How many five years can there be in this life?

I'm afraid Lin Dingqiang himself can't answer this question.

Ideals are important, but Lin Dingqiang believes that the more important thing to live in this world is to cherish the present and cherish the people in front of you.

Lin Dingqiang did not forget the promise he promised Xin Qing to spend millions, and with the tickets sent by the system, the two came to the scene of the beautiful Huaxia charity dinner.

The "Beautiful China" project is an education non-profit project under the Beijing Lide Future Education Foundation, whose vision is to enable all Chinese children, regardless of their background, to receive the same high-quality education.

The two sat in the banquet hall of the Beijing Hotel, looking at the hall with a strong palace-style architectural style, waiting for the dinner to begin.

"Mr. Lin, are you here too?" Zhao Zhiwen came to Lin Dingqiang's side and said enthusiastically.

Lin Dingqiang nodded slightly, "Don't be late for public welfare!"

"Let me introduce to you, this is Chairman Wang of Hongrun Energy, Wang Kaifu. Wang Dong, this is Mr. Lin of the zero-point investigation I mentioned to you, Lin Dingqiang. He is also the owner of Diancheng Winery. ”

Lin Dingqiang stood up and smiled, "Hello." ”

Wang Kaifu is about 60 years old this year, and his mental state is good. Hongrun Energy is involved in a wide range of fields, such as wind turbines, drive motors for energy-saving and new energy vehicles, lifting metallurgy, frequency conversion speed regulation, oilfield explosion-proof, and ports.

"Hello Mr. Lin. Wang Kaifu shook Lin Dingqiang's hand and said: "In the past two days, you have been a man of the year in Beijing! Not only did the three media speak for you at the same time, but also found out the largest insider trading case since the birth of A-shares. ”

In the face of such pragmatic praise, Lin Dingqiang responded with a smile: "This is not for me, but for thousands of shareholders and friends." What I did was just the correct one among the thousands of choices. ”

"Be modest!Be modest!" Wang Kaifu said solemnly: "If Mr. Lin doesn't mind, Zhiwen and I will set up a table with you?"

"Wang Dong, please. Lin Dingqiang said politely: "Mr. Zhao, please." ”

After the three of them sat down, Zhao Zhiwen said: "Wang Dong, Mr. Lin's wine is really good!

Lin Dingqiang recalled that Zhao Zhiwen once said that Hongrun Group wanted to customize a batch of business red wine, and he blamed himself for being too busy during this time and completely forgot about it.

Now I am reminded by Zhao Zhiwen that the sample wine I said at the beginning was not sent by the winery, and the production report was nowhere to be seen.

"Okay! Your boss of Carlsberg has spoken, I will definitely try it!" Wang Kaifu did a favor and replied with a smile: "Mr. Lin, how long do you think you are free?"

Lin Dingqiang said unhurriedly: "Why not tomorrow?"

Wang Kaifu readily agreed: "Okay." ”

The lights gradually dimmed, and the eyes of several people turned to the stage not far away.

A woman in her early 20s, dressed in a cheongsam, took the stage and said enthusiastically, "Welcome to tonight's charity dinner." I'm Zhou Shijing from Lead Future Education Foundation. ”

The audience erupted in warm applause, and after the applause stopped, Zhou Shijing continued: "I am an ordinary teacher in the beautiful Huaxia Volunteer Teaching Trip. Last year, I was fortunate to participate in the volunteer teaching activities of Shidian Central School. The following is a short video taken by me, and I would like to invite you to take a look at it. ”

A teenage child appeared on the huge screen, looking at the endless mountains, clenching his fists, bowing his head and saying, "I want to fight." ”

The children in the classroom sit at their desks, their eyes full of curiosity about the world.

The volunteer teachers faced the camera and talked about their feelings after devoting themselves to the "Beautiful China" project

......

The short film of more than three minutes aroused the sympathy of those present, and Lin Tingqiang even heard some slight sobs not far away.

The mottled classrooms, the mountains that can't be walked out, and the pair of hot eyes all reveal the desire for the road to study.

After the short film ended, the lights came on again, Zhou Shijing picked up the microphone, and continued: "Beautiful China recruits and trains a group of outstanding young teachers every year, and sends them to remote rural schools to become full-time project teachers for two years. To tell you the truth, I never imagined that the life of volunteer teaching would be so difficult, two years is neither long nor short, and when I stepped into the central school on the first day, I even regretted my decision. ”

"However, two years later," Zhou Shijing paused, and then said: "I don't want to leave the central school, and I don't want to leave the group of innocent, lively, and eager children. Their families are not wealthy, and some children have to walk more than 10 miles to get to school every day, and even bring a piece of meat in their lunch boxes, but they still like to read and yearn for life outside the mountains. ”

Speaking of this, the audience once again burst into thunderous applause, "Therefore, I hope that all the guests can donate generously at tonight's dinner to realize the dream of studying for the children far away in the mountains." ”

After saying this, Zhou Shijing stepped down. Instead, Guo Yu, the chairman of the foundation, took the stage to deliver a speech.

The unique opening shocked both Lin Dingqiang and Xin Qing, there was no gorgeous performance, only simple sentences, but these heartfelt words hit the heart hard.

After Guo Yu took the stage, he first introduced the concept of volunteer teaching.

It turns out that Beautiful China continues to provide high-quality teachers in the form of an original two-year rotation system, which solves the long-standing problem of "one person, one post, one life" of rural teachers, and effectively alleviates the current situation of lack of teachers in these areas.

Since the establishment of this project, the organization has sent more than 1,000 program teachers to more than 220 project schools in four regions of China, teaching more than 1.1 million lessons and benefiting more than 330,000 students.

Listening to these rising figures, Nobunaga Hitoshi seemed to see hope for the project and prepared for the charity auction that was waiting for the meeting.

The children who came from afar brought their own stage plays.

Although the script is immature and even a little naïve, they still want to leave the best of themselves to this group of strangers in the audience.

Wang Kaifu has also done a lot of charity over the years, perhaps this is the consistent style of entrepreneurs, and whether or not to avoid taxes, the money is really taken out, at least the result is good.

"Mr. Lin, do you have anything you like?" Wang Kaifu handed the catalogue of auction exhibits in his hand to Lin Dingqiang, and asked curiously, "Do you want to try it?"

Lin Dingqiang took the list, handed it directly to Xin Qing on the side, and said with a smile: "It's up to my fiancée to decide." ”

"You see, I forgot to introduce it!" Zhao Zhiwen said: "Wang Dong, this Miss Xin is not only the fiancée of Mr. Lin, but also the vice president of Qichuang Investment. ”

Lin Dingqiang smiled: "Mr. Zhao, it seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"What's wrong?"

"She has resigned from Qichuang. Lin Dingqiang said confidently: "Now I am an associate professor of Wudaokou School of Economics and Management. ”

Zhao Zhiwen was taken aback, and said repeatedly: "Is that going to change your name to Professor Xin?!"

Xin Qing said politely: "Mr. Zhao, don't listen to Ding Qiang's nonsense. Hello Wang Dong, I'm Xin Qing. ”

"Hello. I didn't expect Miss Xin to be a professor at such a young age. It's really unseemly. ”

Xin Qing said humbly: "Compared with the teachers who are willing to teach, my professors are at least a big difference in thinking!

"They are all cultivating future pillars for the motherland!" Wang Kaifu nodded, "Miss Xin doesn't have to be humble. ”

Xin Qing flipped through the roster in her hand, and in addition to the usual calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and modern art, there was also a set of 1937 Macallan crystal bottle whisky, a total of six items.

Xin Qing pointed to the name on it and said, "Lao Lin, why don't we shoot this?"

Lin Dingqiang looked at the photo above, and it turned out that these six wines were casks in 1937 and bottled in 1999. The bottle is designed by the famous crystal glass brand Caithness, with a copper-plated ring around the bottle mouth and a copper-plated stopper, which really looks a bit old.

"Okay. Lin Dingqiang promised: "Wait for you to raise the card, and we will drink it when we go back in the evening!"

Xin Qing's eyes widened, "This wine isn't cheap, is it?"

"How expensive can it be?"

Xin Qing recalled: "I remember that at last year's spring auction, a 50-year-old bottle of Macallan was auctioned for about 500,000 yuan. And now it's six! It's 37 years old!"

Lin Dingqiang pondered for a while, and according to Xin Qing's statement, it would take at least 3 million to photograph this set of wine.

"I promised you that you would feel like you were throwing a million, and you wouldn't break your word. Lin Dingqiang said with a smile: "Wait a minute, you will hold the sign high, don't be afraid, there is me behind you!"

"Really?" Xin Qing asked excitedly, "Are you really willing to let me take a picture of this set of wine?"

Lin Dingqiang responded in a chic manner: "You have no jokes, so the concubine will shoot boldly!"

Xin Qing said coquettishly: "Hmph, I won't be your concubine, I want to be your queen!"

"Okay, I've got enough money," Lin Dingqiang stopped Xin Qing's shoulder, "Just be happy tonight!"

"Good!"

......

After the first 7 auctions, it was finally time for Xin Qing's favorite whisky.

Before the host began to introduce, Lin Dingqiang saw that Xin Qing's hand holding the sign seemed to be about to hold back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item in our collection is the 1937 Macallan Crystal Whisky, six in all. The starting price is 2.2 million. ”

Lin Dingqiang thought that no one was willing to spend 2.2 million yuan to buy six bottles of wine, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as the host's words fell, someone had already raised a card.

"Mr. 35 bid 2.2 million. Is there still a price increase?"

Maybe money is really just a number for those present. As soon as the 2.2 million bidding ended, another person raised his card.

"Ms. 57 bid 2.4 million. ”

Xin Qing raised her eyebrows, although she was excited in her heart, she still didn't follow the crowd to raise a sign and ask for a price, after all, in her opinion, although this auction is a gift of love, no one's money is blown by the wind.

"Don't you hold up the sign?" asked Lin Dingqiang.

Xin Qing whispered, "Wait." It's never too late to make a last-second shot. ”

"Good. ”

Zhao Zhiwen looked confident about Lin and Xin, and asked curiously: "Mr. Lin, is it inevitable?"

"As long as the daughter-in-law likes it, she must go all out!" Lin Dingqiang responded.

"The relationship between you and Miss Xin is really enviable!" Zhao Zhiwen took the opportunity to say: "By the way, have you been to Beijing A during this time?"

Lin Dingqiang replied truthfully: "No, what's wrong?"

According to Cao Le, he will unite with Taihu to hold the first Beijing Craft Beer Festival. Zhao Zhiwen said with a smile: "When the time comes, will you go?"

Lin Dingqiang smiled and said: "Of course you go to drink!

"We at Carlsberg are the co-organisers of this event, and of course I will be there. Maybe Jing A will really open up markets outside the capital at this beer festival!"

Lin Dingqiang picked up the wine glass in front of him and said in high spirits: "Mr. Zhao didn't look away at the beginning, this time we are win-win!"

"Win-win!"

"Lao Lin, 3.1 million. Xin Qing seemed to be unable to wait, although Lin Dingqiang gave her the right, she still asked Lin Dingqiang's opinion, "I raised the card~~"

Lin Ding chewed on the root of his ear, "Lift, sister, you boldly lift up!"

"I hate it!" Xin Qing gently twisted Lin Dingqiang's thigh, and then raised the number plate in his hand.

"Ms. 21 bids 3.3 million!" The host's tone was excited, "Are there any guests who want to increase the price?"

The eyes of the audience looked at Lin Dingqiang's table, curious who would spend 3.3 million to buy these 6 bottles of whiskey.

At this moment, a male voice came from a distance, "3.5 million." ”

"Mr. 67 bids 3.5 million!"

Lin Dingqiang turned his head to look over, and the man who was bidding stood up, but judging from his face, he didn't know him.

This price had exceeded Xin Qing's expectations, she put down the number plate in her hand and asked, "Lao Lin, is this wine worth it?" ”

If you follow the routine of an ordinary domineering president, Lin Dingqiang will definitely say, "I will definitely let you get what you want." ”

But the reality is that Xin Qing has already had the idea of retreating, and Lin Dingqiang confirmed again: "I really don't want it?"

"Anyway, it's a matter of whether you drink this wine or not!" Xin Qing said with a smile: "As long as the money can be used effectively!"

The host on the stage asked again: "3.5 million, is there anything else to increase?"

The huge ballroom was silent, waiting for the moment when the auction gavel rang.

"4 million. ”

Wang Kaifu, who didn't speak in the audience, stood up at this time, and said lightly: "I'll give 4 million." ”

The host recognized the chairman of Hongyun Energy at a glance, and even the tone of his voice changed a little, "Mr. 8 bid 4 million." Is there a price increase?"

Lin Dingqiang and Xin Qing both looked at the 60-year-old man curiously.

"4.2 million. The man behind him shouted again.

Wang Kaifu smiled, and he couldn't even find the eyes on his face, "4.5 million." ”

Hiss~

Lin Dingqiang gasped, the current price has far exceeded the value of the wine, in his opinion, this Wang Kaifu may really like these six bottles of wine.

"4.5 million for the first time!"

Everyone was intimidated by Wang Kaifu's offer, although it was a love, but they still had to plan for the money in the card.

After three sounds, the auction hammer rang properly, "Congratulations to Mr. 8 for winning the 8th lot at a price of 4.5 million!"

Applause poured like a tide, Wang Kaifu waved his hand, and Zhou Shijing, who first came to the stage, took the reporter to Wang Kaifu's side, "Thank you Chairman Wang for your generosity, and I would like to express my most loyal thanks to you on behalf of the foundation and the children in the mountains." ”

Wang Kaifu seems to have become accustomed to the state of interviews, "You're welcome, we Hongrun Energy have been engaged in philanthropy since its establishment. Whether it's building a school or peer-to-peer support for students to realize their dreams, we never leave no stone unturned. I believe that with the help of the Foundation this time, this money will definitely play its real role!"

Zhou Shijing nodded and asked, "Then can I ask Chairman Wang a personal question?"

"Excuse me. ”

"What are you going to do with these six bottles of wine?" Zhou Shijing paused, and then said, "Is it for collection?"

Wang Kaifu smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "I don't know whiskey, so I want to give these six bottles of wine to Mr. Lin Dingqiang and Ms. Xin Qing at my table." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned.

More than 4 million things can be delivered, and I am afraid that only this energy giant can do such a thing.

And after Lin Dingqiang heard the news, his scalp was even more numb, and his heart beat even faster than he took a picture of this set of wine.

Zhou Shijing was also taken aback, and quickly stretched out the microphone and interviewed Lin Dingqiang, "Mr. Lin, do you have anything to say?"
