Li Zhaoji was in his eighties, his body was still quite tough, he walked to the front of the case, said a few ordinary opening words, and then counted the names of the guests who participated in the charity auction as thanks, and the people whose names he mentioned seemed to be honored, and stood up one by one and nodded to the people in the venue

Li Zhaoji spoke Cantonese, although the speed of speech was very slow, but Qiao Ling, who had only learned a few words of ordinary Cantonese, obviously did not have enough vocabulary, listened to it with her ears pricked up for a long time, and still didn't understand a word, all relying on Yuxing to help her translate, otherwise she didn't know when she should applaud and echo

Fortunately, Hong Kong people are pragmatic, and after a few minutes of brief speech, Lee announced the official start of the charity auction

Although it was only a social auction, it was also very formal, and a number of chief auctioneers from the previous auctions in the East Tsim Sha Tsui area were invited

When the auctioneer came on stage, he and the emcee introduced the auction to the people seated in the room, and it was obvious that the auction would be conducted by the two of them

The first item is auctioned below, this lot is provided by Mr. Lee Siu Kee, it is a pocket watch used by Mr. Lee's father, the watch was produced in 1932, it is the third generation of Longines products, and the most important thing is that this pocket watch is a memory of Mr. Lee's mourning for his father, more than the pocket watch itself......

The auctioneer used Hong Kong-style Mandarin, which made Qiao Ling greatly relieved, if she still listened to Cantonese, it would be better to communicate in English, and although Hong Kong-style Mandarin is still different from standard Mandarin, she can understand more than 85% of the content by herself, Yuxing can not care about the rich people around her, but she can't not be unscrupulous, and the words that are always whispering to Yuxing are easy to offend

Okay, let's start the auction now, according to Mr. Li's intentions, the starting price of all lots tonight is 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, please increase the price enthusiastically, and make a modest contribution to charity

After the auctioneer finished talking about this, the bidding did not start immediately, and the female emcee spoke the Mandarin in Cantonese again, it is undeniable that some of the rich people of the older generation have no cultural level even up to high school, but this does not prevent them from making a fortune with a unique vision and a solid and hard-working style, and fighting for their own world, but now Hong Kong Island has returned to the embrace of the motherland for many years, and this friendship charity auction is also famous, so Li Zhaoji instructed the auctioneer to set the main tone in Mandarin, and then with the translation of the female emcee, it is all covered

After the emcee finished explaining, the auctioneer announced loudly: The auction is open

As soon as the words fell, a bald old man in the front row said loudly: 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy this pocket watch of Lao Li's family......

The auctioneer quickly entered the role and said loudly: Good No. 9 VIP bid 50,000 yuan, and there is no one who has bid

The objects in this kind of charity auction are generally not expensive, and the goods are relatively small, and there are fewer fakes, and the rich people value not the items, but at the same time to make a contribution to charity, and at the same time start their good reputation in the upper class, so they use hundreds of thousands of millions to buy a good name, in the eyes of these rich people, it is not only a good accumulation, but also a very cost-effective

Yuxing's thoughts are different from theirs, no one knows whether there is such a thing as Yin De, and he doesn't care, but he is still happy to help those poor people within the scope of his ability, provided that he can use the lot, instead of casually getting an old toothbrush, he will ask him hundreds of thousands, which is not only useless and not cost-effective, although hundreds of thousands of money have been made for charity, but this charity has been blocked by the toothbrush, and it is not appropriate to donate money and donate it to himself

Take this first lot as an example, Yuxing Xiaoduo and the two of them can't wear Patek Philippe, so how can they use this pocket watch, so Yuxing has already rejected it at the first glance when he sees the lot, and now someone is shouting a high price to make Yuxing famous, Yuxing is even more lazy to compete with the other party for this voice, he came to this auction to focus on charity, not to compare his wealth with others

I'll give 100,000 ...... At this time, there was another lady in the front row shouting the price...,

If you want to say that when it is 50,000, Yuxing may still ask for a price, but the price has climbed to 100,000, and he doesn't even have a price, if you ask him to donate money directly, it doesn't matter, the key is to take it back, and you can't throw it away on the spot, which makes people a little annoyed

The 11th VIP bid 100,000 yuan, and there is a price increase, but you don't pay attention, this is not taking a pocket watch, but doing charity...... From time to time, incendiary words pop out of the auctioneer's mouth, and you know that if you give more love here, maybe one more out-of-school child can sit in the classroom

It is worthy of being the leading auctioneer of many calendars, the price of 100,000 yuan is actually a bit inflated, but as soon as he said a few words, the atmosphere of the scene immediately became lively, and some people directly shouted out the high price of 200,000 yuan, and even Qiao Ling asked for advice: Husband, do we have more money to auction this watch

You like that table of stars

It's not that I just want to donate more, after it became clear that Yuxing has a net worth of hundreds of millions (a dime), Qiaoling's careful thinking is not as heavy as before

Just as the two were talking, the price had risen to 330,000 yuan, and the scene was also cold, this price actually exceeded the value of the pocket watch itself, too much, the rich people gradually became rational and charitable, and they were unwilling to pay a higher price to buy an old watch that was not used at all

Good No. 6 VIP bid 330,330,000 once

Ice

Three hundred and thirty thousand twice

It's still cold

330,000 ...... The auctioneer on the stage deliberately dragged it out for a while

A trace of hesitation flashed in Qiao Ling's eyes, and Yuxing saw through her thoughts, and connived: If my wife wants to shout, just shout, I'll pay the bill

With Yuxing's guarantee, Qiao Ling took the number plate in his hand without hesitation and raised it and shouted: 350,000

Good 31st VIP bid 350,000 and there is no bidding

Obviously not, even the guy who paid 330,000 before was slightly relieved

Soon the auctioneer shouted: ...... 350,000 yuan for the third sale, knocking down the hammer heavily, congratulations to this lady, you have dedicated your love to the children in the mainland, and please come to the stage to receive the items you have auctioned

This obviously has the meaning of donating on the spot, in which Qiao Ling was dumbfounded, not to mention, even Yuxing was a little dumbfounded, because he had a few bank cards with him, although the money in the cards added up to hundreds of millions, but he did not see the death machine used to swipe the card at the scene

However, Florine was ready to take out the checkbook of the Standard Chartered Bank, and signed a cash check for 350,000 Hong Kong dollars in a few strokes, tore it off and handed it to Qiao Ling: Mrs. can use this

Qiao Ling thanked her and took the check to the stage, and after the auctioneer checked her check, she motioned to the female master of ceremonies to hand over the pocket watch to her

After the handover, when Qiaoling walked off the stage, the auctioneer raised his voice again: Thank you for this lady's loving donation, let's thank her together, and before her words fell, Yuxing and Li Zhaoji took the lead in standing ovation, followed by the rich people all stood up and applauded

350,000 yuan to buy an old pocket watch is worth it, the rich people here know better than anyone else that the reason why they applaud is to praise Qiaoling's charity and love, after all, this girl with Zhong Lingyu is wearing a Patek Philippe worth more than one million in her hand, and she will definitely not use an old pocket watch

Of course, there are two sides to everything in this world, and the older generation thinks that this is Qiaoling giving love, but most of the young people who stand and watch the excitement in the back disdain

Relying on obviously wearing Patek Philippe, she insisted on spending more than 300,000 yuan to shoot a broken thing, and came back, this stupid girl has a lot of money to burn

Who's to say it's not, but she's pretty good-looking

If you want to soak it, you can't even afford half a strap with hundreds of thousands of pocket flowers per month

……

Even among the VIP seats with the most enthusiastic applause, there was a muttering sound: What are you dragging can't you just buy an old pocket watch, the old lady is not rare, although there is a lot of applause around, but this muttering is not clear to others, Yuxing can hear it clearly, it is Zhen Xian...,

didn't pay attention to this girl, Yuxing didn't care, she waited for Qiaoling to return to her place, and the two of them sat down and got together again

Soon, the second lot revealed its true face, it was a late Qing style gemstone necklace, with jadeite and agate, it looked nondescript, but in terms of the value of its raw materials, it could also be worth some money, much better than the pocket watch that Qiao Ling had just taken, after all, the watchmaking machinery of that era, even if it was refined, it was impossible to maintain the pocket watch movement for seventy or eighty years without damage, and this gemstone necklace could be worth some money as long as it was properly preserved in any age

However, Yuxing and the couple, who had just auctioned one item, did not plan to shoot a second item in a row, so they didn't have much heart to bargain for this round

But they don't have a mind, it doesn't mean that others don't have a mind, and they don't have a lot of effort, and the gemstone necklace has climbed from the reserve price of 1,000 to a high of 370,000 Hong Kong dollars, I have to say that even if a calm person is sometimes, he also has a heart of comparison, when he heard the auctioneer quote the price of 370,000, several wealthy people nearby glanced at Qiao Ling intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to see if she was still bidding, Qiao Ling, this girl was also a little weak, although she did not shout the price, she stretched her neck, looking forward to someone shouting a price that was a lot higher, then she didn't have to bother

Unexpectedly, Yuxing thought that Qiao Ling had taken a fancy to this gemstone necklace again, so he sacrificed his exploration technique to see what the quality of this chain was, whether it was worth asking for a price or something

In Yuxing's heart, if this necklace has a value of 0.1, it will definitely not be a loss if it is taken within 10 million, who knows, this does not look at it, I don't know, I was startled by one of the stones on this gem necklace that is very similar to agate, and the value detected is 2347.6 (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for (.)
