Chapter 1055: Fooled

(Thanks to my friends fifty-one stones, sheep breeds, violet ~ Qianqian, and Han Duo Demon for their encouragement)

Gangotina and Briggs didn't stay here for long, and the auction the day after tomorrow had to be prepared.

After negotiating with Liu Yunxuan, these truffles will be transported from the ranch the day after tomorrow. Because it was fresh, they were afraid that there would be problems when storing it.

"It seems that Briggs is quite interesting, and Sotheby's is also very good, so many commissions are given to us, which is also a lot of money." After waiting for the two to leave, Liu Yunxuan said happily.

"Well, Andy, to use your usual saying, you've been fooled by them this time." Robert looked at Liu Yunxuan and shook his head, and said very regretfully.

"What? No way? Isn't this our advantage? Liu Yunxuan asked curiously.

"Andy, let's just say that you don't know much about these things. But it's not like being fooled, it's just that it's normal for them to give you such a favor. Kroenke on the side patted Liu Yunxuan's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Tell me what's going on." This time, Liu Yunxuan was not calm, it seemed that he didn't take advantage of it this time.

"Actually, it's quite complicated to say, so I'll tell you a little bit." Kroenke nodded and said.

"Sotheby's and Christie's, as the two largest luxury auction houses today, have always been in a state of competition, and everyone wants to be the top auction house. In order to expand their performance, they have also made a lot of adjustments. ”

"In fact, this Gangotina has not been working at Sotheby's for a long time, and it is only because of the recent adjustment of Sotheby's strategic goals."

"In the last year Dan? After Loeb took a 9.3% stake in Sotheby's, he sent an open letter to Sotheby's shareholders, the main content of which was to criticize Sotheby's for being much inferior to Christie's in certain auction areas, and even to demand the removal of their CEO. ”

"It was very impactful, and Sotheby's chief auctioneer left. It seems that because of Loeb's public condemnation, because with Loeb's letter, Sotheby's has also made corresponding adjustments and reduced the bonuses of employees. ”

Liu Yunxuan nodded in understanding. However, this also reminded me that now the bonus on my company's side is very considerable. It seems that we will have to pay attention to it in the future.

"Now Sotheby's has also made changes in its business, and now they are more focused on building their brand in the two areas of high-end wine and high-end diamond retail. At the same time, there is an increased emphasis on low-value lots and the Asian market. Kroenke continued.

"Now your wines have a good reputation and have won several awards in succession. But if you want to drink, you can only buy it at the restaurant, and they can be considered to have prepared it in advance. ”

"Hey, it seems that I still have to pay more attention to all aspects of the news in the future, this time I was given a normal discount, and I was really fooled." After hearing this, Liu Yunxuan shook his head and said helplessly.

"Yes, but it's still too late, after all, there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. When the time comes, you can ask them for some discounts, and besides, don't you plan to buy some art in the future, and give you some discounts in terms of commissions. Robert also nodded.

Just now he squeezed Liu Yunxuan's eyes just to remind him, who knew that the old gentleman didn't think about it, so he agreed directly, and he looked very happy.

Liu Yunxuan's castle is the size of Liu Yunxuan, and the amount of money it needs to spend to decorate it will also be an astronomical amount, and the commission will be a few points less. It may be tens of millions of dollars involved.

"Hehe, today is mainly the result of Briggs' great help. Who knew that this old boy was just here to help fool around. Liu Yunxuan scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"The main reason is that Sotheby's has adjusted a lot this time, and he may also want to take this opportunity to occupy more say in the group." Kroenke said with a smile.

Loeb's open letter to shareholders he doesn't believe is just an investor, and it's a power struggle.

Because during this time, the chairman and CEO of Sotheby's have communicated with Loeb, but there has been no agreement. To say that Loeb has nothing else in mind is a lie.

"Actually, I don't think it's anything, as long as our handmade red wines can be made in the future, it's very easy to make some profits from them." The fat man said from the side.

Anyway, that's all for the future, and at least the income of these white truffles can be increased a lot. That's a real benefit.

"I've decided, wait for the scene over there to work, we'll turn it on immediately, I can't stay with you any longer, I think my head is a little insufficient." Wu Yusen said helplessly.

These people play too high-end, so that it is a little difficult for Comrade Wu, who can only make movies, to understand. More importantly, he feels that doing business is too tiring, and it is far less chic and comfortable than making movies.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, we also have a relationship with Toho Co., Ltd., and there is no need to worry about the release of the film in Japan in the future." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.

During this time, Lao Wu has been playing on the island with the crew, and he hasn't had time to tell him about Hojo Akira. Now suing him is also reassuring him, and the three main screening areas in Asia are also no problem.

"Andy, you've got the news too, right? The Japanese side may take action against your beef cattle. Kroenke asked after a little small talk.

"I've already received the news, and I even have a grudge against some forces of Kobe cattle, waiting for my cattle to be pushed out, and the new and old accounts will be settled with them." Liu Yunxuan nodded and said.

Jonathan's research on the cattle provided by Liu Yunxuan can be regarded as having achieved certain results, and he has some context for their genetic composition.

Now the ranch is looking for cows, and they will be artificially inseminated to see which specific cattle are suitable for the promotion of new breeds of beef cattle.

Liu Yunxuan is very confident, and he also gave Jonathan a direct authorization to them. If you want to do it, let's try to figure it out at one time, and we need to select more cows, so that the number of jΓΉ collected in the future will be more accurate. When we wait for the second generation to be cultivated next year, it is time to settle this account with them.

"It's good if you're prepared, but we'll have to keep up with the beef supply in the future." Kroenke said with a smile.

At present, the sales of pastoral beef in Wal-Mart are still very good, but the output is less. If a new breed of beef cattle is really launched in the future, Liu Yunxuan's meaning will still far exceed that of Wagyu beef, and he is worried that the supply will be even smaller.

"You can rest assured, if a new breed of beef cattle is launched, I will speed up the promotion and occupy the entire high-end market in one fell swoop." Liu Yunxuan said reassuringly.

After laying out for so long, he has to see some results, and he doesn't have so much time to follow Ono Masao and those meat products companies to ink, and strive to complete the battle.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, I have to see our water girl, it's a big hero." Liu Yunxuan stretched and said.

The morning came early, and then I picked truffles, and then I was fooled again, and then I was completely idle. The water girl helps to make a lot of money, and next year, how much can be squeezed out of Masao Ono, so it should be charged interest in advance.

"During this time, you need to supplement the water girl's nutrition, and before the Kentucky derby starts, you also need to participate in a lot of competitions, and the jackpot will be eligible for invitation." Kroenke instructed as he made his way to the stables.

"We have also considered this, and we will not participate in the rest of the messy competitions, and we will all work hard for next year's treble." Liu Yunxuan nodded and said.

This is still a wake-up call from Luis, he still thinks that the first Kentucky derby game is similar to the Breeders' Cup, so he will think that the water girl will not participate in all the games, and prepare for the triple crown race in a low-key manner.

But that's not the case at all. As the first race of the treble, the Kentucky Derby, people can see that your jackpot is the amount of your jackpot.

The Kentucky Derby accepts a maximum of twenty horses, and how you choose depends on your jackpot, even if you have a good performance, you are ranked twenty-one, sorry, people don't take you to play.

After coming to the stable, I didn't expect Fangfang and the others to ride a big wild boar to visit the water girl here.

The children also know that the water girl is very powerful, and she won two championships at once, but they watched it from the scene. I was very impressed, and there were many people cheering for the water girl at that time.

However, what made Fangfang and them a little incomprehensible was that there were also many people cursing the water girl outside, which made Fangfang and them very angry. If it weren't for the adults, maybe the little ones would have formed a group to question them.

This is also an interesting matter, and I also told Liu Yunxuan when I came back. Because those people are not really rooting for a particular horse, but because they bet on the horse and lose.

"Lucy, how's the water girl doing? Last time, I ran two races in a row, so it was a big burden on it, right? Liu Yunxuan asked Lucy.

"It's okay, the water girl's recovery ability is very strong, otherwise it will be very difficult to participate in the competition for the triple crown in the future." Lucy said with a sweet smile.

In fact, this is also thanks to the fact that in order to win money, the water girl collected some strength in the first game, otherwise I am afraid that the second game will be really dangerous if I run with all my might.

"Haha, alright, alright, play hard, and the future arena will belong to you and your brothers and sisters." Liu Yunxuan said as he stroked the big head of the water girl who was stretched into his arms.

"Actually, I'm really looking forward to the first batch of Flames kids playing together." Kroenke said with a smile.

At that time, the water girl was a real famous horse, and when the horses were introduced to the same father, that scene must have been very interesting. (To be continued......)
