After Li Ai left, a waiter came over and handed Xiao Yao and Yin Xi a number plate for bidding at auction. Below the number plate is a vertical handle, and above it is a small disc with numbers printed in white letters on a black background. Xiao Yao's is the 22nd, and Yin Xi's is the 23rd. Xiao Yao took a look and was speechless for a while.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the two hosts walked onto the stage of the banquet hall, and the party officially began.

The hosts on the stage are a man and a woman, the man is called Xiao Wei, and the woman is called Lu Ke. Both of them are both actors and hosts, have starred in film and television works and hosted some TV shows, and they are also well-known stars to the audience. Judging from the level of this host, this charity gala also seems to be very classy.

After the two took the stage to announce the start of the party, they first introduced the theme and significance of tonight's event, and then invited the leaders of the government's civil affairs department, representatives of charitable organizations, the CEO of the fashion group behind "Baoli" and the person in charge of "Baoli" magazine to give speeches one by one.

After a fixed opening process, Xiao Wei and Lu Ke returned to the stage to announce the start of the charity auction.

A model wearing a cheongsam walked up to the stage holding a black women's handbag, and Lu Ke introduced everyone: "The first lot is a Cynthia limited edition women's handbag donated by the famous movie star Miss Zhang Xinlei, with a starting price of 30,000 yuan. ”

"Fifty thousand!" Lu Ke introduced, and someone immediately held a sign and said.

The charity auction was the highlight of the evening, and after the auction began, the eyes of the guests were basically focused on the lots on the stage and the guests bidding off the stage.

Of course, there is an exception on site. Since it was a dinner party, there must be prepared food on the table. After the auction began, Xiao Yao just glanced up at the bag in the model's hand, then lowered his head, picked up the fork in front of him and began to eat.

"Hey, do you pay attention to your image and care a little bit about the auction above?" Yin Xi touched Xiao Yao's arm, turned sideways and covered his mouth with one hand and whispered to Xiao Yao, "There are many reporters on the scene, as well as the film team of Donghai Satellite TV, don't just care about eating." ”

"Isn't the food on this table just for us? I'm already a gentleman and a good looker. Xiao Yao picked up the napkin next to him, wiped his mouth, put down the fork and said, "How do you know that I don't care about the auction above?" ”

"That bag was a limited edition from Cynthia the year before last, and it sold for more than 80,000 at that time, and it was very conscientious to start at 30,000 yuan. But this is also a second-hand thing, although it is used by big stars, but it has no other special significance, and it is estimated that it will not be very strong. Even if the final transaction price will exceed the original price, it should be relatively limited. Xiao Yao continued, "It is recommended that you don't make a move if you exceed 100,000, and wait to see if there are other good things in the back." ”

Xiao Yao said that he was not interested in luxury goods, which meant that he was not interested in buying luxury goods. As a fashion photographer, he is still interested in the world's fashion trends and the catalogs of major luxury brands. And he has a very good memory, many things are remembered after reading once, so he is familiar with the product prices of previous years.

Yin Xi, the world's supermodel, naturally knows a lot about luxury, but she doesn't have a good brain like Xiao Yao, and can remember the release time and price of so many things. Hearing Xiao Yao say this, Yin Xi could only glance at him and put down the number plate in his hand.

Almost three minutes later, the price of the bag was called to 200,000, more than double the original price of the thing. Xiao Wei waited for a few seconds, and when he saw that there was no movement below, he began to quote. After three times, there was still no one raising the card to shout the price, and Xiao Wei dropped the hammer to announce the deal.

After the transaction, the two hosts invited the original owner of the lot and the new owner of the lot to the stage, and asked the original owner to hand over the lot to the new owner, and did a handover ceremony on the spot.

These on-site guests are all well-known figures, and they will definitely not default on the bills, and the payment procedures will be left to be handled separately after the dinner. After the handover ceremony, the two guests left the stage with a round of applause from the audience, and the auction of the first lot was completed.

The first lot was sold at a price of 200,000 yuan, which is a good result, and the two hosts are also very happy and full of expectations for the next auction. After all, the higher the price of the live auction, the more it seems that the auctioneers of the two hosts have done a good job.

The second lot was invited to the stage, this time it was replaced by Xiao Wei pointing to the lot held by the model: "The second lot tonight is a Samya men's diamond watch donated by Mr. Yang Jiansheng, the CEO of AirAsia Group, with a starting price of 40,000 yuan. ”

"Last year, Sonya released the Time series of watches, which were also limited editions, with an original price of 88,000. Xiao Yao whispered to Yin Xi and picked up the fork in front of him again.

"Fifty thousand!" Yin Xi said.

"This is a men's watch, why did you take a picture?" Xiao Yao looked at Yin Xi in some surprise and whispered.

"Eighty thousand!" another voice sounded at the scene.

"One hundred thousand!" Yin Xi didn't even look at who was snapping the shot, and raised the number plate in his hand again.

"I see you've always had a bare wrist and you don't even have a watch, so take a picture and make it for you to decorate. After quoting the price, Yin Xi whispered and smiled at Xiao Yao.

"Don't, I don't!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't have a watch, it's just that I often play musical instruments, and I'm not used to being too cumbersome on my hands." Not to mention the watch, you see I don't even wear a ring. ”

"Sometimes you have to wear it to formal occasions. Yin Xi said.

Hearing that someone at the scene reported 120,000, Yin Xi raised a sign again and said, "150,000!"

"One hundred hundred thousand!" said someone else.

"But if you give me a watch, you will give me a piece of second-hand goods that someone else has worn? This is too insincere, right?" Xiao Yao shook his head with a deliberate smile.

"You!" Yin Xi glared at Xiao Yao unhappily, and put down the number plate in his hand hatefully, "It's not rare to pull it down, I won't send it yet!"

"180,000 for the first time! Is there a price increase?" Xiao Wei called the price, his eyes looking at Yin Xi.

Among the people who bid for this watch on the spot, Yin Xi was the only one who had bid twice, Xiao Wei felt that Yin Xi should be more interested in this watch, so he looked at Yin Xi, hoping that she could bid again and raise the price a little more.

Yin Xi felt Xiao Wei's gaze, smiled and shook his head gently, indicating that he had no intention of increasing the price again.

"Two hundred thousand!" another voice rang out at the scene.

Xiao Wei saw that Yin Xi had no intention of raising the price, so he took advantage of the situation to move his eyes to the newly bidding guests.

In the end, this men's watch was sold for 200,000 yuan, which is also more than double the premium, which is also a very good result.

The auction of the next few lots went smoothly as well. The transaction price is basically about two to three times the original price, the scene is relatively harmonious, there is no particularly low transaction price, and of course there is no particularly exaggerated price. After all, it is an auction for charity, and these things are all taken out by celebrities, although they are not bad, they are not particularly good, and there is no too fierce competition during the auction, and there is no too outrageous price.

When it came to the sixth lot, Xiao Wei on the stage introduced: "The next lot is the Swan diamond necklace donated by the international supermodel Miss Yin Xi, by the way, Miss Yin once wore it on the Eva show, the starting price is 48,000, please start bidding." ”

"Two hundred thousand!" As soon as Xiao Wei's voice fell, Xiao Yao raised the number plate and said loudly.

"Huh?" Although 200,000 yuan is not too high a price, the first bid is directly offered at four times the price, which is also quite fierce. Many people at the scene also looked at Xiao Yao.

"Hey, isn't it too boring for you to do this?" Yin Xi whispered to Xiao Yao.

"Didn't you say that I would help you guarantee it?" Xiao Yao smiled, "What if I call for 108,000 and no one calls again?" I can't call another 200,000 for myself, right?"

"How is that possible?" Yin Xi said, "Even if you want to call 200,000, you can wait a little longer, and you can call again when no one calls!"

The purpose of the charity dinner auction is charity, and everyone comes here for charity on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of socialization, and there is generally no vindictiveness. If someone shows that they are determined to get something, they will generally not go to him. Xiao Yao's name of quadrupling his opening is obviously that he cares about this necklace very much, and his current price is almost the same as the transaction price of the previous lots of comparable value, under normal circumstances, there may not be anyone bidding to compete with him.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" But there are no absolutes in the world, just after Xiao Yao's voice fell, another voice sounded at the scene.

"Gotta laugh!" Xiao Yao said to Yin Xi with a smile when he heard this voice.

"The task is completed, don't you feel relaxed?" Yin Xi said dissatisfiedly, "I also said that I was not sincere!"

"Huh, why is he here?" Xiao Yao ignored Yin Xi, followed the voice and turned his head to look at the bidder, just as the person also turned his head to look at Xiao Yao's side, Xiao Yao also immediately recognized the person who made the bid.

"Which one is a better friend?" Yin Xi also looked over, and then said with some doubts, "When did you become good friends with this kind of rich second generation?"

"It's not a good friend, it's a bit of a holiday," Xiao Yao turned his head and smiled at Yin Xi, "Since he's here, let's help you push the price up again!"

"Five hundred thousand!" Xiao Yao said as he held up the number plate again.

"Six hundred thousand!" the man said again.

"One million!" Xiao Yao continued to hold up the card.

"One and a half million!" the man continued, without giving in.

"Oh?" This was the first time there was a-for-tat confrontation tonight, and there was no one else on the scene raising signs, but there were some small chatters.

"Two million!" Xiao Yao said with a smile and held up the number plate.

"Two and a half million!" the man continued.

"That's enough!" Yin Xi pulled Xiao Yao and said, "What's the matter with you and that Shi Lingqiang, why did you get angry for some reason?"

"Where can I fight with this son of the richest man in Yanjing?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It's just that he was once kicked by me, and he was very unhappy when he saw me, and promised that others couldn't trouble me, so he could only find me here to be angry, so I would let him have a little more blood!"

The one who was bidding with Xiao Yao was none other than the young man who was pulling Fang to accompany him in the nightclub KTV, and Xiao Yao kicked him in order to help Fang still break the siege.

At that time, Xiao Yao also had a fight with a boxer friend named Dagang next to him. That Da Gang was Zhou Zhihao's teammate in the national youth team, and he also asked Zhou Zhihao about the person who beat him afterwards. I heard that it was Zhou Zhihao's sworn friend who grew up together, and he lost to the other party in a head-to-head one-on-one fair contest, but that Dagang quickly put down the conflict with Xiao Yao, and even tried to mediate the unhappiness between Xiao Yao and Shi Lingqiang.

Da Gang is a boxer, he has been in the ring many times, and he has been beaten many times, as long as he doesn't sneak attack and make a bad move, he doesn't care too much about being beaten. Shi Lingqiang, a rich second generation, is not a big gang, and he has never worked hard when he conflicts with others, and it is not so easy to let go of things that are kicked and lose face. However, his relationship with Da Gang is similar to Xiao Yao and Zhou Zhihao, and they are also good friends who grew up together. In order to avoid Da Gang's difficulty in the team, he reluctantly promised that he would not trouble Xiao Yao, but he wanted him to reconcile with Xiao Yao, unless Xiao Yao bowed his head and apologized first, he couldn't let go of his resentment towards Xiao Yao no matter what.

Xiao Yao thought that he hadn't done anything wrong, so naturally he wouldn't bow to the rich second generation, so Shi Lingqiang's displeasure with Xiao Yao continued. Although the two did not reconcile, through Zhou Zhihao and Da Gang, two friends in the national youth team, they also knew each other's situation very well. Shi Lingqiang knew that Xiao Yao was a very famous second-generation star, and Xiao Yao also knew that the other party's name was Shi Lingqiang, the son of the richest man in Yanjing reported by the media, and a rich second generation who was also very famous.

Among the rich second generation, Shi Lingqiang is quite good. In addition to having some problems with the general rich second generation, he also has some skills. With the advantage of his family's resources, he has now developed his own career in the business world. He came to Shencheng this time to deal with business matters, but he has always been high-profile like a star, and his itinerary is not very secret, and the organizers also sent him an invitation after knowing that he came to Shencheng. Knowing that there were many stars at the charity gala, he also came to join in the fun, but unexpectedly saw his "enemy" here.

With his relationship with Xiao Yao, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to go over to say hello. But since he met it here, Shi Lingqiang won't let it go easily.

The auction is all about who bids higher. Can't beat him in a fight, can't you beat him with money? Strictly speaking, this is not a trouble for him, and he has not violated his promise to his friends. Being able to steal Xiao Yao's limelight in this regard and extinguish his prestige can be regarded as a breath. With his thoughts about Xiao Yao, he has always been in the limelight, and he has rarely kept a low profile. He stared at Xiao Yao to see what Xiao Yao was interested in, and he came out to cut off his beard again!

Shi Lingqiang also knew that Xiao Yao and Yin Xi had cooperated to establish a fashion brand, and the relationship must be very good. As soon as Yin Xi's things came out, Xiao Yao directly opened four times the price, as if he was determined to win, Shi Lingqiang naturally couldn't let Xiao Yao buy the supermodel and beauty back to make her happy, so he called the price-for-tat.

"I don't care what you have with him, anyway, you don't want to fight with him. Yin Xi persuaded, "These rich second generations are all spoiled children, who knows what they can do." ”

"This guy is not like an ordinary gentleman, he is more measured, and he is quite trustworthy, and he really didn't trouble me after agreeing to a friend. Xiao Yao smiled, "But since you spoke, I won't call it, anyway, this price can be regarded as making him bleed." ”

"Two and a half million for the first time!" Xiao Wei repeated the highest price on the scene, and looked at Xiao Yao like everyone in the audience.
