Chapter 244: When the Charity Auction is Underway

Ten minutes later, Bai Yuer, as the host, gave an opening speech, and the auction officially began, and the reception was not a formal auction venue, and the guests were sitting at the table more casually.

Of course, a small number of positions are still quite exquisite, especially those officialdom bigwigs, which must be arranged in the first sequence close to the auction table, and only five or six people sit at each table in the front row, so as to ensure a good view and enough space.

Of course, Zhao Qingshan, the secretary general, has to accompany several bigwigs, Bai Yuer sat on his left after stepping down, and on his right was Deputy Director Zhou, who was called Uncle Zhou by Li Ke, and had a few drinks together in Yunding last time.

This real deputy department level and Zhao Qingshan are commensurate with his uncle and nephew, he does not have a high-ranking stand, and he even acts as a bridge without hesitation, and takes the initiative to introduce Zhao Qingshan to the two colleagues at the same table, it can be seen that Deputy Director Zhou is not very familiar with them, but he must have met more than once or twice, and the topic is not deep.

A middle-aged man surnamed Wang, who looks like a tiger, is the director of the police system, in charge of political work and is not responsible for specific cases, he is very particular about his words, and he can be seen to be extremely cautious, which does not match his heroic appearance at all, and his eyes are thrown at Bai Yu'er as if he were nothing.

The other person is relatively young, the surname Ouyang is only thirty years old, he is a section chief of the city bureau, he can be regarded as young and promising, with a cynical attitude, no civil servant frame but speaking bluntly seems to be a little brainless, and even openly made some jokes with Bai Yuer, which caused the two colleagues to frown frequently.

They were all invited by Li Ke to join the board of supervisors, to put it bluntly, it was to give Zhao Qingshan a strong momentum, and with the current scale of hundreds of charitable foundations, there is far no need to create a board of directors and a board of supervisors.

The reserve price of most auction items is only a few hundred or thousands of yuan, non-famous calligraphy, ordinary seals, and jade and jade handmade clothes with higher value, but this is a charity auction, the price and value are always very different, and the calligraphy and painting that no one patronizes for hundreds of dollars in the market may sell tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands after a few shouts.

In other auctions, there may be people who are angry that they can't get a certain lot, but not here, the high bid is just a charity, and no one will be dissatisfied with the bidder because he can't buy an item, and the bidders will often smile and greet each other, so as not to waste the opportunity to show elegance.

However, there are some people who rarely bid for a bid, that is, officials, and bidding with them is purely a bar, and they can't be allowed to pay tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in one go, right?

After Deputy Director Zhou auctioned a pair of earrings donated by Bai Yuer for 2,000 yuan, Zhao Qingshan and several people bid for a diamond necklace handmade by a certain handicraft master, and finally auctioned it at a high price of 720,000 yuan, which can be regarded as saying hello to everyone by bidding.

"Secretary-General Zhao is very angry. The section chief surnamed Ouyang said with a smile.

"It's all about participation. Zhao Qingshan said politely, listening to the tone of this Ouyang section chief, how could he not know that he was making fun of himself for being so willing to be the wronged leader.

The so-called handmade is actually a gimmick, the diamond necklace is divided into two parts, the pendant is a diamond, the necklace is actually K gold, the diamond cannot be handmade, and it is not unusual for a K gold necklace to contain handmade ingredients.

Zhao Qingshan is now half an industry insider, if it is in the wholesale market, the price of this diamond necklace will never exceed 200,000, 1.5 carats of colorless diamonds, no matter how good the color clarity and perfect cut, it will die

It's just over 100,000.

The more he went to the back, the more climaxes came, and Chen Jie, Bai Yuer's suitor who had dealt with Zhao Qingshan once, threw two million to shoot a white Yuer's cheongsam at the first shout, and Bai Yuer secretly told him afterwards that she didn't wear the cheongsam at all, because she felt that it was too gorgeous after making it.

The finale auction item is a pair of high-value jade bracelets, the auctioneer introduced it as an ancestor of the Bai family, the reserve price is as high as 1.2 million, and the bidding is continuous for a while.

Bai Yu'er smiled and said to everyone at the same table: "This pair of bracelets is actually not only handed down by the ancestors, but also very likely to have been worn by the last queen mother, my elders all said so, but the facts are not easy to prove, so I didn't let the auctioneer say it so as not to laugh at it, but one thing is certain, they are definitely worth more than one or two million, and if they are one or two times the price, they can still be earned once they change hands, which can be regarded as a lottery in this auction." ”

Deputy Director Zhou said with deep thought: "I have long heard that the Bai family puts benevolence and righteousness first, and it is true." ”

Bai Yu'er responded modestly: "Zhou Ju Miao praised. ”

Section Chief Ouyang on the other side had a regretful expression and said, "I would have known that I would go to borrow loan sharks, and borrowing money to 'pick up leaks' is also a beautiful talk, right?"

A few people laughed and sat down with people who liked to joke, and the atmosphere was always more relaxed.

What's interesting is that Director Wang actually hung his head at this moment and seemed to be thinking about something, could it be that he really moved the idea of "picking up leaks"?

Zhao Qingshan thought to himself, it's normal for men to love money and be lustful, but they can't just want to take it when they get rich, right?

He thinks that the reason why Bai Yu'er said the value of the pair of jade bracelets is that no one is going to snatch this table, because he has already taken out hundreds of thousands, and even if others have the ability to bid, they can't join in this kind of excitement because they are in the officialdom.

After a while, the enthusiasm of the auction on the scene quickly dispelled this idea to Director Wang, because there was no shortage of collectors at the scene, and many people had heard of this pair of bracelets, which could not only win a reputation for contributing to charity, but also make a fortune.

In addition to the staff of the foundation, most of the rest were business partners of the Bai family or friends of Bai Yu'er, and there were only a few people who could afford the price, and the bidding price soon rose to two million, and there were as many as seven or eight bidders.

When the auction price broke 3 million, a few bidders had already withdrawn, but new bidders joined, needless to say, someone must have noticed that the bidders were all knowledgeable people, so they simply followed the bidding.

Xu Shenyu didn't know what to smoke, he had already bid a few times, and the price was like buying discounted cabbage.

Zhao Qingshan didn't believe that she could judge from the atmosphere of the scene that the pair of bracelets was worth a lot of money, her head was not business material at all, and she didn't believe that she had some research on this aspect, she and He Qing were sitting at the table behind her.

Zhao Qingshan originally planned to ask his wife with his eyes what the situation was, but in order to avoid suspicion and not make people think that he secretly told Xu Shenyu the inside story about the bracelet, he had to listen to it, as long as Xu Shenyu could afford the money.

"Three million seven million. Xu Shenyu shouted the price again, and the price increase was not less than 100,000 yuan each time.

"Three million eight hundred thousand. Another male voice rang out, and his tone was firm and imperative.

"Four million. There is no need for the auctioneer to render it, Xu Shenyu did not hesitate to add 200,000 in one go, and there was only one bidding opponent at this time

Whoever hesitates proves that he has the intention of retreating, and it is obvious that Miss Xu is still high-spirited.

The high price of four million was not even expected by Bai Yu'er, because this was already the greatest value of the bracelet, and her original intention was to let a lucky good owner pick up a leak, but she didn't expect such a situation to occur.

Next to him, Zhao Qingshan and Zhou Ju chatted for a day and didn't pay attention, but she was clear about the current situation, and the imperial capital girl was obviously on the bar with her friend who was not happy if she didn't cause trouble.

With her understanding of the rich young master, I am afraid that when he shouted out 3.8 million, he would already regret his intestines, his money has always been spent to earn a piece back, and it is more difficult to pit him for money than to pit his life, and it is estimated that the fighting spirit will die down to a certain extent, so she is sure that this pair of bracelets will fall into the hands of Miss Xu.

Sure enough, the auctioneer shouted hoarsely and no one bided.

The scene resounded with the warmest applause, and when it was quiet again, Zhou Ju asked Bai Yu'er with some curiosity: "Miss Bai, the winner of the bracelet should be your friend, right?" ”

Bai Yu'er smiled and shook her head and said: "This has to ask our Secretary-General Zhao, Secretary-General, didn't you just say that she was born in an official family? How can you spend millions and hundreds of dollars, Zhou Ju, could it be that I am lonely and unheard, and the salary of civil servants is rising every day?"

Knowing that Bai Yu'er was taking the opportunity to probe Xu Shenyu's details, but Zhao Qingshan took into account the sensitivity of this topic, and it might even cause embarrassment to several officials, Zhao Qingshan had to shrug his shoulders and say: "In addition to Lao Tzu, who is an official, she also has a father-in-law who has a good family background. ”

I didn't dare to be interested in the auction the whole time, and Section Chief Ouyang, who was looking at the beauties everywhere in an upright manner, almost lay on the table, and asked Zhao Qingshan with a flattering face: "Dude, give me an introduction?"

Zhao Qingshan spread his hands with a bitter face and said: "I'm afraid I can't do anything about this, it's okay for me to quarrel with her, help her introduce friends, she has to kidnap my wife." ”

Section Chief Ouyang hung his head and said, "Forget it, let's go home early to accompany my wife and children." ”

Zhou Ju glared and said, "When did you get married and have children?"

Zhao Qingshan has never been sure of the temperament of this Ouyang section chief, but after observing it around, he found that this guy has a small official position, and he is not interested in the two superior leaders at all, not to mention that any civil servant should be strict with himself, and he completely treats the drinking party as a night club, and even the male compatriots who have fun in Yunding are much more reserved than him.

Uncle Zhou was personally introduced to him by Li Ke, which can be used as a talisman, but at the same time, it also needs to be operated slowly to reach the height of Uncle Zhou, he and you get along with you not to give him Zhao Qingshan's face, but to give the Li family face, really begging him to do something, Li Ke may not be effective after a few phone calls, and the key issue is that Zhao Qingshan himself has to get his approval.

As for Director Wang, it should not be difficult to intersect, he has a wide range of hobbies, and he can adopt the four-character policy and do what he likes.

Only this Ouyang Section Chief, Zhao Qingshan has not yet found a way to get along.

And it wasn't until he heard Zhou Ju's doubts that Zhao Qingshan realized that the relationship between Zhou Ju and Section Chief Ouyang should be unusual.

Section Chief Ouyang rolled his eyes and said: "This is just a metaphor, big leader, do you have a bit of humor? I'll go first, you play slowly." ”

It seemed that Zhou Ju was not angry, and got up and said, "Together." ”

Director Wang also got up slowly, and said to Bai Yu'er and Zhao Qingshan with a smile: "Then Wang Mou also said goodbye first." ”
