The banquet hall was crowded with people, and everyone came here for socializing more. Therefore, not many people paid attention to what happened here. After all, both sides were still restrained and did not start a fuss on the spot.
Li Jianren patted Wu Jiamin on the shoulder and asked him to go to socialize by himself without taking care of himself.
As for Aren, he was still the same as before. He held a glass of red wine and took some food, and started eating on his own. However, there were a few people next to him who were funny to see him like this and pointed at him.
It seemed to be talking about something. However, he didn't care at all. Who did he love and what happened to eat something by himself?
Time gradually came to seven o'clock, and Wen Jiye, as the host, finally got on the front desk and started the theme of this event.
"Dear friends and guests, thank you for your visit. It is honored to invite you to attend today's charity dinner." Wen Jiye began his speech.
Hosting a charity dinner on such a stage is a test of his ability. Fortunately, at least for now, it is quite good. All the guests who should come have come, and finally gave him a lot of money.
face.
In addition, there were some new faces, and he went to say hello one by one, at least to be able to live up to the face. Although, he might not remember a few people. After all, he didn't know all of them today.
Wen Jiye paused for a moment and then continued: "Today's charity dinner is mainly to help children with leukemia in the mainland and to give them a certain amount of money to support their courage to survive. Here, many families have contributed their collections and used
All payments will be donated tonight's auction."
Wen Jiye made a long speech for more than ten minutes. It was rare for him to host a charity dinner, so he certainly needed to show off in order to make his mark among the new generation of successors. This is also a sign that the Wen family supports the new generation of successors.
Of course, the subsequent links will be handed over to professional auctioneers.
Today, all lots have been approved by formal appraisal agencies and the initial auction price is given.
The first item was a vase from the Ming Dynasty. After the auctioneer introduced the product, he immediately called out that the vase was sold at a minimum price of 1 million yuan.
Wen Jiye, who was already sitting in the audience, raised his hand and the first offer was 1.5 million.
Of course, there will be no one who doesn't understand the rules to compete with him. This is also a hidden rule. As the owner, if you take the first collection, you can also draw a tone for everyone. The roughly price of the collection is within this range.
Within, please feel free to do it, don't hurt your kindness too much.
Of course, if you are stupid and have a lot of money, you have to buy a high price, and others won't talk too much. After all, some collections are really rare. Some people like them very much and are willing to compete with others and pay for a high price. That's another
This is a saying.
The second collection is a calligraphy and painting by Li Qiao in the Qing Dynasty. Li Jianren didn't know much about these and had never heard of the person's name, so he just looked at it on the wall.
However, there are indeed several young people who like calligraphy and paintings who have quoted prices one after another.
"600,000!" A young man in a black dress and gold-rimmed glasses raised his hand.
Wu Jiamin next to him introduced Li Jianren. This is Zhou Minghao, the second son of Hong Kong Furniture Group. His family mainly does furniture business and can be regarded as the leader of Xiangdao furniture industry.
"I'll pay 650,000 yuan, Mr. Zhou, if you don't give it to me, what if you give it to me!" A fat man not far away continued to raise the price, but his face inadvertently showed a treacherous smile.
"This guy's family is in the building materials business, and he is called Wu Min. He is good at eating, drinking, gamblers, and gambling. I heard that he had a private holiday with the eldest son of the Zhou family, but now he is deliberately arguing with Zhou Minghao." Wu Jiamin looked disdainful, as if he seemed to be
Sad to be the same surname.
Zhou Minghao did not talk or even glanced at the other party, but continued to shout, "700,000!"
Wu Min there seemed to be unwilling to give up and continued to raise the price, "750,000! This painting of someone looks good. I will take it back and give it to my grandfather. He must like it very much!"
"800,000, Wu Min, if you continue to pay a higher price, I will give in too!" Zhou Minghao said with retreating as he advanced. He wanted to see if Wu Min's candid will really buy it back.
.
Wu Min there heard the other party say this, of course he would not continue to raise the price. He had no intention of buying it, but just to disgust the other party, he avenged Zhou Minghao's brother to disturb his good deeds.
In the end, Zhou Minghao won the victory, but also paid a 30% higher price than usual. This made him a little unhappy.
Seeing that the painting had been sold, the auctioneer was worried that the two sides would argue again, so he quickly reported the third collection, "The third collection is a string of necklaces. He was an emerald necklace designed by Mr. Alide., a famous European master, and especially the hanging one.
The jadeite chosen for the pendant is imperial green. Please see it!"
When Li Jianren looked at this necklace, he was indeed unique in design and ingenious in concept. The jade on the pendant complemented each other, which made him very fond of it.
If such a necklace is worn on Cheng Xiaoxiao's long neck, it will definitely make it even more dazzling.
"The starting price is 500,000, please bid!" The auctioneer shouted out the starting price.
"600,000!" "650,000!" "700,000!" If there are many people who know the goods or like them, they will soon rise to 700,000. At this time, Li Jianren had not started bidding yet.
"800,000!" Li Jianren directly increased the price by 100,000, as if he was determined to win.
Many people who had bid before began to hesitate, but someone shouted loudly, "850,000!"
Li Jianren looked calmly, but it was Yang Che. At this time, Yang Che also looked at Li Jianren with a smile, as if saying, Come on, continue!
Lee Jianren didn't want to get involved with such people here, but he had no choice but to go against him.
"1 million!" Li Jianren curled his lips at Yang Che like a provocative look.
"1.1 million!" Yang Che held the wine glass in his hand and raised the glass to Li Jianren, as if he was responding to Li Jianren.
More than 1 million is a serious premium. If this continues, I still don’t know what price to shout.
"1.5 million!" He directly called out the price of Wen Jiye when he bought the first collection, which was within a roughly one-range period of this charity auction.
This raises a problem for Yang Che. If he continues to bid, it will inevitably exceed 1.5 million, which will exceed the usual rules. Then he is the first person to break the rules. Although the owner of course hopes for the auction price.
The higher the better, but the guests don’t think so. The main thing that everyone comes here is to support it, just pay a little money and just get it.
If you don’t follow the rules, then there are some things that are hard to say. This is a circle, not a real auction house. You can go to the auction house and you will pay whatever price you pay, that is your freedom, but here you must always follow some rules.
Only do it.
In the end, Yang Che, who had hesitated for almost a minute, still did not continue to speak. Until the auctioneer called for 1.5 million for the third time, the collection belonged to Li Jianren.
The collection was delivered on the spot, and Li Jianren also wrote the check and handed it to the relevant service staff. After that, the service staff will confirm the authenticity of the check and whether there is any problem with the amount of the check.
Of course, this is just a process. But since you can receive invitations, you are all well-known people. Who wouldn’t cheat in this aspect? Unless you really don’t plan to stay in Xiangdao in the future. Otherwise, everyone would be able to see this face.
Still paying attention to it.
The auction continued, but Li Jianren no longer had much intention of continuing to auction anything. The main reason was that he really didn't understand calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, etc., and many of the items were all of them, which made him helpless.
However, Wu Jiamin took a photo of a brush-washing product from the early Qing Dynasty, worth 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. This made him overjoyed, holding it inside and out, repeatedly playing with it.
Li Jianren suddenly realized that he was really a country bumpkin and didn't know anything. Look at him, even though there were many playboys who came today, he could say everything. Even if he was bragging, he would let you
A little bit true.
Li Jianren thought to himself that it seems that he will still have to take an art-related tasting course next year, otherwise he will be looked down upon if he really encounters good things and doesn’t know them in the future.
