Collection of Gods

Chapter 586 Different ways do not work together

Ten minutes later, in the VIP lounge.

Tang Yuanduan was sitting on the sofa, with a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes sitting directly in front of him. The accessories he wore were extremely elegant, and his whole body was filled with the aura of a superior.

This person was none other than Miguel Reina, the CEO of the Christie's auction house headquarters who rushed over immediately after receiving Tang Yuan's feedback.

"Director Tang, Mr. Lu just told me everything that happened."

Miguel Reina's expression was sincere and sincere, and he immediately explained to Tang Yuan: "I would like to express my sincere apologies to you for this matter. I hope you can understand that our move has no disrespect for you and your country." the meaning of."

"President Miguel, you don't need to apologize to me." Tang Yuan shook his head: "I just want to know now whether you are willing to withdraw this 20th century East Asian photo album from the auction collection list, and whether you are willing to let me remove this photo album. Buy together and the price is negotiable. ”

"Director Tang, I am very sorry, but we cannot agree to your request."

"If we agree to your request today and remove this collection of 20th-century East Asian photo albums from the auction collection, then tomorrow Buddhists will come and tell us that it is blasphemy for us to put their Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the auction block, and they will also ask us What should we do if we remove those Buddhist statues from the auction collection?”

"The next day, Christians came to us and told us that the auction items cannot have God Jesus on them. But all items with God Jesus on them are not allowed to be auctioned. So what should we do?"

Tang Yuan raised his sword eyebrows and argued eloquently.

"Director Tang, goodbye."

"so……"

"We will do a good job of clarifying and explaining."

Speaking of this, Miguel Reina sighed softly: "Dr. Tang, if we set this precedent for you today, it will be very difficult for us to make similar requests in the future. I hope you can understand. Difficulties of our auction house.”

In this regard, Tang Yuan raised a very realistic question: "President Miguel, aren't you afraid that if this matter gets out, you will lose the Chinese market?"

"I hope you can explain it clearly by then."

Tang Yuan was in no mood to continue arguing with Miguel Renner. He just wanted an accurate answer now.

"Dr. Tang, you have no faith, so you will never understand."

Having said that, Tang Yuan didn't say anything more. He stood up and prepared to leave. Different ways do not mean to seek each other's will. The other party has his own rules, and he also has his own attitude. In this case, after this matter is over, he will never do it again. Take a step inside Christie's auction house.

Miguel Reina shook his head and retorted: "For those fanatical believers, the illusory god in your mouth is their spiritual support. They can even give up their lives for the gods at any time."

Miguel Reina was silent for a moment and responded to Tang Yuan.

"What President Miguel means is that this matter is non-negotiable. This album of photos of East Asia in the 20th century must be put on the auction block, right?"

"Director Tang, this would be the case unless there are extremely special circumstances."

"President Miguel, what you just said is an illusory god, and what I said are living dead people. How can the two be confused?"

When Miguel Reina saw Tang Yuan stand up, he also stood up with Tang Yuan, and even personally sent Tang Yuan to the door of the VIP lounge until he watched him leave.

Miguel Reina smiled and answered the question from a rather clever angle.

"President Miguel, Yanagawa Yuliang, president of the Yanagawa Chamber of Commerce, hopes to meet you in person and discuss with you the issue of the 20th century East Asia photo album."

Not long after Tang Yuan and Lu Shuyuan left, Miguel Reina's assistant quickly walked to the other party and reported to him in a low voice.

"What are you negotiating for?" Miguel Reina asked with a slight frown.

"The other party has basically the same demands as Director Tang just now. They hope that this photo album will not appear on the auction stage for bidding. They also hope to contact the owner of this photo album through us and return it at a high price internally."

The assistant spoke very quickly and reported truthfully to Miguel Reina.

"Director Tang is Chinese, so this request is reasonable and reasonable."

Miguel Reina sneered, his words filled with a little disgust: "As a Japanese, Yanagawa Yuryo, why does he make this request?"

When the assistant heard this, he looked a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "He said that the photo album contained photos of his great-grandfather, and he also said that the authenticity of many photos in the photo album was doubtful. If Taking it to the auction stage rashly is likely to cause a lot of unnecessary negative international impacts.”

"He still has the nerve to describe his ancestors as ancestors?"

"They are clearly a bunch of beasts."

"No, no, no, to describe them as beasts is a bit too beautifying."

As the CEO of the Christie's auction house, Miguel Reina has naturally read the photo album of East Asia in the 20th century. As a normal person with a normal conscience, normal moral concepts, and normal social values, he now has some concerns about that country. There is great prejudice.

Nowadays, the descendants of the executioners who participated in those murders have come to visit and openly want to buy the photo album of East Asia in the 20th century, directly denying the authenticity of its contents.

One can imagine how Miguel Reina feels in his heart right now.

"Just find any reason to send them away, a meeting, a business trip, illness, whatever the reason is, anyway, I don't want to see them."

"As for their demands, you reject them directly in accordance with the company's rules and regulations. If they come again in the future, they will be treated in the same way. Do you understand?"

Miguel Reina straightened his tie, his face looked a little irritable.

"Ok."

"Excuse me, do you have anything else to explain?"

The assistant responded and asked a habitual question before leaving.

"Um……"

Miguel Reina pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "There is really one thing. Please notify the borrowing room to prevent Japanese people from borrowing the 20th Century East Asian Photo Album as much as possible in the next five days, even if they have identities. Special Japanese VIPs who request to borrow the book can only look at it and cannot touch it. "

"At the same time, from now on, the quota will be limited to ten places per day. Anyone who wants to borrow that photo album must obtain my permission before borrowing it, and ask the Legal Department to revise the exemption for borrowing that photo album. clause, directly increasing the damages to US$1 million.”

When the assistant heard this, she immediately understood what Miguel Reina meant. She asked tentatively: "President, are you afraid that Japan will deliberately damage the photo album in the name of borrowing it?"

"The Japanese never lack extremists, and we have to guard against them."

After Miguel Reina finished speaking, he waved to his assistant: "Implement what I said as soon as possible."

"Ok."

The assistant nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Miguel Reina stood there, looking at the direction Tang Yuan had just left and thinking for a moment. He had a vague hunch that the biggest dark horse of Christie's auction house this fall might be the seemingly ordinary book. Photo album collection…
