(Ask for a ticket!) Ask for a ticket! ）

The crowd is full of voices, the traffic is like weaving, and a big show carefully arranged by Li Yaoyang is about to be staged.

The guests were very cooperative, holding invitations to be stamped by the staff, and after entering the theater, they temporarily moved to the banquet hall to wait for the auction to begin.

Everyone was not in a hurry, it was a good occasion to socialize, grab a glass of champagne and weave through the crowd, they enjoyed the busyness.

Sarah Hudson, as the theater owner and the initiator of today's great gathering, was naturally the center of attention in the crowd.

At this time, she was surrounded by more than a dozen people, all of whom were distinguished guests waiting for an opportunity to come forward to greet her, and each of them could not be neglected.

She herself is the most delicate rose among the flowers, and she is even more radiant when she is surrounded by the crowd at this time.

Li Yaoyang is not idle, he is responsible for coordinating tonight's activities, while paying attention to the preparation of the actors, and at the same time, he also has to pay attention to the lone VIPs, so as not to bored them.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to break himself into eight petals.

When the scheduled time came, the auction started on time, and a total of 500 invitations were sent out, but the actual number of people showed up was three times the number of invitations.

However, looking at the entire New York Greater Bay Area, how many people think they can be among the upper class?

There are only a handful of people who can gather here tonight.

Sarah used the face of her deceased husband to hire Little Woods, the executive manager of Christie's Auction House, and entrusted Christie Auction House with full responsibility for the auction.

After the renovation, the new Hudson Theater can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, which is impossible to complete in two hours if it were auctioned one by one.

And the guests are here to enjoy the evening, preferring to spend their time socializing rather than the long, boring auctions.

Therefore, after research, Christie's auction house divided the seats into 35 large and small areas, plus 26 private rooms, a total of 61 lots for auction.

Guests can choose to bid in partnership or on their own, and give away or sell their seats to acquaintances.

This significantly shortens the auction process and leaves the problem of how to allocate seats to the guests themselves.

This wave is called standing and standing, and you have to have face!

The Hudson Theatre will not offend people, and it will not lose a penny of income.

Of course, all proceeds from tonight's tickets will go to charity, with the main project being to help the widows of martyrs out of their misfortunes.

This is a whole series of plans, and after Li Yaoyang takes over the abandoned factory in Soho, the underground will be used for brewing, and the ground must not be empty, and something must be done.

He hadn't figured out the specific project yet, but he had already decided who to hire to work on.

It is these widows of martyrs that have this group of people as cover, and the enemy wants to find trouble, and they have to weigh whether they can afford to be infamy.

The old clown can't do anything else, there is a set of demonstrations.

The auction officially began, and the first auction was the semi-open box on the second floor on both sides of the stage, with a total of 16 boxes, each of which can accommodate up to 8 people.

The starting price is $500, and the price increase is not less than $20 each time, and the auctioneer is Xiao Woods himself, which can be regarded as a good start to this auction.

After a fierce battle, all 16 boxes were auctioned at an average price of $1,600.

If you only watch the play by yourself, the price is definitely high, but if it averages to 6 or 8 people, this price is really not expensive.

It shows that everyone has not lost their minds at the time of the auction, and then there is the square area in the front row facing the stage on the first floor, with a total of 45 seats and a starting price of 5,000 dollars.

Compared with the box, the competition for this position is more fierce, and several big people who have a bad personal relationship have a fight, and the price has soared, breaking through the 5-digit mark in an instant.

In the end, it was auctioned for 12,000 dollars, which is equivalent to more than 260 dollars for a single seat.

Actually, it's okay, it's the premiere today, and the celebrities gather, if the final result of the show can satisfy everyone, the price is definitely worth the price.

With this price soaring, the auction will enter the white-hot phase.

In addition to selling seats, Hudson Theatre and Christie's Auction House have also launched a number of memorabilia and artwork for interspersed auctions.

This way, the process is not too boring and can add some fun.

Of course, the two sides have already reached a cooperation, and the proceeds from today's auction will be used for charity projects.

Both of them are for fame and profit, and the big head is behind.

Today's big show has created a publicity effect that is no less than a year's advertising on a notice board in a core area.

How to calculate this account, the businessman knows the door, and no one will do a loss-making transaction.

At 7:20, the auction officially ended, and the final results converged in the hands of Li Yaoyang.

Sarah ran over with small steps on the corner of her skirt and looked at him expectantly:

"How? What about the income? ”

Li Yaoyang smiled and handed the simple summary into her hands:

"Congratulations, a total of 258,000 dollars were earned tonight, of which 35,000 dollars belonged to Christie's auction house, and the rest belonged to us."

"So much?" Sarah covered her mouth in surprise and widened her eyes to confirm it herself.

She looked at that number several times, and was sure that it was not dazzling, so she hugged Li Yaoyang excitedly.

"OMG, we succeeded?"

Li Yaoyang patted her back lightly and said with relief:

"yes~We succeeded~"

"Ah~~~" Sarah is indeed happy, completely ignoring the elegance and calmness of the past, excited like a little girl who fell in sweet love for the first time.

Her screams caught the attention of the staff, and everyone got the news, and smiles were on everyone's faces.

At this time, Li Yaoyang let go of Sarah and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention:

"Guys, the tickets have been successfully sold, this is the perfect start, but it is far from over, the next thing is the main event!"

Pete Hughes took the lead and shouted:

"Director, don't worry, we will definitely give our best tonight and make our debut a complete success!"

"Very good, I'm in the box, looking forward to everyone's performance!"

It's buffet time, and after more than two hours of fierce fighting, a lot of money has been spent, and a lot of energy has been wasted, and the guests are in dire need of alcohol and food to replenish their energy.

Sarah suppressed her irrepressible excitement, her breathing was shrampant, and her face flushed, as if she was in some unspeakable state after she was done.

"Lee, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to the banquet hall to have a look~"

"Go quickly, you are the master, you can't leave for too long~"

Sarah nodded, lifted her skirt with both hands and trotted away.

Looking at her back, Li Yaoyang hooked the corners of his mouth and walked away in reverse.

At the back door of the theater, in the dark alleys, rats squeaked and scurried, and Fat Dun'er was waiting for him with more than 30 boxes of whiskey from the Dongxing Tavern.

"Brother Yang~"

"Are you in a hurry?"

"No, we've just arrived~"

"Okay, you're watching the car here, Ah Biao, you take your brother to help move the wine, you have to act quickly~"

Ah Biao followed everyone on a mission for the first time, and his spirit was a little excited, and his eyes were bright and reflective.

"Okay, Brother Yang, don't worry, everyone works very neatly~"

"Hmm~Follow me~"

The meals at tonight's banquet were handled by the Plaza Hotel in the prime location of the Upper East Side, and the quality was not to be said.

But in the provision of alcohol, Li Yaoyang used his power for personal gain.

Sarah turned a blind eye to this and didn't say much, compared to the previous large-scale investment, this amount of money can only be regarded as a small amount of money.

And it is only a matter of minutes to earn it back, Li Yaoyang is busy, and he has to give him some benefits.

According to the purchase price of 100 dollars for a single bottle, the whisky alone allows Li Yaoyang to earn 18,000 dollars.

Coupled with the price difference of other types of fine wines, the total income exceeded 20,000 yuan, and as for the cost, it is negligible.

The brothers didn't rush back after moving the wine, they all came in dresses, and the stage play directed by Li Yaoyang premiered, and they had to cheer up whatever they said.

Li Yaoyang reserved a box for them in advance, and entered the box directly from the internal passage, and no one could see it when the box curtain was closed.

As for himself, he was going to sit in the box where Ron and his father were, and he didn't forget Ron's words.

Tonight's event, Sarah reported to the relevant departments in advance and paid a protection fee to ensure that no one would disturb her.

Those damn prohibition commissioners had to crush their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, knowing that the theater was singing and dancing, but they could only stare outside.

Of course, this does not include Roy Haynes, who is not a dumb loser, who is smoking a cigarette outside the door at this time, and no one knows what he is going to do.

In the banquet hall, the guests drank and chatted, and it was impossible to distinguish between real and fake wines.

In this special era, it is already good to have alcohol to drink.

After Li Yaoyang sent Fat Dun'er and them into the box, he took the time to come to the banquet hall, and he hadn't eaten after a busy afternoon, so he had to find something to eat to fill his appetite.

As soon as he entered, he was blocked by Little Woods, who was not small, a Scotsman born in the fog capital.

His father was the last manager of Christie's auction house, in other words, the old auction house is now in the pockets of the Woods family.

As for where the founder family is now, Li Yaoyang doesn't know and is not interested.

Little Woods is personable, with an elegant and solemn pure black tuxedo, and a pure London accent, which adds to the charm.

"Mr. Lee, are you free? I want to talk to you~" Little Woods held a whiskey glass in his hand, shook it gently, and his blue eyes were definitely a big killer to tempt women.

"Of course, it's my pleasure~"

Li Yaoyang looked left and right, there were a lot of people, took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and stretched out his hand to signal:

"Why don't you come to my office and sit down?" It's quiet there~"

"It couldn't be better~"

It's a pity that the food and wine here are destined to miss Li Yaoyang tonight.

chatting all the way into the office, Li Yaoyang secretly found a bottle of whiskey from the bookcase:

"Drink?"

"Of course!"

'Ben'er~', the wooden cork opened lightly.

After pouring a cup each, Li Yaoyang asked:

"What are we talking about?"

"Just talk about this bar, and hear Mrs. Hudson say that you will serve all the drinks at tonight's banquet?"

"That's right~"

"Coincidentally, we may be half of the same company~"

Li Yaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You also sell wine?" ”
