Sotheby's auction house in Italy, I have to say that businessmen are very good at doing business. The timing of Sotheby's auction can be said to be just right.
What celebrities like most is to have some artistic packaging for themselves. What kind of artistic packaging is worth buying a real antique piece of art and saying that it is a tasteful and stylish piece of art?
What's more, many of the celebrities invited to the film festival are collectors. The film festival here has just ended, and anyone who has some time will come to such a high-end and stylish auction to take a look.
In addition, when Sotheby's invites guests, it can also say that you can come to Italy for a few days to see the film festival and travel, and then participate in the auction. This arrangement...
Yang Dongxu and Chen Hong walked into the auction site. They were surrounded by stars. Many star directors who had basically won awards at the film festival came today.
There were also many business celebrities from all walks of life. Originally, Yang Dongxu didn't have much interest in such an auction. This is a European film festival after all.
So Sotheby's chose to hold such an auction on the second day after the film festival. The main customers must be business celebrities, big stars and directors.
Therefore, it will definitely focus on some European art auctions, not Chinese antiques. Chinese antiques need to be promoted first, and it would be better if the event could be held in Hong Kong or Japan.
In the past two years, the price of Chinese antiques has been rising year by year. Every carefully prepared auction focusing on Chinese antiques has made these big auction houses a lot of money.
This is also where the impression that Chinese people have in the eyes of foreigners of being wealthy began. After all, it can easily cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions to buy a jar, calligraphy and painting.
These things are treasures in the eyes of Chinese people, but in the eyes of foreigners, even if they know they are antiques, they still feel that everyone in China is stupid and has too much money.
Coupled with the large number of Chinese tourists who later rushed out of the country to buy and buy, the impression that many Chinese tourists were stupid and easy to deceive was left to foreigners.
"Is there anything you are interested in?" Yang Dongxu was brought here by Chen Hong, so he basically didn't read the auction manual.
"There is a pink diamond." Chen Hong said.
Yang Dongxu nodded to see if he could win it later. Although it was not a specialized jewelry auction, it was a European auction. In addition to manuscripts by some well-known painters, famous European paintings and sculptures, gemstones are also a highlight of the auction here.
If it is an auction focusing on Chinese style, then in addition to calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain, gemstones will also be a small item. However, the main items in this small item will be jade, jade, etc., and no diamonds will be included.
"I'll buy it later." Chen Hong said.
This is undoubtedly a bit pretentious. If you really want to buy it yourself, you won't attract Yang Dongxu. Of course, this does not mean that Chen Hong has no money, or that she is unwilling to spend money and wants Yang Dongxu to buy it for her.
Chen Hong still holds the shares of Haina, and the annual dividends are unknown. She is definitely a rich woman comparable to Ran Feifei, and buying a pink diamond is really just a sprinkling of water.
But buying this thing for a man to give to a woman and buying it for herself are undoubtedly two different things. Although neither of them cares about the money, there is still a form.
Yang Dongxu's IQ is obviously online, "I'll raise the sign later. Your man is not short of money. I'll buy it later and find someone to give you a diamond ring."
"What are you talking about?" Chen Hong glared at Yang Dongxu angrily.
Although she must have been pleasantly surprised when she heard these words, Yang Dongxu patted his chest and talked like a nouveau riche about finding someone to give him a ring, which made her want to reach out and pinch the soft flesh on Yang Dongxu's waist.
"The big boss is willing to spend money to pick up women." A discordant voice sounded.
Yang Dongxu and Chen Hong looked sideways and saw a European girl wearing sunglasses sitting down on the seat next to Yang Dongxu.
"Weren't you kicked out of the house by your brother? Do you still have money to come to the auction?" Yang Dongxu looked surprised.
Chen Hong slapped him and told him to be more careful when he spoke.
Sitting next to him was none other than Dai'er. Dai'er and Chen Hong knew each other. After all, these women often get together and occasionally wander around the world.
What Dai'er just said was obviously a joke, and Yang Dongxu was not willing to suffer the consequences of the teasing, but his teasing undoubtedly exposed Dai'er's scars again.
"Yes, the poor are almost out of food, how about you take care of me, big boss?" After saying that, Dai'er moved closer to Yang Dongxu and raised her eyebrows in a demonstrative manner.
"My woman is sitting next to you, please control your words."
"What this means is that as long as your woman is no longer around..." Dai'er took off the sunglasses on her face and licked her lips provocatively.
The buddies in the back row were staring at him because Dai'er was tilting her head to tease Yang Dongxu. Her side face, red lips and little tongue made him couldn't help but feel his lower body suddenly tremble.
"Is she teasing your man again?" Yang Dongxu turned to Chen Hong, who was gloating about the show.
"Then go ahead. Don't worry, I won't mind. I'm not your wife. But if Feifei knows about this, who will she tell..." Chen Hong covered her mouth and chuckled.
He is very clear about the current Yang Dongxu. Not to mention that Dai'er still has the character of a tsundere princess and wants to be strong. Even if she is willing to bow her head and be coy, Yang Dongxu doesn't dare to accept her.
So since she knew nothing would happen, she naturally didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
"Are women so fierce now?" Yang Dongxu was speechless for a while when Chen Hong responded.
"Okay, don't be nice, it's starting from above." Chen Hong patted Yang Dongxu's shoulder and gestured to the auction table in front.
However, although he was teasing Yang Dongxu, it was just teasing. The arm holding Yang Dongxu in his arms showed no intention of letting go.
If Zhuo Qing'er sat next to Yang Dongxu and hugged Yang Dongxu's other arm, Chen Hong would not have any objection. As for Dai'er... this is obviously not possible.
Dai'er obviously knew the propriety in this, so she joked a few words and never mentioned it again, let alone hugged Yang Dongxu's arm. The relationship between the two had not reached this point.
The auction started with a very good appetizer, manuscripts of Van Gogh's early paintings. It's just that the manuscripts are not finished paintings. Some manuscripts are even just a few strokes, without even the general shape of the painting. It's more like swiping a few times to feel the feel before painting.
But even so, this thing is still quite popular in Europe. If some of these drawings can be proven to be linked to a world-famous painting, the price will be even more expensive.
"Are you interested in this sketch?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking as he watched Dai'er raise her cards several times.
"It's not really a bad interest, I just want to make some investments." Dai'er said.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded. He knew that Dai'er had a lot of money recently, but he didn't expect that she would choose these artworks and antiques as investment objects.
But what I have to say is that this woman has a very accurate investment vision. With the development of the world economy, there are more and more wealthy people. Things in the art market have indeed increased in price year after year, and some have even doubled in price compared to before.
This is not the time when the value of these works of art is the highest. In a few years, after 2010, the works at these art auctions will be crazy.
Some paintings, calligraphy, and porcelain are priced in the tens of millions, and some even exceed hundreds of millions. Some are bought for real collections, while others are bought in the name of a company, which not only allows tax avoidance, but also allows the company to sell to individuals for 1 yuan. For example, the boss of the company who sold it to this company kept doing all kinds of dirty tricks.
The money Dai'er has on hand now is not obtained from some investment dividends, but from fighting for the family property with his brother as Yang Dongxu said just now.
Dale did not take any of the fixed property of the Spencer family, including the horse farm that had previously belonged to her, and she returned it to the family.
However, she received a large amount of cash compensation, and in the future, his brother would turn a blind eye to the use of the Spencer family's name to do things.
To sum up, Del took the money and left. On the surface, everyone is still a family, and she is still the princess of the Spencer family. She can rely on the Spencer family to do anything, but it is only a backing. She has no equity in all the assets of the Spencer family, let alone inheritance rights.
It's unclear whether Dai'er made a profit or suffered a big loss.
Excluding the considerable amount of cash compensation, if Del can borrow the name of the Spencer family and the resources left by some elders, she can find her own way.
Then this choice must be profitable. After all, it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. The banner of the Spencer family can help her with a lot of troubles now.
If Dai'er doesn't have that ability, and she can accomplish nothing without the qualifications to inherit the family, then this choice will only win her a pension, which is a huge loss. After all, the Spencer family's assets have always been valuable.
But now it seems that Dai'er's choice is not bad. No matter where she gets the benefits from Yang Dongxu, she uses family resources to help China BMW open up the European and American car markets.
Or become the overseas consultant of Yang Jiayan, and cooperate with Bai Qian on cosmetics research and development and cosmetics brand operation. She has made a lot of money in the past few years, and has used the resources of the Spencer family even more than her brother who completely inherited the family business.
At the same time, connections and favors require frequent exchanges for mutual benefit. For example, take the resources and contacts Dai'er had used to help her do things.
Not only did she benefit a lot, but the people who helped her also gained a lot. In this way, Dai'er had her own network of contacts. So now, in addition to the title of Princess of the Spencer family, she is also considered the number one figure in the London business community.
After all, like her brother, she has complete control over the assets in her hands. Working with her can make a profit. Now some people who are willing to cooperate with her are no longer just doing it for the sake of the Spencer family.
