Then in 1859, Thomas Woods, the great-grandfather of Herman Woods, entered the Christie's auction house, and it has been passed down to him. It has been passed down in the Woods family for four generations, and Christie's auction house has already branded the Woods family.
But for more than a hundred years, their Woods family has been diligent and diligent in developing the auction house, but they have never been able to catch up with Sotheby's auction house. They have been under the pressure of the other party. First release ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~Chinese website ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
It's rare to see Sotheby's auction house encounter a crisis nowadays, and it is obvious that someone is doing them. Herman Woods is indeed tempted.
If this opportunity is grasped well, it can definitely seriously damage the reputation of Sotheby's auction house.
I can only think of it now, and that is that, at least in the next few years, the business of Sotheby’s auction house of Chinese cultural relics will definitely not be better.
If Sotheby’s Auction House does not solve the problem and announce it to the public, collectors will definitely have psychological scruples.
Although this business is not the main contribution department of Sotheby’s Auction House, it is not small, is it?
One is going down, maybe this opportunity will allow Christie's auction house to surpass Sotheby's auction house!
Thinking of this, Herman Woods became more and more enthusiastic. He felt that it was not enough for Hunter Simpson to do the pitfalls. He immediately set out to mobilize his family's power and seized this opportunity to step on the Sotheby's auction house.
The peers are enemies, nothing more!
……
Eskenazy Co., Ltd. and Sotheby's Auction House were already overwhelmed, but the situation got worse in the next two days.
The people of Xia Yu have been breaking the news to the major newspapers. Of course, the major newspapers are very keen to report relevant news for the sake of sales, which is completely at the expense of others.
And after all, Christie’s auction house has competed with Sotheby’s auction house for so many years, and knows its roots. At this time, the effect is very significant.
In just two days, the market value of Sotheby’s Auction House, surrounded by various bad advisories, plummeted, from 292 million pounds to 220 million pounds, a drop of nearly 25%, and the price-earnings ratio fell to nine times. about.
Although Christie’s auction house was also affected by the turmoil, it was not significant. The stock price only fluctuated a little. At this time, it surpassed Sotheby’s auction house with a market value of 235 million pounds.
Herman Woods was very happy when he heard the news.
Eskenazi Co., Ltd., general manager Giuseppe Eskenazi, with an angry face, directly crumpled the newspaper in his hand and smashed it on the ground.
”Damn media, there is no bottom line for sales, especially the Sun, which is as disgusting as shit!”
Giuseppe Eskenazi angrily yelled ~ He didn't know where the Sun obtained the data, and he actually counted all the lot information provided by Eskenazi Co., Ltd. accurately, and He covered the unsuccessful data that was too late.
With the influence of The Sun, once it was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of readers.
Reflected in the stock market, that is, the share price of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. plummeted from 78 million pounds to 55 million pounds, and it is still falling.
Obviously, the capital is very optimistic about Eskenazi's revenue this year and future prospects.
Think about it, too, if this kind of thing happens, anyone who understands will realize that the Chinese cultural relics market will be sluggish in the coming years, and the new business developed by Eskenazi Co., Ltd. will be abolished.
”True!”
Hearing the knock on the door, Giuseppe Eskenazi took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and said coldly: ”Come in!”
Soon, the door opened, and his cousin Robert Eskenazi came in. He was arranged to investigate the situation. Now that he is here, has he inquired about any news?
Thinking of this, Giuseppe Eskenazi asked quickly: ”Robert, how is the investigation going?”
Robert Eskenazi gave a wry smile, shook his head and sighed: ”The identities of the five people have been found, they are just ordinary people, but the enemy should have expected that we will investigate, so as soon as the auction is over, they will arrange for the five of them to go abroad. Now it is estimated that they are all vacationing in unknown places.”
