Compared to the tension at some commercial auctions, the Ginkgo Night auction was a friendly one, as everyone came together with a common purpose to raise money for children in need.

Therefore, although Christie's White Glove Tom, who presided over the auction, introduced the various lots with great words, the fierce competition among the guests did not hurt the harmony.

First up is the "Five-Year Aged Golden Wine" that can be produced by "Xiao's Winery", which is the first year of "Xiao's Winery" and is quite rare in the market.

These wines sold for more than $1,300 when they left the factory, and now they have been aged and fermented for many years, and have a great reputation in the wine industry.

This time, the 3 boxes of 36 bottles of wine at 'Xiao's Winery' were auctioned in a group, and a total of 10 groups were auctioned, which also made the wine lovers on the scene happy, after all, these top wines cannot be bought with money.

As a result, a group of wines with a starting price of $40,000 soared until they were bought at an average price of $100,000, with an average price of nearly $3,000 per bottle.

Perhaps for ordinary people, spending nearly 20,000 RMB to auction a bottle of wine that is only 750ml is an incomprehensible behavior, but everyone knows that this transaction is not a loss.

In addition to being able to enjoy these wines in person and as gifts, they are also good products to retain their value, which can be seen from the market price of 'Xiao's wine' over the years.

At present, the five-year-old 'Xiao's wine' is sold for no less than $3,000 in the market, and it is already earned if it can be auctioned at a price lower than the market price.

It is foreseeable that in a few years' time, there will be a spike in the price of these 'five-year gold packages'. In the end, these guests were pleasantly surprised.

Xiao Feng saw the enthusiasm of the guests, and immediately decided to continue to add 20 sets of 'Five-Year Golden Wines' to meet the needs of the guests.

In the end, 30 groups of wines were auctioned at a high price of 20 million RMB, especially in the last few groups, and the competition among the guests became more intense. After all, these wines are not something that can be bought for money. Compared to the 'Xiao Wines' that were made together, these 'Golden Ageing' wines are made from the best grapes from the vineyard, and the taste is much better than that of ordinary 'Xiao Wines'.

All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Ginkgo Foundation, which will be used exclusively for the treatment of children with thalassemia and leukemia, as well as for the follow-up education costs.

'Xiao's Winery' is the first time to launch these 'golden ageing', if it weren't for the atmosphere of the scene, many wealthy guests even had the idea of being overwhelmed by wealth.

Fortunately, everyone also knows that the main theme of today's auction is to raise funds for the children, not to show off their wealth, so everyone is quite restrained. Especially those super-rich people who are close to Xiao Feng. will not steal the limelight with ordinary guests in these links.

For red wine, they have a higher goal, that is, the 'dream wines' in Xiao Feng's hands, these super wines that cost more than $10,000 are the top red wines that match their identity.

The debut of the 30 'Golden Wines' quickly aroused the enthusiasm of the guests, and the auction got off to a good start, which led to the success of the auction that followed.

Many guests brought out their treasured artworks and various commemorative items, and the atmosphere of the auction became more and more enthusiastic for a while.

Like what. Brother Chen Long took out a picture of shrimp drawn by the old man Baishi in his later years, which attracted many guests who were interested in art investment to bid.

Ultimately. George Morgan, who had a keen interest in Chinese culture, bought the painting, which was less than 10 square feet in size, for $6 million, a price that would have been high even at an art auction in Xiangjiang or Haizhou.

Immediately, Brother Chen Long also donated all the money to the 'Ginkgo Foundation', which is also one of the many big donations of the eldest brother, and his donation has been close to 200 million RMB.

Because there are many foreign friends among the guests participating in the charity auction today, in order to comply with the country's cultural relics protection laws. All the items taken out by the guests are works of art within 100 years, so as to avoid accidentally causing the situation of cultural relics being lost overseas.

Zhou Xingxing, who loves to collect furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties, took out a complete set of furniture made of Huanghuali in Qiongdao, although these furniture were not displayed on the scene, but with a variety of exquisite pictures and videos, it has already made the Chinese guests on the scene into a commotion.

Europeans and Americans may not be very interested in Chinese Ming and Qing style furniture. But this aesthetic is very much in line with Huaxia's vision, not to mention that the material of these furniture is second only to small-leaved rosewood.

So, this set of Huanghuali sent out a sky-high price of more than 20 million, which was pocketed by Liu Yonghao, for the old man who is over sixty years old, such a harvest is also worth his trip.

As the auction progressed, all kinds of rare and exotic treasures continued to appear, challenging the adrenaline of the guests on the spot, whether it was Western oil paintings, Oriental ink paintings, calligraphy works or various jewelry, all of which had a considerable level, so that the guests were satisfied.

For the guests, paying for charity is not something that will make him feel at a loss, but if the auction items are worth the money, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

From this point of view, the guests who took out various lots today are very sincere, which also greatly mobilizes the enthusiasm of other guests for the auction and can raise more funds for the children.

In the auction, in addition to those top-level artworks that often cost tens of millions, the prices of some good collections are not high, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and many entertainment stars who entered the venue also made their moves.

Xiao Feng, who was sitting in the venue, was quite satisfied when he saw that the auction scene was so hot, after all, every time the lot was successfully auctioned, it could save more children's lives.

In addition to providing treatment for children with thalassemia and leukemia, the Ginkgo Foundation will also build a large nursing home on the shores of Kiang Lake to provide follow-up care for the children. At the same time, the 'Ginkgo Hospital' and 'Ginkgo School' will also provide better medical and educational conditions for the children who come to the 'Ginkgo Village' for recuperation, so that they can better integrate into society.

In addition, 'Jinghu Group' will also provide more employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for parents of children in 'Ginkgo New District'. Improving their family income is the fundamental way to change their fate.

All in all, for the sake of this 'Golden Sunshine' project, the 'Jinghu Group' and the 'Impact Foundation' not only have to come up with real money, but also do all kinds of meticulous work to change the traditional donation model.

The goal of Golden Sunshine is not just to save the lives of children. It is more important to enable these children to live, learn and return to mainstream society like normal people.

From this point of view, the 'Ginkgo Foundation' still has a lot of work to do!

The auction is coming to an end, and the finale provided by Xiao Feng finally appeared, although the guests on the scene have already seen its photos in the promotional brochure, but after seeing the real thing, they are still dizzy!

Weighing more than 45 carats, this super fire diamond is part of the 'Purple Bamboo Space' collection and is perfectly set in a necklace of white gold and blue-green-red gemstones. The huge fire diamond sparkles in the light of the spotlights. All the women at the scene had bright eyes, wishing that they could have such a perfect diamond.

However, everyone knows in their hearts that only a few super-rich people on the scene are eligible to bid for such a super diamond!

If it weren't for Xiao Feng having already taken out a pink diamond of the same specification and giving it to him as a birthday gift this year, Xu Mengyao would not have been able to take out his private money to take this diamond. You know, all women in the world, like dragons, have no resistance to glittering objects.

Besides. When it comes to the cash flow at hand, I'm afraid that most of the people on the scene can't compare with Xu Mengyao!

Of course. It is not excluded that when the auction reaches a certain level, Xu Mengyao will take this fire diamond at a shocking price, after all, the dragon's pursuit of treasure is endless.

"A 45-carat fire diamond, both in purity and cut, is the most perfect combination ever, and it can't be described as perfect!" said white-gloved Tom from Christie's, a slightly trembling voice. After all, it was the most special lot of his auction career, and he shouted with a slight roar: "Perfect fire diamond necklace, starting at $1!"

The reason why Xiao Feng set the starting price of $1 is because he has great confidence in this fire diamond, and he also knows that the guests at the scene will definitely not miss this diamond. Presumably, the auction scene will be extremely fierce.

"Five million dollars!" Although Becky knew that this fire diamond might not be able to be auctioned by himself, he still kicked off the bidding.

The price of $5 million caused an uproar in the audience, but everyone knew that this was not the real price of the diamond, because someone soon shouted $10 million!

After a while, this perfect fire diamond necklace was raised to a high price of $20 million, and the media reporters who were lucky enough to enter the scene were also dumbfounded.

$20 million is not the final price, although there are only a dozen guests left to participate in the auction, but they are all super-rich with a net worth of billions, and they are fully capable of auctioning this necklace.

Although the increase in the auction price has become smaller, every time the bid is 1 million US dollars, even those stars in the entertainment industry suddenly feel their hearts beat faster.

Take Hollywood A-list superstars such as Will Smith as an example, their most successful sign is the members of the '$20 million club', but in the face of these super treasures that can cost tens of millions of dollars, their net worth is still a little insufficient.

Soon, the auction price climbed to $30 million, and no one could be calm in the face of such a perfect fire diamond!

The price of close to 200 million RMB may be sky-high for ordinary people, but for some super families, it is naturally the best to take it as a family heirloom.

As a result, representatives of the Morgan, Walton, Rockefeller, DuPont, and Mellon families are now in the auction, after all, these family successors have already received the support of the family meeting.

In addition to the representatives of the American consortium, the super-rich in China showed no sign of giving up, including Lin Jian, Xiao Ma Ge and others, who also gritted their teeth and insisted.

When the auction price rose to $37 million, many people dropped out of the competition, after all, this is not a small amount, and not everyone has that much cash in their bank accounts.

Originally, Xu Mengyao wanted to intervene sideways, but seeing that the last few people competing were all guests who had a good relationship with the Xiao family, she had to hold back in the end.

After all, Xiao Feng still has super diamonds of various colors in his hands, and it is not important to auction such a fire diamond to the outside world, which can also make the relationship between these families and the Xiao family more solid.

In the end, it was George Morgan who had a lot of money and bought this perfect fire diamond necklace at a super high price of $42 million, which won warm applause from the audience!

This has to make people sigh, the old consortium families in Europe and the United States are really hidden, don't look at their ranking on the Forbes rich list, but they have a deeper heritage than other super-rich people.

For Xiao Ma, Lin Jian and others, although they can come up with more funds to auction this fire diamond, it may exceed the actual price too much, and some of the gains outweigh the losses. They are businessmen at heart, and everything has to be weighed in value, not to mention that they don't want to get into trouble with the Morgans.

US$ 42 million, at least 400 children could be funded if the average cost of treatment for one child was US$ 100,000. Although the diamond was expensive, George Morgan donated more than it actually was, which won the unanimous appreciation of all the guests at the scene.

The auction of fire diamonds was undoubtedly the high and high part of the whole auction, so much so that the auction of several lots was carried out with some excitement, and everyone's minds seemed to have been scattered.

Fortunately, the auction was nearing its end by this time, and all the lots were finally sold smoothly, and there were no unsuccessful auctions, which also kept Tom's white glove title from being lost.

In the end, the auction prices of all the lots and the final donations raised were displayed on the large screen at the scene, and the huge number made the scene burst into warm applause and cheers.

For all the guests, 100 million US dollars can be quantified as the health and future of 1,000 children, perhaps their small efforts are a child's 'sunny future'!

The media reporters at the scene also took pictures of the numbers on the big screen in time and sent them to the publicity platforms of their respective media, which also made the netizens and fans who paid attention to the 'Ginkgo Night' cheer!

In this world, philanthropy can often touch the weakest places in people's hearts, and everyone is willing to make their own efforts for those children!

That's the beauty of charity! )
