Chapter 374, Auction A Date (1/4)(1/2)
Tao Zhiming didn't comment on the cheers from the other side. He just smiled and cut a slice of mooncakes, and then said, "When it comes to getting rich, the biggest ones are the big guys."
When the scene was like this, Li Jiacheng and others also came over with a smile and cut each other.
Then, around the stage next to the circular glass window of the revolving restaurant, so many people were shouted at to stand together and take a group photo together.
Needless to say, this will be news in tomorrow's newspapers.
And then, there was another so-called charity auction. With so many people gathered together, of course there should be some gestures and good deeds during the feast of wealth, so that ordinary people would not be so disgusted.
In this session, there are naturally songs and dramas.
It's called a charity auction, and the proceeds from the charity have their own uses. Some people who were prepared in advance took out some of their collections and auctioned them on the spot.
"...Everyone, everyone. It's so exciting!" The invited auction host saw the note just handed over and said excitedly, "Miss Guan Zhilin said that she doesn't have anything good that everyone likes, so...
Auctioning a dinner date. How much money can be raised if a beautiful woman has a date? Which man is willing to make this a beautiful date?"
Chen Yuqi was in a complicated mood. She looked at Guan Zhilin, who looked very dignified and smiling, and saw that she was looking this way. There was no change in her eyes, but her attention was obviously on Tao Zhiming.
Tao Zhiming also called him a good guy, which was quite creative.
She is indeed a woman who will be involved in golf scandals in the future. She not only interfered in Chen Yuqi's marriage, but now she is so bold in her position.
But Tao Zhiming just smiled and showed no interest at all.
Others knew in their hearts that Guan Zhilin was probably targeting this upstart tonight. Many people were happy to see the result, but did not bid.
The scene became awkward for a moment. Seeing the auction host continuing to instigate, Tao Zhiming remained unmoved, and Guan Zhilin's face became a little uneasy.
Could it be that he had misunderstood the special look he had given him before?
"Ten thousand." Zhao Yuanxi suddenly shouted. Chen Yuqi looked at him in astonishment, and then she saw him smiling at her and squeezing her hand.
Guan Zhilin's face became even more confused. How could she not know the relationship between Zhao Yuanxi and Chen Yuqi at this time? Could it be that Chen Yuqi had told him about her affairs, and that Tao Zhiming also knew about it?
But on this occasion, she could only force a smile and thank Zhao Yuanxi at the end.
Tao Zhiming also looked at Zhao Yuanxi in surprise. Did this guy want to vent his anger on Chen Yuqi's behalf? The problem is that things are over. After Chen Yuqi's experience, it can only be said that her original man was not a good thing.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and whispered: "When the time comes, you can go for me."
Tao Zhiming looked at him speechlessly. Did you use me as a weapon? Do you want a scumbag to treat her?
The kind of woman who doesn't let go of rabbits but doesn't let go of eagles, should I seduce her after eating too much?
But Zhao Yuanxi seemed to have full confidence in him, and smiled at Guan Zhilin, and then glanced at Tao Zhiming beside him.
Guan Zhilin became confused now, and then he couldn't help but guess, could it be that his boss couldn't save his face?
Isn't this trying to cover up the truth?
Tao Zhiming didn't care about the ambiguous looks from other people. Then he heard the auction host say: "The next lot is provided by Tao Sheng. This lot is very special. Let's take a look at it together first."
I saw Tian Jinbo walking over with a long and narrow box. After putting the box away, he opened the box and took out the contents.
Amid the discussion, the auction host said: "This is the model of the superyacht Bravopeah ordered by Tao Sheng! Of course, what Tao Sheng provided was not only this model, but also the right to use the superyacht for 24 hours after delivery!
With a length of more than 100 meters and a cost of 200 million yuan, it is the world's top yacht. It is the best choice whether it is used to entertain guests or hold parties. The starting price is 100,000 yuan!"
Li Jiacheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Tao, you are so original."
Tao Zhiming met his meaningful eyes and said happily: "I'm still young, and I haven't saved any good things. I can only overdraw my future."
Having said that, and it is a check that will be cashed in the future, but looking at the exquisitely made and very avant-garde model, and imagining what it would be like to have fun on this 100-meter giant ship, the most exciting ones are the rich second generation and
The next generation of rich people.
Especially the rich second generation, they don't dare to mess with Guan Zhilin's dinner date in front of their elders, but the one-day and one-night usage rights of this super yacht are of great use, and their elders may be able to use it.
Besides, it was obvious that this was something Tao Zhiming brought out to deepen the relationship. As the owner of the yacht, if he was invited, how could he not participate?
The banquet hall was filled with shouts of bidding, and the price soon reached 1 million.
This price is already very real. Nowadays, some people rent luxury yachts in Xiangdao, and it only costs less than one million for a week. Although this yacht is a top-class yacht, the price for one day is only one million, which is why they
Giving face to Tao Zhiming.
Of course, his current net worth and this big toy he brought out are worthy of this face.
"1.2 million. Don't steal it from me. I'll ask you to play together when the time comes!" Li Ju called out a price again, and then said to the other rich second generations with a smile.
"Uncle Li, take care of him! You don't want to be a prodigal!"
Li Jiacheng heard the commotion over there and said with a smile: "Anyway, there are still a few years left. Let him earn the money by himself. I won't give it to him."
"Can I get it? If not, it's still my 1.15 million." Mr. Guan, who was hugging Qiu Shuzhen's slim waist, said with a joking smile.
"Of course I can take it out! If not, I'll pick up the car first."
"That can't be calculated like that. Your car will have to be discounted..."
Amid the commotion, the "lot" provided by Tao Zhiming was finally sold for 1.3 million, and the buyer was still Li Ju.
And that model was temporarily in his hands.
There was a table over there, and they immediately gathered together to discuss each other.
"Is it also equipped with a private helicopter? Are there other small yachts on the boat? I miscalculated. I should increase the price."
"The design of this yacht is much more beautiful than the one at the dock! Tao Sheng, is it the new model from Idali?"
"You're new, and something of this level must be specially customized. 200 million yuan, what can't you make?"
I don’t know if others are deliberately praising Tao Zhiming, or if it’s the things he brings out that are most likely to create an atmosphere.
This charity auction ended up selling 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Tao Zhiming provided something, which was sold for 130, and he spent 900,000 to buy a collection of paintings provided by Huo Yingdong. He alone contributed nearly half of the donation.
come out.
Those who are interested can't help but notice that his relationship with the Huo family is unusual.
Entering the purely social stage, Tao Zhiming chatted casually with some people, and then walked to the elevator with Huo Yingdong and other big guys.
Needless to say, this must be a time when they go to a quiet place in private to discuss real business.
Guan Zhilin looked at the back of the most upright young man among the group, walked up to Zhao Yuanxi, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, I wonder which night you are going to invite me to dinner?"
After speaking, she looked at Chen Yuqi, paying attention to her reaction.
Chen Yuqi said nothing and her expression did not change. But Zhao Yuanxi held her hand, smiled and said, "I'll think about it when I go back. The boss is here, so I naturally have to check his time schedule."
"Then I'll wait for Mr. Zhao's call." Guan Zhilin saw that he was still holding Chen Yuqi's hand when he answered, and by answering like this, he naturally told himself that the real owner was someone else.
She smiled and walked away, but didn't leave first.
Maybe it will be tonight.
…
The revolving restaurant is said to have the best view, but above it, of course, there is a quiet place in the same location.
This is the best suite in the hotel. In the living room of the suite, the big guys are sitting or standing comfortably. Some are drinking tea, and some are lighting cigars.
After a while, after the door was pushed open, these big guys stood up while putting out teacups and putting out cigars.
Three Western faces came in, and Tao Zhiming knew clearly that these were the current leaders of the Xiangdao Governor's Office.
The Governor-General Wei Yixin, who has exercised the power of the Governor on behalf of the Governor, and is currently the chief officer of the Housing Authority, Chung Yi-kit, and the Chief Secretary Howard.
They were no strangers to each other, only Tao Zhiming was a new face to them.
All three of them can speak fluent Chinese, which saves Tao Zhiming from the difficulty of communicating with them in English.
However, according to Huo Yingdong, Wei Yixin and Zhong Yijie have a very objective stance. Only this Howard is rumored to be from the intelligence department of Yingguo. In Xiang Island, he has been secretly training and promoting him since 1967.
Many of them are considered the core of the bureaucracy of the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
However, Howard was quite enthusiastic towards Tao Zhiming and his words were quite friendly.
Tao Zhiming thought about it and realized it. It seemed that what Tao Yaren said was true. The master behind him was working harder to bribe the bureaucracy. As Yingguo was wearing the same pants as Miguo, they were
Is it possible that Tao Yaren doesn't recognize the core bureaucrats here in Xiangdao?
After greetings and sitting down, these people sat in a circle on the sofa around the coffee table.
Wei Yixin looked at Li Jiacheng and smiled: "Mr. Tao, I heard that you think Hong Kong's airport is no longer enough?"
"Yes." Seeing that he went straight to the topic, Tao Zhiming said simply, "Besides, it is located in the center of the city, which is not conducive to future development. It is time for Xiangdao to have a larger and more advanced airport.
The current location of the airport can provide greater value."
"To build a new airport, a lot of money is needed." Wei Yixin said meaningfully.
Tao Zhiming knew that the plan for Xiangdao's new airport had been finalized during his tenure, so he started planning from this point on.
After hearing this, Tao Zhiming looked at the other real estate tycoons in the room, and then he heard Li Jiacheng say: "Weir, we also think it is necessary to build this new airport. As for the money for the construction of the new airport, it depends on the choice.
Where is the site? From the new airport to Kowloon and the main island, the land along the road has greater development value and will also help provide more jobs and tax revenue."
Of course Wei Yixin knew this, so he continued to ask with a smile: "What about the land now occupied by Kai Tak Airport?"
"Their future development rights are of course also a source of funds for the construction of new airports."
"Mr. Tao also wants to expand investment in Hong Kong?" At this time, Wei Yixin asked Tao Zhiming.
