"The third item is a maple leaf bookmark carefully made by Miss Rollier. The raw materials are selected for Ontario, Canada. This set was carefully prepared after two weeks. The starting price is 100 US dollars, and each increase must not be less than 100 US dollars..."

The auctioneer standing on the auction table almost enthusiastically introduced the lot and bidding rules. His seriousness surprised Fu Zhengyi, but as long as he thought about the sanitary napkins and tampons facing women's supplies every day, the inexplicable sense of humor made it difficult for him to look directly at it.

two hundred……

three hundred……

Four hundred...

Six hundred...

The twelve maple leaf bookmarks were quickly raised to a price of 900 US dollars, which made Fu Zhengyi ask in a low voice. "David, is Miss Roryl, the creator of these maple leaf bookmarks very famous?"

"Miss Roryl? Ha! She is Ms. Temore's little granddaughter, and this year she should be seven...oh, she is eight years old. The maple leaf bookmark she made is the most popular at the Beach Club auction this year..."

Seeing David laughing when he explained, he raised his head and looked at the maple leaf bookmark placed in the glass box carefully, Fu Zhengyi couldn't help but become more confused. "Eight years old? I don't think the maple leaf bookmark he made has any artistic value, it looks very ordinary..."

After raising his hand and quoting a price of 2,000 US dollars, David then turned his face and whispered. "Isn't it worthy of encouragement and reward for a child willing to sacrifice his time and energy to prepare charitable donations?"

After saying oh, Fu Zhengyi suddenly realized that no wonder the first two small toys made of iron can be auctioned for $500. It is obviously the property provider for children in the family of the Beach Club members. So no one cares about the value of the property itself. The high price is just to encourage these children.

Fu Zhengyi, who completely understood the reason for this auction, thought this method was very good.

Children from wealthy families need to sacrifice time to play for honor and encouragement from an early age, but the charitable donations obtained by their efforts will make them have the right ideas and establish the correct view of money since childhood.

Seeing that Fu Zhengyi seemed to have understood the theme of the auction, David then said softly. "There is a saying in Britain that it can create a millionaire overnight, but it takes three generations of efforts to cultivate a noble. So don't think that Western aristocratic education is boring and ridiculous. Children receive elite education since childhood. After they grow up, they will eventually understand right and wrong and understand the truth than ordinary families who grow up..."

"I was surprised by the auction today. In my impression, the children of the rich should have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy the best of everything. Therefore, they have been trained to be arrogant and domineering since childhood!"

After being interested by Fu Zhengyi's answer, David thought about it before saying, "Fu, although the media reports are filled with negative news about the children of wealthy people, overall, the probability of descendants of wealthy people becoming successful is higher, because these children stand higher, see farther and know more than children from ordinary families.

Of course, it is not without stubbornness, but because the attention it attracts is much greater than that of children from ordinary families, there are indeed some problems due to environmental factors, and the media will even look at them with tinted glasses, which will cause some misunderstandings in social opinion..."

David, who was talking freely, opened a window for Fu Zhengyi.

A fan made him understand the attitude of American wealthy people towards their children's education, and learned that although they were spending time and living a luxurious and luxurious life on weekdays, they had the difference in their children's education and the way they taught their children's education.

Finally, the set of maple leaf bookmarks made by the eight-year-old "Miss Roryl" was sold by David for a high price of 4,000 US dollars. After applauding, the auctioneer came over with an exquisite glass box containing the maple leaf bookmarks and handed it to him with his own hands.

The children's things were replaced by 4,000 US dollars donated to African hunger victims. Fu Zhengyi, who applauded David, felt that this method was very good and worth learning and promoting.

When the seventh lot is released, the Beach Club's "summer shoot" will be the real beginning.

This is a Picasso sketch.

The members of the Beach Club have increased their interests, and they know Picasso's reputation but are not sure about the price of his sketches. It is very strange that Fu Zhengyi found that the starting price is only 500 US dollars, so he asked David why.

"Fu, Picasso's mid- and late works are valuable. His works total more than 30,000, and the number of sketches is as high as nearly 8,000. Therefore, ordinary sketches are not valuable. Unless someone can collect Picasso's sketches, they can quickly appreciate!"

Fu Zhengyi nodded and said, "Scarcity is precious, this is the reason, right?"

"Yes, because this auction is to donate all the income to the victims, there will be no particularly precious artwork, but each one should be genuine and the property provider will bear the responsibility, so you don't need to be stingy with bidding because you don't understand the artwork. It's better to buy one and put it in the office..."

Since the other party said that, Fu Zhengyi began to bid and finally took down the Picasso sketch for 5,000 US dollars.

The auctioneer turned his attention to David as soon as he bid. Seeing him nodded, he accepted Fu Zhengyi's offer and regarded him as a member who could participate in the auction.

During the subsequent auction, Fu Zhengyi listened carefully to David's introduction of these items. Although he was a little confused, he still gained a little bit.

"Don't think that art collection is just a hobby. It is also a reasonable and legal investment with extremely high returns. Take Picasso's "The Boy with a Pipe" as an example. When it was auctioned by the Allies in 1949, it was only 10,000 US dollars, and it was finally sold at a price of 28,000 US dollars. If this painting entered the auction market today, its starting price would definitely exceed 20 million US dollars. Although inflation over the years will offset part of the appreciation, investment alone is definitely no less than the income that can be obtained by investing this money in the capital market..."

"Gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times should mean that. I will ask you more advice in the future, and I hope you won't find it troublesome!"

David was very happy that Fu Zhengyi's very modest remarks, and immediately invited him to go to his house to appreciate his entire collection later.

Fu Zhengyi, who agreed, turned his attention back to the auction.

The nesting dolls from the Tsar period, small objects from the French Revolution, and Indian handmade utensils. The overall atmosphere of the auction is quite harmonious, and there will be laughter echoes.

After taking a selfie of Picasso's sketch, Fu Zhengyi did not see the lot he liked again, but when the auctioneer opened a two-foot square box and exposed the lot inside, he stood up!

A strange look at Fu Zhengyi, the auctioneer said, "This collection comes from the East, is made of copper, it is said to be from the Summer Palace. It only came from Europe to the United States decades ago. The owner took it out in the hope of obtaining more donations so that he can raise more funds for the victims, so its starting price is 10,000 US dollars..."

Facing the bronze ware that was black all over the body but with a "sheep" look on the auction table, Fu Zhengyi felt that his nervous heart seemed to be about to jump into his throat. His hands were clenched into fists unconsciously, staring at the lot, hoping that he could take it into his pocket now!

Twelve thousand...

Ten thousand sixteen thousand...

Twenty thousand...

Seeing that the auction had begun, Fu Zhengyi, who was standing up, had his eyes straight and his hands tightened, and he seemed very excited. David, who was a little strange, wanted to let him sit down, but he didn't pull it, which just made him wake up. So David asked, "What's wrong?"

Turning around, seeing that there were not many members of the Beach Club participating in the auction, Fu Zhengyi then took off his sweat and sat down. He heard the last offer of 30,000, so he immediately raised his hand and said, "Fifty thousand!"

The price was increased by 20,000 yuan at once, which was the first time that appeared in today's auction. Therefore, many members who participated in the auction found it a little strange and bet on their eyes.

Realizing that he had become the focus of attention, Fu Zhengyi approached David and asked, "Can't you raise the price at once?"

"Because it was your first time participating and you suddenly increased your offer significantly, it will naturally arouse the interest of some people..."

Since he did not violate the auction rules, Fu Zhengyi relaxed and looked at the bronze ware placed on the auction table, but his heart felt like he was in a state of trouble.

Fu Zhengyi's offer made the atmosphere in the venue a little strange. Seeing that no one continued to bid, the auctioneer prepared to swing the hammer.

"Wait a minute!"

As the sound of the sound of the drink stopped, the sound of rapid footsteps came from behind the venue. A young man in a floral shirt rushed to the auction table and said anxiously to the auctioneer. "I'm sorry! I want to check this bronze ware!"

Through the auction stand, the auctioneer poked out most of his body and lowered his voice and felt a little annoyed. "Sol! You know this is not in line with the rules! Every item in the auction at the Beach Club is guaranteed by its provider. You are questioning unreasonably!"

"Don't do this, I know it's not very consistent with the rules, but if this bronze ware is genuine, Mr. Pinault will pay all related fees for it..."
Chapter completed!
