Chapter 202: Charity Auctions Are Also Business

If the murderer's father and son know the Xuanmen technique, there are various ways to make people disappear silently in the world.

Burying the body deep in the pit seems to be safe, but in fact there are many loopholes.

Hangzhou is a first-tier city in China, and the land inside and outside the city is valuable.

In case one day this area is demolished.

The bones buried by them will be exposed at any time.

Judging from the modus operandi, the murderer's father and son do not look like people in the Xuanmen.

Chen Yu couldn't judge their location, and this matter seemed suspicious.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Halfway through, the phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was Wang Dequan's call, Chen Yu picked up the phone easily.

"Dr. Chan, do you have time tonight?"

"If so, I'd like to invite you to an auction."

On the phone, Wang Dequan clearly stated what he meant.

Not long ago, Chen Yu asked Wang Dequan to help find a lot of rare things.

Wang De, who knew nothing about the metaphysics of feng shui, was surprised to find that all that Chen Yu was looking for were high-quality materials for making magic weapons.

It is speculated that during this time, Chen Yu should be making magic weapons on a large scale.

Tonight's auction will feature many rare antiques.

And the finale is a 200-year-old wild ginseng.

Wang Dequan thinks that Chen Yu will definitely be interested in this auction.

"I'll go back now, and later, you can pick me up at the psychiatric clinic."

Chen Yu, who often sees auction scenes in movies, is somewhat curious about the real auction.

In addition, there are many things that will appear in the auction, and many of them are things that Chen Yu is interested in.

Chen Yu immediately followed the good and agreed to Wang Dequan's invitation.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Wang Dequan personally drove over.

Pick up Chen Yu and go to a private club in the city.

The auction will be held here.

One invited guest, one or two companions can be brought.

Due to the large amount of money involved in the auction, each invited guest needs to pay a deposit of 2 million in advance.

"Dr. Chen, tell me in advance what you want to buy, and I'll pay for it for you."

Hearing this, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Boss Wang, you don't have anything to ask me, right?" ”

"Dr. Chan misunderstood, I had no intention of doing so, it was just ...... I just feel that instead of buying randomly, it is better to help you buy what you need. ”

Wang Dequan showed an embarrassed expression.

The auction is charitable in nature.

The proceeds will go to a charitable foundation.

It is used to help out-of-school children and provide infrastructure funds for some poor areas.

Since Chen Yu suggested that Wang Dequan do more good deeds and accumulate good fortune.

There are no large and small charity activities in Hangzhou, and Wang De does not go away.

In just over a month, Wang Dequan has become one of the top philanthropists in Hangzhou's charity industry.

"So that's what you think, hahaha."

Chen Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

A businessman is a businessman.

Be budget-conscious at all times.

By attending frequent charity events, you can gain fame and accumulate merit and good fortune.

On the other hand, he helped Chen Yu buy things he was interested in and further deepened his relationship with Chen Yu.

Kill two birds with one stone.

A short time later, the car was parked in the parking lot in front of the clubhouse.

It was 7:40 p.m., and the parking lot was full of all kinds of luxury cars.

The two doormen trotted all the way and politely opened the doors on both sides.

After confirming his identity, the doorman led the way.

The two were led to the hall of the clubhouse.

After a temporary renovation, the hall was turned into an auction venue.

An auction table was set up in front of it.

There are dozens of chairs in the middle.

"Why are there so many foreigners?"

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment.

It was not the same auction he imagined.

The guests who participated in the auction were not only some Chinese, but also many foreigners.

Skin tones vary, both men and women, young and old.

Wang Dequan introduced: "Many of the things that appear in today's auction are cultural antiques. ”

"It has always been popular to collect cultural and antique antiques in our country abroad, so auctions like this must be indispensable for foreigners."

Chen Yu nodded, and followed Wang Dequan to sit in the middle of the auction hall.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the auction officially began.

The hostess in a cheongsam, with high heels on her feet, came to the stage with a tray in an elegant posture.

The auctioneer picked up a snuff bottle from the tray and began to introduce the object in all its aspects.

Praise the snuff bottle as the top grade in the Qing Dynasty snuff bottle.

The workmanship is light and the craftsmanship is unique.

The glaze formula has long been lost.

Whether it is workmanship, shape, glaze.

They are all rare and excellent products.

If you want to make such a perfect snuff bottle, the right time and place are right, and all three are indispensable.

"I announce that the starting price of this snuff bottle is 200,000, and each increase must not be less than 20,000."

"We welcome your bids."

Offstage, Chen Yu was dumbfounded.

A snuff bottle in the middle of the Qing Dynasty was praised by the auctioneer as a rare and rare masterpiece in the sky and rare on the ground.

I don't know, I thought I was talking about a national treasure.

Wang Dequan smiled: "Does Dr. Chen think that the auctioneer is a little too exaggerated?" ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "You can't overdo it, it's just a little unrealistic." ”

As far as Chen Yu knows, snuff bottles are extremely large in existence.

Even the snuff bottles that come out of the palace are not necessarily rare treasures.

Wang Dequan said: "Three hundred and sixty lines, all lines are business. ”

"All the money from this auction will be used for charity, but the auction organizers will not really go hungry to do charity."

"They'll take a portion of the gross income as a commission."

"The more the auctioneer praises, the more curious it will be."

"In turn, it attracted a large number of guests to bid for the auction."

"Dr. Chen, look left and right."

"There were some listless guests just now, are they all full of energy now?"

The corner of Chen Yu's eyes swept to the left and right.

The situation is indeed as Wang Dequan said.

Among the guests sitting on both sides of the party, there were many young children from rich families.

At the beginning of the auction, these people either looked down and played with their phones, or looked uninterested.

Now it's all about spirit.

Indeed, everything is business.

Even charity auctions need to be blown up in order to get the most bang for their buck.

In the end, the snuffbox was auctioned by a rich boy for 480,000 yuan.

"How's that money?"

Chen Yu was puzzled: "So many people enthusiastically bid, and the final transaction price did not even exceed 500,000 yuan." ”

"In the past, in order to shoot a thing, I often bid for 18 million, and it was common for me to exceed 100 million."

Wang Dequan said with tears and laughter: "Dr. Chen, yes, reality is reality. ”

"When I'm usually fine, I also have an interest in passing the time."

"Every time I see someone bidding hundreds of millions or billions at an auction, just to compete for a lot, my stomach will burst with laughter."
