Chapter 475: Righteous Words Reprimand the French
Ms. Wang laughed when she heard this, and then said, "Then this must be Mr. Han Chong, right?" Some time ago, I always heard people mention your name, I haven't seen it, I didn't expect to see it here, yes, very good, what I said just now is very good......"
"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......"
Han Chong didn't know the person in front of him, but judging by his demeanor, he should also be a figure with a head and a face, and seeing that he was not young, he hurriedly said a few words modestly.
However, Han Chong still had a lot of selfish intentions in buying this painting, but he didn't want to be thought that he was too scheming, so he had to make a look of righteous indignation.
"Well, young man, you can be worthy of the daughter of the Bi family......"
The lady looked at Han Chong and smiled, turning her head back.
"Bi Yue, who is this?"
Seeing that the lady turned around her, Han Chong asked in a whisper in Bi Yue's ear.
"She's not small......
Bi Yue put her small mouth to Han Chong'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, the chairman of the Bank Investment Co., Ltd., and the 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, remembering, 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. Then he generously donated to the Shanghai Museum. β
Han Chong knew 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.
The pastel ware of the Yongzheng official kiln is mostly painted with bat peach patterns for large and small plates. It is extremely rare to see in olive bottles, and the olive bottle with a pastel manta pattern is currently the only one in the world, so it can be called a peerless vase.
That lot also created the highest price for Chinese art in the international market for a while, and Han Chong probably remembered that this person's name was Wang Baozhen.
For such a character, even the current Han Chong has a feeling of being uplifted, whether in terms of money or status. The gap between Han Chong and him is still very large.
"Can you ask her to donate or put some objects in your museum?"
Han Chong suddenly had such a thought in his 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 of difference, Han Chong can't help but hit the other party's head.
Since he wants to open a private museum, Han Chong wants to make it the most influential private museum in China, but it is obviously impossible to rely on his own objects.
Han Chong has long had the idea of integrating some private collectors' collections. However, the specific operation is more complicated, and Han Chong is only in the conceptual stage now. However, after meeting Wang Baozhen, the thoughts in his mind gradually took shape.
Han Chong 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 the exhibition will be held for one or two years. Return the item to its original owner and pay a fee.
Of course, if the other party's collection is far larger than his own exhibition collection, Han Chong doesn't mind giving most of the museum's income to the other party, but the shares are forgotten. When it comes to the ownership of the museum's collections, it is difficult to allocate shares.
As for whether the museum can make money, Han Chong 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......"
While Han Chong was there bowing his head and pondering, the shooting had already continued, and a middle-aged man walked up to Han Chong's side and interrupted his train of thought.
"You are?"
Han Chong frowned slightly, he had just come up with a little bit about the future development of the museum, but he was interrupted, and he was very uncomfortable.
"My name is Kate, I am a lawyer at XX Auction in Paris, and I have been entrusted by the organizing committee of this auction to warn Mr. Han that you should not post political tendencies and untrue remarks about political tendencies 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, Han Chong'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 Kate's words completely angered Han Chong.
Han Chong asked himself if he was not an angry young man, and when he needed to choose between national interests and private interests, Han Chong might 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 Han Chong can bear.
"I'm sorry, I think, if I violate the laws of your country, you can sue me, if not, I will think that your words are a threat to me, I don't know that a well-known multinational filming company would do such a thing to ......"
Han Chong stood up violently, his voice was so loud that it almost drowned out Maxon's words in the microphone in front of him, and it was clearly heard in this lapping hall where more than 200 people could sit.
"Oh...... No, Mr. Han, 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 it. This young man's personality was so violent that he actually shouted on the spot, and this matter was a little out of his control.
"You've made it clear......"
Han Chong coldly threw down a sentence, then strode to the front desk and said, "Mr. Pat, don't you mind if I say a few words?" β
Han Chong didn't care if Maxon minded or not. Directly took the microphone on the stage 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......"
"Shit! What did Kate do? β
In a room on the second floor of the Pai Mai Hall, a middle-aged man with gray hair and about fifty years of age was present. Slammed 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 antique association in Jiangcheng, and there is a huge business, involving jewelry. Antiques, mining. His influence in China is so great that if we do so, it will cause international disputes...... Also, his fiancΓ©e is an ore miner... Very powerful. β
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 Han Chong's own information, but even Han Chong's family relationship and his circle of interests are actually listed, which shows that the background of this mai shop is not simple.
"Shit, Michaelson is an idiot, why would you want to warn that young man. Wouldn't it be over if he bought that painting?! β
After seeing Han Chong's family relationship, Dennis sat back on the sofa with a heavy body, they also have branches in China, so they naturally know what kind of background the family relationship on this fax paper represents.
Don't look at their power in all developed countries in the world, but if you lend them another guts, you don't dare to be rude to Han.
So Dennis could only vent his anger on Mixon's head, after all, it was Michelson who asked the lawyer to warn Han Chong just now, and Dennis also felt that it should be at the time, after all, Han Chong's sideways behavior caused their interests to suffer.
Now, of course, Dennis doesn't think so.
β¦β¦ Han Chong's sudden outburst not only overwhelmed the auction meeting, but also the many buyers who participated in the auction meeting, and they didn't know what was going on, and looked at Han Chong standing in front blankly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, a lawyer who claimed to be the man of this mai shop warned me that I was saying something untrue, and that he meant that the painting I had just photographed 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?! β
Han Chong 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 that they didn't dare to face their past history, which made me feel very disappointed. β
"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? Wouldn't I be allowed to explain what I was doing with the looted cultural relics from China?
Of course, there are still many friendly people in France who can face up to history, 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 mai business.
If that's the case, I don't think there's any need for you to warn me, I can quit this shoot myself, and at the same time, I hope that all Chinese with a conscience can also make such a choice, thank you, for delaying your time......"
After Han Chong said this, he bowed deeply to the audience, and then strode towards the door, Bi Yue and Wen Wan also stood up and walked to Han Chong's side.
"Smack...... Bang bang ......"
Starting with Ms. Wang, the applause slowly rang out, and behind Han Chong, people kept leaving their seats and joining in.
More than 100 Chinese collectors from all over the world were invited to the MAI auction held by this auction house in Paris, and the total number of people participating in the auction was less than 200.
It can be said that if all the Chinese in the venue leave, then this MAI will end without a hitch.
No matter how much the Chinese like infighting and how disunited they usually are, after Han Chong's words, they all stood up, followed behind Han Chong, and protested against the Shooting Mai Organizing 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, there are only a few tens of meters from the shooting platform to the door, and behind Han Chong, who is walking in 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 ......"
At this time, Han Chong, who was walking at the front of the crowd, was blocked by a group of reporters, and countless flashing lights flashed in front of him, which made Han Chong a little irritable, and the buddy was angry, why did he attract so much attention?
"Sir, I'm a reporter for The Times of London, may I give you an interview?"
"Hey, buddy, that's good, leave a contact number, I'll get back to you for an interview......"
"Hello sir, I'm a reporter from CNN, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Hello, I'm a reporter from the French evening newspaper, can I ask you a few questions about what you just said?"
For a while, countless microphone recorders were handed to Han Chong's mouth, and some reporters who were far away even climbed onto the backs of their counterparts in front of them, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Thank you! (To be continued......)
