Chapter 34: Auction Fundraising

The audience was surrounded by wealthy businessmen and magnates, Yang Dewen showed several times on the stage, how to use the windproof lighter, and invited a few to come to the stage in public, and quickly blew with his mouth, the quality of the windproof lighter is still very awesome, a few people blow hard, and it still can't be blown out.

"My baby, does anyone want it?" Yang Dewen shouted loudly.

"I want to."

"Give it to me."

"Give it to me, and I'll give you a hundred taels of silver."

"You dream your way! Such a good baby, you are willing to pay a hundred taels, Lao Tzu a thousand taels. ”

"You can only look at a thousand taels, and I won't touch you to touch them, and Lao Tzu will give you 10,000 taels."

……

"Okay, since everyone likes it, but there's only one baby, what should I do? Of course, we took the most money, and now we will start the auction, and all the silver from the auction will be donated to the victims to buy food.

If you need to raise your hand to bid, the starting price is one tael of silver, and the price increase is not less than ten taels of silver each time, and now you will start bidding. ”

"I'll give you a hundred taels of silver."

"I'll give you five hundred taels."

"One thousand taels."

……

As soon as Yang Dewen called the start, the wealthy businessmen and magnates in the audience began to compete for bids, and within two minutes, the starting price of one tael of silver doubled to 10,000 times.

Ten thousand taels of silver, even for a rich person, is not a small amount.

The leisurely residence purchased by Yang Dewen, plus thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city, add up to 10,000 taels of silver, and there is still a difference of 200 taels. As you can imagine, 10,000 taels of silver is really not a small amount.

"Okay, Boss Huang of Huang Ji Qian Zhuang has already bid 10,000 taels, does anyone still want to increase the price?" Yang Dewen said excitedly on stage.

"Twelve thousand taels."

The old gentleman asked for twelve thousand taels. Does anyone still want a price increase? ”

"Thirteen thousand taels."

"Fifteen thousand taels."

“……”

“……”

……

"Twenty thousand taels." is still the boss of Huang Ji Qian Village, asking for 20,000 taels of silver.

"Boss Huang of Huang Ji Qian Village, the price is 20,000 taels, is there anyone else asking for the price?"

……

The scene was quiet for a while, and no one was bidding.

Boss Huang, the owner of Huang Ji Qian Village, had a triumphant smile on his face.

"If no one raises the price, this treasure is Boss Huang's, I will count three times, if there is still no one to increase the price after three sounds, the transaction will be successful, and the price increase will be invalid after that." Yang Devin said.

"One."

"The first sound has passed, is there anything you want to increase?"

"Two."

"Has no one raised the price anymore? If no one raises the price, I'll count it to the last one. ”

"Twenty-one thousand taels."

A woman's voice shouted crisply.

Yang Dewen looked over and found that the person who raised his hand to ask for the price was actually Tong Lanying, the female owner of the VIP building.

Yang Dewen was depressed in his heart, when he borrowed money from her to cooperate, she said that she had no money, but now she had to spend more than 20,000 taels of silver to buy this lighter in his hand.

"Miss Tong from the VIP building, the bid is 21,000 taels, 21,000 taels, and there is no one who wants to increase the price." Yang Dewen said loudly.

"Twenty-two thousand taels." Boss Huang of Huang Ji Qian Zhuang asked for the price again.

"Twenty-five thousand taels." Tong Lanying also did not hesitate to increase the price.

"Thirty thousand taels." Boss Huang of Huang Ji Qian Zhuang looks like he is bound to win. Bidding again, the price was directly increased by 5,000 taels, and the total price exceeded 30,000 taels.

"30,000 taels, Huang Ji Qianzhuang asked for 30,000 taels, does anyone still increase the price?"

"Thirty-five thousand taels."

"Forty thousand taels."

Between the two families, the asking price is already at the level of five thousand taels of silver for one markup.

"Forty-five thousand taels." Tong Lanying gritted her teeth and said.

"Fifty thousand taels." Boss Huang of Huang Ji Qian Zhuang was also gritting his teeth and shouting.

"It's 50,000 taels, does anyone still increase the price?" Yang Dewen said, looking at Tong Lanying.

Tong Lanying also looked at Yang Dewen at this time, and the eyes of the two met in the air, Yang Dewen shook his head gently at Tong Lanying, suggesting that she should stop bidding.

As everyone knows, even if Tong Lanying wants to bargain at this time, she doesn't have that confidence.

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"Congratulations to Wong Kee Money Village for winning the first treasure, and I also thank Wong Kee Money Village for his generosity in helping the victims." Yang Dewen said with a smile.

Under the witness of everyone, Yang Dewen handed over the windproof lighter worth 50,000 taels of silver in his hand to Boss Huang of Huangji Qianzhuang.

After each Oiran sings, an auction of an item is interspersed, and the atmosphere is always high, and the Oiran performance, which has attracted attention in the past, has not attracted everyone's attention.

The auction items are varied, such as the gold hairpin donated by the queen of the dynasty, the fan inscribed by His Majesty, the original belly pocket worn by the Oiran Du Qi Niang, and a dagger donated by the Ming prince.

Although the objects are not big and expensive, they have all been auctioned at unexpectedly high prices, and in this, Yang Dewen's hard-working eloquence has actually played a great role.

After the banquet, the happiest and happiest person was His Majesty the Emperor.

In one night, the income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is used to buy grain, which can buy millions of stones, and the affected people under the entire Mingzhou Mansion can have enough food for a year.

If such a banquet is held in every state, won't the victims of Daqin have food to eat?

The next day, in the densely populated places in Mingzhou City, notices were posted full of the names of the donors and the amount of money he had donated.

The first place is written on it, Huang Ji Qian Zhuang Huang Moumou, the donation amount is 60,000 taels of silver.

This guy is worthy of being the person who opened the bank, and he is very wealthy, and he donated 10,000 taels of silver in the first game.

On another notice, it is written that the first person to pledge, leisurely living in Xiaoyue, it is written, leisurely living in Xiaoyue, although the donation is only one hundred taels of silver, but it is all her property, and she is the first person to pledge, it is precisely because of her leading role that this charity fundraising activity has been a success.

The third notice reads, about the selection of the top ten benevolent people in Mingzhou, the selection of the top ten benevolent people is not ranked by the largest number of donations, but by the most touching good deeds.

The prefect of Mingzhou Mansion Yamen is responsible for setting up ballot boxes in crowded places, and everyone can record the good deeds of the people around them and put them into the ballot box, and Mingzhou Mansion will organize the selection and announce the final results.

On the donation list, the top few wealthy businessmen found that their stores have significantly more customers and business has improved a lot recently, and this discovery makes them very happy.

With the development of the selection of the top ten benevolent people, the kindness of many people has been stimulated, and there are more soup kitchens for disaster relief in various places.

Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them here for the time being.

I was busy all night last night, and there was no way, His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Ming were very excited, and they were drinking, and they counted how many donations there were in total.

"Yang Dewen! I heard that the things you sell in the leisurely curry are very expensive, and a girl in your family has donated a hundred taels of silver, why don't you see it on this list, how much do you donate! The old emperor said with a list of donation statistics in one hand and touching his beard with the other.

"Your Majesty! You're not right to say that, right? The treasure that was sold for 50,000 taels of silver, but I donated it privately, so why didn't I donate. Yang Dewen said very dissatisfied.

"That item was donated voluntarily by you, and the 50,000 taels of silver have also been recorded in the donation of that Boss Huang, so you can't count it, ah!" The old emperor said with a smile.

Yang Dewen almost slapped the table angrily and scolded his mother, he had seen shameless, but he had never seen such a shameless person.

After being tired all night, his voice was hoarse, and he also donated high-tech products and windproof lighters, but he didn't get any benefits, and he was forced to make him donate.

Is there still a heavenly reason? Is it good to say that the donation is voluntary, yes, are you forcing people to donate so much? It's called robbery, isn't it?
