Chapter 673 [Secret Talk]
This welcome dinner was a success, the table was placed with delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the surrounding arrangements were both warm and not to say, it can be said that John's butler Nick Young, in less than 4 hours, arranged such a welcome dinner was a success.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to the living room to drink tea, coffee and fruit, and after nine o'clock, Yang Nianzhong and John got up and sent Paul George back to the room and rested.
As for the messy kitchen and living room, of course, the housekeepers and servants that John spent a lot of money to solve the problem, and the second brother early in the morning, Yang Nianzhong, Paul George, and John made an appointment to go to John's manor for a run.
After running around John's manor for more than a dozen laps, the three big men returned to their respective rooms with a smile and a smile, took a shower and changed clothes, and then had a hearty breakfast.
After breakfast, I put my mother Anne on the bus to the tour, and then returned to the back garden, where the three men sat together drinking tea and smoking, and then Paul Bridge looked at the two brothers and said.
"David John, I had a phone call with Sotheby's European President Colberry last night, who had already led a team from the headquarters to Paris."
"This time, the headquarters appointed our two regional presidents to cooperate with each other, but for the first time in my career, in order to earn more wealth for your two clients, and for our Sotheby's auction house to earn more profits, I suggest that we communicate with the three parties well."
In this regard, Yang Nianzhong raised his hands and feet in agreement, and said with a smile. "That's really good, with the help of the two regional presidents of your Sotheby's auction house, the Yang family's harvest will definitely be very huge in this special auction."
John chimed in. "In that case, let's not be idle, the soldiers are divided into two ways, David and I are at home and are well arranged to prepare for the visit of President Cole."
Paul George shook his head and pointed to his nose and said. "Now it's my turn, don't worry, I'll be sure to bring Colbelian safely to Mr. John's estate."
After chatting about this, John contributed his own driver, and asked the driver to take Paul George in his own car to visit the Sotheby's auction house, the residence of the president of Europe, Colberry.
Seeing the car slowly driving out of his manor, John said to Yang Jianzhong on the side. "David, you sit at home, I'll take Nick's butler and servants to prepare for tonight's banquet."
Yang Nianzhong saw that John was so sensible, nodded with satisfaction, pulled John aside, and said in a low voice. "John's eating and drinking this time is secondary, the main thing is the negotiation in the evening."
John looked at Yang Nianzhong and nodded, and said seriously. "I understand, but the first time people come to our house as guests, they have to experience the enthusiasm of our brothers, don't they?"
Yang Nianzhong nodded with a smile, let John look at it himself, and after John left, Yang Nianzhong had a rare free time, went to John's study, found a French history book that he could understand, and asked the servant to prepare a pot of tea for himself.
Ran to the back garden and lay under the umbrella reading a book and drinking tea, when you are tired, it is not bad to eat some dried fruit and pulp, tomorrow at noon, John took the housekeeper with a large bag and started to move things from the car.
At 2:00 p.m., Paul George called, and 10 minutes later, the door opened, and Yang Nianzhong and John, wearing crisp suits, stood at the door to greet the two presidents of Sophie Auction House in Asia and Europe.
Colberry, the president of Europe, is much older than Paul George, and his relationship with Sotheby's is much tougher than that of Paul George, otherwise he would not be able to stand in the position of president of Europe.
Although the area of Europe is not small, but don't forget that the headquarters of Sotheby's auction house is in London, England, how far away from the European continent is, right under your nose, to be able to serve as the president of Europe under the nose of the headquarters, do you say Colberry is too simple.
The other party was a very thin and tall man, with a pair of black-framed glasses, blonde hair, and a neat suit, but after getting out of the car, he looked slightly hunchbacked, with long hands and feet, and looked like a hunchbacked ape.
It is impossible for Yang Nianzhong to judge people by their appearance, not to mention the status of the people, so he hurriedly brought the two John brothers to meet him, and Paul George personally introduced the two parties, and then quickly shook hands and leaned on each other, talking and laughing side by side to the living room.
After a cup of coffee, John, the host, took Colberry Paul George and Yang Nianzhong to visit his manor, and then came to the underground cellar to the boutique area, and let the two guests choose the left wine tonight.
After the visit, the wine was also selected, the manor held a grand welcome dinner, and after the Yang family accompanied everyone to eat, a few family members came to John's study for a short time, Nick Yang housekeeper personally walked in with coffee and tea snacks, poured a farewell for everyone, and closed the door of the study tightly.
After a cup of tea and a cup of coffee, Colberry took the lead in looking at Yang Nianzhong and John and said. "Mr. Yang, Mr. John, the information you two passed on to the headquarters of our Sotheby's auction house has been studied in detail, and it is a rare boutique."
"This time, Paul and I have teamed up to mobilize the top rich people from all over Asia and Europe to participate in this special auction organized by the Yang family, which will be a grand auction event."
For the ability of Sotheby's auction house, the Year of the Sheep is still very positive, can fight with Harvest's auction house for so long, in the whole world, has such a great influence, tens of billions of dollars a year, is the flow of funds just talking? The customers in hand are among the best in the world.
Yang Nianzhong and John immediately saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but Yang Nianzhong is not easy to fool, looking at Colberry and asked with a smile. "President Cole, can you talk about the plan made by Sotheby's?"
Colberry smiled slightly when he saw Yang Nianzhong asking, opened the briefcase beside him, took out a red folder from it, and looked at Yang Nianzhong after opening it.
"David, we're already friends, just call me Cole, my friends call me that."
"This special auction, Subi Auction House is a very important task, and has made a detailed plan, this is the plan, please take a look."
As he spoke, he gave everyone a document, and everyone listened to Colberry's introduction as they read it. "The people invited to participate in this special auction are the world's richest people, the number of people is not too large, about 20 people, and the time of the auction is set for a week."
Yang Nianzhong frowned and looked at Colberry, who was sitting on the opposite side of the sofa, and asked in a low voice. "Is Cole a week a little too long?"
Colberry looked at Yang Nianzhong, shook his head and said helplessly. "I also feel that the time is too long, but the time of David's top rich people is very tight, and only by giving them a week's notice can they arrange their schedules and work in advance and squeeze out some time to participate in this special auction."
