Giuseppe Eskenazi is not a stupid person, he has already determined that someone is going to **** him, and there is definitely a follow-up method.
Although it is not clear who has offended it, the best way to resist unknown danger is to disrupt the enemy's offensive routine.
The enemy in the dark is obviously to let these forty-eight Chinese articles be photographed, and his best response is to prevent this from happening.
The second most expensive auctioneer is his trust. He doesn't want to let himself buy back the lots he provided. After all, buying them back will cost more than 500,000 pounds.
You need to know that Eskenazy Co., Ltd. had a net profit of just over five million pounds last year, which is equivalent to a one-tenth of his loss.
Eskenazi Co., Ltd. belongs to the family. Although he is the head of the family, his shareholding ratio is only more than ten points. It is impossible for him to pay for this money himself.
If you let the company out, then this year's financial report will definitely be inferior, and it will affect the company's stock price then, which is not desirable.
So it is absolutely not advisable to buy it back by yourself or the company!
In this way, the best way is to let the third highest bidder buy it all.
It’s just that it takes a certain amount of time, and there is no guarantee that all will be successful.
It's not too late, you must act immediately!
Thinking of this, Giuseppe Eskenazi said to Sotheby’s general manager: "Manager Ron, I need to trouble you to contact customers, the sooner the better!"
The general manager named Ron is a grasshopper on the same rope as Giuseppe Eskenazi. He immediately said: "Since you agree to sell, then I will arrange it right away."
After finishing speaking, Manager Ron hurriedly removed customer information, trying to intercept many customers before they left, complete private transactions as soon as possible, and reduce the rate of unsuccessful auctions.
At the same time, he also asked people to find out the details of the five British people who refused to pay.
Not to mention, that night, Ron and Giuseppe Eskenazi really completed eight private transactions, reducing the number of Chinese cultural relics that were sold out from forty-eight to forty.
They plan to continue the action the next day.
But Xia Yu had expected them to do this a long time ago, so he didn't plan to give them more time to cope.
The next day, with the distribution of major newspapers, a blockbuster news aroused heated discussion.
British "The Sun": Shocking! Buyers refused to pay for a large number of sold items during Sotheby's summer auction!
Famous gossip newspaper "Daily Mirror": Sotheby's summer auction has not seen any bad conditions in a century, and all Chinese cultural relics have been unsold!
"Financial Times": According to reliable sources, all Chinese cultural relics provided by Eskenazy Ltd. to participate in Sotheby's London auction have all been sold, with a total transaction volume of 1.7 million pounds, and Sotheby's in the United States A similar situation occurred in the summer auctions in France, France and Hong Kong. Sotheby's auction house will reduce the total turnover of the summer auction by 9.2 million pounds...
"Daily Telegraph"...
It seems that an appointment has been made. Many major mainstream newspapers have reported negative news about Sotheby’s Auction House, and they have written them in great detail, making people believe it is true at a glance.
In fact, the news reported in these newspapers were all arranged by Xia Yu for submission.
City of London, Chinese Commercial Bank.
Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi sat down to drink tea face to face.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Wu Hongyi said with a smile: "Xia Yu, it seems that Sotheby’s Auction House and Eskenazy Co., Ltd. are busy. I thought you wanted to buy those antiques. I still read it. I don’t understand what you want."
Although it is not reported in the news that Xia Yu did it, Wu Hongyi is 100% sure that Xia Yu did it.
After all, Xia Yu had specifically instructed him not to participate in the auction of Chinese cultural relics before, and other people also agreed.
When this happens at this time, who else can it be if Xia Yu did it?
Xia Yu shook his head slightly to blow away the white mist from the teacup, took a sip, and smiled faintly.
"I just don't want foreign devils to maliciously increase the price of Chinese cultural relics and **** blood on us Chinese."
Wu Hongyi was taken aback, then he thought about the key, and then looked at Xia Yu in admiration: "That's it, admire it!"
"I read the newspaper and said that the United States, France and Hong Kong all have this situation, and Hong Kong is the most serious?"
Wu Hongyi hesitated and asked.
Anyway, Wu Hongyi also knew that it was his hand. He didn't worry that Wu Hongyi would leak it out, so Xia Yu didn't hide it. He nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I greeted some people in Xiangjiang."
In fact, the largest market for Chinese cultural relics today is Asia, with the focus on Southeast Asia and East Asia. After all, these places have the most Chinese people and know how to collect and appreciate Chinese cultural relics.
Sotheby's summer auction places the location in Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang is Xia Yu's site.
Before Xia Yu came, he greeted a group of big Chinese guys. Everyone was willing to give Xia Yu a face. Anyway, it was not Sotheby’s auction house collecting antiques.
Because of this, the situation of unsuccessful auctions in the Xiangjiang Forbes summer auction is the most serious. More than half of the Huaxiawen logistics auctions or the buyer refused to pay, and the total transaction price reached more than six million pounds, equivalent to nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars.
Not all of these lots were provided by Eskenazy Co., Ltd., but all the Chinese cultural relics it offered were refused payment, and none of them were in vain!
This situation was known to Sotheby's Head Office and Giuseppe Eskenazi last night.
Both sides wanted to close the lid tightly, thinking of a solution overnight.
It’s just that they didn’t expect Xia Yu to make an amazing shot so fiercely!
At this time, the two companies are already in a state of desperation. Faced with a large number of reporters around the door of the two companies, the heads of the two companies dare not go out.
And this is not over, the bad influence is far from reaching the limit.
Prior to this, Xia Yu arranged for someone to short Sotheby’s Auction House and Eskenazy Ltd.
At this time, major mainstream media reported negative news involving the two companies, especially after the Financial Times analyzed the actual situation and future prospects of the two companies based on actual data from a fair and objective perspective, the majority of capital was immediately affected. . Starting
The stock prices of Sotheby’s Auction House and Eskenazy Co., Ltd. fell at the same time, and the bad influence spread further again forming a vicious circle. New 81 Chinese website update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/
On the side of Huashang Bank, Wu Hongyi heard Xia Yu admit that when he was shocked in his eyes, he suddenly thought of a key question.
He immediately asked: "Xia Yu, according to the current situation, Huaxia cultural relics are well-known. In the next few years, it will be difficult for Huaxia cultural relics to sell for a high price. If you buy so many Chinese cultural relics, isn't it more difficult to realize it?"
Xia Yu smiled, and said nonchalantly: "The antiques I bought will not be sold in the past 30 years. The reputation of Chinese cultural relics will be stinky. It is even better. The foreign devils of the province take our cultural pride. Lie on us to **** blood."
In Xia Yu’s view, the reputation of Huaxia cultural relics is more beneficial to him. It will be less difficult for him to acquire Huaxia cultural relics and the price will be lower. After all, when most people realize that the Huaxia cultural relics market is not good, many people do not If you dare to collect and invest, it will be more difficult to speculate on the price.
And he also knows that the reputation of Chinese cultural relics is stinking, and decades are enough to wipe away the current bad influence.
No matter how bad, after a few decades, China’s economy will rise, and the price of China’s cultural relics will still be fired up. At that time, the people who speculate on cultural relics and antiques will definitely not be limited to the British, and the Chinese people involved in the interests will be behind the scenes. man of.
"You are right. Once this time, the price of Chinese cultural relics will definitely fall, and not many people dare to invest. It seems that I have to seize the opportunity to buy more. I'm going to take your light again."
Wu Hongyi laughed.
Xia Yu couldn't help but smile.
