I see...... Jiang Xian's fingers lightly tapped the armrest, and he looked at Hardison. Hadison didn't say anything, but there was a hint of anxiety between his eyebrows.

After watching it for a few seconds, Jiang Xian smiled slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said playfully: "If Mr. Hardison doesn't mind, let's talk about it together?" ”

A dry smile appeared on his face and he shook his head: "Of course not...... Mind. ”

Soon, everyone walked up. When Hudson was seen, everyone's faces changed slightly. Hudson instead took the lead and adjusted his mentality, but smiled and nodded at everyone.

Six people sat in the private room, just right, when everyone was seated. Four business cards were handed over at the same time. Jiang Xian put them away one by one, glanced at them, and put them in his pocket.

"Mr. Jiang." Hardison was the first to speak: "What did you think about just now?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Oren, the thin Englishman, then said, "Mr. Jiang, may as well listen to our proposal first?" Christian is old enough, but it can't keep up with the times. The future belongs to Sotheby, and we have the contact information of all the world's richest people, whether it is Bill Gates, or Mr. Bezos, or Mr. Musk......"

"Mr. Oren." Hardison twisted his glass and shook it slightly: "Christian can't keep up with the times?" It's a ridiculous statement, and to date, we have led all auction houses in the world in terms of auction value. I think I need to remind you. ”

"But that's because you have a lot of auctions!" Oren pushed his black-rimmed glasses and pushed them back without hesitation: "Did you forget?" At each quarter's major auction event, Sotheby Auction House consistently sets records for the highest auction turnover......"

"Isn't that proof that Christian auction house has a wide range of channels and a large collection?"

"With all due respect, the Bank has been promoting the auction method of being more expensive than expensive. The Bank's motto is that only the best lots can be listed in the Bank, and we will never overdo it. It's completely different from some auction houses that need a large number of lots to support the turnover! ”

Brush...... The two elderly men looked at each other for a moment, but they did not speak again—for fear that excessive noise would have the opposite effect. As soon as the order was over, Hardison continued to puff his pipe, while Oron slowly sipped the wine.

"Mr. Jiang." After a minute of silence, Ms. Li spoke fluent Mandarin and said with a smile: "The contemptible person is Li Huiying of Phoenix Auction House, a subsidiary of LV Company. It's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Jiang Xian was a little interested: "Korean auction houses, also interested in me?" ”

"I'm not interested, I think, you're Yi Sunsin from Phoenix Auction House." Li Huiying smiled: "Although Phoenix Auction House is not as large as Sotheby and Christian, we have a unique means of publicity. If we say, the richest men are the richest men among the rich people they invite. We're targeting the wealthy women. Our quarterly auction top prices are always right behind Sotheby's, and if you join, you're the last piece of the puzzle to become an auction emperor! ”

"Heh......" Oron sneered at the right time and didn't speak.

"China and Japan are separated by water." After a brief introduction by Li Huiying, a thin Japanese man smiled and said, "If Mr. Jiang chooses another auction house, he will inevitably leave Asia." The British diet, terroir, I believe it is not easy for Mr. Jiang to adapt. But if you choose our Daiwa Sanyou auction house, it is completely different. In Asia, Daiwa Sanyou Auction House is the top one. ”

"And most importantly, we are the only ones in Asia who are the most proficient in how to promote Chinese lots. We clearly understand the preciousness of Chinese lots, and there is no shortage of wealthy people in Japan who are willing to spend a lot of money on Chinese antiques, and our country is the best guarantee that your lot will be sold for a high price! ”

"Forgot to say a little. We are a professional auction company, and we accompany antiques for a lifetime. There is an essential difference from those so-called auction houses that are actually making clothes under the banner of antiques. I'm afraid some auction houses can't even tell the difference between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, right? And I myself can recite all the dynasties and era names of Huaguo. ”

The smell of gunpowder is somewhat pungent.

Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Xian, even if they knew that they might not be able to achieve their goal this time, they did not hide their desire.

Jiang Xian didn't speak, thinking quickly in his mind, he had completely understood the meaning of Lin Fangruo's words in the afternoon.

First of all, in China, the archaeological industry is not particularly developed. The scale is large, and there are many discoveries, but after the Great Purge around 2000, there are very few young Zhuang factions. The old faction is difficult to get to the ground in person because of physical reasons. This has created a talent vacuum.

Secondly, China is developing its economy at a rapid pace, and at this time, the archaeology industry is taking a first-hand attitude. As a result, archaeology-related majors are not popular, and the investment in personnel funds is small, and the consequence is that the research and development of corresponding equipment is insufficient. Most of the equipment chosen by archaeologists or explorers today is a foreign marmot or Archaeopteryx series. Even the 15-year exploration of the Lishan Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang seems to have borrowed foreign equipment.

But, that was before.

In recent years, Huaguo's industrial upgrading has obviously been completed. Efforts have begun to be devoted to other aspects, and the investment in humanities and history has increased significantly. And this time such a shocking discovery...... Just in time. Lin Fangruo had already told him that the state would make a series of moves and that he needed to cooperate. Then, he is the first business card submitted by Huaguo Humanities.

If this business card, if you choose a foreign auction house, how many people will be slapped in the face?

"There should still be ...... The purge around 2000 left the entire industry in fear, and now, I am afraid they also want to take this opportunity to test and see what the country's attitude is towards this industry. His eyes looked out the window, and at this moment it was already dark, and the lights of thousands of homes were on.

"As a person recommended by everyone, if I chose a foreign auction house, I would also slap them in the face...... Lin Lao should have guessed this ...... No, maybe when we were exploring the pits, there were people from these auction houses who joined in. So I'm ...... to it."

Gathering his thoughts, he retracted his gaze and looked at everyone: "I'm sorry, I've already made a decision. ”

"I take the liberty of asking, is it Shenzhou?" Instead of being disappointed, Oron asked with a smile.

"Soon everyone will know." Jiang Xian stood up with a smile and bowed his head slightly: "I'm afraid you haven't eaten, right?" I've booked a table and I hope you all enjoy your meal, and I've already settled the bill. ”

Smack...... With the sound of the door closing. The air in the room instantly cooled, and the general managers of several large auction houses glanced at each other and left the cubicle one after another.

………………………………

Yasuda Nakamura walked slowly down the steps of Sheraton with a staff of civilization. As he walked down the last step, he couldn't help but glance back and sigh regretfully. Reluctantly, he walked into the black sedan parked on the side of the road.

"Didn't work out?" As soon as the car door was closed, the voice of a middle-aged man sounded in the back seat. Yasuda Nakamura sat in the passenger seat, combed his hair painfully, and said in Japanese, "No." ”

"He's too demanding?"

"No...... He didn't ask for it. Yasuda Nakamura did not give the order to drive, but continued to look at the Sheraton outside through the glass window, and said quietly: "Phoenix, Christian, Sotheby's people are all ...... It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

He couldn't help but gently hammer the car door, and his voice stirred: "This discovery will definitely shock the world!" I've seen the photos sent back by the exploration team, and those are amazing! Those who can survive these institutions are bound to be dragons among men! ”

"We are different from Sos, they know that it is impossible for Mr. Jiang to join them! Mr. Jiang previously joined the exploration team in China. They just hope that this kind of exploration master will not be intercepted by other opponents, so they came. But...... But we're not the same! ”

He breathed a sigh of relief: "We really want him to join us...... Chinese cultural relics can be sold at sky-high prices in Japan, South Korea and South Asia! That's something that the British auction houses can't do. Our collaboration is a match made in heaven! But...... It's just that these bastards who spoil the situation came out! ”

The car was quiet for a moment, and after a few seconds, the man behind the car sighed: "I also hope to recruit the other party before the Archaeological Bureau officially recruits him, it seems that ...... The other party is also very smart...... We went out together, but it made him realize something...... You went up for only half an hour, and he didn't even ask you to ask for it, obviously he figured it out halfway. ”

If it was clear at the beginning, he wouldn't even meet with anyone else.

Silence again.

After another five seconds, the middle-aged man's voice sounded again: "I finally asked Mr. Long to give Mr. Song that thing, so that the other party could open his mouth and allow us to meet with Mr. Jiang...... It would be a shame to give up. ”

Brush...... The doors opened, and outside lights poured in. Yasuda Nakamura looked up in amazement and looked at the open back door: "Are you going to ......"

"No matter what you say, you have to work hard." Outside the car, a middle-aged man in his early forties gently combed his big back and strode towards Sheraton: "Even if the other party doesn't join, we must reach some cooperation intentions...... yes, we're completely different from those in the UK, we're ...... There is enough sincerity! ”

He snapped his fingers, but the driver seemed to hear it, and immediately opened the door and trotted out, handing a computer bag to the man in the suit.

The man in the suit gently stroked the paper bag, his eyes slightly solemn: "I'm actually very strange, if Mr. Jiang had seen the thing we handed him, he would have called me." But...... I didn't wait. ”

"It seems that he either didn't realize what it was. Either...... It's Mr. Song who broke his promise...... But it doesn't matter, this time, I'll make this dragon nod myself! ”

"Our sincerity is by no means comparable to other auction houses!"
