"George, how should we deal with this matter? I asked my lawyer and we can't sue each other.
Because the contract clearly stated that what we bought was not a Picasso or a Leonardo da Vinci painting.
Moreover, the other party has also lost trace.
Even the money went into the Swiss Union Bank.
UBS refuses to disclose the other party's information..." Jordan Penniman asked.
Jordan Penniman is also a collector and art dealer. This time, the gallery under his name received a total of eight paintings, and the losses were heavy.
Now that the art market is under attack, they, the art dealers, have suffered the most.
"I also asked you what you said.
The UBS told me that after the money went into the UBS, it was then transferred to Mitsubishi Bank and entered into the account of a company.
This company is registered in the Cayman Islands.
Nothing else can be found." George Fairburn also said.
"Then what should we do now? Just watch the art market fall like this?"
“I’ve been thinking about how to handle this for the past few days.
Or we should do nothing and let time fade away everything." George Fairburn looked at the few people sitting in the reception room.
These people are all art dealers, with galleries and art shops under their names in various European countries.
"Yes, time will forget everything. We can do nothing. After a while, everyone will forget about this matter, and the price of art will naturally increase again.
And we can take advantage of this incident to purchase a batch of artworks at a low price."
This is a businessman who can always find something more beneficial to him in adversity.
"I'm just afraid that it will happen again after a while!
If he doesn't come to Paris, he can go to Zurich, Rome, London, or New York.
This time he left a fake imprint, what if he didn’t? Who among us can find out the authenticity?”
"Wait, wait! Jobs, you just mentioned imprinting, and I suddenly had an idea.
Why can't we have an art exhibition?" George Fairburn had an idea and hurriedly interrupted Jobs.
"What do you mean? We still have to promote him?" Jobs said dissatisfied.
"Yes! We just want to promote him! Make him famous!
After statistics, there were a total of 345 imitations that appeared this time.
It can be said that the works of the top ten artists have all been imitated.
Apart from anything else, this man is definitely a genius!"
"George, what do you want to say?"
"It's very simple. We helped him become famous. When he becomes famous, and when counterfeiting is no longer feared by everyone, but is sought after, will counterfeiting still affect the art market?" George Fairborn was very confused.
He said with a curious smile.
"However, before that, we should get all the imitations in our hands." Jordan Penniman also showed a foxy smile.
"Cheers!" George Fairburn raised the coffee in his hand and gestured to everyone.
The Paris art market is making waves again.
Zhang Junping didn't know about the dirty tricks of George Fairburn and others.
In fact, even if you know it, there is nothing you can do about it.
This is a conspiracy.
This crucial operation was of great benefit to him without any harm.
…………
"Smith, it's nice to see you again!" In Smith's office, Zhang Junping and Smith shook hands and hugged each other affectionately.
"Dear Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought you had returned to China." Smith enthusiastically moved Zhang Junping to the sofa.
"I went to Zurich and then Paris.
I went to feel the artistic atmosphere." Zhang Junping smiled and talked about his itinerary.
“Zurich and Paris are both beautiful cities, and my wife and I often go there.
Did you meet a beautiful woman in Paris?"
"That's not true. I sold a few paintings there and then came back!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Your paintings must be very valuable. Paris is the capital of art, and the people there have good taste!" Smith complimented with a smile.
Didn't take it seriously.
Zhang Junping didn't say much.
After chatting with Smith for a few words, Zhang Junping turned the topic to business.
"Smith, do you still remember what I said when we first met?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"What did you say when we first met?
You mean China...oh! The meeting you mentioned has already been held?"
"Yes, it is already the 27th of December!
The conference that affected China for a century has been concluded.
If Smith pays attention to the news about China, he will definitely find something different from the past." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Maeve, sort out the recent news about China and bring it to me!" Smith was also a resolute person, so he directly picked up the phone and ordered to his secretary.
"Smith, I am here this time to invite you to China as a guest and to learn about China.
There is a huge market there, an untapped market.
I can say unceremoniously that whoever can own the Chinese market in the future will own the entire world."
"Zhang, I don't know much about China, so it's not convenient for me to make an evaluation.
However, now that the European market has matured, the room for growth is very narrow.
My colleagues and I are very optimistic about the Asian market.
We have recently been discussing the feasibility of building a factory in India." Smith revealed a not-so-secret piece of news.
It is no secret that the Volkswagen Group went to India for inspection.
Anyone who cares can know.
"Smith, as a friend I won't say which one is better, China or India.
I suggest you go to China to investigate before making a decision." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
Maeve was very efficient. In less than five minutes, she organized the things Smith asked for and brought them over.
And mark all the news about China.
Smith took the newspaper and began to read the news about China carefully.
Zhang Junping did not disturb Smith's reading, but drank coffee quietly and waited for him.
After a while, Smith raised his head.
"Zhang, you are right! This is indeed a meeting concerning the fate of the country.
I see the determination of the Chinese government!
I accept your invitation and I will go to China for inspection next spring." Smith made a very decisive decision.
A successful businessman can see business opportunities through a few words in the newspaper.
"You are very welcome. I will also invite Mr. Smith to my home to taste Chinese food." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
After taking care of Smith, Zhang Junping called Kevin Cranston and made an appointment to visit him.
This time, Zhang Junping did not mention inviting Kevin Cranston to China.
I was just a guest and presented my new painting of the Virgin Mary.
Naturally, I got the sincere thanks from Kevin Cranston.
Zhang Junping also had his own reasons for not mentioning business matters.
First, Kevin Cranston is only the technical director, not the decision-maker.
Second, BJ is not suitable for developing the rubber industry.
After visiting Kevin Cranston, Zhang Junping returned to Berlin.
The mattress he ordered in Berlin was almost ready.
I packed the mattresses, toilets, switches, indoor lamps and other electrical appliances I bought, found an import and export trading company, and sent them to China.
I estimate that by the time we arrive in China, it will be next spring.
After handling these, fly directly to Benzi country.
Motoko Tokyo Ginza Hotel.
"Sir, are you back from Europe?" Yamashita Shinichi's eyes were red with excitement when he saw Zhang Junping again.
"Well, I'll come back and see how your development is going?" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
Yamashita Shinichi quickly reported on the company's recent development and achievements.
Regarding the difficulties, Shin Yamashita did not mention a word.
It's not easy for you anymore. We can't cause any more trouble to you.
This is Yamashita Shinichi's innermost thoughts.
"Well! Yamashita-kun, overall, you did a good job!
Are there any difficulties with the TV project?"
"Hi! Sir, the TV project, because some technologies are patented technologies.
The other party refuses to sell or the price is too high, so we are thinking of other ways..."
"Are you short of money?" Zhang Junping asked directly.
"Yes!" Yamashita Shinichi struggled for a long time, and finally lowered his head and admitted in frustration.
"I will inject another US$300 million into the company later.
With this money, I believe most patent issues can be solved.
Yamashita-kun, through the TV project, have you figured out something?"
"Xinyi is ignorant, sir, please speak clearly."
"What is the most important thing in the twentieth century?
Talent and technological strength are the most important.”
"Hi!"
"I'm not investing so much money into you to go all out to build a TV project.
The TV project must continue to be established and try to form a complete production chain.
More importantly, we will take advantage of this investment opportunity in China to establish our R&D center.
Whether it's a TV project, chemical materials, or textile industry.
We all need to have our own R&D center.
This R&D center can be built in China, where the R&D costs are even lower." Zhang Junping said in a persuasive way.
"Hi!" Yamashita Shinichi's respect for Zhang Junping has risen to the level of belief, so every word he says to Zhang Junping is an edict for Yamashita Shinichi.
“Nowadays, TV screens are still cathode ray tube displays, right?
But I know that in Bald Eagle and in Europe, some people have already begun to study more advanced LED display technology.
What should we do? Now we are stuck in the throes of paying patent fees.
What about in the future? Will we continue to make people choke us and pay patent fees?" Zhang Junping said very seriously.
"Hi! Don't worry, sir, I will definitely set up a research and development center and strive to be ahead of the Bald Eagle and the Europeans to develop more advanced display technology."
"Well, I just gave an example.
The TV project is just a starting point for us, washing machines and refrigerators are not our focus either.
We want to use the TV project to enter the electronics industry.
Now, the bald eagles already have pagers and mobile phones.
These are new things and new technologies in the electronics industry.
We have to find a way to catch up.
How much money we make is not the purpose of our business!
We must always be at the forefront of technology!”
"Hi!"
"Go! I'm waiting for your good news!" Zhang Junping gave one last encouragement and ended the conversation with Yamashita Shinichi.
After seeing off Yamashita Shinichi, Zhang Junping came to the headquarters of Mitsubishi Bank.
The money was transferred from the digital age through linked accounts and transferred layer by layer, and finally $300 million was injected into the account of Shinichi Industrial Co., Ltd.
It was Shikako Murata who helped Zhang Junping handle the transfer procedures.
It's a pity that we didn't know each other when we met on the opposite side.
Little did she know that the person opposite was the bald eagle man she had always remembered.
The transfer procedures are complicated and troublesome.
Especially when transferring money to a public account through a public account, you need to show the official seal and financial seal.
As mentioned before, this country is a country that recognizes its seal but not its people.
Every official seal and every name seal has a photo and is strictly registered.
After transferring US$300 million to Shinichi Industrial Co., Ltd., Zhang Junping bought the remaining US$390 million into gold futures contracts.
Five times leverage, buy 70%.
This time in Paris, 3.45 billion French francs were collected from selling paintings.
According to the current exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the franc, that is 690 million U.S. dollars.
After completing the capital injection, Zhang Junping took Yamashita Shinichi to a hot spring in the evening to connect with each other and explain some things.
"Yamashita-kun, the money has been transferred to the company account."
"Sir, Shinichi is really incompetent, so I'm asking you to worry about it!" Yamashita Shinichi bowed to Zhang Junping.
"Shinichi Yamashita, there is a saying in China that everything is difficult at the beginning.
Once you get started, everything will be fine." Zhang Junping comforted him.
"After New Year's Day, you will arrange for people to go to China for business inspections.
The scope of the investigation is mainly chemical materials, textiles, and televisions, but it should not be limited to these three areas.
We can also do other things, such as the refrigerators and washing machines I mentioned before.
There are many such companies here in Benzi. We can definitely buy them here and then sell them to them.
We help them build factories, train employees, and make money easily.
China's industry is very backward, and this is our opportunity.
Our goals cannot just be set here in Japan, but we can do the same in Europe.
In short, depending on what China needs, we will buy it and then sell it to them.
We don’t want foreign exchange, we just want their goods, this is our advantage.
In order to ensure this advantage, and to quickly turn Chinese goods into money.
We also need to form a large trading company.
You can also acquire a trading company.”
"Hi!
Trading company, I have people paying attention to it.
At present, we have found several suitable trading companies. Due to financial problems, we did not conduct substantive negotiations before.
Therefore, I did not report to you." Yamashita Shinichi stood up and explained to Zhang Junping respectfully.
"Okay, now that the business is done, you can go and relax!" Zhang Junping smiled and drove Yamashita Shinichi away.
The guests at the hot spring bath still remember Zhang Junping and his hobbies.
Arrangements were made for him early, and two very clean women helped him do the SPA.
As for Takeuchi Emi and Kamei, it has already ended.
Zhang Junping had told them clearly before he left last time.
They stayed with Zhang Junping for a few days, and Zhang Junping arranged a job for them and gave them a new start.
Everything is fair and reasonable.
As for raising a canary.
Zhang Junping is not that stupid. He can't come to the book once a year. If he raises a canary, should he raise it for himself or for others?
It's good for everyone to get what they need.
After staying in Benzi for a day, Zhang Junping set off back to China.
It’s been almost two months since I left.
After getting off the plane at the airport, everything felt so friendly.
There are so many good things out there, but they are not as good as your own home.
In this era, BJ already has taxis.
Zhang Junping called a taxi and returned home.
The day Zhang Junping came back happened to be New Year's Day.
Everyone didn't go to work, and the courtyard was very lively.
"Hey, Pingzi is back?"
"Hingzi, I'm going out for a long time this time!"
"Where are you going this time? Or the Northeast?"
The greetings are very cordial.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Wang, Mrs. Zhou, and Brother Zhao are all here!" Zhang Junping responded with a smile.
"It's not easy for you either. You have to run to the northeast in this winter."
"Brother Zhu, I didn't go to Northeast China this time. I went abroad this time.
I went to Japan and Europe to visit a group." Zhang Junping said as he took out a handful of chocolates and gave them to the children who were running wildly and playing in the yard.
Finally, those who did not have children at home also received a piece.
"This is the chocolate I brought back from a capitalist country.
You guys also have a taste of capitalism." Zhang Junping said jokingly.
When he heard that Zhang Junping had just returned from abroad, he cheered and people in the courtyard surrounded him.
One by one, Zhang Junping was asked to talk about his experiences abroad and asked him whether there were cars everywhere abroad.
Do you eat meat and bread every day?
The weird question made Zhang Jun's hair a little big.
There was even a young man who actually asked him whether the foreign devils peeed in the open and whether they all bathed outside.
What do you want to do?
After Zhang Junping told everyone about his experiences abroad, he said: "Actually, things are just like that abroad, and the life of the rich is really good.
However, there are also many poor people.
Many poor people live worse lives than in our old society.
They want to sell their sons and daughters but there is no place to sell them.
Because foreign laws do not allow them to buy or sell people.
so!
Abroad, many children from poor families end up as thieves, beggars,...
So I say! Our society is better!
At least we guys can have enough to eat.
We are humane, and if someone is in trouble, the neighbors will lend a hand."
"There is nothing wrong with what Pingzi said. Although we are poor, we are still humane!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
