Charity auction venue.

Tong En and Ji Siming walked into the auction exhibition hall side by side, where every item that will be auctioned is donated by well-wishers from all walks of life. On both sides and in the center of the exhibition hall, exquisite donations are displayed in glass cases for the guests to view and select from the auction, and a card is placed in front of each donation with a brief description of the donated items and the starting price.

It was the first time for Tong En to participate in this kind of auction, and she stood beside Ji Siming, watching him sign his name on the guest list, and felt very new to this kind of activity and the way the items were displayed.

Ji Siming took the No. 19 card, turned his head and saw Tong En's curious look, and handed her the sign with a smile. Tong En took the small sign, looked at the eye-catching number on it and asked Ji Siming: "When you auction for a while, you only need to hold up this sign, it means that you have made a bid, right?" ”

Ji Siming nodded and said, "Yes, if you finally bid for that item, the auctioneer will write down this number, and after the auction is over, you can pay for it with this brand." ”

Seeing Tong En looking at the sign in her hand with interest, Ji Siming asked her, "Haven't you participated in an auction before?" ”

Tong En shook his head and said, "No, but I've seen it on TV, and I only know the basic procedures." ”

Ji Siming smiled slightly, "Let's go, go and see the exhibits participating in the auction, if you like it, remember the exhibit number, and we'll buy it later." ”

Tong En smiled and said, "You mean you can buy it as long as I like it?" ”

"Of course. Don't forget, today is a charity auction, we are here to donate, of course to buy something. Rest assured, I personally pay for the election. Ji Siming said in Tong En's ear.

Tong En pursed his lips and smiled, looked up at the large exhibition hall and said, "Then I want to take a good look." ”

Ji Siming smiled and grabbed her waist and led her to the exhibit display case.

Because they are all donations, the exhibits in the display case can be described as varied. Tong En walked slowly along the cabinet, she found that the existing gifts were marked with the name of the donor, and some gifts were not, she looked at Ji Siming in puzzlement.

Ji Siming understood what she meant and explained: "Some are donated by well-known people, the more famous they are, the more valuable the things are, and some things donors do not want to be named, and most of these things are very valuable in themselves." ”

"Oh." Tong En nodded abruptly.

As he walked, Tong En discovered something interesting. It is a model of an ornamental sailboat, very small, only as long as a book, the hull is made of an alloy, shining gold, the silver sails are raised in the wind, the lines are smooth and dynamic, the shape is very beautiful, and the workmanship is also very exquisite.

Ji Siming saw Tong En look so carefully, and asked softly, "Do you like it?" ”

"Well, that's beautiful." Tong En nodded.

Ji Siming looked at the item number and wrote it down on a small card.

Tong En took a closer look at the starting price and gasped, 5,000 yuan.

"So expensive?" Tong En whispered in amazement.

Ji Siming's eyes narrowed, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Donate, what's the point of being cheap, as long as you like it, it's worth it." ”

"That's not such a high starting price, you see over there, the starting price of gold jewelry is only 1,000 yuan. It can't be real gold, right? And there is no name of the donor on it, will it really be valuable? No, it's clearly written on the profile that it's alloy, a small piece of art, how can it be marked with such a high price? Tong Enbai was puzzled.

Ji Siming leaned close to her ear and said: "This is just the starting price, the amount we are going to donate today is 200,000 yuan, you don't want us to go back with a bunch of useless things, right?" ”

Tong En's heart was immediately relieved. It's not like that, I'm here to donate today, and I'm still here to calculate the price, which is really funny.

Walking around the display case, Ji Siming wrote down the numbers of a few more items, saw that the time was almost up, and walked towards the auction hall with Tong En.

As soon as she entered the hall, Tong En immediately felt dozens of pairs of eyes shooting at her, and she remembered that Ji Siming had said that reporters from major newspapers and TV stations would report on the charity event live.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Ji Siming, the general manager of Lifeng Company?"

Several reporters with cameras and microphones suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Yes, I'm Ji Siming." Ji Siming stopped.

"Does Mr. Ji participate in this charity auction in his personal capacity or on behalf of Lifeng Company?"

"Of course, on behalf of the Lifeng company."

"May I ask how much General Manager Ji plans to donate to this event."

Ji Siming smiled and said: "Since I am participating in a charity event, of course I want to donate, and the amount of the donation depends on the specific auction situation." ”

Tong En kept smiling and standing beside Ji Siming, quietly watching Ji Siming answer the reporter's questions, suddenly, the light flashed in front of her, and then, a reporter seemed to come out of the ground and drilled in front of her and asked, "Is this young lady coming to participate in the charity auction with General Manager Ji?" What is your relationship with General Manager Ji? ”

Tong En frowned at this question in her heart, but because she had been prepared, she didn't feel nervous, she replied with a smile indifferently: "Yes, I came to participate in the charity auction with General Manager Ji, and we are a working partnership." ”

Ji Siming heard a reporter's question about Tong En, looked sideways at Tong En and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Ms. Tong En, assistant to the chief executive officer of Dawson Venture Capital Co., Ltd. in China, Ms. Tong En was invited by Lifeng Company to participate in this charity auction. Because Dawson Company of the United States has invested 10 million US dollars in Lifeng Company a few days ago, Ms. Tong En, as the plenipotentiary representative of Dawson Company in Lifeng, is both my shareholder and a partner. ”

"So Lifeng has already been invested by a large American company? Mr. Ji, can you elaborate on the details of the investment? ”

"May I ask Mr. Ji ......?"

"Excuse me......"

In the face of a series of questions from reporters, Ji Siming waved his hand and said very patiently: "Everyone, we are here today to participate in the charity auction for donations to orphanages. I'm sorry, please let me go, otherwise it will affect the entry of other personnel. ”

Saying that, Ji Siming pulled Tong En and squeezed through the group of reporters.

Tong En followed behind Ji Siming, chose a seat in the middle of the auction hall and sat down, looked at Ji Siming who was calm and relaxed beside him, and suddenly remembered what Xu Hui said about the old scheming, old treacherous and slick, old rivers and lakes, and secretly said yes in his heart.

Ji Siming's purpose of inviting himself to participate in the auction today has obviously been achieved, and the timing and degree are just right, tomorrow there will be media to publicize for him for free that Li Feng has been supported by large American companies, and it is in the report of the charity auction, so that it also leaves a good impression on the government department, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

"What are you thinking?" Ji Siming asked in a low voice.

"I'm wondering how the leaders of the city government will react tomorrow when they see the newspaper." Tong En also whispered.

Ji Siming smiled, "How about it, this trick is good, right?" ”

Tong En looked at the auction table in front of him and said, "It's not bad, it's amazing." You're killing two birds with one stone. ”

Ji Siming also looked up at the auction table and said, "Wrong, it's a triple win." ”

Tong En turned his head to look at him in confusion, Ji Siming also turned his head to look at her, Tong En's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly turned his head to look ahead, and his pulse also accelerated.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise of the crowd behind him, and Tong En hurriedly turned around and looked behind him to hide the panic in his heart. I saw a group of reporters rushing to the door like a swarm of bees, and several tall men were blocked by reporters at the entrance of the hall.

Tong En narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully, and suddenly remembered that this was Zhong Yue and the sunny boy of Pengfei Industrial Co., Ltd. that he had seen that night.

Ji Siming saw that Tong En had been looking backwards, and he also turned his head to look behind him and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Tong En looked at him and said, "Look at the person at the door, is it Zhong Yue of Pengfei Company?" ”

In fact, before Tong En opened his mouth, Ji Siming had already seen Zhong Yue, and when he heard Tong En ask, he turned around, nodded and said, "That's right, he is Zhong Yue of Pengfei Company, and our biggest opponent in this bid is him." ”

Tong En also turned around and looked at Ji Siming and said, "Do you know this person?" ”

Ji Siming thought for a while and said, "I can't say that I know very well, I've met a few times." Pengfei has been in his hands for several years, and it is said that he has been carrying out reforms, judging from Pengfei's strength in recent years, this person should not be an idle person. ”
