Chapter 24 The Unstoppable Chip
Inside the Haiya Hotel Auction.
Li Jinxiu stood on the stage with a smile, and waited for the applause that lasted for dozens of seconds before continuing to speak:
"I announce that today's charity auction has officially begun. The first item is a Qing Dynasty Huanghuali Dragon Pattern Top Box Cabinet donated by the President of Wu Zhongwei of Zhonghao Group, with a base price of 5 million."
"I'll pay seven million!"
"Nine million!"
"Ten million!"
“…!”
As the auction began, bidding shouts began to spread in the hall.
After Li Jinxiu just symbolically reported the first item, she sat in the position prepared by the staff for her. All the auction matters were taken over by a team of professional auctioneers.
After about half an hour of competition, all twelve auction items have been sold, and the funds raised have reached an astonishing 150 million.
"Everyone, the last auction item we are going to auction next is a rare treasure donated by Mrs. Li Jinxiu. It is produced in the West Sea. It is rumored that it can make people immortal - the Tears of the Dragon King!"
As the host spoke, Li Jinxiu also stood up calmly, walked to the front of the covered box, and gently lifted the red silk on it.
As soon as this object came out, the audience was in an uproar.
In the glass cover in the center of the stage, a white and moist jade card that looked like a playing card was crystal clear and was filled with a soft luster.
"I announce that the Dragon King Tears have officially started shooting, with a starting price of 10 million yuan!"
"Five million!"
"Twenty million!"
“…”
For a moment, the bidding sound seemed to overturn the roof, and the famous ladies and ladies spent a lot of money like flowing water.
In a blink of an eye, the bidding for the Dragon King Tears quickly approached the 100 million yuan mark, but the powerful people present seemed to have no intention of stopping.
"I'll pay 95 million!"
In the stands, a bloated woman raised a sign to make a quote.
"I'll pay 180 million!"
In the front seat in the venue, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a big back and gold-rimmed glasses seemed tired of this slow bidding method and increased the price by 85 million in one breath.
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.
How could such a wealthy and powerful move not be surprising if you spend nearly 200 million yuan just to buy a jade tablet?
After the man with glasses issued a sky-high price to shock the audience, he stood up from his seat with a smile, nodded slightly to Li Jinxiu on the stage, then turned around and looked at the guests in the venue:
"Everyone, I, Liu Mingyu, have been in business for several years and have always been under the care of Mrs. Li. Now my wife is righteous and helping Yunzhou charity. I will repay you with my kindness. Of course, I should give you all the help. So I would like to give Liu a face and give this honor to me so that I can also imitate Mrs. Li and contribute some meager strength to the charity in Yunzhou. Thank you very much."
Liu Mingyu clasped his fists and looked around with a smile. Although he said passionately, the show-off in his eyes was about to come out. After all, his offer at this moment had completely hit the top, and it was impossible for other competitors to appear. Therefore, Liu Mingyu's behavior was not only showing off his financial resources, but also flattering Li Jinxiu.
The auctioneer on the stage waited for Liu Mingyu to finish his words and took over the conversation:
"Dear guests, Mr. Liu Mingyu of the Ming Group has now called the auction gold to 180 million! Is anyone bidding?"
The audience was silent. Although there were many powerful people who came today, Liu Mingyu had publicly stated that he was cursing Li Jinxiu, so naturally no one would make enemies with him because of this kind of thing.
"One hundred and eighty million, the first time!"
"One hundred and eighty million, the second time!"
As the auctioneer spoke, he had already picked up the auction hammer in his hand. Everyone present held their breath and waited for the moment when the final sentence was finalized.
"One hundred and eighty million, the third time!"
As the auctioneer spoke, the wooden hammer had slowly fallen.
"Let's wait!"
At the same time, a cold female voice appeared from the entrance of the venue.
"brush!"
Hearing this sound, everyone in the venue turned around collectively and turned their eyes to the direction of the sound coming out.
"Tread!"
Under the attention of the audience, Wen Keren, who had spoken out of the auctioneer, walked out of the darkness calmly and stood under the light. Her beautiful face instantly attracted the greedy eyes of many rich people.
"Miss, do you want to increase the price?"
After seeing Wen Keren's beautiful face and his body unconsciously exuded a temperament that was so irresistible that she was a lady from a powerful family, she asked politely, saying that those who do their jobs are used to pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and today it is an auction banquet held by Li Jinxiu, so he can't afford to offend any of the guests in it.
Wen Keren continued to take steps until he was less than ten meters away from the stage, and then stopped and turned his attention to Li Jinxiu:
"Yes, I just want to participate in the auction!"
"This girl looks very jealous. How dare you ask which lady you are from?"
Li Jinxiu looked at Wen Keren and saw that she was beautiful and thought she was also a donor from a family. She immediately asked with a smile.
After all, the more people participate in the auction, the more she can show her noble identity.
Li Jinxiu on the stage was full of thoughts, but Liu Mingyu off the stage looked confused. He offered a high price today, originally to please Li Jinxiu's favor. At this time, seeing Wen Keren want to steal his limelight, he was naturally displeased:
"Didn't you hear the auctioneer have already been calling for the price three times just now? Why are you still making trouble here!"
Wen Keren looked at Liu Mingyu with cold eyes:
"According to the auction rules, as long as there is no hammer, I will naturally be eligible to bid!"
"You have a trump card!"
Seeing that Wen Keren dared to argue with him, Liu Mingyu said furiously:
"Even if the auctioneer has not yet dropped the hammer, the people who came to participate in the auction today have paid the auction deposit in advance. You are a person who came to the scene halfway and don't even have the qualifications to shout. Do you understand?"
After speaking, Liu Mingyu turned around and looked at the auctioneer:
"What are you doing when you stand there? Drop the hammer immediately!"
"Mrs. Li, look at this..."
The auctioneer saw that he could spend nearly 200 million yuan to buy a jade token and a person who dared to come out halfway through the road to intercept the lord. He found that he could not afford to offend anyone, so he had to look at Li Jinxiu as if he wanted help.
"It's okay, just let her participate in the auction. We held this auction today to raise charity funds. Since this little girl is kind, how can we refuse?"
Li Jinxiu was naturally happy to see someone having a dispute over currying herself. In this way, she would show her status as a noble person and raise more funds. Moreover, there were hundreds of eyes staring at her in the venue, and she had to maintain a good image. Moreover, once this kind of thing was spread, her reputation would be widely spread.
"This lady, Mrs. Li has agreed to your participation in the auction. Before you, Mr. Liu Mingyu had already offered a price of 180 million yuan. Please give me a quote below!"
After the auctioneer said something, the audience's eyes instantly gathered on Wen Keren, and at the same time, they were also guessing in their hearts who was this sudden appearance, who could actually confront the wealthy Liu Mingyu.
"Since Mrs. Li has spoken, I will play with you!"
Seeing that Li Jinxiu agreed to Enbo to participate in the auction, Liu Mingyu looked at Wen Keren with a arrogant look:
"I don't have anything else, it's just that I have a lot of money. Today I want to see how you snatched things from me!"
"I'm afraid you can't accept the price I gave, and you don't dare to accept it."
Wen Keren glanced at Liu Mingyu disdainfully, then turned his eyes to the stage and spoke loudly:
Chapter completed!
