1734 Special Thoughts
"One hundred thousand dollars, number fourteen. Mr. 14 quoted $100,000, and now the price has exceeded $100,000, so does anyone want to continue to quote $150,000? ”
In less than 90 seconds, Miles Scott's suit had already crossed the $100,000 threshold, which not only easily set a new record for the highest price in the market, but also brought the auction to a new stage, which was undoubtedly an exciting twist.
The pace of the offer finally slowed down, and after the $100,000 entry, there were significantly fewer bidders who were still able to remain competitive on the spot, but Stephanie's inquiry was quickly answered, and a business man in a suit held up his number 33 sign to confirm the offer of $155,000.
It can be clearly noticed that the sight of the scene began to burn, and Logan, Aldon and the others all looked at each other, a little unable to believe their ears-
They're all on rookie contracts right now, and only Aldon is a first-round pick, which means they don't have a high contract salary of $150,000, which is pretty scary. Just now, Logan wanted to participate in the auction, hoping to show his support through his own strength, but in the blink of an eye, the bidding number was far beyond imagination, which was not a price that his salary level could afford, and he immediately stopped and honestly began to watch.
"One hundred thousand, fifty-six lady." A guest who had never raised a sign before, she also raised a sign, showing her strong strength without showing her strength.
Lu Ke didn't hesitate, he directly raised the sign, and then he could hear Stephanie's call, "One hundred and fifteen thousand, Mr. Fourteen." Immediately afterward, Stephanie looked around the audience and asked, "120,000, is there anything else?" Is anyone still willing to call for 120,000? ”
After a slight pause, someone still held up a sign, "One hundred and twenty thousand!" Mr. Thirty-Three! Stephanie's voice noticeably began to pick up the tempo.
But Lu Ke didn't leave any space at all, and directly raised the card, "125,000." "The decisive way showed his determination to bid.
There was a little silence at the scene, for a "Halloween costume", such a price is really a bit outrageous, even with the bonus of Christmas miracles, even with the embellishment of the "Batboy" story, this is still beyond imagination - they don't even know what to do after the auction is successful?
Is it just to take a picture on the photo wall? Or do you want to shoot a collection exhibition and let everyone come and see a set of clothes? Or is it waiting for the future to show room for appreciation? Obviously, it's very, very difficult, because the biggest point of this outfit is that it's timely, not collectible.
While looking at each other, everyone's expressions became playful, and some people even began to think of the meeting between Indra-Luy and Lu Ke, and the deep meaning between those intertwined eyes became more and more worth savoring, and then, many eyes were focused on Lu Ke.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. This time it was a bit long, and Stephanie's eyes were cast on Thirty-Three and Fifty-Six, looking at them in the hope that they would continue to keep up, but both of them lacked some determination and waited for a while before there was a change, "Thirteen thousand, Mr. Thirty-Three!" ”
Number 33 finally held up the sign again and kept up with the rhythm; But how can his speed keep up with Lu Ke, who is known as the "master tactician"?
"140,000." Lu Ke didn't wait for Stephanie to ask, and directly raised the card by $10,000, and raised the price directly without hesitation twice in a row, showing his unshakable determination, which made the eyes of the scene more and more scorching, and the offer was far beyond expectations.
Stephanie's gaze still fell on Thirty-Three, "The price has come to 140,000 now, how about it, is there still 145,000?" Is anyone willing to continue to offer 145,000? I'll ask one last time, and if not, then I'll end the call at 140,000. ”
Stephanie's burning gaze surveyed the audience, confident and calm, constantly creating faint sparks, as if the devil was tempting/seducing, and then someone on the scene followed Stephanie's rhythm - the auction was like this, a little hot-headed, and then lost his mind, impulsively raised the sign, and after reacting, he realized what price he had quoted, but it was too late to regret it.
"Forty-five thousand, Mr. Thirty-Three!" Stephanie's voice was also noticeably softer, and her emotions were a little excited.
Lu Ke was not moved at all, he didn't even look back, and directly raised his card, "160,000." Without hesitation, he raised the offer of 15,000 dollars again, and the strong and domineering reaction did not leave much room for competition, which was really shocking, and then a low cry could be clearly heard on the scene, with surprise, surprise and consternation, and all kinds of emotions stirring in the space of the conference room.
That's 160,000! That's a full double of the previous highest price! This also makes the meaning of the charity auction subtle changes.
As one of the leading organizers, Jiang Youning could clearly notice that many eyes around him had fallen one after another:
The Charity Auction is a very special social occasion that, in addition to being able to contribute to charity, is also one of the most important places to build fame:
For the organizers, for the guests, for the donors, all the same.
In the organizers, the number of guests they can invite, the auction items they can collect, the number of funds they can raise, etc., are all the embodiment of the entire social status, the simplest and most intuitive example is that some organizers can invite Leonardo DiCaprio, while some organizers can only invite 18th tier Internet celebrities, some organizers can raise tens of millions of dollars, and some organizers can only raise tens of thousands of dollars.
That's the difference.
The same is true for guests and donors.
One of the guests in attendance showed great support for philanthropy with generosity, such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs; And a donor's auction can usher in a rush and eventually auction a super high price, contributing to charity in his own way, so that the aura of fame can create real value.
These are the differences.
Therefore, every charity auction has its own exquisiteness, from the lineup of guests to the auction items to the transaction price, how to arrange and what effect can be achieved, all of which are an invisible war, and don't underestimate the organizers of those charity events.
Of course, some people are bound to say that this is a "show", just doing superficial work to build their good name. But that's the way it is in real life, everything is a "deal", at least these people are willing to support charity for the sake of their fame, and promote charity through their fame, then that's a good thing.
That's how it is now.
Lu Ke showed his courage and strength, and easily doubled the highest price of the auction, as one of the organizers, Jiang Youning naturally attracted much attention, and those eyes were meaningful: the son built momentum for his mother, and at the same time supported charity, Lu Ke was really smart.
Bathed in those eyes of envy and admiration, Jiang Youning was a little uncomfortable, and a little unaccustomed to it, but the problem was that she didn't know why Lu Ke did this, and Lu Ke hadn't mentioned it at all before; But Jiang Youning also believes that Lu Ke must have his own reasons.
Lu Ke knew that his actions might create some misunderstandings, but he still did not waver.
From Miles Scott's body, Lu Ke got inspiration, and he sincerely hopes that Miles's courage can be passed on step by step.
Therefore, Lu Ke did not hesitate to hold up the sign and show his determination categorically. As for those misunderstandings, they will be solved after the whole activity is carried out, and the truth will naturally surface at that time; And those "stubborn misunderstandings" that ignore the truth and distort Lu Ke's charitable intentions are not what Lu Ke needs to consider - as a public figure, he can't make everyone like him, and he can't explain every misunderstanding, the clear are self-purifying, and the turbid are self-turbid, things are so simple, as long as he has a clear conscience.
When Lu Ke quoted the price of 160,000 yuan, there was a slight commotion on the scene, and then you could see that Mr. No. 33 took the lead in shaking his head at Stephanie, saying that he would not continue to participate in the bidding - this has far exceeded expectations, he doesn't want to continue to compete with his head again, not to mention, this is a charity auction, the most important thing is charity, not victory or defeat. He chose to give up.
Stephanie didn't mind, and repeated her auction process with a smile, and after asking the audience for opinions three times in a row, she began to make a final call, "160,000!" 160,000! Deal! Mr. Fourteen won the Batboy suit donated by Miles Scott with a figure of 160,000, congratulations! ”
At this time, Lu Kecai showed a smile, and gestured to the guests who applauded the audience, and then turned his head to see the No. 33 guest smiling at him, as if to say: It was a friendly victory just now, and there was some regret in his expression but he still accepted the final result calmly.
Lu Ke chuckled lightly and nodded to the other party.
In this way, the title of "Standard King" was taken off by Lu Ke, and he bought Miles's "Bat Boy Suit" for $160,000, igniting a frenzy of auctions!
Logan patted Lu Ke's shoulder excitedly, "Dude! Buddy! Are you crazy? Buddy! "Even with Marcus and Aldon and others, they were excited.
