Chapter 585 Auction House Incident

After returning from Henry, an older man was waiting at the door of Meng Qian's hotel room. He was Wen Dewei, an expert on Chinese cultural relics.

"Professor Wen, why are you standing here waiting for me?" Meng Qian hurried forward.

Wen Dewei waved his hand to indicate that it's okay, "Mr. Meng, you came here this time to buy the rat heads and rabbit heads, right?"

"Professor Wen, I'm here for the rat head and the rabbit head, but I won't buy them, we can't make this deal a success."

"As expected, Mr. Meng, I came here today to hope that you would not participate in this auction."

"Don't participate in the auction? Why?"

"Mr. Meng is a businessman after all, and he is such an influential businessman. If you take a photo of a mouse head and a rabbit head but don't buy them, it will somewhat affect your future international image."

Meng Qian opened the door with a smile, motioned Wen Dewei to enter the room and said, "Hey, why do I still think that's the case? Don't worry, Professor Wen. I don't even bother to do business with people who are on the side of the Pinault family on this issue." .”

"I can understand Mr. Meng's righteousness, but let us handle this matter. Mr. Meng's appearance in Paris this time has attracted a lot of media attention. Mr. Meng should not take the responsibility on himself.

In addition, we are still working hard. The person in charge of the Cultural Affairs Bureau has been negotiating with the Pino family in Paris for many days, and there may be room for them to withdraw the auction. "

Meng Qian shook his head, "We don't take such a big protest against the Pinault family seriously in Huaxia, and I don't give any hope. I have received Professor Wen's wishes. As for how to deal with this auction house, I have my own plans."

"Boss Meng."

Meng Qian indicated to Wen Dewei that there is no need to say more, "As far as I know, there are no less than a thousand Chinese people who gather in Paris to work hard on this matter, and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of netizens in China are paying attention to this matter. He is the chairman of the Dafeng Group, so it's possible that he is still hiding behind and acting like a turtle.

As you said, my presence has brought more attention to this incident. This is my influence, and I should make good use of my influence. "

Wen Dewei patted Meng Qian's shoulder and was speechless for a while, but Meng Qian stepped forward to comfort him, "Professor Wen, all the shame will pass, don't worry."

In the next few days, people kept coming to visit Meng Qian in different directions, but the purpose was to never let others take the mouse's head away, and to find an optimal solution as much as possible.

On the evening of February 25th, the special auction of "The Collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berger" at the Grand Palais in Paris was held as scheduled. Many people gathered inside and outside the Grand Palais in Paris, and Christie's auction house even specially set up a row of equipment for a live broadcast.

"I remember that none of Christie's previous auctions were broadcast live. What does this mean? Are you deliberately embarrassing us?"

"The Pinault family is awesome, WQTMLGB!"

"I fucking want to go over there and smash their desk!"

"Meng Qian, it's Meng Qian!"

More than half an hour before the auction started, Meng Qian appeared at the gate of the Grand Palais in Paris, and the reporters swarmed up, "Mr. Meng, are you participating in this auction to win the heads of rats and rabbits?"

"Mr. Meng, what do you think of this practice of the Pino family?"

"Mr. Meng, what's your budget today?"

A bunch of questions were immediately thrown out, and Meng Qian calmly responded, "The Pinault family has blatantly violated the spirit of relevant international conventions and the international consensus on the return of cultural relics to their country of origin, and blatantly damaged the cultural rights and national feelings of the Chinese people. condemn."

After Meng Qian finished speaking, he turned and left, and the world's major media rushed to publish articles. The media like this kind of topic.

Because of Meng Qian's words, the matter became more and more fermented. It was originally a grievance between China and France, and it ushered in more people who eat melons from other countries. Eating melons is a global attribute.

The opinions of netizens are also different. Some people think that the Pino family is indeed a robber and think this is wrong, but some people think that this is the way the world is. The weak deserve to be bullied, and they will not condemn some wrong behaviors.

In the Grand Palais in Paris, Henry enthusiastically shook hands with the guests present and chatted. When he saw Meng Qian, Henry still took the initiative to say hello, "Mr. Meng is here."

"Mr. Henry looks very good today."

"Such a beautiful night, of course, should be greeted in the best state." Henry deliberately looked at an area of ​​the venue when he said this. The people sitting in this area are all Chinese people, and their expressions are similar to those of other people. People are completely different, and there is no joy at all.

Meng Qian understood Henry's sarcasm, and showed a bright smile, "Mr. Henry is right, you should embrace this night in your best state."

The two shook hands again, and Meng Qian went to the Huaxia area.

Backstage at the Grand Palais in Paris, William, president of Christie's auction house, prepares his opening speech.

"Mr. William, someone is looking for you."

"Who is looking for me? I'm about to go on stage."

"You may have to take some time off."

"Um?"

Fifteen minutes later, when William was supposed to be on stage, everyone saw William's assistant running onto the stage with a strange expression, "I'm very sorry, due to some unexpected circumstances, the auction tonight will be delayed by one hour, I hope everyone understands. "

Everyone was puzzled, and the staff immediately shut down the live broadcast, which made the people who were watching the live broadcast even more curious.

"What's the matter? How did you turn off the live broadcast?"

"It feels like something big has happened, otherwise I wouldn't have shut down the live broadcast directly."

"Could it be that some grand thieves took out the mouse's head?"

"Fuck, I went upstairs to think about it together."

There are various speculations on the Internet. Time flies the fastest when gossiping. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the live broadcast suddenly started again, but the screen after it was still just everyone sitting there with all kinds of doubts. special place.

"The Henry of the Pinault family is gone." A sharp-eyed netizen noticed the difference.

"It's true, he was sitting next to that blonde beauty before, but now that seat is vacant."

"Look, someone is on stage."

It was William who was on stage this time. William maintained a smile, but his walk was obviously a little unnatural, "I'm very sorry for wasting everyone's time, because something unexpected happened just now.

Tonight's auction will be held as normal, but before we do, I need to take a few minutes of your time to introduce a friend here. "

After William turned sideways, a young man walked towards the stage amidst everyone's puzzled eyes.

"Meng Qian?" Everyone was dumbfounded now.

Meng Qian took the microphone from William and looked at the camera with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, and friends who are watching the live broadcast, good evening everyone.

I believe that some people know me and some don't, so I will introduce myself first.

My name is Meng Qian, the largest shareholder of Christie's auction house. "

"Wow~~~"

The scene was chaotic, and many people's minds went blank for a second or two. What kind of mysterious plot is this? Meng Qian bought Christie's?

But just a second or two later, more people came back to their senses and had extremely high doubts about Meng Qian's statement, especially the French entrepreneurs at the scene, who directly asked questions.

Because although the Pinault family, the largest shareholder of Christie's, does have less than 50% of the holdings, the shareholders of Christie's are basically French capital, and there is no reason for everyone to help Meng Qian cheat the Pinault family.

After all, the valuation of Jasic is only 20-3 billion rice gold, and it is only a few hundred million in the hands of these shareholders. For these several hundred million, to help Meng Qian make the Pino family so difficult to come down? In the future, if you look down and don't see those who look up, can you still be confused?

So no matter how you think about it, it is impossible. Unless God forcibly enlightens these shareholders, they will never believe Meng Qian's words.

Faced with doubts, Meng Qian calmly took out his mobile phone and signaled, "Everyone can read the latest news, the news about Kering Group."

Everyone hurriedly took out their mobile phones, and those who watched the live broadcast also opened search engines to search for Kering Group. Sure enough, Kering Group just broke a big news.

"Shocking: LVMH Group Holding Kering Group, the Pinault Family Is Involved in the Equity Vortex! "

LVMH Group, which is one of the world's three major luxury goods groups along with Kering and has been suppressing Kering Group, has cheated each other several times, and they are old rivals.

"How did the LVMH Group do it? This matter is not logical. The two companies know the bottom line. How could the LVMH Group take away so many shares of Kering Group without the Pinault family's knowledge?"

"That is to say, judging from the current situation, Henry was absolutely unaware of it before, but it is impossible for the LVMH Group to control the Kering Group without the knowledge of the Pinault family. It is unrealistic."

"It is indeed impossible for the LVMH Group to do this on its own, but if LVMH can find a large external capital, this matter is possible."

"As you said, it must be a large external capital, and it must be a large capital with a wide network of relationships. Which large capital is the LVMH group next to?"

"Hey, why don't you look up and look at the stage."

"."

"Is Dafeng Group very rich?"

"Didn't you read the news of this year's Forbes Global Rich List?"

"ha?"

"Meng Qian seems to be the second richest man in the world this year."

"Isn't this Meng Qian too ruthless? The Pino family sold a mouse's head and a rabbit's head, and he just smashed his family's fortune?"
