At 8 p.m., the auction for the Graham Charity Gala began, and on the other side of the meadow, hundreds of chairs had been placed.

There was no specification on which chair would sit in such an auction, so Xu Qing found a seat in the back row, with Eben sitting on his right hand and Carlyle on the grass.

An old man with silver hair walked up to the auction table, picked up a mallet and knocked on the table, and said with a full sense of anger:

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the annual Graham Charity Gala, you should all eat, drink and have a good time.

Who has an opinion on what I have to say, hey, Brooke, do you have an opinion?

Just now I saw 3 big beauties around you, oh, kindly remind you, you still have a little heartbreak on your lips.

Well, thank you all for listening to my nonsense, and then move on to the last part of the evening, the auction.

I won't say much about the rules, but it's the old rule, Mr. Nelson will donate 10 times the total amount of the auction. ”

The silver-haired old man walked to the side, and a hostess walked to the stage with a tray.

"Who is this silver-haired old man?" asked Xu Qing to the side.

"This silver-haired old man's name is Charles, and he is Mr. Nelson's butler. Eben replied.

Xu Qing nodded, what kind of master there is, what kind of housekeeper, Charles's way of speaking is very similar to Nelson, they are all very interesting old men.

Charles pointed to the items on the tray and said: "First of all, thank you Mr. Thomas for providing this item, this is an oil painting, Mr. Thomas said that it took him more than 3 months to paint this painting, let's enjoy this painting first." ”

The hostess walked around the stage with the tray in her hand, and then returned to her original position.

Charles then said: "I doubt that Mr. Thomas said that more than three months, because his day is likely to be to sleep until 10 a.m., eat breakfast, and watch TV.

Oh, it's lunchtime, and after lunch, take a nap, wake up at 4 p.m., swim in the pool of his luxurious villa for half an hour, get dressed and go to the party.

When the party was over, I went back to the villa and got ready to go to bed, and suddenly I found that I still had to paint, so I got up and drew for ten minutes, and then went to sleep, Mr. Thomas, am I right?"

Charles smiled and looked at the middle-aged man with a good temperament in the audience.

"Mr. Charles is absolutely right, and I doubt now that you have sent someone to follow me 24 hours a day. Thomas exclaimed.

The rest of the audience applauded Charles and Thomas's interaction, which was a must-have part of Gramm's auction.

Every year, Charles teases the owner of the first lot.

"But it's a good painting, just a little worse than me, with a starting price of $100. Charles ended his interaction with Thomas and tapped the gavel.

The guests in the audience were also very face-saving, and as soon as Charles finished speaking, someone immediately made a bid, and then more and more people bid.

Xu Qing looked at the scene just now and felt very interesting.

The items in the Gramm's auction are provided by the guests themselves, and they are not too precious items, as these items are basically made by the guests themselves.

For example, some guests made their own paintings, handicrafts, ceramics and so on.

This is a great way to auction the auction, and if you use donations from guests, or if the organizers of the charity gala provide valuable items and then the guests auction them, it is inevitable that there will be comparisons.

A few times, fewer and fewer guests will attend, and unless the organizer is always a powerful person or institution, not many guests are willing to spend a lot of money on a regular basis.

Xu Qing also provided an auction item, but it was not a physical item, but a promise.

The auction continued, and some items of interest to Xu Qing also appeared, and two pieces were auctioned for several thousand dollars.

The auction order of Xu Qing's auction items is the third from the bottom, and when it is almost 9 o'clock, Xu Qing's auction items appear.

"Everyone has seen that there is no hostess on this stage except me, because the next auction item is a bit special, it is not a physical item.

The provider of the auction is Mr. Xu, some of you may not know him, he is also the first time to participate in the Graham Charity Gala, let me introduce you to him.

Xu Qing, a handsome young man who has just turned 18 years old, is the heir of the Xu family, a famous wealthy Chinese family, and wrote a popular book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" a few months ago.

This book should be read or heard by many people, it is a very good book, and I recommend you to read it if you haven't read it.

Now his manuscript fee should be about 100 million US dollars, so I don't need to say more about how powerful Xu Qing is.

Now I reveal Xu Qing's auction item, and it is a promise, and Xu Qing promises to provide a film script.

Xu Qing had a request, he wanted to cooperate with the film company that filmed the script, and the starting price was $1,000. ”

Charles said this long paragraph in a gloomy manner, but the result was beyond his expectations, because no one in the audience bidd, and the scene was cold.

People who didn't know Xu Qing heard these words from Charles and thought that Xu Qing was an ignorant person.

Hollywood studios receive countless scripts every day, and the vast majority of them are thrown in the trash without reading them, and only scripts written by well-known screenwriters can enter their eyes.

They didn't know Xu Qing at all, and Xu Qing also asked to cooperate with the film company that made the script, how could they make this script.

People who knew Xu Qing shook their heads slightly when they heard Charles's words, they wanted the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

doesn't mean that they want the script written by Xu Qing, the novel and the script have a lot in common and have many differences, and they are not optimistic about the script written by Xu Qing.

And just now Xu Qing refused to sell the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and they were a little annoyed, so they couldn't make this script.

Charles had to come out and say, "You may not understand the value of this promise, Xu Qing is a top best-selling author in the United States."

The film copyright of his work "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is wanted by many film companies, and the film companies on the scene should have heard that Xu Qing came to the party to attend the party.

Now Xu Qing is willing to provide a high-quality film script, which is a very rare opportunity. ”

Xu Qing looked at the reactions of the guests, and suddenly felt that he was too arrogant.

The promise of providing a film script was finally decided by Xu Qing as an auction item after many considerations.

Xu Qing's Sunlight Film and Television Company will cooperate with the film company that filmed the movie script, and the Sunlight Film and Television Company will contribute some money, and the film company will also contribute some money and be responsible for producing the movie.

The advantage of this is that Sunlight Film and Television can quickly make a name for itself in Hollywood, because the film script provided by Xu Qing has a super high rate of return.

But the current situation made Xu Qing very embarrassed, and no one made a bid.

If the auction fails in the end, Xu Qing feels that he should find a crack in the ground to get into.
