Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Before Holly woke up, he felt a wet touch on his face. Dilireba finished cleaning up early in the morning, kissed Holly and left the Rochester Hotel to continue working on the variety show.

She and Holly had talked about wanting to have children in a hidden marriage.

If nothing happens, after filming this variety show and the next drama, I will retire for two years.

After working as a desperate Sannyasin for two years, I have enough inventory to maintain the popularity during the two years of retirement.

She already felt that she couldn't leave Holly physically and mentally.

Be mentally prepared to accept any consequences.

Holly woke up at 10:30, saw Dilraba's WeChat message, and replied to her, letting her rest assured to film the variety show.

The acquisition of Aston Martin Racing has been completed, and Hawley is ready to pack up and return home.

While having breakfast, I came across a piece of news about Chinese students in London boycotting an auction house.

Very popular on the Internet.

Holly went to find out more because two first-class cultural relics appeared in the spring auction of Bonhams Auction House in the UK.

One is the King's Seal of Jinan from the Han Dynasty.

One is a carved red throne made by Emperor Qianlong.

Both items are not cultural relics that are normally circulating in the market, but are stolen cultural relics.

If it were exhibited in the British Museum, it might not cause such a big public outrage. Modern history cannot be changed. Apart from acceptance, it is to strive to strengthen the country and welcome the national treasures of the British Museum back to the country through diplomatic means.

But this road is difficult and long-term.

Now these two first-class cultural relics have actually appeared in the auction house.

It instantly aroused the anger of international students in London. As the Internet fermented, Bonhams has become the target of public condemnation.

Bonhams did not respond.

Hawley is a big shot in the collecting world and knows the auction house.

It was originally founded by an Englishman in Hong Kong City. After the return of Hong Kong City, the headquarters moved to London, England.

It is now the fifth largest auction house in the world.

It is also the most influential auction house in the UK after Sotheby's.

It is also a privately owned company.

There is no doubt that he has a high status in the auction house industry.

Hawley did not know who commissioned Bonhams to auction two first-class cultural relics to the public, but he knew that once they were leaked through this method, these two cultural relics may never return to the country.

And it will change in nature, and it is a collectible cultural relic that can be circulated.

The client probably also wanted to use the auction house to clear himself of the charge of "theft."

Holly felt a little angry and saw netizens leaving messages under his short video account.

"Isn't Mr. Huo in London? Mr. Huo should give Bonhams a good education."

"Eternal God, it's your turn to take action."

"The state should take care of it. We can't let the two documents flow abroad."

"No one can walk out of the British Museum smiling, it's so abhorrent."

"We should strengthen ourselves as a generation."

"Instructor, are you still in London? Can you come forward to take care of it?"

In the hearts of netizens, Instructor Huo is still the omnipotent super hero.

They all expected Instructor Huo to come forward to take back the two first-class cultural relics.

After finishing the meal, Holly asked Zhong Yiwen, "Sister Wen, please contact the embassy for me. I want to meet Ambassador Zheng."

"I'll contact you right away, sir." Zhong Yiwen said.

The best way to do this is to use diplomacy and ask the embassy to contact the relevant units and cancel the Bonhams auction.

The worst way is to use the money ability to directly bring back the national treasure at the auction.

Holly had two plans.

In the evening, Holly met with Ambassador Zheng at the embassy. Ambassador Zheng first congratulated Holly on his successful acquisition of Aston Martin Racing and the establishment of the first Chinese F1 team.

The two then talked about the Bonhams spring shoot.

Ambassador Zheng said bluntly: “We have clearly understood the news on the Internet and it is true.

Bonhams’ spring auction seriously violated international auction laws, and we have reported it to the relevant domestic authorities.

In the past few days, I will communicate with the British federal government, the royal family, the London Municipal Government and other units to strictly boycott Bonhams’ behavior and urge Bonhams to make rectifications and engage in compliant and legal auction activities. "

Holly also heard it. The only thing the embassy can do is cancel the spring auction. As for whether the cultural relics can be returned through diplomatic channels, it is hard to say.

After all, this has happened more than once or twice.

Holly knew it.

It seems that I have to take action on my own.

"Thank you, Ambassador Zheng. No matter what the outcome is, we must always give an explanation to the international students and the general public who care about this matter, so as to calm people's hearts." said Holly.

"Yes, Mr. Huo, we are already drafting a statement and it will be sent out tomorrow." Ambassador Zheng said.

Even overseas, sometimes the embassy has difficulty responding to emergencies.

Especially in the current international environment, it may be difficult for Ambassador Zheng and others to handle this matter.

After meeting Ambassador Zheng, Holly returned to the hotel and asked Zhong Yiwen to contact Matthew Green, the global CEO of Bonhams.

Talk to the businessman as a businessman.

Matthew Green respected Holly very much when he saw him. He is a big collector in China and has a high status in the Chinese collecting circle. He is a guest of the five major auction houses, including Bonhams.

"Mr. Huo, it's an honor to meet you in London. Congratulations on your successful acquisition of Aston Martin Racing." Matthew Green smiled, "I know why you met me today, but what I want to say is, this The matter is beyond my authority.”

He raised his hand and said: "I'm very sorry, I may not be able to meet your request."

Holly heard what he meant. There was a bigger figure behind this matter. Although he was the global CEO, he was just an ordinary director. On the board of directors, he alone could not decide this matter.

"We have met several times in Hong Kong City, and I have a good impression of you." Holly said bluntly, "I won't embarrass you here, just give me a message to the people behind you."

"OK, Mr. Huo, please speak!" Matthew Green stretched out his hand.

Holly said: “Ask them, does Bonhams still want to continue operating in the Chinese market?

It's that simple. "

"Oh~, Mr. Huo, this is simply bad information." Matthew Green covered his head and said.

He knows how important the Chinese market is to Bonhams, and he also knows how popular Asian cultural relics are in the world market.

Holly is directly warning them that if this incident is not handled well, Bonhams may have a difficult time in the Chinese market in the future.

"Green, I hope you can convey my exact words to them." Holly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Matthew Green left the Rochester Hotel with a sad look on his face. He knew that Holly had the ability in China to isolate an auction house or even withdraw from the Chinese market.

This is what he least wants to see as a professional manager.

……

The next morning, the embassy issued a statement warning and urging Bonhams to stop violating international regulations.

Hawley also retweeted the embassy's statement, and netizens left messages.

"The state has taken action and is waiting for the follow-up."

"I still have a bad feeling."

"Can it be forcibly confiscated? I feel like they will continue to auction it."

Is the concern of netizens normal, or is it because similar things have happened abroad before, and the final results were not satisfactory.

Holly saw a post that was liked by netizens, and the discussion was heated.

“What if Bonhams goes ahead with the auction?”

Hawley replied to the post: "No one has ever been able to take the item off my hands at the auction house."
