Chapter 111

Nobel Prize Laureate Li Yizhong continued to say on the stage: "I have briefly introduced myself, and then I will talk about the purpose of my charity dinner today.

I have dedicated my life to protecting the planet, reducing harmful emissions, and reducing the greenhouse effect. Of course, I also want world peace, but heads of state will not listen to me as an old man. ”

At this time, most of the people in the audience were amused by Li Yizhong's humor.

Li Yizhong was amused by everyone in the stands, paused for a while and continued:

"So I have been exploring what I can to promote the protection of the earth and the reduction of the greenhouse effect, and in the past few years, my private research laboratory has been sponsored by many parties, including the help of good friends in the audience, and I am here to thank everyone!"

Saying that, Li Yizhong put down the microphone and bowed ninety degrees to the guests sitting in the audience.

Hundreds of guests in the audience were applauding, and the applause resounded throughout the audience, and everyone was responding to the old man with applause.

After the applause stopped, Li Yizhong continued to pick up the microphone and continued:

"Because of the funding of friends from all walks of life, I took my team to Antarctica a few years ago to find and study the emerging clean energy of combustible ice.

Governments around the world are aware of the existence of combustible ice and have included it in their strategic energy reserves, but rarely mention it to the public.

This shows that the reserves of combustible ice must be very large, and combustible ice is efficient, pollution-free, and is a very good clean energy, which will definitely replace oil and coal, which are highly polluting non-renewable resources.

However, my team and I are now short of funds to go to Antarctica for the second expedition, so today we held this charity auction, and the funds raised will be used as funds for our team's second expedition, so that my team can go to Antarctica to find conclusive evidence of combustible ice reserves!

At that time, we can promote combustible ice as a clean energy source to replace oil and coal around the world, so as to promote the global environmental revolution and make the greatest contribution to a better tomorrow for the earth. ”

At this time, the audience once again burst into thunderous applause.

I also applaud him for his profound righteousness, no wonder people can win the Nobel Prize for morality, he really used his life's work to contribute to all mankind.

Half a minute later, the applause faded away.

Li Yizhong continued to hold the microphone and said:

"I would like to thank all the friends who donated to the charity auction, and I would like to thank the friends who generously bought these items for a while, and then we will ask the professionals of Triumph Square Garden Hotel to help us hold this charity auction. ”

After speaking, he put down the microphone and bowed deeply to the audience again.

Everyone in the audience also applauded Mr. Li Yizhong again.

Then Li Yizhong went up first, put his hands together to express his gratitude to everyone, and then walked to the chair on the side of the stage and sat down.

Then three people in black suits and red bow ties walked up to the stage, followed by two people pushing two cars and parked next to the podium.

At this moment, a curtain was lowered above the stage, and white spotlights shone on the three red-tie auctioneers standing on the podium.

The three of them stood in the middle and held the microphone and said: "Friends, gentlemen, ladies, today's price increase for each item is at least 10,000 yuan, and there is no limit to the increase, thank you for participating." ”

There was a round of applause from the audience.

Then the waiter wearing the red bow tie on the right took out a wooden box from the cart, dragged it on the palm of his hand, and gently opened it to reveal a watch inside.

Even in the dim light, the watch was still shining, and a picture of the watch was displayed on the curtain behind the stage.

The middle host said: "The first auction item is a series of perpetual calendar full diamond manual mechanical watches donated by Nia King Watch Group, with a starting price of 1 million Asian dollars! ”

Immediately after that, the people sitting in the audience began to hold up their signs.

The host in the middle said: "No. 098 holds up 1.01 million." ”

The host on the left continued: "1.02 million on the 129th." ”

"No. 118, 1.03 million. ”

There are constantly people holding up signs below, fiercely competing for this diamond watch.

It turned out that three people on the stage were cooperating with the auction, two of them paid attention to the bidding from the audience, and one showed the auction items.

It was a very lively and interesting meeting, and I was curious about the specific value of this watch.

So he leaned down and poked his head into President Pu and asked, "I didn't see this watch in the quotation, how much is it worth?"

President Pu covered his mouth with his left hand and explained to me softly: "The price list you see is a quotation for a mass-produced watch, and this one in the auction is a limited edition, and the quantity is limited, so the price is higher, the retail price of this watch is 1.2 million, and the dealer's price is 400,000." ”

I nodded to President Pu, then leaned back in my chair and continued to watch the charity auction in the venue.

At this time, this full diamond watch has been called 1.9 million Asian dollars.

At a table not far from us, someone held up a sign in his left hand and a three-in-one gesture in his right hand.

The host in the middle shouted: "No. 039 bid 2.3 million." ”

But the man No. 039 who raised three fingers did not put down his hand, but still held three fingers, and the whole palm of his hand moved from side to side.

At this time, the host on the left looked at the man's raised hand and shouted excitedly: "Mr. 039 is bidding 3 million Asian dollars!"

The man then held up the palm of his hand with three fingers and tapped it back and forth before lowering it.

The host on the left continued to shout: "Are there any friends who are higher than 3 million Asian dollars?"

"3 million once, 3 million twice, 3 million three times!"

The host in the middle shouted happily: "Here, we thank No. 039 for the charitable donation from General Manager Wang of Boya Xuan Liquor!"

There was a round of warm applause around, and everyone looked at General Manager Wang and congratulated him on his charitable donation.

The red-tie attendant holding the watch on the right side of the stage then handed the watch box to a waiter in the audience.

He turned around and sent the watch to the desk of General Manager No. 039 Wang, who had just raised the card.

And he was followed by a waiter, holding a credit card machine in his hand, and walked to General Manager Wang and handed it over.

General Manager Wang also understood the rules, took out the bank card in his pocket, swiped 3 million Asian yuan without hesitation, and then put his hand on the watch box and continued to look at the next auction items on the podium.

In the blink of an eye, the first charity auction was completed, and I remembered the process in detail.

I was excited in my heart, and I also wanted to try to buy an item, and I could also contribute to Li Yizhong, an old man who loves the earth.

At this time, I looked to the left side of the stage, and Li Yizhong was sitting on a chair, not very happy.

He was holding something in his hand, constantly rubbing it, and his face showed a sad face.

"Friends, the next second auction item is a pair of natural ice jade ladies bracelets donated by General Manager Zhu Xun of Yujian Jixiang Jewelry Building, with a starting price of 400,000 Asian dollars, and friends can bid. ”

I looked at the curtain behind the stage, and a pair of watery jade bracelets appeared on them, and the whole bracelet was as white as cotton, with some bright gray inside.

This color is similar to the color of the lychee-flavored soda that I usually drink, and it looks more translucent.

The third part of the jade bracelet has a touch of dark green, like the finishing touch, which makes people shine.

This green color is like pouring a drop of thick ink into a basin of clear water, the entrance to the water is thick, and the surrounding area is hazy, and this basin of clear water is a jade bracelet.

Let the people who see this pair of jade jade bracelets feel like they can't put it down!

I turned my head to Feng Xiaoyan and the others beside me and said, "Wang Meng and Xiaoyan, do you like this pair of bracelets?"

Wang Meng nodded at me and said, "Well, it looks very beautiful." ”

"Aoxiong, this bracelet is really good-looking, do you want to give it to us?"

"It seems that this jade bracelet is related to you, it happens to be a pair, and I bought one for each of your sisters. I replied to Feng Xiaoyan with a smile.

At this time, the auctioneer on the podium shouted: "Mr. 077 bids 550,000 Asian dollars." ”

I picked up the auction plate on the table and held it high with my right hand.

"Mr. 018 bid 560,000 Asian dollars. ”

Then I put down the offer card and looked at the auctioneer in front of me.

Then the auctioneer in the middle looked at the table to my right and shouted, "Mr. 024 bids 570,000 Asian dollars." ”

I held up the quote order again with my right hand.

The auctioneer on the left looked at me and shouted, "Mr. 018 bids 580,000 Asian dollars." ”

Then the auctioneer in the middle shouted: "Mr. 024 bids 590,000 Asian dollars." ”

At this time, I thought that everyone would like good things, so there were always people bidding with me, and I wanted to do it quickly, and my arms were tired when I always raised the card.

Then I looked at the quote on the left, with his right arm on the table, half-holding the quote card, and his left hand raised high and extending an index finger.

The quote on the left looked at me and said loudly, "Mr. 018 bids 690,000 Asian dollars!"

I shook my left hand from side to side, signaling him to say less, he thought I was raising the price by 100,000.

Immediately after that, the quotation clerk on the left looked at my gesture carefully, raised his voice and said, "Mr. 018 just bid 1 million Asian dollars!"

I tapped back and forth with my left hand, signaling that he was right, 1 million was the price I offered.

I put down my hands, and then I noticed that many of the guests attending the dinner party were secretly looking at me from time to time.

They probably think I'm bidding a lot, after all, I gave a million for 400,000 things.

The quote on the left looked at me with a smile and shouted, "Are there any friends who are higher than 1 million Asian dollars?"

"1 million for the first time, 1 million ......"

When I thought I was winning, the quotation clerk in the middle looked at the table to my right and shouted, "Mr. 024 bids 1.01 million Asian dollars." ”

I frowned slightly, thinking that it wouldn't be such a coincidence, could it be that Mr. 024 also wants to buy a jade bracelet to give away?

In any case, I will buy this jade bracelet today and give it to Xiaoyan and Mengmeng.

I held up the offer sign with my right hand again.

Because our table was in the first row, closer to the podium, I shouted directly to the auctioneer on the left, "I'll pay 1.5 million Asian dollars." ”

Then the auctioneer on the left nodded to me, and then said excitedly with the microphone: "Mr. 018 bid 1.5 million Asian dollars, it seems that this gentleman really likes this pair of ice jade bracelets!"

At this time, the quotation clerk in the middle looked at the table to my right and shouted: "Mr. 024 bids 1.51 million Asian dollars again! It seems that both gentlemen like this pair of jade bracelets very much!"

I turned my head and looked in the direction of the quotation clerk in the middle, and at the second table to my right sat a handsome young man in a white suit and a flower shirt, less than thirty years old, with a high-spirited appearance.

He was holding a quote card with the number 024 written on it.

Ye Ming suddenly leaned over and approached me and said, "Brother Xiong, I see that No. 024 over there is making trouble for us, how can there be such a bid? It is only 10,000 higher than us every time!"

"It's okay to spend the cat, maybe people like it too, let's just continue to bid. ”

I turned my head to look at the quote on the left, held up the quote sign again and said, "I'll pay 2 million Asian dollars." ”

Then I looked at the handsome young man at the table in the distance, wondering if he would continue to fight with me.
