golden escape

The grim reality made Xu Mengyun understand that philanthropy cannot be done in one go. There are so many poor orphans in Tianhai alone. As you can imagine in the whole of China, philanthropy is a long way to go. , Only relying on these 30 billion donations, it is impossible to solve the problems of all people in need.

What's more, what they do is not just simple help, but the most important thing is to help them acquire the ability to earn a living.

Only ten days after the establishment of the Longlin Charity Foundation, Xu Mengyun held a press conference in a huge conference room of the Longlin Foundation headquarters building.

The main content of the press conference is to announce to all walks of life the charitable activities and plans that the Longlin Foundation will carry out, and clearly describe the amount of donations used for each activity and the purpose.

In the early stage, the Longlin Foundation will build three to five orphan schools in Tianhai for the orphans to live in. It is estimated that each school can accommodate [-] orphans. At the same time, Xu Mengyun also promised to transform Tianhai City in a short time. The facilities and environment of some orphanages ensure that the orphans living there can live more comfortably.

During the press conference, Xu Mengyun posted photos of the orphanages she visited with Ye Yuqing and Fang You through a projector, and announced some of the private orphanages that used orphans as profit tools. The living environment of these orphanages, as well as the lifeless look on the faces of the children, could not help but cause a burst of sighs at the scene, and they all condemned the directors of these orphanages...

Xu Mengyun went on to explain that their Longlin Foundation has contacted the local public security and government departments and banned these orphanages. All orphans in the orphanages are temporarily placed in various orphanages in Tianhai City until Longlin Charity After the school is established, these orphans will be sent to the school.

Some journalists and citizens who participated in the press conference expressed great approval for the early work of the Longlin Foundation. There are so many suffering people, and it is simply unrealistic to expect to solve all problems at once.

The time has come to a month after the establishment of the Longlin Foundation. During this month, Longyou Auction House has received thousands of charity auction items from all parties, including some high-quality antiques. Calligraphy and paintings of famous people and some of the items they used.

During this period, the charity project of Longlin Charity School, after being approved by the Tianhai Municipal Government, officially started construction on several lands purchased in Tianhai. It is expected to be completed within three to five months. The person in charge confessed that there must be no cutting corners in the construction of the school. If problems are found during the final acceptance, they will refuse to pay all the project payments.

With the development of various charity programs of the Longlin Foundation, coupled with the previous influence, it seems to have become a thriving charity star in China.

In particular, Xu Mengyun and Fang You, as the top leaders of the charity foundation, went to visit various orphanages in person to learn about the situation of the orphans. This is enough to show that the Longlin Foundation attaches great importance to charity work.

Xiaoliuzi and Dashan are each responsible for the follow-up of a project in the foundation, ensuring the progress of the project and the control of funds.

Being able to help those orphans so openly, Xiaoliuzi and Dashan feel very happy and have a sense of accomplishment.

Amid the expectations and attention of the public, the Longyou Charity Auction officially opened. The auction location is the No. [-] auction hall of the Longyou Auction House. Of course, some time ago, a large venue was purchased as the auction venue for Longyou Auction House.

There are three auction halls in this auction venue, each of which can accommodate nearly a thousand people. Even so, every auction is still full of seats.

And since it was announced at the opening ceremony that Longyou Auction House will hold a charity auction in one month, there have been countless people who came to book tickets for the charity auction within one month.

This is a rare opportunity to be able to contribute to a charity while photographing the things of various celebrities.

The items presented by Mr. Chu and the other old men made everyone very much looking forward to it. The ordinary auctions held by Longyou Auction House should not be missed, let alone this grand charity auction.

Before the auction started, there were many people standing in front of the Longyou auction venue. Some of them couldn't bear the excitement in their patience, but they came early. Some people wanted to see what the auction would be like. The heavyweight debut.

After a while, they finally found the person they wanted to see. Xu Mengyun, the vice president of the Longlin Foundation, came together with several directors. Almost all of these directors were familiar figures. Fang You and Dong Qilin The two people who founded Longyou Auction House also came together.

In just a few years since Longyou Auction House was established, it has achieved unbelievable brilliant results. Now most people still remember that when Longyou Auction House was first established, the auctions that made those who didn't come regret it. It was rumored that Fang You's rival, the patriarch of the Li family, disdained the high-profile publicity of Longyou Auction House, and thought that even if they didn't go, they would never regret it, so they didn't even send anyone to attend.

In the end, the patriarch of the Li clan, who had been seriously ill after hearing that a thousand-year-old ginseng had appeared at the auction, actually fainted from the anger, which shows the powerful ability of Longyou Auction House.

It has already ranked first among the top ten auction houses in China from an obscure auction house when it was first established.

For Fang You, who has created countless amazing industries single-handedly, everyone was very puzzled, how did such a young man create so many miracles.

Compared with the grand opening ceremony of the Longlin Foundation last time, the Longyou Charity Auction is much more low-key, but everyone is full of expectations for this auction, eager for this auction to create another miracle.

Xu Mengyun and Dong Qilin, representing the Longlin Foundation and Longyou Auction House respectively, took the stage to speak in a simple and clear manner. All the proceeds from the auction will be transferred to the Longlin Foundation for charity , the auction house will not draw any handling fees from it.

Next, the auctioneer came on stage, "Hehe, everyone must still know me, I am very honored to be able to host this charity auction..."

Seeing the familiar ace auctioneer of Longyou Auction House, everyone couldn't help showing smiles on their faces. In the witty words of this auctioneer, they spent one auction after another, which made the extremely boring auction Yes, it becomes colorful.

The previous dozens of items are all handicrafts donated by ordinary people, and the transaction price of each item is below 1000 yuan.

Although this disappointed the people who were looking forward to it, everyone respected Longyou Auction House's behavior. Everyone knew that Longyou Auction House has been doing high-quality auctions, and every item it auctioned was It is a masterpiece of antiques. For ordinary items, there is no auction at all.

But now, in order to cooperate with the Longlin Foundation to do charity, Longyou Auction has smashed the signboard of its boutique auction house to auction these handicrafts donated by ordinary people.

Everyone has the right to give their love, and Longyou Auction House did not reject a share of love, and only for charity, no longer scruples about their commitment to high-quality goods, which filled everyone's hearts with respect.

"The next auction is a Tang suit worn by a kung fu superstar in the movie, and his autograph is on it. This kung fu superstar is well-known to everyone. He is Long Cheng. He established the Long Cheng Foundation by himself. Charity has made an indelible contribution, the base price of this Tang suit is 5 RMB, you can increase the price at will, and the auction is now open." The auctioneer introduced a Tang suit on the stage, and on the big screen behind it, attached The scene of Long Cheng wearing this Tang suit in the movie.

Among the people participating in the auction below, there are many who grew up watching Long Cheng's movies. They can be said to be his loyal fans. Not only are Long Cheng's movies popular with everyone, but also because of his character, they are also worthy Respected by everyone, he is called Big Brother Long Cheng in the industry and has a huge influence.

At this time, they heard that Long Cheng's Tang suit was going to be auctioned, and some people below were already gearing up and getting ready to bid.

"Eighty thousand." A younger man held up a sign.

"This gentleman bid [-] yuan. This Tang suit is made of high-quality brocade silk. Coupled with Long Cheng's huge influence, its collection value is very high. If you can collect this Tang suit, you can also contribute to charity. , can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"One hundred thousand... 20, this gentleman bid 20, oh, 30..."

Long Cheng's Tang suit set off the auction for the first time. Everyone bid fiercely. Just like the auctioneer said, to be able to get the clothes and make contributions to charity is simply a very important thing. wonderful thing.

"60, 70... this gentleman bid 80, does anyone have a friend who bid more, 80 is the first... deal, this Tang suit worn by Long Cheng in the movie, this gentleman It was won at 80 yuan, and the money will go to the Long Lin Foundation, which will be used entirely for charity and will be included in our annual charity list, thank you again."

As the auction progressed, all kinds of things flocked in, handicrafts, jewelry, and things used by various big shots. It could be described as a hodgepodge auction for charity, and many of the items aroused the attention of the people present. Crazy bidding.

"The following auction will be a Diamond Sutra donated by Master Huijie, the president of the Buddhist Association. This Buddhist scripture has been with Master Huijie for many years, and he often reads it in his hands. In order to further support the Longlin Foundation to do charity, Huijie The master took out this Buddhist scripture, and hoped that some caring people, some Buddhist believers, would be able to bid for this book and offer their love to charity." The auctioneer pointed to a simple Buddhist scripture on the stage, with a face on his face. Said with excitement.

The Diamond Sutra that Master Huijie often studies is of great significance to those who believe in Buddhism. Master Huijie is a figure with a high status in Buddhism in China and even the world. His research on Buddhism has reached the peak level. This King Kong has been studied by Master Huijie for a long time. It can be said that he is receiving consecrations from Master Huijie every day, and there are already some Buddhist teachings in it.

Jewelry consecrated by eminent monks can dispel evil spirits and protect the body. Master Huijie, as the president of the Buddhist Association, is more respected than ordinary eminent monks. It is not comparable to that of ordinary Buddhist disciples. His Diamond Sutra is not only valuable for collection, but it will definitely drive away the dirty things in the house invisibly when placed at home.

For things in this world, it is better to believe that it exists than that it does not exist. Even if it really does not exist, with this Diamond Sutra at home, when you return home, you absolutely don’t need to worry about anything, and you can sleep peacefully.

"This King Kong Sutra, Master Huijie, specially instructed that no reserve price be auctioned. No matter what the final transaction price is, it represents a person's love and good thoughts deep in a person's heart. Therefore, I declare that this book The Vajra Sutra, which is carried by Master Huijie and is often studied, is auctioned with no reserve price, starting now." The auctioneer waved his hand excitedly.

The words of the auctioneer can't help but make everyone on the scene respect Master Huijie. They don't pursue the amount of money, but only everyone's thoughts of charity.

"One hundred thousand..." A middle-aged man stood up and clasped his hands together to show his respect to Master Hui Jie.

"20. Master Huijie is really a Buddhist master and a high-ranking monk. This Diamond Sutra is extremely precious," another person stood up without hesitation and shouted loudly.

"This gentleman bid 30... 50, and the gentleman on the 18th bid again, 80..."

If it is said that Long Cheng's Tang costume is hard to part with, then this Vajra Sutra studied by Master Huijie is enough to make a fierce auction. Historically, items belonging to eminent monks will never be put up for sale easily. Or show people.

Even taking my own jade ornaments to ask some eminent monks to consecrate, I can't do it. From these, one can imagine how precious this Diamond Sutra that Master Huijie often studies is.

For those dirty things that may exist, Buddhism is undoubtedly their biggest nemesis. The effect of this Diamond Sutra will be more powerful. No more nightmares.

The price has risen rapidly from the very beginning, and this Diamond Sutra can be auctioned, and at the same time, it can contribute to charity. Why not do it, and auctioning this Buddhist Sutra for charity, I am afraid that the effect of this Diamond Sutra will definitely be greatly improved Enhance, shoot for justice, and shoot for charity.

"100 million, 120 million... 200 million, this gentleman bids 200 million. Everyone, what I want to say is that this Buddhist scripture, Master Huijie, has already said that it represents a person's love and kindness. He also specially asked , do what you can, and don’t engage in unnecessary competition, otherwise, it’s fighting for wealth, not charity.”

Although everyone heard the auctioneer's words, none of them backed down. More people had a deeper understanding of Longyou Auction House. If this charity auction were held in other auction houses, I'm afraid they would like to bid The more people there are, the better, and the higher the price, the better. Now that Longyou Auction House is actually pouring cold water on everyone's heads when the competition is fierce, and let everyone do what they can. This kind of thing, other auction houses, absolutely Can't do it.

In the end, this Vajra Sutra was bought by a Buddhist at a price of 300 million. He has believed in Buddhism for many years. After paying the money directly on the spot, he saw this Buddhist sutra coming to him, and tears welled up in his eyes. , when he received the Buddhist scriptures, he folded his hands together, bowed to the Buddhist scriptures, and then took them with both hands.

This kind of scene made everyone feel a little relieved. This Diamond Sutra has found its home in the hands of this person.

"Everyone, the following item is not a real item, but a special item. Maybe this item is not the first time it has been auctioned, but it is the first time that this person's item has been auctioned." The auctioneer said. No items were brought up. From his words, everyone can know that this is not a real thing, and if it is not a real thing, what will it be.

Some people who often participate in various auctions seem to have thought of something, with great anticipation on their faces.

"What will be auctioned next will be an opportunity to have dinner with the richest man in China. As for who the richest man in China is, I don't need to remind you. Of course, Mr. Li is unable to travel long distances due to his health. Those who are going to Hong Kong will have dinner with Mr. Li, and Mr. Li will be fully responsible for the round-trip expenses. At the same time, Mr. Li also reminds everyone that one dinner can’t make a person become a rich man from a poor man, so he longs for the sky. Those who fall into the pie are really not suitable for this opportunity, please be cautious."

The opportunity to have dinner with Mr. Li made everyone feel pleasantly surprised and excited. Mr. Li's life was an unrepeatable legend. From having nothing to being the richest man in China, his success was definitely not luck, but rather It is relying on a little bit of struggle.

All the people sitting at the auction site were young heroes, and the bosses of major companies had the opportunity to listen to Mr. Li's teachings. This can be said to be a crazy thing for everyone.

As for going to Hong Kong, as for the reimbursement of all round-trip expenses, this point was directly ignored by them. They can ask Mr. Li to give advice, not to mention going to Hong Kong, even going to the poor and chaotic Africa. Pointing, there is simply a gap between heaven and earth.

The auctioneer had a smile on his face, "Everyone, it was decided by Mr. Li that this opportunity to have dinner with his old man is also an auction with no reserve price. This opportunity only needs to be given to the right person who is confused about the goal and the way forward. Therefore, before the auction, please ask yourself whether you need this opportunity. An opportunity may change your life, but it will never change people from poor to rich in a short period of time. An old dinner opportunity, no reserve price auction, starts now."
