Chapter 131, joint non-bidding

To be honest, Xi Qing's behavior today is exactly what many people want to say but dare not say, want to do but don't have the opportunity to do, it can be said that from today on, the international collecting community will know the Chinese name Xi Qing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He felt obligated to do it, and he was not afraid of these foreigners.

"Let's go in, freedom of speech, we have the right to report on the progress of this matter......"

"Yes, I'm from the Evening de France, and you have no right to stop me from reporting on the news......"

"Oh my God, what did I see, you didn't let reporters in......" The one who spoke was a New York Daily reporter who had always claimed to be a free country.

After the group entered the conference room, the security guards of the auction house stopped all the reporters outside, only Dennis and Daniel followed, causing the reporters outside to complain, but this floor was bought by the auction house, and they have the right to prohibit reporters from interviewing.

Soon after everyone sat down, a waiter came up with fruit and tea, which Daniel had arranged, and if these Chinese collectors really decided to leave, it would be a disaster for their auction house.

The reason why Dennis and Daniel bowed their heads this time is because there are more and more rich people in China, and the big hands that have repeatedly appeared in the international auction are all Chinese, and it can be said that the current art market, consumption power from China, can almost be regarded as the main force.

With this premise, even if Dennis and Daniel are unhappy in their hearts, they dare not offend these gods of wealth, who will have trouble with money?

If they had known about Xi Qing before, I'm afraid this incident would not have happened, others can say whatever they like, why bother to be as out of control as now.

"Mr. Xi, friends, I sincerely apologize for what happened today, it was a complete misunderstanding.

I think that we should face up to that period of history more than 100 years ago, but it is all in the past and should not affect the friendship between our two countries. Do you say yes, we shouldn't affect friendship, long live friendship.

It should not affect the artistic exchanges between us, art knows no borders or nationality, friends, are you right? ”

It must be said that Daniel's eloquence is very good, although he acknowledges the history of more than a hundred years ago at the beginning, but he avoids the important and trivializes the topic to art, so that everyone feels that he is holding on to the pigtails of the French, which seems to be a little too stingy.

"Mr. Daniel, we should be talking about your lawyer, in the harm caused to my client just now, can I understand your bank's threat to Mr. Xi?"

Wu Lisa is used to litigate lawsuits, and as soon as she speaks, she will lead the topic to what happened today.

After Daniel heard Wu Lisha's words, he waved his hand again and again: "For this matter, I guarantee that it is definitely not from the auction house's instructions, and we definitely have no intention of threatening Mr. Xi......"

"Mr. Daniel, I think that the lawyers of your firm have not only threatened and warned me, but also given a distorted interpretation of the history that took place between the two countries more than a hundred years ago.

This kind of behavior not only hurts my personal feelings, I am afraid that all Chinese here are unacceptable, and I need a formal and written apology!

Otherwise, I will not accept it, and I will still withdraw from this auction!! ”

Xi Qing originally planned to leave everything to Wu Lisa to deal with, but after hearing Daniel's words, he couldn't help but stand up again.

As the saying goes, if you sell your child to buy a steamer, you don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, although the time and place are not on Xi Qing's side, but someone is with you, and Xi Qing is now fighting for this breath.

Of course, it would be better if you could win some more benefits in the case of relieving your anger.

As soon as Xi Qing's words came out, there was a warm applause in the venue, which of these Chinese billionaires has not participated in three or five auctions? But this time, it was the one that made them feel the most refreshed.

"Apologize, ask them to apologize......"

"Yes, it has to be in writing, otherwise we'll all be out of this auction......"

"Let them admit their mistakes, face up to history, and make amends......"

After Xi Qing's words fell, some people immediately began to coax, and these people in their forties and fifties were also ignited by Xi Qing's words at this moment, and they expressed their opinions in English.

Dennis and Daniel looked at each other, they did not expect that Xi Qing's words provoked everyone to make a noise, at this time in their hearts, they couldn't wait to step forward and strangle Xi Qing, but now the most urgent thing is how to appease these angry Chinese.

Daniel couldn't communicate with Dennis in front of everyone, the two exchanged a look, Daniel said loudly: "Mr. Xi, gentlemen, ladies and friends, your request is reasonable, I want to discuss it with Mr. Chairman, please sit down first, and I can give you an answer soon......"

"No problem, please ...... you two"

Xi Qing made a gesture of please, at this time, he seemed to be the spokesperson of more than a hundred Chinese in this conference room, he did it smoothly, and others felt that it should be so.

After Daniel and Dennis left, Wu Lisa patted Xi Qing on the shoulder heavily, and said jokingly: "Brother, you sent these two away in a few words, I think if you take the lawyer's certificate......"

"Sister Lisa, you are laughing, today's matter, it really depends on you, little brother thank you here......"

Xi Qing stood up and bowed his hands to the people around him, the art circle pays attention to this, Xi Qing's behavior has also made some cautious people feel a lot more comfortable, but today he gave this kid a gun in vain.

"Where to speak, young people have momentum, those words are good, I think it is thanks to you today, otherwise we will be ......"

"Yes, today's young people, where do they still know these things, I'm afraid they haven't even heard the name of the Old Summer Palace......"

"But no, that kid in my family knows how to play cars and games, and he is in his 20s, and he has no ...... at all."

"Who isn't, my daughter knows how to buy luxury goods all day long, and she knows how to dress up when she is young......"

As soon as Xi Qing's words fell, there was a burst of discussion in the crowd, but these words were a bit outrageous, and Xi Qing almost laughed out loud when he heard it, the one who has a son in the family and the girl are just the same pair.

"Xiao Xi, I don't know what business you do in China?"

An old man in his sixties sitting next to Xi Qing suddenly asked.

"Xi Qing, this is Mr. Liu, who operates non-ferrous metals in China, and the scale of the company is very ......large," Wu Lisha on the side helped Xi Qing introduce it.

Xi Qing hurriedly stood up, and after saying hello, he said: "Mr. Liu, I do some small carving business, hehe, I can't compare with your predecessors, a small business is a ......."

"Hehe, a small business? Not necessarily, a small business can come to the auction in Paris? The afterlife is terrifying, it's really terrifying......"

Mr. Liu shook his head with a smile, and was a little dissatisfied with Xi Qing's words, which of these people sitting in the venue today does not have a net worth of hundreds of millions? has a net worth of less than 100 million, so there is no confidence to sit here at all.

"Yes, don't be modest, young man, you see we have worked hard all our lives, at this age, you are very young, and you are very young, and you are motivated, good, very good......"

In the eyes of these people in the field, Xi Qing was relatively strange and mysterious, and when this chat, a group of people from Hula came over and talked with Xi Qing as the center.

However, there are also some acquaintances who sit next to them and chat, and what happened this time is relatively rare, and it provides them with a lot of topics.

"Huh? I remember hearing someone say that in the past year, there has been a master of carving, he is still mixed in the art circle, he is a big star, that person is also called Xi Qing, Xiao Xi, this is you, right? ”

These Chinese tycoons in the venue also played carving, although they were not very interested in celebrities, but they heard about Xi Qing's name and immediately asked.

"Hehe, you've won the award, I'm not a big star, just a small person, a small role, and I've sung a few songs. ……”

Xi Qing nodded and agreed, these things are all on the surface, as long as you have the heart, you can find out, there is nothing to hide.

"Lao Li, what's going on? Let's talk about ......"

Most of the people in the audience didn't know about these things, so they immediately grabbed the person who had just spoken and asked.

After that person reported Xi Qing's record of how to become a big star this year, these people looked at Xi Qing again, and it became a little strange.

originally thought that Xi Qing was a small character, but after listening to the story, everyone knew that Xi Qing was a big star, and he was also very good at art, and he had also restored the paintings of the Forbidden City Museum, and his hundreds of millions of net worth were all earned by himself!

The richer this person is, the more he admires people who make more money than him, regardless of age, for a while, when someone talks to Xi Qing again, the word "teacher" is added to the title.

Of course, Xi Qing is also worthy of this title, don't look at the fact that these people in the venue have more money than him, but there are not many people who are really proficient in antiques.

Many of these people present wanted to pursue some elegant hobbies after their business became bigger, so they began to play collecting, and some people directly took antiques as investment.

In short, those who can really distinguish the authenticity of antiques by themselves, maybe three or five out of more than a hundred bosses are very good.

"By the way, Wu Lisha, I received a call from you before, and I have some opinions on this auction, and now the Chinese at home or abroad are here, you might as well talk about it here......

Ms. Wang suddenly said to Wu Lisa that she was also sad about the loss of domestic cultural relics, but with her current status, it was not good for her to make some remarks in public.

"Me? I didn't mention it, it was Xi Qing's meaning......"

After Wu Lisha was named by Wang Baozhen, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately pushed Xi Qing out, he also saw it, don't look at Xi Qing, who usually doesn't talk much, but when it comes to the ability to speak and incite people, he is really inferior to him.

"Huh? Xiao Xi, is it your opinion? Come, let's talk about it......"

Wang Baozhen can't be called Teacher Xi Qing, and Xi Qing can't afford it, others are heirlooms for three generations of collectors, and their own background is far behind.

"Okay, then I'll talk about ......"

Xi Qing was not hypocritical, let go of the hand that had been holding Tao Xiaoman, and stood up.

"Everyone, I'm a junior in terms of age, and when it comes to collecting, I haven't been playing for long, and I'm not qualified to speak here, since Ms. Wang has named me, I'll just say a few words......

Xi Qing's words made the people who were originally chatting turn their eyes and pay attention to Xi Qing's body.

"When I first started in the industry, I heard the most sentence, that is, the boutique of Chinese antiques, all of which are abroad, and the reason is that I don't need to say more, everyone knows it.

More than 100 years ago, the country was weak, and many of the objects left by our ancestors were lost abroad.

This is also the main reason why everyone can get together now, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, like Ms. Wang, Mr. Liu, I'm afraid they are all with such thoughts, to participate in this auction, right? ”

Xi Qing's words made Ms. Wang and Mr. Liu both nodded slightly, they saw that there were a few treasures in the auction catalog, so they rushed to Paris to participate in the auction, as Xi Qing said, they wanted to return the national treasure.

"Although I can barely accept it emotionally to buy back our country's antiques at a corresponding price, some foreign auction agencies, in concert with the owners, deliberately raise the market price of Chinese artworks.

Many bronzes and cultural relics that cannot be traded in China have been smuggled abroad by these international speculators, and then sold to everyone here at a high price.

Personally, I feel that this kind of behavior is plundering us economically after being invaded by force, although everyone present has a lot of money and may not care about the 10 million or 20 million, but this kind of behavior needs to be condemned!

In addition, I would like to make it clear that the objects we have auctioned at a high price abroad may not be worth so much money when we get them back to China......

Xi Qing's loud words caused everyone to ponder, they had thought about similar questions before, but no one had ever said it so clearly, pointing to the essence of the matter.

Needless to say, collectors such as Ms. Wang who really want to buy back the cultural relics lost abroad, even those businessmen and bosses who want to speculate and invest, have begun to weigh the pros and cons in their hearts.

"Xiao Xi, but if we don't bid, we won't be able to shoot these things......" Someone in the venue put forward an opinion. (To be continued.) )
