel bottle is olive-shaped, and the modeling lines are very beautiful.

The bottle body is painted with pastel eight peach and two bats, the peach symbolizes "longevity", "bat" is the homonym of "blessing", this auspicious pattern with the theme of bat peach is common in the official kiln porcelain of the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.

Most of the bats painted on the pastel ware of the Yongzheng official kiln are large and small plates, which are extremely rare to see in the olive bottle, and the olive bottle with the pastel bat peach pattern is currently the only one in the world, so it can be called a peerless treasure bottle.

That lot also created the highest price for Chinese art in the international market for a while, and Xi Qing probably remembered that this person was called Wang Baozhen.

For such a character, even the current Xi Qing has a feeling of looking up to the mountains, whether in terms of money or status, the gap between Xi Qing and him is still very large.

"Can you ask her to donate or put some objects in your museum?"

Such a thought suddenly popped up in Xi Qing's mind, although he has a lot of good things in his hands now, but with Wang Baozhen, who is from a collector's family, it is a world away, and Xi Qing can't help but hit the other party's head.

Since he wants to open a private museum, Xi Qing wants to make it the most influential private museum in China, but it is obviously impossible to rely on his own objects.

Xi Qing has long had the idea of integrating some private collectors' collections, but the specific operation is more complicated, Xi Qing is only in the conception stage now, but after meeting Wang Baozhen, the ideas in his mind are gradually taking shape.

Xi Qing thinks so now, as long as the other party is willing to take out his own collection to participate in the exhibition, the ownership of the object is still the other party's, and he signs a contract with him, and after one or two years of exhibition, the item will be returned to its owner and pay some fees.

Of course, if the other party's collection is far larger than his own exhibition collection, Xi Qing doesn't mind giving most of the museum's income to the other party, but even if the shares are counted, it is difficult to distribute the shares when it comes to the ownership of the collections in the museum.

As for whether the museum can make money, Xi Qing is not sure now, anyway, he is ready to lose money, for now, it seems that except for Mr. Ma's museum, which can barely pay the daily expenses of some museums, I haven't heard of any private museum that is profitable.

"I'm sorry, sir......"

When Xi Qing was there to bow his head and ponder, the auction had continued, and a middle-aged man walked up to Xi Qing's side and interrupted his train of thought.

"You are?"

Xi Qing frowned slightly, and as soon as he came up with a little bit about the future development of the museum, he was interrupted, and he was very uncomfortable.

"My name is Kate, I am a lawyer at XX Auction House in Paris, and I have been entrusted by the organizing committee of this auction to warn you, Mr. Xi, not to publish political tendencies and untrue remarks at the auction venue, and if there is a next time, we will ask you to leave.

In addition, the truth of history has been buried in time, and you have no evidence to say that these things were plundered from your country......"

With Kate's words, Xi Qing's face gradually became ugly, what he said when he took this painting was largely because he didn't want anyone to bid with him, but now what Kate said completely angered Xi Qing.

Xi Qing asked himself if he was not an angry young man, and when he needed to choose between national interests and private interests, Xi Qing might not choose private interests.

But this does not mean that he can endure being provoked, a person's patience also has a bottom line, and Kate's words have exceeded the bottom line that Xi Qing can bear.

"I'm sorry, I think you can sue me if I violate the laws of your country, if not, I will consider your words to be a threat to me, I don't know a well-known multinational auction house would do such a thing......"

Xi Qingmeng stood up, his voice was so loud that it almost drowned out Cook's words in the microphone in front of him, and it was clearly heard in the auction hall where more than 200 people could sit.

"Oh...... No, Mr. Xi, I didn't mean that......"

Kate found the Chinese in front of her. A little different from the Chinese in his own understanding, he originally thought that after he gave a warning, the other party would accept it very humbly, but he did not expect that this young man's personality was so violent, and he actually shouted on the spot, which was a little out of his control.

"You've made it clear......"

Xi Qing coldly threw down a sentence, then strode to the front desk and said, "Mr. Auctioneer, don't you mind if I say a few words?" ”

Xi Qing didn't care whether Cook minded or not, he directly took the microphone on the auction table in his hand, and said to the audience: "Gentlemen, ladies, friends from all over the world who love Chinese culture, I'm sorry to bother you for a few minutes, I want to talk about what happened to me just now......"

“****！ What did Kate do? ”

In a room on the second floor of the auction hall, a middle-aged man with gray hair and about 50 years old smashed the ashtray in his hand to the ground.

"Go, let the security guard pull that Chinese down......"

"Dennis, no, that person's information has come back, he is very influential in China, he is the backbone of the Jiangcheng Antique Association, and there is a very large business, involving jewelry, antiques, mining, his influence in China is so great, if we do this, it will cause international disputes...... Also, his fiancée is an ore miner... Very powerful. ”

Next to the middle-aged man, another person stopped his decision, looking at a fax in his hand, his brow furrowed tightly.

This fax not only contains Xi Qing's own information, but also Xi Qing's family relationship and his circle of interests are actually listed, which shows that the background of this auction house is not simple.

"****, Cook is an idiot, why do you want to warn that young man, let him buy that painting and it will be over?!"

After seeing Xi Qing's family relationship, Dennis's body sat back on the sofa, their auction house also has a branch in China, so he naturally knows what kind of background the family relationship on this fax paper represents.

Don't look at their influence all over the developed countries in the world, but if you lend them another guts, you don't dare to be rude to Xi Qing.

So Dennis could only vent his anger on Cook's head, after all, it was Cook who asked the lawyer to warn Xi Qing just now, and Dennis also felt that it was very appropriate at the time, after all, Xi Qing's sideways behavior caused their interests to suffer.

Now, of course, Dennis doesn't think so.

…… Xi Qing's sudden outburst not only overwhelmed the auction, but also the many buyers who participated in the auction didn't know what was going on, and looked at Xi Qing standing in front blankly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, a lawyer who claimed to be from this auction house warned me that I had said something untrue, and that he meant that the painting I had just taken was not plundered from China, as I said.

Here, I can say very responsibly that 100% of Lang Shining's painting was snatched by Frey of the French invasion of China, do you dare to say that what I said is not the truth? Do you dare to shout that the owner and I testify?! ”

Xi Qing took a long breath, calmed down his excitement, and then said: "I originally thought that France was a country of free speech, but I didn't expect them to dare to face their past history, which made me feel very disappointed. ”

"When it comes to Germany, I can't help but say that post-war Germany is still very worthy of our respect, they dare to face up to their own mistakes, to take responsibility, to compensate for losses, you France must have benefited a lot from this, right?

But have you reflected on the disasters brought about by the Chinese? Isn't it possible to take the looted cultural relics from China and auction them off?

Of course, there are still many friendly people in France who can face history squarely, and I am now talking to a museum about the return of some Chinese cultural relics, but I feel very angry about the actions of your auction house.

If that's the case, I don't think there's any need for you to warn me, I can withdraw from this auction myself, and at the same time, I hope that all Chinese with a conscience can also make such a choice, thank you, for the delay......"

After Xi Qing said this, he bowed deeply to the audience, and then strode towards the door, Tao Xiaoman and Wu Lisha also stood up and walked to Xi Qing's side.

"Smack...... Bang bang ......"

Starting from Ms. Wang, the applause slowly rang out, and behind Xi Qing, people kept leaving their seats and joining in.

More than 100 Chinese collectors from all over the world were invited to the special auction of Chinese art held by this auction house in Paris, and the total number of participants in this auction was less than 200.

It can be said that if all the Chinese in the venue leave, then the auction will end without a hitch.

No matter how much the Chinese like infighting and how disunited they usually are, after Xi Qing's words, they all stood up, followed behind Xi Qing, and protested against the auction committee with wordless actions.

Even if there are some people who don't want to leave, in the face of the general trend, they can only follow, from the auction table to the door is only a few dozen meters, walking behind Xi Qing, who is at the front, there are already more than 100 people.

The flash lights in the venue kept flashing, and this special auction of Chinese art in Paris was protested by the Chinese government and the Chinese government, and it was also noticed by many media, and many media units sent reporters to pay attention to the auction.

There were not only Parisian media, but also Chinese news media, and after the end of the first lot, they made such a big gimmick, which undoubtedly made these people engaged in journalism as if they were beaten with chicken blood.

"Hey, man, Jean, you've taken my place......" a man holding a camera pushed the man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, but I came before you......"

"Then you can only decide with force."

The man in front of him refused to give in at all, this is big news, tomorrow he will definitely be in the headlines of major newspapers, and the photos he takes in a good position will definitely sell for a good price, uh, this is a freelance journalist.

"I'm sorry, please let ......" (To be continued.) )
