The reception time is from 8 to 9 o'clock, and the charity auction officially starts at 9:15.
During this period, celebrities from all over the world gathered in small groups and chatted about topics from all over the world. However, it must be mentioned that even if this group of people chatted, their profound meaning was far more profound than ordinary people pretending to be sophisticated.
This heritage and connotation cannot be imitated.
Just like the definition of travel by celebrities with leisure and money will never be the same as that of the ordinary middle class. The middle class travels to take a break from the busy work, hoping to escape from the overwhelming work, relax their nerves, and go on a journey. It is a short recharge, but the celebrities in the upper class are different. They go to Le Touquet to play golf; they go diving in Malaysia; they go to Japan to soak in the best hot springs; they go to the Spanish Canary Islands to swim, and even spend several months staying in Europe. , according to the route of the great British travelers of the eighteenth century, they did this not to gain knowledge or to have a moment of leisure from work, but purely to vent their excess energy.
The starting point, the perspective of thinking, the understanding of time and the point of view on things are completely different from each other. How can we chat together and barely squeeze into the upper class?
Han Xiaoyi is not a girl who pretends to be cool and noble. She treats all the celebrities who greet her very kindly and calmly, even though she doesn’t recognize most of the celebrities who come, and she can’t even call them by their names, and she doesn’t remember whether they have met them before. However, during the more than half an hour of drinking and drinking, the girl still chatted and laughed with the group of people generously and decently, without making the other party feel left out or looked down upon at all.
Let me ask you, how many beautiful girls can chat with complete strangers and still keep smiling?
There are also a few pretty girls from good families who can chat with countless strangers and still maintain enough patience.
Han Xiaoyi resisted,
Although Lin Ze, who was holding her arm, could notice that the girl's cheeks were slightly stiff due to her reserved smile, she still maintained a sweet smile.
Girl, is this the life you accept without complaint? Will you really like it and be happy?
At a quarter past nine, the auction finally started.
When the celebrities were looking for their seats to prepare for the next auction, Han Xiaoyi also put down the glass of red wine, put her pink tongue on her cheek, and muttered: "I'm exhausted."
"I just calculated it for you." Lin Ze drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp and said with a bitter smile, "You have had brief conversations with forty-eight celebrities in total for half an hour."
"After the auction, if anyone wants to challenge my patience, I will kick him in the balls." Han Xiaoyi said resentfully,
"Where's the woman?" Lin Ze teased,
"Crush your tits to burst." Han Xiaoyi said domineeringly,
",."
For such a large-scale charity auction, the seating arrangements are also very particular. For example, would it be possible for the daughters of super wealthy families like Han Xiaoyi and Chen Xueqin to sit at the back?
It's definitely impossible,
Their seats are not only near the front, but also have an excellent view. Among the hundreds of celebrities, they are considered to be one of the top seats.
Lin Ze, surrounded by the eldest lady of the Han family, also sat in a position with a great view and was almost surrounded by celebrities from all walks of life.
After sitting down, Han Xiaoyi finally got a moment to rest, but the auction venue in front started the first round of auctions after the host's five minutes of nonsense.
I don’t know if the organizer has figured out that all the celebrities here are financial backers, or if they want to create an auction atmosphere. The first auction item is a precious blue and white jar unearthed from the Tang Dynasty. The starting price is one million, and the price increases by ten yuan each time. Ten thousand,
When the first auction item was delivered to the auction table, the wealthy young ladies in the audience who were still relatively immature in the city were ready to make a move.
"One million and one hundred thousand."
A young girl wearing a pure white dress was the first to hold up the sign.
Judging from this girl's appearance, words and deeds, I'm afraid she really wants to win this blue and white jar.
"One million and two hundred thousand." Another young girl followed and raised the sign.
As soon as she raised the sign, the first girl who called out the price glanced at the girl competing with her somewhat unhappily, and then gritted her teeth and said: "One million and two hundred thousand."
"One million and three hundred thousand."
"One million and four hundred thousand."
",."
After several battles, the blue and white jar was finally sold at a price of two million by the girl who first raised the bid. However, the expression on her face was no longer as peaceful as before, but she glanced at it with a little resentment. Looking at the girl who was bidding against her, the other girl who missed out on the blue and white jar did not show any disappointment at all. She was probably not interested in the blue and white jar at all. She was raising the price just to make things difficult for the one who was very interested. girl,
"A pair of enemies." Lin Ze cursed incessantly.
The bidding for the first auction item showed a bit of gunpowder, and the subsequent auction items quickly made the rich and young rich and young people who could not see eye to eye with each other, or secretly have a rivalry.
After some open and covert fighting, several more auction items were taken over by rich young ladies from wealthy families, and the smell of gunpowder became increasingly intense. Although the rich young ladies in the audience were still polite and courteous on the surface, they were already gearing up in their hearts. ,
"The next auction is a century-old sea willow cigarette holder, made of the most precious blood willow. According to expert appraisal, there are less than a hundred of this sea willow cigarette holder in the world. It can be regarded as a rare cigarette holder. If you are interested, You can look through the information you have, the starting price is two million, the increase is two hundred thousand, start bidding now."
"Three million."
Chen Xueqin, the second young lady of the Chen family who had not participated since the opening, suddenly raised her sign and shouted out the price of three million, which shocked many rich and young people.
What shocked these rich and young people was definitely not the price. In fact, three million may take a lifetime for ordinary people to earn, but for these rich and young people who are qualified to sit here, three million is just a lifetime. The price of a sports car is not cheap, but it is not too expensive to afford.
What shocked them was, not long after the auction started, how could the second young lady of the Chen family become unable to sit still so quickly?
According to the rules of previous years, shouldn't the early auctions be the battlefield for second-rate rich and young people like them? Once you, the top daughter, come on stage, who will compete with you?
Sure enough, with Chen Xueqin's move, many wealthy young ladies who were busy sharpening their knives and had a habit of smoking immediately became honest.
Even if they can afford a higher price, they still have to look at who is holding the sign. The second young lady of the Chen family, the top daughter who just had a fight with the eldest lady of the Han family and has been holding back her anger, who dares to ask for trouble? ,
After Chen Xueqin raised her sign with a nonchalant expression, she saw that no one was arguing with her, and her mood that had been depressed for several days finally improved.
"Three million for the first time." The auction host hit the hammer for the first time, glanced at the rich and young people present, and without any hesitation, he immediately hit the hammer a second time, "Three million for the second time. "
Being an auction host is definitely not as easy as imagined. Not only must you grasp the situation accurately, but you must also grasp the overall situation and create a bidding atmosphere.
For example, if there is a stalemate between two powerful bidders for a certain item, the auction host needs to rely on his solid skills to stimulate the two bidders to increase the transaction price. Generally speaking, a good bidder will The host can influence the emotions of the bidders to a certain extent.
To be able to host such a large-scale auction party, this host is naturally very capable, but at this moment, he has no desire to inflame the atmosphere at the scene. Gein, the person bidding is Chen Xueqin, a time-honored brand in Yanjing. The second young lady of the wealthy Chen family,
How many of these people here have the strength to compete with her?
Even among the powerful ones, who would be willing to fight her to the death?
So the host prepared the hammer for the third time very quickly,
"Three million and two hundred thousand."
Just when the auction host was about to hit the hammer for the third time, a crisp voice suddenly sounded from the crowd,
The host looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the placard holder was the eldest lady of the Han family. He smiled and said, "Miss Han's bid is 3.2 million, which is higher than Miss Han."
"Four million."
Before the host finished speaking, Chen Xueqin raised her placard again. This time she raised her placard more quickly and her tone became slightly colder.
"Four million and two hundred thousand." Han Xiaoyi always had a sweet smile on her face and held up the sign lightly,
"Wow,."
There was a slight commotion at the auction site, and the rich and young ladies could see that the two enemies were fighting again. In other words, the two top ladies in Yanjing who were heard last time were making a fuss in the study club. The contradiction is not a rumor, it is absolutely true.
Thinking of this, the wealthy young ladies present folded their arms and watched the auction as if they were onlookers.
I don’t have the ability to fight with these two top ladies, but I still have the confidence to watch the show.
"Five million." Chen Xueqin's tone has become unkind, and her knife-like eyes are gouging out Han Xiaoyi who is not far from her from time to time.
Han Xiaoyi paused, her movement of raising the sign was a little slow, and she suddenly turned her head and asked, "Lin Ze, do you want this century-old cigarette holder?"
",."
Brother Xiao Lin really wanted to cover his face and rush out.
Miss you sister,
I want your sister,
Do you know that you and Chen Xueqin are fighting to the death, but my brother, Xiao Lin, is very worried, for fear that your conflict will escalate again?
Okay, it’s just a fight, but now you come over and ask me, isn’t this pushing me into a pit of fire? Do you think I am an employer like you? I, Brother Xiao Lin, can’t help you in any way, except for occasionally scolding you for being flat-chested. I am doing my best to protect you. As for doing this to me?
Lin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth and wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but looking at the girl's attentive eyes, he said with cold sweat on his palms: "Can I stay silent?"
"No." Han Xiaoyi shook her head,
"But I don't have the habit of using a cigarette holder when smoking," Brother Xiao Lin said aggrievedly,
"You can get used to spitting and spitting, let alone just a cigarette holder." Han Xiaoyi said,
"I,."
"Ten million." Han Xiaoyi suddenly sat up straight and raised the sign decisively,
