Dong Qianqiu is seventy-three years old this year. Five years ago, he stepped down from his administrative position. Two years ago, he stepped down from his teaching position and retired completely. He changed from an arrogant computer cryptography expert to a bird, dog, and sky Ordinary old man of years.
He has a very good relationship with Gu Lianyu and Shen Yi. The two families have been walking around together since they were young. He watched Gu Youlan grow up, watched her marry, and watched Luo Xingchuan fall to the ground.
So Luo Xingchuan suddenly called him to invite him to the banquet, and he readily agreed.
"The little girl speaks really good English," Dong Qianqiu praised without hesitation. "Did you grow up abroad? Or did you just come back from studying abroad?"
Ye Tang turned to face him at this time. When she saw her face clearly, Dong Qianqiu's old but stubborn eyes were a little dazed, "So it's you, Ye Tang!"
If it weren't for his eyes that were strange and alienated, Ye Tang would almost think he recognized himself.
Shen Yi was curious, "Do you know her?"
"Isn't she the girl in the surveillance video of Yuchu Department Store?"
"Oh, do you still care about gossip on the Internet? This is not your style," Shen Yi's impression of Dong Qianqiu is the technology house often referred to by young people today. When they were young, they also had celebrities and pop songs, but Dong Qianqiu didn't have anything at all. Interest, soak in the laboratory every day.
Dong Qianqiu said, "I have nothing to do after retiring, so I have to have fun."
His attention to gossip is different from ordinary netizens. When he saw the video of "Fake Door", his first consideration was how the surveillance video of the shopping mall was circulated. He concluded that the surveillance system of Yuchu Department Store must have been hacked.
However, it is not easy to think about the system of a large company without knowing it. It requires courage and extraordinary technology.
He took great interest in this matter.
Moreover, the girl in the video happened to have the same name as the most respected student in his later years. Dong Qianqiu only sighed about Ye Tang who had passed away.
"Ye Tang was also a genius back then," Dong Qianqiu couldn't help sighing, "It seems that'Ye Tang' is really a good name."
Speaking of Ye Tang, Shen Yi's expression also became sad, and the cheerful atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Zhao Zhenfang was a little confused and didn't understand what dumb riddles they were playing.
Lucy explained, "They were talking about another girl, also called'Ye Tang'. Hongye Lijing Hotel used to belong to their home, but she passed away unexpectedly."
Lucy didn't know the wealthy daughter Yetang, all she knew about her came from Shen Yi.
Zhao Zhenfang understood, it's no wonder that these nobles suddenly value her granddaughter so much, I am afraid it is the blessing of the same name and surname!
Unconsciously, all the guests were already seated, the lights of the home court gradually dimmed, and dazzling spotlights hit the auction table in front.
Luo Rongcheng walked to the middle, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to our charity auction tonight, and thank you for your support to charity..."
The aura of the richest man is indeed extraordinary. No matter how kind Luo Rongcheng is in private, under the light, he feels aloof, which makes one can't help but look up. Every time he finished speaking, everyone gave warm applause and flashes kept flashing.
"The auction process tonight is the same as in previous years. All the auction money will be donated as charity. The whole auction process is fair, open and just. We have a notary to supervise the whole process," he pointed to several people wearing on the stage. Public servant in uniform.
After Luo Rongcheng finished the opening remarks, the auctioneer came on stage and the charity auction officially began.
The first lot is a brooch by Gu Youlan. The brooch is in the shape of a wealthy peony. The petals are carved from white jade, the stamens are gold, and the leaves are top-quality jade.
Like a commercial auction, the auctioneer tried his best to introduce the value of the lot. Behind him is a huge screen that displays the details of the item in 360 degrees.
"This brooch is rumored to be the jewelry of Mrs. XX during the Republic of China. Mrs. Locke was sold at Sotheby's in London ten years ago, and the transaction price was 1 million pounds. Today its starting price is only 500,000 yuan."
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and many ladies took a fancy to this brooch, beautiful, exquisite and cheap!
Items with such a high sexual price ratio can only be encountered at Luo's charity auction, which is almost like antiques. There are so many wealthy people in the country, so generous like the Luo family, really rare.
"Such a good jewelry, only 500,000!" Xu Zhihui was also very happy, staring straight at the brooch photo on the screen.
Su Xiaodong was cold and ignored her. He regretted bringing his wife and daughter here. He just left for a while and they made him embarrassed.
He did not expect that the Luo family would also invite the ex-mother-in-law and Ye Tang, and he couldn't predict that his wife and daughter would bully Ye Tang in full view!
The big guy who finally fell in love with him said to him, "Your method of educating your daughter may be something wrong, and your wife may be a little grumpy." Isn't this implicitly cursing his daughter for being uncultivated? Does scolding his wife owe discipline? !
It is conceivable that other people think so too, including the Luo family.
He wanted to use the banquet to expand his network resources, but now it's all messed up!
Su Xiaodong was angry and anxious. Fortunately, Luo Rongcheng and Duan Hong had a fight to distract everyone, otherwise their family would become the laughingstock of tonight!
He is eager to make up for the loss and reshape his image.
How to do
He also looked at the brooch on the front screen.
If he spends money to buy things from the Luo family, donates a large amount of charity money, and wins a good name, will the Luo family change his view
The original price of 1 million pounds-almost 10 million yuan of jewelry, did he get so much money? Before he came, he didn't even want to donate money. He suddenly went out to reach millions and tens of millions. Can his face look good
But then I thought about it, after a certain period of time, he sold the things he bought without losing money, but the money was turned over again.
So, Su Xiaodong raised the bidding sign-each chair has a number plate, and every guest can participate in the bidding, even the last media reporter.
"800,000, 2101 customers bid 800,000!"
When Su Xiaodong joined in, the brooch price had increased to 800,000, and the competition ladder was 50,000.
"850,000! 1,101 customers bid 850,000!"
Ming Lei put down the sign and said to his wife, "You like it, I will definitely buy it for you."
Mrs. Ming looked at him with admiring eyes.
Next, more than a dozen guests participated in the bidding. This brooch was really attractive. The price was quickly fired to 9 million, which was only 1 million from the original price.
At this time, the only competitors were Su Xiaodong and Ming Lei. The guests began to watch, look here, look over there, guessing who would spend the last dollar and buy the brooch.
