Chapter 1198 dog bites dog
At this time, everyone's eyes were once again gathered on Fang You, hoping that he could take out Da Vinci's paintings and let them see if this was true.
Everyone felt that there were too many things happening today, which was so exciting. Originally, Christie's Auction House auctioned the beast heads and Fang You offered 100 million euros, but then a huge turn happened. Fang You had already obtained the authentic beast heads, and what Christie's Auction House took out was a fake, so he had to compensate Fang You for 200 million euros in money.
Moreover, because of the threat from Christie's auction house, Fang You actually announced that all his companies would not open branches in France to ensure the safety of the company's employees until he believed that the threat factor was eliminated.
Now, Fang You actually threw out another major news bomb. He discovered some sketches of Leonardo da Vinci and was preparing to auction at the French Dragon You Auction Branch. These things made everyone feel like waves, one wave after another, and the front waves shot at the back row without stopping.
Leonardo da Vinci's paintings are very precious. The most famous oil painting in the world is Mona Lisa. Many famous oil painters from later generations have been deeply influenced by Leonardo da Vinci. Sketching is as precious as oil paintings. Each painting is immortal. What is even more exciting is that from the sketching paintings, they can appreciate some of the painting techniques of Master Leonardo da Vinci very intuitively.
Everyone now has only one idea, that is, to see if what Fang You said is true, whether he owns Leonardo da Vinci's paintings or is lying.
Fang You nodded with a smile, "Oh. You want to see it, okay, I've brought a few pictures. Among them are the characters' sketches created by Master Leonardo da Vinci, as well as human skeletons and some mechanical pictures. Now, I'll show you some bones and mechanical sketches. As for the characters' sketches, if you want to see them, you have to wait for the future."
As he said that, Fang You took out two sketches of Da Vinci from his arms and placed them in front of the camera. Through the two large screens above, everyone on the scene, including those in front of the TV network, could clearly see these two sketches, one is a human skeleton decomposition diagram and the other is a mechanical design diagram. Each picture is drawn vividly. The human skeleton diagram looks extremely real, as if a human skeleton is presented in front of him.
The mechanical design drawings are even more amazing, and every detail and every part can be seen clearly.
There are also some small text records in the sketches, at the bottom of the two sketches. They found the name of Da Vinci and saw these names. Everyone was excited, even though these sketches were only spoken by Fang You himself, without any expert's announcement of the appraisal results.
However, they subconsciously believed that this was true because Fang You's fame would not deceive them at all.
"Mr. Fang, is this true? Master Leonardo da Vinci's sketch manuscript." An expert at the Louvre said in a bit unbelievable way. How could Fang You find out how precious the manuscript is?
Professor Putston, who was standing by, smiled slightly, "I have read the manuscripts that Mr. Fang You have found. It is certainly the sketches drawn by Master Leonardo da Vinci. Moreover, not only these design drawings and ordinary figures, but also several more exciting and shocking paintings."
"Professor, you have a very deep study of Leonardo da Vinci. The paintings you are sure of are definitely the sketches of Master Leonardo da Vinci, but what are the exciting paintings you mentioned?" The experts at the Louvre looked at Putston with some envy. Perhaps it was because of Professor Putston who realized his mistake and was forgiven by Fang You. Also, he was qualified to study and appraise these paintings obtained by Fang You.
Professor Putston smiled slightly, "This is kept confidential for the time being. If Mr. Fang doesn't say it, I naturally can't say it."
When everyone heard Professor Putston's words, the audience was suddenly excited. Leonardo da Vinci's paintings were really exciting. There were many paintings left by Master Leonardo da Vinci to the world, but a large part of them were stored in major museums, and a small part was collected by major families. There were very few that could be circulated in society. Sometimes, at major auctions, Leonardo da Vinci's paintings were not seen for several years.
Being able to own a painting by Leonardo da Vinci is simply an honor. Putting it in your home is enough to fill the entire family with light and also to show their collection level.
"Mr. Fang, please hold an auction house. No matter what the requirements are, we can exchange Chinese cultural relics for this sketch as in the auction of the small island country." Suddenly, some wealthy people at the scene shouted loudly without hesitation.
Compared with Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, some of the Chinese cultural relics collected in their homes are really incomparable to the precious works of this generation of world painting masters.
A man shouted, which led to most of the people at the scene. The sounds of asking Fang You to hold an auction resounded continuously throughout the venue.
All the senior managers and shareholders of Christie's Auction changed completely. Fang You wanted to push them to death and destroy their Christie's Auction. Now he actually took out Leonardo da Vinci's paintings and continued to press against them.
If Fang You insisted not to hold an auction, then those who wanted to collect Leonardo da Vinci's paintings would definitely angrily swallow their auction house alive.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang..." The president of Christie's Auction Co., Ltd. rushed to Fang You quickly, wanting to express their apology to Fang You.
Senior officials of the French business department have already issued a harsh warning to them, and coupled with the promotion of Da Vinci's paintings, the influence this time will definitely make them Christie's auction house have no place to gain a foothold from now on and will be despised by most people.
Now, even with De Beers' support, they have to bow their heads to apologize to Fang You. Otherwise, this time the matter will not be perfectly resolved, and tomorrow, the stock price of their Christie's auction house will definitely hit the limit all the way.
Not to mention other countries, most people in France will boycott Christie's auction house, which will leave them with no chance to survive. In other words, hundreds of years of development will soon be destroyed. No matter how powerful De Beers' company is, it will not be able to save this situation.
Now, they truly realized the horror of the young man in front of them and the powerful strength he possessed.
"Haha. I haven't finished my words yet, and I don't have the qualifications to speak yet." Fang You said to him lightly, and then continued to face the camera. "Friends from all walks of life, every time Longyou auction is established in a national branch, a grand auction will be held, and a few treasures will be auctioned to make a name for the auction house. But now, what I can tell you is that the threat from Christie's auction house has made me afraid, fearing that its employees will be attacked by them and the forces behind it. You must know that many people in this country are not friendly to Chinese people."
"So, I decided. Before the threat factor is completely eliminated, I will never open any branch in France. Similarly, this auction will not be able to meet everyone. If you want to see more sketches from Da Vinci, then the Huaxia Dragon Culture Museum will welcome you."
As he said that, Fang You smiled faintly, "Okay, everyone, my speech is over, and the auction ends here. Here, I would like to remind Christie's Auction that 310 million euros of money must be deposited today, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences. Moreover, any accidents I have in France have a significant relationship with your Christie's Auction. Okay, everyone, I have some things to take first."
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, how can we forgive our Christie's Auction? We know that we are wrong. We apologize to you for the words and actions we have said before and will never threaten you." Seeing Fang You want to leave, the president of Christie's Auction shouted loudly. After Fang You left, their Christie's Auction was over.
Fang You stopped, turned around slowly, and smiled coldly, "Haha, you've finished playing and threatened, and an apology can solve anything. Your words have not mitigated the threat factor at all, so I will never open any branch in France until the threat factor is completely lifted."
After saying that, Fang You, Mr. Wang and others walked towards the exit of the auction house, and there seemed to be no more communication with Christie's Auction House. Mr. Wang and others showed an excited look on their faces. Fang You could have staged a shocking drama for them, which made them completely satisfied.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, all of this was instructed by De Beers Company, including the auction house of the beast head, they were instructed by them, they did it, and had nothing to do with our Christie's Auction House." Suddenly, from behind Fang You and others, the hysterical roar of the president of Christie's Auction House came from behind.
The person in charge of De Beers changed his face. Facing the cameras that kept flashing around them, he shouted loudly: "This beast-head auction incident was created by Christie's Auction. All the consequences are to be held responsible and have nothing to do with our De Beers."
When they heard their dog biting their dogs, all the media and reporters on the scene showed excitement. What happened today was more amazing than the other. Each one was explosive. They could imagine that the news released tomorrow, or the newspapers printed, would definitely be sold out, and there was definitely a shortage of supply.
But more reporters chased Fang You, and said that they wanted to know what Fang You's bottom line is and what level it reached. Fang You felt that the threat factor was lifted, and that he could open a branch in France and hold a grand auction. I guess this is something more people want to know and have been paying attention to.
"Mr. Fang You, what Christie's auction house should do, or to what extent, to cancel the threat factor you think." A reporter chased Fang You and kept asking.
Fang You looked at him calmly and saw the fearless reporter's heart, "What I think, do you think the threat is just my own opinion? Christie's Auction House threatened me and its companies in public and hundreds of people at the scene. This is a fact, not just what I think."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Fang You, the threat to you by Christie's auction house is obvious to all. Their forces in France can do this. How do you think they can do it so that you can feel that France is safe and you can invest."
Hearing Fang You's words, the reporter apologized repeatedly and continued to ask.
"Haha, I don't know how powerful Christie's is, so I can't explain how much they have done. I think there is no danger. What I need most now is not what I say. But what they want to do to relieve my sense of threat. So, instead of asking me, it's better to ask those people at Christie's Auction and see what they want to do next to satisfy me. If they do, I can't help me feel that the threat is eliminated, even if there is only a trace, I will still not come to France to make any investment. This may not be the business of Christie's Auction, but the business of the French government." Fang You smiled faintly, and then came to the car under the escort of security personnel.
"Oh, remember. I'll help me urge the people at Christie's auction house to 310 million euros. They must be called to my account as soon as possible. At the same time, I would like to thank them for their contributions to China's charity. I will donate the 200 million euros they compensated to Huaxia Longlin Foundation." Before getting on the car, Fang You seemed to think of something, and then smiled, then got on the car and headed towards the five-star hotel where they lived.
The media people who made live comments on the TV station were completely crazy. "Mr. Fang You took out the sketch of Leonardo da Vinci, which was personally identified by Professor Putston. It is a complete authentic product. Mr. Fang You always said that when he held an auction, he would definitely be auctioned at the auction. But now, due to the threat of Christie's, Mr. Fang You canceled the auction and would not make any investments in France, just because the investment environment in France is too dangerous."
"We can see that the president of Christie's Auction just wanted to apologize to Fang You, but was ignored by Mr. Fang You. Then, Mr. Fang You walked out of the door, and the president of Christie's Auction, in a hurry, revealed an even more outrageous thing. This time, the beast-headed auction was planned by De Beers Company, and the purpose was to embarrass Fang You and all Chinese people. De Beers Company's people were not to be outdone, saying that this matter had nothing to do with them, and that all the consequences would be borne by Christie's Auction. The two of them are now starting to curse at the street hooligans, and there are even signs of taking action."
"And some reporters chased out and asked Fang You how to continue investing in France. Mr. Fang You's answer was that he should not ask him, but to ask Christie's auction house what he is going to do now. If he thinks that the threat has not been lifted, even if there is only one, he will not invest, let alone hold an auction."
"Dear viewers, this live broadcast is over here. For more news, please pay attention to tomorrow's morning news. No matter whether this incident can be solved perfectly, I think Christie's Auction can't go back to the past. They will regret their behavior. Finally, thank you Mr. Fang You for allowing us to have such an exciting night. Goodbye, everyone, I will be so excited that I can't fall asleep today, haha."
Some news live broadcasts have temporarily ended. Now that the auction has ended, it is estimated that only the dogs of Christie's and De Beers have bitten the dog. It is better to comment tomorrow and see what Christie's Auction will do to make Fang You extinguish the anger in his heart.
Some French people walked out of the venue, each with an excited smile on their faces. This time, they did not come in vain and witnessed the emergence of a big show. Christie's Auction, a large auction house with a history of hundreds of years, is the only one in the world that has the longest history with Sotheby's Auction.
In France, Christie's Auction is powerful and a pillar industry in France. With De Beers' company behind it, its strength is also at the forefront in Europe. However, today, Mr. Fang You put Christie's Auction on the verge of destruction in just a few words. If they were not watching it on the spot, they would have no way to believe this fact.
Most of the French people were very happy. Due to Fang You, Chinese culture has gradually penetrated into their hearts. They naturally disgusted with Christie's Auction and did not have any sympathy. This was just a blame for Christie's Auction.
China and France have a time difference of several hours. When the French evening auction was held, it was already early in the morning. However, many people did not rest and concentrated on computers or international TV stations to watch the live broadcast of the first auction of the French Christie's auction house.
This time, the incident made them feel very ups and downs, like a roller coaster. In the end, Fang You proved that the beast head was a fake. The words he said made all Chinese feel relieved from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, everyone knew that Fang You's previous purpose of raising the price was to allow Christie's auction house to pay more. The 200 million euros compensation probably has never appeared in the entire auction history.
The people at the auction were scolding Christie's auction house. They also saw it on the TV screen, and they were even more excited and excited.
All the live broadcasts ended, but their inner excitement had not disappeared for a long time. The beast heads were auctioned so many times, and the country and the people also organized many forces to stop them. However, this time, it was the one that made them most happy, and the anger in their hearts seemed to be vented.
