Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Golden Cicada
The elegant man said: My name is Lin Huaqiang, Phoenix Film and Television is my company, you should have heard of it!
Ang Lee said with a smile: I know, Phoenix Film and Television, the first film and television company on Hong Kong Island, the company was founded 30 years ago, has produced countless classic movies, and is the only film and television company on Hong Kong Island that can still distribute all of Asia when Hong Kong films are in decline, basically it can be said that people around 30 years old in Asia have grown up watching Phoenix Film and Television movies, including me!
Lin Huaqiang nodded and said with a proud look: Since we are all people in the film and television industry, let's use movies to speak! I know that you have just finished making a movie, claiming to have broken one billion at the box office, and you plan to release it in the summer, and my company also happens to have a movie called "Weilong Detective" I will also release it in the summer, but I don't dare to say that the box office can exceed one billion, so we will compete at the box office of the movie, bet on 100 million, and the one with the highest box office wins, how about it, dare not bet.
After listening to what he said, Li An felt that there were two small hands behind him tugging at his clothes, turned his head and gave the two women a reassuring look, and summed it up in his heart, just this summer file is really a crowd of heroes competing on the bright side, there are only two nonsensical and two action movies, fortunately, there is no love movie that competes with him, so he said: It's okay to bet, but if you want to bet, you can bet on a billion, and 100 million can't be on the table in our mainland.
Lin Huaqiang's face changed and said: I'm talking about US dollars.
After hearing this, Ang Lee continued: I'm also talking about US dollars, don't compete in language, you just say whether you dare to gamble.
Lin Huaqiang thought for a while, and said with a smile: Young man, you are still too tender, you think that you can scare me away by talking about more money, don't you know that the people of Xiangjiang are gamblers? But you seem to have been kicked out of the house, can you come up with a billion dollars?
At this time, An Mingxin walked out from behind and said: No problem, An Shi will vouch for him, if he doesn't come out, An Shi will come out, you will say dare or not.
Lin Huaqiang's face changed and said: Okay, I bet with you, but there has to be a witness to this matter, so let's say that there is no evidence, you let your family come over!
I'm here to vouch for you. At this time, an old voice came from behind, and when I turned my head, I saw a group of celebrities in Xiangjiang surrounded by an old man with thin eyes and a thin figure coming over, this old man was Zeng Xiangji, the chief executive of the mainland in Xiangjiang.
Zeng Lao has been committed to the harmonious relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland for half of his life, and has made great contributions to Hong Kong, so he has a high status in Hong Kong.
Zeng Lao, Zeng Lao, Zeng Lao, and everyone present after Zeng Lao came over, including Ang Lee, all bowed and saluted.
Zeng Xiangji waved his hand and said: Xiangjiang has never had such a big gambling contract, or you young people have courage!
Lin Huaqiang felt unhappy for a while, he didn't come out when he beat people, I just forced them to rush and started to make mistakes, you came out, isn't this a clear platform for them? You are the chief executive, Xiangjiang is the biggest for you, can I say no? Then he said respectfully: It is really our honor to have Zeng Lao's guarantee.
Hearing Lin Huaqiang's words, Zeng Xiangji looked at Li An again and asked, "Young man, what do you think?"
Li An said respectfully: No problem, we mainlanders are not afraid of any challenges.
Zeng Xiangji listened to Li An laugh and said: Okay, boy, I watched the video at noon today, don't lose the face of the Chinese when you go out, then this matter is so decided, the auction is about to start, wait for the detailed chat, all disperse!
After speaking, Zeng Lao took a group of celebrities to their respective private rooms, Lin Huaqiang also took Lin Jianhai away, and Ang Lee did it with An Mingxin and Guo Aimei.
As soon as she sat down, Guo Aimei said in the tone of a little fan girl: Brother Li, you were so manly just now, I like you so much! Do you have a girlfriend?
Li An smiled and said, "You are also very cute! My brother already has a girlfriend."
Guo Aimei pursed her lips for a lifetime and said: Brother Li, do you know the background of the Lin family?
Li An shook his head and said: I don't know, anyway, there is no Hong Kong Governor, if you offend, you will be offended, and you will be offended.
Guo Aimei said: Before Xiangjiang did not return, the Lin family was the largest underworld leader in Xiangjiang, and its momentum was comparable to that of the top ten consortia, but after the return of Xiangjiang, all the underworld in Xiangjiang was dissolved, and the Lin family's momentum was not as good as before, so the people of the Lin family hated the mainland very much and looked down on the mainland.
Li An nodded and said: After this year's summer vacation, the Lin family's momentum will be even smaller.
When Guo Aimei still wanted to speak, the auctioneer walked up to the stage, looked at the crowd full of work, and the auctioneer said: Thank you for coming, thank you for being able to give your love to the children in Xiangjiang who can't afford to go to school, thank you.
Li An saw that the auctioneer was still a big beauty, wearing a cheongsam, with a delicate figure, very beautiful, and asked Guo Aimei in a low voice: Is this the auctioneer? Why are you so young!
Guo Aimei smiled, as if she had discovered some little secret, and said with a smile: You want to say that she is very beautiful and wants her phone! You invite me to dinner after the auction, and I will give you her phone.
Ang Lee said: I just don't feel like I've seen such a young and beautiful auctioneer, in my impression the auctioneer has a hairstyle with eyes that surrounds the city, but it feels strange and doesn't want her phone.
Guo Aimei said: That woman's name is Liu Ying, this auction is her family, she has been hosting the auction since she was a teenager, which is quite powerful, but there is no hope if you want to chase her, because she has already married the Ma family on Hong Kong Island and will get married next year.
Li An rolled his eyes and said: "People are big ghosts, am I that kind of person?" Okay, the auction has begun, let's take a serious look!
At this time, the waiter brought the first piece of the collection.
Liu Ying opened the red cloth on the plate and said: A knife coin from the Warring States Period, the market of ancient coins is quite hot now, the starting price is 200,000, and the price increase cannot be less than 20,000 yuan each time, you can make a bid.
In the end, the coin was bought by a wealthy middle-aged merchant for 800,000 yuan.
Ang Lee sat in the back, and after 5 collections in a row, Ang Lee did not shout the price.
An Mingxin asked: What exactly do you want to buy?
Li An whispered: Buy something for birthday celebrations!
An Mingxin said "birthday wishes" suspiciously, and did not ask in detail.
The sixth collection is donated by Donald, it is a treasure, Liu Ying said after saying that he untied the red cloth on the plate with his hand and said: This is an ivory carved cicada, the cicada symbolizes resurrection and eternal life, and the texture of this ivory is delicate, the color is pure, and the carving is also exquisite, it is really a rare treasure, the starting price of 5 million each increase can not be less than 100,000, start.
5.5 million. 5.8 million. 6 million. At this time, Li An raised the bidding sign in his hand and shouted: 10 million people turned their heads and drove to the point that Li Ang shouted, and they were all bidding anymore, after all, no one wants to provoke this mallet because of a thing, and it is also a mallet that the chief executive appreciates.
12 million, Lin Jianhai was not happy with Li An's shouting, he had to be disgusting, and after shouting, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Li An, with a provocative expression.
Li An then raised the sign and shouted: 20 million let me leak a pair to Lin Jianhai, Lao Tzu has money, and if you have the ability, you will follow.
Guo Aimei pulled Li An's arm and whispered: Brother Li, you shouted high, this thing is too small, it is worth about 12 million at most.
Looking at this little sister Li An, she said with a smile: Money is something outside the body, the important thing is that I like it.
Lin Jianhai hesitated and looked at Lin Huaqiang, but Lin Huaqiang closed his eyes, and Lin Jianhai hesitated but still didn't speak.
Liu Ying said on the stage: Is this gentleman's bid of 20 million higher? This treasure has a very high collection value. 20 million once, 20 million twice.
20 million three times. Congratulations to Mr. Lee.
said congratulations, but his eyes were like looking at the eyes of an upstart. Li An smiled indifferently, Xiangjiang people use money as a benchmark for everything, but they don't know that money is difficult to buy and I like it! After a while, the waiter sent the items over, Li An played with the golden cicada, took out his bank card and said: I like things more when I see them, anyway, I am contributing to the poor children of Xiangjiang, and I will brush 30 million! Just take it as a little heart of my compatriots on the mainland.
Zeng Xiangji, who was sitting in the private room, watched Ang Li's actions and nodded with satisfaction.
When the waiter heard Li An's words, he looked at Liu Ying hesitantly, and Liu Ying said with a smile: Give Li Gongzi 30 million, and I thank Li Gongzi on behalf of the poor children in Xiangjiang.
Li An said: You're welcome, everyone is Chinese, and it should be.
