The auction started, mainly selling some European works of art, such as some early paintings by Picasso and Van Gogh, as well as manuscripts and so on.
Then there are some statues. European and American statues are not just metal statues. Some stones and even plaster statues actually have high artistic value, and then there are some gems and the like.
Gemstones are basically various colored gemstones and diamonds. Jade, jade and the like are actually not very popular in Europe and the United States. As for porcelain, Chinese calligraphy and painting, not much came out during the entire auction.
In fact, you can tell from the guests invited today that this is an auction focusing on European and American art and antiques. Because there are not many guests with Asian faces invited to this auction.
Some of them were probably temporarily pulled over to watch the fun like Yang Dongxu. The only few Orientals who actually came to participate in the auction were also selling European and American works of art, not porcelain or Chinese calligraphy and painting.
"Would you like me to get you a member of Daweide Auction? They will definitely notify you when the time comes when they are afraid of buying Oriental Art." After the auction, seeing that Yang Dongxu watched the whole process and didn't sell much, Tuoyi He spoke.
"No need to bother. In fact, I am not very interested in shareholders. You also know that I collected a group of European antiques when I was in the former Soviet Union, and later I also collected a lot in our country in the early years.
Taking them all out would probably be enough to open a museum, so I have no interest in the collection on one side. If there really are any masterpieces of antiques, I would definitely know about the auction even if I am not a member. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Yes." Troy nodded with a smile, then patted his shoulder and showed a smile that every man knows: "Would you like me to notify the manor to help you clean up? After all, staying in a hotel is not that convenient."
"Stop being such a gossip." Yang Dongxu smiled and slapped him.
Then he said goodbye to Roman and others with a smile, and Dai'er had already walked over.
"You really have a wide range of friends." Dai'er said with a smile as she looked at Troy and the others leaving.
"You and Natasha are so familiar, don't tell me that you don't know the relationship between me and them." Yang Dongxu shrugged.
"It's not a gentleman to expose others." Dai'er stepped forward and took Yang Dongxu's arm.
Yang Dongxu wanted to struggle, but he stopped when his arm touched something soft. If it was just suspicion before, now he is basically sure that Dai'er and himself are so close, there must be some purpose.
Especially since no one knew his identity before, but now many people know that he is married and seems to have an unclear relationship with Princess Samsung.
Dai'er still showed such closeness to him, obviously her purpose was very impure. Of course, this is not pure, and I definitely don't want to push him down. Although he feels that he is quite handsome, he is not narcissistic to this extent. This impurity must have some other purpose, but he hasn't guessed what it is yet.
"People who are too smart will live a very tiring life." The two people walked forward, and Dai'er caught a thoughtful look in his eyes after he gave up struggling.
"Then you can choose to live a simpler life." Yang Dongxu responded.
Dai'er pursed her lips and said nothing. She even heard the irony in this sentence. Because she can indeed choose to live a simpler life, but what she is doing now is undoubtedly not to live a simple life.
This is undoubtedly Yang Dongxu's counterattack against her insistence on maintaining such an unclear and intimate relationship in front of others.
The two of them left the auction house and went to have dinner together. What happened next made Yang Dongxu even more speechless. Dai'er seemed to know what he had guessed, so she acted even more unscrupulously.
Not only did she behave very intimately with him during the meal, but she even invited him to sit in her home after the meal. This is not a hint, this is Chiguoguo’s explicit statement.
But this makes it clear that if Yang Dongxu goes, nothing will happen to Dai'er. As long as his head is not a pig's head, this is something that can be thought of casually.
"We can start talking about the negotiation." When they were separated, Dai'er approached him in the parking lot and said very ambiguously in his ear.
Then he waved to him very coolly and got into his car.
"Slap a sweet date, or something else?" Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand and rubbed his ears. Dai'er was too close just now, and her lips almost touched his ears, which made his ears itchy.
With this doubt, Yang Dongxu returned to Tuoyi's manor.
The next morning while still having breakfast, Matthew sat across from him.
"In other words, although this Dai'er is the fourth heir to the title of Spencer family, she has a very good relationship with the royal family. Therefore, she is still very threatening, even though she has behaved very harmlessly over the years?" Yang Dongxu chewed his mouth. There was a thoughtful look in Bacon's eyes.
The things Matthew investigated were not very detailed, but it was enough. After all, it is impossible to investigate this matter in too detail, otherwise it would not be a conspiracy theory but stupidity.
But as long as you have a general tendency, the rest can basically be done by brainstorming.
The Spencer family is the princess’s natal family, but because of the death of my princess and the relationship between the princess and the prince before her death. The relationship between the princess's natal family and the royal family is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface.
What's more important is that the Spencer family is obviously not a soft life that everyone can control, although the biggest one in Britain is definitely the royal family. But the Spencer family is also very powerful, otherwise Yang Dongxu would not expect Dai'er to help him break the barriers in the European and American automobile markets.
You must know that the formation of barriers in the European and American automobile markets, or those supporters, are not a good thing. There are rich and powerful people who want power. The Spencer family is not strong enough. How is it possible for others to make way for them just with the title of a noble?
However, the royal family is definitely the largest, so Dai Er and William seem to have a good relationship, and William is the first heir to the royal family. So her threat is indeed not small, and it is normal for her brothers and sisters to be afraid of her.
After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The more this happens among the upper class, the more obvious it becomes. What's more, the royal family is not even their enemy.
"Another princess who wants to break up the family?" This was the first possibility that Yang Dongxu thought of.
After all, Dai'er felt self-defiled by being so close to him. Of course he would not admit that he was the source of the pollution. But by acting like this in public, what Dai'er wants is definitely to cause self-degradation.
The nastiness among nobles is actually ten times or even a hundred times that of ordinary people. But these are all secret things. If Dai'er brings them to the surface, it's naturally her fault. The family must have objections to her.
Coupled with her own threat to the succession, if she proposes cooperation with him as a breakup fee for leaving the family at this time, it is really possible to succeed.
Of course, the premise is that she is willing to hand over the redeemed Samsung shares and then leave with the BMW shares. After all, everyone knows the value of Samsung. What the hell is a BMW? For the sake of your family, this 'share of a promising company' is yours.
"Probably not entirely, there are other reasons." Yang Dongxu shook his head.
Dai'er is different from Li Fuzhen. Li Fuzhen only chose to separate the family in the first place. One was because he had just broken up and was frustrated and didn't want to stay in Korea. One is because I had an inexplicable relationship with Yang Dongxu before.
So when she was most helpless. Because I felt a sense of security in Yang Dongxu, I went to China in ignorance, and then let nature take its course and broke up with Samsung Succession.
Dai'er obviously has no affection for Yang Dongxu, and perhaps like her brothers and sisters, she is not optimistic about the future development of BMW Motor Company.
Given the choice for her, her first choice would probably be Samsung shares. Therefore, Dai'er's current choice seems to be the same as that of Li Fuzhen, but it is just the same in appearance, and there is no similarity at all on the inside.
What's more important is that Dai'er's ambition is obviously greater than that of Li Fuzhen. In other words, her desire for control is simply not comparable to that of Li Fuzhen. Li Fuzhen would voluntarily give up her inheritance rights, but Yang Dongxu had no idea from Dai'er that she would wrong her own people for the sake of brotherly and sister harmony and family harmony.
"Do you want me to investigate further?" Matthew looked at his big boss and said hesitantly.
"Forget it, this kind of thing is taboo in the first place, and it's just right to investigate it to this point. If you go deeper, you will probably offend people, no matter what they want to do.
As long as they help us open the market, we are doing our own business and cannot afford to interfere with their affairs. "Yang Dongxu waved his hand.
Britain is undoubtedly a country with strict classes, and it is taboo for civilians to investigate the affairs of nobles. What's more, it's a powerful nobleman like Spencer.
As long as the other party shows a slight displeasure towards Matthew and Yang Dongxu, they don't need to take action themselves. It is estimated that many people came forward to trouble them. So not blending is the best option.
"The domestic negotiating team and the Italian negotiating team will arrive in London soon. You will also join us and we will have a meeting. Make the basic bottom line and principles of cooperation clear, and then you will watch the negotiating team and Spencer Family talk." Yang Dongxu said.
No matter what medicine Dai'er sells in her gourd, cooperation is the most important thing.
"I understand, do I need to find a law firm?" Matthew asked.
Negotiation is not just about contracts, lawyers are also the most important part of it. Even many important clauses require the participation of lawyers, such as taxation, which is the most important in European and American societies. Having a lawyer involved will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.
BMW's main sales locations are concentrated in China, while Maserati can only be regarded as a good sports car company. But talking about cooperation with the Spencer family is obviously a step down. Therefore, it is necessary to hire a British law firm at a high price to participate in the negotiations.
Even many large-scale negotiations are not carried out by the company itself, but an intermediary company is hired to tackle the problem. For example, the current Internet Queen of eBay rose to the top because she helped her company and other partners complete several very beautiful merger and acquisition cases.
"I have a professional team of lawyers who will be involved when the time comes."
