Facing Henry's gaze, Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "What are you looking at me for? Xiaotian is my disciple, maybe he thinks this thing is cheap?"
"The bottom auction price of ten million US dollars is still cheap?"
"Is this man crazy? Why is Mr. Li going crazy with him?"
Ye Tian's words caused a stir in the venue. It was just a small jade bottle. Even if it contained some miraculous elixir, it wouldn't be worth 10 million US dollars. But listening to Ye Tian's words, it seemed that this thing was sold cheaply.
Generally speaking, except for Tang Wenyuan and Li Chaoren who knew the inside story, even the other old people shook their heads.
"Mr. Henry, $50 million, I'm not joking at all. If you don't believe it, I can issue a check for $50 million on the spot!"
At this time, Zhou Xiaotian also spoke. Just as Ye Tian said, he really felt that this thing was sold cheaply, because this pill was what Ye Tian wanted from him.
You must know that Zhou Xiaotian has not yet entered Xiantian. Whether it is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spirit gathering array or the elixirs refined by the Gou Xin family, they are of great benefit to his cultivation. Selling one does not mean that he himself will
Take one less pill?
"No... no need, since you can confirm your quotation, that's enough!"
Henry knew Ye Tian's net worth, and Zhou Xiaotian's behavior must have been under his instruction. Naturally, he did not dare to question it anymore, and immediately said: "This gentleman quoted $50 million, is there any other gentleman or lady who will continue to increase the price?
"
When Henry thought about it, 50 million U.S. dollars was a ridiculous price, but he didn't expect that just as he finished speaking, Li Chaoren's voice rang out again, "I will donate 300 million U.S. dollars, all of which will be donated to the people affected by this disaster.
I hope this money will be put into practice!”
"Three...three hundred million?"
"God, did I hear that right? These are U.S. dollars!"
"What happened? Why did it suddenly increase from 50 million to 300 million?"
After Li Chaoren's words came out, there was silence in the hall for a moment. Then, as if a heavy bomb had been dropped, an uncontrollable wave of sound erupted, filled with exclamations, doubts and incredible gasps.
throughout the auction.
If someone like Wen Luanxiong had shouted out a price of 300 million U.S. dollars, perhaps everyone wouldn't be so surprised, because he is known for his generosity, but Li Chaoren is different. He is simply synonymous with thrift and diligence.
Except for commercial activities, there are rarely such big moves.
"Three...three hundred million U.S. dollars? Mr. Li, are you asking for 300 million U.S. dollars?"
Henry looked at Li Chaoren in disbelief. If he hadn't heard this sentence from the other person's mouth with his own ears, he wouldn't have been able to believe that the rough-made bottle in front of him and the contents inside were actually worth 300 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to
It’s more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars!
"That's right, it's three hundred million U.S. dollars." Li Chaoren smiled, looked at tonight's host, and said, "Sir He, you won't refuse to accept this amount because it's too big, right?"
Henry on the stage was not qualified to talk directly to Li Chaoren, and Li Chaoren didn't want people to pay too much attention to the money and the jade bottle placed on the auction table, so he changed the topic and brought up today's auction.
purpose.
Listening to Li Chaoren's words, everyone in the venue really had the illusion that Li Chaoren offered this price just for disaster relief charity. Except for a few people, most people's attention was attracted by Li Chaoren.
If so, transfer it.
"How could that be possible? Li Sheng is such a generous person. He never lags behind in every charity auction. He can only admire him!" Sir He was also puzzled about the intentions of his old friend. He knew that Li Chaoren had always been
I like to donate money in real ways, and I rarely donate such a huge amount of money on such occasions.
"Sir He is so grateful. Mr. Ye can bear the pain and take out this object. How can Mr. Li be stingy with some money?"
Li Chaoren gave Ye Tian a compliment without leaving any trace, and at the same time expressed his sincerity. In fact, just when Ye Tian said the base price was 10 million US dollars, he knew that he would not be able to go smoothly this time without bleeding heavily.
Got this elixir.
"If you do good deeds, you will naturally be blessed by gods and Buddhas. Li Sheng is accumulating good deeds."
Ye Tian laughed when he heard the words. With his age and identity, it would have been a bit overestimating his ability to interrupt at this time. However, after Ye Tian said these words, everyone felt that it was natural, as if Ye Tian should be with him.
Li Chaoren has ordinary friendships with his peers.
Li Chaoren's guess was correct. The reason why Ye Tian unruly called out a base price of 10 million US dollars, and then asked Zhou Xiaotian to increase the price, was to set a threshold, so that if the news spread out, there would be another
Someone comes to make their own decisions.
And Li Chaoren was really on the road, and he directly raised the price to 300 million, which made Ye Tian very satisfied, and he almost even thought of buying one, getting one free.
You must know that this charity auction that you participated in will definitely spread to the ears of the big guys in the capital. In this way, as the saying goes, rare things are more valuable, and this price can clearly show that there are not many pills left on hand.
Okay, 300 million U.S. dollars a piece. Just what I gave away is worth billions of U.S. dollars. This favor is big enough.
"Henry, are you looking at the scenery from up there? Why don't you continue the auction?"
After chatting casually with Li Chaoren, Ye Tian looked at the auction table. For some reason, he liked teasing this deceitful auctioneer, but in this case, the more deceitful Henry is, the better.
It can raise more funds for disaster-stricken areas in the mainland.
"Ah? That's what Mr. Ye said."
Henry has not recovered from the shock of 300 million US dollars. The highest single auction record he has hosted in the past was only more than 300 million US dollars, which also included several Van Gogh paintings and many European precious paintings.
of artwork.
But the auction amount that has been transacted today has exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars, which is extremely rare in the history of international auctions. Henry never expected that a charity auction with the participation of a few people would actually create the most successful auctioneer in his auction career.
The highest transaction record in the market.
"Three hundred million U.S. dollars. Mr. Li bids 300 million U.S. dollars. I would like to ask the gentlemen and ladies present if there are any other bids?"
This time Henry was not busy preparing to hit the gavel, but looked at Ye Tian. He found somewhat sadly that at the auction where Ye Tian existed, his intelligence and adaptability were almost zero, and the scene was always different.
It is natural to be influenced by the other person.
Looking at Henry, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head. Nothing is too much, and three hundred million US dollars is still a huge fortune even for the super rich people in this hall. I am afraid that apart from Li Chaoren, only Tang Wenyuan and Sir Zheng
There are only a few people who can come up with it, but Sir He as the master may not have such a net worth.
"Three hundred million US dollars once, and three hundred million US dollars the second time. Congratulations to Mr. Li, you have obtained this lot provided by Mr. Ye Tian!"
After asking twice and getting no answer, Henry finally put down the auction hammer. However, after shouting out the largest amount of a single transaction in his career, Henry did not feel any excitement in his heart, but felt a little ashamed. After all, this auction,
It's not leading according to his wishes at all.
"It's almost done, let's go!"
Seeing Li Chaoren signing a check and putting it into the charity box, Ye Tian stood up. He believed that after the news of this incident tonight, Maitang will definitely become the focus of discussion among Hong Kong people, at least among the upper class of Hong Kong society.
No one will look down on Mayitang anymore.
"Mr. Ye, I'll go with you."
After getting the jade bottle, Li Chaoren walked to Ye Tian and spent 300 million US dollars. He must know how to take the elixir in the jade bottle, right? If the medicine fails due to the wrong way of taking it,
Li Chaoren was too late to regret it.
"Okay, I just wanted to talk more with Mr. Li." Ye Tian nodded, but when he walked to the corner where Zhuang Rui was, Ye Tian stopped and said, "Mr. Zhuang, do you have time to talk tomorrow?"
"
Although this person's superpowers have nothing to do with divination, Ye Tian still wants to know more about superpowers because he will go to Europe in a few days to attend the so-called superpower exchange conference.
"Mr. Ye, I am leaving Hong Kong tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't have time this time..."
Zhuang Rui shook his head. Although he was also very curious about Ye Tian, Zhuang Rui had always been very taboo about his own abilities, and he did not even tell his closest mother.
Zhuang Rui had a feeling that if he continued to date the other person, the secret in his heart would definitely not be kept, because the depth in the eyes of this young man, who was about the same age as himself, seemed to be able to see through his own heart.
"Okay then, let's meet again some other time!"
Ye Tianneng could tell that Zhuang Rui did not want to have a close relationship with him, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuang will make great achievements in the future, but he must also beware of villains."
There are nearly 10 billion people on this earth. Although the probability of having superpowers is very low, there are definitely many. Since the other party does not want to associate with him, Ye Tian did not force it. He smiled and came to Sir He and said: "
Mr. He, I have something else to do today, so I’ll take my leave now.”
"Thank you Mr. Ye for making such a great contribution to charity. I will visit you to say thank you tomorrow!"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Sir He stood up quickly. He did not expect that a charity auction he held on the spur of the moment would actually raise so much money. Only Ye Tian and Li Chaoren raised it.
It amounted to more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which has far exceeded the previous record for charity fundraising in Hong Kong.
"You're welcome, Sir He!" Ye Tian said hello with a smile, nodded to Tang Wenyuan and Cen Jinglan in the middle of the hall, and walked out of the auction hall side by side with Li Chaoren.
