Chapter 1557: Endorsement in advance 2
There are many auction houses in the world, and Bao Zixuan will certainly not invite just one. Christie's, which is as famous as Sotheby's, is of course also invited.
Christie's Auction House, founded by James Christie's in London in 1766, is the oldest art auction house in the world. On December 5, 1766, James Christie's conducted his first auction in London; since then,
Christie's auction
The firm is committed to providing customers with high-quality and excellent services. James Christie's steady style, eloquence and great sense of humor evolved auctioning into a refined art, and conducted a number of very important auctions between the 18th and 19th centuries.
auction.
The 1980s were the boom years for Christie's. In 1980, works by Impressionist painters from the Ford Collection in New York were sold for 6 million pounds. From then on, the market for Impressionist paintings was promising and there was a tendency to catch up. In 1984, 7 paintings collected by Chatsworth were purchased.
A work by a great European painter before the 18th century was auctioned and sold for a total of 20 million pounds. Among them, a work by Raphael sold for 3.5 million pounds. In the same year, an auction was held at Elweden Hall in Suffolk.
It also sold for £6.2 million.
In 1985, "The Doctor Comes to Visit" by the Italian early Renaissance painter Mantegna became the most expensive work ever auctioned by a famous European painter before the 18th century, with a price of 8.1 million pounds. Impressionist paintings were not far behind. In 1986
Manet's "Mosner Street" sold for 7.7 million pounds, setting a record for an Impressionist work.
The above auction items currently all have a common owner - Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group. It can be said that although Bao Shaofu has been in the industry for a short time, he has become Christie's largest customer, and there is no one else. As long as it is an object that he is interested in, he will never
Let it go.
The most appropriate way to describe him is that he is stupid and has too much money, but no one dares to regard him as a fool. Almost all media define him as the smartest man in the world today. Is there something wrong with the world's perspective?
How could a man with such a high IQ be deceived so easily? It's just that he likes him and he has enough money. And he has to admit that the prices of these works of art have increased a lot, and Bao Zixuan has really made a lot of money.
With the entry of Heiyun Group, the price of art works around the world has increased a lot. This makes collectors who like to collect love and hate Bao Zixuan. In short, the emotions are very complicated. The price of art works is high, and their original collections
; But after a lot of improvement, the value will naturally increase accordingly. However, they find that the money is not enough. After all, at the current price, they can't buy the good things they like. With their little funds, they simply can't buy it.
Of course, Christie's did not dare to neglect the invitation of its largest client. Chris Christie, the female head of Christie's, decided to go to Fucaira in person to see what Bao Zixuan meant.
It must be said that this woman is definitely not a simple heroine; even so far in her life, she can make a good TV series.
In 1803, James Christie's died and Christie's Jr. took over the company. During his nearly 30 years in office, the auction results were mediocre. He only moved the auction house from the original Paul Road to 8 King Street, which is now the
The headquarters of Christie's. In 1831, Christie's Jr. also died. A man named William Manson joined the company and took charge of affairs. The company was renamed "Christie's and Manson Auction House".
However, during the Manson period, the auction results were not very good. In 1848, a 40-day auction of the Duke of Buckingham's collection was held in the Stoke Building, which only sold for 77,562 pounds. In 1859, Thomas Woods joined the company and took charge.
With great power, the company changed its name to "Christie's, Manson & Woods Auction House".
Due to historical relationships, the ownership structure of Christie's auction house is very complicated. The Christie's family is not the controlling shareholder, which makes many decisions unable to be implemented seriously.
Although Chris Christie is a member of Christie's, she is a woman after all; and she has two brothers and a sister. Logically speaking, it would not be her turn to take power.
Even the family can't handle it, and other shareholders are even less convinced.
But this little woman of short stature should rely on perseverance and talent to start as a small auctioneer and gradually improve her status. Becoming the first female head of Christie's in 200 years, I think only she knows the hardships best.
.
Chris Christie's certainly knows that Bao Zixuan has made such a big fuss and invited historians from all over the world to Fucaira. Now inviting Christie's shows that the inventory of cultural relics has been completed. How can it be said that Bao Zixuan is also the largest auction house?
Customers have to go through both emotionally and rationally. And as the other party, it is an honor to be able to invite you, but I dare not not give face.
Chris Christie decided to take her daughter and an expert in identifying Middle Eastern cultural relics there.
Aido-Chris Christie, Chris Christie's biological daughter. But who the father is, not even the Christie family members know. It is not easy for a single mother to raise her daughter to be a talented person.
Aido-Chris Christie is currently studying at the Royal College for Women. It can be said that she has received elite education since she was a child. She is also studying related majors in history and art. She has the attitude of inheriting her mother's business; although it is still fashionable to talk about it now
Early, but Chris Christie is definitely training in this direction.
After Ado Chris Christie got out of the car, she said with concern: "Mom, why did you call me back so suddenly?"
The Royal College for Girls was founded in 1865 and is located in Bath. It is one of the largest private boarding schools in the UK. The school has a long history and is well-equipped; it also provides first-class boarding services for boarding students. The school only has about 900 girls;
It is known for its first-class teaching quality and impressive examination results.
The school adopts closed management, and students will never be released unless there are special circumstances.
When I was in class, I was called back; it was the first time for Ado Chris Christie. So it meant that something important must have happened.
Although they are not very old, they may have been looked down upon since childhood, which makes them mature earlier than other children. Although Europe is relatively liberal, single mothers will also be ostracized when they get pregnant out of wedlock. Illegitimate children or illegitimate daughters are generally cleared.
It is difficult to obtain too many resources; as for inheriting the family business, it is even more unthinkable.
The idea of being well-matched applies to any place. If you are a noble, maybe both husband and wife are nobles. The husband finds a mistress and then gives birth to a child outside. In the end, he has to divide a lot of property. I wonder if the woman can accept it.
Especially women from wealthy families have an instinctive preference for illegitimate children. Chris Christie was able to send her daughter to the Royal College for Women, but she paid a heavy price, at least more than other parents. Even so,
Her daughter will still be ostracized at school; fortunately, Ai Duo can still understand her mother's difficulties and is usually very optimistic.
Seeing her daughter's caring tone, Chris Christie was very pleased. At least the education was successful and her daughter knew how to care about her as a mother.
Chrissy Christie smiled and said: "This is a great opportunity, and it is knowledge that cannot be learned at school." Bao Zixuan invited Christie to get cultural relics appraised in Fujairah, the world's top Middle Eastern cultural appraisal.
Experts will all pass by.”
"Based on Bao Zixuan's name, an invitation is officially issued; there must be a major discovery, even much bigger than we imagined. Haven't you always wanted to practice it! This opportunity is very good, come with me to Fucay
pull."
Ado Chris Christie was still very excited when she heard that her mother had been to the Middle East. Apart from Europe and the United States, she had not been to other places. And about Bao Zixuan, it is estimated that any girl would be curious about it. They all wanted to.
You have to see for yourself what kind of man he is. Although he is married, his popularity has definitely not decreased.
Both auction houses are making serious preparations. After all, not everyone can receive the invitation from Mr. Bao.
In fact, Bao Zixuan also had his own ideas about inviting two auction houses. He found that there were so many cultural relics, many of which were in large quantities; he could completely entrust and exchange some of them.
Neither the Black Cloud Museum nor the Fucaira Museum will sell cultural relics, but they can make the items more complete through exchange. And I have so many Solomon Temple gold coins in my hand, I have too many of them.
It's no use either.
It is completely possible to obtain good items that you do not have through exchange. However, Heiyun Group has no channels, so it can completely entrust Sotheby's and Christie's. They are both auction houses with more than 200 years of history, and there is absolutely no shortage of customer resources.
Some money should be made by others, there is no need to be too strict.
Moreover, the two auction houses are very professional in the appraisal of cultural relics. Whether it is for corporate reputation or family honor, they will not fool themselves with fakes, and most importantly, they will not dare.
For museums, the number of individual cultural relics does not need to be that large. But the variety must be complete, otherwise it will attract tourists.
In the future, Fucaira tourism will not become a pillar industry, but it will definitely be an important industry.
