Chapter 366: Public Welfare Auction
Yang Yi casually ate at a roadside stall and was about to go back to Poseidon Villa to sleep, but received a call from Jia Hui.
"It's certainly not a good thing to call me so late." Yang Yi picked his teeth with a toothpick and said lazily: "Don't call me for entertainment programs, I'm not interested." Recently, there has been a lot of work in school, so I have to go to bed early and get up early so as not to affect my normal work. ”
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Jia Hui over there had already shouted: "Commander, it's not an entertainment program, but there will be a public welfare activity soon, as the top leader of Xingwei Group, you won't come to participate, right?" "Xingwei Group is already Qu Yingying in name, but the actual power is still in the hands of Yang Yi, a person who is not very in charge.
"Public welfare activities?" Yang Yi yawned: "I'm too lazy to participate in these little things, you can just help me find a representative to deal with." By the way, what kind of public welfare activities? ”
"It's an auction!" Jia Hui said with a smile: "All the auction proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Hope Project, which can be regarded as our contribution to the public welfare." After a pause, he said: "This auction is officially carried out, so people with heads and faces in the entire north of the city will participate, you are the supreme leader of Xingwei, do you want to come anyway?" ”
"Okay!" Hearing that it was officially organized, Yang Yi really couldn't find a reason to refuse, so as not to make Xingwei leave a bad impression on the official, so he could only reluctantly agree: "Tell me the address, and I'll go over immediately!" ”
Yinan officials will hold some similar public welfare activities every year, the purpose of which is naturally to show the above, and at the same time to win a good reputation for themselves. No matter what kind of public welfare activities, the official will hand it over to the local famous family or large enterprises to organize, and the official can get everything he wants without paying a penny. And those businesses or families also spent money to 'buy' reputation, and both parties are mutually beneficial, and they know each other tacitly.
The auction will be held at the Plaza Hotel, which is the only hotel officially designated to have a star. It is an official hotel that does not receive any idle guests on weekdays and will only be officially open when necessary. However, all the costs come from multiple sponsors, and the official does not have to spend a penny.
The auction was held in the lobby on the first floor, and all the things that were not needed had been cleaned up a few days in advance, and some minor changes were made, including tables, chairs, sofas, and necessary greenery. Completely rejuvenate the hall.
Many dignitaries and people from prestigious families came to the scene early, and the reason they participated in the auction was nothing more than to get to know more people who would help them, and charity activities had no meaning at all for them, and this event was no different from a gathering in high society.
At the door of the Plaza Hotel, Jia Hui saw Yang Yi getting out of the taxi, hurriedly greeted him, threw a hundred yuan to the taxi driver, and pulled Yang Yi away, while saying: "The party time has passed, and now the auction has just begun!" ”
Yang Yi said lazily: "What is there to auction tonight?" In my experience, there are generally no good things in public welfare activities like this kind of official event. It's nothing more than some famous calligraphy and paintings, or daily necessities donated by celebrities. I remember that the last time I auctioned a toothbrush that Xia Ziyu had used, it was said that it was marked at a sky-high price of two million. ”
Jia Hui smiled: "Generally speaking, these things are all things, but this time is different, in addition to the above things, there will be a few good things tonight." I don't know exactly what it is, but I've heard that it looks like it's an ancient trinket and weapon. If you're interested, Commander, I'll get it for you later. ”
Yang Yi took out Tianxiu's hair and gave it to Jia Hui, and he also ordered one, and said in a foggy manner: "Don't Mr. Jia know that I, Yang, don't like to give and accept bribes?" ”
Jia Hui sweated on his forehead and said with a dry smile: "If the commander doesn't like it, forget it, let's go!" It's already started, let's hurry up and see which wronged heads are going to be slaughtered! ”
On the first floor of the lobby of the Plaza Hotel, each table is separated like an upper-class reception, and fruit and wine are placed on the table for guests to enjoy while the auction is underway.
European-style crystal chandeliers illuminate the space as if it were daytime, and a middle-aged man in a suit stands on the front of the stage, in front of a special marble wide table with a small wooden hammer on the table, which will be the place where the auction results will be announced.
"Let's go over there! Dedicated to Star Will. Jia Hui led the way in front and led Yang Yi to a table on the edge of the front row. The table placement and arrangement of the auction are also exquisite. Large families and businesses, such as the four families of Yinan or large groups such as Xingwei, are eligible to sit in the front row, while others that are slightly worse are in the back row in turn.
There is also a table in the front row dedicated to popular stars, but at this moment, Yang Yi saw Xia Ziyu and a very handsome young man.
The young man was wearing a pure white suit and was chatting with Xia Ziyu at the moment. I don't know what the two talked about, both of them had happy expressions on their faces.
"That's the Han Luo that our Heavenly Oracle Empire is now supporting." Jia Hui looked at Yang Yi's line of sight and hurriedly explained: "He rarely shows up on such occasions, so this can be regarded as giving him some knowledge." ”
Yang nodded and sat down disappreciatively. He has heard of Han Luo's name, he debuted in recent years, and he is now a popular first-line star, although there is still a gap between Xia Ziyu and Lin Du, but his value is much higher than that of other artists, which also indirectly explains his popularity.
Sitting next to Yang Yi was Luo Dazhang, the current vice president of Xingwei, who immediately stood up after seeing Yang Yi, and only sat down cautiously after Yang Yi sat down, while saying tentatively: "Is Mr. Yang also interested in this auction?" I didn't intend to inform you about this little thing. ”
Yang Yi opened the red wine on the table, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then frowned and said, "Is there any beer?" By the way, let them bring something to eat. For example, braised goose, braised pig's trotters, plate duck and so on. "I ate a little bit outside before, and now I'm feeling a little hungry when I come here. Because of his monster-like strength, his digestive function is also very different from that of ordinary people.
Hearing this, Luo Dazhang hurriedly got up and greeted a waiter, and whispered in the waiter's ear, and then saw that the waiter was still a little hesitant, and immediately shouted again: "What are you doing standing stupidly?" Hurry up and let the kitchen bring these things over! ”
"Where's Yingying?" Yang nodded to Zhi Tianxiu, but he didn't see Qu Yingying's figure left and right, and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, but it was still not time to go to bed.
"Miss Qu was a little unwell, so I didn't let her come to this kind of occasion." Luo Dazhang said cautiously: "Anyway, this kind of auction only needs to buy a little symbolic thing." ”
Yang nodded, since Qu Dingxian died of illness, Qu Yingying has grown a lot. Now she is not only busy with her studies, but also has to focus most of her energy on learning company management and some related knowledge. So much so that her daily rest time has drastically decreased, and although she has lived an extremely privileged life compared to her peers, she has actually lost a lot of precious things.
Over there, Xia Ziyu suddenly saw Yang Yi somehow, and hurriedly got up and walked over. Han Luo didn't know what was going on, but when he saw that his boss Jia Hui was also over there, he hurriedly followed.
"Why are you here?" Xia Ziyu said in a low voice: "Are you also interested in those auction items?" ”
Yang Yi said lazily: "I'm not interested in these things at all, but since I said hello from above, I'm going to come over and go through the motions." He glanced at Han Luo, nodded and said, "Don't stand stupidly, sit down quickly, don't block the people behind." ”
Han Luo was stunned, and when he saw Xia Ziyu sitting down, he also sat down, but he always felt a little uncomfortable next to Yang Yi. This very ordinary-looking man gave him a huge pressure that he had never felt before, and he was probably the only one in the entire Yinan who would speak to Xia Ziyu in the same tone as before.
"Han Luo, this is Mr. Yang." Jia Hui said solemnly: "Mr. Yang is not only the real-name president of Xingwei, but also has the profound skills of both director and screenwriter. Now many media companies want to pay for Mr. Yang to help produce and direct the film! ”
When Jia Hui said this, Han Luo's heart was even more bottomless, and his previous doubts were temporarily solved. Although I don't know who Qu Yingying and Yang Yi are the presidents, it is always not wrong to be polite and polite. Immediately got up and said respectfully: "Hello Mr. Yang, I'm Han Luo!" Please advise! ”
Yang Yi touched Tianxiu's hair and said with a smile: "Mr. Jia is too polite." How can my little bit of kung fu be a deep foundation? However, Mr. Jia, one person can manage the entire Heavenly Oracle Empire in an orderly manner, and also manage the restaurant chain under the name of the Heavenly Oracle Empire, this is a truly talented person! ”
Where did Jia Hui dare to pretend in front of Yang Yi, and after taking over Tianxiu, he lit it, and he didn't even dare to say it.
Xia Ziyu only sneered beside him: "Mr. Yang and Mr. Jia are both well-known big names in Yinan, it seems that there is no need to praise each other here, right?" Turning his face to look at Yang Yi: "Where have you been recently?" Why can't I get through on the phone? Her tone was coquettish, half-joking, but to others it sounded like a wife questioning her husband's infidelity.
Commander Yang's old-fashioned smartphones are second-hand, the internal parts are old, and he doesn't know how to use some software to optimize the phone, which causes the phone to run more and more slowly, and many times there will be no signal or automatic shutdown. In order to prevent the phone from being unblocked at any time, Commander Yang is ready to sell this second-hand old smartphone back to the boss and exchange it for a better one.
smiled dryly: "I have a problem with this mobile phone at any time, and I'm about to change it!" In order to win Xia Ziyu's trust, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and put it on the table. The phone is very cooperative with the beep of a lost signal.
"It is really admirable that Mr. Yang, as the president of Xingwei, is so frugal!" Jia Hui patted his ass at the right time: "We should all study hard." ”
Yang Yi said lazily: "Don't come to this set, Lao Tzu just won't use the current smartphone!" I'll go back tomorrow and make sure I don't miss your contact again! ”
At this time, the lights of the whole room were a little dim, and the auctioneer at the front desk picked up a hammer and knocked on the table, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now I announce that the auction has officially begun!" ”
All people's attention was focused on the auctioneer, and only Xia Ziyu lowered her head and looked thoughtful.
