Chapter 156: Interesting
After Wang Tianyu and the others left the Huaxia Auction House, they returned to their villas, but they never gave the hope diamond to Wu Luoyi, nor did they mention the hope diamond again, but Wu Luoyi did not ask.
After tonight's auction, the reputation of Huaxia Auction House is rapidly spreading in Hong Kong, and is spreading to the whole world, Huaxia Auction House can come up with so many precious cultural relics and art collections to auction at once, which is obvious to all, at this moment Huaxia Auction House is completely famous.
In particular, the hope diamond appeared in the Huaxia auction house, which exceeded everyone's expectations, if the Huaxia auction house can release the news of the auction of the hope diamond in advance, it will definitely attract more auctioneers. But even so, Huaxia Auction House has attracted the attention of enough people, and this matter must not be hidden, maybe soon, the name of Huaxia Auction House will resound all over the world.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the U.S. government to get the news, the U.S. government immediately lodged a serious protest to the Huaxia government and the Huaxia auction house that auctioned the hope diamond, and also made a public statement, hoping that Wang Tianyu could return the hope diamond, of course, the U.S. government will give Wang Tianyu an appropriate subsidy, but it is only 200 million US dollars, and the US government will naturally not come up with 2 billion US dollars to get the diamond back, and the 200 million US dollars will still be given for Wang Tianyu's sake. Millions will be sent away.
Of course, Wang Tianyu did not take the statement issued by the US government to heart, and all this he arranged was to legally obtain this hope diamond, so how could he easily send this hope diamond back?
What's even more interesting is that when Zhao Kedian protested and condemned what the U.S. government had done to him and his Huaxia auction house, he actually went up with the U.S. government openly and said to the U.S. government: "The hope diamond is not mine, but the guests are pinning their trust on my auction house, so why don't I do it if I have business?" ”
When the U.S. government asked Zhao Kedian to provide information about the customer who auctioned the Hope Diamond, Zhao Kedian replied forcefully again: "The customer chooses to auction at my auction house, that is their trust in me, and I will never provide any information about the customer." ”
And the U.S. government doesn't have any evidence, so naturally there is no way to take Zhao Kedian, there is a precedent for this kind of thing before. Like Sotheby's, the world's most famous auction house, at the auction in Paris, four countries in Latin America - Peru, Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica - were harshly criticized, accusing Sotheby's of auctioning off illegally exported art. But Sotheby's ignored protests from Peru, Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica and continued to sell these controversial pre-Columbian artifacts.
However, after Wang Tianyu listened to the call between Zhao Kedian and the US government, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Interesting!" ”
However, what Zhao Kedian didn't know was that it was precisely because of his performance this time that he saved him once, and it also gave him an infinitely brilliant future.
At the beginning, the reason why Wang Tianyu chose Zhao Kedian to set up Huaxia Auction House was because he was a native of Hong Kong, and he didn't know Wang Tianyu, so he couldn't have anything to do with it at all, so he naturally wouldn't arouse the suspicion of others; Second, Wang Tianyu has always regarded Zhao Kedian as a chess piece, and it is a chess piece that is about to be sacrificed, Wang Tianyu originally planned to let Zhao Kedian die in an accident after the turmoil in this auction subsided, which is also why Wang Tianyu found an outsider to do such an important thing, and he would not feel anything when outsiders sacrificed.
However, because of Zhao Kedian's performance this time, Wang Tianyu suddenly changed his attention, as long as Zhao Kedian does not affect his overall situation, Wang Tianyu is not unable to keep him, and maybe he can have unexpected gains at critical moments.
Of course, this is just one thing that Wang Tianyu finds interesting, but that night, another interesting thing happened.
It is said that Li Huiming spent more than 200 million US dollars to buy a broken story, and he was naturally very unwilling in his heart, but he had no choice but to take Wang Tianyu very depressed, so he could only take a few young people from the Liu family to drink together, and after drinking in a daze, he opened a room with a beautiful woman in a luxurious hotel.
However, when Li Huiming was woken up, he found that the room was full of uniformed policemen, and there was a naked woman sitting on his bed, crying constantly. In this way, Li Huiming was taken into the police station without explanation, and was also accused**. Li Huiming finally woke up from drinking, and he completely understood that he had been cheated, but this kind of thing has always been justified and unexplained.
Fortunately, Li Huiming is relatively familiar with the relationship between the Liu family, and there is naturally no problem with the Liu family's status in Hong Kong to bail Li Huiming, but he can't leave Hong Kong. Li Huiming thought that the woman was just asking for money, so he asked the Liu family to help him get it, with the strength of the Liu family in Hong Kong, this little thing should be fine. Li Huiming was tossed and choked like this, and when he returned to his residence, it was already the middle of the night, but when he was lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and he always felt that something was wrong, and finally he found that the painting he bought was actually gone. That painting cost him $200 million, which was almost all his personal belongings, so how could he not be angry when he lost it like this?
However, just when Li Huiming just wanted to call the police, those policemen actually came to the door again and brought him into the police station again, on the grounds of murder, and at this moment he knew that the woman who was going to sue him was killed, which made him can't help but be shocked, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that the people of the Liu family didn't talk to the woman, so they killed the woman? It is very likely, because no one in Hong Kong knows what the Liu family started on, and this kind of thing has not been done before, even the Hong Kong police know the bottom of the Liu family very well.
Of course, this time Li Huiming has a companion, that is, the person from the Liu family who did this for Li Huiming, called Liu Sanjin, which makes Li Huiming even more suspicious that the people of the Liu family killed the woman, and whether they also confessed themselves, otherwise how could the police find him?
"Liu Sanjin, did you kill that woman?" A police officer asked Liu Sanjin.
"Officer, I didn't do this, I don't know that woman at all, why should I kill him?" Liu Sanjin said very calmly, and at the same time felt a little helpless in his heart, although even if every time he did something illegal, he would tell the police that I didn't do it. But this time it was really not Liu Sanjin who did it, but he didn't know who did it, so he could only curse secretly in his heart: "If you let me know which bastard dares to frame Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill him alive." ”
"Look what this is!" Then the police threw a large stack of photos in front of Liu Sanjin, those photos are naturally the photos of Liu Sanjin and the woman meeting, Liu Sanjin can be said to be an old customer of their police station, he naturally knows Liu Sanjin's bottom, but he has not arrested him because of insufficient evidence.
"You just met with someone, and you said so quickly that you don't know anyone, and there are witnesses who saw you and this woman had a quarrel, and after you left after the argument, this woman was killed, is it such a coincidence?" Then the police said to Liu Sanjin.
After Li Huiming, who was on the side, heard this, he even believed in his heart that the person should have been killed by Liu Sanjin, but at this moment he hoped that Liu Sanjin would resist all the responsibilities alone, and not implicate him, otherwise he would be miserable.
"Officer, is there any evidence that I killed the person, if there is, you can sue me directly, if not, don't bother me." Liu Sanjin didn't continue to argue with the policeman, he had been dealing with the police for so long, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.
Sure enough, soon, Liu Sanjin's lawyer took Liu Sanjin and Li Huiming out of the police station, after all, the Hong Kong police did not have enough evidence to prove that Liu Sanjin killed them.
After getting into the car, Li Huiming asked Liu Sanjin a little angrily, "Why do you want to do this?" You know how much trouble this can get me. ”
Liu Sanjin listened to Li Huiming's accusations, and in addition, he had just carried the black pot to others, and he was in a bad mood, so he said loudly to Li Huiming: "I said, I didn't do it." ”
Both of them are young and vigorous, and they are both angry, so they naturally had an impulsive quarrel, and in the end the two broke up unhappily, and Li Huiming got out of Liu Sanjin's car.
Not long after Liu Sanjin left, Li Huiming was beaten up by a group of thugs, beaten all over his body, and at the same time stripped him naked and took a lot of commemorative photos.
Li Huiming's photos quickly spread on the Internet, and under the operation of some people, Li Huiming quickly became popular on the Internet. And when his grandfather saw those photos on the Internet, he called Li Huiming back as soon as possible, Li Huiming was embarrassed this time, and he naturally couldn't continue to stay in Hong Kong, so he had to leave Hong Kong overnight.
When Wang Tianyu read these news, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of evil smile, he didn't have the slightest sympathy for Li Huiming's tragedy, but he was a little gloating, but soon he fell into deep thought, who was behind Li Huiming? And it is also one ring after another, and Li Huiming is so ruthless. Wang Tianyu knows that the people behind this are not simple.
