Although the jewelry made from this batch of materials can only be regarded as A-quality in terms of grade, it is not up to the top-grade jade jewelry. However, women have always preferred red, so this will be displayed on the exhibition stand.
There were many jewelry buyers standing nearby, inquiring about the prices of jewelry.
"Xuan Bing, is our mission completed?"
Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing were sitting on the leisure sofa in their own exhibition hall and asked boredly. His thoughts at this moment had already gone to several exhibition halls selling Chinese and foreign art. Regarding his business, Zhuang Rui
But there is little interest.
"Well, daddy has arrangements for the rest, so we don't have much to do..."
Qin Xuanbing nodded. She didn't like this kind of occasion very much. If it weren't for the family business, she wouldn't show up at all.
"Okay, since everything is fine, you go back to your room and change clothes first, and then we can walk around. I have an appointment with Ezkenna tomorrow, and we will go back to Beijing after we talk about it..."
Zhuang Rui stood up after hearing this, but the first thing he did was to ask Qin Xuanbing to go back to the room to change clothes. His woman was wearing such revealing clothes and was stared at by everyone. Zhuang Rui wanted to wrap up Qin Xuanbing tightly with a sheet.
stand up.
Then again, the jade necklace worth hundreds of millions on Qin Xuanbing's neck is not safe to wear. There is a group of jewelry thieves in this world who stare at those expensive jewelry. Qin Xuanbing looks good wearing the necklace.
, but it is also the source of trouble.
After returning to the room, Zhuang Rui handed the necklace to Peng Fei. With him and Bai Shi here, it is estimated that no thief in the world could steal the necklace from them.
"Dang!" There was a sound of breaking glass in the luxurious office of the Paris auction house.
"Shit, have you found out? Who did it?"
The voice that burst out from Richard's short and fat body was comparable to that of the world's best tenor. It made the glass in front of him tremble slightly, and the crystal ashtray on the ground was innocently quartered by five horses and scattered.
All over the floor.
"Boss, when we found out that this video was first disseminated from a company in the United States, that company... that company has nothing to do with us, and it is impossible for it to do such a thing..."
Standing in front of Richard is Bartkarp Raz, the public relations manager of the auction house. Some external matters are handled by him, but for this auction, Bartkarp is obviously no better.
method.
"What company? Why do you assert that there is no contact?"
Daniel was also almost driven crazy by the video circulating on the Internet, because it contained a section of him apologizing, and it was shot very clearly, with a close-up of his humble facial expression.
His mobile phone has not been idle this morning. Either some old friends called to ask about the situation, or some colleagues made calls that seemed to be comforting but actually mocking. The gloating in the words made Daniel's mobile phone useless before the crystal ashtray hit the ground.
Lost.
Daniel had almost had enough. He was always known for his calmness, and now he wanted to take out the antique shotgun at home and blast the head of the person who spread the video.
"That's a women's underwear company. I...I think it has nothing to do with them. It might be hackers..."
Buttercup was also very angry. When this video came out, their company's image was greatly affected. He was so busy working this morning that he didn't even have time to go to the toilet. The smell of bloated bladder was very unpleasant.
"Shit, go hire a hacker and find out who did it. I'm going to kill him!"
At this time, Richard was like a bull that was provoked and anxious, no... the image of a boar, or more appropriately, waving his short arms, constantly spraying spittle on Buttercup's face.
.
"Richard, do you think it was the boy from yesterday who did it?"
After venting his anger, Daniel gradually regained his composure. There was something fishy about the auction. There should have been no reporters sneaking into the conference room yesterday, and if it had been a reporter, they would never have uploaded the video directly to the Internet.
It must be an exclusive report.
"Probably not, I think... it might be our opponents who did it. You have to know that next month, there will also be a special auction of Chinese art in Hong Kong. It is very likely that it was done by them..."
After hearing what Daniel said, the anger on Richard's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a solemn look. Being able to get into their status requires more than just being able to curse.
"Shit, a bunch of selfish guys, Richard, now it seems that this auction cannot achieve the expected results. Should we lower the auction price and have a better relationship with the Chinese?"
Daniel spat out a curse word from his mouth, and then thought of countermeasures. There were only a handful of auction houses that could compete with them, and although the relationship between the several auction houses was not incompatible, they
There is also friction from time to time.
So as soon as Daniel heard what Richard said, he immediately eliminated the suspicion on Zhuang Rui. After all, the young man expressed appreciation for the decision he made when he left yesterday, and he should not turn away and expose it.
Regarding this matter, you can't be too...shameless, right?
"Okay, I would rather our profit point be lower this time than let those bastards take advantage..."
Richard slammed the table and immediately gave instructions, asking Buttercup to inform Jefferson to lower the starting price back.
Zhuang Rui, who was far away in the UK, naturally didn't know that the auction scandal he had orchestrated had actually benefited the Chinese collectors in Paris and bought many rare objects at prices far lower than the market price.
.
This incident also gave those who stayed behind a taste of the sweetness. In some international auction houses in the future, they organized themselves spontaneously and used group power to fight against the auction houses. Although the value of Chinese art has been steadily increasing,
It has risen, but it has never been hyped up again in an auction.
"Ah Zhi! Who is scolding me?"
Zhuang Ruizheng and Qin Xuanbing were holding hands and strolling around the various jewelry exhibition halls of the expo when they sneezed violently. The sound was so loud that everyone around them looked at him.
"Husband, you won't catch a cold, right? It's all your fault. Just for a while, you wanted to..."
Qin Xuanbing asked with concern at first, but then she rolled her eyes at Zhuang Rui, and even pinched Zhuang Rui's waist with her little hands. When she was changing clothes just now, she was hit by this pervert again.
"It's okay, it's not a cold..." Zhuang Rui grinned and grabbed Qin Xuanbing's little hand. When a woman pinches someone, she picks up soft flesh and pinches it. How can she pinch it so accurately?
"You weren't discovered by those two old boys, were you?"
Zhuang Rui felt a little guilty at the moment, but the beginning and end of Viagra should be handled very cleanly. Zhuang Rui was not afraid of Richard and others looking for evidence. He just refused to admit it if there was no proof or proof.
After fooling Qin Xuanbing, the two came to an exhibition hall selling handicrafts and gifts. In foreign countries, antiques are all called works of art, and their market standards and grades are more detailed than the classification of Chinese antiques.
In this exhibition hall, there are some antique jewelry with relatively dull colors, and there are also some oil paintings. Of course, they are all works by new painters.
There were also some rusty bronzes, which intrigued Zhuang Rui. However, when he walked to the glass booth and used his spiritual energy to investigate, he was immediately disappointed. All of these things were actually fake.
Zhuang Rui has long heard that there is a village in Henan that specializes in making bronze handicrafts. The craftsmanship is very superb, and the distressing techniques are also very clever, and they can almost look fake.
There are many antique dealers with bad behavior who often go there to order bronzes. However, although the people there will make objects according to other people's wishes, every time they sell an object, they will leave a receipt, which says,
They are all modern handicrafts.
In this way, even if those antique dealers use these items to defraud people, they will not be able to find them here in the village. Even if someone comes to the door with fake items, they can show the photos of the receipts to the people who bought the fake items.
Speechless.
Another characteristic of the bronzes produced in that village is that even if most of them are exported, the foreign exchange created by the village in a year accounts for more than half of the entire county.
Judging from the manufacturing process of these bronzes, Zhuang Rui can almost conclude that these objects must have been brought from China, and in all likelihood, they were made in that village in Henan.
Several salespeople are explaining the value of these things to some buyers and tourists.
"Xuan Bing, let's go, there's nothing to see..."
In Zhuang Rui's eyes, these objects were unattractive. After shopping around and finding nothing that could tempt him, Zhuang Rui shook his head and walked out of the exhibition hall with Qin Xuanbing.
"Oh, dear Zhuang, I've been looking for you for a long time..."
As soon as he walked out of the exhibition hall, Zhuang Rui heard someone calling him loudly to his right. He turned around and couldn't help but laugh. Instead of looking at these boring objects here, he might as well go and see this person's collection.
.
"Mr. Ezkenna, it's nice to see you here. Why, are you also interested in jewelry?"
The appointment between Zhuang Rui and Ezkena is tomorrow, because Huangfu Yun can take care of things in New York tomorrow and rush to London to participate in this incident.
When trading items like Zhuang Rui's, they need the presence of lawyers and notaries, so that Zhuang Rui can explain the origin of these items after returning to China.
