"Two-thirds! This is too exaggerated!" Zhang Tianyuan was shocked, although Hong Kong is not big, but after all, it was a world-class financial center in the past, and two-thirds of the land actually belongs to Sir Tomaru's family, or has some kind of relationship with his family.

"It's not an exaggeration at all, that's the case in Hong Kong at the beginning! It's just that many people don't know it. Liu Mengxun said with certainty.

"What about now, it's not that exaggerated now, is it?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"The Tom Maru family made a mistake in judgment, they mistakenly believed that once Hong Kong returned to the motherland, the mainland would take back their land, so on the eve of the handover, the family sold a large amount of land in their hands and transferred the capital to the United Kingdom. By now, their family only owns shares in some companies in Hong Kong, and it is not as powerful as in the past. But even in the company of the richest man Li, Tom Maru has the right to speak. Liu Mengxun introduced.

"It sounds like a good thing, but it doesn't hurt to see a lot of big people like this. "Zhang Tianyuan has always been very keen on making friends, firstly, he can have more access to collectibles, and secondly, he can also match his own business development, anyway, it will definitely not hurt."

Some people say that foreign countries are not a network society, and it is useless if you know a lot of people. In fact, as long as it is a human being, it can't escape this hurdle, otherwise there will be no family companies abroad, in the final analysis. It's more convenient and more appropriate to do things by yourself.

"If you want Sir Thomas to help you with your business, you have to have a very good relationship with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with it. Because he has withdrawn from business, his career in England is also taken care of by his children and grandchildren, he has been committed to charity since a long time ago, focusing on doing what he wants to do, if you want to have a good relationship with him, I think it is more appropriate to put more effort into charity. Of course, Liu Mengxun understood Zhang Tianyuan's thoughts. If she didn't know Zhang Tianyuan, she wouldn't be on good terms with Zhang Tianyuan, don't look at Liu Mengxun as if she followed Zhang Tianyuan because of infatuation. In fact, she is also carefully screened, knowing that women are always much more attentive than men.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "This is natural, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to ask him to do anything now, just make a good relationship first." ”

It's just that he still has some worries in his heart. Although he is now considered a rich man. But compared with this Sir Tomaru, as well as those upper-class people and top rich people, he can only be regarded as a poor bastard.

When can I consider a place like Hong Kong as my own backyard, then it can be compared with a tenth of Sir Thomas Margaret's family, after all, most of the family's business is still in Europe, and Hong Kong is just one of them.

It just so happened that Zhang Tianyuan seemed to lack some motivation to make money recently, thinking that he had enough money, and now he has been stimulated by this. It's also a renewed motivation, but you can't just feel at ease like this. I'm still young, and it's not okay to be so dull all the time.

Even if you don't talk about Sir Tomaru's family, just talking about the richest man in Hong Kong, as well as some symbols of Hong Kong, including the mainland, are incomparable. Even if the assets of the Liu family are more than ten or twenty times their own, compared to them, they are really a fart.

Are billions a lot?

Is tens of billions a lot?

If it's in dollars or pounds, it might be a lot, but if it's RMB, then don't say anything, it's really nothing. What's more, the friends invited by Tom Maru, who are either rich and rich, or business tycoons, are really at the right time to go to the charity auction this time, so that they can have a good look at the world and see how people in high society communicate.

"Now you know why I asked you if you had any money, right? The things at that charity auction aren't cheap, and it's not something you often pick up. Liu Mengxun saw Zhang Tianyuan pondering, thinking that Zhang Tianyuan was a little jealous, and couldn't help but say.

After all, Liu Mengxun and Zhang Tianyuan haven't seen each other for a few months, and she really doesn't know what kind of Cheng Cheng Zhang Tianyuan is now. As far as her gaze a few months ago is concerned, Zhang Tianyuan can only barely join the ranks of the rich, this kind of people who live in the countryside are generally more introverted, especially when they enter the big city, and they suddenly feel as if their inferiority complex has been born.

Zhang Tianyuan waved his hand and said: "There is money, no matter how expensive the things they auction are, they will not exceed 5 billion or tens of billions, right? I was thinking that people like me have never entered the upper class, especially those in Hong Kong, who are used to the Western way of life, and I may be out of place if I go." ”

Liu Mengxun said: "This is nothing, you just need to be ordinary, the more upper-class people are, the less they care too much about those red tapes, but the so-called nobles and so-called celebrities who don't make a sound and half a bottle swaying, take these very seriously, so naturally." ”

"You're not comforting me, are you?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"How so, it's really like this. In fact, the truth in many martial arts novels is too correct, the more people who have reached a certain level of martial arts, the less likely they will be to show off. Liu Mengxun gave an example of Zhang Tianyuan that is most understandable.

"Alright then, I see. This problem is solved, and I would like to ask what is in this charity auction, so I can prepare a little bit, so as not to go and not understand anything. Zhang Tianyuan has never been stingy with the time to prepare, because he understands that it is far better to prepare early than to panic at that time.

After all, a charity auction is not a dedicated antique and antique auction, there may be antiques and antiques, and there are also some things that are very memorable, but not of much value in themselves. For example, you can say a signed photo of a celebrity, a movie poster from the old Hong Kong era, or even a celebrity's clothes, or of course, some modern jewelry or gemstones.

Charity auctions differ from public auctions in normal times, with wine and meat. Singing and dancing are leveling, and love is high. The laws that need to be followed in ordinary auctions and the laws of the auction venue can even be ignored by charity auctions. This includes the number of bids that comply with the regulations, so there are more chips that affect the final auction result.

It stands to reason that charity auctions would have been a good thing. But now, charity auctions have almost become a stage for many people to blend in with high society, reflect their personal values, and even promote themselves. Nowadays, many people participate in charity auctions and don't care whether what they are auctioning is worth a lot or not. What are they doing with this money, they just want to compare and become famous, and they take it out and shoot it themselves. The more you get on the table, the better, and the more expensive it is, the more you feel that you have face. And the more money you pay for taking a picture, the more enjoyable you feel. Anyway, there are reporters who report it. They are not afraid that they will not be famous.

Because of this, some people simply took the things they bought from other regular auction houses to the charity auction and re-auctioned them, and made up a very touching story, which was like "The Voice of XX".

Because of this, there are all kinds of things at charity auctions nowadays that are expensive and expensive. From jewellery and gemstones, to antiques, and even commercial land, these things will be put up for auction.

Hong Kong has developed very well in the past. Although the place is not large, it is a world-class financial center. If you don't count the area, it's definitely a big city, and because of that, there are so many charities here, even in the whole world, it's definitely one of the best. After all, when Hong Kong had not yet returned to the motherland, it was the link and window between the mainland and the world, and many wealthy people from the mainland would also come here to do charity, while foreign institutions would also choose Hong Kong to do charity auctions, so that mainlanders could participate in it.

Although many people say that the charities here have a strict regulatory system, fooling the whole people to participate in the enthusiastic donations, and even fooling the mainland people to do charity together. But in fact, it is not so good, those so-called regulatory systems, in fact, if you think about it carefully, are still full of loopholes, and computers will have bugs, not to mention people.

Of course, on the surface, Hong Kong's charity must be done well in the mainland, after all, many of their regulations are written on paper, including donations launched by TV stations and some charities, most people will actively participate, and they don't want the mainland to be so opaque, and many things always make people feel tired, which is why Guo almost collapsed a charity.

In the past, when Hong Kong had not yet returned to the motherland, the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong was even better. At that time, Hong Kong was in trouble, and many donations from the mainland were transferred to Hong Kong through some charitable foundations, charities, and even charity auctions in Hong Kong. In the same way, when natural disasters occurred in the mainland, these institutions also played a great role in donating money to people in the disaster area, but I don't know what happened recently, and the relationship between the people of the mainland and Hong Kong, judging from the situation on the Internet, is really getting worse and worse.

Zhang Tianyuan has no concept of this kind of charity auction, after all, he has only been rich for a long time, and he has not participated in this kind of charity auction, he used to donate money to Jinzhou Province when he was in school, but it seems to be completely different from this, and because of this, he is a little bottomless in his heart.

Liu Mengxun has always been very much in favor of this kind of charity auction, especially this kind of small auction organized by well-known people, which will not invite reporters, let alone TV people, the purpose is very simple, everyone eats and drinks while completing the charity auction. Unlike those large charity auctions, which always feel like a show, in fact, there are not as many charity funds raised by such small auctions.

As for saying that the descendants of the super-rich use jewelry and antiques as auctions to compare with each other, she does not object at all, but supports it very much. These people don't know how to appreciate it, so it's better to sell it to people who know how to do it, and use the money for charity, so why not do it? It's much better than letting some people take it and sell it and spend all their time drinking.

It is precisely because most of the money obtained from these things is used for charity, although there is a bad situation of the rich fighting for wealth, but Liu Mengxun does not feel that there is anything wrong, people use money for charity, just a little vanity, this is not allowed? No one is a saint, how can it be possible to do the thing that the Buddha cut meat and fed the eagle.

What's more, this time the Liu family also took out a thing as a lot, and all the funds after the auction will be used for charity, and the author of this lot is none other than Zhang Tianyuan......!
