Time flew by, and the members of the Yang family began to act this morning, and Yang Yong brought his wife Anna to Savannah Town. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Hop aboard a plane and fly straight to Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, before staying at the Presidential Suite, a strategic partner of the Young family, the Hilton Hotel, and the entourage includes Scott, the assistant butler who takes care of everything, and two attendants who carry it with him.
Because it takes more than two hours to fly from Savannah Town to Atlanta, it is definitely not a rush to leave in the afternoon, so the members of the Yang family came to the Hilton Hotel in the morning to check in. With plenty of time, Atlanta is also a well-developed city, and there are plenty of places to visit, so pack your bags. Yang Yong took Anna to downtown Atlanta, played around, found a good Spanish restaurant at noon, ate a meal of Spanish specialties, and returned to the hotel in the afternoon to rest for more than four hours.
Yang Yong, his wife Anna, and Scott's butler sat on the extended Lincoln provided by the hotel, and appeared at five o'clock on time for a manor of more than 1,000 acres in the suburbs of Atlanta. This estate is where the Manning family lives and is where they will participate in today's charity auction gala.
Yang Yong's comprehensive strength can be ranked among the top top giants in the United States, so the Manning family did not dare to slack off and communicated with Scott Butler about Mr. Yang's itinerary and accurate time. When Yang Yong appeared at the door of the Manning family wearing a proper black suit, Anna, who was wearing a hand-embroidered cheongsam with peony flowers and dazzling jewelry.
The patriarch of the Manning family, 56-year-old Cole Manning, has been welcoming Yang Yong for a long time with important members of his family. Although the two sides have not met, Cole, the patriarch of the Manning family, has learned more about Yang Yong's information, and Cole is good at communicating. Since the two parties have just met and don't know each other, Cole's humorous language and sociable personality make it easy for both parties to meet like old friends without a little awkwardness.
When the two sides met, Cole and Yang Yong first came to a bear hug, and then the little old man laughed and introduced his entourage. In particular, Yang Yong introduced his eldest son in detail, who is also the crown prince of the entire Manning family, 25-year-old Cook Manning. Both parties are young people, one intends to make friends, and the other wants to make more friends of similar age, so Yang Yong and Cook hit it off at first sight, and the two sides chatted very happily.
After saying hello, Colemanning had other guests who needed to be picked up, and the task of entertaining Yang Yong fell to Cook Manning. Both of them are young and married, and they have children, so the content of the chat is all about the family, and they are very happy. Anna and Cook's wife, Elizabeth, quickly became good friends, and everyone came to Manning Castle to talk and laugh.
Then the men have the men's social circles, and the women have the women's social circles, after the two sides are separated. Cook took Yang Yong, took a glass of champagne and got together with the wealthy sons and daughters of the entire Georgia state, with Cook, the head snake, Yang Yong met a lot of powerful young friends.
Everyone lives in the upper class of American society, since they don't know each other, but when it comes to their respective families, they should have some understanding. Especially a top tycoon like Yang Yong, a few months ago, he and several brother families joined forces to ruin the Gomez family and Smith price. Since then, he has disappeared from the upper class of the United States, so Yang Yong's reputation is just unknown to him.
It can be that these wealthy sons and daughters in Georgia have become cautious with Yang Yong, and there is more or less flattery in them. Yang Yong didn't care that he was here to participate in the charity auction and make friends, as long as he was sincere, Yang Yong would not refuse, so soon Yang Yong became the focus of the whole banquet.
Everyone is a topic that young people talk about, and most of it revolves around eating, drinking, and having fun, and Yang Yong is even more interested in eating, drinking and having fun. Who made Yang Yong's life boring! After getting to know Yang Yong in detail, he finally opened his eyes to see how good he was at studying these boys. If you have nothing to do, find a boy who doesn't look at each other right, fight each other for getting rich, I will buy a sports car if you buy it, I will buy it if you buy a yacht, compare material than life than beauty, and everything that is comparable must compete with each other.
is much more colorful and interesting than Yang Yong's life. Yang Yong even feels that he has become a ninety-year-old man, and he is a little too homely, and he is a little out of touch with society, look at what kind of life young people are now. Look at the people who belong to the last century, so Yang Yong has a learning attitude and listens carefully to the interesting stories of these sons and brothers fighting for wealth with each other.
We had a great chat, and we made a few friends who seemed to be good, and both sides left contact information for each other. At this time, Scott's housekeeper came to Yang Yong's side and whispered a few words, the meaning was very simple, that is, the artwork brought by Yang Yong and his wife did not exceed 500,000 US dollars, and it was sent to the staff of the Manning family auction to prepare to participate in the auction.
After more than half an hour, the whole hall was bustling, and the charity auction party officially began at 6:30 p.m. Everyone sat at the round table in the Manning family hall, and Yang Yong was the main seat near the rostrum. Accompanying Yang Yong were the Cooks, as well as some sons and daughters of Georgia's top wealthy families who had a good chat.
When the live music sounded, everyone's applause also rang out, and the patriarchs of the Manning family, Mr. and Mrs. Colemanning, came to the stage to give a speech to thank all the guests for coming to the Manning family to participate in the charity auction party. I also thanked all the guests who donated some valuable artworks, and then Cole invited the president of the American Leukemia Children's Treatment Foundation to the stage to give some detailed reports.
The most important role is to sensationalize, so that these idle sons and brothers, who have nothing to do, have a lot of money to see what kind of pitiful state it is for seriously ill children. Especially some children who have undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the bare little head and thin body looks like it can be blown down by a gust of wind, and some more emotional ladies begin to cry. After seeing the effect achieved, the chairman of the treatment fund stepped down from the stage and waited excitedly for the auction to begin.
The items auctioned today are all donated by major families, although they are not top-notch works of art, they are also worth more than 100,000 yuan. There are also local tyrants who have come up with millions of dollars, and of course the artwork that has taken out millions of dollars is the Manning family, who let this charity auction party be held by the Manning family! You are the organizer, you don't bleed, who bleeds.
After the speeches and sensationalism, the auction officially began, and the process of each auction was similar, with some small items being auctioned at the beginning. The low-value ones enliven up the atmosphere of the scene, and the medium-value items appear in the middle, and the finale with the highest price.
The artwork Yang Yong brought with him was a $500,000 oil painting, which was a very nice thing. It belongs to the finale character, so the previous auctions were sold for about $100,000, and the atmosphere was very good, and everyone rushed to bid for their favorite things.
