Chapter 213: Charity Auction
As time passed, more and more people entered the conference hall, Yi Zhenyuan and several children of the Yi family also walked in, many people got up to say hello when they saw Yi Zhenyuan, and Yi Zhenyuan also responded very old-fashionedly.
Everyone in the Yi family walked to Yi Pengfei's seat and sat down next to Yi Pengfei on the left side of the first row.
The people who entered the Li family and the Cao family were the next to sit on the right side of the first row.
When the first family of the Tang family came in, the scene suddenly became a sensation, the Tang family is not only the first family in the capital, but also occupies the third position in the domestic rich list, its head Tang Wanshun, black and white, both official and military backgrounds, is a well-known powerful figure in the country, and has great appeal in the business world.
The order of the four major families is that the Tang family is the first, the Li family is second, the Yi family is third, and the Cao family is fourth.
Compared with the appearance of Tang Wanshun, the scenery of several other family heads was all overshadowed, and countless people stood up to applaud and welcome, and the scene was very sensational.
Tang Wanshun is nearly eighty years old, wearing large-framed glasses, average body height, wearing a suit and tie, smiling and smiling, he doesn't look out of the ordinary, but he is full of affinity, and it is easy for people to have a good impression.
Everyone in the Tang family sat on the left side of the first row, not far from the Yi family, and there were still ten seats left in the middle of the first row, Yi Tian was a little curious, so he asked: "Brother Guo, do you know who those seats are reserved for?" ”
Guo Fatzi replied: "The middle five of a row are reserved for the leaders of the Ministry of Commerce, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the city, and the other few seats are reserved for the leaders of non-governmental organizations such as business associations, by the way." There was also a seat that had been empty for many years, and I don't know what was going on. ”
Empty for many years?
Yi Tian frowned slightly and said, "Isn't Tang Wanshun ranked third on the list of the richest people in China?" He sat aside, not to give the first. The second richest man kept? ”
"No, I heard the news that they didn't come this year, and even when they came, the seat was empty, and many people had a lot of speculation about the empty seat, but there was no definite news."
Then came in one after another, the top businessmen in China, all of whom were leaders in various industries, and they all found their seats in the first row.
That's when it happened. Yi Tian saw an acquaintance, "Huh? She's really good at joining in the fun. ”
Guo Fatzi looked in the direction of Yi Tian and found that Yi Tian was staring at a woman, "Who is that?" ”
"A friend, when I have time to introduce you, it is very beneficial to make friends with her, but it is too expensive, and every time I ask people to have coffee." Yi Tian's face was full of smiles.
As he spoke, a lot of people came in. It seems that they all have a lot of origins, and it is the official leaders of the Ministry of Commerce, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and other official leaders, followed by some presidents of non-governmental organizations and other figures.
Among them, there are several district chiefs of Yanjing, namely the head of Luo. The head of the Guan district, the head of the criminal district, when he saw a person he didn't know next to several people. Yi Tian asked, "That is also the district head?" ”
"Well, his name is Yang Wanli. He is the oldest among the district chiefs and is more pragmatic. It belongs to the practical type. ”
Yang Wanli is fifty-six years old, of average height, wearing glasses with a high degree, slightly thinner, with loose hair, blown up by fluffy, if you don't know his identity, I think he is a scholar with profound knowledge.
The crowd kept entering, and at this moment, a middle-aged couple walked in, and when they saw the appearance of the middle-aged woman, Yi Tian suddenly frowned, "Ding Lian!" ”
Ding Lian is tall, with a dignified face, long hair coiled up, and the overall temperament is very temperamental, she looks like she is thirty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a black professional attire, and she has the demeanor of a strong woman. After Ding Lian and his wife came in, they sat in the middle row.
Now that the other party is here, Yi Tian feels that it is easy to do, and when the conference is over, whether it is casting spells or using force, he must get the answer to what he wants to know in the other party's mouth!
When the participants arrive, the conference officially begins, starting with the official delegates, and then the business associations presiding over the agenda.
Time flies, the meeting from nine o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock, it began the most important part of the conference, the awarding of various business awards, including ten outstanding entrepreneurs, ten new star entrepreneurs, what I didn't expect is that Guo Fatzi actually in the ranks of new star entrepreneurs, when he read his name, he didn't react for a while, plus his position was too far from the stage, and he waited for a long time, making a lot of jokes.
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon, soothing music plays in the ballroom, hundreds of round tables are filled with exquisite food, many business elites are seated, few people move chopsticks to eat, and they are chatting with each other.
Yi Tian also did not sit with the Yi family, but found a central position with Guo Fatzi and Lu Yao and sat down.
Find time, Yi Tian introduced the two to each other, but he did not reveal his identity as a deacon of the Shenfeng Gate, everyone in the Shenfeng Gate, each unit is very independent, and they must abide by strict confidentiality terms, except for knowing the circle of people they belong to, they don't know the other people in the Dao, even if Yi Tian has reached the position of deacon, he only knows the true identity of less than one-third of the foreign affairs personnel in the capital, these people are under his jurisdiction, if there is any major matter, they must be reported to him at the first level, He wouldn't bother with some small things, so he left them all to Lu Yao to take care of.
And across the table from Yi Tian were Ding Lian and his wife, and Yi Tian could just see Ding Lian's face.
There is a big screen and a host stage at the front of the banquet hall, after the banquet was held for a while, several staff members walked to the stage, and a middle-aged man said: "Hello distinguished guests, welcome to participate in the charity auction of this business conference, today's lots of lots, are donated free of charge by many caring people and some units, you can also donate on the spot and auction in time, today's auction proceeds will be used for infrastructure in remote mountainous areas, education and poverty alleviation projects, and I hope you can spare no money, Give your share of love......"
Just when the host was gushing, Lu Yao said with a smile: "Yi Tian." Don't you want to donate something and give love? ”
"I don't really have anything to donate. If I were to donate money, I would have considered it. However, I prefer to use the money directly in our backing village to do something for my poor villagers. Yi Tian smiled and asked, "Sister Lu Yao, don't you donate something?" ”
"Me? Hehe, this is not a place for me to show off, how can I take a good shot, if it is really a donation, I can donate it directly, find a big boss, and I don't need to work so hard to make money. ”
Guo Fatzi and Yi Tian both showed funny expressions. Yi Tian asked curiously: "Sister Lu Yao, don't blame me for being too talkative, you have so many cafes, you should make a lot of money, this is not enough, what do you want so much money for?" ”
"It's a secret, I need a lot of money anyway."
Yi Tian nodded and said no more, everyone will have some unknown secrets, and turn their heads. He looked at Guo Fatzi and asked, "Brother Guo, this charity auction is about to start, will there be a phenomenon of temporary donations?" ”
"Of course it will appear, tell you. The highlight is here, the rich businessmen from all over the country are here, and this is the time to show their faces. It's not just the top rich who compete with each other in the name of charity, but even some humble businessmen want to be noticed here. Show off and raise your reputation. Look, a lot of things will be on display in a while, maybe there will be something you like, and when the time comes, you'll have to take a closer look. Guo Fatzi knew that Yi Tian was picking up leaks, so he reminded him.
"Then I'm really going to have to open my eyes, and I hope there's something I can use." As soon as the words fell, Yi Tian picked up the apple on the table and ate it.
At this time, the auctioneer and two assistants came up to the stage, briefly talked, and began to introduce the lots, "Today's first charity lot is the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting master Lin Mingfeng's Dapeng wings ink painting, donated by Zhao Xihai and Mr. Zhao, please give applause." ”
The venue was a little dim, and as soon as the spotlight hit, it was projected on Zhao Xihai, and when many applause rang out, he got up and looked around and nodded with a polite smile.
After the applause fell, the auctioneer said: "This picture of Dapeng spreading its wings, the starting price is 500,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan each time, please bid!" ”
There is a microphone on each table, and when you say it aloud to the table, the audience can hear it.
"I'll give 550,000!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"I'll give 700,000!"
“……”
When someone raised their hands to bid, the spotlight would hit this person, and the price rose all the way, and soon reached 900,000 yuan, and it was auctioned.
"Congratulations to this gentleman on winning the auction and thank you for your love for the charity event! Okay, let's ...... now."
As he spoke, a staff member came to the stage with an item in his hand and handed the host a note, and the host interrupted the auctioneer after reading it, "Wait! ”
The host took two steps forward and said: "Just now someone donated an item for this charity auction, according to the process, the items donated in time will be auctioned, the donor is Dong Wei, Mr. Dong, and the donation is the remnant sword of the Qin Dynasty......"
Remnant Sword?
When they heard these two words, many people frowned, if they don't donate good things, how can they donate a broken sword, it's too unlucky.
However, there is still applause and spotlight as it should be, Dong Wei is a middle-aged man in his early forties, his reputation is not obvious, and he probably just wants to show his face in the charity auction.
The remnant sword was only picked up after being inspected by professionals, and it was determined that it was the Qin Dynasty, and after it was taken up, it appeared very clearly on the big screen through the imaging equipment.
The sword was only half as long as normal, with some rust on it, no handle, no markings, and nothing peculiar to be seen.
Yi Tian glanced at it disapprovingly, suddenly frowned, and then quickly opened the Tianyan Pass, looked at it for a while, and said secretly in surprise, "This sword is too fierce, if you let ordinary people buy it, it is estimated that it will be killed sooner or later, in addition to the anger and murderous aura on it, how many people have to kill to save it to this day, and the breath is not reduced?" The murderous aura rushed out, it was simply used to kill the gods, the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty...... Damn, it won't be Bai Qi's Killing God Sword, right? ”
