The host Huang Jiajia watched Huo Mingwei walk away and dropped the auction hammer in his hand. Li Yuanxi got this diamond necklace, no, it was Lin Qiaoni who got it.
Because this charity gala did not require guests to pay a deposit, a hostess came immediately to collect the bidding money. Of course, if they did not have enough money, this would also give the guests time to arrange funds.
Soon, the next few bidding items were all provided by Ma Yuan. First, a Ming Dynasty jade Guanyin was sold for a high price of 3.4 million, and then a painting by Qi Baishi was sold for 9.2 million.
After that, the next step is the bidding items voluntarily provided by the guests. Ma Yuan also came on stage and said a few words, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the guests to participate. After all, the money from this auction will ultimately be used to fund the education of out-of-school children in mountainous areas, and will not reach the pockets of the guests, so every A guest who provided bidding items was actually doing charity.
Since it is for charity, of course, we cannot ask for the value of the items provided for bidding. It is just that the person offering the item is too embarrassed to bring out something that is too cheap. That would be embarrassing for himself. If no one bids and the auction fails because it is too ordinary, then that is It’s even more shameful. If such a shameful thing spreads, you will definitely be laughed at for the rest of your life. Either just sit back and stay silent, or offer something that actually has some weight to it.
Not just anyone can call a charity gala. The important reason is that if the initiator doesn't have enough dignity, he won't be able to raise funds at all, and if no one responds, the event will be a failure. Ma Yuan's identity would not cause such embarrassment. On the contrary, these rich people had already prepared the bidding items before they came. Since they decided to participate, they could not go to the party in vain. Originally, this party was not suitable for many people. Yan said that the main purpose is to get to know the boss Ma Yuan, and it is best to leave an impression on him. If he can have any business dealings with Ma Yuan's Yexing Group in the future, he will make a lot of money.
In the next session, the etiquette lady continued to bring the bidding items provided by the guests to the stage. You buy mine, I buy his, he buys yours. A high-end second-hand product exchange meeting went on smoothly and lively. , everyone is quite happy, because every time a guest offers a bid, Ma Yuan will invite the rich man to the stage to shake hands with him and have a few words. Taking pictures is not allowed. Ma Yuan never discloses his appearance to the public. The rich man We have all heard about it. But for them, it is very suitable for them to donate a million-dollar collection in exchange for a chance encounter with Ma Yuan, a wealthy man.
Lin Qiaoni had already put on the diamond necklace. While watching the auction on the stage, she stroked the necklace with her hands from time to time. This was the beloved thing of one of the most famous women in the world, Marilyn Moraine, and now she was wearing it around her neck. , Lin Qiaoni has an unreal feeling like dreaming. In the past years, when she was at her worst, she had felt that the world was unkind to her, but tonight, she felt so lucky.
"Thank you."
"You've said it five times, just be happy."
Lin Qiaoni has always known that Li Yuanxi likes her. Although she doesn't hate Li Yuanxi, she even likes him because of his sunny and handsome appearance. It's just not that kind of liking, it's just being friends, which is very comfortable.
Lin Qiaoni was also well aware of Huo Mingwei and Ning Fei's overtures. They had only known each other for a long time, and they could not even talk about feelings, let alone like them. It's just that Lin Qiaoni is like most college girls. She will not sell herself for material things, but she will also have material desires and vanity, which is the most normal and ordinary girl's heart. If two super rich second-generation people appeared around them, ordinary girls would not be bored and chase them away. At least they could take them to see the world, see the glitz of the world that can only be seen on TV, and play the role of illusory talents. The princess from the fairy tale appears.
But when the two of them were bidding on the necklace, Lin Qiaoni was at a loss. First of all, no one else said clearly that it was a gift for her. They were bidding there themselves, and they might have bought it as a gift for someone else. She had no control over it. Secondly, she really wanted this necklace. Any girl at Nanhai University would want it, including Chen Xiaolu, who came from a good background.
It wasn't until Li Yuanxi took action that Lin Qiaoni reacted. Her heart was tangled at that time. On the one hand, she was horrified that Li Yuanxi had paid so much money. No matter where the money came from, Li Yuanxi would pay the price. This was her worry. But on the other hand, if she had to bear the love of a man in order to get the necklace, among Huo Mingwei, Ning Fei and Li Yuanxi, she would rather be Li Yuanxi. So she hoped that Li Yuanxi could win, but she was also worried that he would win. As for Xu Qian, she had never thought that such a stingy guy would be unwilling to give her an evening dress today. It was only in her brain that she expected Xu Qian to give her such an expensive thing.
When she learned that Li Yuanxi borrowed the money from Xu Qian, she felt relieved. If it was Xu Qian's money, then forget about it. This guy made money too easily. She had fought with him several times. This guy didn't say anything as a gift to himself. He spent 30,000 yuan on it at first. Lin Qiaoni had been feeling that she had been deceived by Xu Qian in the past few days, and was looking for a reason to give Xu Qian a break. Since Xu Qian borrowed the money, she asked Li Yuanxi not to pay it back. She would make this clear to Xu Qian, so that this kid would know that he was in the wrong.
The contest between Ning Fei and Huo Mingwei is not over yet tonight. Both of them are here on behalf of their families, so naturally they have prepared bidding items. Generally speaking, the more important the collection is, the more it is placed at the end, but the final The auction price does not necessarily get higher as it goes forward. Since it is an auction, it also depends on the recognition and bidding of the bidders present.
It’s Ning Fei’s turn to offer the bidding item, which is Omega’s “Exclusive No. 8 Collection” series, including 35 limited edition watches, with a global limited edition. The starting price was 2.7 million, and the final price was 9 million.
Ning Fei was very satisfied with the final price. The money would not go back to the Ning family's pockets, but everyone understood that this was the Ning family's sincerity towards Ma Yuan. The more expensive the price, the more sincere it was.
He looked at Huo Mingwei provocatively, his meaning was very obvious, where is your Huo family? Can the competing products fetch such a high price?
The collections to be auctioned were decided after family discussions and were equivalent to how much they were willing to spend to have first contact with Ma Yuan. But the bidding for the necklace just now was different. It was all money, but it was to please a woman. If it was less, it would be better to say that if the value was similar to or even exceeded the value of the competing product, the family would definitely punish it. So Ning Fei could only retreat in the end.
Then came the Huo family’s bidding items. Everyone is looking forward to it, because this is theoretically the final collection tonight, and even more interested people want to see who has a higher value collection between the Huo family and the Ning family.
"Next, is the bid provided by Mr. Huo Mingwei, with a return pill. Mr. Huo Mingwei can come on stage and introduce your bid." Huang Jiajia looked at Huo Mingwei's position with a smile.
Huo Mingwei had come back a long time ago. He had only gone to the bathroom for a short time. He couldn't be absent at such an important moment.
Huo Mingwei walked onto the stage, shook hands with Ma Yuan first, and then introduced: "I took out this elixir tonight because everyone present is not a person with little information. We all have the background of the Huo family. I understand. First of all, let me introduce that Huhuan Dan is a therapeutic elixir. It has a very good effect on trauma, and it also has a certain effect on repairing body organs. For monks, it is a life-saving elixir and is the best medicine in battle. A must-have. Moreover, the Huanhuan Dan provided by our Huo Family is our own collection and can be circulated in the market legally, so you don’t have to worry."
A man in his sixties in the audience asked: "Can it cure diseases? For example, vegetative state or something like that."
Everyone looked at this man, and everyone recognized him. This man was also a relatively well-known wealthy businessman in Nanhai City. He had a son who was in a vegetative state due to a car accident a few years ago and was lying in the hospital unable to wake up.
Huo Mingwei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, Huihuan Dan cannot treat mental illness. It is not a cure-all medicine. It is mainly effective for external injuries and internal injuries caused by blows. At the same time, It is also very helpful for strengthening the body, but it has no effect on viral diseases and mental illnesses.”
The man's hopeful face instantly became depressed and he stopped asking questions.
No one asked any more questions. Ma Yuan thanked Huo Mingwei for a few words, and then he stepped down and returned to his original position.
"A Huanhuan Dan, the starting price is 15 million yuan, and each bid will increase by 500,000 yuan by default. The bidding begins."
