Chapter 150: The Hong Kong Government Dinner 3
Every rich man who came to the banquet would donate some items, and sometimes many of them would buy them themselves. It is to express an attitude, after all, this is a dinner invited by the governor, and face still has to be given.
Bao Zixuan brought an old German Carl Zeiss camera today, thinking that if no one bids, he would buy him back.
"The first lot of the day is a brooch provided by Governor MacLehose's wife, who has been with her for 20 years. This time, it was taken out for the sake of the children of Xiangjiang. Whoever likes it can ask for a price, and the reserve price is 1 Hong Kong dollar.
This also shows an attitude that many wives of politicians must also serve their husbands' careers. The Governor's wife provided a Tiffany brooch today, and the current market price should be around HK$20,000.
Many heavyweight guests will bring someone over to this dinner, and their invitation is the kind that can be attended by their wives. Many ladies were very eager to buy back the Governor's wife's breasts when they saw them.
The price went all the way up, from 20,000 to 180,000 Hong Kong dollars before it was bought by the wife of a real estate owner. The Governor's wife got up to express her gratitude, and it was relatively easy for Xiangjiang to make money in the real estate business during this period.
Bao Zixuan has no interest in these, thinking that he will spend some money to buy one or two things that are pleasing to the eye! Don't say it, after waiting for a while, he is really more interested.
Hearing the master of ceremonies say a small pastel bowl provided by Mr. Fok Yingdong, now Chinese antiques are very cheap. Many of them were bought by foreigners at this time, and they can work hard in this area! Starting with this porcelain, when you have the opportunity to go to the mainland, you must buy more of these antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and you can even establish a museum in Xiangjiang.
Bao Zixuan, who just said it, didn't care so much, Huo Yingdong thought about taking out a little thing by himself. After all, if you don't show anything, you don't look good on face.
Many people began to ask for the price, and soon the price reached 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. Bao Zixuan wanted to take it directly, and directly bid for 100,000 yuan, many people didn't know this young man when they saw it, but since he asked for it, the auctioneer would definitely admit it.
Huo Yingdong glanced at Bao Zixuan meaningfully, and he didn't understand what this little bag always meant. But now that people are giving him face, he still has to show it in the future.
Hu Yingxiang is a good friend of Huo Yingdong, and it can be said that he is also a person who has been running for the return of Xiangjiang. Huo Lao's object he didn't want to let others take it away like this, so he didn't hesitate to bid 150,000.
Bao Zixuan saw that someone was competing with him, and he couldn't recognize the bear for the first time he participated in this kind of party! ”
Hu Yingxiang saw that this young man was still on the bar with himself, and he was one of the five tigers of Xiangjiang Real Estate. It's so hard that I'm afraid that you're a young man, and said, "300,000 Hong Kong dollars." ”
Bao Zixuan thought that since you want to play, I can play with you enough, I am often not in Xiangjiang, and it is not so easy to be handled.
Bao Zixuan: "400,000." ”
Hu Yingxiang thought that he would let the adults of your family know that you were such a loser, and he would definitely clean you up, so I would first let you know what it means to respect the old and love the young: said: "500,000." ”
Bao Zixuan replied without hesitation: "600,000." ”
Hu Yingxiang didn't expect that he was really on the same bar, so let you see and understand. said: "1 million. ”
Bao Zixuan thought that you old boy was actually such a bully, it was not so easy to make me ugly, since you raised the price so much, then don't blame me, and said: "2 million." ”
Hu Yingxiang didn't expect this young man to really dare to go up, so he would play with you: "3 million." ”
Bao Zixuan immediately returned: "5 million." ”
These were all done between lightning and flint, and even Huo Yingdong didn't react. My friend and this kid I want to fight for have already asked for such a high price. Now it seems that Hu Yingxiang is still being dragged down, otherwise he may not be able to fight this little boss of the Black Cloud Group. He began to walk in the direction of Hu Yingxiang, and at this time everyone was also looking at the two of them.
For Hu Yingxiang, everyone basically knows each other, and the people who know Bao Zixuan are relatively limited. Many people are wondering what the hell is the origin of this young man, and he actually doesn't give Hu Yingxiang face.
Hu Yingxiang couldn't get down at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "6 million." ”
Before Bao Zixuan could reach Hu Yingxiang's side, he said, "10 million." ”
After hearing 10 million, everyone looked at Bao Zixuan, and many people were thinking that this young man would not be a troublemaker! What confidence did he have to shout the price of 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Before Hu Yingxiang was bidding up, Huo Yingdong gave Hu Yingxiang a look. Thinking that it was Huo Yingdong's arrangement, Hu Yingxiang gave up the bidding.
At this time, the auctioneer didn't know what to do, after all, what if the other party couldn't afford to pay 10 million Hong Kong dollars!
On the day of this situation, the secretary of the governor who went to the Heiyun Group with the governor took the microphone and said: "We thank Huo Sheng and Bao Sheng of the Heiyun Group for their contribution to charity. "Now he's going to free the auctioneer, and if he really says something he shouldn't say, then wait for bad luck!
After hearing the name of the Black Cloud Group, everyone finally figured out who this young man was, it turned out that this was the famous Bao Zixuan! No wonder he was so arrogant.
At this time, Huo Yingdong walked over with Hu Yingxiang, and Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "Old Hu, both of you are studying in a famous school in the United States, why don't you know each other!"
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan finally remembered who he was competing with just now, no wonder he was so familiar with Huo Yingdong.
Bao Zixuan: "I'm sorry, Hu Sheng. I was offended just now, so please forgive me. ”
Hu Yingxiang: "Bao Sheng doesn't have to be polite, these things are over, I'm also afraid that Huo Sheng's things will be cold." ”
Huo Yingdong: "Everyone is giving me face, and there will be many opportunities in the future." Bao Sheng has promised to go to my house on the 2nd, Lao Hu, you have to arrive early, you are all studying in the United States, there should be a lot of topics. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Hu Sheng is a senior who studied abroad, and I still have a lot to learn from you." ”
Hu Yingxiang: "When I was in school, I didn't have such a high reputation as Bao Sheng, and now even my alma mater, Princeton, is studying the Industry 4.0 theory you proposed. In this regard, you have indeed set an example for all international students in Hong Kong. ”
Bao Zixuan: "That's just everyone's praise, it's nothing." ”
Since Huo Yingdong brought Hu Yingxiang over, these two people are bigwig-level figures. Being able to come to Bao Zixuan in person is already very face-saving, if you don't know how to converge, you don't know how to score inches.
Bao Zixuan: "Huo Sheng, you often go to the mainland. I've got a little thing to see if you can help me build a bridge. I also know that it is a bit presumptuous to meet for the first time. ”
Fok Yingdong: "Say it, as long as I can do it." ”
Bao Zixuan: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to drink some wine, especially Moutai and Wuliangye in the mainland. Now it's not just me, but even some MIT professors who have been brought by me have a soft spot for these two wines. ”
"I have already bought all the things that can be bought in the market in Xiangjiang, please see if you can help contact these two factories to sell me some." If it's okay for me personally, it's mainly that some of my mentors want to drink something right now. ”
"They can settle in any currency they want, dollars, pounds, and yen. I'm even more expensive than the price on the market. ”
In fact, Bao Zixuan just wanted to express a goodwill through Huo Yingdong, starting to do business with the mainland with liquor, and it became logical to enter the mainland market later.
Huo Yingdong should have also understood some of Bao Zixuan's meaning, and said: "I said why can't you see Moutai for sale on the market! No problem, you come over early when I have a treat in two days, and I will introduce you." I have aged Moutai at home, so you can drink enough. ”
Everyone is a smart person, and many things are just done to the point, and there is no need to say it too clearly.
Some people were happy and some were sad, and the governor was not very happy when he saw the three of them chatting together. After all, he was very jealous of Huo Yingdong and was afraid that the other party would use his influence to win over Xiangjiang businessmen, and the return of Xiangjiang has always been an unavoidable topic.
