Just when everyone thought that the price of 8 million was the highest price of Mr. Wu Qingzong's masterpiece of calligraphy and painting tonight, someone in the VIP seat suddenly raised a sign of 10 million yuan, which immediately rekindled the fire of war that had been extinguished.
Everyone looked over there in some surprise, and they found that it was a young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, but they didn't know whose son it was.
Basically, the guests who can appear in the VIP table are the kind of people with a very high status, and it is not unimaginable that a painting can be auctioned for a high price of tens of millions, but everyone has focused their eyes on Li Yunxing, wondering if this little girl will continue to follow up?
At this time, Li Yunxing was chatting with Fan Wuxian and talked about some things about learning calligraphy, and after hearing someone shouting the price, he didn't even think about it, and casually held up the sign and quoted a high price of 20 million.
The audience was in an uproar, and the heart said that this little girl's origin is not small! But looking back, the kind of person who can sit and chat with Fan Wuxi, and it seems that Fan Wuxian is more polite to her, can't he still hold up a sign of 20 million?
The young man over there obviously paused, and Li Yunxing's reaction was a little surprising to him, but he also seemed to have an inevitable idea of this painting, so he thought about it for a while, and raised a sign to quote the price of two thousand and one hundred thousand.
"Two thousand and one hundred thousand for the first time, two hundred and one thousand for the second time—" the auctioneer shouted loudly holding up the small gavel, "the last chance, two thousand and one hundred thousand for the third time, sold!" ”
Strangely, Li Yunxing did not continue to shout, still chatting with Fan Wuxi, and Fan Wuxian seemed to be unaware of this, and was telling Li Yunxuan what font should be chosen as the basis for contacting calligraphy, and neither of them took this auction as a thing.
But the young man who bought that painting felt a little vomiting blood, a painting that could have been photographed without 10 million yuan, was stunned because Li Yunyun was stirring up the situation, so he spent 10 million more on himself, which is really a bit disturbing!
"Why didn't you follow?" Fan Wuxi: I asked Li Yunxing.
"It's just for fun. Why spend so much unjust money? You're not saying. Can I just make a copy and copy it? Li Yunxin tilted his head and replied.
Soon the results of the auction were announced. Mr. Wu Qingzong's calligraphy and painting works marked No. 30 were purchased by the Hong Kong Ming Foundation. The audience suddenly remembered the sound of clapping.
Fan Wuxian nodded and said. "You're right. This time, though, it's a charity auction. The proceeds will be used to support the construction of Hope Primary School in mountainous areas of China. So it's okay to take two pictures. ”
Li Yunyun nodded when he heard this. "Oh. Say that. I'll shoot two more things. ”
Then there's nothing too noticeable. Lee Yun-hyun casually photographed four antiques. A total of more than six million were spent. That's when I stopped. Because the competition for the land in front is fierce. Later, everyone's emotions were aroused. The organizers of tonight's cocktail party felt that they had gained a lot. In total, there are about 70 million receipts. There's a lot you can do.
Qin Rushan didn't know where he had gone. Wait until the end of the party. He just rubbed Fan Wuxi's side. "Mr. Fan. The Ming consortium just now. I seem to be very dissatisfied with you. ”
"So what? You can't rush over and bite me, can you? Fan Wuxian smiled disappreciatively, "In the auction hall, the highest bidder wins, we didn't auction Wu Qingzong's first calligraphy and painting works, and we are very unhappy in our hearts." ”
"Having said that, the Ming family is closely connected with the underworld—" Qin Rushan reminded Fan Wuxian, "The rich people in Hong Kong who are idle are not willing to offend them." ”
Fan Wuxian shook his head and said, "Mr. Qin, you are too worried, the underworld I have provoked is no longer one or two, isn't it still alive and well?" You Hong Kong people have taboos on this issue, but we are not afraid, and it is just a big deal to send troops to destroy them. ”
"The point is, it's not yet Ninety-Seven, their Ming family has a lot of power in Hong Kong, otherwise they wouldn't have been invited over-" Qin Rushan said to Fan Wuxian.
"Well, that's true.
Fan Wuxi touched his nose and said, "Thank you Boss Qin for reminding me, I understand this matter." It's good that everyone is okay, if there is really anything that can't be overcome, I'm also very good at this kind of thing. ”
"That's good, although Ming Shijie is young, he has always acted more ruthlessly, I'm worried that Mr. Fan, you don't understand the situation and suffer a loss-" Qin Rushan nodded and said.
Qin Rushan, as a figure who has worked hard in Hong Kong for decades, is naturally very familiar with the situation in Hong Kong, so he is deeply afraid of the Ming family involved in the black, and this time he came to remind Fan Wuxi, also because Fan Wuxian is his big benefactor at this time, and Fan Wuxi's power in the mainland should not be underestimated.
However, Qin Rushan was still somewhat afraid of the Ming family's power.
The power of the Chinese mafia should not be underestimated, and it has formed a strong momentum with the mafia of Italy, Russia, Eastern Europe and South American drug cartels. For a long time, the Chinese triad did not have much market in Chinese mainland, mainly flooding Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese. However, in the past decade, with the opening up of the mainland, the triads of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have rapidly infiltrated and merged with local evil forces.
The major gangsters in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan have branches and branches on the mainland, such as Hong Kong's Xin Yi'an, 14K and Shuifang Gang, and Taiwan's Sihai Gang and Xiulian Gang. Their concepts such as the hall, the detachment, the boss, the vajra, and the protector of the Dharma are a great temptation for teenagers in an impetuous atmosphere.
Since the mid-80s, there have been frequent cross-strait exchanges, and gangs from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan have also entered the mainland in the name of sightseeing, visiting relatives, investing, and doing business, and the triad forces have developed rapidly.
Since the beginning of the 90s, more gangsters from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan have infiltrated the mainland. In recent years, more than 90 percent of the major criminal cases involved criminal syndicates, and most of those that occurred in the south were related to foreign criminal syndicates. Foreign underworld organizations collude with domestic gangs to engage in a variety of criminal activities. In the name of investment and trade, some people swindle, defraud, and launder money in the mainland, while others form gangs and recruit members in the mainland, and even more so, they kill people and sell goods, kidnap and extort money, smuggle and sell drugs, and fight gunfights.
Hong Kong Triad Unit; Originating from the mainland, the earliest can be traced back to the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty Hongmen Tiandi Society, Triads, Qinghong Gang and other anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, triad organizations on the mainland fled to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, while Hong Kong became the largest distribution center for triad organizations, which at one time grew to more than 300 organizations. Although the police have been fighting crime for many years, the triad forces are still disappearing from the other, and they are developing and spreading across regions, seas and borders, and criminal activities are becoming more international.
According to information released by the Hong Kong Police in early 1990, there were nearly 60 organizations registered under the Societies Ordinance or the Companies Ordinance, including the Triads, the 14K, the New Ngee An, and the Harmony Clan, with more than 200,000 members. The gangsters who are now active in Hong Kong and even in the international triad arena mainly have four major families, namely the Triad, 1, New Ngee An, and the character line.
The triad is an old gang, and most of Hong Kong's modern triad can be traced back to the triad family. The Fourteen Ks are a subordinate organization of the Triads, a criminal syndicate of the New Wave Clan. New Ngee An, also known as the Teochew Gang, is a rising star among Hong Kong gangs, and in recent years its power has developed to the point where it can compete with the 14K K, with nearly 80,000 members. In 94, the Hong Kong police launched a large-scale anti-gang operation, arresting 14 leaders of New Ngee An in one fell swoop.
In addition to the four major families, there are countless gangs that are prominent on the triad stage in Hong Kong. However, as Hong Kong's return to the motherland approaches, many gangster organizations led by the four major families have also felt the crisis of survival, and have entered the legal field to operate and accelerate their migration to the mainland.
The Ming family, as a Hong Kong underworld force that can be compared with the big family, also saw the vast market in the mainland and wanted to come in and get a piece of the pie.
Strictly speaking, the Ming family is not a local underworld force, but an underworld force of mixed Chinese and European descent, and has a very close cooperative relationship with the mafia, so it acts ruthlessly and does not follow the rules, even the local underworld forces in Hong Kong are more afraid of it.
The Ming family is involved in many industries, almost all crimes are involved, drug trafficking, smuggling, black food, fraud and other crimes are innumerable, even the Hong Kong police feel a lot of headaches for them, it is said that the resignation of the previous Hong Kong police commissioner also has something to do with them.
Xiaodaoer news said that at that time, Ming Zhengxing, the head of the Ming family, bought off the powerful people in the British Parliament and got the police commissioner who couldn't get along with his family, so that the other party had to leave Hong Kong gloomily and went to England with a family of four to retire.
If there is no festival that is too much, no one is willing to provoke the Ming family.
Qin Rushan reminded Fan Wuxian that he was also based on this consideration.
However, Fan Wuxian also has a set of principles for doing things, and now he has many enterprises, and the number of security personnel has reached a very terrifying number, and in view of the previous agreement with Boss Zhu, to provide more job opportunities for veterans and demobilized soldiers, so he has set up a professional security company, and the seals will provide them with international standardized security training, and after they come out, they can be arranged to provide security services in various companies.
If there are really people who want to find trouble without their own strength, even if they do not use the power of the government and the military, it is easy to use these manpower to pacify them.
In particular, these people's use of firearms is much stronger than that of the underworld. There are no pop-ups
