Chapter 246: White Knight vs. Black Knight
The first auction item is a Qing Dynasty imitation brother kiln porcelain donated by Feng Yipo, a glazed string pattern vase.
"This glazed string pattern bottle, the carcass is dense, the glaze is shiny, the purple iron foot, the gold wire is iron, it is the imitation brother glaze in the Yongzheng or Qianlong period......"
The auctioneer, wearing a tuxedo, held up the lot and commented: "The iron foot round waist is cracked in ice, and Xuancheng is full of flowers." Song Dynasty kiln porcelain, has survived only 100 pieces, each of which is a rare treasure, a national first-class cultural relic. Even if it is an imitation of the kiln of the Qing Dynasty, the market price is more than one million, and now the starting price is 800,000, and the price is increased by 50,000 each time. ”
"Feng Zhuang Lord Tuhao, let's be friends!"
The host Mo Han exaggeratedly joked: "Ladies and gentlemen, Master Feng not only provided a venue for the reception, but also generously donated an antique porcelain, let us express our gratitude to Master Feng for his generosity with warm applause and bold bidding." Thank you, Master Feng! ”
Warm applause rang out again. Feng Yipo stood on the stage and generously arched his hand: "You're polite, you're polite!" To make some contributions to charity, Feng is duty-bound. Welcome to our village, I hope you have a great time, the drinks are enough, thank you ......"
Celebrities from all walks of life who participated in the reception were immediately aroused. Judging from the fact that the organizers specially hired auctioneers and the first lot with a starting price of more than one million, today's charity cocktail party may not be as small as an ordinary charity auction, but closer to a real auction.
"Talking about money hurts feelings, and not talking about money has no feelings." Everyone finally understands the connotation of Old Man Gong's words. This is not love, this is to let everyone publicly pretend to show off their wealth, the unspoken rule of charity, dear!
Yunkai didn't deal with Gong Qianshan, but his grandfather's public digging behavior surged with sympathy - the old man Gong is considered to be the senior brother of the dragon god, as the junior of the master and the junior of the rivers and lakes, shouldn't he go and visit?
Of course, he also raised his posture by the way. An imitation of the Qianlong period is worth millions, so what about the genuine products of the Song Dynasty kiln? It seems that the old man's pharmacy is slipping around. Yunkai muttered when he was a child, why the old man's jar for medicinal materials is a tattered porcelain jar with strange shapes and cracks, and now I know that it is called "Ice Crack", nicknamed "Golden Wire", and it is an artifact in the Dusu collection world!
Well, when you run out of money one day, go back and steal it, oh no, just take a few pieces out and sell them, and become a tyrant in minutes......
As he wandered away from his wine glass, the charity auction began.
"A million." Someone raised his wine glass and raised the price by 200,000 directly.
"One million, this gentleman bids a million." The auctioneer raised the auction hammer and knocked on the countertop, raising his voice and saying: "In order to auction this glazed string vase, the organizer specially asked antique experts to appraise it, and one million has not yet reached its market price. Distinguished guests, please show your sincerity and generosity to charity......"
"One and a half million!" Before the auctioneer could finish his words, someone raised his hand again.
"One and a half million, one and a half million!" The auctioneer shouted excitedly: "This is the philanthropic spirit of our elites in Chongqing, let us give warm encouragement to this gentleman's generosity!" ”
The one-time price increase of 500,000 yuan did show the sincerity of charity and immediately won a lot of attention and applause.
The person who quoted the offer was a white-clothed minister, he raised his wine glass and nodded around, looking in the direction of the white sky valley intentionally or unintentionally, and the two cousins glanced at each other from a distance.
The so-called four young people in the upper social circle of Yudu, each with one person in the Platinum Summer Palace. The unprecedented Jun Bai Konggu has always been the representative of the younger generation of the Bai family, and his limelight is far better than that of the head of the family. The white-clothed Xiangcheng Mansion is deeper, and he doesn't say anything on the surface, but secretly he is swollen without a trace of mustard?
Now Bai Konggu has left his family to start his own business, and has voluntarily given up the competition for the position of the heir to the head of the family. Then, the title of the four young people in Yudu should be returned to their respective places and return to his white-clothed appearance, right?
This is the meaning of the white face, and it is also the purpose of his first lot.
White Sky Valley didn't show any dissatisfaction, but instead smiled and nodded, raising his glass with encouraging eyes.
It's all in plain sight.
For the proud White Sky Valley, this is a choice he made on his own initiative. On the one hand, he didn't want to see the Bai family have infighting due to the dispute over the heir of the head of the family, and his grandfather also understood his painstaking efforts, so he handed over the land in his hand to him; On the other hand, although it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, it is difficult to grow another big tree under the big tree.
The swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, and Bai Konggu will not laugh at Bai Yixiang, but he will not explain it to him. For the future of the family, the best result is to have two flowers blooming and one branch each.
While the brothers had their own thoughts, others also made bids.
"One million five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One million seven hundred and fifty thousand!"
“……”
No matter who raises the price, Bai Yixiang will immediately increase by 200,000 yuan, so that the price of this imitation brother kiln glazed string pattern bottle will exceed 2 million in a few minutes. Everyone can see that the newcomer Wang of the Bai family is determined to get the first lot, and he has the meaning of making a high-profile appearance on the commercial stage of Chongqing.
In another circle, Cui Xinghe held the bottom of the cup and slowly rotated, looking a little bored.
Compared with his identity, Cui Xinghe's appearance is not very eye-catching, and his clothes are very casual, so casual that he doesn't look like he came to participate in such a high-profile drinking party, most people wear formal clothes, but he wears a pair of jeans and a black low-necked long-sleeved shirt.
Even so, he still feels like he stands out from the crowd. The gentle eyes and charming smile fully reflect the good upbringing of a nobleman, and make people feel like a spring breeze affinity, which is impossible to dislike and refuse - this is probably the humility of the superior, there is no need to speak harshly, because casual words will be carried out as a will; There is no need to sensationalize, as everywhere he goes, he will immediately become the center of everyone's attention.
In fact, this is also true. In the entire cocktail party, in addition to the big guys such as the old man Gong and the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, the two who attracted the most attention were Cui Xinghe and Xia Yan.
Xia Yan attracted attention, because he had been hot in Chongqing recently, and the Jin family was beaten by him so much that they couldn't raise their heads and had no power to resist; Cui Xinghe's attention comes from the influence of the Yanjing Cui family in the Chinese political and business circles, from his extraordinary achievements in the business field, and from the gorgeous aura of "marrying someone should marry Cui Xinghe".
Under Yunkai's planning, Baikong Gu became the white-clothed knight of the Jin family, while Cui Xinghe was the black-clothed knight found by Xia Yan; Bai Kong Gu is a proud person, and Cui Xinghe is an even more proud person - judging from the current situation, the White Knights formed by Bai Kong Valley, Xia Hanshuang and Yun Kai are at an all-round disadvantage against the Black Knights led by Cui Xinghe and Xia Yan.
Xia Yan, who was holding the winning ticket, didn't have much interest in the auction in front of him, and said with some mockery: "Cui Shao, this is the newcomer of the Bai family, Wang Baiyixiang." Compared to my old rival Bai Konggu, it seems that it is still a little bit behind......"
Whether it was Bai Konggu or Bai Yixiang, naturally he didn't put it in Cui Gongzi's eyes, he smiled and said: "It's understandable that the fledgling is in a hurry to perform. This first auction, Yan Shao doesn't plan to mix it up? ”
"Forget it, it's not kind to bully rookies." Xia Yan shook his head and said, "My target now is the Jin family, and I don't want to provoke the people of the Bai family for the time being, so let the white clothes behave well." It will be the climax when the demon fairy arrives later, Cui Shao will take the finale lot, I really want to see what Jin Yutang's expression will be......"
"You're having a bad taste, all boring?"
"Cui Shao will get bored if he stands too high. I'm not bored, haha! ”
“……”
While the two were chatting in a whisper, Bai Yixiang successfully won the first lot for 2.2 million yuan - this price was nearly double the actual value, which can be regarded as his philanthropic spirit.
In the warm applause, Feng Yipo personally sent the glazed string pattern bottle to the white minister. As for the handover of the donation, no one will worry about it, and the amount of 100,000 yuan can only be regarded as pocket money for many people present.
Mo Han walked up to the stage again, and said with a smile on his face: "Give people roses, there is a lingering fragrance in my hands, even I want to participate in the auction, I only hate that I don't have as much money as Mr. Bai, and I can't be willful......"
Someone in the audience kindly joked: "The kiss of a great beauty, the auction price must be higher than the glazed string pattern bottle!" ”
A burst of laughter came, and Mo Han himself leaned forward and backwards with joy, and the waves were turbulent. "This can be had, even the right to the first night can be auctioned, but it can't be delivered in public......"
"Hahaha......"
"This big wave, she won't feel comfortable if she doesn't complain!" Xia Hanshuang was in the audience, muttering angrily: "Su Hang, why did you invite her to host?" ”
"Isn't she your good sister?"
Su Hang rolled his eyes and replied: "The first popular hostess in Yudu, who am I not looking for her?" Besides, the time is too rushed, there is no way to prepare other entertainment programs, and only her style can mobilize the atmosphere. ”
Xia Hanshuang no longer slandered her best friend, and sighed to Yun Kai: "If the Cui family is strongly involved, there will be a huge gap in our financial strength, what should we do?" ”
"Who can say for sure that there is such a thing as victory or defeat?" Yun Kai's eyes wandered between the Xia family and the Bai family's circle, pondering all kinds of trickster ideas in his mind, and he really wanted to drag Bai Yixiang into the water.
"There are countless examples in history where the weak have defeated the strong. In the Battle of Muye, Jiang Ziya's 100,000 troops annihilated 700,000 male soldiers; In the battle of Julu, 20,000 people of the overlord of Chu annihilated 400,000 enemies; In the battle of Liuhe, Zhao Kuangyin had 2,000 enemies and 20,000 enemies, and 5,000 enemies were annihilated...... Therefore, it is still unknown who will kill the deer. ”
"Sun Tzu's Art of War says that all those who fight will win with the right and the odd." Yun Kai said conclusively: "As soon as our strange soldiers come out, all reactionaries will become paper tigers, even if they are as strong as the Cui family, they will steal chickens and ...... rice."
