I'm an almighty star

Chapter 884 Contact Mo Bai Immediately
"Christie's too bold."

When it was discovered that Christie's "Virga Maiden" was a fake, Sotheby's marketing manager "Ike" said angrily.

Although Sotheby's once auctioned fakes, it was all unintentional mistakes.

After all, no matter how powerful the appraiser is, they sometimes miss.

However, if this kind of blatant auction of fakes is exposed, it will definitely be the biggest scandal for Christie's.

"Boss, do you want to send the message now?"

With some excitement, Ike said: "If we release the news now, it will definitely hit Christie's hard."

However, Ike's proposal was rejected by Sotheby's general manager "Nice".

"It cannot be announced now."

Nice shook his head: "Announcing it now will indeed cause huge troubles for Christie's, but after all, it has not yet started selling, and they still have a chance to make up for it. In addition, they can also replace this fake. They can also explain to the outside world that this It’s not their fault, and the appraisers can only be blamed. Similarly, they will say that we also auctioned fakes back then.”

"However, if they don't, they will have a smooth auction."

"I just want them to hold the auction smoothly. Moreover, we can also go there to help them and help them hype their fakes to sky-high prices. As long as their fakes are successfully auctioned, we will expose this news. At that time , I believe that even if we don't make trouble for them, those giants who have successfully traded will make trouble for them."

"Boss, you are right."

A few days later, Christie's Picasso auction was successfully held.

There are no surprises.

When the 12 Picasso paintings appeared, not only some giant merchants participated in the auction, but even some national museums also participated.

After a series of melees, in the end, 12 Picasso works set a Christie's auction record with a total of 40 billion US dollars.

Among them, "Vilga Girl" has a unit price of more than 5 million US dollars, aspiring to the highest price of calligraphy and painting in the world.

"40 billion U.S. dollars, oh my god, converted into RMB, that's more than 270 billion RMB."

"Even if Picasso was alive again, he never thought that his paintings would be so valuable."

"I heard that 12 paintings were sold by a collector."

"A collector, it's impossible, which collector has such a rich man?"

"I don't know which collector it is, but what is certain is that it is indeed from one person."

"Well, it seems that there is another world-class rich man in the world, and he is still anonymous."

Facing the auction price of 40 billion US dollars, countless spectators were extremely shocked.

However, after they were shocked, an even more shocking piece of news came to light.

[According to rumors, "Vilga Girl" is a fake. 】

In the beginning, this news was sent out through gossip.

However, this news was really astonishing, even if it was a gossip, it spread to the whole world in an instant.

"The Virga Girl" is a fake?"

"Impossible, a world-class auction company will sell fakes?"

"What is impossible, even if it is a world-class auction company, there may be fakes."

"But, didn't there be a seller to conduct an appraisal before the auction?"

"But what if those experts cheated?"

"It should be impossible to fake it, it will affect your reputation too much. But if you don't fake it, there will also be fakes?"

"why?"

"Because there are some top fakes that even experts can't tell the difference."

Although this news is too unbelievable.

However, when the news was exposed, people in the circle sank in their hearts.

They felt the news might be true.

However, it was gossip in the end, and Christie’s auction house immediately issued an announcement: “Aiming at the fact that the “Verga Girl” that has been circulated in the Internet media recently is a fake, the auction house will seriously issue an announcement to the media. “Verga Girl” 》After being jointly identified by 12 experts from all over the world, it is confirmed that it is undoubtedly authentic. At the same time, we reserve the right to sue those media who publish false news, and hope that the relevant media will delete the false news. If it is not deleted within 24 hours, we will take certain legal measures .”

have to say.

Gossip like this is the most damaging to a company.

After this kind of gossip is released, there is no need to be responsible, but it will affect the company's image.Christie's had just auctioned off 12 Picasso works, and the buyer immediately contacted Christie's after hearing the gossip, requesting a return.

Return, how is this possible?

The auction has already been sold and returns are not possible.

Even if you buy a counterfeit, Christie's can't refund your money.

However, it is an auction company after all, if the counterfeit is sold at their auction venue, the impact will be too huge.

The business of the light ones will be damaged, and the heavy ones will have no one to participate in their auctions in the future.

For this reason, Christie's acted quickly. After the gossip appeared, they immediately issued an announcement.

It's just that Christie's didn't expect it.

Not only did their announcement not dissipate the news, but it made the whole incident ignite again.

[CCB TV station revealed that the original "Vilga Girl" is collected in the hands of the rich man Jim. 】

If it was just gossip before, then now it is the emergence of regular big media.

The previous gossip was just gossip, and there was no real hammer. At most, everyone was dubious.

However, now that it was exposed by a world-renowned formal media, it is not as simple as talking about it.

In order to prove that the "Vilga Girl" auctioned by Christie's auction house is a fake.

Ccb TV made a special 30-minute documentary.

Starting from Picasso's creation of "Virga Maiden", after decades, he talked about how many buyers this painting has passed through.

In the end, it was bought by the rich man Jim 10 years ago, which is documented.

Moreover, the rich man Jim has kept the painting very well during the past 10 years, and has not changed hands.

"Wow, the real hammer has appeared. It turns out that Christie's really sells fakes."

"Before I had some doubts about whether "The Girl of Virga" was a fake, but now that I look at it, it is undoubtedly a fake."

"Christie's is doomed. As a world-class auction company, it actually auctions fakes."

"What's even more disgusting is that Christie's even issued an announcement threatening everyone, saying that they want to resort to the law, come on, come on."

"It's already here, but it's not us. I think the rich man who took the picture of "Virga Maiden" must have nothing to do with Christie's."

There is only one copy of "Vilga Maiden".

Since it was photographed by the rich man Jim 10 years ago, and Jim has not changed hands in the past 10 years.

Then, there is no doubt that the "Vilga Girl" that appeared today must be a fake.

……

"Is the news reliable? Was "The Virga Girl" sold to the rich man Jim 10 years ago?"

"Boss, the news is reliable."

"Damn it, why didn't you find out such important news before?"

"Boss, it's not our fault. Sotheby's has never announced who the buyer of "Vilga Girl" was before 10 years ago. They didn't announce this news until today, in order to hit us."

"Sotheby's... this villain."

"Boss, what should we do now? Affected by this, in addition to the buyer who photographed "Vilga Girl" is going to return the product, several other buyers also intend to return the product. They are worried that their paintings may also be fake, but we ask them Guaranteed."

"Stop them first, by the way, what is the name of the collector who provided us with Picasso paintings?"

"Mo Bai."

"Why do you feel that this name is somewhat familiar?"

Christie's boss searched for Mo Bai's name in his mind.

He usually doesn't chase stars, nor does he watch any entertainment gossip news.

But he just felt that the name Mo Bai was very familiar.

After thinking for a while, the waiter's boss remembered a foreign military program.

Yes.

The boss of Christie's usually likes to watch the military column.

Anti-laser in smog.

Kelp wrapped around a submarine.

Meteor strikes aircraft carrier.

He finally knew who this Mo Bai was.

It turned out that he was a world-renowned deception master and the director of the Huaguo Strategic Deception Bureau.

However, when he figured out who Mo Bai was, the boss of Christie's was completely dumbfounded.

As a world-renowned deception master, is he really going to contact Mo Bai again?
