"Mr. Du, you finally answered the phone."

William Chen said in a mocking tone, obviously, he knew that Du Yongxiao was deliberately drying himself.

"Of course Boss Chen's phone is going to be answered, how about it, I sent those faxes?"

"Very good, but I'm more curious, where did you get those treasures?" After Chen William said this, he immediately regretted it, there were rules, he was just helping the auction, and there was no reason to ask the other party about the origin of these things.

Du Yongxiao already felt William Chen's excitement on the other side of the phone.

"It's a long story, I got these things from the Huaqing Gang." Du Yongxiao did not hide it at all, and then told everything he knew.

This time it was William Chen's turn to be surprised, he thought that Du Yongxiao would say a few perfunctory words, but he didn't expect Du Yongxiao to trust himself so much.

When Du Yongxiao finished explaining, William Chen was a little embarrassed, "Ahem, I'm sorry Mr. Du, I didn't mean to, I meant-"

"It's okay, you don't have to explain." Du Yongxiao smiled, "Since we want to cooperate, then I trust you 100%. ”

100% trust?

William Chen felt ashamed again.

remembered his suspicion of Du Yongxiao before, as well as his disdain for him.

"I'm sorry, friend! Today I did something wrong and looked down on you. Yes, I think you're talking big, I didn't expect you to actually do it. Terrible! William Chen gave a thumbs up on the other end of the phone.

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Since that's the case, let's start!" ”

"Of course! Victoria's Secret, I'll arrange everything now! As for the world's supermodels or something, the rich or something, as well as yacht shows, fireworks shows, auction shows or something, I will arrange them all here! ”

"Well, that's not good, after all, I brought it up!" Du Yongxiao knew what the other party wanted to do, and asked knowingly.

"It's okay, you and I are not outsiders, my arrangement is my arrangement! Rest assured, you are the founder of the Victoria's Secret event, there is no doubt about that, but in the future, we can cooperate with this kind of activity for a long time, and our side will take on more responsibilities, and you can also have more time to do other things. ”

William Chen was ashamed again in his heart, there was no way, his father Chen Yaozu asked him to hold the right to host "Victoria's Secret" in his hands, and he could only compete with Du Yongxiao for the right to host it with a cheeky face.

Du Yongxiao laughed: "Thank you, to be honest, I am really entangled in official business, and I don't have much time to organize such large-scale activities, since you propose so, then I will be cheeky and cooperate with your company for a long time." ”

"Don't say that, everyone helps each other!"

"Very good!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile.

For Du Yongxiao, it is not a bad thing to hand over the hosting rights of "Victoria's Secret" to the Chen family, first of all, the other party has a close relationship with tycoons from all walks of life in the world, and his connections are definitely wider than that of Du Yongxiao.

Secondly, this kind of activity is a kind of labor worry to put it bluntly, and the gimmick is enough, and it can earn a good profit while gaining fame.

Du Yongxiao has never cared about fame, all he wants is profit.

So this kind of hard work was handed over to William Chen to do, and Du Yongxiao was not distressed at all.

What's more, William Chen also said just now, no matter what, he Du Yongxiao will always be the "father of Victoria".

……

Here, Du Yongxiao began to order Anna to smuggle the celebrities from Paramount's underground warehouse to Canada.

Here, Du Yongxiao ordered Yan Xiong and Lei Luo to thoroughly count the number of treasures in the underground warehouse of the Huaqing Gang.

According to Du Yongxiao's intentions, all national treasures belonging to China will be transported back to Hong Kong by an opportunity.

In any case, they cannot be allowed to continue to be lost overseas.

As for the world-famous paintings of those ghosts, as well as the Russian crown, the queen's cane and so on, they were all shipped to Ottawa and waiting to be auctioned on the high seas.

William Chen was not idle here.

For the first time, the "Hero Post" was widely distributed -—— invitations to the world's richest people around the world, telling them that the Rose Group was going to hold a large-scale "Victoria's Secret" underwear show this time, and the participants were the world's top young models, in addition to large yacht shows, fireworks displays, wine appreciation conferences, and auction conferences, etc., in a word, this time will be the world's top people to participate in the party, rich may not be able to participate, can participate in the top of the top!

In a word: coming here is all about spending money, lots and lots of money! Not super-rich, don't come!

The Rose Group is well-known as an underground auction house around the world, and every event it holds is a success, and the rich people trust them too.

What's more, William Chen's slogan this time is very loud and the selling point is also very full-——

Victoria's Secret!

Sounds enticing!

The world's top tender model!

The two words of tender model make people think about it.

Not to mention yachts, fireworks, wine parties, auctions, etc., it's a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and having fun.

Compared to the previous single auction held by the Rose Group, this "Victoria's Secret" is simply superb.

What's more, William Chen also said in the invitation letter: Coming here is to let you spend money, spend a lot of money! Not super-rich, don't come!

This has further irritated the world's richest people.

Mud horses, who do you look down on?

If you don't go, wouldn't it mean that Lao Tzu has no money?

All of a sudden, those rich people began to prepare one by one, making new dresses, carrying luxury luggage, and bringing their most faithful servants to Canada on private jets, private yachts, etc.

At the same time, William Chen used his family's influence to invite the world's top young models.

In fact, William Chen also admires the "tender model" word designed by Du Yongxiao.

The word "tender" makes countless people drool.

After learning about this grand event, those female models flocked to it one by one, they were able to make money, they could also participate in light shows, and most importantly, they could meet so many top rich people, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It can be said that the "Victoria's Secret" underwear show launched by Rose Group directly detonated the global entertainment industry.

What is Showbiz? is the colorful Vanity Fair, and this underwear show is the Vanity Fair in Vanity Fair.

Just when everyone was full of praise for the "super idea" of the Rose Group, the news came out that there was someone else who really pioneered the "Victoria's Secret" underwear show event!

He is a well-known Hollywood entertainment tycoon - Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao turned out to be the founder?

The news shocked Hollywood again.

Countless people are curious about this legendary Chinese tycoon.

And those who know Du Yongxiao can't wait to start "going through the back door" at the moment.

Especially those Hollywood female stars who know Du Yongxiao, they also want to get a piece of the pie, they don't care about their status at all, and they also want to participate in this kind of underwear show.

Of course, Du Yongxiao did not refuse to come, and signed contracts one after another, how much is the catwalk fee, what are the admission rules, how to arrange food and accommodation, etc., all of which are clear.

For some unqualified actresses, Du Yongxiao also gave them a chance, as long as everything was at their own expense.

In a word, the more women, the better, who knows which one those rich people like.

……

Canada's "Rose Group" teamed up with Hollywood's "Fox-Paramount Pictures" to create an unprecedented "Victoria's Secret" lingerie show, and the news quickly spread.

The United States and Canada have been reporting in large volumes-——

The New York Times: "Victoria's Secret Lingerie Show is here! Create the world's top event, gather the world's richest people, the best beauties! ”

Hollywood Entertainment Weekly: "I'll come, I'll watch, I'll witness!" Victoria's Secret Lingerie Show, the first voyage, leading the world! ”

The Ottawa Daily: "Top in the world!" Top Rich! Beautiful women gathered! Prosperous opening! ”

It can be said that as long as the world's well-known entertainment companies and well-known auction companies do not know that the Rose Group has changed its career to the shore and used the "underwear show" to package their underground auction activities, including the old rival of the Rose Group -—— the famous Christie's auction company.

In 1766, a Scotsman from Perth, Australia, opened the first art auction house in London, his name was James Christie's, so the name of the auction house was "Christie's". At that time, it was the middle of the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Soon after the company opened, Christie's prepared for its first auction on 5 December 1766, attracting the attention of the British public.

In the more than 200 years since, Christie's has continued to do good things and its business has grown bigger and bigger. In 1778, Christie's successfully appraised the paintings from Sir Walberd's collection of Howden for £40,000 and sold them to the buyer, Queen Catherine of the Russian Empire.

At that time, 40,000 pounds was an astronomical amount for the average person.

In 1795, Christie's made two more big deals, the Sir Reynolds collection sold for £10,319 over four days; With Madame Dubarry's permission, her jewellery was auctioned for nearly £10,000.

Two years later, the famous British painter Hogarth's "Wedding Customs" oil painting sold for 1,050 pounds. It was the first auction to break £1,000.

In 1803, James Christie's died, and Christie's Jr. took over the company. During his nearly 30 years in office, the auction results were mediocre, except that the auction house was moved from the original Bell Road to 8 King Street, which is now the headquarters of Christie's.

In 1831, Christie's Jr. also died, and a man named William Manson joined the company and took charge of the business, and the company was renamed "Christie's and Manson's Auction House".

However, during Manson's time, the auction did not do well, and only in 1848 a 40-day auction of the Duke of Buckingham's collection was held at the Steo Building, which sold for only £77,562.

In 1859, Thomas Woods joined the company and took rein, and the company was renamed Christie's, Manson & Woods.

In 1876, the famous British landscape and portrait painter Gainsborough's Portrait of the Duchess of Tevenshaw was auctioned by Christie's, becoming the first artwork to fetch £10,000 at auction. Since then, the value of famous oil paintings has increased significantly.

In 1882, Christie's held a 17-day auction at Hamilton Palace in London, in which 11 paintings were selected by the National Gallery and sold for a total of £397562. Since then, Christie's has made a name for itself throughout Europe.

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, Spanish painter Velázquez's Portrait of Juan de Parlega sold for £2.31 million, the first artwork ever sold to break a record of £1 million.

Since 1968, Christie's has had a new owner, who is Thomas Woods's grandson, John Woods, known as the "No. 1 Hero in the Auction World"!

John Woods took office with a keen eye to expand abroad, and that year opened his first foreign office in Geneva, specializing in jewelry.

In 1973, he opened an office in New York, USA, and held auctions, which were very successful, and in 1974, that is, this year, he opened a new office in New York, called "Christie's East".

In particular, John Woods successfully listed Christie's on the London Stock Exchange in 1973, making it a joint-stock company invested by the public, absorbing one billion dollars in one fell swoop, making Christie's officially move towards the hegemony of the world's auction companies, and John Woods himself is known as "Tiger Woods" by everyone.

……

New York, USA,

Christie's East.

Wine rack, minibar, indoor golf, various fitness equipment and more.

In a luxurious office, there is a bust oil painting hanging on the wall -

An old man with a white beard, wearing a black vest and a gold pocket watch on his chest, his eyes were blazing, and his green eyes had a feeling of devouring people, which made people shudder.

At this moment, a slender and pale white young man looked at the white-haired old man who was sitting in the boss's chair and looking at the financial statements seriously.

The young man is thirty-three years old Chinese New Year's Eve, his name is "Henry Woods", and he is the third son of the famous "Tiger Woods".

And at this moment, the white-haired old man sitting in the boss's chair is the terrifying "big tiger" in the auction world.

Henry looked at his father and didn't dare to say a word.

The seat where Tiger Woods was sitting was originally his, but he didn't know why his father came here to inspect the work today on a whim.

In addition to him, they had two older brothers, one in the London headquarters and the other in the Paris branch, and he was assigned to New York.

For a long time, Tiger Woods has not been very optimistic about this youngest son Henry, thinking that he lacks the kind of arbitrary and domineering, and those who do auctions must have this kind of domineering, and they can make a direct decision at a fraction of a second.

It's a pity that Henry is a bit "weak" in this regard, on the contrary, he is a "genius" when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun.

"Father, these reports are correct, I have read them three or four times." Henry cautiously said to Tiger Woods.

Woods snapped, threw the report in his hand on the table, and looked up, white beard, green eyes like that bust portrait, sharp enough to devour the living!

Henry didn't dare to make eye contact with his father, and hurriedly turned over and said, "What I said is true, I didn't embezzle public funds again this time!" Not at all! ”

Woods snorted coldly and looked at his son: "Seriously, last time I wasn't angry at you for embezzling public funds, but at you for embezzling too little." ”

"Huh?" Henry froze.

Woods' eyes were sharp: "Our family, our group is also world-renowned, but you only dare to embezzle a mere $300,000 at a time!" ”

"Ah, father, I-"

"If you want to embezzle, at least three million, thirty million, or even three hundred million!" Woods clenched his fists and gestured domineeringly, "This is worthy of being my tiger Woods's son!" ”

Henry was a little stupid, he never dreamed that his father would "teach" himself like this.

Angry that he is not corrupt enough, 300,000 is too little, asking for 3 million, 30 million, or even 300 million?

"It's not going to be a trick on me, is it?"

"Fishing law enforcement?"

Young Master Henry muttered in his heart.

No matter how you look at my father's brain, it seems that something is abnormal.

"Ahem, Father, I will remember your teachings!" Henry was cautious, "But I still have to mend my ways, and I will never do it again!" ”

Thinking about it, Henry was still safe, showing loyalty, and vowing to be a "good man".

Tiger Woods glanced at Henry's third son, and sighed again in his heart, he was not saved, he didn't even have the slightest ambition, what should he do?

"Vidokalia's secret, have you heard of this event?" Tiger Woods said suddenly.

Henry's eyes lit up, "Of course I heard!" It is said that there will be many of the world's top young models participating in the underwear show! ”

Woods looked at his son with a twinkle in his eyes, and once again felt that the other party was not saved.

"I mean something else!"

"Uh, what else?" Henry was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Oh yes, this event is organized by the Rose Company, they are our mortal enemies, we are openly engaged in auctions, they are secretly engaged in auctions, and they steal a lot of our business!" ”

"That's right, in the past, they came secretly, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't get on the stage, but this time it's different, as long as they make this underwear show successful, they can package their private auction activities into a serious business, and it will be a huge impact on our Christie's at that time."

Although Young Master Henry is a little sloppy, he is not a fool.

"Father, you mean—"

"What I mean is very simple, we must not let them hold this underwear show successfully!" Tiger Woods' eyes glowed with a terrifying light.

Young Master Henry was startled, couldn't help but take a step back, looked at his father and said, "Then I'...... What to do? ”

Woods smiled and looked at his son, "My dear Henry, tell me, what are you usually best at?" ”

"Uh, this I-"

Tiger Woods stood up, walked out from behind the desk, came to his son Henry, stretched out his hand, smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Aren't you very good at being a gentleman, then this time, be a gentleman!" ”

After speaking, his eyes showed a cold light.
