Huo Jingliang took a sip of champagne and said to Chu Bai.
There weren't many people in the banquet hall, and the party hadn't officially started at this time, they basically gathered together in twos and threes, chatting with ease.
Huo Jingliang brought Chu Bai to the center of the banquet hall, where four middle-aged men were chatting with wine glasses.
Noticing Huo Jingliang approaching, Song Shiwan turned his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, you are here, we thought you were going to be absent."
"Yes, if Mr. Huo is absent, the donations for this charity gala will shrink."
He Feng also followed suit.
"Mr. Huo, who is this?" Qiao Zhengben looked at Chu Bai and asked suspiciously.
"I'm going to introduce you, this is the chairman of Sihai Group, Chu Bai."
Huo Jingliang followed Qiao Zhengben's words and introduced Chu Bai to the four of them.
Then he pointed to the four people and introduced them to Chu Bai one by one: "These two are real estate tycoons, Song Shiwan and He Feng.
This is the king of department stores, Qiao Zhengben.
And this one, the jeweler, Ding Ben. "
Hearing Huo Jingliang's introduction, Chu Bai's expression froze. He didn't expect that the four ordinary-looking middle-aged people had different identities, and they were all top leaders in their respective fields.
Chu Bai stretched out his hand and shook hands with the four of them.
"Young and promising!"
"Mr. Chu founded the Four Seas Group at a young age, which is remarkable."
The few people present also gave Chu Bai a lot of face. They shook hands and praised at the same time. They gave a lot of face.
There is a saying that people in the upper class praise others, and those in the lower class step on them!
"Where, where, compared with everyone, my grades are nothing."
Chu Bai waved his hand and said modestly.
At this time, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, and then the host's voice sounded, "Everyone, this charity gala is officially starting now!"
? 0 for flowers 0 ????
Chu Bai followed the voice and saw a small high platform built on one side of the banquet hall, and there was a host in a suit standing there.
"There are three auction items in this evening, and all the donations from the final auction will be donated to help those in need on Hong Kong Island."
As the host finished speaking, three waiters walked onto the stage with trays in their hands.
The tray was covered with red silk so that no one could see what was underneath.
The host walked up to the first tray, took down the red silk, and said, "The first lot, a royal ring, starts at 80 yuan!"
Huo Jingliang leaned close to Chu Bai's ear and said in a low voice, "Don't miss this opportunity, try to take a picture of something, you just joined the Jockey Club, this is an opportunity to show your strength to others."
"I see."
Chu Bai nodded and understood what Huo Jingliang meant.
He has just joined the Jockey Club, and now he is not familiar with the place where he lives, and he doesn't know anyone except the four big bosses just now.
It is obviously not realistic to go to the past one by one to get to know each other, so you can just use the auction.
At this moment, a faint system prompt sounded in Chu Bai's mind.
"The system releases an opportunity task: enter the upper level and actively participate in charity activities.
Get a reward for completing the task: a piece of news about getting rich in the stock market. "
Seeing the system task, Chu Bai was refreshed.
It just so happened that he also planned to take an auction, and now he killed two birds with one stone.
However, Chu Bai did not immediately participate in the auction, and he was not interested in the current royal ring.
The main reason is that there is no place to use it. This thing is a diamond ring, which is not suitable for a man to wear, but it is also very difficult for Chu Bai to give it to a woman.
Xinxin, Ruan Mei, Xixili, He Tianer, who would he give just one ring?
If one of them was sent secretly, and others found out, they would definitely be angry.
Chu Bai pinned his hopes on the second and third lots.
"Mr. Qiao bid 200 million! Congratulations, Mr. Qiao, for bidding our first lot."
the host said.
Chu Bai glanced at Qiao Zhengben who was at the side. This guy is not young, and he doesn't know whether to take this ring back for his wife or someone else.
After the host dropped the hammer, he went to the second tray and took off the red silk on it.
"This item is a strange stone named Immortal Guidance, and the starting price is 80!"
What appeared in the tray was a blue stone, and the overall image resembled a fairy guiding the way from afar.
...... 0
Chu Bai knew about strange stones, and knew that the shapes of this kind of stones were all produced naturally and had not been artificially carved.
Looking at the lifelike immortal guiding the way, Chu Bai had to marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature, which can naturally produce such a lifelike shape.
But this thing is useless to him, he is not interested in strange stones.
Collections like strange stones often have no fixed value. They are worth a lot of money in the eyes of those who like them, but they are as worthless as stones on the side of the road if they don't like them.
Although Chu Bai needs to show his face at the banquet in order to complete the system tasks, he still doesn't want to take a random photo, especially if there is still the last item that has not been displayed.
"Not yet?" Huo Jingliang said.
Chu Bai shook his head, "I don't like either of these, so let's take a picture of one."
While the two were talking, Kistler had already been photographed by a lady.
The reason why the transaction is so fast is entirely because most people are not interested in Kistler.
In the end, the fairy guide was sold at a price of 120 million.
This price is far lower than the queen's ring, but no one cares about it, whether it is the host or the many guests.
After all, it is a charity gala, and all auction money will be donated as charity, so as long as the transaction is completed, it will be fine.
"The last lot, "Yayi Shanzhai Picture", was painted by Wang Shimin, a painter in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the starting price is 100 million!"
As soon as the host's voice fell, someone immediately started bidding.
The banquet hall is full of knowledgeable people, and they are very clear about the value of Yayi Shanzhai Picture, and it is definitely not a loss if you buy it for 100 million yuan.
"100 million!"
"150 million!"
"200 million!"
The price of the Yayi Shanzhai map increased rapidly, and even Huo Jingliang raised his hand, "280 million!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Bai, "Aren't you going to make a move? If you don't shoot, there will be no chance."
"No rush, I'm waiting."
Huo Jinghao asked curiously, "What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for a chance to make a final decision."
Chu Bai said lightly that he didn't like to quarrel with others over and over again.
If he wants to shoot, he will be the last bidder, which can save a lot of bidding time.
Huo Jingliang chuckled when he heard the words, "You want to become a blockbuster."
During the conversation, the price of the Yayi Shanzhai map has reached 350 million.
This price is already very high, far exceeding the value of Yayi Shanzhai Tu.
So most interested parties died down and made no further bids.
"350 million! Is there anyone with a higher bid?"
The host looked at the audience and shouted.
"Mr. Chu, it's up to you to act now." Huo Jingliang said.
Chu Bai nodded and raised his left hand.
"500."
Chu Bai's calm voice sounded in the banquet hall.
"500 million! This Mr. Chu bid 500 million!"
The host said excitedly when he heard Chu Bai's offer.
He presided over the auction of the charity gala not once or twice, but the high price of 500 million rarely appeared. After all, these auctions were not particularly precious, and the transaction price was generally between 300 million and [-] million.
The rest of the people in the banquet hall looked sideways, looked at Chu Bai, looked at his strange face, and talked a lot.
Song Shiwan, Qiao Zhengben, He Feng, Ding Ben and others were beside Chu Bai. The four of them originally wanted to bid, but now they smiled and shook their heads.
"Young people are courageous."
"Mr. Chu seems to really like this painting."
After finishing speaking, none of them had the will to continue bidding.
500 million is not much to them, but firstly, the value of the Yayi Shanzhai map is not enough for them to continue to pay, and secondly, it is a charity gala after all, so it’s enough to just mean it, and there is no need to take it too seriously.
"500 million once! 500 million twice!"
The host deliberately slowed down the pace, shouting and looking forward to another bidder.
But he was soon disappointed, the banquet hall was full of voices talking about Chu Bai, and no one cared about Yayi Shanzhai Picture at this time.
"Five million three times! Deal, congratulations to Mr. Chu, who took the picture of Yayi Mountain Zhai!" said the host.
Huo Jingliang patted Chu Bai lightly, and jokingly said, "I really have you, and I'm willing to spend 500 million just to show my face."
"I just like this painting."
Chu Bai said casually.
Of course Huo Jingliang didn't know that Chu Bai spent a lot of money to take pictures of this painting more to complete system tasks.
Chapter 148
"Congratulations to the host for completing the system release opportunity task: enter the upper level and actively participate in charity activities.
Get a reward for completing the task: a piece of news about getting rich in the stock market. "
After the banquet, Chu Bai heard the reminder that the task was completed.
"Ding, does the host accept the news of getting rich in the stock market?"
Chu Bai said silently in his heart:
"accept."
After Chu Bai finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in his mind again: "Within a month, the stock price of cruise companies will rise sharply tomorrow."
Tomorrow's cruise line?
Hearing the information given by the system, Chu Bai couldn't help frowning. He had never even heard of this Tomorrow Cruise Line, and it is likely to be the most trashy stock among all junk stocks, just like Baile Real Estate back then.
However, since the news given by the system is a sharp rise, Chu Bai believes that tomorrow the stock price of the cruise company will come back to life within a month.
After all, the life chance system never goes wrong.
"Mr. Chu, what are you thinking?"
At this time, Huo Jingliang came over with champagne.
After the banquet, Chu Bai did not leave directly to go back, but came to the terrace to enjoy the beautiful night view of Hong Kong Island.
This is the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel, high enough to see most of Hong Kong Island.
Chu Bai came back to his senses and saw that it was Huo Jingliang who came, and suddenly his heart moved, "I'm thinking about the stock market."
"stock market?"
Huo Jingliang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Could it be that our Chu Dagu is finally coming out of the arena again?"
