"One hundred thousand dollars, No. 14. Mr. No. 14 quoted one hundred thousand dollars, and now the price has exceeded one hundred thousand. So, does anyone want to continue to quote one hundred five thousand?"
In less than 90 seconds, "Bat Boy" Myles Scott's jersey has already exceeded the threshold of 100,000 US dollars. Not only did it easily set the highest price in the game, but it also made The auction has entered a new phase, which is undoubtedly an exciting turn.
The bidding speed on the site finally slowed down. After entering the 100,000 US dollars, the number of competitive bidders on the site was significantly reduced. Despite this, Stephanie's inquiry was quickly answered by a businessman in a suit and tie. The man held up his No. 33 sign and confirmed the offer of one hundred and five thousand dollars.
It can be clearly noticed that the sight of the scene is beginning to heat up. Logan, Aldon and others all looked at each other, some of them couldn't believe their ears——
They are all still in the rookie contract period, and only Aldon is a first-round pick, which also means that their contract salary levels are not high, one hundred and five thousand US dollars, which is already very scary. Logan wanted to participate in the auction just now, hoping to express his support through his own strength, but in the blink of an eye, the bidding number was far beyond imagination. This was not a price that his salary level could afford, and he immediately The flags and drums ceased, and he honestly began to watch.
"One hundred and ten thousand, Ms. No. 56." A guest who had never held up a sign before also held up a sign, showing her strong strength without revealing anything.
Lu Ke didn't hesitate and directly raised the sign, and then he could hear Stephanie calling, "One hundred and fifteen thousand, Mr. No. 14." Then, Stephanie looked around the whole place and raised her voice. He asked, "Is there any more 120,000 yuan? Is anyone still willing to call for 120,000 yuan?"
After a slight pause, someone still raised the sign, "Twenty thousand! Mr. No. 33!" Stephanie's voice obviously began to speed up the rhythm.
But Lu Ke didn't leave any gaps at all, and directly raised the sign, "Twenty-five thousand." The decisive way showed his determination to bid.
There was some silence again. For a set of "Halloween costumes", such a price is really outrageous. Even with the bonus of Christmas miracles, even with the embellishment of the "Bat Boy" story, this is still beyond imagination - —They don’t even know what to do after the auction is successful?
Is it just to take pictures and show them on the photo wall? Or start a collection exhibition and have everyone come and see one outfit? Or are you waiting for room for appreciation in the future? This is obviously very, very difficult, because the greatest significance of this costume is timeliness, not collection.
As they looked at each other, everyone's expressions became playful, and some even began to think of the meeting between Indra Luy and Lu Ke. The profound meaning between the interlaced eyes became more and more worth savoring, and then, many All eyes were focused on Lu Ke.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. This time it lasted quite a long time. Stephanie cast her gaze towards No. 33 and No. 56, watching them, expecting them to continue to follow, but both of them lacked some determination and waited. It took a while before there was a change, "One hundred and thirty thousand, Mr. No. 33!"
No. 33 finally raised the sign again and kept up with the rhythm; but how could his speed keep up with Lu Ke, who was known as the "Master Tactics"?
"One hundred and forty thousand." Lu Ke didn't wait for Stephanie to ask, and directly raised the price by ten thousand dollars. He raised the price twice in a row without hesitation, showing his unshakable determination, which made everyone at the scene His eyes became more and more intense, and such an offer far exceeded his expectations.
Stephanie's eyes still fell on No. 33, "The current price has reached 140,000, how about it, is there another 145,000? Is anyone willing to continue to quote 145,000? I finally Ask once, if not, then I will end the call at 140,000."
Stephanie's scorching eyes looked at the whole audience, confident and calm, constantly creating faint sparks, just like the devil was tempting/tempting, and then someone on the scene followed Stephanie's rhythm - this is the case for auctions, I got a little hot-headed, then lost my mind, and impulsively raised the sign. After I reacted, I realized what price I had quoted, but it was too late to regret it.
"One hundred and forty-five thousand, Mr. No. 33!" Stephanie's voice also obviously rose slightly, and her emotions were a little excited.
Lu Ke was unmoved at all. He didn't even look back and directly raised his sign, "One hundred and sixty thousand." Without hesitation, he raised the offer to US$15,000 again. His strong and domineering response did not leave much room for competition. It was really shocking, and then you could clearly hear a low voice at the scene, including surprise, surprise, and astonishment. All kinds of emotions were stirring in the conference room.
A total of 160,000! It has doubled from the previous highest price! This also caused subtle changes in the meaning of the entire charity auction.
As one of the leading organizers, Jiang Youning could clearly notice that many eyes around him were paying attention:
Charity auction is a very special social occasion. In addition to contributing to charity, it is also one of the important places to build reputation:
This is true for organizers, for guests, and for donors.
For organizers, the number of guests they can invite, the auction items they can collect, the amount of funds they can raise, etc. are all reflections of the entire social status. The simplest and most intuitive example is that some organizers can Leonardo DiCaprio is invited, but some organizers can only invite 18th-tier Internet celebrities. Some organizers can raise tens of millions of dollars, while some organizers can only raise Tens of thousands of dollars.
That's the difference.
The same goes for guests and donors.
A certain guest was generous and showed great support for charity, such as big guys like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs; and a certain donor's auction items could be robbed. , and finally auctioned off a very high price, contributing to charity in his own way, so that the aura of fame can create actual value.
These are all differences.
Therefore, every charity auction has its own specialties, from the guest lineup to the auction items to the transaction price, how to arrange it and what effect it can achieve. Everything is an invisible war. Don’t underestimate it. organizers of charity events.
Of course, some people are bound to say that this is just a "show", just a superficial effort to build one's good reputation. But this is the case in real life, everything is a "transaction". At least these people are willing to support charity for the sake of their own reputation and promote charity through their own reputation, then this is a good thing.
That's it now.
Lu Ke showed his courage and strength, easily doubling the auction's highest price. As one of the organizers, Jiang Youning naturally attracted much attention, and those eyes were meaningful: the son is building momentum for his mother. , and at the same time supporting charity, Lu Ke is indeed smart.
Bathed in the eyes of envy and admiration, Jiang Youning was a little uncomfortable and a little unaccustomed to it, but the problem was that she didn't know why Lu Ke did this at all. Lu Ke had never mentioned this matter at all before; Jiang Youning also believed that Lu Ke must have his own reasons.
Lu Ke knew that his actions might cause some misunderstandings, but he still did not waver.
Lu Ke got inspiration from Miles Scott, and he sincerely hoped that Miles' courage could be passed on step by step. For this "Batboy suit", Lu Ke already had An idea to make that "charitable miracle" help as many children as possible.
Therefore, Lu Ke raised the sign without hesitation and showed his determination decisively. As for those misunderstandings, they will be resolved after the entire activity is carried out, and the truth will naturally surface; and those "stubborn misunderstandings" that ignore the truth and distort Lu Ke's charitable intentions are not what Lu Ke needs to consider - -As a public figure, it is impossible for him to make everyone like him, nor to explain every misunderstanding. The pure will become clear themselves, and the dirty will become dirty. It is that simple, as long as he has a clear conscience.
When Lu Ke reported the price of 160,000, there was a slight commotion at the scene, and then you could see Mr. No. 33 shaking his head at Stephanie, indicating that he would no longer participate in the bidding—— This has far exceeded expectations, and he doesn't want to continue to compete in a hot-headed manner. What's more, this is a charity auction, and the most important thing is charity, not victory or defeat. He chose to give up.
Stephanie didn't mind, and repeated her auction process with a smile. After asking the audience for their opinions three times in a row, she began to make the final call, "One hundred sixty thousand! One hundred sixty thousand! Deal! Mr. No. 14 paid sixteen The number of 10,000 won this Batboy suit donated by Miles Scott, congratulations!"
At this time, Lu Ke showed a smile and nodded to the applauding guests. Then he turned around and saw guest No. 33 smiling at him, as if to say: It was a friendly victory just now. , there was some regret on his expression but he still accepted the final result calmly.
Lu Ke chuckled and nodded to the other party.
In this way, Lu Ke took off the title of "Biao King" and purchased Miles' "Bat Boy Suit" for US$160,000, igniting the auction frenzy!
Logan excitedly slapped Lu Ke on the shoulder, "Man! Man! Are you crazy? Man!" Even Marcus, Aldon and others were excited.
