Text Text_Chapter 742 Contribute to charity
Where did Jiang Chong dare to have a temper, he directly pasted the big-eared melon seeds on his face, and he didn't care about the severity, he just threw it away.
His mouth was also crying and mourning: "Mr. Zou, if you give me a chance, I will never ...... again"
Without waiting for Jiang Chong to finish speaking, the charity auction party over there officially began.
The guests had already begun to move closer to the auction hall.
Zou Gaoyi didn't want to see Jiang Chong, so he left directly with Zheng Qiantou without looking back.
When Jiang Chong saw this, his face was even more sluggish, and he sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul.
I kept saying in my heart: "It's over, it's all over now, the Jiang Group is finished!"
However, at this moment, a voice came from behind him.
"It's not over yet!"
Jiang Chong turned his head in shock, but his mouth was out of his mouth and shouted, "Wei Shao......"
……
The Zou family is a famous family in Longling City, and the seat is naturally in the front, plus Zou Gaoyi wants to introduce the Xu family to Zheng Qian, and the location is not far from the Xu family, only two rows apart.
Soon, the auction began.
The front is all hors d'errites, and some of the collections are just knick-knacks, and the price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Zheng Qian looked at it the same, and he was not impatient.
"The next auction is Tang Bohu's red cliff map, with a starting price of eight million US dollars, and each increase must not be less than one million US dollars!" said the old man who held the auction on the stage.
As soon as the old man's words fell, a man sitting in the front row held up a sign: "Ten million!"
But soon, someone continued to respond, "Twelve million!"
The price war soared all the way, and soon reached fifteen million, and at this time, everyone was a little relieved, and it was not as fierce as before.
After all, 15 million US dollars is not a small amount, it is nearly 100 million yuan.
Sitting on the side, Zheng Qian was also looking at the painting, he had all the inheritance of Tang Bohu, and he was naturally more qualified to judge the painting than everyone present.
This "Red Cliff Map" is the thirteenth year of Ming Hongzhi, Tang Bohu left Suzhou, arrived at Zhenjiang by boat, and then went to Yangzhou, visited Slender West Lake, Pingshantang and other places, among them, took a boat to go up the river to Huangzhou, and saw the red cliff ruins when painted, it is indeed genuine, and during this tour, Tang Bohu was quite interested, this painting also represents the peak of Tang Yin's paintings, very collectible!
Zou Gaoyi, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke, "Eighteen million!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Many people's eyes were cast, but they all remained silent after seeing that the bidder was Zou Gaoyi, obviously Zou Gaoyi was bound to win this painting.
The Zou family has a high status in Longling City, and ordinary people will not be offended by this, but fortunately they don't speak.
The auctioneer on the stage also knew about it and began to prepare for the hammer.
But just after shouting for the second time, another voice came out.
"Twenty million!"
"...... Uproar"
Everyone was startled, and looking at the voice, many people's faces began to become funny.
"Wei Shao......"
"It is said that the Wei family and the Zou family have always been incompatible, and the two families are rivals in business, and they are even more-for-tat in private, it seems to be true!"
"What's more, the successor of the Wei family, three brothers, known as the Wechs-Webster Three Tigers, the three brothers joined forces, the Wechs-Webster enterprise is thriving, I also heard last month that this Wei robbed the Zou family of a big order, on the contrary, the Zou family...... In the current generation, Zou Gaoyi can take the lead alone, but his younger brother has become a gangster, and if this continues, the Zou family will probably be compared to the Wei family!"
"It's no wonder that although Tang Yin's words are precious, according to the current market price, 100 million yuan is already about the same, and 18 million US dollars is more than the estimated price, but even so, the Wei family still intervened sideways and did not let Zou Gaoyi get his hands on it, and his intentions can be seen!"
……
Everyone was talking, and Zou Gaoyi was also pale, and he was about to continue to increase the price, but was stopped by Zheng Gan.
"Forget it!" Zheng Qian shook his head.
Zou Gaoyi's face froze, and he explained in a low voice: "My father prefers calligraphy and painting, especially Tang Bohu's, this time he has recovered from a serious illness, I want to use this calligraphy and painting as a gift to him, but it ......"
Zheng Qian knew that Zou Gaoyi was a filial son, and he didn't break it, "This is easy to do, just listen to me!"
Although Zou Gaoyi didn't know what Zheng Gan's tricks were, he didn't want to ask again at the moment.
Soon, the auction continued.
"Next is a copybook, according to the donor, is Wang Xizhi's authentic handiwork, it is rumored that Wang Xizhi loves geese, a time out to play, is to use this copybook to replace two geese, and then, this copybook is handed down to this day, there is no reserve price, and there is no limit to the price increase!" the auctioneer quickly announced.
Seeing that copybook, Zou Gaoyi was overjoyed, his father loved calligraphy and painting, Tang Bohu's painting missed the opportunity, this time Wang Xizhi's words can't be missed.
Just when he was about to shout, he was stopped by Zheng Qian again.
"Why?" Zou Gaoyi's face was a little displeased.
Zheng Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, he can't say that this character is fake, right? He has Wang Xizhi's inheritance, just when he was showing the calligraphy, he just saw it at a glance, but this is the highest charity auction party in Longling City, if he says it rashly, I don't know how much of a sensation it will cause!
"Just look at it!" Zheng Qian responded, although Zou Gaoyi was unhappy in his heart, he still obeyed Zheng Gan's meaning.
Wang Xizhi's fame is probably heard of by three-year-old children, and this round of bidding is also extremely fierce, and it will soon reach 20 million US dollars.
But there are still a lot of people who increase the price later.
"Twenty-eight million!" Wei Ze said, standing up.
But as soon as his words fell, a middle-aged man sitting in the front row held up a sign and said, "Thirty-four million!"
"Wow...... That's a $6 million increase all at once, who is that person?"
"You don't know this, that's Xu Yaohui, the head of the Xu family, the entire Longling City, that's a top-notch existence, compared to the Wei family and the Zou family, it can only rank second-rate families!"
"It seems that this time the Xu family also attaches great importance to this Wang Xizhi's words, I don't know if the Wei family still has to give face like before!"
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Zheng Qian also glanced at the people of the Xu family in front of him, sitting next to Xu Yaohui was the back of a woman with a ponytail, Zheng Qian had a sense of déjà vu, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know anyone in Longling City.
"Thirty-eight million!" Wei continued.
The crowd boiled again, this Wei family really made a bloody investment, and even the Xu family didn't give face.
When the words fell, the people of the Xu family were also stunned, Xu Yaohui turned his head to look at Wei Ze, and the girl sitting next to him also happened to turn around, Zheng Qian recognized it at once, "Xu Hanxue!"
The girl he rescued from the sachet trafficker turned out to be someone from the Xu family!
It's just that Zheng Qian leaned on Zou Gaoyi, and Xu Yaohui's eyes fell on Wei Ze, and Xu Hanxue didn't notice Zheng Qian.
Zheng Qian glanced at Wei Ze out of the corner of his eyes, but said with a sneer in his heart: "Since you are so rich, anyway, this is to contribute to charity, why don't I help you!"
