Chapter 298: The Wronged Boss [Second Update]
Hearing that there is a mastiff garden near Sydney, Wang Hao couldn't help but be excited, if this mastiff garden still exists, then he must be able to find the ideal Tibetan mastiff, it is not rare whether it is a purebred or a hybrid, as long as it fits the eye.
Anyway, Wang Hao didn't breed Tibetan mastiffs for competition or breeding or anything, he just wanted to use Tibetan mastiffs to watch his family, and this function has been infinitely weakened. Who would be bored and spend millions of yuan to buy a Tibetan mastiff to come to their home, isn't it stupid?
After Lin Kaiyu sent a text message to his friend on his mobile phone, he looked up and said to Wang Hao: "I probably remember that his mastiff garden opened two years ago, and I don't know how it is now." β
"It's okay, even if Australia can't buy it, just let the domestic mastiff garden make an overseas order." Wang Hao didn't really need it urgently, he just did it on a whim.
The essence of the charity dinner is a small auction, but the amount obtained from the auction will be donated to charity, and the things taken out for auction are also donated, and there is no profit problem.
The financial situation of foreign charities is relatively transparent, and it is much better than any domestic Red Cross Society, at least for the time being, there has not been such a strange thing as **.
The master of ceremonies told everyone that the event is about to start, please take a seat and enjoy the dinner first. And Wang Hao touched his belly, he could finally eat, he couldn't wait to taste the various delicacies at the banquet.
At this time, the guests had already taken a small plate to retrieve their favorite food, and each person took a small bite symbolically, which was still far from filling their stomachs.
For such a grand dinner, there are relatively few meals served. There are only a few dishes to choose from, but each one is very delicate and delicious. The guests had no complaints. I think this is also the meaning of charity.
One of the most popular dishes at the banquet is the trendy Waldorf salad, which is made with lemon juice and stewed apples, celery and grapes into a vegetable consommΓ©. Pour lemon juice and egg whites in place of the traditional mayonnaise. The fruit slices are placed on the bottom bed of romaine lettuce, topped with croutons and drizzled with walnut oil.
It is very fresh when you bite into it, with the pure fragrance of nature.
Meat-loving guests enjoyed a marinadet-soaked filet mignon and slow-roasted Arctic beets, served with potato croquettes and heirloom cherries, tomato fondue and black Tuscan kale.
Although it is always dark British cuisine on the Internet, these dishes are the best in terms of appearance and taste, and people can't get enough of it.
Su Jing naturally couldn't eat too much in an evening dress. Lest her little belly be exposed, she plattered her plate with saffron spring rolls wrapped in parmesan cheese and basil, served with some parmesan cheese, tomato sauce and fresh sliced fresh vegetables.
Dessert is a delicate gold-plated three-tiered cassis liqueur lemon cheesecake, chocolate union salted caramel and hazelnut meringue cream cones, topped with pure chocolate sauce, white chocolate cake, and fruit platter of mango, raspberry and lemon.
The event officially began. A beautiful blonde woman in a long white dress walked up to the stage and said in a pure London accent: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to invite you to participate in the action of caring for children with autism. All funds raised today will be donated to the Australian Children's Fund. The whole process is supervised by a notary public. β
Banner leaned back in his chair and whispered, "This chick is good, she used to be a model." Now it's so good to be a diplomat. β
Wang Hao and Su Jing glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer. Fortunately, at this time, other speakers on the stage also came out. Australian diamonds, Oscar-winning new actress Kate. Blanchett walked out in a cut-out dark gold dress.
"It has been a long tradition to have been fortunate enough to attend eight such charity dinners in a row. More than 8,000 children with autism have benefited from this in Australia, and many more are receiving treatment. Today's first lot is a lot from the famous American oil painter John Brown. Jin Ge. Sargent's Dear Child, 1895. β
Kate. Blanchett is now an assistant auctioneer, that is, he uses his influence on the stage to help liven up the atmosphere, because this is not in a formal auction, and there is not much attention to nature.
This oil painting is very well preserved, although Wang Hao does not know the painter, but he can still see the value from the guests who keep holding the sign.
The price of "Dear Child" soared from $50,000 to $380,000 before stopping, and it was Murdoch Jr. who successfully got off to a good start.
For many people, such charity dinners are just an ingredient for showmanship, to show others that they are a person who is passionate about charity. There are a lot of such formalisms both at home and abroad, so there are also a lot of people in the entertainment industry who come to pay attention.
Several lots were sold at high prices in a row, and some of them even increased tenfold, and many people became wronged.
"Why, isn't there anything you fancie?" Banner smiled and took a sip of champagne, he was very steady, and there was no offer for these things once.
Wang Hao nodded, these optimizations, sculptures and other things are really powerless, even if he puts them in the room, he is still worried that they will be damaged by the little naughty soup bag. There is no need to buy something that you can't use to show your financial strength.
After Su Jing got acquainted with Banner, he dared to speak: "Then why don't you shoot something?" β
"I don't need to shoot these things at all to be famous." Banner said very proudly, and then his tone instantly became low: "Now my trust fund is almost entirely invested in the production, sales, and publicity of cosmetics, where is there any money to pretend to be wronged." β
It doesn't seem that he doesn't want to buy it, but that his funds are tight. Wang Hao smiled lightly, "Isn't this the best opportunity for you to advertise?" When the news reports are made, it will be said that the chairman of Yaqian Cosmetics has spent tens of millions of dollars to become the king of standards. β
"In your eyes, am I the kind of fool who spends money casually?" Banner asked rhetorically.
But a buddy beside him had just raised a sign and shouted the price, and now when he heard such a sentence, his mood instantly became unpleasant, so he glared at the three of them fiercely.
"I'm sorry, we didn't talk about you, just talk about it." Wang Hao hurriedly explained, after all, everyone is here for charity today, and there can be no conflict here.
The guy glanced at Wang Hao and the three of them contemptuously, and snorted with his nose, "I have no money to come to the auction, this dress should not be rented, right?" β
When did Banner get so angry, as a rich boy for so many years, he had never been suspected, and now he was actually questioned by a person who came out of nowhere.
He slapped the table hard, chuckled and said, "Since you have money, then you can take a picture of this thing, let's see what rich people are like." β
At this time, a piece of glass, said to have been fired by a master, was being auctioned, and the price jumped from $2,000 to $40,000.
was provoked by Banner like this, the guy directly raised the card, and then stretched out his hand to make a 5 gesture, signaling that the price was raised to 50,000.
"So rich, only 50,000 Australian dollars?" Banner sneered in a weird way, and he lazily raised his seat card, and then compared it to a hundred thousand. For him, a few million are temporarily difficult to liquidate, but 100,000 Australian dollars is still no problem.
Wang Hao can naturally see that Banner is plotting, he just wants you to bid a high price, and he has released everything before, if he is cowardly now, it is estimated that the buddy will be embarrassed to continue to stay.
So, after gritting his teeth and glancing at Banner, the guy shouted out a high price of 150,000 Australian dollars. Such a price is too high for an ordinary glass product, after all, it is not diamond-inlay, the master is still alive, and he can burn as many as he wants in the future.
Accept it when he sees it, Banner doesn't continue, do less things that offend people, and the price of 150,000 is still within the acceptable range, he said: "Now, this glass tower is yours, thank you very much for your love." β
The lot, which could have been eaten for about 50,000 Australian dollars, was now auctioned for a high price of 150,000 yuan, and the man stared at Banner twice with a very unhappy face, as if he remembered his appearance in his heart, and then found a way to get angry later.
Such a big wronged boss almost made Wang Hao laugh in his belly, but he had to endure it, so as not to burn his anger to his side. (To be continued......)
