Li Zhaoji is over 80 years old and has a pretty tough body. Ishu. He walked to the front of the case and said a few ordinary opening remarks. Then he took a look at the names of the guests who participated in the charity auction. It was considered a thank you, but he mentioned it.
Everyone with the name seemed honored, and stood up one by one, nodded to the people in the field.
Li Zhaoji spoke Cantonese. Although his speaking speed was very slow, he only learned a few words of ordinary Cantonese. He obviously had insufficient vocabulary. He listened with his ears for a long time, but still couldn't understand a single sentence. It was all up to Yuxing to help her translate.
, otherwise she wouldn't know when she should applaud and agree with her.
Fortunately, Hong Kong people are pragmatic. After Li Zhaoji briefly spoke for a few minutes, he announced that the charity auction officially began.
Although it was only a friendship auction, it was also very formal, and the chief auctioneers from many calendar auctions in Tsim Dong were invited.
After the auctioneer came on stage, he and the female emcee introduced the auction situation to the person sitting in the venue. It was obvious that the auction will be held by the two of them.
"The first auction of items begins. This item was provided by Mr. Li Zhaoji. It was a pocket watch used by Mr. Li's father at that time. The watch was produced in 1932 and is the third generation of Longines.
The most important thing is that this pocket watch embodies Mr. Li’s condolences for his father, and the memorial significance is even greater than the pocket watch itself…”
The auctioneer used Hong Kong Mandarin, which made Qiaoling feel relieved. If she still listened to Cantonese, it would be better to communicate in English. Although Hong Kong Mandarin is still different from standard Mandarin, eight percent
She can understand the content above fifteenth. Yuxing can ignore the rich people around her, but she cannot ignore it. Always whispering to Yuxing can easily make people disgusted.
"Okay, the auction will start now, according to Mr. Li's wishes. All the items tonight will be priced at 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. Please increase the price actively and do your best to charity!"
After the auctioneer finished speaking these, the bidding did not start immediately. The female emcee said the Mandarin just now in Cantonese. It is undeniable that some of the older generation of rich people have not even reached the level of high school, but
This does not prevent them from making a fortune with a unique perspective and solid and hardworking style and striving to create their own world. However, Hong Kong Island has returned to the embrace of the motherland for many years, and this friendship and charity auction is also well-known, so Li Zhaoji gave the instructor to
The auctioneer sets the main tone in Mandarin, and combined with the female emcee's translation, it's all available.
After the female emcee finished explaining, the auctioneer announced loudly: "The auction begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bald old man in the front row said aloud: "Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars, buy this pocket watch from Lao Li's family..."
The auctioneer quickly got into the role and whispered: "Okay, VIP No. 9 has bid 50,000 yuan, is there anyone else who bid?"
The items in this kind of charity auction are generally not expensive. In contrast, there are fewer fakes, and the rich people value not items, but while doing their part in charity,
To establish their own good reputation in the upper class, it is very cost-effective to buy a good reputation for only a few hundred thousand or millions of dollars.
Yu Xing's idea is different from them. No one knows whether there is a thing called Yinde, and he doesn't care, but he is still happy to help those poor people within his ability. The premise is that he can use the lot. Instead of just making an old toothbrush, he would have to ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is not necessary and not cost-effective. Although hundreds of thousands of dollars have been charitable, the charity has been blocked by the toothbrush. If you donate money and donate yourself, it would be inappropriate!
Take this first item for example. Yuxing and his wife can't wear Patek Philippes around them, so how can they use this pocket watch? So Yuxing rejected the first time he saw the item. Now someone is now By calling for high prices to make a name for himself, Yuxing was even more lazy to fight with the other party. The focus of his visit to this auction was to do charity, not to compete with others for wealth.
"I'll pay 100,000..." At this time, another lady in the front row shouted.
If you want to say 50,000, Yuxing may still call a bid, but the price reaches 100,000, and he will not even have a bid. It doesn't matter if you ask him to donate money directly, the key is that you don't need to get it back. It’s a bit annoying that things can’t be thrown away on the spot.
"The VIP No. 11 has bid 100,000 yuan, and there are still price increases. Please note that this is not a pocket watch, but a charity..." The inciting words popped out of the auctioneer from time to time, "You know, you are If you give more love here, maybe there will be an extra child who is out of school to sit in the classroom to attend classes!”
It is worthy of being the leader of many auctioneers. The price of 100,000 yuan is actually a bit inflated, but after he incited a few words, the atmosphere on the scene immediately became lively. Some people even shouted a high price of 200,000 yuan, and even coincidentally Ling also solicited opinions and said, "Husband, should we spend more money and take a photo of this watch?"
"Which watch do you like?" Yu Xingqi said.
"No, I just want to donate more money!" After knowing that Yuxing has a net worth of over 100 million yuan, Qiaoling's careful calculations are not as heavy as before.
Just as the two of them were talking, the price had risen to 330,000 yuan, and the scene became cold. The price actually exceeded the value of the pocket watch itself, and the rich men became more rational. Charity was charity, and they were unwilling to make any more updates. Buy an old watch at a high price that is not needed at all. Fortunately, the item Li Zhaoji took out has achieved the goal of throwing bricks and attracting jade, and has made a good start.
"Thirty-three thousand..." The auctioneer on the stage deliberately delayed this.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Qiaoling's eyes. Yu Xing saw through her thoughts and indulged in: "Wife, if you want to shout, just shout it! I'll pay the bill!"
After receiving Yu Xing's guarantee, Qiaoling took the license plate in his hand without hesitation, raised it and shouted: "350,000!"
"Okay, VIP No. 31 has bid for 350,000 yuan, are there any bids?"
Obviously not, even the guy who gave 330,000 yuan before was relieved.
Soon, the auctioneer shouted: "...350,000 third time! The deal was completed!" Heavy knocked down the auction hammer, "Congratulations, this lady, you have given your love to the children in the mainland. , Please come on stage to collect the items you have photographed!"
This obviously means donating money on the spot. Qiaoling is not stunned, even Yuxing is a little stunned because he has a few bank cards on him, although the total amount of money in the card is hundreds of millions.
But he did not see the crashing machine when swiping the card.
However, Florin was prepared, so he took out the Standard Chartered Bank's check book and signed a cash check of 350,000 Hong Kong dollars, and tore it off and put it in Qiaoling: "Madam, use this
That's it."
Qiaoling said thank you and took the check to the stage. After the auctioneer checked her check, she signaled the female emcee to hand over the pocket watch to her.
After the handover, when Qiaoling stepped down, the auctioneer sang again: "Thank you for your kind donation, let's thank her together!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xing and Li Zhaoji took the lead in standing up and applauding, following the rich people.
As soon as he got up, the applause was thunderous.
Is it worth buying an old pocket watch worth 350,000 yuan? The rich people here know better than anyone else. The reason why they applauded was to praise Qiaoling's charitable love. After all, this beautiful girl is wearing a value on her hands.
Patek Philippe with over one million will definitely not use old pocket watches.
Of course, things in this world have two sides. The older generation thinks that Qiaoling is showing love, but most of the young people standing behind to watch the fun are disdainful.
"Damn, I'm obviously wearing Patek Philippe, and I have to spend more than 300,000 yuan to take a picture of a broken thing. Is this silly girl burned it with too much money?"
"Who said no! But she is quite pretty."
"You want to buy it? You can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a month!"
“…”
Even the VIP seat with the warmest applause was muttering: "What are you so arrogant? Don't you just buy an old pocket watch? I'm not interested!" Although there was a lot of applause around, others couldn't hear the muttering clearly.
But it was clear that Zhen Xian was the one who made the sound.
Yuxing didn't care about this girl. When Qiaoling returned to her position, the couple sat down and got together in love.
Soon, the second lot revealed its true face. It was a gem necklace in the late Qing Dynasty style, with jade and agate on it, which looked inconsistent, but just in terms of the value of its raw materials, it could also be worth some money.
Qiaoling's pocket watch was much better just now. After all, even if the watchmaking machinery in that era was so sophisticated, it would not be possible to maintain the pocket watch movement for seventy or eighty years without damage. As long as this gem necklace is properly preserved, it will be in any era.
It can be worth some money.
However, Yu Xing and his wife, who had just taken one item, did not plan to shoot the second one, so they didn't have much intention to bid in this round.
But their lack of mind does not mean that others have no mind. In a short while, the gem necklace climbed from the lowest price of one thousand to the high of 370,000 Hong Kong dollars. It has to be said that even the calmer people sometimes compare.
I'm so honest. When I heard the auctioneer quoted a price of 370,000, several wealthy people nearby glanced at Qiaoling intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to see if she still called for the price. Qiaoling, this girl, is also a little weak.
Although she didn't shout for a price, she stretched her neck and looked forward to it. She was looking forward to someone calling a price that was much higher, so she didn't have to bother.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xing thought Qiaoling had taken a fancy to the gem necklace again, so she used exploration techniques to see how good the necklace is and whether it is worth it or not.
In Yu Xing's mind, if this necklace has 0.1 value, it will never be a loss if you take a photo within tens of millions. Who knows that if you don't see it, you're shocked to see it. One of the gem necklaces looks very similar to agate.
The value detected by the stone is actually... (To be continued.
