Chapter 553: Christie's Auction House!
The old man snorted coldly when he heard this, and said coldly: "It was premeditated, and his heart can be punished!" ”
Lin Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Grandpa, isn't all this expected?" It's not worth being angry about. ”[
Lin Yu naturally knows that these ugly places of the red sè family in the capital, each family has its own power, some families run very well, and the efficiency of the factory is also good, and some families only know how to collect money in their arms, and then make the efficiency of the factory worse and worse, and finally have to turn to the state, the state has to take out a lot of money to subsidize the workers, so the cycle continues, the workers do not make money, the state does not make money, and the money is secretly operated by the person in charge of the factory.
Now, the central government is going to conduct a thorough investigation, Lin Yu never thought that these people would bow down and be arrested, sit still and wait to be killed, and they will definitely resist stubbornly, and for this reason, it is natural that all kinds of tricks and tricks emerge one after another.
"So what's next?" The old man asked quietly.
Lin Yu said with a smile: "Grandpa, there is a word about politics in China called 'moderation', I think it is appropriate, since this word is appropriate, then we might as well be appropriate again." is still the same sentence, unmoved, grasp the big and let go of the small, kill the chicken and make an example. Although the change of term is important, if you don't start to rectify a batch now, then it will be difficult to do it after the change. ”
The old man frowned, how could he not know such a thing, but now it is the period of the change of office, and the hostile forces at home and abroad are watching with their eyes wide open, and if such a big thing happens now, there may be chaos in the country.
Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Lin Yu knew that the old man was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Grandpa, let Qianjing's father come to Europe for a trip." ”
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed softly, he knew. Lin Yu had already seen the mystery of this matter, and it really impressed the old man.
To know. The old man who was about to die also thought twice before he saw some strange things, but he didn't expect that Xiaoyu was so young that he actually had such vision and insight, and I am afraid that even many old bureaucrats who have been in the career for many years may not be able to have such an awareness. Even if you don't think about it carefully enough, just give him a little more time, and it will be enough.
And no matter how these people jumped, now the rope was pinched in the old man's hand. You can tighten it whenever you want.
"You, don't forget your father-in-law at any time......" The old man smiled, and then continued: "Well, the central government will consider this matter as soon as possible." ”
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Grandpa, if I don't help my father-in-law, your granddaughter-in-law won't let me go home." ”
This made the old man burst into laughter. Secretary Song outside the door only wondered. What did Lin Yu talk about with the old man to make the old man so happy?
……
Just when many things were in full swing, the old man in Beijing dragged his sick body to the old man's residence in Xishan. Among these people are many veteran generals who have not gone out for many years.
The old man talked to these old men for a long time, but the specific content of the conversation was not known to anyone except those present.
Even Secretary Song only served a cup of hot tea to the old men, then retreated and gently closed the door.
There is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, not to mention that these old men came together. There must be something very important, beyond the reach of a small secretary like him.
In addition, at this time, Liu Jinnan, secretary of the Beijing Municipal CPC Committee of Huaxia, was invited by six European countries to pay a 10-day visit to Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Italy.
This visit was very sudden, and it was a sudden invitation from six European countries, and many people in China did not know the specific situation.
During this ten-day visit. The six European countries have reached a number of agreements with Liu Jinnan, including investment in the city of Beijing, and bet on investment in other parts of China, such as Hainan, Guangdong, and Fujian.
Other than that. During his first visit to Britain and his last visit to Italy, Liu Jinnan had secret conversations with the British and Italian government officials. The content of the conversation was known only to a few bigwigs in China, and only then did the people in China know the purpose of the visit.
A month has passed, and the personnel involved in the five large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, including the Changjiang Motorcycle Group Company, have all been sentenced to 10 years to life imprisonment, a ministerial-level official in the capital has taken the blame and resigned, and two deputy ministerial-level and five department-level cadres have been dismissed.
Immediately afterwards, the distribution of work at the highest level of the central government was also fine-tuned, and some heavyweight ministries and commissions made small-scale personnel adjustments.
There is no doubt that in this violent collision, both the old man and the royal family have achieved fruitful results, and many families have been hit in this fine-tuning, as for the size of the blow, it depends on the degree of compromise.
But even so, it is a surprise, which has never been seen and unimaginable before.
On March 2, 1988, the major auction held by Christie's in Paris, one of the most famous auction houses in the world, was held as scheduled, and this time Italy was selected.
Christie's, 1766 by James ? Christie's (JamesCh
Founded in London, ISTIE is the oldest art auction house in the world. On December 5, 1766, James? Christie's conducted his first auction in London; Since then, Christie's has been committed to providing quality and excellent service to its customers. James, who has a steady, eloquent voice and a great sense of humor? Christie's evolved the auction into a fine art and conducted several very important auctions between the 18th and 19th centuries.
During the First World War, Christie's held a series of seven charity auctions for the Red Cross, raising a total of more than £400,000.
1926 British painter Romney (1734-1802) Davin
Portrait of Lady Ō sold for £60,900, making it the most expensive piece of art between the two world wars. It is also worth mentioning that 78 paintings from the Howford Collection in 1928 were sold off in one morning for a total of 364994 pounds.
At the beginning of the Second World War, people were in a state of panic, and art auctions turned to a low ebb, and the "British Bombing" in London in 1941 caused great damage to Christie's premises. Later, the office was moved to the east and west, and it was not until 1953 that the new building at No. 8 King Street was built, and it was moved back to the original place and settled down.
As the economy recovered after the war, the money returned to the pockets of the tycoons, and the art trade began to flourish, with a copy of Rembrandt's Portrait of Tides by the Dutch painter Rembrandt selling for £798,000 in 1956. Even more unusual in 1970 was the Spanish painter Velázquez (1599-1660) whose Juan? Morality? Statue of Palega sold for £2.31 million, making it the first artwork to break a record of £1 million at auction.
From 1968 onwards, Christie's set its sights on expanding abroad, opening its first foreign office in Geneva in the same year, specializing in jewelry. In 1977, an office was opened in New York, USA, and an auction was held, which was a great success, and in 1979 a new office was opened in New York, called "Christie's East". It is worth mentioning that in 1973 Christie's became a joint-stock company invested by the public, and its shares were listed on the London Stock Exchange, which greatly strengthened the company's vitality.
In the 80s of the 20th century, Christie's was the era of Christie's big hair, and in 1980, the works of Impressionist painters in the Ford Collection in New York were sold for 6 million pounds. In 1984, 71 works by great European painters from the 18th century in the Cartsworth collection were auctioned for a total of £20 million, including a work by Raphael for £3.5 million. In the same year, an auction at Elveden Hall in Siffolk also sold for £6.2 million.
In 1985, the early Italian Renaissance painter Mantania (1431-1506) painted "The Coming of the Doctor" became the most expensive work ever sold by a pre-18th-century European painter, at £8.1 million. Impressionist painting was not far behind, and in 1986 one of Manet's "Mosner Paises" was sold. £7.7 million, the highest record for an Impressionist work.
Good things are yet to come. 1987 was a great year for Christie's. Every? Gao's "Sunflowers" hit an all-time high of £24.75 million. Another one? Gao's "Chinkhtaylor Bridge" sold for £12.65 million. A Degas painting is £7.48 million. In addition, a copy of Gutenberg's Bible sold for £3.26 million; A heavy carat Falaulet diamond sold for £3.84 million; A Bugeti Louis sedan sold for £5.5 million. In 1988, Van? The works of Gao, Picasso and others have achieved good results at auction. Gao's "Portrait of Lavox" sold for $13.75 million (£7.33 million), while Picasso's "The Young Joker with Acrobatics" sold for £2.09 million.
However, this auction is somewhat intriguing.
At least these rich people are potential customers for the auction, and I am afraid that there are not so many rich people gathered in France in normal times.
"Mr. Lin Yu, come, here!"
Outside the auction venue, Jerry waved his hand to Lin Yu from afar, Lin Yu had already said last time that he was very curious about the auction and hoped to have a chance to come and take a look. has grown so big, Lin Yu has never participated in a formal auction in his two lives.
"Hello Jerry!" Lin Yu walked over with a smile, and Elena, who came to participate in the auction together, also followed.
