Chapter 518 Chinese, Don't Be Bullied
75 Chapter Five Hundred and Eighteen Chinese Can't Be Bullied
The news that Xinfubi Auction House Fubu will auction the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs in the Yuanmingyuan caused a sensation in China. ()
The bronze statue of the twelve zodiac signs was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Italian missionary Castiglione presided over the design, Frenchman Jiang Youren designed and supervised the production of Qing court craftsmen. It can be said that the transnational combination witnessed the "Kang and Qianlong prosperity" of that year.
The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs are human-bodied and beast-shaped. The fine details such as the folds and fluff on the casters of the bronze statue are clear and lifelike. Moreover, the portraits of the twelve births will be designed according to the hours of the day, and the water jets will gushes from their mouths every hour of the day. These twelve zodiac bronze statues can be described as an art treasure showing Eastern and Western cultures, and have extremely high artistic value and appreciation value in the world. It is a pity that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs have since disappeared.
So far, the country has only recovered the bronze statues of the ugly ox, the Yin tiger, and the Shen monkey, and the other nine bronze statues are still missing. Now Sotheby's suddenly announced the auction of bronze statues of the Chinese zodiac, which naturally attracted the attention of all Chinese media.
The domestic media reported the news that Sotheby's auction house in Hong Kong will auction "Hai Pig" at the same time. The national cultural relics department also protested on the first schedule and strongly condemned Sotheby's auction house for this behavior, hoping that it could cancel the auction. But it was rejected by Sotheby's decisively.
The national cultural relics department can only repeatedly appeal to declare that this belongs to Chinese cultural relics and China has absolute ownership of it.
However, this kind of argument is obviously extremely weak. The vast majority of Chinese people are calling on the state to come forward to buy "Haizhu" so that Chinese cultural relics will not fall into the hands of foreigners again. After all, all Chinese feel sad about the catastrophe in old China a hundred years ago, and the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs are undoubtedly a clear proof of that sad history of blood and tears. Now that the new China has been established, these cultural relics should be recovered.
Lin Feng held a press conference amidst the appeals of the people across the country.
"We" Second World is only a private joint venture, but as a Chinese, I have a sincere "Chinese heart". No matter how much money there is in the auction of "Haizhu" and how many competitors compete with us, "Second World will definitely auction it. and donate to the country free of charge. At the same time, I want to tell everyone: no one can take cultural relics from other countries and put them in the museums of their own countries, saying that they are helping others to keep them, but actually wanting to keep them for themselves is a shameful act. Lin Feng's generous words Immediately won the applause of the whole house, and the whole country was full of praise. Various media outlets reported on this matter in large pages, praised Lin Feng's patriotism, and compared him to the head of the country.
Suddenly, "Second World". Even those parents and teachers who are extremely indignant about the game have to admit the patriotism of "Second World" at this moment.
Mr. Zhu also called immediately.
"Xiaolin, our country is very lucky to have such a patriotic young talent like you!" Mr. Zhu sighed.
However, Lin Feng always felt that there was another meaning in it.
Dealing with cadres is so tiring, there will always be several meanings hidden in what you say.
As the competitors of "Second World", many other online game companies watched with a sneer. Lin Feng and "Second World" really relied on this matter this time. Attracted a lot of popularity and attention. The benefits of harvesting are enviable. But such a high-profile "Second World" can't afford to go around as long as other people have a little bit of tricks at the auction.
Hmph, I'd like to see if you'll fall hard this time. Many game company bosses secretly have bad thoughts.
Amid heated discussions, Lin Feng took Wu Zhaopu to Hong Kong. Accompanying him was Li Zhiyou, which was Lin Feng's small compensation to Li Zhiyou.
After getting off the plane in Hong Kong, Lin Feng and his party were surrounded by reporters from Hong Kong.
This is different from Lin Feng's previous visit to Hong Kong. In the past, Lin Feng was nothing more than a rich man in the mainland. In the eyes of many Hong Kong reporters, he was nothing more than mediocre. But now "Second World. After acquiring "Shun" and "Zhen", it is already a giant in Qujie, and its value will rise even higher. According to estimates from all walks of life, if NASDAQ in the United States finally approves this acquisition, its shares will be allowed to be listed on Nasdaq. Dak's re-listing of Linfeng Assets will be close to that of Chinese rich Li Ka-shing.
It is undoubtedly a terrifying thing to have Li Ka-shing's wealth at the age of 12. Moreover, the emotional dispute between Lin Feng and Marceline, the pop queen, also excited the gossip-loving Hong Kong paparazzi. What's more, this time Lin Feng announced in a high-profile manner that no matter how much money he spends, he will definitely win the "Hai Pig." This pride and courage is even more exciting and anticipating.
Faced with all kinds of questions raised by many Hong Kong reporters and a large number of paparazzi, Lin Feng smiled.
"The relationship between me and Marceline is a private matter and I don't want to say too much. But Marceline is a real pop star and I hope everyone can support her more. As for whether there will be someone who will have a hard time with me in this walk at the auction I made things difficult for me at the meeting, and I would like to reiterate that I bought the Haizhu this time not to "show off" or to show off its prestige, but just to save the face of the Chinese people. As a Chinese, I am obliged to recover the national treasure for China. I want to dump an auction if someone is purely trying to make things difficult for me. I would like to tell you in advance that this is not making things difficult for me, but making things difficult for all Chinese people and against hundreds of millions of Chinese people. "
Lin Feng said very forcefully in front of many reporters.
All the reporters were stunned by these words. This is a super big hat. To fight against Lin Feng is to fight against all Chinese people. No matter who it is or which company, if it spreads the price of "Hai Pig" at the auction, it will definitely lose its image in mainland China and directly affect its company. Product sales in mainland China.
Looking at the astonished expressions of many reporters, Lin Feng smiled coldly. In the past, the state purchased the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs through the Poly Group, and each time it spent a huge amount of money to snap up the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs. And the consequence is that everyone knows that auctioning off Chinese national treasures to make money and "slaughtering" China as if they were being taken advantage of makes Lin Feng extremely unhappy.
Lin Feng said this at the moment to elevate it to the height of a national complex. It is very simple to fight against yourself at the auction, that is to fight against the billions of Chinese people. Lin Feng does not believe that someone will offend Chinese consumers by blatantly driving up the price of "Hai Pig" regardless of the temptation of China, the world's largest consumer market in the future.
Although this little "Hai pig" was auctioned by Lin Feng himself, what Lin Feng said was to warn all foreigners not to rely on the auction of Chinese national treasures to make a fortune.
The Chinese cannot be bullied, humiliated, let alone killed!
"Hi Lin, welcome!" At this moment, Li Zekai made the bodyguards annoyed that many reporters squeezed in.
Lin Feng smiled and stepped forward to hug Li Zekai. This auction is entirely in Li Zekai's face, otherwise Sotheby's would not agree to do such a violation of industry ethics.
Cameras flashed in the hands of many reporters. The second son of a Chinese rich man is known as the "Asian villain" and the other is younger and fearful that he may become a Chinese rich man at any time. These two will undoubtedly determine the future financial order of the Chinese community.
"Let's go, I've set up a banquet for you and introduced some friends to you." Li Zekai smiled and pulled Lin Feng towards his Rolls-Royce.
"By the way, if Miss Zhuang didn't come, my Rolls-Royce can't help but hit it again!"
Li Zekai looked at Li Zhiyou next to Lin Feng and said hello, then joked.
Lin Feng smiled. When Allegra first came to Hong Kong, he crashed Li Zekai's Rolls-Royce head-on.
But just as Lin Feng was about to get in the car, a middle-aged woman in her teens came over.
"You are Mr. Lin, right? My husband has been waiting for Mr. Lin at home for a long time. If Mr. Lin has nothing too important, can you come with me?" The middle-aged woman looked at Lin Feng with a smile and said.
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback at first, and then immediately guessed the identity of this person. This woman should be Mr. Jin Yong's current wife, Lin Leyi, who still has the same surname as herself.
"Richard is sorry, it seems that I have to apologize. I will go with this lady to meet her husband first." Lin Feng clasped his fist at Li Zekai.
Li Zekai's face was slightly displeased. Today, he invited several high-ranking officials in Hong Kong's financial circles. Among them was one of Sotheby's executives who was in charge of this auction. Everyone was waiting for Lin Feng. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng broke the appointment temporarily. Is there anyone in Hong Kong more important than the Li family?
Lin Feng naturally saw the slight displeasure on Li Zekai's face and quickly whispered in his ear.
After listening to this, Li Zekai's face suddenly filled with surprise and envy, and he looked at the middle-aged woman with a little more respect.
The word "Jin Yong" in Hong Kong represents a culture, a trend, and even a catty status. It can be said that Jin Yong's status in Hong Kong's literary circles is as high as that of the Li family in Hong Kong's financial circles. After all, there is only one Jin Yong financial circle in Hong Kong, in addition to Li Ka-shing and the Guo family Li Shau-kee.
Many reporters were shocked when they saw Lin Feng and a mysterious woman leave. It is rare for someone to be able to sweep the face of the second son of Li Ka-shing, a rich man in Hong Kong. Suddenly a group of good paparazzi jumped into the car and followed him.
But when they got to the destination, there was a burst of exclamation. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng came to Jin Yong's mansion. The paparazzi of these good deeds immediately retreated one after another. He is not afraid of those celebrities and wealthy paparazzi, but he is extremely afraid of these literary figures and many reporters. As a reporter, I am not afraid of going to court or being scolded, but if I offend these writers, I will have their fault. If you want to scold people with these pens, you can scold people for three days and three nights, and there is no repeated scolding. You have nowhere to go, and you have nowhere to scold.
But you still can't get a handle on it.
Especially the highly respected "Taishan Beidou" like Jin Yong is even more respected by Hong Kong people. Many reporters and paparazzi can only retreat.
But why does Jin Yong want to see Lin Feng? All reporters wondered.
The next day, all the gossip magazines in Hong Kong put a big question mark on the back of the photo of Lin Feng walking into Jin Yong's mansion. What is the relationship between a tycoon, a business elite and the writer Jin Yong?
Everyone can't guess it but only knows that according to the "convention" something big is going to happen.
