Chapter 129: Hook Straight Bait Salty (Second Update)
Chapter 129
As expected, at the beginning, it was a lengthy leader's speech, which was nothing more than what asked everyone to contribute more money and give more love.
After the leader's speech, the charity auction finally entered the main topic.
Until the auction of things began, Old Man Cai Yuan was still standing behind Song Ming, and he refused to move, as if he had decided to kill him with his eyes.
But Song Ming was very chic, completely ignoring the eyes behind him who wanted to kill, listening to the leader's speech for a while, and chatting with Tang Yun in a low voice for a while, which made her cover her mouth and laugh a few times from time to time, which also made Cai Yuan very suspicious of whether this guy was saying bad things about himself.
When the auction finally began, those people's eyes finally took their eyes off them, and Song Ming also looked at the auctioneer with interest, it was the first time he had participated in this kind of charity auction, and he had only seen it on TV news before, and he was quite interested.
At the beginning of the auction, it was all about hors d'oeuvres, and most of the auction items were handmade scarves, gloves, paintings and other things made by many poor children who had been helped before, and the reason why the organizers put these things up for auction was to prove to others: Look, we didn't spend the money we got and spent it indiscriminately, but really used it for the real time.
On the one hand, the auction price of these things is not destined to be too high, and on the other hand, they take the initiative to buy things made by poor children to prove to others that they are really here to give love.
Song Ming watched Gu Songbai buy a painting painted by a mountain child for a thousand yuan, and it was not so much a painting, but a casual graffiti that children didn't know anything, if it wasn't painted by his own children, who else would like this kind of thing?
Noticing Song Ming's gaze, Gu Songbai said with a smile: "Does Song Xiaoyou think this painting is worth 1,000 yuan?" ”
Song Ming nodded: "Value." ”
"Why?"
"A thousand dollars to buy a person's dream, and it can help him realize his dream, it's definitely worth it."
Gu Songbai said with a smile: "Then Xiaoyou, don't you buy something?" ”
"Lao Gu, why are you telling him so much?" Seeing Gu Songbai and Song Ming chatting happily, Cai Yuan, who was standing behind, pulled his face, "How can someone like this who loves money like life be willing to take money to help others?" ”
Gu Songbai smiled dumbly: "You, you, just die to save face and suffer the crime." ”
"Humph!"
"Don't care, Lao Cai is stubborn, if he likes to stand, let him stand."
The auction continued, Song Ming and Tang Yun did not buy the handmade products of those poor children, these things are still for those people to brush love, they will promote the desalination plant does not know how many people can solve the problem of drinking water, coastal cities to the inland freshwater demand decline, those poor areas can also get more benefits, this kind of thing is more meaningful than these people here to buy something to brush love.
"The auction was followed by the auction of auction items donated by some wealthy people, such as some personal items used by wives......" Tang Yun deliberately misled Song Ming, and then snickered at his expression: "Uh, I mean, jewelry." ”
Song Ming asked curiously, "Will anyone be willing to buy that kind of thing?" ”
Tang Yun explained in a low voice: "These people present are either rich or expensive, and they don't like to use second-hand goods, so these things are donated by those people for auction, and they will be bought back by their original owners after going through the motions, and the auction money will be donated." ”
Song Ming finally understood, this is an advanced version of formalism. But the one who seeks fame gets famous, and the one who seeks wealth gets rich, and this is considered to be a great joy for each to take what he needs.
The auction will continue in a pleasant rhythm, where you can see all kinds of strange things, things that you can't see at a normal auction will appear, such as a signed photo of a certain jade star signing on the spot and printing kiss marks, a brush used by a famous family, a female star who was invited to perform and even boldly auctioned off her own date qualifications......
"She's a popular fried chicken, aren't you interested?" Tang Yun quipped Song Ming, "Of course, this refers to dating in the conventional sense, but if you have the ability to trick her into the hotel, that's your ability." ”
Song Ming shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not interested in this kind of woman." ”
"Pretending." Cai Yuan said coldly: "I don't know what you people think? At least half of the reason why the entertainment industry is so dirty is due to you. ”
Tang Yunliu's eyebrows were raised: "Hey, you're enough, what does the dirtiness of the entertainment industry have to do with us!" ”
This guy has jumped out again and again to brush his sense of existence, which is really annoying!
Cai Yuan looked disgusted: "What good things can there be in a nest of snakes and rats?" ”
Song Ming smiled and said nothing, he now has a faint idea, but this idea has to provoke Cai Yuanyi to force him to cooperate with him, the more noisy he is now, the greater the probability of him taking the bait.
Soon came the climax of the auction, because this kind of charity auction is unlikely to appear any cultural antiques, so the works of these calligraphy and painting associations are often the most popular auction items here, on the one hand, it can enrich the cultural heritage, on the other hand, if anyone becomes famous in the future, maybe the value of the collection of calligraphy and painting will skyrocket, it can be said that it is more than one stone.
Gu Songbai's Chinese painting "Autumn Mountain" was auctioned for a high price of 890,000 yuan, Song Ming noticed that his expression was quite satisfied, and after thinking about it carefully, after all, people are still alive, which means that a large number of works can be published, and the collection value of the work will be greatly reduced.
And the final finale is Cai Yuan's calligraphy "Haoran Righteous Sticker".
Seeing that his work was out of the factory, he insisted on standing there, repeatedly refusing other people's proposals to give him a stool, Cai Yuan, who was standing a little soft-legged and soft-footed, suddenly perked up and felt full of strength.
"President Cai inherits family learning, especially good at Hanmo, and is good at famous inscriptions throughout the past dynasties, and is good at both regular scripts and official books, especially in regular scripts and official books. Now he is the vice chairman of the Flower Calligraphy and Painting Association, the president of the Jianghai Branch, Mr. Cai's calligraphy is eclectic, advocating uprightness between the lines, and the style of his calligraphy works is full of sharpness. ”
"For more than 50 years, President Cai Linchi went to the pen, practiced a deep and solid calligraphy skills, and formed his own unique calligraphy style, the work charm through the structure of the fine, the lines are beautiful, the style of calligraphy is both rigid and soft, is a rare calligraphy boutique for the majority of calligraphy lovers, the auction reserve price is 50,000 yuan, interested bidders please bid."
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the bosses and presidents present who wanted Cai Yuan's Mobao began to quote one after another, and the price rose all the way.
At this time, Zhou Deheng, who had been sitting in front of him without moving, finally quoted: "2 million!" ”
Then he turned his head and smiled at Cai Yuan behind him: "Old man Cai, you didn't give me the words when you came to the door, now I can buy it, right!?" ”
Cai Yuan snorted, but seeing that he had made a historical high price, the expression on his face was still quite satisfied, although he didn't say a word, but the meaning was obvious - you kid is still very knowledgeable.
Although everyone is not bad for money, the price is already very exaggerated, and there is no need to be so exaggerated in the charity auction, so in the end, this piece was won by Zhou Deheng.
Seeing Zhou Deheng take the painting beautifully, Song Ming, who was sitting there, suddenly said in surprise: "It's not worth spending so much money to buy this painting." ”
The smile on Cai Yuan's face froze.
Zhou Deheng snorted: "Mr. Song really loves to joke......"
Of course, he also knows that it is not worth it, but one of what he wants is face, and the other is to enrich the cultural heritage, and the actual value is not important to him.
"No, I'm serious."
Song Ming shook his head: "The word itself is not wrong, but as a businessman, the price is too high for added value, which is not qualified." ”
"Fart!"
Cai Yuan finally couldn't help it: "What do you know about this copper-smelling guy!" ”
"Oh? Old man Cai is very tall. Song Ming looked back at him in great surprise, "But why is such a high-minded old man Cai so happy that his work was auctioned at a high price by a copper-smelling businessman you despise?" ”
"This, this is because-" Cai Yuan was speechless when Song Ming asked him rhetorically, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Of course, this is because of this charity auction!" If my works are sold for so much money, I can help more poor compatriots! And you, a dime and a dime stinger, what qualifications do you have to evaluate my work!? ”
"You don't have to sell your own things to do charity, do you? And all I'm commenting on is that your work isn't worth so much money. Song Ming paused for a moment, and then said: "No, it's not just that your works aren't worth so much money, it can be said that all cultural works are actually not worth so much money." ”
Song Ming looked at him and said word by word: "As a businessman, paying too high a price for the added value of something is failure. For example, this painting itself has no special value, and it can even be said that it is written very ordinary, but it represents you, and your fame, your connections, and your favorability, so they do not buy your work, but these added values. ”
"For example, I won't buy your work, because I don't care what you think, I don't care what your fame will do to me, and I don't care if other people will be impressed by your work after seeing it. Of course, the most important thing is that something that can be copied in large quantities is not inherently of much value. ”
"Y-you bastard!"
Cai Yuan's face was flushed, this guy was clearly saying that his works would be valuable only after he died, and now they are buying their own works, not because of their calligraphy level, but purely because of their fame!
This is a merciless blow to Cai Yuan, who has always been arrogant!
"My calligraphy has been practiced for many years! It's my brainchild! Cai Yuan said angrily: "You said that you can copy it in large quantities?" Then you can make a copy of it for me! ”
It's so easy to take the bait......
