Xiao Yao felt the eyes of the audience, and knew that Xiao Wei's words were said to himself, which meant urging himself to continue to increase the price, so he shrugged his shoulders to Xiao Wei on the stage, then smiled and spread his hands, and pointed in the direction of Shi Lingqiang with his two palms, the meaning was obvious: "I won't fight with him!"

"Oh~" As soon as Xiao Yao's action came out, not only Xiao Wei understood, but all the guests on the scene also understood. originally thought that there was a-for-tat show to watch, but I didn't expect Xiao Yao to retreat so quickly. But think about it, in terms of popularity, it is indeed Xiao Yao in the entertainment industry who is higher, but in terms of financial resources, it seems that Shi Lingqiang, the son of the richest man in Yanjing, is better.

"Two and a half million for the second time!" After understanding what Xiao Yao meant, Xiao Wei also started the second offer. Although Xiao Yao is indisputable, this price is already the highest price so far tonight, and it is also the first price to reach seven figures, and Xiao Wei is already very happy.

However, Shi Lingqiang was not very happy at this time. Although he achieved his original goal, he forced Xiao Yao to withdraw from the auction. But Xiao Yao's expression was not as unwilling or angry as he expected, but with a smile on his face, his face was light and light, as if he didn't care about the competition with him at all, so that he didn't feel much of the thrill of victory and revenge. At this time, when he heard Xiao Wei quote his price for the second time, Shi Lingqiang felt a little depressed again.

When bidding with Xiao Yao, Shi Lingqiang didn't pay much attention to the meaning of the price number, he was originally added on the basis of Xiao Yao's price of 500,000,200,000, but Xiao Yao's offer was directly reported as an integer of 501,000,000, he didn't want to be stingy, so he added a half hundred integer of 500,000 on the basis of Xiao Yao's 2 million, but now that Xiao Yao stopped, Xiao Wei reported his price twice, and Shi Lingqiang suddenly realized that the numerical meaning of his offer did not seem to be very good.

"Two and a half million, isn't that "two hundred and five"?" Thinking of this, Shi Lingqiang was a little skeptical that Xiao Yao was deliberately luring himself into reporting this number, so as to laugh at himself for being "two hundred and five". However, the current situation is that unless there are other people on the scene who quote again, he can no longer increase his own offer. Not to mention whether it is in line with the rules or not, this will only remind some people who have not noticed the special meaning of this number, and this kind of thing that has already been in hand, they have to have an extra 100,000 yuan, and this kind of behavior itself is also very "two hundred and five".

However, the bidding between him and Xiao Yao just now was too fierce, and everyone else on the scene basically entered the theater mode, and no one was interested in the lot that far exceeded its own value. If Xiao Yao looked angry or showed an unwilling expression, maybe someone would come out to help him fight, but Xiao Yao made a "please" action in the direction of Shi Lingqiang with a smile on his face, and everyone understood that Xiao Yao was happy to let Shi Lingqiang get the lot, and no one came forward to shout at this time.

"Two and a half million for the third time!" Xiao Wei picked up the wooden hammer and knocked it on the base of the table, and said with a final word, "Congratulations to Mr. Shi Lingqiang on No. 38 for winning the Swan diamond necklace donated by Miss Yin Xi at a price of two and a half million." ”

"Bang bang!" Xiao Yao was the first to stand up, and Chong Shi Lingqiang applauded with a smile on his face.

"This is the first lot to be sold for more than one million today, and it has reached a high price of 2.5 million yuan at once, and it is very likely to be our bid king tonight, let us give some applause to Mr. Shi Lingqiang for his generosity to the people in the disaster area. Seeing Xiao Yao standing up and applauding, Xiao Wei raised the microphone and said, and also applauded.

Yin Xi also stood up and applauded with Xiao Yao, and then, many people around stood up and applauded Shi Lingqiang's generosity.

Shi Lingqiang felt that Xiao Yao's applause seemed to be deliberately slapping himself in the face, but he couldn't be indifferent to the applause of all the guests at the scene, so he could only stand up and wave his hand to the guests at the scene reservedly.

Next, Miss Yin Xi and Mr. Shi Lingqiang were invited to come up and complete the handover ceremony of this lot on the spot. After the applause fell, the guests all sat back in their seats, and Xiao Wei also invited the two owners of the lot on the stage, the old and the new, to the stage.

After Yin Xi and Shi Lingqiang, who had completed the handover ceremony, walked off the stage and returned to their seats, a model walked up to the stage from behind with the next lot, and Lu Ke also took over Xiao Wei's class, walked to the middle of the stage and introduced to everyone: "The next lot is an acoustic guitar donated by Xiao Yao! ”

"Wow~" An exclamation sounded from the audience. All the lots so far tonight are valuable luxury goods purchased by donors, and what they have made is put up for auction, Xiao Yao is still the first one.

"But!" Lu Ke changed his words, reached out and plucked a few times on the guitar strings held by the model, deliberately leaned his head close to the guitar speaker, and listened to the guitar make a few notes, before frowning and continuing, "Except for Xiao Yao, we don't seem to have any particularly professional musicians on the scene, and we can't seem to judge the sound quality of this guitar." ”

"Huh?" The guests at the scene showed a trace of doubt, "Doubting the quality of the things that people take out, isn't this dismantling the stage in public?"

"So, I have a proposal, which is to ask Xiao Yao to come on stage and play a tune for us with this guitar, so that we can feel the tone of this guitar live. Speaking of which, Lu Ke looked at Xiao Yao, and said to the guests in the audience, "I believe that the better Xiao Yao performs on the spot, the higher the transaction price of this guitar will be, don't you think?"

"Yes!" the guests at the scene understood, and they all applauded and laughed.

Since Xiao Yao was invited, the organizers didn't want to let it go so easily. Xiao Yao refused the organizer's opening performance on the grounds that his voice was not in good condition. But his voice is not in good condition, which only affects his singing, but does not affect his performance. If Xiao Yao is asked to play the guitar for the opening performance at the beginning, firstly, the form is a little dry, and secondly, the organizer probably guesses that Xiao Yao does not want to be a guest performer at the party, and may still refuse.

But this time is different. Now let Xiao Yao play on stage, so that he can show the lot he donated, so that the guitar he donated can be auctioned at a higher price and make more contributions to the disaster area. Moreover, the performance on stage in the middle of the auction is more casual and relaxed in form than the opening performance, coupled with the coaxing of the guests on the scene, Xiao Yao is unlikely to refuse.

Indeed, in this situation, Xiao Yao was really embarrassed, and he didn't intend to refuse. So he smiled and nodded, got up from his seat, and walked to the stage.

Seeing Xiao Yao take over the guitar from the model's hand, Xiao Wei, who was temporarily standing next to the stage, also had the foresight to move an idle chair from under the stage and put it in the middle of the stage.

Xiao Yao thanked Xiao Wei, sat down in the chair, put the guitar on his lap, and reached out to pluck the strings and adjust the knob, and began to tune the guitar.

After a while, Xiao Yao adjusted the tone of the guitar. Reaching out and sweeping over the six strings of the guitar, he nodded, coughed, and adjusted his sitting position slightly.

"Do you want to play and sing to yourself?" Lu Ke heard Xiao Yao's cough, and quickly sent the microphone to Xiao Yao's front and asked.

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "I have been in the disaster area some time ago, and I haven't rested too well, so my voice is not in a very good state, and it is not suitable for singing in the past few days." I'm here to show you the tone of this guitar, and singing is a bit of a distraction, so I'm going to play a tune for you. ”

"Then what song are you going to play for us?" Lu Ke said, "I know you have released guitar music albums, although I like the song "Good Day" in it, but it doesn't seem to fit today's theme." ”

"And what do you want to hear? Xiao Yao smiled.

"Then the song "Castle in the Sky", I remember that video in which you played the harmonica to the injured in the medical tent in the disaster area, let's listen to the guitar version today. Lu Ke said.

"Just 'Castle in the Sky,'" Xiao Wei also said on the side, "If there really was a city in the sky, this misfortune would not have happened." ”

"Wait a minute!" Shi Lingqiang, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly spoke, "I heard that Xiao Yao is a creative genius, and every time he performs in public, he sings original new songs. Although you don't sing today, it's a public occasion, and since you've been in the disaster area for so long, you must have a deep feeling, so why don't you write a guitar tune for the people in the disaster area now? ”

"On-site creation, this is too embarrassing, isn't it?" There was some discussion below, and Lin Xiaoyi stood up directly.

"Of course, he can also play the music he wrote before, as long as it has not been released, we have not heard it, he said that it was created on the spot, and we have no one to refute it. Shi Lingqiang turned around and said to Lin Xiaoyi.

"How long has it been since Brother Bayi released an album of guitar songs? He is not a composer specially, where is there any stock, and it is still a guitar song that happens to be related to today's theme?" Lin Xiao said angrily.

"Isn't it okay?" Shi Lingqiang turned his head to look at Xiao Yao on the stage and said, "Great genius!"

"Sit down!" Lin Shaohua, who was sitting, pulled Lin Xiaoyi, who stood up.

"Dad, that person is obviously deliberately embarrassing Brother Bayi. Lin Xiaoyi sat down unwillingly and pouted.

"I know," Lin Shaohua smiled and pointed to Xiao Yao on the stage, "But when does your Bayi brother need you to help him out?" ”

"Absolutely. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Then I'll play a guitar song I wrote for the people in the disaster area." ”

This Shi Lingqiang is also a layman to music. If he asks Xiao Yao to write a song for the people in the disaster area now, Xiao Yao may still be a little embarrassed, mainly in terms of lyrics, Xiao Yao may not be able to think of the right one for a while. But if it's pure music, this range is much larger. As long as it is not a particularly cheerful and intense song, a little sad or a song that makes people feel warmer, it can be said that it was composed for the people in the disaster area.

When Xiao Yao released those three music albums before, he didn't empty out the classic pure music tunes in his previous life. Xiao Yao still has a lot of stock in his mind for this kind of sad or warm tunes, including a lot of special guitar tunes, let alone playing one now, even playing three or five tunes that have never appeared in this world and are suitable for tonight's disaster relief theme.

"Here is a guitar song called "Cherry Blossoms of Wishes". Xiao Yao said on the microphone that Lu Ke held in front of him.

Xiao Yao decided to play a song "Wish" by fingerstyle guitarist GIN in his previous life, and when he introduced it, Xiao Yao directly changed his name to a more Chinese one.

"Is this really the case?" Shi Lingqiang was a little surprised, and then began to provoke, "Sakura? Why do you use Japanese flowers as the name of the song for our Chinese people?"

"Japanese flowers?" Xiao Yao stopped preparing to play, and looked at Shi Lingqiang with some astonishment, "Who said that cherry blossoms are the flowers of Japan, just because they are the national flowers of Japan?"

"Isn't it?" Shi Lingqiang said with a stiff neck.

"Of course not. Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "Cherry blossoms are native to the Himalayas, and after being artificially cultivated, they were gradually introduced to the Yangtze River Basin, Southwest China and Baodao in China. In the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, when all countries came to the court, Japan admired Chinese culture and sent a large number of Tang envoys to China to study, and the cherry blossoms were also brought back by Japanese worshippers at that time. Although cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan and are now the most famous cherry blossoms in Japan, it does not mean that cherry blossoms are exclusive to Japan. In terms of history, the history of cherry blossom cultivation in China is much longer than that in Japan. The National University of Jiangcheng in Hubei Province has a cherry blossom festival every year at the end of March and early April, and we don't have to go to Japan to see cherry blossoms. ”

"Really?" said Shi Lingqiang suspiciously.

Of course, Brother Bayi has won the championship in "Ancient Poetry Conference" and "One Stop to the End", and is known as the "walking encyclopedia". Lin Xiaoyi didn't stand up this time, but sat in his seat to cheer for Xiao Yao, and said crisply, "He must have read more books and understood more things than you!"

"Cherry blossoms are a symbol of love and hope, so we won't talk about love, but I think it fits our theme for tonight. Xiao Yao continued, "Isn't it just to bring hope to the people in the disaster area when we hold this auction party tonight?"

"I know that when it comes to cherry blossoms now, they are indeed more famous in Japan, and they represent Japan to a certain extent. But even so, so what?" Xiao Yao continued, "I have not forgotten history, and I have no intention of whitewashing that nation collectively. I was at the scene of the earthquake in Uyu County, and I knew that the first foreign rescue team to reach the disaster area was a Japanese rescue team. They did a lot of work and saved a lot of people. At least these Japanese people who came to the rescue are very worthy of our respect and gratitude. Since there is such a group of people in Japan who have actually helped us in the disaster area, I don't think there is anything wrong with me writing a song after the name of Japan's national flower. ”
