101. Tang Dynasty group fan
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Ruozhi's face changed greatly.
Su Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Ruozhi's nervous appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Teasing you, are you still serious?" ”
"Which of your words is teasing me? Did you get on your thief ship, or which one of the previous sentences? ”
"What are you afraid of? I'm not going to eat you again. Su Xiaoyu leaned back in his chair leisurely, and because of the staring eyes of many pairs, he couldn't be too casual.
"Yes, since I've already promised you, it's useless for me to worry."
"Let's put it this way, in the past, you could only be your actor in China, but now it's different. There is only so much I can do for you, and the rest is up to you to make your way out of the world. ”
"I see."
"You don't understand." Su Xiaoyu said with great certainty.
"So what do you think I don't understand?"
"You still can't let go." There was a gleam in the gray-green eyes, "You used to be able not to look, not to listen, not to speak, but now it's different. You have to keep an eye on the resources available to you and make the most of them. ”
"For example?"
"Remember the Luxembourg royal family who greeted me in the afternoon?"
"Yes."
"Go do something and let him notice you."
"Why?"
"You said you understood just now, do you want to ask me now?" Su Xiaoyu looked sideways at Zhao Ruozhi, "Luxembourg's position in Europe is very unique, if you can get Prince Charles to notice you, then you have taken the first step to enter the European market." ”
"I haven't even entered the U.S. market, so why have I started thinking about the European market?"
"Do you really not understand or pretend you don't understand?" Su Xiaoyu couldn't cry or laugh, "I am in the American market, what are you worried about?" ”
"Oh." Zhao Ruozhi lowered his head and thought.
The light in the hall shone on her sleek porcelain-like face, and her eyes were obscured by the shadows cast by her eyelashes, making it impossible to see whether her eyes were happy or lost.
"Don't you want to go?"
Zhao Ruozhi still lowered his head and did not answer.
The host on the stage was still chattering about the goods to be auctioned at the auction, and the people in the audience were already in high spirits and began to whisper with the people around them about their favorite goods.
At the end of the host's introduction, Zhao Ruozhi finally raised his head and observed the Crown Prince of Luxembourg, Prince Charles, who was sitting behind him on his right.
Prince Charles wore a navy blue suit with a dark red silk scarf on his chest, which made his complexion even whiter. Under the multicolored light refracted by the crystal lights above the banquet hall, it is like a male protagonist who has come out of a fairy tale. Every detail is just right, and every expression on the face is like the result of the artist's meticulous carving.
During the day, due to motion sickness, he was dizzy and was bombarded by various languages, and Zhao Ruozhi didn't have the heart to carefully observe the Crown Prince of Luxembourg. Now that I look closely, I have to sigh that there are really such exquisite people in the world.
"Now, we're going to show you the first lot: a Chinese Tang Dynasty fan."
Hearing that the first item to be auctioned was a group fan from the Tang Dynasty in China, Zhao Ruozhi immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the host's introduction.
"This fan was once the only fan used by the only empress of the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that the empress picked up this fan in a pavilion in the palace before she got married. This fan is beautifully made, and at first glance it is not a fan that ordinary palace maids can use.
She wanted to return the fan to its owner, but on the night she picked it up, she had a dream in which an old man with gray hair told her that whoever could get the fan would get the world.
So the empress no longer looked for the owner of the fan, but hid it where only she could find it.
Later, she really became the empress and owned the world. After the empress died, she did not bury the fan with her, but placed it next to her son. That's why we can get this fan today. ”
"$5 million minimum."
As soon as the host finished telling the story, the guests attending the auction began to whisper.
In principle, all bids for this charity auction will come from donations, which may be donations from those present or from other philanthropists in the community, and all proceeds from the auction will be used for charity.
The host did not mention who donated the fan, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "Who donated this fan?" ”
The host apologized: "Donors don't want to go public. ”
The whispers were louder underneath.
When everyone wants to climb up by doing charity, there are still people who are reluctant to reveal their names, is it because this thing is not coming from the right way?
Zhao Ruozhi also felt a little strange: "Who donated this, why is he reluctant to reveal his name?" ”
"Do you ask me?" Su Xiaoyu smiled wickedly, his eyes drifted to the left back from time to time, "I don't want to reveal my name, how can I know?" ”
"Didn't you say you were the one who did the auction? You know for sure. ”
"Do you really want to know? I promise you'll regret it. ”
"Say it." Zhao Ruozhi looked at the exquisite fan on the stage, and the woman painted on the fan looked arrogant, indeed with the style of a queen, different from other ladies in the Tang Dynasty. "If it's not something from an unknown source, I want to buy it."
"It's Zhouyi."
Seeing that Zhao Ruozhi was stunned and did not react, Su Xiaoyu repeated it again.
"I hear you." Zhao Ruozhi sighed, "I really regret hearing the name of the donor." ”
Just when Zhao Ruozhi was in a panic, the prince of Luxembourg with an extraordinary temperament had already made a bid.
"$8 million."
is worthy of being the crown prince, and the audience was silent as soon as he made a move.
I heard a sharp voice from a woman who said, "8.5 million." ”
Others may not know this woman's voice, but Zhao Ruozhi is very familiar.
What kind of excitement did Liu Xiaofei come to join?
"9 million." Zhao Ruozhi read a number, as if he just read a number so easily.
No one in the entire banquet hall dared to breathe loudly, and they all waited with bated breath to see if anyone would be willing to pay a higher price for this fan.
Liu Xiaofei spoke again: "10 million." ”
Everyone gasped.
Zhao Ruozhi sneered and said: "15 million." ”
If Zhao Ruozhi's ear power was better, he would definitely hear that the people sitting in the corner had already begun to judge her.
And Su Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to Zhao Ruozhi, seemed to be very happy, surrounded by pleasant hormones.
"Do you really want to buy this fan? Do you want that pile of wire? Su Xiaoyu asked Zhao Ruozhi in a low voice.
"15 million once." The moderator has already started the final countdown.
"20 million."
Everyone turned their heads to look for the person who had made the bid of $20 million, only to see Prince Charles very politely smile back at the person who cast his gaze.
"21 million." While Zhao Ruozhi added 1 million, he turned around and gave Prince Charles a provocative look.
Prince Charles is still a gentleman, and only added 1 million.
"22.8 million." Zhao Ruozhi narrowed his eyes and stared at the fan, as if he was determined to win.
"28 million." Prince Charles doesn't seem to be planning to let the fan out.
Zhao Ruozhi wanted to increase the price again, but Su Xiaoyu grabbed his hand: "It's almost done." ”
The breath that Zhao Ruozhi had just lifted was blocked in his chest, and he couldn't go up or down.
was delayed by Su Xiaoyu like this, and the Tang Dynasty group fan was bought by Prince Charlie.
"Congratulations to Prince Charlie."
The people around congratulated him, but Prince Charles made a surprising move.
He walked up to Zhao Ruozhi with a fan and said, "Although I don't know what your name is, I think this fan is very suitable for you." ”
Zhao Ruozhi's hand was still tightly pinched by Su Xiaoyu, and the breath blocked in her chest seemed to turn into a hot fireball, burning her chest painfully.
There are countless eyes cast behind it.
Some people wonder, some people wonder if the prince is crazy, spending $28 million to take a picture of a fan and give it to Mr. Medici's girlfriend, isn't this deliberately embarrassing?
Other people's eyes didn't matter to Zhao Ruozhi, only one gaze made Zhao Ruozhi feel like a thorn in his back, uncomfortable.
She doesn't care what other people think, there is only one person, she can't forget it if she wants to, and she can't avoid it if she wants to. The corner of the eye will always involuntarily glance in the direction of that person.
The man didn't seem interested in what was happening here, just sipping his tea lightly and looking through the catalogue of the auction items in his hand.
Prince Charlie smiled politely at Zhao Ruozhi, and Su Xiaoyu let go of Zhao Ruozhi's hand at this time. Su Xiaoyu's meaning is already obvious, he wants Zhao Ruozhi to attract the attention of the prince, and now the opportunity is in front of him, he should take advantage of it.
From an outsider's point of view, Zhao Ruozhi was just slightly stunned, and soon accepted the gift given to her by Prince Charlie, and hugged the prince warmly.
Just when everyone thought that this tidbit was about to end, Monsieur Medici's girlfriend actually took the hand of the Prince of Luxembourg and left the banquet hall together.
There was another murmur below.
Which play is this? Is it Prince Charlie who blatantly wants to rob Mr. Medici's girlfriend? Spending so much money just to buy a fan Bo no one laughs, the meaning of the crown prince seems to be very obvious. It's just that Mr. Medici Ahai was holding his girlfriend's hand one second, why was he pulled by Prince Chali the next second?
Some people have begun to lose their excitement and have never seen such an interesting thing happen. What is the background of the Oriental women who make the two best single men in high society compete for it at the expense of money?
For a while, the gossip spread quickly in the circle, and soon someone began to investigate Zhao Ruozhi's details. Except for finding out that she has a prominent status in China's entertainment industry and is the hottest actress of our time, nothing else has been found.
Su Xiaoyu picked up the goblet and leisurely tasted the dark red wine in the glass, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It seems that today's harvest is really a lot, not only did he catch Prince Charlie, a big fish, but even Zhou Yi, who had always been restrained, began to hold back, and quietly left the banquet hall when no one was paying attention.
Su Xiaoyu didn't let go of Zhou Yi's every move from beginning to end, and the biggest fish was finally hooked.
