Chapter 941 Looks Easy
"Hey, hey, hey...... At first glance, you don't shoot very much, and you like to make a whole number, which is not good. I suggest changing it to the number 3580, and the agent is up to me, and it is not often that such a large target is made, and I am also beautiful once. David Yang almost said directly that Hong Tao is a mallet, and it always makes people happy to crush people with knowledge and insight.
"If you knew what I'm going to do with this, I don't think I'm going to rush to be a surrogate. Soon it will appear in museums in the country, which can be regarded as a gratuitous donation from patriotic businessmen. You also want to put on a red hat and open the chain store in the mainland?"
For the sake of being a master for himself and being friends with his father-in-law, Hong Tao resisted the idea of pitting him. Don't look at the fact that Hong Kong has been returned for nearly ten years, everyone shouts on the surface to support this and that, but in fact, a large number of upper-class people are very taboo to be popular businessmen. Once you are seen as that kind of person, everyone will start to avoid you more or less.
It's not that it's completely isolated, it's that feeling of inexplicability. When you make money, people will still hold you, but they will never have a deep friendship with you. Once you are in trouble, the one who can push it must not pull you.
ββ¦β¦ Belch...... I would recommend a more suitable candidate, Miss Yang's family has opened a lot of factories in the mainland, and she should be happy to help. I'll help you ask first, and I'll see you later. β
Sure enough, after listening to Hong Tao's explanation, David Yang choked on his throat with something, and the smug touch just now immediately disappeared, and his expression was very embarrassing. After stammering a few times, he chose to retreat, and then left Hongtao like a plague.
"Thomas, what kind of people do you say you have befriended, all of them have the same virtue as you!" Watching David Yang disappear into the crowd, Hong Tao pouted, this is also a master who cherishes feathers. It's okay to eat, drink and have fun, I don't want to get involved in the slightest trouble, and I pretend to be a grandson more neatly than anyone else. What a backbone, they don't have this word in their life dictionary at all.
At nineteen o'clock, as the main donor, Jeddah first took the stage to give a brief speech, and at the same time played a United Nations investigation report on infant malignant tumors, and then the auction officially began.
Hong Tao was still wearing a headscarf and pretending to be Jeddah's entourage, but instead of going to the first row to sit, he shrunk in the back row alone. Originally, he wanted to talk to David Yang about cigars again, but unfortunately that guy was more thief than Thomas, and he was sandwiched between the two of them early, and he didn't give himself a chance to get too close at all.
Dutch auctions are boring, with a room full of people staring at the auction clock on the stage like fools and listening to the auctioneer's well-written English bids. As soon as the pointer stopped, he quickly applauded and congratulated a certain second-hand person for his generosity and love for all mankind.
Hong Tao really didn't understand how these people would come here to participate in this kind of, and they didn't plan to buy anything, is it really so important to show up?
After enduring for nearly an hour, it was finally time to reach the horse's head, in order to suppress the tension in his heart, Hong Tao simply took out the remaining half of the cigar he had just smoked and put it in his mouth, so as not to be able to help scolding.
This move made a woman beside her who was still affectionate immediately frowned, she may have come over because she fell in love with Hong Tao's outfit, but she didn't expect this to be a person who couldn't even give up half a cigar, and there was no hope.
"......" Hong Tao didn't notice the reaction of the beauties around him at all, he had been doing visual communication with David Yang sitting on the left side, until the auction bell stopped, and he was still winking at David Yang, meaning to ask him if he had bought it.
"......" But the first thing that caught my eye was not David Yang bowing slightly, but two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes stood up from the rows in front of them and walked out with serious expressions.
I don't know why, Hong Tao always felt that these two people didn't look like they were here to participate in the auction, so he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the direction where Jeddah was sitting. It just so happened that Jeddah also turned his head and looked at each other, and everything was silent.
These two are probably commissioners with official backgrounds, Hong Tao turned his head again, and the two of them happened to pass behind him, and one of them had his eyes swept over his face, but he suddenly paused for a second, and his eyes were facing each other, and everything was silent.
Judging from the expression on his face, Hong Tao felt that the other party obviously recognized him, or felt very similar. If you don't wear makeup on your face, it doesn't seem to be useful to just wear a headscarf.
I don't know for what purpose, Hong Tao actually grinned at the other party. At the end of the day, he didn't just stare but frowned. This smile is so representative, the Oscar for Best Actor can't play the essence of it, and it is really 100% consistent with the appearance on newspapers and television, like a fake.
"They seem to recognize me......" In fact, Hong Tao regretted it the moment he grinned, isn't this a deliberate search. Jeddah has her arrangement, and she will be over by waiting honestly, so why bother to show her prestige, and make Jeddah's future communication more difficult for no reason.
But I knew in my heart that this face no longer seemed to listen to the command of the brain, not only laughing, but tilting its mouth to the side. This expression Hong Tao doesn't need to look in the mirror to know what virtue is, full of mockery, disdain and coldness, more hatred than the courage and roar of a warrior. I can't count the conflicts that I caused because of such a smile when I was in school.
"You accompany Miss Kruger to the banquet hall first, and I'll look for you later. Jeddah didn't see Hong Tao's sneer, she brought Hong Tao here was also planned, and it was not easy to open her mouth without showing her face. Hong Tao and Diane can't help with the following things, it's time for her to play.
Why would everyone come to such a boring auction? The answer lies in the ballroom. The number of people here is several times more than the number of people attending the auction, and Hong Tao does not know who it is. But he can be sure that no ordinary person, no one, is cheaper than a Santana.
At this time, they were chatting together in groups of three or five, with various contents. There are those who introduce each other's children, those who discuss the stock market and the housing market with each other, and those who gang up to compete with each other.
The bargain auction is just a faΓ§ade, and the cocktail party after that is the main event. It's a social occasion and a social reason. People who don't usually get together casually can talk face-to-face for this reason. It is very useful for businessmen, politicians and ladies.
"Don't introduce me again, in the future, you are outside my lord, I am in the lord, I still don't come to this kind of occasion less, the fewer people who know me, the happier I am. I'll go find some pocket money, and you can talk to them yourself. β
Diane seems to have participated in this kind of activity a lot, and she is easy to deal with, but it is a little difficult to introduce Hong Tao, and she can only be said to be a friend in the mainland. Hong Tao had something in his heart, and he didn't want to grin and shake hands with Diane.
Just saw David Yang and Yang Wei standing on the edge of the balcony chatting with two white men, and a mischievous script took shape in an instant. Calculate that I haven't bet with anyone for a long time, and I just spent tens of millions, whether it's Jeddah's money or my own money, I will panic if I don't make up for it.
"Miss Yang, you are much more charming than the last time I saw you. I started to think that it might be because of the lighting and costumes, but when I looked closer, I realized that it was wrong, and it turned out that you no longer needed the costume. β
David Yang saw Hong Tao coming over with half a cigar in his mouth and grinned, but he couldn't hide, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on. However, Hong Tao didn't pay attention to him first, but sprayed at Yang Wei.
This woman was tougher than Diane, drinking spirits and smoking cigars the first time they met. Heavy taste, understatement will definitely not satisfy her, add more salt and pepper.
"Giggle...... Master Hong is not afraid that Diane will break your waist if she praises women like this?" Yang Wei was indeed bold, her smile was extraordinarily crisp, and the ups and downs of her chest almost didn't stretch the low-cut dress.
"To be honest, I deserve to be rewarded, David, is that the truth? I don't quite know Miss Yang's preferences, so I can't express my gratitude for the help just now. You can just tell me the truth and let me return the favor. It is dangerous to owe a woman, and it is even more dangerous to owe a beautiful woman. Yang Wei helped herself take a picture of the horse's head, although she didn't have to pay for it, this is also a favor, not to mention it, it must be mentioned to be appropriate.
