v3 Chapter 663： Launch an attack (1/2)

Giuseppe Eskenazi is not a stupid person, he has already determined that someone is going to **** him, and there is definitely a follow-up method.

Although it is not clear who has offended it, the best way to resist unknown danger is to disrupt the enemy's offensive routine.

The enemy in the dark is obviously to let these forty-eight Chinese articles be photographed, and his best response is to prevent this from happening.

The second most expensive auctioneer is his trust. He doesn't want to let himself buy back the lots he provided. After all, buying them back will cost more than 500,000 pounds.

You need to know that Eskenazy Co., Ltd. had a net profit of just over five million pounds last year, which is equivalent to a one-tenth of his loss.

Eskenazi Co., Ltd. belongs to the family. Although he is the head of the family, his shareholding ratio is only more than ten points. It is impossible for him to pay for this money himself.

If you let the company out, then this year's financial report will definitely be inferior, and it will affect the company's stock price then, which is not desirable.

So it is absolutely not advisable to buy it back by yourself or the company!

In this way, the best way is to let the third highest bidder buy it all.

It’s just that it takes a certain amount of time, and there is no guarantee that all will be successful.

It's not too late, you must act immediately!

Thinking of this, Giuseppe Eskenazi said to Sotheby’s general manager: ”Manager Ron, I need to trouble you to contact customers, the sooner the better!”

The general manager named Ron is a grasshopper on the same rope as Giuseppe Eskenazi. He immediately said: ”Since you agree to sell, then I will arrange it right away.”

After finishing speaking, Manager Ron hurriedly removed customer information, trying to intercept many customers before they left, complete private transactions as soon as possible, and reduce the rate of unsuccessful auctions.

At the same time, he also asked people to find out the details of the five British people who refused to pay.

Not to mention, that night, Ron and Giuseppe Eskenazi really completed eight private transactions, reducing the number of Chinese cultural relics that were sold out from forty-eight to forty.

They plan to continue the action the next day.

But Xia Yu had expected them to do this a long time ago, so he didn't plan to give them more time to cope.

The next day, with the distribution of major newspapers, a blockbuster news aroused heated discussion.

British ”The Sun”: Shocking! Buyers refused to pay for a large number of sold items during Sotheby's summer auction!

Famous gossip newspaper ”Daily Mirror”: Sotheby's summer auction has not seen any bad conditions in a century, and all Chinese cultural relics have been unsold!

”Financial Times”: According to reliable sources, all Chinese cultural relics provided by Eskenazy Ltd. to participate in Sotheby's London auction have all been sold, with a total transaction volume of 1.7 million pounds, and Sotheby's in the United States A similar situation occurred in the summer auctions in France, France and Hong Kong. Sotheby's auction house will reduce the total turnover of the summer auction by 9.2 million pounds...

”Daily Telegraph”...

It seems that an appointment has been made. Many major mainstream newspapers have reported negative news about Sotheby’s Auction House, and they have written them in great detail, making people believe it is true at a glance.

In fact, the news reported in these newspapers were all arranged by Xia Yu for submission.

City of London, Chinese Commercial Bank.

Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi sat down to drink tea face to face.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Wu Hongyi said with a smile: ”Xia Yu, it seems that Sotheby’s Auction House and Eskenazy Co., Ltd. are busy. I thought you wanted to buy those antiques. I still read it. I don’t understand what you want.”

Although it is not reported in the news that Xia Yu did it, Wu Hongyi is 100% sure that Xia Yu did it.

After all, Xia Yu had specifically instructed him not to participate in the auction of Chinese cultural relics before, and other people also agreed.
