Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1348 Emergency! 【Seeking to subscribe monthly pass】

Wang Lin wanted to take pictures of the rights to the nameplates of the park benches, but in fact he wanted to use these chairs to advertise.

For 3000 seats, the right to nameplates can be retained for at least ten years or even a lifetime.

What could be cheaper to advertise in the very center of New York City?

Even just engraving the word Aixiu on the chair is enough.

Because Wang Lin's company is called Aixiu Group, when people see Aixiu, they will naturally think of Aixiu Group.

Wang Lin's idea is that if he can photograph this project, he will engrave the word "Aixiu" in several languages ​​and nail it to 3000 benches in New York's Central Park.

However, if the price is too high, then Wang Lin will also consider whether it is worth it.

With Bai Lan winning the championship of the model contest, the Aishiu Group, especially the Xiuzhilin brand, has become widely known, and New York, the fashion capital, has set off a wave of excitement.

The auction lasted about an hour, just enough for everyone to eat and drink, and then go to the bathroom, change clothes and so on.

Many ladies will change their clothes to attend the next ball.

When it was time for the last auction item, everyone returned to their seats.

When they heard that the nameplate rights for these 3000 benches cost 1000 million US dollars, everyone in the audience was surprised.

Although the benches in Central Park were openly claimed a few years ago, not everyone will go to claim them, and [-] U.S. dollars is not a small amount of money.

Over the years, only a few thousand chairs have been donated.

Real rich people probably don't like such "romance".

Now that it is said that 1000 million yuan is required to buy 3000 benches, and only for the right to write on the nameplate, many people are inevitably a little surprised.

"Unless they are crazy, who would spend so much money on this thing?" Someone in the audience wiped the oil from his mouth with a gentleman's napkin, and shook his head in disbelief.

Obviously, many people are not interested in this auction item.

Most of the participants are celebrities with backgrounds. Whether they are in love or married, they don't want outsiders to know that the deeper their family's privacy is, the better.

Even if it is the dog at home, try not to let the outside world know its name.

These people also don't need to show off or express something through a chair that everyone can sit on.

And for Wall Street financiers, wouldn't it be nice to use $1000 million to buy stocks or funds?Nameplate rights to buy thousands of benches?That's not economic behavior, that's what fools do.

Therefore, when the host announced the auction item, there was a series of laughter from the audience.

Deng Lijun said: "Wang Lin, it seems that everyone is not interested in this thing!"

Wang Lin shrugged: "It doesn't matter, if everyone doesn't buy it, that's good!"

Deng Lijun had raised her hand before and participated in the competition. What she wanted was a set of gemstone jewelry, a set of five pieces, two earrings, a bracelet, a ring, and a necklace, which were made by famous craftsmen and were of high value.

When the price exceeded 50 US dollars, Deng Lijun felt that it was not worth it, so she voluntarily gave up.

Wang Lin wanted to buy it as a gift for her, but Deng Lijun held his hand, saying that such jewelry is too expensive and not worth so much money. If you want to buy something as a gift for me, you might as well buy it after returning to Xiangjiang, diamonds Whether it’s gems or gemstones, they are all stones anyway, as long as they look good, there is no need to buy such expensive ones, a set of 5 Hong Kong dollars is very good-looking.

Since she said so, Wang Lin gave up.

For this reason, he also attracted the contempt of many people.

In the eyes of others, since Wang Lin has the courage to be Deng Lijun's dance partner, he must have a certain wealth and status.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lin would not dare to bid for her a jewelry worth 50 US dollars?

Especially those few men who were jealous of Wang Lin, even made insulting remarks and sneered at the side.

Especially the director James, who directly provoked Wang Lin, saying why didn't the man next to Deng Lijun raise his hand to bid?Is it so poor that you can't even come up with half a million dollars?
Wang Lin wanted to refute, but was held back by Deng Lijun.

Deng Lijun said, you are a person with a big belly and an elegant gentleman. Could it be that if you were bitten by a dog, would you want to bite back?Find the right moment and give that dog a fatal blow.

Wang Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

In the end, the necklace was bought by Princess Diana for a high price of 100 million US dollars.

For a character like Concubine Diana, let alone wearing $100 million jewelry, she is worthy of wearing $1000 million jewelry.

Wang Lin looked at Concubine Dai's pretty face, she was so mature and charming, with bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, flowing golden curly hair, raised with one hand, revealing her proud bust line, absolutely sexy and seductive.

Concubine Dai had a faint smile on her face, and she kept her eyes fixed, but there was a feeling of loneliness and sadness between her brows.

Wang Lin knew that although Concubine Dai and the prince hadn't divorced this year, their marriage had actually existed in name only.

On Valentine's Day the year before last, according to the custom, on this day the prince and princess will present a Valentine's Day kiss to show their affection.But when the prince stretched his mouth towards Princess Diana's face, Princess Diana turned her neck and the timing was just right.Diana wouldn't let the prince kiss her!The prince's kiss was ruthlessly rejected by his wife!
At that time, more than 100 professional photographers and more than 5000 excited spectators witnessed this scene with their own eyes.

This scene made the prince lose face!

The marriage relationship between the two has also moved towards the stage of separation.

Recalling the wedding of the century, as if it was still in sight, how many people were amazed at that time?

The love story of the prince and princess seems to be coming true again.

However, fairy tales generally only end when they get married, because life after marriage is really hard to describe.

The princess and the prince lived happily ever after, but how long can this happiness last?Nobody knows.

In this auction, those who actually bought the subject matter were either rich or expensive.

More people, even a star like Deng Lijun, most of the time just as a foil, they will raise their hands, they will make an offer, but when they really encounter luxury that does not take money as money, they will choose rationally Give up and give this chance of fame and charity to someone else.

Let's talk about the present.

Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was not high, the host was very nervous.

This is the most valuable item in this auction!
As a result, no one has the willingness to bid?

If the auction fails, the loss will be huge, and the person hosting the auction takes a commission. Even if the last item is sold at the lowest price of 1000 million, the commission is still very considerable.

Regardless of whether it is public or private, the host must work hard to recommend and introduce the subject matter.

Therefore, the host did not immediately enter the bidding stage, but explained the target object to everyone. He was very smart and knew that people could not see these chairs straight, so he focused on the charity effect of the auction fee.

The proceeds from this auction will all be used for some assistance projects of UNICEF.

UNICEF works in more than 190 countries to save children's lives, defend their rights and help them realize their potential.

It's a pity that Wang Lin, who is the most likely to bid for the auction, is the least interested in charity.

It's not that Wang Lin doesn't do charity. He doesn't know how many charities he has done in China. He donates millions or tens of millions of money at will.

But this is in the United States!
The only superpower on Earth.

Does Wang Lin need him to come here to do charity?
No need!
It is also impossible for Wang Lin to do charity here.

He just wants to earn some dollars to spend.

The host worked hard on the stage to promote, but the guests in the audience were only talking and laughing.

Wang Lin raised his hand.

The host asked happily: "Sir, do you have any questions?"

Wang Lindao: "I just want to ask, where are the 3000 benches located? Are they picked by the auctioneer at random? Or are they designated?"

The host was also dumbfounded.

Obviously, he didn't know about it either.

The host asked Wang Lin to wait a moment, ran off the stage to find someone to consult for a long time, and then came to the stage and said: "I asked Mr. Wilson, he said that the 3000 seats are free for bidders to choose, as long as they are seats in Central Park, as long as they are seated There is no nameplate on the chair, and bidders can nail their own nameplates and write their own blessings."

Wang Lin nodded and thanked him.

In this way, Wang Lin felt that the value of the subject matter was not bad, so he could consider bidding.

The host thought that Wang Lin would make a bid soon, but after Wang Lin said thank you, he didn't ask any more questions, so he could only continue to sell the bid.

Someone got impatient and said, "It's almost over, right? When will the dance start?"

The host laughed and said, "Everyone, please wait a little longer and start bidding right away."

The bidding for the last subject has finally begun.

The host said with great anticipation: "The starting bid for the right to nameplates for 3000 benches in New York's Central Park is 1000 million US dollars. I emphasize again that usually someone who wants to adopt these benches needs 3000 US dollars each. Now there are 1000 benches. It only needs [-] million US dollars to start bidding! This is equivalent to only one-third of the price can be won! This is simply the most cost-effective charity investment of the year!"

He scanned the audience, and the guests finally stopped their chattering and listened to the host in silence.

The host said: "Now the auction is starting. Is there any gentleman who is willing to bid 1000 million US dollars? Some please raise your hands! Please raise your noble hands higher so that we can clearly see which gentleman is raising their hands. "

"Haha!" Someone laughed and let out a pig cry.

Wang Lin was not in a hurry to bid, but observed the reaction of the audience.

No one raised their hands!
Wang Lin smiled from the bottom of his heart.

This is really great!
Deng Lijun covered her mouth with her hands, and said with a low laugh, "Wang Lin, it's up to you to behave."

Wang Lin hummed, and when he was about to raise his hand, his eyes suddenly went dark!
power failure?Can't it?
This is the New York Public Library!

However, the dazzling array of lights on the roof are going out one by one!

Pad, pad, pad!
Soon, there was darkness in front of my eyes!

All the lights are off!

Wang Lin stopped his hand in mid-air in astonishment.

He wanted to spend the ten million dollars, but he didn't spend it!

Almost at the same time, a soft little hand held Wang Lin's hand.

"The power is out!" Deng Lijun's whining voice came from Wang Lin's ear.

Wang Lin hummed, and subconsciously pulled her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Wang Lin put his arms around Deng Lijun's waist, and touched her face based on his feeling.

"How can there be a power outage in this kind of place?" Deng Lijun asked.

Wang Lin couldn't answer.

Deng Lijun is not the only one who has this question.

The scene was chaotic, with the sound of tables and chairs being pushed down, staff shouting, guests scolding, and the footsteps of countless people running...

Wang Lin thought, in such a large public place, it is impossible to have spare lights, right?The minimum emergency lighting must be there, right?
Just when everyone was at a loss, a bright light suddenly lit up.

This light is very big, it is emitted by a large spotlight, like a follow spot light on the stage, it can cast a circular light circle and hit a certain person to show the importance of this person.

The host from the previous auction table was gone.

Instead, there was a tall Caucasian man in a suit and leather shoes.

This person wears a clown mask on his face, which looks a little funny.

There were many directors and stars in the audience. When everyone saw this scene, they thought it was an atmosphere deliberately created by the show, and suddenly burst out laughing.

With this burst of laughter, everyone's mood relaxed.

The originally tense atmosphere instantly became extremely harmonious.

Many people at the scene applauded.

Someone shouted: "What is this for? The auction is not over yet. Is this going to be a show?"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed in good faith.

The person who got up and left sat back at the table again.

Concubine Dai was already protected by several bodyguards, she also pushed away the bodyguards at this moment, elegantly straightened her somewhat messy hairstyle, and sat down.

The others also had bodyguards, and all retreated.

Wang Lin let go of Deng Lijun in his arms, and helped her remove a strand of hair sticking to her face.

Deng Lijun smiled and said: "It scared me! They really are, why didn't they say it in advance? But if they said it, it wouldn't have such a dramatic effect. Hollywood likes to play this kind of trick the most!"

Wang Lin looked at Uncle Zhong at the side.

Uncle Zhong had already come to his side, dragged a chair and sat down, even now, he didn't leave right away.

"President Wang," Uncle Zhong leaned over and said in a deep voice, "I feel something is wrong, let's leave quickly."

Wang Lin was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Uncle Zhong said: "When the power went out just now, I heard the footsteps of many people around me, and the sound of dragging heavy objects away."

Wang Lindao: "What are you doubting?"

Uncle Zhong's sharp eyes looked at the security personnel in the stairwell on both sides: "Mr. Wang, I found out that those security personnel have changed."

Wang Lindao: "Changed people? Maybe it's a change of guard?"

Uncle Zhong said: "Mr. Wang, my intuition is that it's not that simple! Listen to me, let's go now!"

Wang Lin hesitated slightly, he still wanted to take pictures of those 3000 park benches!

However, his trust in Uncle Zhong is really extraordinary!
Since Uncle Zhong said such a thing, I'm afraid there is really a problem at the scene, and it's unknown!
Wang Lin hurriedly said to Deng Lijun: "Sister Deng, let's leave! You don't have to ask me why, I believe Uncle Zhong, and we will leave now."

Deng Lijun's trust in Wang Lin is also unconditional.

Hearing what Wang Lin said, Deng Lijun nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Wang Lin held her hand and said, "Don't say goodbye to anyone, just let's go."

However, as soon as they got up and took a few steps, they were stopped by someone: "Everyone is not allowed to leave!"

Wang Lin was extremely shocked and said, "Let's go to the bathroom."

"No! Everyone go back to their seats." They were stopped by two tall and burly men with headsets on their ears, tight-fitting combat uniforms, and guns around their waists!
At this moment, the clown who had been standing motionless on the stage suddenly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful party tonight is now officially starting!"
