Chapter 95 Auction(1/2)
Xiaoye curled his lips and sneered: "Miss Wu Di, do you think this is making a movie? I'm just an ordinary person, how could Manager Wu take over the role with me?"
Naturally, he doesn't want to tell his secret.
Without waiting for Wu Di to say anything, he said quickly: "You should be careful about that guy Wu Yong, he is trying to figure you out."
Wu Di sneered: "He? He has no hope."
Xiaoye's heart moved, does she have any strong backing?
Wu Di looked at him and said sternly: "You'd better calm down and hope not to cause any trouble."
Xiaoye smiled and said indifferently: "Don't worry. At least I don't want to provoke Wu Yong now."
Hum, if he really wanted to take advantage of Wu Yong, he would have succeeded long ago in his car.
Of course, we can't talk to Wu Di about this matter.
The two of them stopped talking and danced to the music. Wu Di's dancing skills were very skillful. Compared with her, he was not on the same level at all. But Xiaoye's mind was not on dancing.
He was thinking in his mind, when Wu Yong gave the badge to Wu Di, how would he think of a way to get Wu Di to accept it? Or, after Wu Di accepted it, how would he get the badge?
And the three hundred thousand in my arms.
He planned to give it to Wu Di as money to buy the badge.
He doesn't like owing favors to others, especially women.
In fact, he could understand Wu Di's kindness. He was originally very willing to accept those kind reminders.
But the question is, after he learned that Wu Yong was the deputy manager of Heaven and Earth, would it be possible for him not to attack that guy?
The answer is obviously: no! Maybe it’s just a matter of time.
Xiaoye was a little distracted and glanced around. Suddenly, he seemed to see a figure flashing past somewhere on the left.
His heart skipped a beat! In surprise, he accidentally took a step slower and stepped on Wu Di's instep. Wu Di frowned, with some pain between his brows. Only then did he come to his senses and quickly pulled her aside.
, smiled bitterly: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Wu Di sighed: "Are you a poor dancer or are you distracted?"
Xiaoye smiled: "A little bit of both."
Then he let go of Wu Di and walked back slowly. Wu Di followed him and suddenly whispered: "Be careful with Wu Yong, this person is very difficult to mess with. You'd better not provoke him."
He nodded again.
Isn't it difficult to mess with? He just killed that guy with a knife.
When I walked back to my seat, the music suddenly stopped. Then the president of the charity organization walked to the center, took the microphone and loudly announced that the auction will begin in ten minutes!
Xiaoye, however, kept searching around, hoping to find the figure he saw just now.
Impossible, right? That person shouldn't appear here... Could it be that I saw it wrong?
Before the auction started, Wu Yong returned to his seat.
All proceeds from this charity auction will be donated to this charity organization. Xiaoye is not very familiar with these charities, and they seem to be dedicated to helping patients with a certain type of special disease.
After the auction started, a table was quickly pushed onto the stage.
There were three people presiding over the auction, and the one in the middle was a senior auctioneer specially invited from a certain auction house. He was a thin man who spoke with a slight northeastern accent, but his voice was very loud.
What's interesting is that the other two hosts are both from the entertainment industry. One of them is a host of "Happy Camp", and the other one is actually the female host who works in the toilet!
That beauty without panties!
Xiaoye sighed, thank God, she was wearing a long skirt today. Because she was standing on such a high platform, if the skirt was a little shorter, it would be a lot of fun!
Today's auction items are of all kinds, including all kinds of jewelry, top-notch brand-name clothing, top-notch cars, and some antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and curios.
What is particularly pointed out is that all these things were donated by some wealthy people.
The first auction item is a Tang Dynasty Yue kiln secret color glaze bowl, with a reserve price of 500,000.
Interestingly, this lot was finally sold for 1.5 million, and the successful bidder was a middle-aged man sitting at a table in the first row.
After Wu Di's introduction, Xiaoye found out that this was a wealthy businessman from the north, and interestingly, this glazed bowl was actually donated by him.
And he spent another 1.5 million to buy back the glazed bowl!
In fact, it is equivalent to donating 1.5 million through the auction.
To be honest, Xiaoye really couldn't figure it out. This kind of behavior by rich people was really weird. Since it was a donation, it would be better to donate 1.5 million directly.
The game is so complicated, why go in such a big circle?
But seeing the proud expression on that guy's face amidst the admiration of everyone, Xiaoye understood a lot in an instant.
In fact, for these rich people, this charity auction is just a game. While showing off their wealth, they can throw some money out and gain a good reputation.
For example, this gentleman spent money to buy back his donated items, and others praised him for his generosity, boldness, etc.
Is he really generous?
When it comes to real thoughts, the idea of being in the limelight probably accounts for the majority, right?
This is not because Xiaoye is judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.
Normally, he believes that rich people who can earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year just throw away millions to be "generous".
In comparison, who can only earn a few thousand yuan a year but is willing to spend a hundred yuan a month to do good deeds? Which one is truly generous?
Comparing it, the truth is actually very clear.
An ordinary person may only be able to donate a few hundred yuan, but his total money may only be a few thousand yuan.
As for a rich man, he may be able to donate several million at a time, but for him, the money is less than one thousandth.
Who is more “generous”??
Xiaoye suddenly felt a little bored.
Today's so-called charity party has become a bit ridiculous in Xiaoye's heart!
It's just a bunch of rich people who throw a party to show off and throw some money through their fingers to gain a reputation for being charitable.
They drink the most expensive wine, drive the most expensive cars, and wear the most expensive clothes.
This is actually just a farce.
To put it bluntly, if you look at the accounts of these wealthy people, their usual tax evasion figures are probably much higher than these "generous" donations!!
Xiaoye was a little distracted, and then the second auction item, a calligraphy and painting from the Song Dynasty, was taken away. He didn't even look at the price carefully.
Lot No. 3 is the diamond hairpin that Wu Di is interested in.
This is a hairpin issued by a famous European designer and has a base price of 200,000.
When the lot was brought up, Xiaoye noticed that Wu Di's expression perked up, his eyes showed a bit of excitement, and there was a faint look of desire.
The host casually said something to stir up the atmosphere, and the auctioneer in the middle started bidding.
Obviously, this diamond hairpin was favored by some ladies who were present. As soon as the bidding started, the price quickly rose to 300,000.
Xiaoye saw Wu Di hesitate for a moment, as if he was considering when to bid.
At this moment, a voice said steadily: "One million."
The speaker was Wu Yong. He leaned on his chair, holding a wine glass in his hand, and smiled. His voice was not loud, but in this quiet environment, most people in the banquet hall heard it.
The auctioneer on the stage was stunned for a moment, but he was a professional after all and calmed down immediately. The two hosts started to make a fuss and exclaimed repeatedly.
Wu Yong always had a calm smile on his face. After his bid, no one could compete with him anymore.
In fact, it is not that Wu Yong is the richest person here.
The reason is actually very simple: although this card is very precious, according to calculations, its real value is only about 400,000.
Even if it is auctioned and can fetch 500,000 yuan, it has basically no potential.
Now that these rich people know the true value of things, naturally no one will be willing to spend one million to buy something worth only four hundred thousand.
The second reason is: today is a charity auction after all, and no one is too angry. They are just trying to show their support for the auction, and there is no need to fight to the death.
Many wealthy people who were originally interested in this card issue stopped competing with him when they saw Wu Yong's bid. Some of them knew Wu Yong.
And some people, even if they don’t know Wu Yong, would have guessed that he was bidding for beauties when they saw the two stunning beauties sitting next to him. In this kind of situation, why bother to disgrace beauties?
