Chapter 99: Charity Auction
While...... As the clock struck eight, all the guests stopped the discussion with smiles.
"The first auction of the New Year has officially begun."
As the auctioneer fell, a picture of Hyochun Chaozhu appeared on the big screen below.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first lot is the pearl of Empress Xiaochun, the last empress of the Qing Dynasty."
"When the emperor and queen of the Qing Dynasty and the ministers of civil and military affairs wore court clothes or auspicious clothes, they needed to wear court beads. Each plate of pearls is composed of one hundred and eight round beads, decorated with a Buddha's head, followed by a 'back cloud' hanging on the back. There are also three strings of small beads on both sides of the morning beads, which are called 'memorials'. Its texture is diverse, including eastern pearl, coral, lapis lazuli, dense amber, jadeite...... And this string is an extremely rare pearl made of one hundred and eight East Pearls of the same size! β
Lang Yuanqing looked at the screen with a wooden face, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
It's a shame.
Who would have thought that the famous Niu Hulu clan would actually be auctioned off their ancestors' items?
"If it weren't for the fact that the country looked at us as former imperial relatives and gave us a piece of Dongzhu collection land, I'm afraid it would be ......"
"Dad." Without waiting for him to finish thinking, a middle-aged man beside him gritted his teeth and said, "We...... Is there really no hope of getting back the relics of the ancestors this time? β
Lang Yuanqing lowered his eyes: "Hope? β
"Langxing Pearl has been in business for more than 80 years and is only a medium-sized enterprise, where is the hope?"
He couldn't help but raise his voice a little: "If a few of you have a little focus on your career, Andes will send Chaozhu back!" Instead of us licking our faces and coming to buy!! β
On the main stage, the auctioneer bowed deeply: "The auction begins, please bid." β
Almost at the same time, in the VIP room, Zhao Ziluo said without hesitation: "Ten million!" β
Xiangling, who was operating the computer to shout the price, was stunned, but immediately understood.
This is to tell everyone that he is determined to win this string of pearls!
Brush ββ! In the main auction room, rows of data were instantly swiped on the screen.
"Number 17, five million!"
The auctioneer's voice suddenly rose and he shouted excitedly.
"Five and a half million."
"Six million!!"
"Seven million!"
"Seven and a half million!"
Without waiting for Lang Yuanqing to breathe a sigh of relief, several calls followed.
"No. 03, ten million!!"
On the seat below, Lang Yuanqing almost stood up!!
"Ten million?" He made an offer, knowing very well in his heart that this person was likely to be their final opponent.
This 10 million is to proclaim the world.
At the same time, it is also bright muscles.
In the entertainment industry, charity can offset individual income tax.
But those who have to pay tens of millions of taxes are all kings and queens in the circle, super bosses.
No one wants to fight with these people if it is not necessary.
However, this string of pearls, he is also determined to win!!
Taking a deep breath, he didn't hesitate to raise his card again.
"Number 17, eleven million!"
Sure enough, Bright Muscle is very effective.
Lang Yuanqing waited for five seconds before a second offer appeared.
"No. 21, one thousand and one hundred thousand!"
"Do you have any other friends to offer?"
"As you know, most of the Emperor's belongings are in museums. There are only two things that flow out, if you miss this one. I'm afraid I won't have a chance next time! β
As soon as the voice fell, No. 03 quoted again!
"Fifteen million!"
Sure enough, it was him...... When the final opponent was determined, Lang Yuanqing was not in a hurry.
"No. 17, twenty million!" When the auctioneer saw the offer, he was so excited that his voice was a little raised.
Warm-up lots 20 million!
It's all on the record!
And it looks ...... Neither of these parties wants to give in!
"Are there any bids?"
"And that friend is interested in Chaozhu...... Twenty-five million! 03 25 million!! β
"...... "Who is this?" "Got angry?"
Suddenly, the discussion below exploded, and his eyes swept around the VIP room above in disbelief.
"Dad, it looks like No. 03 is going to fight us to the end!" Beside Lang Yuanqing, a middle-aged man was a little anxious: "We have taken out the profit of most of last year, and now we have shouted 60%!" β
Lang Yuanqing pursed his lips vigorously: "Go on." β
"But Dad......"
"I said go on!" Lang Yuanqing did not hesitate: "Three million plus one!" This pearl is not worth this money, and 20 million is already double the premium! I don't believe he'll buy it at a premium of three times! β
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and operated quickly.
When 28 million appeared on the offer board, the whole scene was boiling!
"Twenty-eight million! 28 million on the 17th!! The auctioneer's voice was a little hoarse, and it was no longer a question of whether he wanted to control it or not.
It's impossible to control at all!
Blood pressure rushes to the top of the head!
Even if you put it on the finale, it's not very rare!
"Do you want to follow?" In the VIP room, Xiangling also became nervous.
Personally operating the auction of close to 30 million, this excitement is simply unparalleled!
"Follow!"
Zhao Ziluo also did not hesitate.
Absolute tone, he has to take it!
Xiangling took a deep breath: "You calm down, and if you follow it again, the premium will be three times!" β
"Follow." Zhao Ziluo's voice was very decisive.
Three seconds later, the number that appeared on the screen made everyone's eyes fall to the ground!
"Thirty-five million?" A first-line singer looked at the screen dumbfounded, and then looked around: "Is the world crazy or am I crazy?" β
However, more people in the entertainment industry, whether it is film and television or music, are all looking at the VIP seats.
Definitely a great god!
At least the status of the god of music and the top director!
The income of tens of millions a year on the first line, the king of heaven is less than 100 million before tax.
No one buys an item at a premium several times.
Only writing songs is printing money, and making movies and television is brushing money, and a bigwig of this level dares to squander it like this!
"Dad! Do you want to add more? Around Lang Yuanqing, the voices of several sons and daughters were a little out of tune.
Now the situation has completely exceeded their expectations!
"We had planned for a maximum of 25 million, but now it's too much! It will affect next year's industrial layout! β
Lang Yuanqing felt that his lips were a little dry.
At this point in the auction, it is already difficult to ride a tiger.
He wanted to get his ancestors' belongings back.
But I also don't want to offend the big guy on the second floor.
The audience fell silent, as if waiting for Seventeen's decision.
The auctioneer raised a small hammer: "Empress Xiaochun Chaozhu, the current price is thirty-five million!" Is there still a quote? β
"Everyone, don't miss the time."
"Thirty-five million for the first time!"
"Thirty-five million for the second time!"
"Three Thousand ......"
Before the second word could fall, the audience let out a cry of exclamation.
Number 17, 40 million!
Nearly four times the premium!
"Four...... 40 million ......" The auctioneer was stunned for three seconds, and then shouted: "Forty million on the seventeenth!" Who else is bidding? β
"Dad......" Around Lang Yuanqing, the children stopped talking.
Million.
Stud!
That's all the cash they can get their hands on!
Lang Yuanqing didn't answer, just stared at the screen.
Don't go out again......
He prayed silently in his heart.
"Do you want to come out again?" In the VIP room on the second floor, Xiangling's forehead was also full of beads of sweat: "Quadruple premium!" Teacher Kong Fang, don't be discouraged! β
"The auction is moving, that is the bottomless pit!"
Zhao Ziluo's heart also hung up.
No wonder the task was: to get the first lot.
This Niu Hulu clan is determined to win!
And his cash has run out.
"Since his debut, Li Chuhan's four songs, three consecutive championships in August, September and October, and Mrs. Luxiang...... These are all songs I wrote before I signed with the company, so I got the lion's share. β
"But it's more than 50 million in total."
"If you invest all of it, even if you get the absolute sound, the plan of financial freedom will be postponed......"
Which is more important?
Thirty seconds flew by, and the auctioneer raised the hammer again.
The auctioneer raised the small hammer: "Empress Xiaochun Chaozhu, the current price is 40 million!" Is there still a quote? β
"Everyone, don't miss the time."
"Forty million for the first time!"
In the VIP room, Xiangling wanted to remind Zhao Ziluo.
But eventually shut up.
In her opinion, this is already very uneconomical.
"Forty million for the second time!"
At this moment, Zhao Ziluo finally decided.
"Quote."
His voice was calm: "Forty-three million." β
With the entertainment works of the whole earth on the back, it is not difficult to be free of wealth.
But absolute tonality misses may not be the case again!
As for the money for filming Zhen Huan's biography......
it!
Take one step at a time!
With his words, Xiangling quickly typed.
"Forty million third...... Forty-three million! 43 million!! β
The auctioneer is almost bursting!
In the ordinary seats below, all the stars were shocked by this price and were speechless.
"Crazy." A diva took out a fan and fanned the wind while exhaling: "It's crazy......"
"Forty million...... Just to buy a pearl...... It's scary! β
There was a lot of discussion.
And at the moment when the forty-three million came out, Lang Yuanqing closed his eyes in despair.
Come with the ambition to win.
Unexpectedly, he returned home.
The regret in my heart is difficult to express in words.
The son next to him was relieved: "Dad, it's okay if you don't buy it, after all, 40 million is still very important to Langxing Jewelry......
"You know!" Lang Yuanqing opened his eyes and scolded angrily: "The ancestor left this little thing!" I don't know which loser sold it back then! Now let it go?! β
"Where did you come from without her? Where did you come from? Darn! β
Before he could finish his angry rebuke, the voice of the announcement had already sounded.
"Empress Xiaochun Dongzhu Chaozhu, 43 million."
His voice was already a little hoarse, but now, his emotions had calmed down.
"Has anyone else bid?"
After waiting for thirty seconds, he shouted, "Forty-three million for the first time." β
"Forty-three million for the second time!"
"Forty-three million for the third time!"
Knock ββ!
The auction hammer falls.
"Congratulations to Buyer 03! Purchased the pearl of the queen of Hyochun!! β
When he heard this voice, in the VIP room, Zhao Ziluo breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xiangling also slumped in her position and muttered, "Forty-three million to buy a string of pearls...... You're a little nervous. β
Zhao Ziluo smiled and didn't explain much.
But just when he was about to look at the system, he suddenly froze in place like a thunderbolt, looked up and said blankly: "How much?" β
"Forty-three million!!"
"I know I regret it! More than 40 million! β
Zhao Ziluo blinked and his eyes widened.
He just suddenly calculated the account in his heart.
I wanted to calculate how much money I had left. After the results were calculated, I suddenly found ......
From his debut, he should be able to have more than 90 million ......
Multiply......
"Forty million, exactly about 40%."
This Nima ......
He got it all.
"Isn't this a personal income tax?!"
"I didn't have to pay taxes before the reward, but what are you waiting for me here?!"
This works.
It's too sassy.
It's so painful that my heart hurts like a knife!
Teacher Kong Fang...... What happened to you? β
Xiangling suddenly noticed that Zhao Ziluo's facial features were a little distorted, covered her chest, and hurriedly asked anxiously.
That's 40 million spent out, heartache to the point of sudden arrest?
Zhao Ziluo waved his hand with pain on his face, and the sourness was not enough for outsiders.
"The reward given out can still be recovered with a secondary reward?"
"I'm also taking this sixth child!"
This wave.
This wave is the system that predicted his prediction!
He thought he was on the fifth floor.
But.
The system is in the atmosphere!
He said indifferently in his mind: "Woman, you'd better give me an explanation. β
Dingββ!
Here comes the explanation of the system.
"Congratulations to the host, completing the special task of the secondary owner line."
"Reward: Absolute Pitch has been distributed."
"Note that absolute tonality is the highest talent in music. It cannot coexist with the 'absolute color sense' of the color art department and the 'brain black hole' of the film and television department. β
This Nima ...... I can't get angry.
Zhao Ziluo closed his eyes, and his mind was slightly numb. A warm current poured in from his cochlea, and he seemed to hear a click, as if something had been opened.
Unfortunately, the VIP room was very quiet and he couldn't hear anything special.
Well...... Xiangling's heavy wheezing voice didn't count.
He couldn't help but open his mobile phone and clicked on a song by Li Chuhan "As you wish." β
Once he listened to this song, he felt that the other party had sung it very well.
But now it sounds like there are still many flaws!
"The seventh word of the chorus is not accurate...... The fifth word of the second sentence of the second paragraph is a quarter of a beat lower...... Shall I go, so godly? β
These flaws may not be noticeable even to professional music teachers.
But just a cursory listen, and the flaws were as dazzling as fireflies in the night sky!
He listened to the songs one by one, and quickly discerned them in his mind. And Xiangling next to her was already stunned.
Ahh......hhh Is this a quasi-three-star Leshen?
Just shot out more than 40 million, and in the last second, I was so heartbroken that I covered my chest, turned my head and started listening to the song.
Completely incomprehensible!
Kong Fang, this person.
Poisonous!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Boom...... The mallet gently tapped on the tabletop: "Congratulations to the No. 03 guest, who won the pearl of Queen Xiaochun!" β
"Let's go." Lang Yuanqing was sad from his heart, shook his head, stood up and left.
"Dad...... We're just leaving? As soon as she reached the door, a woman couldn't help but speak.
Just then, a staff member walked over.
"Mr. Lang, Guest 03 invites you to his room for a chat."
"Don't go!" The middle-aged man snorted: "What? Are you here to show us off? Go back and tell him that you don't have to! β
"Presumptuous!" Lang Yuanqing finally couldn't help it, and glanced at the other party with hatred.
Then he turned his head and said to the waiter with a smile: "Xiaoxu doesn't need to, we still have important matters, we have to rush back to Liaodong immediately." β
The top boss in the entertainment industry, he doesn't want to and can't offend.
The staff said in a low voice: "Guest No. 03 said that there is no other meaning for you to go." β
"It's just that there are some questions I need to ask you about that string of pearls."
"As long as you agree, that string of pearls will be given to you as a greeting gift."
Lang Yuanqing's pupils contracted slightly, and the three children around him couldn't help but take a deep breath.
More than 40 million pearls, just send them?
This...... Where is it sacred?
The middle-aged man's attitude was no longer a trace of badness, but said in a low voice: "May I ask if VIP No. 03 is ......?"
"Lead the way."
Without waiting for him to finish, Lang Yuanqing had already spoken without hesitation.
As the waiter went upstairs and pushed open the door, when he saw the people in the room, he couldn't help but say, "You are...... Teacher Kong Fang? β
"You know me, too?" Zhao Ziluo smiled and asked the other party to sit down.
Lang Yuanqing's eyes were full of surprise!
He thought about who had to buy Chaozhu, but he never expected that it would be the famous Kong Fang!
"How could you not know!" He suppressed his excitement and smiled: "Any jewelry business, no matter how big or small, is inseparable from the entertainment industry." β
"Although Langxing Pearl is small, it has also invited several celebrities to endorse. How is it possible not to know the name of the teacher? β
As he spoke, his mind spun rapidly.
Why is he looking for himself?
Now how many artists want to ask him to invite songs, if he is willing to support himself, Langxing Pearl will develop rapidly!
His heart began to beat wildly.
Maybe...... Not buying a pearl is not a bad thing!
Zhao Ziluo got straight to the point: "Mr. Lang, I don't know if you've heard of it, Niu Hulu. Zhen Huan? β
"Of course." Although Zhao Ziluo was only old enough for Lang Yuanqing's grandchildren, he was extremely respectful and smiled: "Niu Hulu. Zhen Huan, the imperial concubine of Yongzhengye, the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The loving mother of the third emperor. β
"Her father was the court official Zhen Yuandao, who was originally surnamed Zhen and later given the surname Niu Hulu. The life is very legendary. β
"Her deeds are well documented in our genealogy."
Zhao Ziluo nodded: "That's the case, I'm going to shoot a TV series with Zhen Huan as the protagonist." If Mr. Lang is willing, I would like to ask Mr. Lang to be the art director of this TV series. β
Quiescence.
There was instant silence in the room.
Lang Yuanqing, who was enthusiastic just now, seemed to be pinched by the neck in an instant. After a long time, he said in disbelief: "I'm sorry teacher, you mean...... Do you want to make a TV series? β
"Yes."
Lang Yuanqing swallowed his saliva: "But you're not ......"
Isn't it almost touching the ceiling in the music world?
This...... It's very different from what I expected!
Zhao Ziluo smiled: "People, there is always a little challenge. β
"In this TV series, I will find an actor with the best acting skills and invest 100 million."
Lang Yuanqing's lips moved several times, and finally said, "Can I ask, what position does Teacher Kong Fang hold in this TV series?" β
"Screenwriter."
"That'...... Are you wholly owned? β
"Yes, in addition, this drama adopts a screenwriter-centric system. I'm confident in its success. Zhao Ziluo said patiently: "You may not believe it, but I think it will be the next phenomenon." β
Silent.
Lang Yuanqing lowered his eyes and looked at the tea in front of him, and only said after a long time: "Teacher Kong Fang, please allow us to think about it." β
"Of course!"
Lang Yuanqing smiled and arched his hand, pushed the door and left.
Boom.
The door closed, and Zhao Ziluo and Xiangling's eyes looked at the box on the table at the same time.
Lang Yuanqing did not take the pearls.
Didn't even ask when you left.
This is a refusal.
Refused without hesitation, without even reading the script!
"That's the attitude of the industry." Xiangling said calmly: "How much reputation there is, how much backlash there will be." β
Zhao Ziluo's knuckles gently tapped the handrail.
So far, no one has been optimistic about him.
took turns to persuade Zhu Dong, Minister Zhan, Xiangling, Chen Dong......
Now even the descendants of the Niu Hulu clan, after hearing the news, were so frightened that Chaozhu didn't dare to ask for it and hurriedly left.
For fear that if he goes slowly, he will be implicated when this drama collapses.
"Interesting."
After a long time, he smiled: "Don't give money, then ...... I hope he doesn't regret it. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Boom.
In the black car, Lang Yuanqing closed the door and pressed his eyebrows hard.
"Dad, who's No. 03?" The son couldn't help but ask curiously.
Lang Yuanqing said with some complications: "It's Teacher Kong Fang." β
"Kong Fang? The songwriter of the album Over the Moon? "The author who is now so red in the music industry?"
Lang Yuanqing looked at the hopeful children and nodded: "It's him." β
"Great!" The son slapped his thigh excitedly: "If there is the help of Teacher Kong Fang, Langxing Pearl will definitely ......"
"He's going to make a TV series."
Before the words fell, everyone in the car was stupid.
"TV series?" After a while, the daughter said in disbelief: "Will he?" Does he know how to get a TV series? Crazy, isn't it? β
The son also felt incredible: "If you are lucky, you write a few red songs and are self-righteous? Think you're all-powerful in the entertainment industry? Are you kidding! β
"So I refused."
Lang Yuanqing said: "Chaozhu he originally planned to give it to me, but I didn't dare to take it." β
"How ......"
Lang Yuanqing interrupted: "With a short hand, more than 10 million things, Lang Xing doesn't dare to ask for them." β
"After this TV series is filmed, it will be Dapu. How famous Kong Fang is now, how hard he will be sprayed when the time comes! β
"Langxing Temple is small and can't withstand the big wind and waves! You remember. β
The children nodded.
The young man, who had not spoken, suddenly whispered, "But ...... What if the TV series he made exploded? β
"Think about it with your brain!" Lang Yuanqing glared at him hatefully: "This is a crossover!" Crossover! β
Not to mention the issue of tolerance in the film and television industry. What does he know when he writes songs? Know what acting is? β
"Another investment of 100 million ...... Oh, do you really think that if you find a popular star, write a script casually, and find a good director, you can make a good TV series? β
"Look at it, everyone related to this drama will become a laughing stock in the industry in the future!"
With that, he smiled.
Originally, he thought that the person who could rewrite the history of the music industry in half a year after his debut was amazing.
But now I look at it.
It's just a hairy boy.
"Young people, their hearts are always higher than the sky, and their lives are thinner than paper."
He shook his head and sighed, erased the name Kong Fang from his heart, looked up and said, "Drive." β
"Back to Liaodong."
"If Kong Fang continues to contact, it will say that I am not in the country!"
