Ten minutes later, inside the VIP lounge.

Tang Yuan sat on the sofa, and in front of him sat a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, the accessories worn by the other party were extremely exquisite, and his body was filled with the atmosphere of a superior person.

This person is none other than Miguel Reina, the executive president of Christie's auction house headquarters who rushed over as soon as he got Tang Yuan's feedback.

"Dong Tang, just now Mr. Lu told me everything that happened."

Miguel Reina's expression was sincere and sincere, and he immediately explained to Tang Yuan: "I sincerely apologize to you for this matter, and I hope you can understand that our move does not mean anything disrespectful to you and your country." ”

"President Miguel, you don't need to apologize to me." Tang Yuan shook his head: "I just want to know now, whether you are willing to withdraw this twentieth century East Asian photo album from the auction collection list, whether you are willing to let me buy this album, as for the price can be negotiated." ”

"Dong Tang, I'm very sorry, we can't agree to your request."

"If we agree to your request today to remove this collection of 20th century East Asian photographs from the auction list, then tomorrow the Buddhists come to us and say that it is blasphemy for us to put their Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the auction table, and also ask us to remove those Buddhist statues from the auction list, what shall we do?"

"The day after tomorrow, the Christians came to us and told us that God Jesus should not be on the auction items, but that all items with God Jesus printed on them should not be auctioned, so what should we do?"

Speaking of this, Miguel Reina sighed softly: "Tang Dong, if we set this precedent for you today, then it will be difficult for others to make similar requests in the future, I hope you can understand the distress of our auction house." ”

"President Miguel, how can the two be confused when you just said that they are ethereal gods, and what I said are living and deceased people?"

Tang Yuan's sword eyebrows were raised, and he argued with reason.

"Tang Dong, you have no faith, so you will never understand."

Miguel Reina shook his head and retorted, "For those fanatics, the ethereal god in your mouth is their spiritual pillar, and they can even give up their lives for the gods at any time. ”

"So ......"

"What President Miguel means is that this matter is not negotiable, and this 20th century East Asian photo album must be auctioned off, right?"

Tang Yuan was in no mood to continue arguing with Miguel Reina, he just wanted an accurate answer right now.

"Tang Dong, if there are no very special circumstances, it will be like this."

Miguel Reina was silent and responded to Tang Yuan.

In this regard, Tang Yuan threw out a very realistic question: "President Miguel, aren't you afraid that after this matter spreads, you will lose the Chinese market from now on?" ”

"We'll do a good job of clarifying and explaining."

Miguel Reyna smiled, answering the question from a clever angle.

"I hope you can explain it then."

At this point, Tang Yuan didn't say anything more, he got up and prepared to leave, the other party has the rules of the other party, he also has his attitude, since this is the case, then after this matter is over, he will not step into the Christie's auction house again.

"Tang Dong, goodbye."

When Miguel Reina saw Tang Yuan stand up, he also followed Tang Yuan and stood up, and personally sent Tang Yuan to the door of the VIP lounge until he saw the other party leave.

"President Miguel and President of the Yanagawa Chamber of Commerce, Yuliang Yanagawa would like to see you in person and discuss with you about the 20th Century East Asian Photo Album."

Not long after Tang Yuan and Lu Shuyuan left, Miguel Reina's assistant walked quickly to each other's side and reported to him in a low voice.

"Negotiate what?"

Miguel Reina asked with a frown.

"The other party's appeal is basically the same as that of Tang Dong just now, I hope that this album will not appear on the auction table to bid, and I hope that we will contact the owner of this album and go back at a high price internally."

The assistant spoke quickly and reported truthfully to Miguel Reina.

"Tang Dong is Chinese, and it is reasonable to make this request."

Miguel Reina sneered, and his words were filled with a little disgust: "As a Japanese, why did Yanagawa Yuliang make this request?" ”

When the assistant heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said a little hesitantly: "He said that the album contains photos of his great-grandfather, and he also said that there are many photos in this album whose authenticity is doubtful, and if it is rashly put on the auction table, it is likely to cause a lot of unnecessary negative international impact." ”

"He's embarrassed to describe his ancestors by his ancestors?"

"It's clearly a bunch of brutes."

"No, no, no, it's a bit too glorified to describe them as brutes."

As the executive director of Christie's, Miguel Rainer has naturally read the 20th century East Asian photo album, and as a normal person with a normal conscience, normal moral values, and normal social values, he now has great prejudice against that country.

Now, the descendants of the executioners who participated in the bloody murders have come to the door and are so bold that they want to buy the 20th century East Asian photo album, and they directly deny the authenticity of its contents.

One can imagine what kind of mood Miguel Rena is in his heart now.

"Just find a reason to send them away, for a meeting, on a business trip, sick, for whatever reason, I don't want to see them anyway."

"As for their appeals, you directly rejected them in accordance with the company's rules and regulations, and when they came to them in the future, they were all treated like this, do you understand?"

Miguel Rena straightened his tie and looked a little agitated.

"Okay."

"Is there anything else you'd like to explain?"

The assistant answered, habitually asking before leaving.

"Hmmm......"

Miguel Reina groaned slightly, bowing slightly: "There is really one thing, you inform the borrowing room that in the next five days, as much as possible for the Japanese to borrow that twentieth century East Asian photo album, even if there are Japanese VIPs with special status who ask for borrowing, they can only look at it, not touch it." ”

"At the same time, from now on, the number of places will be limited to 10 per day, and anyone who wants to borrow that album must get my consent to borrow it, and ask the legal department to revise the exemption clause for borrowing that album to directly increase the damages to $100 million."

When the assistant heard this, she immediately understood what Miguel Reyna meant, and she asked tentatively: "President, are you afraid that the Japanese side will deliberately damage the album in the name of borrowing?" ”

"The Japanese have never lacked extremists, and we have to guard against them."

After Miguel Reina finished speaking, he waved his hand to the assistant: "Implement what I said as soon as possible." ”

"Okay."

The assistant nodded, turned and walked away quickly.

Miguel Rena stood in place, looking at the direction Tang Yuan had just left and thought for a moment, he had a faint hunch that the biggest dark horse of Christie's auction house this autumn auction was likely to be the album that looked ordinary......
