Chapter 390
After Huo Dongjun offered a price of 50,000 yuan for this old-fashioned camera, the lady who couldn't see clearly in the back finally stopped raising the price, and the director of the Donghua Group of Hospitals saw Huo Dongjun holding his own field, and specially shook hands with Huo Dongjun and communicated, it seems that the director named Su Huinian is a photography enthusiast, and when it comes to the camera, he has repeatedly told Huo Dongjun to pay attention to the maintenance of this camera that is not much younger than Huo Dongjun.
After a series of auctions that Huo Dongjun was not interested in, the auction item donated by He Hongsheng was finally sent by the host, it was an antique, and the guests present were not unusual, because as we all know, He Hongsheng likes to collect antiques, and the three-room wife Chen Wanzhen was even more because he failed to interfere in Macau entertainment, so He Hongsheng handed over the antique business in his hands and the four casinos in Vietnam to the third room to take care of, and tonight he Hongsheng came to the dinner with the third room wife Chen Wanzhen, this antique is likely to be taken out by Chen Wanzhen.
The calligraphy comes from the Qing Dynasty calligrapher, Yang Bingzhang, the Hanlin Academy of Hanlin Editor, with a valuation of 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, with a starting price of 300,000 yuan, and a minimum price of 10,000 yuan each time. The host asked the hostess to show the guests this holy decree in the Xianfeng period and spoke.
Although the collection that He Hongsheng took out was not as eye-catching as Yu Xiaotian's Breguet gold pocket watch, it was not bad, although Yu Xiaotian's pocket watch was unique, it was only a number and name, and there was no difference from the uniqueness of this holy decree, and the guests present did not think that Ho Hongsheng, the general manager of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, took out a holy decree of only 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, which was really much weaker than Yu Xiaotian.
"Three hundred thousand. The host gave a starting price, and someone responded immediately.
Huo Dongjun blinked his eyes, and several prices had been given in a row, and they had climbed from the original 300,000 to 470,000.
made Huo Dongjun not know whether to sigh whether it was the Holy Decree or He Hongsheng who was in demand.
Helena Grenwell's inquiring tone asked Huo Dongjun, "Aren't you here for him?"
"Don't worry, let those people grab it first. Huo Dongjun picked up a piece of fruit with a fork and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely.
Huo Jianwen over there began to bid when the price exceeded 700,000 yuan, and he did not flinch, and he had the strength to fight to the end, and every time the price was raised, it was 50,000 yuan, and the price of this holy decree was easily called to 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
After one million Hong Kong dollars, there are a lot fewer people who speak again, because those people know that this holy decree cannot be less than one million to be photographed, and speaking out is just a sense of saving zĂ i, and by the way, I hope to leave a good impression on the Macau gambling king, such as his eagerness.
But Huo Dongjun is sure that those who spoke before, He Hongsheng may not even remember the voice, let alone others.
"One and a half million. Yu Xiaotian, chairman of the board of directors of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in the first row, actually opened his mouth to quote the price once, and directly raised the price by 200,000 yuan, reaching the valuation of 1.2 million yuan.
As soon as Yu Xiaotian spoke, there were more than a dozen people who were ready to speak, and these people did not dare to judge that Yu Xiaotian opened his mouth at this time to increase the price of 200,000 yuan, whether he was ready to embarrass He Hongsheng or wanted to praise He Hongsheng's field, although He Hongsheng is the gambling king of Macau, but Yu Xiaotian is a veteran Justice of the Peace, 80% of Hong Kong's public housing estates are built by him by winning the bid, and his status in Hong Kong's real estate industry is also in the forefront.
Therefore, Yu Xiaotian's offer this time made the enthusiastic scene just now suddenly cool down, and the people who were ready to bid looked at each other, looked at the previous opponent, and made eye contact, hoping to get some hints about Yu Xiaotian's bid.
"One million two hundred thousand for the first time. â
"One and two million for the second time. â
Huo Dongjun swallowed the watermelon in his mouth slowly, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin casually, raised his hand, and said in the quiet hall:
"Two million. â
The audience changed from silence to uproar, everyone followed the prestige to Huo Dongjun, Yu Xiaotian's attitude of raising the price by 200,000 yuan at a time was unknown, this young man actually quoted a high price again, and it exceeded the price given by Yu Xiaotian by 800,000?
Even the auctioneer couldn't believe it, and was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to his senses: "This gentleman from H4 bid two million. â
Yu Xiaotian, He Hongsheng, Chen Wanzhen, Lian Zhihong and others in the first row all turned their heads to look at Huo Dongjun, Huo Dongjun raised the wine in his hand and greeted and smiled at a few people.
"Two million for the first time. â
"Two million and one million. "As soon as the auctioneer said it once, someone else offered again.
They were surprised by Yu Xiaotian's attitude, but they didn't care about Huo Dongjun, since Huo Dongjun had just made the first bird to suppress Yu Xiaotian's price, naturally everyone could continue to shoot.
"Two million 120 thousand. â
"Two million 180 thousand. â
"Two million 190 thousand. â
Prices are slowly starting to rise again.
The other auction items only took one or two minutes at most, three or four minutes is already more, only Yu Xiaotian and He Hongsheng are the two most time-consuming, Yu Xiaotian's pocket watch took about ten minutes, and He Hongsheng's holy decree has now been five or six minutes, and it seems that it will continue.
"Three million. Huo Dongjun waited for the price to pass two million and raised his hand again.
The audience fell silent again, because whether it was the auction at the charity dinner or the auction at the auction house, there were no freaks with such bids, everyone should bite each other and slowly stalemate, so that although the auction items are in contention, the price will not be too high, but now the total price increase of this young man with a blonde beauty has reached 1.6 million, accounting for more than half of the current auction price.
"I don't believe you dare to play like this forever!3.2 million!" A middle-aged man at the next table said in an unhappy tone, raising his hand and quoting 200,000.
He is a lawyer of a society, and he came to the dinner this time to auction off the auction items donated by Ho Hongsheng, show favor to Ho Hongsheng, and then hope to get the right to operate a new hotel gambling hall in Macau.
"Four million. Huo Dongjun didn't wait for the other party to put down his hand, and he had already spoken again.
The well-known lawyer exhaled heavily and looked at Huo Dongjun, Huo Dongjun shrugged: "I don't dare to play like this forever, you might as well add it again, I will probably bid again without money." â
The price has been increased by 800,000 yuan three times in a row, with a total price increase of 2.4 million, even if Huo Dongjun said that he was likely to bid next time, others couldn't believe it, and people began to talk to each other to understand the identity of this young man.
Some visitors who often go to sea to gamble a few times gave Huo Dongjun's news, which suddenly made the people who wanted to fight again die down, it turned out that the two luxuriously decorated "Princess" gambling ships on the high seas belonged to this young man?
"Four million for the first time. â
"Four million for the second time. â
"Four million for the third time. â
"Congratulations to this gentleman at the H4 table, for taking this Xianfeng five-color brocade 'Decree'!" the host shouted excitedly.
Although the final auction price was not as high as Yu Xiaotian's gold pocket watch, it was a different value of the item, but Huo Dongjun's move of opening his mouth three times and increasing the price three times was more heartbreaking than the fat man who auctioned the gold pocket watch with 24 million Hong Kong dollars before.
Huo Dongjun got up and signaled to all the guests in the hall, and then went to the stage to receive the holy decree, and He Hongsheng also walked up to the stage and took a group photo with Huo Dongjun smiling and warmly shaking hands.
This is Huo Dongjun's first contact with the Macau gambling king, the sixty-seven-year-old Ho Hongsheng has no old age at all when he raises his hands and feet, his movements are vigorous, his figure is straight, and there is no depression on his face, you know, before this charity dinner, Ho Hongsheng failed to grab a valuable piece of land in Macau, which was originally in his pocket.
After shaking hands with Huo Dongjun, He Hongsheng smiled and said:
"Thank you Mr. Huo for supporting the development of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, with your support, we can build one more community restaurant. â
"Yes, if you really build an extra community restaurant, it is also the gift of Dr. Ho's holy decree, I just reluctantly express my heart, as for charity, Dr. Ho has always been a pioneer in Hong Kong, please give me more guidance when you have time. Huo Dongjun said in a humble tone.
He Hongsheng smiled and nodded: "Definitely, definitely." â
The two only talked this time, and after letting the media take a group photo, they went off the stage and returned to their positions, and when the next auction item began to be auctioned on the stage, and everyone was attracted to attention, Huo Dongjun turned back inadvertently, Huo Jianwen was looking at him eagerly, the corners of Huo Dongjun's mouth turned up, and he nodded lightly at him.
The whole charity auction dinner ended at nearly 10 o'clock, and a special statistician reported that a total of 42,735,000 yuan was raised.
Throughout the dinner, Huo Dongjun and Huo Jianwen donated a total of nearly 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars, slightly more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars than previously expected.
As he left the banquet hall, a waiter from the hotel politely approached and said:
"Sir, Madam, our wine bar is open. â
Before Helena Grenwell could react, Huo Dongjun had already said, "Please take us over for trouble." â
The waiter led the way in front and took the elevator to the seventh-floor red bar, Huo Dongjun saw at a glance the assistant who had appeared in front of He Hongsheng in the red bar, and at this time he walked over and said to Huo Dongjun with a calm face:
"Mr. Huo, please take a seat, Mr. He will come over later. â
"Thank you. â
After Huo Dongjun said thank you, he sat down with Helena Grenwell, and just after sitting down, Huo Jianwen had already walked in alone from outside the door.
