Chapter 599: Free Donation
The entire album takes 10 minutes from the beginning to the end of the page.
During this period, Miguel Rena remained quiet until Tang Yuan gathered the album before he spoke: "Tang Dong, is there a problem with the album?" ”
Tang Yuan shook his head: "Give me an account, I'll call the bank now and ask them to call the money." ”
"Dong Tang, you can just let them transfer the money to this account."
"We will have a dedicated staff to communicate with the bank."
Seeing Tang Yuan so happy, Miguel Reina's smile couldn't help but become brighter, and he handed Tang Yuan a business card with their Christie's auction house bank account printed with both hands, and said with an extremely respectful attitude.
Tang Yuan bowed slightly, and after taking the business card, he picked up the phone and called the special line service department of China Merchants Bank Zhonghai Branch, which exclusively serves him, and asked them to transfer 715 million US dollars into the account of Christie's auction house.
After greeting the bank, the next step was the regular process, and under the personal service of Miguel Reina, Tang Yuan signed various formalities and contracts.
Due to the huge amount of money, the president of China Merchants Bank Zhonghai Branch and the vice president of China Merchants Bank head office called Tang Yuan one after another, and the whole process lasted about half an hour before Christie's Auction House received the notice of arrival.
At this point, the money and goods are cleared.
Whether it was Tang Yuan or Miguel Reina, they were all silently relieved.
"Tang Dong, now in the main hall of the auction house, there are many media reporters who want to interview you, if you don't want to be interviewed, we can arrange for you to take the safe passage."
After Miguel Reina told Tang Yuan how to operate the portable safe, he immediately said this to Tang Yuan.
"Safe passage is not necessary."
"Since I came from the main gate when I came, I naturally had to leave through the main gate."
After Tang Yuan changed the password and locked the handheld safe, he stood up from the sofa, and his words were filled with indescribable domineering.
In fact, Tang Yuan's move was really not deliberately pretending.
If Yanagawa Xiongliang and others or others really had ill intentions towards Tang Yuan, then the safe passage of Christie's auction house must have been full of eyeliner a long time ago, and even a net had been laid out to wait for Tang Yuan.
Although the main entrance of Christie's auction house is crowded and seems to be dangerous, today it gathers media reporters from many countries around the world, and it is the front of Christie's auction house.
Of course, the front entrance is just as risky.
However, since both were risky, Tang Yuan still preferred to walk out in a dignified manner rather than sneak away like a mouse that could not see the light.
Miguel Rena saw that Tang Yuan had made up his mind, he didn't want to say anything more, so he could only make a gesture of please: "Tang Dong, I'll send you." ”
Tang Yuan did not refuse, took Su Xiaoxiao's little hand, and walked towards the outside of the VIP lounge with a handheld safe surrounded by Yuan Meng and others.
Along the way, the security personnel of Christie's auction house and Yuan Meng and others formed a close human wall, isolating everyone who passed by, so as to ensure Tang Yuan's absolute safety.
At this time, the main hall of Christie's auction house was full of media reporters from all over the world, and when they saw Tang Yuan's appearance, they all suddenly rushed towards Tang Yuan's side with their eyes lit up.
However, in the face of the security personnel with an average height of more than 180, these media reporters couldn't get close to Tang Yuan at all, and they were all stopped two meters away, and they could only look at Tang Yuan with blank eyes.
"Time is limited, so I'll just answer a few questions."
Tang Yuan smiled, his hands pressed to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he pointed to a beautiful female reporter with blonde hair and blue eyes according to the edge of his eyes: "The first question, you come to ask." ”
When the beautiful female reporter saw that Tang Yuan had chosen herself, her eyes lit up slightly, and she hurriedly raised the microphone and asked Tang Yuan: "Hello, Mr. Tang, can I ask you, what was the original intention of spending a huge amount of money to buy that twentieth century East Asian photo album?" ”
"The original intention was very simple, because I am a Chinese."
Tang Yuan's face was calm, and after answering the first question, he immediately pointed to another reporter: "The second question, you come to ask a question." ”
"Hello Mr. Tang, would it be convenient to ask you, how do you plan to place this twentieth-century East Asian photo album?"
Although this question is decent, it is something that many people are concerned about, and everyone looked at Tang Yuan, who was tall, with some expectation in their eyes.
"In this album, there are a large number of empirical photos of the bloody crimes committed by the Japanese invasion of China, and I plan to donate them to the Memorial Hall of the Jinling Massacre of the Japanese Invasion of China free of charge after returning to China, so that the descendants of the Chinese nation can circulate for generations to come, never forget history, and rejuvenate China."
"At that time, media reporters from all over the world are welcome to come to the Memorial Hall of the Jinling Massacre of the Japanese Invasion of China to see what kind of content is in this $650 million photo album, which will make the Japanese side desperate to compete with us."
Tang Yuan's voice was not very loud, but it made people feel an indescribable shock.
Donation!
Donate for free!
Although the hammer price is $650 million, if you want to take away the auction item, Tang Yuan still needs to pay another 10% commission, which means that Tang Yuan will need to spend more than $700 million in the end.
With such a sky-high auction item, Tang Yuan did not choose to collect it alone, but chose to donate it to the country free of charge, which is no less than Tang Yuan's direct donation of 700 million US dollars to the country.
With such a big stroke, how can it not shock everyone, and how can it not make people admire Tang Yuan's patriotic feelings from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, Huo Zhenggang and He Yuqiong, who were behind everyone, their eyes were staggered, and their eyes were speechless.
"It's ......"
"What a boldness!"
After a long time, Huo Zhenggang exhaled lightly and couldn't help but sigh.
"If Tang Yuan can really do what he says, then Tang Yuan will be as stable as Mount Tai in China from now on, and this one thing alone is comparable to our He family's efforts over the past decades."
He Yuqiong was also full of emotion, she really couldn't imagine what kind of sensation it would cause after the news spread in China.
"Sister Qiong, that's a full 700 million dollars."
"Even if all the liquidity of our entire Huo family is drained, it will be difficult to come up with 700 million US dollars, let alone 700 million US dollars to donate."
"For this album worth 700 million US dollars, Tang Yuan can't get any honors, and I won't be envious."
Huo Zhenggang shook his head and responded with a wry smile.
When He Yuqiong heard this, she didn't say anything more, she looked at the direction of Tang Yuan in front of her, and all the thoughts in her eyes ......
