Chapter 651 Bottom Line

The Chinese art auction held by this auction house in Paris invited more than 100 Chinese collectors from all over the world, and the total number of participants in the auction was less than 200.

It can be said that if all the Chinese in the venue leave, then the auction will come to an end.

No matter how much Chinese people like infighting and how ununited they usually are, after Zhuang Rui's words, they stood up one after another, followed Zhuang Rui, and protested to the auction organizing committee with silent actions.

Even if there are some people who don't want to leave, they can only follow in the face of the general trend. It is only a few tens of meters from the auction table to the door. Walking behind Zhuang Rui in the front, more than 100 people have followed.

The flash in the venue kept flashing. The special auction of Chinese art in Paris was protested by Chinese officials, and the matter was also concerned by many media. Many media units sent reporters to pay attention to the auction.

At the scene, there were not only the media in Paris, but also the news media from China. After the end of the first auction, they made such a big gimmick, which undoubtedly made these people engaged in journalism people excited like chicken blood.

"Hey, man, let me, you have occupied my place..." A man holding the camera was pushing in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I came earlier than you..."

The person in front of me is not willing to give in at all. This is big news. It will definitely be on the headlines of major newspapers tomorrow. The photos taken by myself occupying a good position will definitely be sold at a good price. Er, this is a freelance journalist,

"I'm sorry, please let me..."

At this time, Zhuang Rui, who was walking in the front of the crowd, was blocked by a group of reporters. Countless flashes flashed in front of him, which made Zhuang Rui a little irritable. He was angry. Why did he attract so much attention?

"Sir, I'm a reporter from the London Thai 50. May I have an exclusive interview with you?"

"Hey, buddy, that's good to say. Leave a contact number, and I'll give you an exclusive interview later..."

"Hello, sir, I'm a reporter from CNN in the United States. May I ask you a few simple questions?"

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the French Evening News. Can I ask you a few questions about what you just said?"

For a moment, countless microphone recording pens reached Zhuang Rui's mouth. Some reporters who were far away even climbed to the back of their colleagues in front of him. The scene was extremely chaotic,

"Damn, you should also have a good health as a reporter..."

Zhuang Rui looked at these people in front of him speechlessly. He was a little at a loss. Originally, he was just trying to be happy, but he didn't expect to provoke such a big disturbance. Looking at this momentum, I'm afraid that before tomorrow, the whole world will know what happened today.

"Da Damn, my God, if these things are reported by reporters, it will be a big scandal...

..."

Richard, who had just been confused by Zhuang Rui's reaction, suddenly reacted, but he had no way, and the situation was out of his control.

"Fire George immediately. I don't know what the pig said to that man?"

Poor lawyer George, he just followed the boss's instructions, but at this point, the unlucky guy can only be him.

"It's over, this auction is completely over..."

Richard, the owner of the auction house, sat back on the sofa with a pale face. Richard didn't expect that the Chinese, who had not been very united, would be incited by the young man's words, which was simply better than the words of Jefferson, the auctioneer.

To organize an auction, a lot of work will be done in the early stage. The printing and publicity of the auction will cost a lot of money. Richard has high expectations for this auction, and he has spent hundreds of thousands of euros in the early stage. Now it seems that he is likely to lose all his money.

In addition, for those owners who provide auctions, he also has to compensate for the losses, because he has signed agreements for some auctions. If he can't sell them at a certain lowest price, he will eat them by himself. In this way, Richard's losses will be greater.

"Richard, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Let's think about how to appease these Chinese people first?"

Sitting next to Richard is Daniel, the partner of the auction house. Handi, although Daniel was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat at this time, he finally put forward a constructive opinion.

"Yes, yes, Daniel, inform the bodyguard quickly and ask these Chinese to go to the conference room to control the situation...

..."

After hearing Daniel's words, Richard jumped up like a dream. Today's event was like a nightmare for him. He had worked in an auction house for decades and saw a large-scale buyer exit for the first time.

After giving instructions on the walkie-talkie, Richard and Daniel also hurried downstairs and now expect Jefferson to control the scene? That was almost impossible, because poor Jefferson had broken his voice on the stage at this time, and no one paid attention to him.

Just when the owner of the auction house was trying to calm down the trouble, the auction hall was very lively, at least 10

A number of reporters from various countries surrounded Zhuang Rui, and the questions raised in different languages almost blew Zhuang Rui's head up.

"Say less, it's better not to say a word..."

Huang Fuyun, who stood beside Zhuang Rui, was a lawyer. He knew that no matter what Zhuang Rui said, he would be distorted by these reporters. He quickly reminded Zhuang Rui in his ear,

"I'm sorry, no comment..."

After hearing Huang Fuyun's words, Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered a line he often saw in the movie and said it by the way, but those reporters were not so easy to fool, and they still held the microphone and asked questions.

"Mr. Zhuang, I heard that you are the director of the National Jade Association in China, so does your behavior today represent the official opinion of China?"

The reporter of the French Evening News who just asked a question raised a malicious question.

"Oh, I don't think you understand the composition of the Jade Association. It's just a non-governmental organization, and my behavior only represents individuals..."

After hearing the man's words, Zhuang Rui couldn't help replying. Huang Fuyun behind him was sweating coldly, but it was good that Zhuang Rui was not trapped by the man.

"Then why are there so many people behind you?" When the reporter saw Zhuang Rui's mouth, he asked indomitably.

"You have to ask them this question. I would like to represent me personally. I'm sorry, please let me, you are in my way..."

Because at this time, the bodyguard in the field, who had just been dumbfounded, finally received instructions from the bosses to stop the reporters and try to save some impact as much as possible.

The bosses of the auction house know that once this matter is publicized, it will be a very heavy blow to their reputation.

No matter what the reason is, buyers from the whole country or region leave collectively, and the mistake must be in the auction house.

And the fact is the same. It is indeed extremely stupid for Jefferson to inform the organizing committee to send a lawyer to warn Zhuang Rui.

Obviously, the auctioneer did not pay enough attention to Zhuang Rui at the beginning. When they thought about it, they sent a lawyer to warn the young man that he would definitely get a satisfactory answer, but the development of the matter was completely contrary to their imagined results.

In a small way, it hurts the feelings of Chinese buyers. In a big way, it is that France refuses to recognize history, which hurts the feelings of the people of China and France. Richard, the owner of the auction house, can't bear this responsibility.

"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang, please stay. I sincerely apologize to you for the inappropriate words of some people, and I hope we can communicate. This should be a misunderstanding..."

Richard, who had just come down from the private room on the second floor, stood in front of Zhuang Rui with a sweat and made an extremely sincere expression. He had never bent down. At this time, he also bent down to Zhuang Rui and even pleaded.

"Mr. Zhuang, I believe that what happened just now is just the private behavior of some people, which does not represent the auction house. I think we can sit down and talk about it. We will definitely compensate and apologize for the damage caused by you...

..."

Daniel's attitude was also respectful, which surprised many auction house employees present. The two bosses appeared at the same time to plead with a young man, which they had never seen before.

George, a lawyer who is about 10 meters away from Zhuang Rui and others, has an incredible expression. What he said is authorized by them. How can it become his personal behavior now?

"Daniel, you are responsible for your words. I am the lawyer hired by your bank. All my remarks are authorized by you. Let me go, I will sue you..."

"Security guard, take him out, he can't represent our auction house..."

Daniel didn't wait for George to finish his words, and immediately the bodyguard next to him pulled him out, and George's voice still echoed in everyone's ears.

"Are you two?"

Zhuang Rui looked at the two middle-aged people in front of him with some doubt. In Zhuang Rui's eyes, the scene just now was just a farce.

"I'm Richard, the chairman of this auction house. This is Daniel. I think only our words can represent the will of the auction house. Mr. Zhuang, friends, please go to the conference room first. We can give you a satisfactory answer..."

Richard took the microphone just handed over by the employee and shouted loudly to the crowd in front of him.
