Jirui Antique Auction Company is not the largest antique auction company in Kyoto, but it is the most famous.
In the past two years, this company became famous after auctioning a total of 5 bronzes from the late Shang and Zhou dynasties, with the highest auction price exceeding 500 million yuan, totaling over 1 billion yuan.
Since then, most antique auctions have been held in this company. This time, five more bronzes appeared in the auction items promoted by the company. The specific age can be traced back to the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty. Only the red copper elixir furnace has no clear information.
There are still three hours until the auction starts at 8 pm, and many social celebrities, socialites, and CEOs of listed companies have already arrived. There is naturally no shortage of public figures on such an occasion. Naturally, they would not dare to participate in the auction. It is to attract investment for the cities under their respective jurisdictions.
Generally, they will attend such large-scale auctions, charity fairs, or some high-end events. If officials dare to participate in the auction, the only ones who represent the country's cultural relics bureau.
This time, people from the Kyoto General Administration of Cultural Heritage came here just for those five bronzes. In fact, many of these national treasures were lost abroad during the late Qing Dynasty. Each one is priceless and irreplaceable. However, to this day, countless treasures are still lost in museums abroad.
This should be a national tragedy for China. I am afraid it is hopeless to take it all back.
Everyone in the venue was wearing suits or exquisite evening gowns. Ji Linyue, who arrived first, was wearing a black professional suit due to her previous work, which seemed out of place for the occasion.
But no one present dared to look down upon her.
The interview that declared war on the world a few months ago made everyone present get to know this strange woman who was just starting out.
Among the many big guys present, there are many who have cooperated with foreign countries, especially companies in country M. Most of them have been oppressed by technology and politics, and even had to make corresponding compromises when they were monopolized by technology.
This is a pain for many entrepreneurs in China, and there is nothing that can be done about it. Whoever has the technology has the right to speak and the right to set the price. Therefore, many large domestic companies are now gradually starting to move towards scientific research. Roads and related investments are also increasing.
For a while, many celebrities gathered around, firstly to see if there was any cooperation with Tianlan Group, and secondly, Ji Linyue, even in formal clothes and without any makeup, was a great beauty in her own right, standing there. It is a beautiful scenery, far more elegant than those social ladies.
"Chief Ji, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Old guys like us don't have the courage like you..."
"Director Zhao is being humble. No matter what, the country is lucky to have seniors like you supporting us."
"Chairman Ji, I wonder if Tianlan Group's 5G technology can cooperate with our Zhongyan Institute?"
"Dr. Wang's research institute has long been a famous name. Dr. Wang is the best at unmanned driving technology. If Mr. Wang is interested in cooperating, Lin Yue will be waiting at Tianlan."
Ji Linyue has seriously considered this point. Unmanned driving will be an inevitable trend in the future, and the only thing that can make the unmanned driving system safer and smoother is 5G technology. There is room for cooperation between the two parties.
"Dr. Ji, I will ask you to call me niece. Yuemei Company under Tianlan, as long as niece is willing to nod, we will support you all the way through online channels."
"Then Linyue also calls you uncle. Don't worry, Uncle Chen. Your e-commerce is also well-known at home and abroad, especially how many people have been facilitated by mobile payment... Don't worry, Tianlan is also considering e-commerce channels recently. But this will inevitably affect tens of thousands of Yuemei stores, and we are still considering the balance between the two.
Of course, Uncle Chen, you have often started from scratch for so many years. If you have any suitable suggestions, Linyue hopes you will give them. "
"Hahaha... easy to say... easy to say..."
"..."
And so on, one after another, the big guys were discussing cooperation, and Ji Linyue responded well.
After taking over a company as big as Tianlan, Ji Linyue's daily time was almost fully arranged by Shen Xiaoqi, who literally trained her from a novice who knew nothing to a veteran who has been in the mall for many years...
Some were discussing cooperation, and some were unhappy with Ji Linyue.
No, after seeing off the last batch of corporate bosses, the children of the business family headed by Su Yong of the Su family immediately surrounded Ji Linyue without giving her time to rest.
Among these people, Ji Linyue saw two acquaintances. It was Chen Handong and Jiang Wu who had followed Zhang Tianhua to the Kunlun Military Region to compete in martial arts. One was known as the Ghost Sword, and the other was known as the Iron Tower.
In a competition that year, the two of them impressed Ji Linyue a lot. If it weren't for the huge difference in their training systems and the same level, Ji Linyue wouldn't be sure to defeat them at that time.
"Ji Linyue, how are you considering the 30% contract we passed on to you regarding the 30% increase in the price of raw materials for nearly half of Yuemei's medical materials? If you don't agree, we will be out of stock in less than three months."
Ji Linyue ignored Su Yong and ignored him. She looked at Chen Handong and Jiang Wu and said, "Brothers, stay well!"
However, Jiang Wu and Chen Handong's expressions tightened slightly. For some reason, they turned away and did not look at Ji Linyue. This made Ji Linyue frown slightly.
However, Ji Linyue didn't think much about it. Since they were from an ancient martial arts family, and Zhang Haoyu was now leading the ancient martial arts family, they were naturally not friends, at least they were in different camps.
If the two of them help Zhang Haoyu deal with Tianlan, they will naturally be enemies. If they don't help, no one on Tianlan's side will bother them.
The two of them didn't respond, and Ji Linyue didn't want to have any more entanglements with people like Su Yong. She looked at Su Yong coldly and said, "If you don't want Tianlan's order, I think more people will.
I might as well tell you that Tianlan has gradually achieved self-sufficiency in the matter of raw materials. If you are honest enough and have your own profits, and insist on confronting each other, then let's see who can resist. "
After saying that, Ji Linyue turned around and left, sitting in front of a sofa at the door, lowering her head and playing with her mobile phone. Her attitude of rejecting others from thousands of miles away immediately made Su Yong and others furious.
It's just that the current situation doesn't make it easy to attack directly, so I can only hold it in myself.
Despite this, after Su Yong and others left, many corporate bosses and people from official circles still came to Ji Linyue to discuss cooperation or invest. Ji Linyue did not refuse, and actively cooperated with Ji Linyue. They talk.
The reason for this is that Ji Linyue is also paving the way for Chen Wenya.
When she knew that Chen Wenya and Hu Mingxian came together, she made this plan. After all, no matter how big Tianlan is, it cannot cover all industries. There is the possibility of cooperation between every industry. She should contact these corporate bosses as soon as possible. With a good relationship, Chen Wenya will feel a lot more relaxed in the future.
This is what she will do for Chen Wenya before she and Hu Mingxian leave.
Time passed slowly in such an atmosphere, and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening unknowingly. Under the hospitality of Jirui staff, the people present began to move to the auction venue upstairs one after another.
Just as Ji Linyue was looking forward to it, a BMW X7 stopped in front of the gate, and Hu Mingxian, who had changed into a suit, got out of the car.
Looking at Ji Linyue who had already run over, Hu Mingxian smiled apologetically and said: "There is a traffic jam on the road, please wait."
"No! It's just that there are a lot of people to deal with, and I'm a little tired." Ji Linyue smiled tiredly, and pulled Hu Mingxian to go inside: "Hurry up, finish early, go back early, I really want to take a hot bath."
"good!"
In response, Hu Mingxian walked and looked at the various corporate bosses in the venue, and he could imagine what Ji Linyue was going through.
When he looked at Ji Linyue again, he couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart. He might not be able to cope with it, but Ji Linyue bore it for him.
After the two entered the venue, they sat down in the middle row of seats. Ten minutes later, after some opening remarks by Jirui staff, the auction officially began.
There are not many items in this antique auction, only 30 items, including the 5 bronzes and the red copper furnace. The first 24 items are mostly porcelain from the Ming Dynasty and later, and only three are jades, which are sold by various companies. The boss shoots away.
The transaction price was basically between tens of millions, and only one piece of porcelain was auctioned for 36.8 million, which ignited a wave of atmosphere at the scene.
Many big guys stayed put, including those from Su Yong's business family. Their goals were all focused on the five bronzes.
These five bronze objects are a bronze sword three feet long and one palm wide, a three-legged wine amulet, an ancient bronze mirror, a bronze gong and a bronze square lei with gluttonous patterns. lei), each piece has a history of more than 3,000 years. It not only has high archaeological and collection value, but also reflects the splendid Chinese civilization.
The first three of these five bronzes were bought for 300 million, 350 million, and 400 million by Dong Chen, Dong Wang, and Dong Zhao, who had talked to Ji Linyue before.
The bronze goat cup was auctioned off by the Ye family for 700 million, and the last one was auctioned off by Su Yong for nearly 800 million.
Regarding these five bronzes, Ji Linyue and Hu Mingxian did not take action. Firstly, this was not their goal. Secondly, these bronzes unearthed in the country were explicitly prohibited from being sold abroad, and they were not allowed to be owned or carried. Go abroad.
Naturally, they are not worried that these five bronzes will be lost abroad. Even if two pieces are taken away by the Ye family and the Su family, the state will make relevant registrations and even conduct regular inspections to prevent the owner from making a fake. , let’s trade the civet cat for the prince and sell the real thing.
Naturally, the three chairman of the board are no exception.
When the last red copper alchemy furnace was brought up by a female waiter, Hu Mingxian and Ji Linyue were stunned for a moment, and then they became ecstatic. They looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
