Christie's (CHRISTIE'S) is one of the world's famous art auction houses. Its goods bring together rare art, famous watches, jewelry, cars and wine from all over the world.
Christie's offices are located in 90 major cities around the world, and regularly hold auctions in 16 locations around the world. In addition, they also provide auction-related services, including art storage and security, education, art picture library and property.
In 2005, Christie's' global auction totaled 1.8 billion pounds (US$3.2 billion), the highest record in Christie's history, further confirming its leadership in the industry.
Christie's Auction House, founded in London by James Christie's in 1766, is the oldest art auction house in the world.
On December 5, 1766, James Christie's held his first auction in London; since then, Christie's Auction House has been committed to providing customers with high-quality and excellent service.
James Christie's, who has a steady style, speaks good and has a great sense of humor, evolved the auction into a sophisticated art, and held several very important auctions from the 18th to the 19th century.
In late October 2008, Christie's announced that it would auction bronze beast-headed rat and rabbit-headed bronze statues in the Old Summer Palace in China from February 23 to 25, 2009 in Paris, France.
After the news came out, it sparked heated discussions among mainland Chinese people, and nearly 100 people formed a lawyer team to pursue it.
On February 24, 2009, the French court approved the auction.
At 8 pm local time on February 25, 2009, at the special auction of the collection of Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergers held in the Grand Palais in Paris, France, the rat head numbered 677 started with 9 million euros.
No one held a sign at the scene where 1,200 agents could be accommodated, and only three telephone buyers were competing to bid.
The auctioneer called the telephone agent Douma.
After bidding for 10 million, 11 million, 12 million and 13 million, the rat head finally finished the hammer with 14 million euros.
After that, the rabbit head with the number 678 started directly at 10 million, and was eventually sold for 14 million euros. The buyer also participated in the auction by phone.
In less than 5 minutes, the two beast heads had become traders, totaling approximately RMB 2.8 billion.
Thomas Sedox bought it as an agent for the mysterious buyer, and Christie's did not reveal the buyer's true identity.
On March 2, 2009, the person who captured the animal's head was confirmed to be Mr. Cai Mingchao, a famous collector in mainland China.
Christie's has ignored the opposition of mainland Chinese people and the Chinese government's repeated urging to auction the bronze statues of rat heads and rabbit heads in the Old Summer Palace that have been lost overseas. The State Administration of Cultural Heritage has clearly stated that it will not recognize it and will strengthen the review and management of Christie's auction house's activities in mainland China.
Therefore, after Christie's, it mainly held auctions of lost cultural relics in China in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has become one of Christie's's's three most important auction cities in the world, and it holds spring and autumn auctions on time every year.
The Hong Kong Spring Auction is usually at the end of May, and the autumn Auction is at the end of November and early December. If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be many heavyweight national treasures in this year's autumn auction. Li Changsheng built his own private museum at a high profile at this time, and in fact he was also prepared to bleed, so that those people could take out the good things in their hands and give them a chance to make money.
There will be money donations, but it is impossible to donate too much. It is meaningless. It will only make some big rats cheaper. On the contrary, buying back the important national treasures lost overseas can be more inspiring and improving your public image.
Looking online to check the relevant news, who would remember how much money the super rich donated, when and why the incident and disaster donated money? Almost all of them were how these rich people spent a lot of money to regain the treasures lost overseas from Europe and the United States. In this regard, the He family next door really thoroughly understood this trick, so many netizens in the mainland have a good impression of the He family and the gambling king.
Changsheng, are you really planning to buy a leader?Referring to the time six years ago, this time it will have to double under normal circumstances. If it is a leader with a very symbolic significance, it may be able to exceed 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
You are afraid that you have underestimated the greed of those people. My father asked for the price before and asked for 100 million euros.
Li Jiacheng was really surprised. He thought that those old nobles were greedy, but he really didn't expect that they would be so greedy. He was really a group of old hooligans. That was a bronze statue. If it weren't for the great symbolic significance and were very popular, who would have spent so much money?
It probably was the ones who started it.
Li Changsheng didn't care much about this. He could make money by making a movie later. He could also mock and disgust those European and American hooligans. It would be fine if he could really spend 100 million euros to buy it. He didn't plan to buy a lot. He just wanted to buy a few that were shocking enough.
However, such a high-priced takeover is indeed aiding the evil, because it means that many money-laundering groups hiding behind the scenes of money laundering through artworks will be more convenient when laundering money later, while many real investors and collectors are in trouble and find that they can't afford it at all. It will be more difficult for the country to welcome the lost cultural relics in the future. They are so valuable, why should I return it for free?
Yazi is now mainly checking the museum's monitoring and anti-theft system, which is naturally very advanced. Some private museums pay more attention to these issues than large museums, because they are all their own things. If you lose a few items, you will also suffer losses.
There must be room for improvement. First of all, the security must be replaced, including monitoring and many permissions. The management must also undergo major changes. The collections here will only become more and more abundant and more valuable.
Changsheng, how do you plan to operate this place later?
Of course, it is free. Make an appointment on TVB's official website. Only 3,000 people are welcomed into the museum every day, and then open some nearby shops and restaurants at the door, just lose less.
Li Jiacheng directly gave a thumbs up to his tiny man. This situation is indeed extraordinary. If he were to be afraid that he would really not be willing to let go blood for a long time. God knows how much money would be lost.
