Li Zhaoji is more than 80 years old, and his body is still in good health.Walking to the table, he said a few ordinary opening remarks, and then counted the names of the guests who participated in the charity auction one by one as a thank you, and the people whose names he mentioned all seemed honored, and stood up one by one to express their gratitude. The people in the arena nodded.

Li Zhaoji speaks Cantonese. Although she speaks very slowly, Qiao Ling, who has only learned a few sentences of ordinary Cantonese, obviously does not have enough vocabulary. After listening for a long time, she still can't understand a sentence. It is all thanks to Yu Xing to help her translate Otherwise, she doesn't know when to applaud and agree.

Fortunately, Hong Kong people are pragmatic. Li Zhaoji made a brief speech for a few minutes before announcing the official start of the charity auction.

Although it was just a friendship auction, it was also very formal, and invited the chief auctioneer of many calendar auctions in East Tsim Sha Tsui, the unknown stone that hit the door in 618!division.

After the auctioneer came to the stage, he introduced the situation of the auction to the people seated in the venue together with the female emcee. Obviously, the auction will be conducted by the two of them as a partner.

"Let's start the auction of the first item. This lot is provided by Mr. Li Zhaoji. It is a pocket watch used by Mr. Li's father. This watch was produced in 1932 and is the third generation of Longines. The most important thing is that this pocket watch expresses Mr. Li's mourning for his father, and the commemorative significance is even more important than the pocket watch itself..."

The auctioneer speaks Hong Kong-style Mandarin, which made Qiao Ling feel relieved. If she still listens to Cantonese, it is better to communicate in English. Although Hong Kong-style Mandarin is still different from standard Mandarin, 80.00% of them are more than five She can understand the content by herself.Yu Xing can disregard the rich people around her, but she can't. If she always whispers to Yu Xing, it will be offensive.

"Okay, the auction will start now, according to Mr. Li's intentions. The starting price of all the auction items tonight is [-] Hong Kong dollars. Please increase the price actively and do your part for charity!"

After the auctioneer finished speaking, the bidding did not start immediately, and the hostess slammed the unknown stone that hit the door with Cantonese 618 in Mandarin!I said it again.It is undeniable that some of the rich people of the older generation do not even have the education level of high school, but this does not prevent them from making a fortune with their unique vision and hard-working style, and working hard to create their own world.It's just that Hong Kong Island has returned to the embrace of the motherland for many years now, and this charity auction is well-known, so Li Zhaoji instructed the auctioneer to use Mandarin as the keynote, and with the translation of the female master of ceremonies, everything was covered.

After the hostess finished explaining.The auctioneer announced loudly: "The auction begins!"

The voice just fell.A lively bald old man in the front row said loudly: "[-] Hong Kong dollars, buy this pocket watch from Lao Li's house..."

The auctioneer quickly entered the role, and said loudly: "Okay, the price of VIP No. [-] is [-], is there any other bid?"

The objects in this kind of charity auction are generally not expensive.Relatively, there are fewer counterfeit products among them, and what the rich are not valued is items, but to build their own good reputations in the upper class while contributing to charity.Therefore, buying a good reputation with a mere hundreds of thousands or millions, in the eyes of these rich people, it has accumulated Yin virtue and is very cost-effective.

Yu Xing's thinking is different from theirs. No one knows if there is Yinde, and he doesn't care, but he is still happy to help those poor people within his ability.The premise is that he can use the lot, instead of asking him hundreds of thousands for just getting an old toothbrush.It is useless and not cost-effective. Although hundreds of thousands of dollars have been donated to charity, but this kind of charity is blocked by a toothbrush. Donating money makes you unhappy, so it is not appropriate!

Take this lot for example.The Yuxing couple can't wear enough Patek Philippes, so how can they use this pocket watch!So Yuxing had already rejected the lot at the first sight.Now that some people are calling high prices to gain fame, Yu Xing is even more lazy to compete with the other party for his voice.The point of his coming to this auction is to do charity, not to compare his wealth with others.

"I'll offer [-]..." At this time, another lady in the front row shouted.

At [-] yuan, Yuxing might still make a bid, but when the price climbed to [-], he didn't even have the desire to bid.It doesn't matter if you ask him to donate money directly, the key is to get back such a useless thing, and you can't throw it away on the spot, which makes people a little annoyed.

"No. 11 VIP bid [-], is there any increase in the price, please pay attention, this is not a pocket watch, but a charity..." Provocative words popped out of the auctioneer from time to time, "You know, you are here If you show more love here, maybe one more out-of-school child can sit in the classroom!"

As expected of a well-known auctioneer, the price of 20 yuan is actually a bit inflated, but after a few words from him, the atmosphere on the scene immediately became lively, and some people directly shouted a high price of [-] yuan, even Qiaoling He also asked for opinions: "Husband, should we pay more money and take a photo of this watch?"

"You like that watch?" Yu Xing asked curiously.

"No, I just want to donate more money!" After realizing that Yu Xing has a net worth of hundreds of millions (a fraction of a million dollars), Qiaoling's careful planning is not as serious as before.

While the two were talking, the price had already risen to 33, and the scene cooled down.In fact, this price is much higher than the value of the pocket watch itself. The rich are gradually becoming rational, and charity belongs to charity. They are unwilling to pay a higher price for an old watch that is not needed at all.Fortunately, the lot that Li Zhaoji brought out has achieved the purpose of attracting jade, and it has made a good start.

"Okay, VIP No. 33 bids 33, [-] once!"

Cold field.

"Four million twice!"

Still cold.

"33..." The auctioneer on stage deliberately delayed.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Qiaoling's eyes.Yu Xing saw through her mind and indulged: "Honey, if you want to ask for a price, just call! I will pay the bill!"

With Yuxing's guarantee, Qiaoling took the number plate in his hand without hesitation, raised it and shouted: "35!"

"Okay, VIP No. 31 bids 35 yuan, is there any bid?"

Obviously not, even the guy who paid 33 before was a little relieved.

Soon, the auctioneer shouted: "...35 for the third time! Deal!" He knocked down the auction gavel heavily, "Congratulations to this lady, you have dedicated your overflowing love to the children in the Mainland, Please come to the stage to collect the items you have photographed!"

This obviously meant to donate money on the spot. Qiaoling was dumbfounded, and even Yuxing was a little dumbfounded, because he only had a few bank cards with him, although the money in the cards added up to hundreds of millions, But he didn't see the splash machine used for swiping the card at the scene.

However, Florine was already prepared. She took out the check book of Standard Chartered Bank and signed a cash check of 35 Hong Kong dollars with a few strokes. gone."

Qiao Ling thanked her and took the check to the stage. After the auctioneer checked her check, she signaled the hostess to hand over the pocket watch to her.

After the handover was over, when Qiaoling stepped off the stage, the auctioneer raised his voice again: "Thank you for this lady's loving donation, let us thank her together!" As soon as the words fell, Yu Xing and Li Zhaoji took the lead in standing up and applauding, followed by the rich and powerful. Get up, thunderous applause.

Whether it is worth buying an old pocket watch for 35 yuan, the rich people here know better than anyone else. The reason why they applaud is to praise Qiaoling's charity. After all, this beautiful girl wears a watch worth more than a hundred Wan's Patek Philippe is definitely not going to use the old pocket watch.

Of course, everything in this world has two sides. People of the older generation think that this is Qiaoling's love, but most of the young people who stand behind and watch the fun are dismissive.

"Damn, wearing a Patek Philippe, but insisting on spending 10,000+ to take a picture of a broken thing, this stupid girl burned it with too much money?"

"Who says no! But she is quite beautiful."

"Want to soak? With your hundreds of thousands of monthly allowances, you can't even afford half a watch strap!"

"..."

Even in the VIP seats where the applause was the most enthusiastic, there was a murmur: "What are you dragging, why don't you just buy an old pocket watch? I don't care about it!" Although there was a lot of applause around, others couldn't hear Yu Xing's muttering. It can be heard clearly, it is Zhen Xian who made the sound.

For this girl, Yuxing didn't pay her any attention. When Qiaoling returned to her seat, the young couple sat down and cuddled together affectionately.

Soon, the second lot revealed its true colors. It was a gemstone necklace in the style of the late Qing Dynasty, with jadeite and agate on it. The pocket watch that Qiaoling took just now is much better.After all, no matter how sophisticated the watchmaking machinery of that era was, it was impossible to keep the pocket watch movement undamaged for 80 to [-] years. As long as this gemstone necklace is well preserved, it can be worth some money in any era.

However, Yu Xing and his wife, who had just bought one item, did not plan to take another one in a row, so they didn't have much thought to ask for a price this round.

But their lack of interest does not mean that others have no interest. In a short time, the gemstone necklace climbed from the base price of 37 to a high of 37 Hong Kong dollars.It has to be said that even a calm person sometimes has the heart of comparison. After hearing the price of [-] yuan quoted by the auctioneer, several wealthy people in the vicinity glanced at Qiaoling intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to see how much she still has. Call or not.This girl Qiaoling was also somewhat weak-hearted. Although she didn't ask for a price, she stretched her neck in anticipation, hoping that someone would call a price that was much higher, so she wouldn't have to worry about it.

Unexpectedly, Yuxing thought that Qiaoling had taken a fancy to this gemstone necklace again, so he resorted to probing techniques to see how the quality of the necklace was, whether it was worth the price or not.

In Yuxing’s heart, if this necklace has a value of 0.1, it will definitely not lose money if it is photographed within ten million. Who knows if you don’t see it, you will be shocked when you see it. One of the gemstone necklaces looks like agate. The value detected by the stone was 2347.6! (To be continued. !!!
