This situation is actually difficult for the Chinese to understand.

Chen Jin obviously stood on the stage, in front of many powerful and celebrities, in a large number of shots, and in front of the public, Chi Guoguo's provocation of the entire LA!

But what everyone gave him was not resistance and contempt, but applause and screams.

This has to do with the overall ideology of the West......

Since the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the Western powers, white people have become the rulers of the whole world.

The kind of pride and arrogance that is like a Tianlong person, deep in the bone marrow, is imperceptibly shaped by the hegemony of more than two hundred years.

For example, their education of children is often:

You are a genius!

You will be the best!

You will be great!

The pride of conceit to the extreme......

So in their consciousness, humility is not a good virtue, but rather a synonym for timidity and cowardice.

When many international students just go to study in the West, they are praised by teachers or classmates, and they will express that they are still very weak, which often causes misunderstandings and makes people feel that they are pretending to be wolves.

On the contrary, when Western students are praised, they will naturally express their gratitude, and then enjoy the envious eyes......

Chen Jin is the same.

Although he has not been in Los Angeles for a long time, he has experienced a battle with the 35 Bank, which caused the Jefferies to make a desperate gamble, and he withdrew from the Sidei family dinner, and today he came here with a handwritten invitation from Gates......

According to the idea of Westerners, he is worthy of what he just said, so no one will be stingy with praise!

Chen You in the audience was already accustomed to all this, but Kong Que didn't turn the corner for a while, and asked in surprise: "He is such a stinky fart, why are everyone still so happy?"

"They only respect the strong. Chen You explained, applauding desperately.

Some of Kong Que began to understand why in recent years the Chinese government has been preaching that "the national is the world", as well as "cultural export" and "national self-confidence".

This kind of ideological struggle has no trace, it cannot be seen or touched, but it is actually one of the most important confrontation positions between China and the West.

But what makes her even more proud is that Chen Jin seems to have grown up in this environment......

After the opening, Chen Jin said a few more casual words and stepped off the stage, and he was greeted by a large number of celebrities and powerful people who came forward to greet him.

For the first time, Chen Jin also really began to integrate into the upper circle of Los Angeles, and talked to those people cheerfully and proudly, without any jerky feeling.

As media people, they are keenly aware that Chen Jin's photos are likely to be used frequently in the future.

……

……

Mondstadt was clever enough not to enter the auction immediately after the opening, but to put on soothing music to ensure that the high-class figures had plenty of time to communicate with Chen Jin.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that Mondstadt felt that it was almost there, and he came to the stage again.

As the music faded into tading, he cleared his throat and said aloud, "Gentlemen and ladies, the auction is about to begin." ”

As the words fell, an assistant pushed up a small auction table, and Mondstadt himself stood behind as the auctioneer, picked up the small hammer, and smiled at the crowd that had already gathered in the audience: "Next is the first lot, donated by Mr. Michael Rocco, the Piaget Black Tea watch." ”

"The tag price is 230,000 dollars, and the starting price is 250,000 dollars, start now!"

"260,000~"

"280,000~"

"300,000~"

"360,000~"

The price rose quickly, and this Piaget watch, which was not even set with diamonds, was finally sold for 380,000 dollars, which is more than a lifetime more expensive than its label price.

380,000 dollars, this money can buy a luxury supercar directly in the United States, but it was used by a retired MLB star to take a watch.

Perhaps the watch will end up in his showcase, used as a prop to show off his wealth.

This is the current situation in the United States - the gap between the rich and the poor is unimaginable. God knows how many people can be fed with 380,000 dollars?

It's just that no one on the scene cares about this, they only care if they take a picture or two of objects, so as to get some conversation.

The auction is ongoing......

Watches, jewelry, antiques, handicrafts, all of them have been auctioned off at sky-high prices!

In just over half an hour, Chen Jin made a rough calculation that this charity auction had raised more than 5 million dollars!

Below, is the lot donated by Miss Chen You, the Chopard red carpet series diamond necklace. ”

"The tag price is 760,000 dollars, and the starting price is 800,000 dollars. ”

Warm applause began to ring in the venue, and everyone cast envious glances at Chen You......

The necklace of 800,000 knives was donated when he said he would donate it, and in their opinion, this must be a means for Chen Jin to show off his wealth.

However, as soon as Abbey Fury heard about this lot, she looked at Chen You with some grievances, but saw that Chen You also happened to look at him, and cast a playful look.

This necklace was specially flown to Europe by him and bought it from another collector, and it cost him nearly 1 million dollars.

The reason why it took so much trouble was that the necklace was a gift from a European nobleman to his wife when it left the factory, and the initials "CY" were customized.

Abbey plans to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to shorten the distance between him and Chen You, which also shortens the distance between Chen Jin.

If you go one step further and can capture Chen Youfang's heart, it will be even more perfect!

However......

"1.26 million knives!"

After Eric Sitty shouted a sky-high price, and at the same time told others with his eyes not to compete with him.

After all, he was the mayor who had just taken office, and he still had this face, and the diamond necklace was successfully photographed by Eric.

Then he stepped forward, ignoring his wife's indifferent eyes and Abbey's resentful gaze, and came to Chen You......

"Miss Chen You. He said politely: "This dazzling necklace is still the best match for you, so I will give it to you to praise your beauty!"

Chen You was stunned, she never expected that Eric would have this hand and buy the lot she donated to give it to herself?

Isn't that a lot of money burning?

But don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that others just spent more than 1 million dollars to please themselves.

Chen You didn't refuse, nor did she accept, Chen Jin was surrounded by other people and couldn't get out of it for a while, so she had to look at Kong Que for help.

This look of asking for help made Kong Que smile secretly in his heart, Chen You was really a little less experienced and a little thin-skinned, not as bewitching as Chen Jin.

She stepped forward and stood between the two of them, and said politely: "Mr. Eric, in Huaxia, the necklace should be a gift for your sweetheart." And you... I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

"Huh?" Eric was shocked, he didn't know that there was such a custom in Huaxia?

He only nodded and walked away.

Abbey had been standing not far away, and seeing this happen, her heart was finally a little balanced.

He came up to Eric and joked, "Mr. Mayor, it seems that your charm only works for Madeleine, not for anyone else." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately looked towards Madeleine, only to see that the woman was chatting with a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, as if she didn't care about the situation here.

"Abbey~" Eric said with heartfelt emotion: "I sincerely advise you to get married later." ”

Abbey laughed, a little rampant.

At that moment, Mondstadt shouted loudly, "Next, is the last lot of the day, donated by Mr. John Bullard, from the famous master of neon, the World War II Army Commander-in-Chief Sabre!"

"The starting price... $1,000,000!"

The moment Mondstadt's words fell, a group of people surrounding Chen Jin suddenly felt a surging sharp aura enveloping their bodies, and one by one they didn't dare to speak, let alone move.

It's Chen Jin!

He squinted, looked at the saber in the stands, and instantly locked onto John Bullard with live point radar......

It was an old man, although he was gray-haired, but he was tall, majestic and strong, and he knew at a glance that he was a muscular stick when he was young.

And when Chen Jin looked at him, he was also staring at Chen Jin.

At the moment when the two made eye contact, Old John's slightly cloudy eyes even shot a sharp gaze, competing with Chen Jin!

"He did it on purpose!" Chen Jin came to a conclusion in an instant.

His coming to dinner today was impromptu, but it was easy to guess, after all, it was the biggest public upper-level event in Los Angeles recently.

So John Bullard definitely deliberately donated this saber, just to use the hatred of blood and fire, and the heroic souls of more than 30 million people to provoke Chen Jin!

"Who is John Bullard?" Chen Jin stared at the other party and asked, and the people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

A middle-aged man replied: "He is a veteran of World War II, and it is said that he also participated in the Peninsula Campaign later." After retiring, he started to do steel and building materials business, belonging to the first generation of tycoons, even now, he has a strong appeal among some extreme groups in Los Angeles!"

"Steel building materials?" Chen Jin heard this, and looked at Old John's eyes becoming more and more gloomy.

Steel and building materials belong to the downstream industry of real estate, which fluctuates with the fluctuations of real estate. Therefore, if Chen Jin really grasps the right to speak in the real estate industry in Los Angeles, I am afraid that his interests will be endangered immediately.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Old John didn't think that after Chen Jin ascended to the throne, he would continue to use that fixed and rotten circle.

The contradiction of interests between two people is irreconcilable, not to mention that he still has an extremely strong personal hatred?

At this time, the auction on the stage had already begun, and the price of 1 million dollars was quickly raised to 1.6 million dollars.

Needless to say, it was John Sr.'s supporters of his actions......

Thinking of this, Chen Jin thought for a moment and walked towards John Bullard.

John was also very single, and greeted Chen Jin.

Both of them were full of momentum, faintly forming two invisible coercions, gradually approaching, rubbing, and colliding......
