Chapter 1438 Dai'er's Current Situation
Italian Sotheby's auction house, it has to be said that businessmen are very shrewd in doing business. The time of Sotheby's auction can be said to be just right.
What celebrities like most is to package themselves in some artistic aspects. What kind of artistic packaging is worth buying a real antique artwork and saying that it is their own collection with taste and style?
Moreover, many celebrities invited to the film festival are collectors. The film festival 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, they can also say that you can come to Italy for a few days, watch the film festival and travel, and then participate in the auction. This arrangement.
Yang Dongxu and Chen Hong walked into the auction site. It can be said that there are stars all around. Basically, many star directors who have won awards at the film festival came today.
There are also many business celebrities from all walks of life. Originally, Yang Dongxu was not very interested in such an auction. After all, this is a European film festival.
So the 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 must be mainly some European art auctions, not Chinese antiques. Chinese antiques need to be promoted first, and it would be better if the venue can 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 earn a lot of money.
The impression that Chinese people are rich and powerful in the eyes of foreigners also started from this. After all, tens of millions or hundreds of millions are often spent on a jar or calligraphy and painting.
These things are treasures in the eyes of Chinese people, but in the eyes of foreigners, even if they know it is an antique, they still feel that Chinese people are stupid and have a lot of money.
Coupled with the Chinese tourists who rushed out of the country to buy all kinds of things, the impression that Chinese customers are rich and stupid and easy to cheat was left in foreigners.
"Is there anything you are interested in?" Yang Dongxu was pulled 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 get it later. Although it was not a special jewelry auction, it was a European auction. In addition to the manuscripts of some well-known painters, famous European paintings and sculptures, gems are also a highlight of the auction here.
If it is an auction focusing on Chinese style, then in addition to calligraphy and painting, porcelain, gems are also a small item, but the main items in this small item are jade, jadeite and so on, and there will be no diamonds.
"I'll buy it later." Chen Hong said.
This is undoubtedly a bit hypocritical. If you really want to buy it yourself, you won't ask Yang Dongxu to come. Of course, this does not mean that Chen Hong has no money, or that she is reluctant to spend money and wants Yang Dongxu to buy it for her.
Chen Hong still holds shares in Haina. I don't know how much dividends she gets every year. She is definitely a rich woman comparable to Ran Feifei. Buying a pink diamond is really just a drop in the bucket.
But it is undoubtedly different for a man to buy this thing and give it to a woman and for a woman to buy it herself. Although neither of them cares about this little money, the form still needs to be there.
Yang Dongxu's IQ is obviously online, "I'll raise the sign one time, your man is not short of money, and I'll buy it and ask someone to make a diamond ring for you."
"What are you talking about?" Chen Hong glared at Yang Dongxu angrily.
Although she must be surprised to hear this in her heart, Yang Dongxu patted his chest and said that he would ask someone to make a ring like a nouveau riche, which made her want to reach out and pinch the soft flesh on Yang Dongxu's waist.
"Big bosses are willing to spend money to pick up women." A discordant voice sounded.
Yang Dongxu and Chen Hong looked over and saw a European girl wearing sunglasses sitting down next to Yang Dongxu.
"Didn't you get kicked out of the house by your brother? 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, who knew Chen Hong. After all, these women often get together and occasionally travel around the world.
Dai'er was obviously joking just now, and Yang Dongxu was also teasing without wanting to suffer a loss, but his teasing undoubtedly opened Dai'er's scars again.
"Yes, I'm so poor that I can't even eat. How about you, big boss, keep me as your mistress?" Dai'er moved closer to Yang Dongxu and raised her eyebrows demonstratively.
"My woman is sitting next to me, so you should be more restrained when you speak."
"What this means is that it's OK as long as your woman is not around." Dai'er took off her sunglasses and licked her lips very provocatively.
Looking at the buddy in the back row, he stared straight, because Dai'er was teasing Yang Dongxu with her head tilted. That side face, that red lips and little tongue made him unable to help but shudder suddenly in his lower body.
"Is she teasing your man again?" Yang Dongxu turned his head and said to Chen Hong, who was watching the show with gloating.
"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 was very clear about Yang Dongxu now. Not to mention that Dai'er still had the character of a proud and arrogant princess, even if she was willing to humble herself, Yang Dongxu would not dare to accept her.
So since she knew nothing would happen, she naturally didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
"Are women now so fierce?" Yang Dongxu was speechless after being retorted by Chen Hong.
"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 have no problem with it. As for Dai'er, this was 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 sorts of 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 just 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 huge 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 can also make full decisions about the assets in her hands. Working with her can make a profit. Now some people who are willing to cooperate with her no longer just do it for the sake of the Spencer family.
