When it comes to Wang Langsha, everyone in the entertainment industry knows it. First of all, she is the vice chairman of Tahoe Sky, the entertainment company with the highest market value in the Chinese entertainment industry, and is also one of the major shareholders of Tahoe Sky.
In addition, Wang Langsha founded the nationally popular fashion magazine "Langsha". She also has an influence that cannot be underestimated in the fashion circle. It is for this reason that among the guests attending the charity dinner tonight, there are
There are quite a few famous models.
Wang Langsha walked onto the stage, took the microphone from the staff, and then gave a speech as the host of this charity dinner.
As for the content of the speech, it was nothing more than clichés such as thanking the guests. Of course, there were also some more positive content related to charity.
After Wang Langsha spoke, there was a warm round of applause.
"Oh, actually I still want to say a lot more, but Sister Langsha has already finished speaking. In this case, I won't talk nonsense."
Wei Hai returned to the center of the stage, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then announced loudly: "Next, tonight's charity auction will officially begin. I would like to invite the hostess to present the first item tonight."
After finishing speaking, a female etiquette wearing a traditional Chinese cheongsam walked onto the stage carrying a tray with a pair of running shoes placed in the tray.
"Okay, everyone has seen the first auction item tonight. I guess many people are wondering now why it is a pair of shoes. Now please look at the big screen..."
Along with Wei Hai's words, the big screen behind the stage lit up, showing the scene of the Olympic track and field competition. The competition event was the 110-meter hurdles. Chinese athlete Liu Daxiang took the lead, leaving a group of black people behind, and was the first to cross the finish line.
line, and then, he jumped up excitedly, looked up to the sky and roared in celebration.
This is a historic moment in the history of Chinese sports, and an exciting moment for countless Chinese people.
On the big screen, the picture was frozen, showing a close-up of Liu Daxiang's feet. To be precise, they should be the running shoes on his feet.
At this time, Wei Hai's voice sounded: "You must have guessed it. Yes, the first auction item tonight is the pair of boots our Olympic hero Liu Daxiang wore when he won the 11o meter hurdles championship.
, it has witnessed the glory of our Chinese track and field and the rise of our yellow race in sprint events! So, its commemorative value does not need me to elaborate."
"Well, its starting bid is one dollar. Of course, in fact, the starting bid for all the lots tonight is one dollar."
"Now, everyone can bid!"
Wei Hai announced loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately raised a sign under the stage: "One hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Half a million!!"
"..."
In less than a minute, the pair of running shoes donated by Liu Daxiang were priced at 500,000 yuan.
"Haha, it seems that everyone is still very interested in the boots of our Olympic heroes. Of course, I know this is actually everyone's love~!"
Wei Hai said with a smile, when someone started to increase the price again.
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
"One million!!"
"..."
After bidding several times, a male star directly raised the price to one million.
"Brother Liang, I bid one million, is there anyone who wants to increase the price??"
The male star's name is Wu Liang, he is considered a first-line actor, a very capable actor, and has won many Best Actor awards.
Maybe it was to give Wu Liang face, or maybe everyone thought that one million was already too high. After Wu Liang shouted out one million, the scene fell silent.
"No one has increased the price?"
Wei Hai asked again, but still no one answered.
"OK……"
"Once in a million!"
"Twice a million!"
"One million..."
Wei Hai held the auction mallet in his hand, raised his voice, and then glanced towards the audience.
“This is your last chance, no one will raise the price anymore~!”
At the critical moment, Wei Hai suddenly smiled.
Seeing this, everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
"Old Wei, give the hammer down quickly!!"
Wu Liang shouted. This kind of charity auction is of course not that serious. After all, all the funds raised are used for charity.
"Okay, one million, three times!!"
Wei Hai finally dropped the hammer, and then announced with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Liang, for buying the boots of our Olympic hero Liu Daxiang for one million!"
"We invite Daxiang and Brother Liang to come on stage~!"
According to past practice, in the presence of the item donor, the donated items are handed over to the buyer on the spot.
So, amidst a round of applause, Liu Daxiang and Wu Liang walked onto the stage one after another. Liu Daxiang signed his name on the pair of running shoes on the spot, and then handed them to Wu Liang for a group photo.
After the first lot was successfully sold, Wei Hai immediately began to introduce the second lot, which was a landscape painting called "Thousands of Miles of Mountains and Rivers". The donor was none other than Cao Zechu, who was sitting at the same table with Hu Shuo.
"This painting is the treasure of our President Cao. This time it is donated for auction, and it is painful to part with it. We all give Mr. Cao some applause."
As the president of Wenyu Group, Cao Zechu's status in the entertainment industry goes without saying. Therefore, when Wei Hai found the opportunity, he started to flatter him.
As expected, there was a round of applause, and Cao Zechu stood up and waved to everyone present.
"I just said that the starting price of all the auction items tonight is one yuan, so the painting of Master Jia donated by Mr. Cao is also one yuan. Next, everyone can bid!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Half a million!"
"Eight hundred thousand!!"
"..."
As soon as Wei Hai finished speaking, everyone began to bid enthusiastically. Firstly, the value of the painting itself was very high. Secondly, the celebrities at the scene also had their own little plans to take pictures of the paintings donated by Cao Zechu. Of course,
It's a way of showing favor and flattering.
Therefore, the competition for this painting is much more intense than Liu Daxiang's running shoes just now. After all, the latter is just a sports star and has little resources in the entertainment industry.
Soon, the price of the painting donated by Cao Zechu soared to 1.5 million.
Hu Shuo had no research on antique calligraphy and painting. Seeing people bidding so enthusiastically, he asked Yang Yunyan in a low voice: "Is this painting valuable? And Master Jia, how come I haven't heard of it."
"Master Jia is a painter from the late Qing Dynasty. He is somewhat famous, but the value of his paintings is only average."
Yang Yunyan said disapprovingly, Yang Wanli really liked antiques and so on, so Yang Yunyan also knew a little bit about it. In addition, for the children of wealthy families like them, learning some antique knowledge is also a compulsory course.
Because there are many people at their level who like antiques, and understanding some relevant knowledge is often helpful for business negotiations.
"Oh~!"
Hu Shuo nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
While the two were talking, the price of this painting had soared to 2.4 million.
"2.4 million once!"
"2.4 million twice!"
After the price was increased to 2.4 million, the scene became relatively quiet. In fact, the actual value of this painting was only about 1.5 million. Now the price is already a premium of almost 1 million, which shows that Cao Zechu still has a lot of face.
“Is there anyone else bidding??”
Wei Hai held the auction hammer in his hand and looked across the audience again.
"2.6 million!!"
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in Hu Shuo's ears. He followed the sound and found that the bidder turned out to be Lin Qianyu.
For a first-line star like Lin Qianyu, 2.6 million is still acceptable.
Lin Qianyu's intention of doing this was also very obvious. It was clearly to please Cao Zechu.
"Qianyu, the price is too high!"
Cao Zechu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"For charity~!"
Lin Qianyu smiled softly: "Didn't Sister Langsha just say that all the donations tonight will be used to buy school buses for children in impoverished mountainous areas, and I also want to do my part."
Lin Qianyu gave a reason that even Cao Zechu could not refute.
"Qianyu bids 2.6 million!"
“Is there anyone else bidding??”
Wei Hai continued to ask in high spirits.
However, no one responded at the scene. In fact, if Lin Qianyu hadn't increased the price, the deal would have been completed for 2.4 million yuan.
"260,000 times!"
"2.6 million twice!"
"2.6 million..."
Wei Hai repeated his old trick and prolonged his tone again. At the same time, his eyes swept over the scene, and then he dropped the hammer: "2.6 million three times!!"
"Congratulations to Qianyu for successfully taking a picture of the Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers donated by Mr. Cao!"
"Please take the stage to hand over the two of you~!"
Wei Hai walked to the front of the stage and smiled softly at Cao Zechu and Lin Qianyu who were sitting in the audience.
Since the two people were seated next to each other, they naturally walked onto the stage together, and Lin Qianyu naturally took Cao Zechu's arm...
"It seems that Luo Hua is deliberately ruthless~!"
Hu Shuo, who is also a man, could feel that Cao Zechu was actually not happy, but he didn't show it too much on his face.
"Lao Cao probably wouldn't marry a female celebrity."
Yang Yunyan responded softly.
"I think so."
Hu Shuo shrugged. Generally speaking, real wealthy families rarely marry a female star. Whether it is another time and space or here, there are many examples of a certain female star giving birth to a child to a rich man, but still unable to get into the family.
"But, wife, this old classmate of yours seems to care about you very much~!"
Hu Shuo added with a smile.
"What, are you jealous?"
Yang Yunyan looked at Hu Shuo with a smile. Of course she knew what Cao Zechu thought of her. Not only did he invite her to walk on the red carpet a few days ago, he also made excuses to date Yang Yunyan several times before that. However,
, Yang Yunyan refused because she was busy with work.
In fact, there are too many men like Cao Zechu around Yang Yunyan, because the entire wealthy circle knows that Yang Yunyan and her husband are not getting along. After all, Hu Shuo lost billions a few years ago and had an affair with Shangguan Yunzhu.
There was a lot of noise.
Therefore, those men who originally had thoughts about Yang Yunyan became interested.
However, Yang Yunyan was a person with a strong bottom line. Although his relationship with Hu Shuo was not good, their marriage was still in existence after all, so Yang Yunyan ignored those men.
In addition, another reason is that Yang Yunyan is really too busy. Yang Wanli has not been in good health in the past few years. Almost the entire Wanli Group is relying on Yang Yunyan alone. She wishes she could have the ability to clone herself. Where did it come from?
Time to think about those messy things!
On the stage, Cao Zechu and Lin Qianyu completed the handover, and then they returned to their seats together.
