Facing the eyes of countless strangers, Kevin was very calm, just as he showed in the Chinese webcast room, without outsiders' consciousness at all, "Thank you Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo for allowing me to participate in such charity activities... ..."
Kevin knows the rules of Vanity Fair very well. This rule is common in any country. It is definitely not wrong to put gold on the face of the owner first to express his honor. In fact, Kevin's status is not lower than that of Luo Rongcheng. It is not an exaggeration for him to sit at the first table.
Everyone is looking back at him and listening to his speech. No translation is needed. The guests here are not bad in English.
"This computer is the unexpected joy of my business trip to China. My father..." Kevin introduced the origin of the computer and his father's entrepreneurial history.
Hearing the stories of foreign entrepreneurs in the cookie-cutter auctions was also a surprise to those present. Let them have a kind of immersive feeling at the UYX product launch site.
Kevin is a natural concentrator and the darling of social occasions, but this is not his home court, he can't overwhelm the host, so he didn't talk about it, but it was enough, mainly to express his gratitude to the Locke family.
"This computer means something to me. I'm glad that there are people who still remember it, remember the history of UYX. Thank you for bidding with me," Kevin said, looking at the person sitting in the front row. Girl, a little far away, he couldn't see Ye Tang's expression, only a vague outline.
Kevin came late, and his family had already left when he arrived, and he did not meet them. He walked alone, without John or other translators, so he didn't know why Ye Tang could also attend this banquet. Does she have any unexpected identity? He deliberately asked the guests around him. The other party was pleasantly surprised that he could be at the same table with the famous boss, and quickly told him all the gossip he had just seen, and then made gestures if he could not express in English.
Anyway, Kevin understood, it was just a coincidence that he and Ye Tang met here.
He now completely believes every word Ye Tang said in the email.
Because when bidding, Ye Tang couldn't wait to raise the placard first, and then kept bidding to 700,000 yuan. This should be her entire family! This computer is more than twice her age. She is so knowledgeable, she must really love the UYX brand, and she must really admire him!
The essential purpose of Kevin coming here is to get to know more powerful people in China. He will return to the United States tomorrow morning to help people to the end. He decides to properly handle Ye Tang's affairs before leaving.
He looked at the old man who was only a round table away from him. The guests next to him told him in a low voice that this old man and him were half of his colleagues. The old man was the dean of the School of Computer Science of City A University before his retirement.
So he publicly said, "Since the computer is found in China, it shows that it has a fate with China, it should stay in China, and I will give it to the old gentleman who bid with me," he pointed to Dong Qianqiu.
How many great worlds Dong Qianqiu has seen in his life, he couldn't help being stunned at this moment. He looked at Shen Yi beside him, "What does he mean?"
Shen Yiyan was concise, "He wants to give you the things he bought for 5 million."
"There is such a good thing?" Dong Qianqiu was dubious, did a pie from the sky hit him
Kevin did what he said, he wrote the check on the spot and handed it to the staff, paying the money faster than anyone else.
His behavior won the favor of everyone present,
"This is the real charity! Donate 5 million, don't expect to pay back."
"No wonder the foreign media said he was a philanthropist. I always thought it was bragging. I saw him today and he was well-deserved."
"Otherwise, why would you condescend and apologize to a little girl? His style is much bigger than Duan Hong."
"Shhh..."
"I just want to know if this old computer is really worth so much money? Since he said something is of great significance, why did he give it away in a few words?"
No one can answer this question. Everyone still thinks that this computer is broken. Maybe Kevin just wants to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and buy a part of people's hearts with 5 million.
Haven't you seen Luo Rongcheng's eyebrows open and smiling
The dust settled on the ninth lot, and the staff pushed the last item up. Although it was covered with cloth, everyone could see that it should be a painting.
Those who have little interest in broken computers are all interested.
The highlight of tonight is finally here!
Luo Xingchuan's oil paintings, the tradition of Luo's charity auction.
Many people come with a lot of money and preparedness just to buy paintings! The children's talents are obvious to all. They think that the paintings of the only son of the Luo family are more valuable for investment and collection than jewelry antiques. Luo Xingchuan is very good at landscape and figure painting. The figures in the landscape he paints are integrated with the scenery, but they are more beautiful than the scenery. Hanging such oil paintings at home can instantly improve the style of the home.
Someone once wanted to spend money to invite Luo Xingchuan to paint, but was declined. He said that painting depends on his mood, and it doesn't matter whether he is money or not.
Luo Xingchuan, who had not been seen until now, quietly appeared at table 4 and sat down beside his mother.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the auctioneer to uncover the white cloth on the drawing board, "This painting is the oil painting "Light" completed by Luo Shaoye only recently."
The scene was very quiet, unlike the previous loud exclamations and praises.
What appeared in front of everyone was a landscape painting. The tone of the painting seemed very gloomy at first glance. It seemed to depict the evening seaside, backlit coconut trees, black tidal flat rocks, and dark brown sea water.
"How is it painted like this? The color is too strong."
"Blue sky and blue sea is the correct way to open seaside landscape painting."
"Is Prince Locke trying a new style? To be honest, I don't like this style very much. It's gloomy at home."
Everyone couldn't help but comment on the paintings. At first, it was all bad reviews.
Sitting next to his parents, Luo Xingchuan heard so many criticisms, but he showed no joy or sadness.
Until a senior art connoisseur said, "You are all wrong. He painted not evening but dawn. Don't you see that the main theme in his painting is a light?!"
As soon as the artist reminded, everyone realized that it really seemed to be dawn!
Trees, stones, sea water... The edges of each image are bright, as if a beam of light is coming from a distant place, starting to illuminate from the edge.
"At first glance, I felt very depressed, but now I see it again, but I feel quiet and peaceful, and my mood has improved. This is amazing."
"The chiaroscuro is used very well, and the light on the edges is simply a magical touch."
"Has this kid's drawing skills reached the point of superb quality? I want to buy it at the starting price!"
The guests were all eager to try, holding their own number plates.
The auctioneer said, "The starting price of "Light" is 400,000 yuan."
Before his voice fell, countless people held up signs.
