Chapter 1153: Just Do Business, Don’t Worry About Anything Else
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 some European and American artworks, not porcelain and Chinese calligraphy and paintings.
"Would you like me to get you a member of the Daweide auction? They will definitely notify you when they are afraid of buying Oriental art." The auction was over. 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 also collected a lot in our country in the early years.
Taking it 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 in the face.
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, she actually 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 them 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 Spencer family title, she still 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 much 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.
More importantly, the Spencer family is obviously not a soft life that everyone can control, although the biggest family in the UK is definitely the royal family. But the Spencer family is also very powerful, otherwise Yang Dongxu would not expect Dale to help him break the barriers of 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 good people. The existence of having money and power, the Spencer family is not strong enough, how can it be possible to let others give way with just a noble title?
However, it is certain that the royal family is the biggest, so Dale and William seem to have a good relationship, and William is the first-order heir to the royal family. Then her threat is indeed not small, and it is normal to be feared by her brothers and sisters at home.
After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Such things are more obvious among the upper class. What's more, the royal family is not their enemy.
"Another princess who wants to split the family?" This is the first possibility that Yang Dongxu thought of.
After all, Dale is so close to him, there is a feeling of self-pollution. Of course, he certainly does not admit that he is the source of pollution. But if she behaved like this in public, what Daier wanted must be to cause self-pollution.
Even if the filth among nobles is ten or even a hundred times that of ordinary people. But these are all things that happen in secret, it is naturally wrong for Daier to bring them to the surface, and the family must have opinions about her.
In addition to her own threat to the succession, if she proposed to cooperate with him as a breakup fee to leave the family at this time, it might really succeed.
Of course, the premise is that she is willing to hand over the exchanged Samsung shares and then leave with the BMW shares. After all, everyone knows the value of Samsung, what the hell is BMW? For the sake of the family, this "share of a very promising company" will belong to you.
"It shouldn't be all, there are other reasons." Yang Dongxu shook his head.
Daier is different from Li Fuzhen. The reason why Li Fuzhen chose to separate the family was that she was discouraged and didn't want to stay in Korea after the breakup. One was because she had an inexplicable feeling with Yang Dongxu before.
So when she was most helpless. Because she felt a sense of security in Yang Dongxu, she went to Huaxia in a daze, and then naturally broke up with the Samsung inheritance rights.
Dai'er obviously has no feelings for Yang Dongxu, and she may even be like her brothers and sisters, not optimistic about the future development of BMW.
If she were given a choice, she would probably choose Samsung shares first. Therefore, Dai'er's current choice seems to be the same as Li Fuzhen, but it is only similar in appearance, and there is no similarity at all in the inside.
More importantly, Dai'er's ambition is obviously greater than Li Fuzhen. Or her desire for control is not comparable to Li Fuzhen. Li Fuzhen will voluntarily give up her inheritance rights, but Yang Dongxu did not feel from Dai'er that she would wrong herself for the harmony of brothers and sisters and family harmony.
"Do you want me to investigate further?" Matthew looked at his big boss and hesitated and said.
"Forget it, this kind of thing is taboo, and it's just right to investigate to this point. If we go deeper, we will probably offend people, no matter what they want to do.
As long as they help us open up the market, we will do our own business and can't afford to get involved in their family's affairs." Yang Dongxu waved his hand.
Britain is undoubtedly a country with strict class divisions. It is taboo for civilians to investigate the affairs of nobles. Not to mention the powerful nobles like Spencer.
As long as the other party shows a little dislike for Matthew and Yang Dongxu, they don't have to do it themselves. It is estimated that many people will volunteer to trouble them. So it is the best choice not to get involved.
"The domestic negotiation team and the Italian negotiation team will arrive in London soon. When the time comes, you will join them and we will meet for a meeting. Make the basic bottom line and principles of cooperation clear, and then you will watch the negotiation team and the Spencer family talk." Yang Dongxu said.
No matter what Dale is up to, cooperation is the most important thing.
"I see, do I need to find a law firm?" Matthew asked.
Negotiation is not just about negotiating contracts, lawyers are also the most important part. Even many important clauses require lawyers to participate in them. For example, taxation is the most important thing in European and American society. Having lawyers involved will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.
BMW's main sales area is concentrated in China, while Maserati can only be regarded as a good sports car company. But it is obviously a level lower than the Spencer family. Therefore, it is necessary to hire a law firm in the UK to participate in the negotiations at a high price.
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 Internet queen of eBay has risen all the way because she has helped her company and other partners complete several very beautiful mergers and acquisitions cases.
"I have a professional team of lawyers, and they will get involved when the time comes."
