The boss Li Zhaoji took out a cigar from the cherry wood cigar box and cut off the smoke with the cigar. Then he picked up the long match for lighting the cigar and lit the cigar.
Seeing that Li Zhaoji was still in the mood to smoke a cigar at this time, the strong-tempered Guo Desheng couldn't help but said: "Do we want to bid? One hundred thousand yuan, not much!"
"Not much? That's for people like you and me!" Feng Jingqi, the third child, said, "Now the average salary in Hong Kong is only 500, and 100,000 is enough for many people to earn a living for a lifetime!"
"Shi Zhijian's trick is so good!" Li Zhaoji exhaled smoke and said, "He is using the emperor to control the princes, but he is using the ghost to control the rich! Let the rich spend money to buy dinner, sharp!"
"How do you know it's Shi Zhijian's fault?" Guo Desheng said, "It could also be that the American is crazy about money!"
"You still don't understand?" Li Zhaoji glared at him, "It was Shi Zhijian's plan from the very beginning when he invited Ghost Rockefeller over!"
Guo Desheng remained silent. He knew that in terms of strategy, he was not as good as Li Zhaoji, and in terms of forbearance, he was not as good as Feng Jingqi. The only thing he was good at was doing what he said! Action!
"This is an opportunity, we can give it a try!" Li Zhaoji concluded. "As the second brother said, one hundred thousand yuan is not much anyway!"
"Then we have to bid?" Guo Desheng was overjoyed.
"Um!"
"Then how much do we pay?"
"The low price is 100,000 yuan, and the minimum increase price is 10,000 yuan. Let's go for 500,000 yuan!" Li Zhaoji gave the psychological price. In his opinion, there should not be many people in Hong Kong interested in bidding for this new gadget. He could simply double it five times and win for sure.

…
"This is simply unreasonable! Shi Zhijian is crazy about money! He gave Rockefeller such an idea!"
In the villa where Li Xuexuan lived, Li Jiacheng shook the newspaper in his hand and said angrily.
Li Xuexuan was sitting on the chair, opposite to him were Gearhart, the head of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and Deng Bingrong, the chairman of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce.
Li Xuexuan heard that Shi Zhijian had smashed the head of Deng Bingrong's henchman, so he knew it was a good opportunity and took the opportunity to recruit him.
"Yeah, a meal with a Yankee would cost 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Only a fool would do it!" Deng Bingrong said, biting his cigarette holder and crossing his legs.
"It makes sense! Although I have invited Mr. Rockefeller to speak at our Hong Kong Stock Exchange, this time he did go a bit too far!" Ghost Hart said.
Li Xuexuan waved and asked Wen Zedun to arrange a few cups of tea and said to everyone: "Everyone calm down, this is Biluochun, drink tea first!"
After that, he added: "Before, we didn't understand what Shi Zhijian was doing. He protected the American Rockefeller so well. Now the fox's tail is exposed and he even auctioned off the opportunity to have dinner with Rockefeller. It's really shameless!"
"It's more than shameless! It's simply despicable!" Li Jiacheng roared, "In short, I will not participate in the auction! What about you?"
Li Jiacheng looked at Hart, Deng Bingrong and others.
Hart spread his hands: "Neither can I! I'm not a fool!"
Deng Bingrong sneered: "Yes! Only a fool would pay so much for a meal!"
Li Jiacheng looked at Li Xuexuan again: "Miss Li, what about you?"
Li Xuexuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her red lips were so moist that Li Jiacheng couldn't help but swallow, and the words "so moist and so warm" popped into his head.
Li Jiacheng hurriedly shook his head, discarded those bad thoughts and looked at Li Xuexuan with burning eyes.
Li Xuexuan raised her head and said: "Me? Of course not! Now that I know it was arranged by Shi Zhijian, how could I be fooled by him?!"
"That's great!" Li Jiacheng vowed, "As long as we all boycott this vile act of auctioning dinners, we will slap that Shi Zhijian in the face! Let's see how long he will be proud of?! Hmph!"
After Li Jiacheng said these cruel words, he sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and stood up and said: "By the way, I also want to call on other big guys to collectively boycott him! We can't stay here anymore!"
Li Xuexuan and others did not expect that Li Jiacheng would work so hard. It seemed that Shi Zhijian had cheated him very much, and he hated Shi Zhijian deeply.
"Then thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work! There's strength in numbers! Since we want to resist," Li Jiacheng was like a passionate young man during the Anti-Japanese War, patting his chest with righteousness.
Not to mention Li Xuexuan, even Ghost Guy Hart and Deng Bingrong were almost moved by Li Jiacheng.
"Then be careful. If anything happens, we will discuss it in detail!"
"Okay! Farewell!" Li Jiacheng clasped his fists at everyone, "Once a strong man has gone, he will never come back!" He turned and left.
…
The next day.
As the end of the year approaches, no one expected that such new things would happen in Hong Kong.
The auction dinner has become something that almost everyone in Hong Kong is talking about.
No matter in the streets or alleys, or in companies and shops, everyone is talking about this matter.
Even those who set up roadside stalls selling sesame seeds and sugar-roasted chestnuts know that there is a new thing in Hong Kong. You have to bid and pay for a meal together, and the base price is still 100,000!
What is one hundred thousand?
Nowadays, the average monthly salary of Hong Kong citizens is RMB 500. It would take fifteen or sixteen years to earn a full RMB 100,000 without eating or drinking!
As a result, the whole of Hong Kong went crazy.
Common people don't understand the lives of these rich people.
But for those rich and famous, they feel that this is an opportunity!
What’s one hundred thousand?
It’s drizzle for them!
If you can capture the opportunity to have dinner with Rockefeller, it will definitely be of great help to increase your reputation!
Just do it!
So those wealthy people who like to speculate took action, and the dinner bidding gradually became more intense!
For those Hong Kong media, this is a rare front-page headline! An unprecedented breaking news!
Whether it is Hong Kong's English-language "The Tiger", "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily", or the veteran "Sing Tao Daily", they all took action to follow up on this matter!
Countless media reporters were ambushing outside the Kowloon Peninsula Hotel, wanting to interview Rockefeller and learn about the latest progress of the bidding.
TVB, a Hong Kong television station that was just established two years ago, directly dispatched a live broadcast team to wait around the hotel to conduct on-site interviews. The interviewees included hotel cleaners, newcomers passing by, guests staying at the hotel, etc.
Not to be outdone, Li's voice, which was competing with TVB, also sent out an interview team, setting up long guns and short cannons and firing wildly at the Kowloon Peninsula Hotel.
For a time, there were frequent media wars, and the onlookers were crazy about eating melons!
…
As "caretakers" arranged by Shi Zhijian, Li Fuzhao, Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao never expected that this whimsical "dinner auction" would suddenly become so intense.
Judging from this scenario, even if they don't do childcare, they will become crazy after the auction starts.
Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao were speechless. They felt a little sorry for their good brother Su Diwen. The bidding price set for him was too low, and 310,000 yuan was kicked out every minute!
The situation is just as the two young men guessed. Judging from the bidding price announced by Rockefeller's female secretary, Miss Catherine, it has soared to 800,000!
Eight hundred thousand a meal,
It’s simply outrageous!
Seeing such a price, many tycoons have given up. It's not that they can't afford the money, but they think it's not worth it.
We are all smart people. We have already set the psychological price of a meal. We will not invest again after the price is broken, so as not to be laughed at as a fool.
As time goes by, the last ten minutes.
The answer is about to be revealed!
…
Ding Yongqiang and Ren Darong were waiting outside the presidential suite in boredom.
Although Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi was very angry at Rockefeller's rejection of him, he still had to ensure good security. If something happened to the famous American tycoon in Hong Kong, he, the Governor of Hong Kong, would not look good on his face.
This made Ding Yongqiang and Ren Darong miserable. The sun and moon had been waiting for Rockefeller for the past two days, but they couldn't be seen by him. It was very uncomfortable to be sneaky.
"Yawn! I'm so sleepy. Is there any smoke?" Ding Yongqiang leaned against the wall, yawned and said to Ren Darong.
Ren Darong took out a cigarette from his arms and pinched it. There was no cigarette left, only an empty box.
Ding Yongqiang sniffed and smiled bitterly: "Pu, my mother, when will these days end?" After saying this, his stomach began to growl again.
Ren Darong teased him and said: "I am a lazy person who poops a lot. Brother Qiang, you are a detective and you are hungry! You are always cooing, it makes no sense!"
Ding Yongqiang patted his belly and said, "There is no way! In the past, my family was poor and there was always enough to eat. This guy has become naughty. Now he can't stand the slightest grievance and starts to cry out at the slightest discomfort!"
After a pause, he clicked his mouth again and said: "Wow, I miss the dog meat hotpot in Kowloon Walled City so much! Oh, and there's also the fish-from-the-sea hotpot invented by A Jian! It tastes great! It doesn't work anymore. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get, and I can't even drool.
It’s all leaked out!”
Ren Darong thought Ding Yongqiang was joking at first, but when he saw Ding Yongqiang taking out his handkerchief and wiping his saliva vigorously, he couldn't help being surprised: "No way? I'm really drooling! So much?"
Ding Yongqiang wiped his saliva hard and said, "I can't stand it anymore! I'm going to get some food. What do you want, I'll bring it over for you? Wontons? Egg tarts? Or Gui Lao's ham sandwich?"
Just as Ren Darong was about to speak, he saw a hotel delivery boy not far away wearing a vest and bow tie, pushing a dining cart towards them.
"Excuse me, who is Mr. Ding Yongqiang?"
"I am!"
"This is the dinner that Miss Catherine ordered for you personally. Please enjoy it slowly!" The delivery boy smiled and elegantly opened the fresh-keeping cover of the dining car with one hand behind his back and the other hand, revealing the exquisite steaks, turkeys, and salads.
La, desserts, etc. appear in front of you.
When Ding Yongqiang heard that it was Catherine who sent it, he was extremely happy. Seeing that it was such a precious steak, he felt even more excited and grateful.
Ren Darong: "Wow, this is comparable to a French dinner! Even red wine is provided!" Then he looked at Ding Yongqiang with envy, "Brother Qiang, you are so sharp! Is Miss Catherine interested in you? Send so many delicious food
Come here, I’m afraid I’ll starve you!”
As soon as Ding Yongqiang heard this, he tugged at the sharp-cornered collar of his collar, raised his face and pointed his nostrils to the sky: "Hey, what you said is wrong! I don't like ghost girls! Besides, I don't like it at all.
She eats Western food! Look, she has sent so many steaks, turkeys, and other silly things, so insincere!"
"Yes! Yes! She is not sincere enough! These are not the dishes you like, Brother Qiang. I will help you eliminate them first! No need to thank me, you should be your partner!" Ren Darong said and gobbled up the steak and turkey.
stand up.
Ding Yongqiang was anxious, "I only said it wasn't to my taste, I didn't say I wouldn't eat it! Don't be so cruel, leave some for me!"
Ding Yongqiang also started to move.
The delivery boy next to him was so surprised when he saw the two of them devouring their food that they almost popped out of their eyes. Those who knew they were two plainclothes policemen, but those who didn't know thought they were Filipino refugees.
Just as Ding Yongqiang was holding the whole turkey and opening his mouth, wondering whether to eat from the head or the butt, not far away, the door of the presidential suite opened, and Rockefeller's female secretary Catherine walked out.
As soon as Ding Yongqiang saw Catherine, he hurriedly stuffed the turkey he was holding into Ren Darong, then wiped his greasy hands casually on his clothes, smoothed his hair back with his hands, and then supported his left arm on the wall, his body
He leaned forward, put his right hand in his pocket, crossed his legs, and assumed the most classic quail posture of the movie star Reacher, and looked at the approaching Catherine with affectionate eyes.
Ren Darong held the turkey and took a bite of the chicken butt. He looked at Ding Yongqiang with a greasy mouth and said, "You don't have to be so handsome, do you? If you don't want to eat it, I will eat it all!"
Ding Yongqiang glanced at him and said in a gentle tone: "Eat it all for you! Also, you look too ugly when eating!"
Ren Darong rolled his eyes.
"Hi! Catherine!" When Catherine came over, Ding Yongqiang took the initiative to wave to her and say hello.
Catherine just smiled at him and passed him by.
"Huh?" Ding Yongqiang was stunned. He thought that Catherine came out to express condolences to him, but unexpectedly she only took one look and left.
Ren Darong bit the butt of the chicken: "Is there anything wrong? Are you broken in love?"
Ding Yongqiang glared at him: "Shut up!"
Ren Darong continued to chew the chicken butt.
Ding Yongqiang turned around and said to Catherine who was walking over: "Thank you, thank you for ordering for me!"
Catherine looked back and smiled slightly.
Ding Yongqiang's whole heart was almost melted by this smile. At this moment, he felt like he was embracing the sun, it was so warm and cozy!
Catherine ignored the affectionate Ding Yongqiang behind her and walked straight out of the hotel. Media reporters outside immediately rushed over.
Catherine smiled in front of the media and announced: "Hello, friends from the media! Now, on behalf of Mr. Rockefeller, I would like to announce the results of this dinner auction——"
"Wow, the results are out!"
Everyone was staring intently at Catherine, and even the passers-by were stimulated by the atmosphere and couldn't help but come over to join in the fun.
"As a result, the final bid was as high as one million!"
"Wow, one million! Which Hong Kong tycoon can win?"
Everyone at the scene became nervous and looked at Catherine intently.
Catherine was in a good mood and said: "This winner is - Mr. Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Industries!"
With a bang, the scene exploded!
"How is that possible?" Those who knew some of the inside story couldn't help but asked in shock.
Everyone knows that Boss Li Jiacheng is the hero who opposes this bidding activity the most and takes the lead in boycotting it!
