Chapter 68: Charity Auctions
In Lu Shuhang's eyes, Li Siwen has always been humble and polite, mature and steady, not only has super high business acumen, but also has a surprising overall view.
But the closer he got, the more he felt that his evaluation was too superficial, and Li Siwen was far more complicated than he imagined.
The other party's body seems to contain some kind of mysterious power, and he will always make some unreasonable choices, even if it is the well-informed Lu Shuhang, he will always be stunned.
At the beginning, he forced Jiang Zhentao to kneel in the hospital, and at this time, he didn't take Lu Ming, the richest man in Caozhou, seriously at all, but everyone who worked hard in the shopping mall knew that he would leave a line in life, but Li Siwen often did the opposite.
Is it a matter of will? Or is it impulsive?
Lu Shuhang couldn't see through it, he only knew that he had a strong interest in Li Siwen, and he wanted to watch this young man go on all the time, but he was also looking forward to the day when the other party "fell".
Lu Shuhang's thoughts are normal, after all, he doesn't know that Li Siwen is reborn,
A capital predator who was once worth tens of billions of dollars has long seen through the falsehood in the business world, and he is even more tired of the way of this circle.
Therefore, in this life, whether he makes friends or does things, he will most likely do things according to his heart, to put it bluntly, he will do whatever he wants, he will put his feelings and conscience first, and not compromise at the feet of interests like in his previous life.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to participate in this fundraising activity organized by the Propaganda Department of the Caozhou Municipal Party Committee and the Cultural Bureau, the theme of this event is to let love move forward......
A presenter in a formal dress stood on the podium in front of him and began to introduce the event, and the chattering crowd began to take their seats one by one.
"Editor-in-Chief Lu, Vice City Sun has already arranged a position for you, in front." A man with glasses in a tie said politely to Lu Shuhang.
"Secretary Liu, tell Vice City Sun that I will sit in the back with this little friend today." After Lu Shuhang finished speaking, he waved his hand.
"Okay." After Secretary Liu finished speaking, he left.
At this time, Lu Shuhang smiled and said to Li Siwen: "Let's go, let's sit in the back." β
"It seems that this location is also very particular!" Li Siwen muttered.
"Of course, those sitting in front, in addition to the cadres in the city, are the leaders of some pillar industries in the city, the director of the electronics factory, the president of the chemical plant, the director of the grain and oil bureau, the director of the fertilizer factory, the director of the steel plant, and so on......"
Li Siwen knows that most of the so-called pillar industries are state-owned enterprises, after all, in this era, the privatization of state-owned enterprises is not perfect, and it is difficult to enter this circle without a background, which also creates the corruption and downhill road of state-owned enterprises, and it was not until 1994 that some moths were eliminated after the in-depth reform of state-owned enterprises.
Of course, before the reform, these things looked like everything, and they were quite awesome.
"Next, I would like to invite our Vice Sun to speak......"
The host's voice came, and Sun Luochun walked up to the podium, holding the microphone and starting a new round of high-minded talk.
Ten minutes later, Sun Luochun invited Lu Ming, Lu Ming is a representative of a private company, so naturally there are some clichΓ©s.
Li Siwen was almost asleep, and after watching the sun slanting in from outside, the charity auction officially began.
"I have led every year's charitable donations, and today is no exception." Lu Ming stood on the podium and ordered his subordinates to take up a box, and then he took out a fist-sized porcelain bowl from the box.
Seeing Lu Ming's things, everyone immediately became interested, and some even stood up from their seats.
"Friends, this is the Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl I bought from an old friend a few years ago, and the specific value should be handed over to our Yan Lao to see!" After Lu Ming finished speaking, he saw an old man with white hair walk up to the podium, he smiled, and as soon as he came on stage, he teased: "Boss Lu's things, there's no need for me to see them, right?" β
"Elder Yan is well-informed, let's introduce it to everyone." Lu Ming said politely.
Yan Lao nodded, took the porcelain bowl and looked at it.
"This Yan Lao is the curator here, and he is very good at appraising antiques." Lu Shuhang lowered his voice and said: "In each event, everyone donates the most antique calligraphy and paintings, in order to prevent someone from thinking that it is true, so we have to ask Yan Lao to appraise the price." β
Li Siwen nodded and whispered, "Then wouldn't it be embarrassing if you saw a fake thing?" β
This situation is not unprecedented, but Yan Lao will not say it directly, he will only tell the donor that the items are too complicated and he can't tell the truth or fake, and everyone will know it. Therefore, people who donate antiques will prepare two or three items, in order to prevent fakes, after all, these rich people are not experts, and it is normal to buy fakes. Lu Shuhang explained.
"It's quite rigorous." Li Siwen smiled.
At this time, Yan Lao had already put the porcelain bowl back, nodded and said: "Boss Lu is right, this is a Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl, from Jingdezhen, not only the composition is plump, the layers are not chaotic, and the glaze is almost perfect, not only can make people feel the visual impact, but also make people deeply impressed by this atmospheric and heroic artistic inspiration. β
"Genuine, full of genuineness." After Yan Lao finished speaking, he gave a thumbs up.
Lu Ming smiled slightly, revealing a very smug look, and then said, "Old Yan, you can give me an estimate!" β
"Since it is a fundraising activity, our price naturally can't be too high, two thousand, this is already the very low price I gave, if this porcelain bowl enters the market, it is worth at least 10,000 yuan."
After Yan Lao finished speaking, there was an exclamation below, what does 10,000 yuan mean? In this era, it represents 10,000 households, and it is no exaggeration to say that the assets of this value can exceed 99% of the people in the country.
Even the state-owned enterprise bigwigs sitting in the first two rows showed a hint of surprise.
"Boss Lu is really generous today!"
"Yes, I remember that he just donated a pair of words last time, and the value is much lower than this porcelain bowl."
"This head is unexpected!"
The people below were talking one after another, all admiring Lu Ming's strength and courage.
"I really didn't expect Lu Ming to donate such valuable items, it seems that today's charity auction is no longer charity." Lu Shuhang whispered, suddenly looked at Li Siwen and said, "Could it be because of your appearance?" β
"Am I that scary?" Li Siwen shrugged his shoulders.
"It's not because you're scary, it's just that as soon as you appeared, this event was full of gunpowder, and everyone must be ready to show their faces." Lu Shuhang pursed his lips and smiled: "I am looking forward to the contest between you and He Yuan." β
