Zhao Laosi spent a lot of money and effort on this auction. He not only contacted the auction house and came up with some decent auction items. He also said in public that after setting a price for each auction item, he would give the same price for charity. In other words, the more lively the auction, the more Zhao Laosi will lose. But it doesn't matter, Zhao Laosi paid this money to fight for a better tomorrow. Moreover, after working hard in Mingzhu for decades, he really needs a good reputation to clear himself up. Tonight is the best moment.
After various dishes were served, the auction officially began. Seeing that Zhao Laosi had arranged the guests well, Minister Li warmly greeted Zhao Laosi to take a seat and sat next to Xiao Zheng.
Faced with such an arrangement, Zhao Laosi could only accept it. And before the first auction item started to be raised, he had a drink with Xiao Zheng.
"Boss Zhao is really a philanthropic person and is willing to hold such a grand charity dinner to do good deeds." Xiao Zheng put down his wine glass and said with a smile. "You will be blessed in the future."
"I don't dare to hope for more blessings. I just hope that I can give you young people a good start." Zhao Laosi smiled implicitly. "Mr. Xiao, since you are here, I would like to join in the fun and give you a price. Although this Qing Dynasty tea set is not an extremely valuable item, it was also passed down from the palace. It has some play value."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Xiao Zheng smiled evilly, raised his hand and said, "One million."
As the youngest guest in the venue, Xiao Zheng's quotation obviously attracted the interest of many wealthy business owners. In addition, this is the first auction. Since most people are here, they will definitely not sit still. So they put in quotes one after another, and soon the price reached five million.
After all, it's because the celebrities sitting here are all wealthy people. Otherwise, there is no way that an auction item like this, with a market price of seven or eight hundred thousand, would have reached five million or even stopped. Of course, on the other hand, there are also people who want to see Fourth Master Zhao lively. Aren't you a fool with too much money? Let’s help you spend more.
Although there is some suspicion of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to oneself, for an individual, it only costs a one-time price, but for Mr. Zhao, he has to stay with him to the end.
"Ten million." After Xiao Zheng called out the price to five million, he raised his hand in a playful manner and said.
Ten million.
Sitting aside, Fourth Master Zhao wished he could strangle this little brat who was causing trouble. This piece of shit is worth ten million. Although nominally it came from the palace. But who knows if it was used by eunuchs, maids, or emperors and empresses. Besides, even if it was really used by the emperor, it’s been over a hundred years now, so who would use it to drink tea. It's not just a decoration. And it’s still an ornament with little ornamental value.
Who the hell is interested in admiring a tea set with a magnifying glass every day? You must be sick.
Xiao Zheng's huge price increase dissuaded the group of wealthy businessmen and celebrities from joining in the fun. But he wasn't angry because of Xiao Zheng's domineering offer. On the contrary, each of them glanced meaningfully at Fourth Master Zhao, who was sitting next to Xiao Zheng. I secretly thought that this kid would dare to stab him even if he was sitting next to Fourth Master Zhao. He is worthy of being a young man surrounded by mountains and mountains.
"The first time in ten million."
"Ten million times a second time."
"The third time ten million,"
"make a deal."
The auctioneer looked at Xiao Zheng with a smile and said politely: "Thank you again, Mr. Xiao, for your contribution to charity."
Xiao Zheng raised his glass and smiled, the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle.
After the first auction item ended, the auctioneer told two jokes on the stage to liven up the atmosphere. He also named Xiao Zheng and praised him, saying that his future life is formidable and his future is boundless. Immediately afterwards, he launched the second round of auction items.
The second round is a curio. The color is mellow and the light is shining, which complements the beautiful hostess and is very touching. Within a few minutes, this antique was auctioned off by a wealthy businessman sitting in the back, with a bidding price of eight million.
Charity auctions can be tricky. The worst will not be shot first and the best will be shot last. On the contrary, the order is disrupted, and from time to time, an eye-catching auction item appears. One is to arouse the atmosphere of the auction, and the other is to make the guests confused. Increasing interest in auction items. But after Xiao Zheng took the first shot, he became completely silent. Not as crazy as it was at first.
Of course. In such an occasion, except for those who love to show off, normal people would not take pictures one after another. Firstly, none of the rich and famous people present were short of money. Secondly, these auction items only made a loss when they were bought home. It was a complete loss-making transaction. If Minister Li hadn't promoted this charity gala behind the scenes, few people would have given Mr. Zhao, an old gangster, face. Not to mention wasting money on show. At least it won't be a show in an event led by Mr. Zhao.
While the people were auctioning, they were chatting and laughing, eating delicious food and drinking fine wine. The atmosphere could not be described as disharmonious. Zhao Laosi felt slightly comforted when he saw that the normal dinner was held in a peaceful atmosphere. Although the cost of hosting this dinner is nearly 100 million, it is in order to enter the upper class circles and to gain recognition from this group of celebrities and wealthy people, including politicians. He is still willing to spend such unjust money.
Soon, the auction items came to the final stage.
Generally speaking, the order of the previous auction items is disrupted. But auctions all over the world follow the same rhythm. That was the last auction item, destined to be the most dazzling and precious in the audience.
When the hostess revealed the last auction item in front of everyone, there was a clear exclamation from the audience. At the same time, Fourth Master Zhao also had a proud smile on his face. I am very proud in my heart.
Being recognized by these shopping mall bosses is far more proud than defeating Ye Shiguan. On the road, Fourth Master Zhao is the well-deserved leading brother. By defeating Ye Shiguan, at most he has defended his sovereignty and defeated an enemy who tried to challenge his authority. And causing shock in this new world is the real meaning to Fourth Master Zhao. This is also the scene he hopes to see tonight.
The last auction item was a diamond that was as bright as a star. Also known as Angel's Tears. It is different from the Angel Tears that shocked the world and was worth more than one billion. Although the Angel's Tears that Fourth Master Zhao collected is not as famous as that one, it is definitely not comparable in terms of value. But as far as the auction house is concerned, this small model of Angel's Tears is currently extremely popular. It is also the auction item with the fastest price increase in recent years. Every time it is auctioned, its value increases by tens of millions. It is a well-known and influential auction item in celebrity circles.
"Whether this Angel's Tears is given to a lover, mother, or used for collection and investment, it is quite meaningful. I won't go into details about its origin and historical value. I believe everyone here knows it better than me. ” the auctioneer announced with a smile. "Now, the bidding begins."
