The first auction of the first lot begins, which is one of Mr. Shaw's favorite snuff bottles, which was also one of the favorite snuff bottles of the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and later fell into the hands of Mr. Run Run Shaw. Adhering to the legacy of Mr. Run Run Shaw, Ms. Fong Yat Wah has been dedicated to charity, and all the proceeds from the snuff bottle auction will be donated to the Huaxia Yuqing Charity Foundation to improve the school and living conditions of children in remote mountainous areas. The female master of ceremonies held a pale yellow snuff bottle painted with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes.

Li Haoyu was stunned, he didn't expect that Ms. Fang Yihua would donate all the money from the auction of Mr. Run Run Shaw's snuff bottle to Yuqing Charity Foundation, which was really a great encouragement, he immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Ms. Fang Yihua, and said: "Thank you Ms. Fang Yihua for your love, Yuqing Charity Foundation will definitely use all this donation to improve the teaching conditions and living conditions of schools in mountainous areas, and I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to you on behalf of the children who have been helped." ”

There was a burst of applause in the living room of the villa, and everyone turned their eyes to Li Haoyu, with different expressions in their eyes.

"This is a floral snuff bottle, the process is nesting, colorful and gorgeous, it is a rare boutique. Legend has it that this snuff bottle Kangxi the Great is also the most favorite, often held in his hand to play, and later Kangxi passed away after it was stored in the inner library, until later when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, it was lost, and it fell into the hands of Mr. Run Run Shaw several times. The auction of this snuff bottle is now open, according to Ms. Fang Yihua's opinion, the starting price of all the lots tonight is one Hong Kong dollar, and I hope that friends will actively bid and make their own contribution to charity. The auctioneer finished such a long sentence in one breath, which shows that he has a deep skill for this auction.

The emcee repeated this passage in Mandarin, and the auction really began.

"I paid 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, this snuffbox is really lovely!" A middle-aged man sitting in the middle spoke first.

The items in this kind of charity auction are generally not allowed to be inspected in front of the stage, and as soon as the voice of the female master of ceremonies fell, someone immediately began to shout the price, and the starting price was 100,000 times the starting price.

"Li Dong, are you interested in this snuff bottle, if you are interested, I will buy it and give it to you to play with, this snuff bottle is still very good, I used to see the old gentleman when I was a child, and he liked to play with this snuff bottle the most at that time." Wu Wenchang on the side said doggedly, as if he had changed all of a sudden after being slapped in the face by Li Haoyu, and the previous bad habits had changed overnight.

Li Haoyu said lightly: "Wu Gongzi, don't bother you to buy it, since the money from the auction of this snuff bottle was donated to the Yuqing Charity Foundation by Ms. Fang Yihua, it is most suitable for me to buy it myself." ”

Wu Wenchang smiled, didn't say anything anymore, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Dan, and suddenly felt that marrying this little beauty who was still a little young was also a good choice, at least he could go out to spend time drinking in the future, without worrying about a fire in his backyard.

"My dear master, the market price of this kind of snuff bottle is generally around 80,000 to 100,000 yuan, but considering the celebrity effect and other circumstances, the price should be around 200,000 to 250,000 yuan." I can't see that Xiaoyu also has an understanding of the market price of antiques like snuff bottles.

As Xiao Yu said, there are relatively few people who increase the price of this snuff bottle after 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, everyone is a businessman, and they still know a lot about the embodiment of value. Spending money to buy this snuff bottle will not only lose money for yourself, but will also be laughed at by your business colleagues on the scene, who feel that he has no vision.

"Mr. Liu has already bid 220,000 Hong Kong dollars, and there is no one who bids higher than Mr. Liu, otherwise Mr. Run Run Shaw's favorite snuff bottle will belong to Mr. Liu." The auctioneer looked around and said loudly.

Many people looked at Li Haoyu, after all, the money from the auction of this snuff bottle was donated to his Yuqing Charity Foundation, and he didn't say that he really didn't want to go.

Li Haoyu said slowly at this time: "I'll pay one million Hong Kong dollars!" Xie Lu Xie Xie for the relationship with Yuqing Charity Foundation, if you have time, you are welcome to visit the mountain city to invest. ”

As soon as Li Haoyu's price came out, no one bid anymore, after all, this price has exceeded the actual price of this snuff bottle by five or six times. In addition, Li Haoyu seems to be determined to win this snuffbox, and they are not willing to continue to fight, otherwise it will become vicious competition.

"Li Dong is really generous!" Wu Wenchang was smiling and patting his ass.

Li Haoyu is really helpless against this cheeky boy, with him here, it is impossible for him to sit close to Xiao Yuqing and them.

"The second lot is a lotus picture made by Mr. Qi Baishi in his 80s donated by Mr. Li Ka-shing, this painting and the lotus picture auctioned by Yanjing Poly International Auction Company in 2011 are two paintings, we now say that the painting we see can be said to be the last painting of Mr. Qi Baishi during his lifetime, and it has never been circulated in the market, and the collection value is extremely high. The auction starts at HK$1 and everyone is welcome to bid and contribute to charity. ”

Li Haoyu looked at the auctioneer and the female master of ceremonies unfolded the painting scroll in their hands, a picture scroll about one meter long and half a meter wide appeared in front of them, two lotus leaves in full bloom and a half-opened flower bone, two fish under the lotus leaves are swimming freely, Li Haoyu Rao is not very familiar with calligraphy and painting, but when he sees this painting, he also feels that there is a deep charm in it.

"I'll pay 1,000,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Someone directly raised the starting price by a million times.

This time, the bidding will be much more enthusiastic, with Li Ka-shing's character, it is absolutely impossible to come up with a fake to fool everyone, plus Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting have always been very famous in the collection world, so the amount and speed of the bid are much faster than the last time.

"Five million Hong Kong dollars!"

"I'll pay 5.5 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Seven million Hong Kong dollars!"

……

The price has climbed all the way and has approached 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Zhang Dan was stunned to look at this ever-increasing price, she really didn't expect that someone would have such a painting, even if this painting was painted by a celebrity, at such a high price, would these people have the money to this extent, willing to spend so much money to buy a painting.

Xiao Yuqing took Zhang Dan's hand and said: "Dandan, this price is normal, Master Qi Baishi's paintings have always been treasures that people are very happy to collect, and last time there was a painting of his that was auctioned for 12 million yuan." ”

Zhang Dan asked curiously: "Is this painting really so valuable?" ”

Xiao Yuqing said: "Of course, if you buy it for more than 10 million now, it may be worth 20 million in more than ten years!" ”

Zhang Dan nodded as if he didn't understand, and continued to look at this auction.

Wu Wenchang asked Li Haoyu: "Li Dong, are you interested in this painting this time?" ”

Li Haoyu said: "I'm not as good as them, I'm just a layman, and I'm not very interested in these paintings and calligraphy." "Although he has already heard of Master Qi Baishi's name, he is really unwilling to let him spend one or two hundred million to buy such a painting.

Typical smallholder thinking!

"Fourteen million Hong Kong dollars!" It was Chen Xiangjian who shouted, and Li Haoyu saw that the flesh on his body trembled when he walked, but he didn't see that he still had this elegant bone.

After a moment of silence, no one raised the price anymore, and 14 million Hong Kong dollars was already the limit for this painting. It is obviously irrational to increase the price again, it will exceed the value of the painting itself, everyone here is a successful person, and no one will have trouble with money.

"Fourteen million Hong Kong dollars for the first time, there is no one to raise the price, 14 million Hong Kong dollars for the second time, no one has increased the price of this pair of Qi Baishi's life The last painting will belong to Mr. Chen, 14 million Hong Kong dollars for the third time, congratulations to Mr. Chen, this last painting of Master Qi Baishi will belong to you!" The auctioneer finally dropped the hammer in his hand after seeing that no one was bidding anymore.

This time the charity auction is still going on, and the later lots are much worse than this lotus picture by Master Qi Baishi, basically worth hundreds of thousands to one million Hong Kong dollars, Li Haoyu also auctioned two interesting gadgets, ready to give them to Xiao Yuqing and Zhang Dan.

Halfway through the auction house, the three old men left, their coming here was only a symbolic meaning in itself, and they couldn't stand sitting for too long when they were old, and no one would say anything if they left early.

After more than an hour of conduct, the auction house finally ended, and the female emcee walked to the stage and said emotionally: "Thank you for your donations, this charity auction has raised a total of 34.5 million Hong Kong dollars for the skin cancer research team of Caritas Hong Kong, and I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you on behalf of the research team and all skin cancer patients in the world." ”

Everyone in the hall of the villa stood up and applauded.

Wu Xinmin walked over at this time and said, "Dong Li, it's still early tonight, I don't know if you are free?" ”

Li Haoyu frowned, he didn't know what he meant, and when he was about to speak, the mobile phone rang at this time, and Li Haoyu said apologetically: "Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first." ”

The call was made by Wang Jingshi, Li Haoyu took two steps and connected the phone, "Chairman, no, the news just came that several players have sued our Mythical Group to the court!" ”
