【Chapter 434】 Charity Auction (Subscription Requested!)
"The first lot tonight comes from the Xiao family, and Mrs. Xiao donated a pair of Ming Chenghua mackerel algae pattern cups from the family's collection!" As the auctioneer's Mandarin with a slight Beiping accent was intrigued, everyone was attracted by the pair of exquisite artworks under the spotlight, and the auctioneer Zhang Allen continued: "This pair of Chenghua cups has been identified by experts from the Palace Museum, and they are genuine from the official kiln, in good condition, and have great collection and academic value!"
Although the information of some heavyweight lots was also circulated among the guests before, the appearance of such a national treasure in the first auction still surprised the knowledgeable guests present.
Last year, the Chenghua mackerel algae pattern cup, which was still slightly small and in insufficient condition, was auctioned at Sotheby's in Peking at a high price of 15 million RMB, and I am afraid that tonight's auction will set a new record.
During the Ming Dynasty, porcelain has always been favored by collectors and the market, and some rich and celebrities have just begun to try it.
Old Lady Xiao, General Xu and others did not appear at the venue, after all, the old people were not keen on these things, they just needed these things to help more children.
The pair of Chenghua cups climbed all the way from the starting price of 10 million, and was finally pocketed by Pan Zhongkun with 18 million.
With the warm applause of the guests at the scene, Mr. Pan signed a cash check and handed it over to the financial staff of the 'Ginkgo Foundation', which was a good start for today's auction.
Immediately afterwards, the two limited edition microphones used by the diva Wang Wen and Sister Ying at the concert became the second lot, which was also sought after by many guests, and finally a local tycoon in Yaozhou won the final victory with 380,000 yuan.
In this kind of charity auction, everyone's bids are quite sensible, and the auctioneer is aware of this situation, and many of the methods used in the auction to incite the atmosphere and increase the price are not used, so the scene is quite peaceful.
Due to the large number of guests attending the banquet, not every guest's lot can be auctioned by the auctioneer, and some low-value lot lists and low prices are hung on the walls of the banquet hall, and the guests can mark their favorite items, and the final price is higher.
Therefore, most of the lots auctioned on the rostrum are some precious items, such as ancient books, limited edition luxury goods, some special items with historical significance, and so on. And because Mrs. Xiao's Chenghua Cup offered a high price, some of the next lots also repeatedly hit high prices, which made the guests at the scene look at it intently.
Ling Feng took the scarf team of Inspur.com to constantly broadcast the situation of the scene to netizens who were guarding in front of computers and mobile phones in the venue, and the constantly refreshing prices made many netizens excited.
Ms. Hua, as the chairman of the 'Ginkgo Foundation' and a national treasure-level singer, also took out the lot that was quite commemorative! Ms. Hua took out the master tape of the "Field of Hope" album, which was popular all over the country, which was Ms. Hua's first special plane, and it was also her representative work that began to walk in front of the people of the whole country!
In the end, Xiao Feng, who was rich and wealthy, defeated other rich people and obtained this master tape at a high price of 1.28 million.
…………
Xiao Xiao and several other girls participated in the auction for the first time, and they were very happy to stand in the audience, and several young and beautiful figures also became the embellishment of the banquet.
Because the guests attending the banquet are either rich or expensive, or they are well-known stars, a few girls will not encounter a bloody scene where they rarely come up to talk to each other. Although Wang Xiaolong's encounter on the flight was tried his best to cover it up, it still spread in the circle, and everyone didn't dare to be rude to the eldest princess of the Xiao family.
Xiao Xiao and the others are not just watching the excitement, when they encounter something they like, they also actively raise their hands to participate in the auction and take pictures of some brand-name bags that cannot be bought in China.
Xiao Xiao took a Hermes platinum bag at a price of 68,000RMB, which was so big that many small stars present were also surprised. However, in connection with Xiao Xiao's identity, such a price is not too outrageous.
If anyone knows anything about the 'Jinghu System', Xiao Xiao, who serves as the CEO of the 'Ginkgo Biloba Specialty' online store, has an annual salary of one million, plus dividends and equity in her own name, a proper billionaire little rich woman!
As for Fontaine, although 'Colorful Sunshine' is still in the stage of rapid expansion and the demand for funds is extremely huge, as one of the shareholders, it is normal for them to have 180,000 pocket money.
The atmosphere at the auction site was quite good, the guests actively participated in the bidding, and they did not tear their faces because of this, and the accumulated donation figures also made everyone proud.
…………
By the time the auction was coming to an end, the staff of the Ginkgo Foundation had efficiently assigned all the lots to the guests, and the statistics of the donations had come out.
Xiao Feng uploaded the photos of the lots he took out to inform the fans of the latest situation of the charity auction, which immediately caused netizens to exclaim!
"Except for my upcoming Tang Bohu landscape painting, all the lots have been owned, and a total of 58 million RMB has been raised, thank you to all the guests for their enthusiastic support!"
The reason why netizens exclaimed was because the charity auction in just one night raised so much money, not including the number of donations from some wealthy people in the future, and in addition, Xiao Feng actually had Tang Bohu's real handiwork, which made everyone pay more attention to this auction.
Although the historical celebrities in China for 5,000 years are like a galaxy, and there are countless names, but under the influence of various film and television works, Tang Bohu, as one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, is extremely well-known among ordinary people, and it is reasonable that he has attracted much attention.
Xiao Feng's Tang Yin's 'Spring River Night Moon Picture' is from the collection of 'Zizhu Space', of course, this is only one of the lowest value works, after all, if the national treasures of calligraphy and painting are taken out, the impact is too great.
Even so, a genuine handiwork of Tang Bohu still shocked the expert group involved in the identification, but they did not expect that the Xiao family would have such calligraphy and painting masterpieces in addition to the fine porcelain of Ming Chenghua. Although this "Night Moon Picture of the Spring River" has never appeared on the market, it is preserved in some historical records and literati notes.
Xiao Feng's lot has been identified by many experts before the 'Ginkgo Night', and after determining that it is genuine, he sent the photo to some wealthy people and collectors who like antiques in China. It can be said that many tycoons, collectors and spokespersons at today's dinner are here for this "Spring River Night Moon Picture".
"Now the last lot in this auction, Mr. Xiao Feng's donation of Tang Yin's "Spring River Night Moon Map"!" Although the auction lasted for more than two hours, the auctioneer was still in good spirits due to the relaxed atmosphere of the scene.
Since it is the last lot, Allen Zhang also gave the most detailed explanation of it, from the era, style, specifications of the work, and the performance of Tang Yin's works in the domestic and foreign art markets in recent years, etc., so that the guests on the scene have a better understanding of it.
Of course, those guests who are determined to win are already well aware of these situations, and they also have a certain idea of the approximate transaction price of this "Spring River Night Moon Map".
"The starting price of this "Spring River Night Moon Picture" is 10 million RMB, please bid enthusiastically!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng's starting price was quite low, but insiders would not be naïve enough to think that its final price would be lower than that of the previous Chenghua Cup.
Sure enough, in less than two minutes, the bidding of the on-site guests had exceeded 30 million, and the upward trend slowed down. However, this is only relative, every time the card is raised, it will increase by one or two million, and it can be seen that many guests are bound to win this Tang Yin work.
Rao is a lot of celebrities at the scene have a lot of net worth, but when they saw the bigwigs add one million or two million, they realized that they were actually still poor.
Ling Feng's scarf live broadcast team almost swiped the screen to transmit the bidding guests and quotations to the Internet, which attracted more and more netizens to pay attention to this auction.
Soon, the price has exceeded 40 million, which means that the donation raised by tonight's charity auction has reached 100 million RMB. Such an iconic number also made Xiao Feng slightly excited, and updated his scarf in time.
Behind a 1, the shining 8 0s immediately made Xiao Feng's fans cheer, they didn't expect the appeal of idols to be so great at the beginning!
For some charity dinners in China, it would be good to be able to get 10 million or 20 million, but I didn't expect the 'Ginkgo Foundation' to receive such a huge amount of money in the first charity auction, which is really gratifying!
In the end, Mr. Huang Zhongjun, President of Brother Entertainment Group, auctioned the "Spring River Night Moon Picture" at a price of 48 million RMB, which made the charity auction of the 'Ginkgo Foundation' raise 116 million yuan!
In the warm applause of the audience, Xiao Feng personally handed over the "Night Moon Picture of the Spring River" to Huang Zhongjun, and several media reporters at the scene also kept pressing the shutter to record this moment!
In the end, Liu Yongjun, Pan Zhongkun, Ma Teng and other tycoons in the business world announced one after another that they would donate an additional amount of money to the 'Ginkgo Foundation' in the name of individuals or companies, and the amount was not less than 20 million, and the representatives of the local consortium in Yaozhou who came to attend the dinner were not far behind, and donated 100 million yuan to the 'Ginkgo Foundation'!
In addition to the proceeds from the charity auction, the corporate community donated a total of 300 million RMB to the Ginkgo Foundation.
After Xiao Feng got the number jù, he announced that he personally contributed 80 million to make up the donation for tonight to 500 million, and this number is also the final number of jù for today's dinner!
The money raised by the 'Ginkgo Night' broke a series of records for domestic philanthropy, and in an instant, it was a sensation on the Internet!R1152
