At 7 p.m., the Brown Gala began, and the process was similar to that of the Graham Charity Gala, which revolved around a charity auction.

Most of the items in the auction were provided by Brown, and some were donated by guests.

Brown provides the auction items, the guests pay for them, and in the end, who really pays for charity?

Xu Qing spent $300,000 to buy a Chinese blue and white porcelain bowl, and now the auction value of Huaxia porcelain is far less than that of later generations, which is relatively reasonable.

In later generations, the auction prices of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars were too high.

It's not that Xu Qing doesn't want to spend more money on auction items, but most of the items in the Brown Charity Auction are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, some tens of thousands of dollars, and very few millions of dollars.

This is also normal, although the guests present at the party are worth at least millions of dollars and billionaires, but few people are willing to spend millions of dollars on the auction items.

The value of the lots is not large, but quite a lot, about 40,50 pieces, the average price is around $200,000, and the total value of all the lots is almost $10 million.

Brown would then donate three times the total auction price, or about $30 million, to charity.

The auction ended at 8:30 a.m., followed by a cocktail reception in the name of Brown's thanks to the guests for coming to the charity gala.

In fact, it is to provide a place for guests to expand their network, and most guests come to the Brown Charity Gala to expand their network.

It's not just the Brown Charity Gala, it's the same with other charity galas.

The reception ended at 10 p.m., and the guests dispersed one after another.

Xu Qing and Sophia sat on the sofa and waited for Brown.

A few minutes later, Brown came to the sofa and apologized: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I delayed a little time to send the guests just now, and I made you wait for a long time." ”

Xu Qing was surprised by Brown's politeness, whether it was when they first met, or now, Brown was very polite.

Even if this politeness is faked, Brown's politeness is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Xu Qing.

If you don't care about one, you're probably not even willing to do a polite courtesy.

What's more, Xu Qing felt that Brown's politeness was real, and if it wasn't true, it was that Brown was too deep.

"It's okay, you're the host of the party, and it's the right thing to do to send off guests. Xu Qingdao said.

Brown took a document from the housekeeper's hand, handed it to Xu Qing, and said, "I hope Mr. Xu can take a good look at this document, and then don't make a decision in a hurry, and it will be no problem to reply to me within a month." ”

Xu Qing took the document and glanced at the cover, there was nothing just a pure white paper.

"Okay, I'll take a hard look at this document. Xu Qing nodded.

"Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, here is my business card. Brown pulled out a gold-colored business card.

Xu Qing took a look, it was pure gold again, so far, Xu Qing has received many pure gold business cards.

Brown's golden business card is very delicately crafted and does not give the impression of an upstart.

Xu Qing also gave Brown his own business card, Brown took it, good guy, it is also a golden business card, Brown looked up at Xu Qing, Xu Qing smiled.

Leaving Brown's villa, Xu Qing flipped through the documents Brown gave him in the car, the content was no more, no less, 10 pages of A4 paper.

Xu Qing looked at the document seriously, his brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, and after reading it, Xu Qing closed the document.

This document can be summed up in one sentence: Brown wants to do business with Xu Qing.

Brown has a television station called Voice of California, which is a regional television station based on its name, and its audience is mainly concentrated in California.

Brown is very optimistic about Sunlight Film and Television Company, and wants to ask Sunlight Film and Television to create a few TV series and variety shows to broadcast on his TV station.

As a condition, Brown was willing to give Xu Qing 25% of the TV's shares.

Xu Qing has heard of the TV station Voice of California, and has also watched their programs, and his impression is very average.

Xu Qing didn't know the value of Voice of California, so he didn't know how much the 25% stake was worth.

However, Xu Qing really needs a TV station, and the Sunlight Group now has three media channels: newspapers, magazines, and the Internet, but there is no TV channel yet.

Today's TV stations are still the most influential media channels, and even if Internet media rises in later generations, their influence is still great.

Owning a TV station means that you have a part of public opinion and it is more convenient to do a lot of things.

Xu Qing of the national TV station does not have to think about it now, first of all, he can't afford it, and every national TV station is worth at least tens of billions of dollars.

There is a more important reason, it is difficult to buy, and now the national television stations in the United States are living well, and no television station will go bankrupt for a while.

Even if it goes bankrupt, it will attract a lot of giant competition, and with Xu Qing's strength, there is no competition at all, and it is unlikely that the American government will allow Xu Qing to have a national television station.

Therefore, Xu Qing can only start with a new regional TV station, and then slowly plot to find the right time to see if it can develop into a national TV station.

This was Xu Qing's previous idea, and now that Xu Qing has the opportunity to own a 25% stake in the Voice of California, it may be a good opportunity for him.

However, Xu Qing first had to take a look at the situation of the Voice of California, and he couldn't hurriedly agree.

Xu Qing called Eben and asked him to find out what was going on with the Voice of California, who was in another car.

Back at the villa, Xu Qing took a shower and went to bed after paying the public food, I have to say that in that regard, white women have a natural advantage, they need it every day, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong.

Fortunately, Xu Qing had the benefits brought by crossing and regular exercise, so he was able to resist Sophia's attack and keep her down.

Eben searched for information quickly, and the next afternoon, Eben took the relevant information of the Voice of California to Xu Qing.

According to the data found by Eben, the Voice of California has been in existence for more than 40 years, which is not as good as the history of those national television stations, but it is not short in the history of regional television stations.

At present, the Voice of California has been losing money for many years, and the losses have been more serious in recent years, especially last year's loss set a record for the loss of the Voice of California, reaching more than $19 million.

And the total loss over the years has reached more than 58 million US dollars, and it is strange that a regional TV station has lost so much.

Usually, regional TV stations generally make small profits, even if they lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, at most millions of dollars, and it is very rare for a TV station like the Voice of California to lose an average of nearly 10 million dollars a year.

It's no wonder that Brown would use a 25% stake in the Voice of California as a condition to ask Sunlight Film and Television to create TV series and variety shows, hoping to make the Voice of California reverse its losses through these methods.

Xu Qing looked at the reason for the loss again, and was speechless.
