Chapter 594 Eternal Source Power
"Twentieth Century East Asian Photo Album Collection, $37000 Million for the First Time!"

"Dear guests, is there anyone else interested in continuing to bid?"

Facing the silent Huo Zhenggang, the auctioneer made the first hammer-down reminder in accordance with the regulations. Her eyes were always fixed on the location of the Chinese delegation, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Silence is still silence.

The entire Chinese delegation seemed to be shrouded in dead silence.

Is $3.7 million too much?
For the He family and the Huo family, whose assets exceed tens of billions, and for those domestic tycoons who have been ranked on the Forbes list all year round, this is actually not much.

But the crux of the matter is that the essence of what they are doing today is charity.

After taking this photo album, they will definitely donate it to the country, so no matter how much money they take out of their pockets, it is essentially no different from donating.

From this perspective, $3.7 million is a lot.

If it is converted into RMB, it will be almost more than 2 billion.

Countless shots at the scene frequently switched between the Chinese delegation and the Japanese delegation, fully displaying the situation on both sides to the audience watching the live broadcast around the world.

"Are you kidding yourself? You and your employer stayed up late until after three o'clock, and then you told me that you have no money? Are you going to hand over the photo album to the Japanese? Are you really not going to lose face?"

In the country, countless Chinese people looked at the scene in front of them, and various voices could be heard, some sighed, some cursed, some mourned, and some were angry.

……

Abroad, the Japanese who were originally scolded for diving came out again and started to ridicule mode. Those sarcastic words made the Chinese people extremely angry, but they didn't know how to refute.

This time, the Huo family spent 5000 million US dollars out of their own pockets, and the He family spent 6000 million US dollars out of their own pockets. It can be said that they are all benevolent. If they continue to spend their own pockets to fill this bottomless pit, no one can bear it.

"That's 3.7 million US dollars. Why are they working so hard?"

"It seems that the bullets have been exhausted. The price of 3.7 million US dollars has exceeded the bottom line of the funds prepared by our delegation!"

"Looking at the arrogance of those little devils, I really want to jump on the TV and smash our crystal ashtray on their heads. I am so angry!"

With the auctioneer's second reminder of the fall of the hammer, there was still no movement from the Chinese delegation. Such a scene made many people at the scene shake their heads, feeling that the game had been settled.

"I suggest that after Huo Zhenggang returns to China, the list of wealthy businessmen who supported this charity auction will be made public. I just want to see who is the iron rooster in the face of the righteousness of the country!"

"What's going on? Keep bidding!"

"Senior, are these Japanese people crazy?"

"Is there any miracle? This photo album cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese!"

"Hahaha, I don't want to say anything now. Suddenly I understand what it means to be unkind for the sake of wealth. I don't mean anything against the Huo family and the He family. They are all good people!"

……

Charitable behavior is all about doing within one's ability.

"Twentieth Century East Asia Photo Album Collection, US$37000 Million for the Second Time!"

Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to Tang Yuan, looked at the situation in front of her, her heart was also worried, and even her tone was a little angry.

"why?"

"Of course it's because of profit." Tang Yuan's face was calm and indifferent. From the beginning to now, his expression had not shown any fluctuation, as if he had expected such a situation.

"Benefit?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why does this photo album have any interest in those Japanese people?"

When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she couldn't help but look a little puzzled.

“The main initiators of this Japanese delegation are Yanagawa Chamber of Commerce, Matsui Chamber of Commerce and Koizumi Chamber of Commerce. Among them, the ancestors of Yanagawa Chamber of Commerce and Matsui Chamber of Commerce are Yanagawa Heisuke and Matsui Iwane, the main war criminals who committed heinous crimes in Jinling. The remaining Koizumi The family is also the mainstay of Japan's militaristic right-wing forces. The elder of the family, Junichiro Koizumi, publicly visited the Yasukuni Shrine six times during his tenure as Japan's Prime Minister."

"After decades of cleansing, the Yanagawa family and the Matsui family have regained a good international image. Currently, people from both families hold important positions in the Japanese government, and the photo album contains a large amount of criminal evidence of their ancestors. If This photo album is in our hands and we will definitely make it public.”

"Then the Yanagawa family and the Matsui family will inevitably be pushed back to the forefront, causing their decades of hard work to be in vain. Compared with this price, what is a mere amount of money?"

"One side is charity, the other side is profit, one side is for others, and the other side is for oneself. The bottom line of both sides is different from the very beginning, and the result is naturally conceivable."

Tang Yuan briefly explained the essential logic of the matter to Su Xiaoxiao, then he picked up the teacup at hand and took a slow sip.

Interest is the eternal source of motivation.

If the item being auctioned today is not a photo album but the gaming rights of Macao City, do you think the He family will still have this attitude?
That must be a sharp display of all your abilities!
"Hey……"

"That's it. No wonder they are so desperate."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, then showed a bit of unwillingness: "Do you really want to give this photo album away? I read on the Internet that this photo album is likely to be the most complete evidence of the murders committed by the Japanese army in the world. If the collection falls into Japanese hands, even if it is not destroyed, it may never see the light of day again."

"Give it up to others?"

"Ha ha……"

Tang Yuan chuckled twice, and then gently covered the bidding number plate at hand with his right hand.

……

"Twentieth Century East Asia Photo Album Collection, US$37000 Million for the Third Time!"

The auctioneer's loud voice once again spread throughout the audience. Seeing that the Chinese delegation was still indifferent, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

As a top auctioneer at Christie's auction house, she naturally has the right to borrow the photo album of East Asia in the 20th century. Out of the conscience of a normal person, she still prefers the Chinese to bring the photo album of East Asia in the 20th century with her. Go.

She feels that that period of history should not be buried. Japan must face up to history and solemnly apologize to China for what happened back then, instead of evading and covering up by tampering with and distorting history as it does now.

However, she is just an auctioneer, she can only do her job well.

Just after she finished the third hammer-down reminder, she slowly picked up the auction hammer at hand and prepared to announce the result of the auction.

However, she had just picked up the auction hammer, and before she could take any action, she heard a clear voice coming from the center of the scene again.

"Bid No. 108..."

"$4 million!"
