Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"...Hua Lao, you should temporarily stop the acquisition of antiques, and do your best to collect information on antiques, and then wait for my news!"

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu's face was cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he made two calls successively, calling Elena and Wu Hongyi respectively, and asked them to help launch contacts to assist in the investigation.

Immediately afterwards, he launched his own power and contacts to collect information on Sotheby's auction house and the Eskenazi family.

Although Xia Yu's memory has related memories of these two families, after all, after decades, he can't remember so much. It is inevitable that there are some discrepancies. In order to make the most correct judgment and decision, he needs the most detailed information. intelligence.

The next day, more and more information spread to Xia Yu, and the more he knew, the colder the light in Xia Yu's eyes.

...

166 Piccadilly Street, London, UK, home of Eskenazie Ltd.

Forty-year-old Giuseppe Eskenazi listened to his subordinate's report, frowning gradually.

Giuseppe Eskenazzi has been exposed to antiques since he was a child, and after the death of his father Isaac at the age of 28, he took over the family's business in the UK.

Under his leadership, the Eskenazi family fled from Turkey to Milan, Italy. The family business was booming every year, and Eskenazi Co., Ltd. became one of the largest antique dealers in the European antiques industry.

And now the focus of the family has shifted to England, and the burden of the family has also shifted from the shoulders of Uncle Victorio to him.

As a shrewd Jew, Giuseppe Eskenazi has an extremely keen business sense and patience like a viper. It is precisely because of this that he has successively opened up the American art market and the island art market, and more It has made a huge impact on the European art market.

After the island country art, he once again set his sights on a target, that is, Chinese antique art!

As a top European art dealer, Eskenazi Co., Ltd. is very well-informed, so Giuseppe Eskenazi gradually learned that someone is buying cultural relics and artworks from China in large quantities.

A few years ago, he happened to be in Huaxia, visited many museums in Huaxia, and had a deep impression of Huaxia.

But he also knew the economic level of Huaxia and the limited funds of Eskenazy Co., Ltd. Considering that Good Steel was to be used on the cutting edge, he invested resources in developing the art market of the island country.

Until this year, he learned that Huaxia has changed a lot and has announced reform and opening up to develop the economy.

When he accidentally learned that someone had purchased Chinese cultural relics and artworks in large quantities, he realized that he could start to test the layout.

From the last century to the present, the Eskenazi family's collection library has collected nearly 6,000 Chinese cultural relics.

Just because of the economic situation of China and the overall economic level of the Chinese, the prices of Chinese cultural relics on the market are generally not high, so the Eskenazi family rarely sells them, and the main focus is on slaughtering the arrogant and wealthy islanders. above.

However, as long as the price of Chinese cultural relics is raised in the same way as the art of the island country, the 6,000 Chinese cultural relics collected by the Eskenazi family will be a big gold mine.

In order to realize his plan, Giuseppe Eskenazzi found a close relationship, and now the number one auction house in Europe and the largest auction house in the world, Sotheby's!

The annual Sotheby's Summer Auction is about to begin. After secret negotiation, Eskenazy Co., Ltd. will provide a batch of Chinese cultural relics.

As long as the plan is successful, the Eskenazi family will reap huge benefits, and Sotheby's, the auction house, has also opened up new markets and can gain greater benefits.

Not only did he do it in this regard, but Giuseppe Eskenazy also let people compete with Huashengshi for Chinese cultural relics, not only to acquire a batch of Chinese cultural relics, but also to raise the price of Chinese cultural relics in the competition.

I just didn't expect the subordinate to report it now.

Huashengshi has given up competing with them and no longer acquires Chinese cultural relics. This situation was beyond Giuseppe Eskenazi's expectations and disrupted his plans to a certain extent.

"It will be implemented according to the original plan, and at the same time send someone to pay close attention to industry news. If someone buys Chinese cultural relics, they will report to me immediately!"

Giuseppe Eskenazi sternly told his subordinates.

Then went to Sotheby's auction house again.

...

"Sure enough... I just didn't expect him to start doing it at this time. Could it be my butterfly effect?"

Jiuding Building, the chairman's office, after reading the information provided by all parties, Xia Yu's eyes were blurred, and he thought to himself.

Although no detailed plan of Giuseppe Eskenazi was collected, Xia Yu reaffirmed his guess based on valid information.

The Eskenazy family wants to cut the wool of the Chinese, intending to hoard Chinese cultural relics and increase their value.

In a previous life, the Eskenazi family did just that, and were crowned as one of the most respected Chinese art dealers in the world.

And Giuseppe Eskenazy has repeatedly set the auction record of Chinese cultural relics and artworks, which shocked the world.

For example, in 1999, he took the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup for 26.5 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a world record for the Ming Dynasty Doucai utensils.

In 2005, he bought the "Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi Going Down the Mountain" for 15.688 million pounds (about 230 million yuan), setting a world record for Chinese art.

...

In 2009, he auctioned the jasper water buffalo on the gilt bronze seat of the Qing Dynasty for 3.4 million pounds, setting a world record for Chinese jade;

In 2015, he bought the pot with the head of Tang Sancaifeng for 2.725 million pounds, setting a world record for Chinese Tang Dynasty ceramics...

Outsiders, through Giuseppe Eskenazy's generous spending time and time again, think he is a Chinese art lover and is willing to pay money to collect it.

But how many people know that under his works, it is the soaring prices of cultural relics and artworks, as well as the rising revenue of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. and the skyrocketing family assets of the Eskenazi family?

Xia Yu also knew some secrets about the twelve animal heads in Yuanmingyuan.

The heads of cattle, monkeys and tigers that have now been repurchased and placed in the Poly Art Museum were all taken out by the Eskenazi family in the 1980s and put up for auction in Xiangjiang. They were bought by a tycoon in Taiwan Province. In the millennium, it was put up for auction and taken away by Poly Group.

Even ten years later, he used public opinion to hype the patriotic feelings of the Chinese people. When he felt that the time was right, he took out the rabbit head and the mouse head and put them on the auction in Paris, France, but unexpectedly, a tycoon Cai came out and smashed their wishful thinking. The two beast heads were auctioned for a total of more than 31 million euros, but they refused to pay and wanted them to pass the auction.

In the end, Francois Pinault, the fifth richest man in France and the largest individual shareholder of Christie's auction house, bought it and donated it to Huaxia in 2013.

Because of this, the Eskenazi family still managed to make a lot of money.

Xia Yu would know these secrets because there is a memory of a British boss who once went to the treasure house of the Eskenazi family and saw these Yuanmingyuan animal heads.

Even apart from these few, the later generations have never appeared, and the most significant dragon heads are also in the collection of the Eskenazi family.

The actions of the Eskenazi family not only annoyed Xia Yu, but also seriously affected Xia Yu's antique collection plan.

The price of Chinese cultural relics and artworks has been fired up, so isn't the cost of his acquisition greatly increased? Future profits will also drop sharply, which is breaking Xia Yu's fortune!

Under such circumstances, having guessed the plans of the Eskenazi family, how could Xia Yu be indifferent?

The mastermind of the Eskenazi family, the accomplice of Sotheby's auction house!

Don't even try to run away!

Thinking of the upcoming Sotheby's Summer Sale, Xia Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Want to hype?

There are no doors!

I just smashed the plate!
