"Forty million... the third time!"
"Deal!"
"Boom!"
"Papa..."
As the hammer struck, the people who held their breaths completely relaxed, warm applause followed, and the reporters around frantically pressed the shutter to record this explosive picture.
Cai Keming exclaimed in a passionate tone: "The 122nd volume of the Treasure No. 2888 "Yongle Dadian" finally sold for 40 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the historical auction record of Sotheby's auction house, and also breaking the art of Xiangjiang. Auction records!"
"We are all participants and witnesses of history!"
"Let us congratulate Mr. 65!"
"Papa..."
"well said!"
The applause became even more enthusiastic, sometimes mixed with applause.
The reporters pressed the shutter more frantically, as if film and no money, every scene was reluctant to fall!
With a gentle smile on his face, Hua Shengshi bowed slightly to thank him.
At this time, Ren Decheng, who was behind the scenes, walked to the front desk, replaced Cai Keming, and said loudly into the microphone: "The four-day Sotheby's spring auction has come to a perfect conclusion. Please take the VIPs who have successfully photographed the treasures on the third. The floor confirms and trades."
"Thank you all for your great support!"
"I look forward to seeing you again next time!"
"Thank you!"
After speaking, Ren Decheng bowed deeply.
"Papa..."
Subsequently, under the guidance of the security personnel, the participants in the auction exited in an orderly manner, and the incoming reporter was handled by Ren Decheng.
Sotheby's auction house set a series of records in the spring auction. As the general manager, Ren Decheng naturally has a lot of news hot spots, second only to the booming age of 40 million Hong Kong dollars.
Let’s talk about Xia Yu, who came out in a low-key manner, let Hua Shengshi respond to those rich and powerful who came to congratulate him, and also promoted the Kowloon Cultural Museum.
When Xia Yu first came out, he unexpectedly found someone beckoning to him. He fixed his eyes and found that it was Bao Yugang.
But the person next to Bao Yugang made him feel a sudden, because he saw Zhuang Siping, it seems that Bao Yugang is with Zhuang Siping?
The strangeness did not show, Xia Yu showed a warm smile and strode towards Bao Yugang.
"Lao Bao, Lao Huo, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Wang, good afternoon!"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Xia!"
Xia Yu shook hands with the four people and greeted each other, then looked at Liu Shaoquan who looked like a scholar and asked with a smile.
"Excuse me, this gentleman?"
Liu Shaoquan, who had thoughts in his heart, filled with enthusiastic smiles, and shook hands with Xia Yu and said, "Hello Mr. Xia, I am Liu Shaoquan, from the capital, and I am the dean of the Palace Museum."
Xia Yu suddenly understood, and somehow knew why Zhuang Siping, Bao Yugang and others were together. He secretly said that there was some trouble in his heart.
It's just that he looks as usual, smiles and greets: "It turned out to be Dean Liu, lucky to meet!"
At this time, Huashengshi simply answered two questions and promised to be interviewed again when he came out. After dismissing the reporter, he walked out of the auction hall and was about to walk up the stairs to the third floor to meet the "Yongle" Dadian.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but Zhuang Siping was near the stairs.
Therefore, Huashengshi inevitably came to Zhuang Siping, Xia Yu and others.
Hua Shengshi also noticed Zhuang Siping and recognized the opponent who was just now, but the hot gaze beside Zhuang Siping made him a little uncomfortable.
However, Xia Yu was here, and he was not happy to leave. He was not afraid of something, so he walked to Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, shall I go up first?"
At this time, Zhuang Siping immediately asked: "Mr. Xia, do you know each other?"
Xia Yu smiled calmly and nodded, and generously introduced to them: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Hua Shengshi, the owner of the Kowloon Cultural Museum."
"Old Hua, this is Mr. Zhuang Siping, chairman of Nanyang Commercial Bank."
"You should have met Mr. Bao and Mr. Huo."
"This is Mr. Wang Kuancheng, chairman of Wei Dahua Group."
"This is Mr. Liu Shaoquan, the director of the Palace Museum."
Hua Shengshi smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one.
Although everyone said it was good, Zhuang Siping and Liu Shaoquan were in a bad mood.
Just because the name of Huashengshi is the owner of the Kowloon Cultural Museum.
Still Zhuang Siping asked, "Mr. Hua, I have been in Xiangjiang for so long, and I have only heard that there is a fragrance in Kowloon. I don't know where your museum is?"
Hua Shengshi smiled and replied: "Mr. Zhuang hasn't heard of it. It's normal, because our museum will be open to the public in a few days. The address is near Kowloon Bay in Kwun Tong District, Kowloon."
Zhuang Siping asked again: "Then your museum was built by the Hong Kong government or?"
With that said, he looked at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu smiled calmly: "Mr. Zhuang, this museum is my private museum and has nothing to do with the Hong Kong government."
"The day after tomorrow, which is April 3, is the opening day of the Kowloon Cultural Museum. I originally planned to post an invitation to you tomorrow. Now that I met, I will tell you in person that I will send the invitation later. ."
Hearing what Xia Yu said, Bao Yugang who was listening to the side laughed loudly: "A Yu, I didn't expect you to secretly build a museum. Congratulations, I will be there the day after tomorrow!"
"I must be there too!"
Huo Yingdong also said with a smile.
Wang Kuancheng and Zhuang Siping smiled and said hello, but their smiles seemed a little reluctant, but their hopes were greatly reduced.
Liu Shaoquan also realized that hope was gradually diminishing, but he was not reconciled!
So he directly asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, is the 122 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" yours now?"
Xia Yu nodded: "Yes!"
Liu Shaoquan immediately asked again: "I have an unrelenting request. I wonder if I can transfer the national treasure to the Palace Museum? We will compensate you with the money. What do you think?"
After speaking, Liu Shaoquan looked straight at Xia Yu with anticipation in his eyes.
Xia Yu's smile gradually faded, looked at Liu Shaoquan, then looked at Zhuang Siping, Bao Yugang and others.
Xia Yu has some inconvenience to say, Huasheng Shi will not have any scruples.
"Yongle Dadian" is his heart and soul, and it is theirs. When it is put out for auction, it is a cutscene, and he will not be taken out if he is killed, even if the opponent is the Palace Museum!
If before meeting Xia Yu, the Palace Museum found him and asked him to donate his entire treasure pavilion, he would readily agree.
But now is different. Since he is in charge of the Kowloon Cultural Museum, he will only find a way to hug the good things at home, how can he send them out again?
In order to build the Kowloon Cultural Museum well, he secretly made up his mind to be an iron cock.
Not even if it is the Palace Museum now!
Therefore, he immediately spoke out and said resolutely: "Dean Liu, it is difficult for you to be strong. Our museum will open the day after tomorrow. I just announced in the lobby that the "Yongle Dadian" for auction will belong to the Kowloon Cultural Museum. If the treasure of the town hall is transferred to you, the sign of our museum will be smashed without standing up!"
"For this museum, Mr. Xia invested more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars back and forth, and now he has taken "Yongle Dadian" as the treasure of the town hall at any cost. The purpose is to build a world-class museum for Xiangjiang and spread Chinese culture. Establishing the cultural confidence of Xiangjiang people and Southeast Asian Chinese, and creating a landmark tourist attraction for Xiangjiang, driving the tourism and economic development of Xiangjiang. This is a matter of benefiting Hong Kong and the people. The layout is very large. It is impossible to let us just because of you. Isn’t your plan ruined?"
Hearing Huashengshi's sonorous and powerful words, everyone present was all moved, but there was such an inside story unexpectedly.
Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong have lost the thought of speaking for Liu Shaoquan. It is not that they are not patriotic, but that Xia Yu himself is also for national justice. Although they have a heart for the motherland, after all, they are overseas and are regarded as overseas Chinese. One of the leaders must also be considered for overseas Chinese.
They have to support the Kowloon Cultural Museum.
There are so many national treasures in the Palace Museum. It already has the "Yongle Dadian". There are not a few that are comparable to the "Yongle Dadian". There are not many more items, but the Kowloon Cultural Museum does not necessarily have many. Well said, there must be a treasure of the town hall!
Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's mentality changed drastically, and Wang Kuancheng and Zhuang Siping also knew that there was little hope.
Seeing that Liu Shaoquan's face was very ugly and the atmosphere at the scene was so embarrassing, Xia Yu said: "There are more people here, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly."
"Okay, Mr. Xia, listen to your arrangements!"
Later, Xia Yu let people find Ren Decheng, and Ren Decheng arranged for an assistant to lead Xia Yu and the others to a large reception room on the fourth floor. Sotheby's auction house staff immediately provided fruit and tea.
Before Xia Yu spoke, Zhuang Siping said: "Mr. Xia, can you please let me explain the situation first?"
Xia Yu nodded and said, "Of course."
He said and made a please gesture.
Zhuang Siping pondered for a moment. After finishing his thoughts, he slowly said: "This is how it is, the news of the national treasure "Yongle Dadian" has spread to the mainland..."
Zhuang Siping vividly described how Liu Shaoquan sought funds from the ministry, and then came to Xiangjiang with a mission, and how to find them...
"Originally, when we came, we decided to shoot "Yongle Dadian" at all costs, but we learned that Mr. Hua is yours, so we thought it was not cheap for outsiders, so we thought of discussing it with you in private. Participate in the auction, that’s it now."
After Zhuang Siping finished speaking impartially, he looked at Liu Shaoquan.
Liu Shaoquan said immediately: "Mr. Xia, the "Yongle Dadian" is a national treasure. It was originally hidden in the Forbidden City, but a large part was lost when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. Then, the situation before the founding of the country was chaotic and another part was lost. "Yongle Dadian" is the whole of China. If the precious wealth of the nation is left overseas, it will be a pity for the entire nation."
After talking Liu Shaoquan looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes.
Xia Yu said to Liu Shaoquan with a serious expression: "Dean Liu, I can assure you with my personality that "Yongle Dadian" will never appear in other places when it enters the Kowloon Cultural Museum!"
Liu Shaoquan suddenly became anxious: "But Xia..."
Xia Yu immediately raised his voice and said, "Dean Liu, your worries are superfluous. This one hundred and twenty-two volumes of "Yongle Dadian" are the same whether they are in the Palace Museum or the Kowloon Cultural Museum. They have not been lost overseas. On the land of China!"
"In Xiangjiang is in China!"
In the last nine words, Xia Yu said loudly.
The entire reception room was completely quiet in an instant, and the needle dropped!
