Tang Zichen also noticed that the people who had been beaten by Qin Tian with bloody noses had all left the charity auction hall, probably going to the hospital to treat their nose injuries.
I'm afraid these people will not give up. After all, these people are well-known in Tiannan City.
About an hour later, Feng Kaishan, the chairman of Kaishan Group and the president of Tiannan City Chamber of Commerce, arrived. Beside him, in addition to his assistant, there was an old man with an academic look wearing thick glasses.
"Everyone, welcome to today's charity auction. In view of the fact that many of the items in this auction are calligraphy and painting antiques, which are of great value, I have specially invited Mr. Wen, an expert from Qingzhou University, to come and conduct a review of these calligraphy and painting antiques.
To give a detailed introduction and estimate of the auction item, in order to thank everyone for their contribution to charity, I, Feng Kaishan, would like to toast everyone here."
Feng Kaishan picked up his wine glass, toasted everyone in the hall, and then announced the start of the charity auction.
"Mr. Wen is here. It seems that there are really good things in the auction this time."
Many people were faintly excited.
Because Mr. Wen, the expert from Qingzhou University, is not so easy to hire. If it weren't for the tens of millions of antique calligraphy and paintings, he would not be there to appraise them personally.
Not long after, the charity auction officially began, and every company that came to participate received a number plate and a catalog of items.
The number plates assigned to Qin Tian and Tang Zichen were No. 115. After getting the auction catalogue, Qin Tian looked at it carefully.
Tang Zichen was restless, because the lowest price of the auction item in the catalog was 500,000 yuan, and she only had more than 600,000 yuan left in her bank card, so she might not even be able to win the lowest-priced item.
Especially when she saw Qin Tian's calm look, she was really angry. She didn't know how Qin Tian, as a pauper, had the confidence to be calm and composed.
Soon, the host, staff, and Mr. Wen all went to the auction stage.
According to the auction catalogue, the staff moved the auction items onto the stage one by one, and the host began to give a brief introduction. When it came to calligraphy, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, Mr. Wen personally introduced them in detail.
Among them was a piece of cursive calligraphy written by the great monk Huaisu of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was not the most exquisite kind, the bidding started from the base price of three million, all the way up to eight million, and was finally won by Hong Tianzhao.
"My father likes calligraphy and painting. Eight million is just to make the old man happy." Hong Tianzhao said calmly.
Because it was a charity auction, none of the lots went unsold. The lots with a reserve price of 500,000 yuan were all sold for 800,000 yuan.
Tang Zichen had never raised a card before, and she felt more and more that she couldn't hold her head up and should not come to this auction.
On the auction catalogue, Hong Tianzhao took out two lots, and he quickly took photos of three lots, which really stole the show.
Suddenly, Hong Tianzhao came on stage, grabbed the host's microphone, and shouted directly to Qin Tian: "Qin Tian, you said you are not here to eat and drink, then why did you and Tang Zichen not raise your cards once? I can't believe it.
Let me tell you, you are here today. If you don’t do any charity, I, Hong Tianzhao, will embarrass you. You beat a few of my friends and sent them to the hospital. The people I called have already arrived outside the hotel. Today,
You will be walking around without food."
As soon as he said this, the people below started talking quietly. Everyone felt that Qin Tian and Tang Zichen had made a fool of themselves today, and the development of Sihai Entertainment Company would be difficult in the future.
Moreover, there will be a lot of excitement after the auction.
"Young Master Hong, what are you in a hurry? There are still a few more items to be auctioned."
Tang Zichen's face turned pale, but Qin Tian smiled lightly.
"Okay, let me see what you, a son-in-law, can do for charity!" Hong Tianzhao sneered, then stepped down, and the auction continued.
The next auction item is a wooden box used by the ancient royal family that Hong Tianzhao took out on behalf of the Hong Group.
This box is not big, rectangular, only 25*18 centimeters long and wide, but it is antique and looks very old.
"This box is made of golden nanmu. The wood is very good. It dates from the Song Dynasty. It came from the royal family. It should be a box for the royal family to wear jade pendants. It is estimated to be one million."
Antique appraisal expert Wen Lao said: "However, it is a pity. If the jade pendant in this box is still there, it would be worth at least tens of millions."
The base price of this golden nanmu box was 800,000 yuan, but Mr. Wen said it was worth one million yuan. The first time he raised the sign, someone raised the price to one million yuan.
Then, several more people raised placards and raised the price to 1.3 million.
This time, Qin Tian suddenly raised his placard, directly raising his placard and shouting for 1.5 million.
"You...you are crazy..."
Regarding Qin Tian's move, Tang Zichen almost jumped up from her seat. She couldn't afford so much money. What if no one increased the price?
Hong Tianzhao was also very surprised. He knew that Qin Tian was a poor man and could not afford hundreds of thousands.
He had an idea in his mind and secretly gave some hints to some friends.
So, people continued to hold up placards and bid with Qin Tian.
The price was raised to 1.8 million.
"You must stop raising cards, Qin Tian, I beg you..."
Tang Zichen had no choice but to break out in cold sweat on her forehead. She begged Qin Tian in a low voice.
"Honey, don't worry, I won't embarrass you. This little money is nothing." But Qin Tian smiled, raised the sign again, and increased the price to two million.
A golden nanmu box with an estimated value of one million has been raised to two million. If this is not a waste of money, it is stupidity.
Tang Zichen was confused. She thought Qin Tian was stupid or crazy!
"Everyone, this golden nanmu box is a collection that our Hong Group brought out for this charity auction. Since Qin Tian is determined to take this photo, everyone should give me a face and don't raise the price."
A sinister smile appeared on Hong Tianzhao's face, and he stood up and said to everyone in the hall.
No one dared to offend Hong Tianzhao, so the host quickly dropped the hammer, and Qin Tian took the photo of the golden nanmu box for two million.
When Tang Zichen saw this, he felt so weak that he almost collapsed in his seat.
She can't even get one million, how can she get two million?
When it's time to take out the money later, it won't just be Qin Tian who's embarrassed, her face will be embarrassed as well.
Soon, the charity auction ended and all the lots were sold.
"Qin Tian, you took the photo of the golden nanmu box, but I'm afraid you won't be able to come up with two million."
Hong Tianzhao had already seen Tang Zichen's pale face. He concluded some thoughts in his heart and immediately said loudly.
"What if I can take it out?" Qin Tian smiled lightly.
"You only need to prove that you have two million with you. I will give you this golden nanmu box. As for giving 20% of the original two million, which is 400,000, for charity, I will also contribute."
