Chapter Forty-Nine: "We're Even! 】

Before the auction began, Zhou Jing returned to his seat.

All proceeds from this charity auction will be donated to this charitable organization. I don't know much about these charities, as if they are dedicated to helping patients with a particular type of disease.

As soon as the auction began, a table was quickly pushed up in front of it. There are three people presiding over the auction, and the middle one is a senior auctioneer specially invited from an auction house. It was a small man with a slight southern accent, but his voice was loud.

Interestingly, the other two hosts are both in the entertainment industry. One of them is a more famous TV host, and the other one is actually Minister Kim's female companion!

…… The beautiful woman who didn't wear panties......

I sighed, and thankfully she was wearing a long flock tonight...... Because she was standing on such a high platform, if the skirt was a little shorter, it would be a lot of fun!

Tonight's auction items are varied, including all kinds of jewelry, top designer clothing, top cars, and some antique calligraphy and paintings.

In particular, it is pointed out that all of these things were donated by some wealthy people.

The first lot is a vase from an official kiln of the Song Dynasty, and the reserve price is indicated to be 500,000 yuan.

Interestingly, this lot was sold for 1.5 million...... The winner of the bid was a middle-aged man sitting at a table in the first row.

After Kurayu's introduction, I learned that this was a wealthy businessman from the north, and interestingly, this vase was actually donated by him. And he bought the vase back for another 1.5 million yuan......

In fact, it is equivalent to donating 1.5 million yuan through the auction.

To be honest, I really can't figure it out...... This is really strange for rich people...... Since it is a donation, it is better to donate 1.5 million directly.

Why is it so complicated to play around in such a big circle?

But looking at that guy's smug expression in the admiration of everyone, I understood a lot.

In fact, for these rich people, this charity auction is just a game, showing off their wealth at the same time, throwing some money out, and gaining a good reputation. For example, this gentleman who spent money to buy back his donations...... Others will praise him for his generosity, boldness, and so on.

In fact, is he really generous?

When it comes to real thoughts...... Probably the idea of being in the limelight accounts for the vast majority, right?

It's not that I'm a villain.

Normally, I think that this kind of billionaires, who can make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year, will casually throw out millions to "generate" it...... In contrast, the kind of person who can only earn a few thousand yuan a year, but is willing to spend 100 yuan a month to do good deeds...... Which one is truly generous?

By comparison, the reason is actually quite clear.

An ordinary person may only be able to donate a few hundred yuan, but his entire money is probably only a few thousand yuan......

And a rich man, he may be able to donate millions at a time, but for him, this money is less than one thousandth......

Who is more "bold"??

I suddenly felt a little bored.

Tonight's so-called charity gala has become a little ridiculous in my heart......

It's just a bunch of rich people who throw a party, show off at the same time, and throw some money out of their fingers, and you can get a reputation for being philanthropic and philanthropic......

They drink the most expensive liquor, drive the most expensive cars, and wear the most expensive clothes......

It's just a farce.

To put it mildly...... If you look at the accounts of these rich people...... The figures of their usual tax evasion are probably far more than these "generous" donations!!

I was a little distracted, and then the second lot, a calligraphy and painting from the Qing Dynasty, was taken away. I didn't even look closely at the price.

Lot 3 is the diamond brooch that Fang Nan has a fancy.

This treasure from the famous European jewelry family of France Meike Jewelry Family, the reserve price is 200,000 yuan. When this lot was delivered, I noticed that Fang Nan's expression was obviously lifted, and his eyes showed a bit of brilliance, and there was a faint look of longing.

The host casually said something to stir up the atmosphere, and the auctioneer in the middle began to bid.

Obviously, this diamond brooch was very popular with some of the ladies present, and the price quickly rose to 300,000 yuan as soon as the auction began.

I saw Fang Nan hesitate for a moment, as if he was thinking about when to bid.

At this moment, a voice said steadily: "One million." ”

It was Zhou Jing who spoke, he leaned back in his chair, holding a wine glass in his hand, and pursed his lips and smiled. His voice wasn't loud, but in this quiet environment, most of the people in the banquet hall could hear it. The auctioneer on the stage was stunned for a moment, but he was a professional after all, and immediately calmed down. The two hosts began to make a fuss and exclaim.

Zhou Jing always had a calm smile on his face. After his bid, no one fought with him anymore.

In fact, it's not that Zhou Jing is the richest person here.

The reason is actually very simple: although this brooch is very precious, according to calculations, its true value is only about 400,000. Even if it is an auction, if it can be auctioned for 500,000 yuan, there is basically no potential.

Now that these rich people know the true value of something, naturally no one will be willing to spend a million to buy something that is only worth 400,000.

And the second reason: tonight is a charity auction after all, and everyone has no anger, just to make a show on the spot and cheer for this auction, there is no need to fight with bayonets.

Many rich people who were originally interested in this brooch saw Zhou Jing's bid, and some people knew Zhou Jing, so they didn't compete with him. And some people, even if they don't know Zhou Jing and see the two stunning beauties sitting next to him, they should guess that he is bidding for beauties. On this occasion, why bother to lose face with beautiful women?

In the midst of admiration, Zhou Jing won the diamond brooch.

Fang Nan sighed, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. I know she's sorry she didn't get it.

Cangyu, on the other hand, turned his face sideways and looked at me deeply.

The fourth lot is a string of blue diamond necklaces, this time the competition is more fierce, the original value of 150,000 yuan, was fried to nearly 500,000 before falling the hammer. The necklace was given to a young woman from the north, whose origin seems to be quite mysterious.

Finally, when the fifth lot came to the stage, I was shocked!

"Thank you Mr. Herod from Europe for your generous donation! Mr. Herode's reputation for generosity is well known all over the world, and it is a great honour for us to have Mr. Herode's support for today's auction! The head of the charity came to the stage and said a few words.

I have to say that the level of European ship kings is a few levels higher than that of most of the rich people here. And for the charity, being favored by the European ship king is equivalent to establishing a connection with the generous ship king from then on, how can you not say more good things at this time?

I stole a glance at Zhou Jing, his face was as usual, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He did not participate in the first two rounds of bidding, until the price had soared from the reserve price of 1 million to 1.4 million, and the number of competitors gradually decreased, and Zhou Jing made the right offer.

"One million six hundred thousand."

Obviously, Zhou Jing should be a very good bidder, and he has a lot of experience. It has been calculated that the approximate transaction price of this ring will be around 1.6 million. It's a psychological price point! Beyond this price, many competitors will choose to retreat sensibly.

"One million and seven million." The bidder was a man in a light suit sitting on the right side of the first row, with a very small mustache. While bidding, he turned back and smiled at Zhou Jing friendly. It seems that the two know each other.

Zhou Jing nodded at him, and then said quietly: "One million and nine hundred thousand." ”

The mustache in a light suit shook his head and glanced at Zhou Jing again: "Two million." ”

Zhou Jingshen calmly: "Two and two hundred thousand." ”

The mustache thought for a while, turned around and smiled at Zhou Jing, closed his mouth, and chose to give up.

The auctioneer took a deep breath, asked three times in a row at a fast speed, and was about to drop the hammer in his hand when a soft voice suddenly came from the corner:

"Three million."

The audience was in an uproar!

Three million may not be such a huge number, but it is ...... to spend three million to buy a ring To be honest, most of the so-called rich people present have not yet reached that level.

A hint of haze flashed on Zhou Jing's face, and he frowned slightly, only then did he return to normal, and said in a deep voice: "Three million and one million." ”

But this time the voice in the corner reacted faster!

"Four million."

It's still a soft voice.

And I was stunned!

This voice is undoubtedly familiar to me!

I almost tried my best to hold the xìngzi so that I didn't stand up, but tried to search with my eyes in the direction in which I was speaking.

Sure enough, I finally saw a slender figure sitting alone at a table in the corner, one slender arm supporting the table, and the other white palm seemed to be playing with his hair boringly.

There was a hint of a charming smile on that beautiful face...... She smiled so innocently, but I immediately saw something strange in her eyes!

Yes, it's her smile! A touching smile, but there is always a hint of wisdom and cunning in his eyes.

Yang Wei!

It's actually Yang Wei!!

Sure enough, it was Yang Wei!!

•;

Zhou Jing also saw Yang Wei, his face suddenly changed a little strangely, he seemed to be a little surprised and a little hesitant, but then a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes!

"Four million and one million."

I noticed that Zhou Jing's breathing no longer seemed to be so calm. Although the look on his face was still calm, only the people sitting next to him could see the slightest change in him!

Yang Wei still played with his hair with his fingers, smiled at Zhou Jing, showed his white teeth, and then said lightly: "Five million." ”

A sigh of shock!

I saw that the auctioneer on the stage was already sweating, and the two hosts were completely speechless. Especially the beautiful woman who didn't wear panties, there was a strange brilliance in her eyes.

Zhou Jing took a deep breath, and the smile on his face was already a little reluctant: "Five million and one million." ”

At this time, I saw Yang pouting slightly, then laughed, blinked, raised the wine glass in front of him and made a toast to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing smiled reluctantly, picked up the cup, and gestured to Yang Weiyao.

Then Yang Wei dropped the wine glass, stood up and made a strange gesture to Zhou Jing, ignoring the eyes of everyone in the audience, and turned around and walked towards the door.

"Five million and 1 million deals!" The auctioneer almost couldn't wait to knock down the hammer hard.

Zhou Jing's face was indifferent, and his eyes were a little cold! I noticed that his fingers were pinching the cup so hard that even his knuckles were a little white!

It dawned on me: no!

If it is said that the bidding for this ring is started, Zhou Jing's purpose is for Fang Nan...... Now, then, it's clearly not!

For a woman you meet for the first time, spend more than five million in one go?

Zhou Jing is not so stupid! Even if he is very romantic and willing to spend money for women, he is not so generous!

Then the reason is Yang Wei!

Looking at Zhou Jing's expression, there seemed to be some faint helplessness, as if he had to continue bidding...... There seems to be a kind of helplessness......

What does Yang Wei's last gesture mean?

Luckily, someone has already helped me with my questions.

It was Fang Nan who spoke, and she seemed a little curious: "Mr. Zhou, that young lady, do you know each other?" Her last gesture was to congratulate you on your successful bid? ”

Zhou Jing had some cold sweat on his forehead and shook his head slowly.

Cangyu suddenly spoke, her eyes were a little strange, and she said in a low voice: "That gesture of hers seems to mean: We are even." ”
