History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 361 Charity Auction
"I'm going to Changjiang Industry, Li Jiacheng." Li Jiacheng withdrew his hand with a smile on his face, neither humble nor overbearing.However, He Dingxian took a hot towel from the waiter's plate, wiped his hands and said with a smile, "Boss Li, the business is very popular recently."

Li Jiacheng's expression changed slightly, he nodded and said, "I don't dare to be that."

"Go and sit down."

He Dingxian put down the towel with a smile: "I'll have a drink later."

"Okay."

"He Sheng."

Li Jiacheng nodded happily, and brought his wife into the arena with a smile, but his expression changed suddenly after he sat down, his eyes were very dark.

In the past two years, the Yangtze River Plastic Factory in Lijiacheng has benefited greatly from the wind.

The company's headquarters moved from San Po Kong to North Point, which is closer to the pier. The business can be said to be thriving.Not only is it the most prominent Chaoshan rookie in recent years, but it is also favored by capital and has continuously expanded its production capacity. It has already captured one-third of the East Asian market, and is known as the "King of Plastic Flowers".

Among the factory's plastic products, plastic flowers are still the most popular, bringing tens of millions of profits a year.

In the past two years, several major merchants have emerged, such as Cao Guangbiao of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, and Li Baixin of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. Although Li Jiacheng has expanded rapidly, it is still inferior to the "Wool Spinning King" and the "African King". Li Baixin's garment factory, Relying on exports to Africa alone, they have already made a lot of money.

Chu Yunnan didn't understand either, and said doubtfully, "He Sheng."

"Do you have a feud with someone surnamed Li?"

He Dingxian shook his head: "No."

"so what"

He Dingxian sneered: "I can't get used to it."

Chu Yunnan was suspicious, before the next guest arrived, she looked back at Li Jiacheng's location. With He Sheng's current social status, how dare Li Jiacheng provoke him?If there is any place where the two can bond.

It must be because of women.

She looked at Zhuang Mingyue's beautiful figure, thoughtful in her heart, but she continued to toast and drink without delay.In the past two years, Oriental Pictures has made several films, among which "Wang Tianlin"'s "Peach Blossom River" is the most popular.

He Sheng did not forget to combine work and rest when directing work.

In the face of actresses rushing forward, it is common to spend nights with wallets and send them off to go shopping.

Fortunately, Mr. He had a child and had a steady personality. He never brought a woman home again, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have one outside. Zhuang Mingyue just felt a gaze sweep over him, and he glanced sideways, meeting Chu Yunnan's eyes.

Chu Yunnan smiled decently and nodded, then turned back to chat with the guests naturally.

"Everyone is welcome."

"Today is the first cooperation between Taixing Oriental and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. All the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Fund free of charge to serve the public welfare of Hong Kong Island." A hostess stood on the stage in a suit , looking at the guests seated and preaching.

More than 200 Hong Kong Island rich and small, including young rookies, mainstays, and established families.

They all sat on chairs, held number plates, and laughed at each other.

This situation of holding an auction with a semi-official charitable organization has already been held in Haojiang, and Boss He personally bargained for it, and jointly with Kiang Wu Hospital, a total of 720 items were auctioned for [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

All donations will be donated to Kiang Wu Hospital.

Taixing Oriental became famous all over East Asia and became the most famous auction.Consignment orders are coming in like snowflakes, and small auctions are held almost every week. Just pumping water for a month has already earned hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Haojiang officials also sent awards to Taixing Oriental.

This makes auctions that adopt the same model on Hong Kong Island very popular among the rich.

He Dingxian relied on this trick to make the auction quickly profitable and on the right track. During the period, he had to let his charitable fund participate in the project, not because he was greedy for money, but to invite names in another way.Jinghu also gave him the title of honorary director. As he cultivated in society, he has more and more titles, but with the police rank on his shoulders, he has been promoted to a level within two years.

"There are 31 lots in this auction, seven of which are Ming and Qing official porcelains, six are works of art, and seventeen are commodities, all donated by charitable people for free."

"First of all, I would like to thank the philanthropists for their love, and finally, welcome everyone to participate in this auction." The hostess took the lead in applauding.

Crash.

There was thunderous applause in the arena.

"Ah Yin."

"Is it true that you donate all of it?" Bao Yugang was wearing a white suit and tie, sitting in the first row.

He Dingxian did not squint.

"Yes!"

"But don't shoot."

Bao Yugang turned sideways, looked at him and said with a smile, "Why?"

"If you have a good heart, donate money after something big happens. Why do you hold a big auction? It's just to make people who are usually reluctant to donate money bleed." He Dingxian said with a cheap smile: "Of course, it doesn't matter if I raise two hands, it's right. Enthusiastically involved."

"But remember to throw the performance opportunity to others."

Bao Yugang showed a smirk: "It's really you."

After that, there were more than a dozen rounds of auctions, most of which were real estate, cars, and luxury goods. The auction prices far exceeded three or four times the selling price, but they were generally within 50.But as the artwork came on the market, the price soared.

Yifu Shao took away a Renaissance oil painting at a price of 120 million Hong Kong dollars. The painting is an original work, but the artist is not well-known. If it is not for those who specialize in the study of the history of civilization revival, they will never have heard of it.

Third-rate painter!

He Dingxian remembered that there was a portrait of Queen Victoria in Gao Kening's collection room, and suddenly thought that it would be good to use Western literature and art to suck blood from the West.It is a pity that there are not many Western artworks living abroad, and some countries have not even been established for a hundred years, so there is no history at all.

"70."

Li Jiacheng suddenly raised his sign.

"No. 89, Mr. Li from Changjiang Industry, the bid is 70 yuan, is there anyone willing to add a hand?" The hostess pointed to a young man five rows behind, holding a small hammer in her hand, and was about to hit the hammer.He Dingxian turned his head and lowered his head and said to Bao Yugang, "Give me a hand."

"170 million!"

Bao Yugang raised his hand.

The hostess was obviously taken aback, and said excitedly: "Mr. Global Shipping Bag, 170 million Hong Kong dollars, is there any one higher than 170 million?"

This lot is nothing more than a colored glaze plate handed down from the official kiln. The glaze color is very beautiful, but there are many similar objects on the market. Counting the increase in the next ten years, in fact, none of them will exceed 70.Even with the reputation bonus of the charity auction, it still can't reach the price of 100 million or more.

When Bao Yu just called out 170 million, many people present exclaimed, and Li Jiacheng's face turned pale, feeling like someone had deliberately stepped on his foot.The action of He Dingxian talking in the front row caught the eyes of many people, but they were all big bosses in the same row.

Li Jiacheng was sitting in the back row and couldn't see, but that didn't mean he was stupid. He quickly realized that someone wanted to embarrass him on purpose.In fact, He Dingxian just forced Li Jiacheng to bleed, and used it to honor the ghost, and to do some good deeds.

In addition, a little more information to the celebrities in the business world will cut off the opportunities at both ends of Lijiacheng Snake Mouse.

You know, just based on He Dingxian's whispered words just now, all the Chinese bosses present at the scene took the initiative to draw boundaries with Li Jiacheng.

Li Jiacheng also made a decisive decision and continued to hold up the placard: "170 million."

In the past two years, with the support of foreign firms, he has continued to expand. He has established a real estate company and is preparing to enter the real estate industry.Out of the nature of a businessman, he has been raising Xinji in private, flattering the ghosts, while the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce and the bosses of Chinese capital are mingling together.

He is a good-looking man, and it is said that he is valued by several seniors. Some people already want to recommend him to be a director of the chamber of commerce.Today, He Dingxian undoubtedly gave him a blow, telling him to put himself in the right position and stop thinking about being a director of the chamber of commerce.

But if he gave up easily, who would dare to cooperate with him in the future?The chamber of commerce is not dominated by one surname and one name. It is said that at the end of the year, the old chairman will be retired, and the new chairman will be taken over by He Dingxian.Li Jiacheng felt that sometimes resistance was more valuable than submission.

Just as Bao Yu heard him continue to bid, he quietly glanced at He Dingxian, and seeing that the younger brother didn't say anything, he turned his head and gave the younger brother a wink.Cao Guangbiao immediately raised the sign and said, "180 million!"

"On the 32nd, Mr. Cao from Taiping Wool Textile is bidding."

"180."

The hostess spoke up.

But no one in the audience paid any attention to the host on the podium, and turned their attention to the area where Li Jiacheng was sitting, including the people in the front row who were also waiting for news.As the host of the charity auction, He Dingxian is not good at competing with guests for auction items out of politeness.

Because, what charity auctions pay attention to is to carry people in a bridal sedan chair, and make money with kindness.

If an auction fails.

His role as the host is reflected. He must call a price, make a bottom, and give the price.Otherwise, the auction will be meaningless, and if there are too many unsold products, no one will come to the next one.

Therefore, He Dingxian did not come forward to fight against the surname Li in person, and it would be a loss to lose a little demeanor for him, so he simply asked Bao Yugang to come forward for him, but Bao Yugang also cherishes feathers, a majestic shipping king, bullying a stinky plastic seller of?

It's not good to say it!

So Bao Yugang sent Cao Guangbiao to go out.Cao Guangbiao got acquainted with Bao Yugang when he was in Shanghai. After all, Cao's family has a large cloth shop, and they have opened stores in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and loans are inevitable.

And Bao Yugang was the manager of the Bank of China in Shanghai, so he had a very good relationship with Cao Guangbiao.After Cao Guangbiao left HSBC, he used his contacts to find Bao Yugang, and then got on the line of Oriental Bank.Operating with money from the Eastern Bank has become the fastest-rising banner of Chinese capital in the wool weaving industry.

"African King" Li Baixin used Guilao's money to export ready-made garments, but he bought all woolen products from Taiping Factory.All the things that happened in the HSBC office that day also entered Sir He's ears.

Cao Guangbiao was the one who was pushed out to fight Li Jiacheng.

"180 million."

Li Jiacheng shouted another price.

In the end, Cao Guangbiao raised the price for three more rounds, and at the signal of He Dingxian shaking his head gently, he gave up the auction.With a price of 210 million, Li Jiacheng set a record for this evening's auction. For a while, there was no one in the limelight, but Zhuang Mingyue's face was ugly, as if he had been taken advantage of.
