Lin Qiangsheng and Du Ping walked into the auction hall under the guidance of the waiter, looked around, and saw that many people had sat down, and some people were standing around and talking softly, there were two open doors in the venue, and many people walked in under the guidance of the waiter, it seems that the auction of the Plaza Hotel is indeed very attractive.

Just as the two of them were about to go to the reserved seat under the guidance of the waiter, someone suddenly called him behind Lin Qiangsheng.

"Mr. Lin?"

Lin Qiangsheng turned around and saw a middle-aged white man he didn't know, looking at him curiously.

The white man was about 40 years old, with sparse blonde hair, and when he saw Lin Qiangsheng clearly, he immediately introduced himself with a smile and said, "Oh, it's really you!" You're the owner of the Saturn Motor Company, and now you've acquired AMC, a consortium that has become the new fourth-largest car company in the United States, and you also own companies like Eastern Star Semiconductor, Compaq Computer, and Dell Computer! ”

The man burst out a long list of company names, and at the same time, his high-pitched voice also attracted the attention of many people around him, many American celebrities and dignitaries present, as well as tourists who came to stay at the Plaza Hotel, all looked at this side.

Lin Qiangsheng was a little stunned, he quickly changed into a standard smile, nodded to the middle-aged man and said, "May I ask who you are?" ”

At this time, he was actually scolding in his heart, your surname, you have to hang me all down, what's wrong with this?

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Qiangsheng back and forth, glanced at Du Ping next to him, and said excitedly: "I'm a columnist for Time Magazine, Kgremman!" ”

"Oh!" Lin Qiangsheng let out a long sigh of oh, and said to Kgrumman, who was inexplicably excited to look at him: "I have also read your articles, your relevant comments on the economic policies of countries around the world, and some articles on the future economy of the world are very insightful!" ”

In fact, Kgreman is not only writing about the world's major powers, as far as Lin Qiangsheng knows, this person has also written a lot of articles criticizing China. Chinese. Anti. Common. Molecule.

Kgremman's eyes lit up and flickered, and he said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Does Mr. Lin think some of my articles about China are also good?" What are your thoughts on this? ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, not intending to be buried in the trap left by Kgremman, so he said, "You must know that I was born in China and grew up there. I started my business at a very young age, and I was very concerned about the economic side, and at the moment the economy between the United States and China is expanding rapidly, and I have investments all over the world, but both countries are especially important. I am very optimistic about the future relationship between the United States and China, and I also believe that it will develop for the better, and I expect that the total economic scale of the two countries will continue to rise, which no one can stop! ”

After speaking, he nodded to Du Ping, who was standing beside him, gestured to Kgreman for a moment, and then walked towards his seat.

Kgreman hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, I'm going to give you an interview, do you have time this week, let's make an appointment!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng thought about it, under the gaze of so many people around him. It's impossible for him to refuse, Time Magazine's face is still very big, besides, he also wants to be high-profile today, sometimes it's not good to be too low-key, there are always some people who don't treat him as a person!

So, Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said to Kgremman: "It's okay in the near future." ”

Kgreman took out a small notebook, flipped through it to Lin Qiangsheng and said with a smile: "I originally had an appointment tomorrow, but I am willing to push off this appointment for the purpose of interviewing Mr. Lin, can you please come to my studio at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Here's my business card! ”

Lin Qiangsheng took the business card and nodded, and also gave Krumman a business card of his own, and the two agreed to meet at Kgoneman's studio at ten o'clock tomorrow morning for an exclusive interview.

and Du Ping sat down in their seats. Lin Qiangsheng said to her: "Do you know this Kgremman? ”

Du Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know, who is he?" You seem to know each other very well! ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "Familiar, the people here are just pretending to be friendly!" In the future, you have to be like this, no matter what you think in your heart, but you must keep a smile on your face, otherwise a small storm will immediately become lace news in the newspaper! ”

Du Ping nodded knowingly. Leaned closer to Lin Qiangsheng's side and said, "I feel so tired, but I can learn to deal with it." ”

"Come on, you can do it!" Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, this gave Du Ping a lot of encouragement, she also smiled and nodded, the bright woman attracted the attention of many people.

The auction soon began, and the host and auctioneer walked up to the stage and said some words of welcome, and the audience burst into applause.

Immediately afterwards, the host said: "In 83, there was one of the worst droughts in Africa, which affected most of the countries in black Africa and caused the displacement of tens of millions of people, so the Plaza Hotel held many charity auctions for Africa.

Since the auction was held, many people have donated generously, including many celebrities and ordinary people, all of whom have given their love for African refugees!

The organizers of the Plaza Hotel are very grateful to all of you, and thank you to all of you who have come to this auction, and even more so to the good people who provided the lots, thank you!

I declare that all proceeds from this auction will be used for relief in Africa, and all proceeds will be used to purchase food for the disaster-stricken areas.

We welcome all of you to bid, and we invite you to enjoy our bids in this auction! ”

In the applause, the organizers successively displayed more than 30 lots. Of course, there is nothing valuable about the lots that raise money for, and the world's famous paintings will certainly not appear on this occasion.

Lin Qiangsheng saw a lot of famous watches and fountain pens and other gadgets, in addition to some large items, such as classic cars.

But to Lin Qiangsheng's surprise, many of the auctions on the stage turned out to be cultural relics from China, and some jade jewelry.

The most surprising of these lots was an emerald ring, which according to the organizers was the most expensive lot in the charity auction, with a starting price of $350,000. Emerald is known as the king of emeralds, is a very valuable gemstone, recognized by the international jewelry industry as one of the four precious gemstones, the four major gemstones are red, blue, green and diamond.

Leonardo da Vinci's sketchbook is a Renaissance thing, so the organizers made it a little more high-end as the finale.

Lin Qiangsheng said to Du Ping: "I didn't expect that there are a lot of Chinese cultural relics in the lot!" ”

Du Ping asked, "Johnson & Johnson, do you want to shoot it?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Europeans and Americans are now undervaluing Chinese antiques, and they don't pay attention to these things now, let's take a picture!" ”

Du Ping nodded and said, "Okay, these cultural relics are all heirlooms!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "What kind of family, I am thinking that I will sell these things when they are worth a lot in the future!" ”

"These things must be carefully maintained when they are bought, otherwise they will cause damage, and there is always a worry about keeping them, it is better to wait for more rich people in China in the future, and then sell them cost-effective!"

Du Ping nodded as she said, she didn't know if what Lin Qiangsheng said was right, there would really be more rich people in China, would they buy these things!

Lin Qiangsheng looked ahead and said to her: "That emerald ring is good, I'll give it to you when it's photographed, and a few good jade jewelry, but it's a pity that the starting price is so low, Europeans and Americans don't pay attention to these objects now!" ”

Du Ping looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, seeing that he nodded to himself, the woman turned happy, she also liked the emerald ring just now, but she didn't expect Lin Qiangsheng to be willing to fight for her to take it down, she thought excitedly, this ring is more than 300,000 US dollars!
