Chen Yuyao walked up to the host stage, opened her red lips lightly into the microphone and said: "Good evening, all guests. On behalf of New Era Mall, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for coming, especially to the leaders who have taken the time out of their busy schedules. Thank you for your support."
participate!"
When the words fell, Xiaolin and the etiquette lady below arranged for everyone to sit down. The seat in the middle of the first row was reserved for Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cheng Wei. On the left was Mayor Pang, and then Commander Chen.
Luo Lei's seat is located between Mayor Pang and Commander Chen, with Wang Qing on the left and Mu Xue on the right. It's so cool to be sandwiched between two beautiful women.
This was arranged by Xiaolin according to Chen Yuyao's wishes. When Chen Yunfei passed by, he reached out and touched her behind, making two evil laughs.
Commander Chen saw all this but did not say anything.
Luo Lei also saw it, and thought to himself, you are really brave, you actually promoted the drama beauty in front of your father, even if she is your girlfriend, your father still doesn't know about it!
"Today, we will raise funds for charity in a very interesting way, and all the proceeds will be used for the education of poor children!" Chen Yuyao briefly introduced the purpose of the dinner, and then announced: "Now, the charity party officially begins!"
When the music sounded, Chen Yuyao walked off the podium and sat in the organizer's office area on the side.
A host with a very inflammatory tone jumped onto the rostrum, with a smile that didn't deserve a beating, and began to make a long and nasty speech. Then, a dozen etiquette ladies placed stones one by one on the front desk.
I looked at the table and found that there were hundreds of them.
In some places, stone gambling is a very old activity, but for the people in Huadu who stretch out inland, it is still full of freshness.
Some stones have "windows" open, revealing a small piece of green, and some are rough stones that look worthless. It is said that these all come from a place in the south where jade is produced, and were purchased by New Era at a high price.
There is a price tag under each stone. You can look at it casually, or with the help of professional tools such as flashlights. If a stone is liked by two or more people at the same time, and they all have the intention to buy, it will enter the bidding stage, similar to
auction.
"Next, I ask Secretary Cheng of the Municipal Party Committee to pick the first piece!" the host shouted at the top of his lungs.
Cheng Wei stood up from his seat with a smile, looked from the first stone to the last one, picked one that was similar in size to a pineapple, and said, "Just this one, whether it's jade or stone, it's finally done for charity."
A little contribution!”
"Secretary Cheng's level is indeed very high, and it makes us all look at him!" The host spared no effort to flatter him: "The price of this stone is 30,000 yuan. May I ask Secretary Cheng, do you plan to cut it open on the spot?
Or take it back and collect it?"
"Since it is a gambling stone, I believe everyone would like to know whether it is stone or jade, so let's cut it open on the spot!" Cheng Wei said.
A necessary procedure for gambling stones is cutting. Four staff members brought up a small water jet cutting machine. Compared with mechanical cutting, water jets make no noise and are suitable for such a dinner party.
Soon, the skilled craftsman cut a knife into the stone. Everyone's eyes widened, and the stone was still exposed inside. When he cut again at another angle, it was still a stone.
Cheng Wei had a smile on his face, but he was actually more nervous than anyone else. 30,000 yuan was nothing to him, but if the opportunity was turned into 100,000 yuan, or 300,000 yuan, or 3 million yuan, who would refuse?
Then came the third cut, finally showing a little green, and then the fourth cut.
Finally, the master brought a piece of jade as big as a small egg with some impurities to Cheng Wei and said, "Although the quality of this piece of jade is not very good, it is worth more than 30,000 yuan. Congratulations!"
"
"Haha, you are so lucky!" Cheng Wei said happily.
Everyone saw that they could pick out an inconspicuous stone at random and cut it out without losing money, and everyone was eager to try it. Next, it entered the stage of random selection. Cheng Wei was the only one who had the choice.
He felt more honored and cast a satisfied look at Chen Yuyao.
As the organizer, Chen Yuyao also followed everyone to the display stage.
"Sister Yuyao, how much money did you get this time?" Luo Lei asked in a low voice, pretending to be picking rocks.
"Fortunately, including other expenses for the dinner, it didn't exceed 400,000!" Chen Yuyao said with a smile.
"Oh, then I'm relieved!" Luo Lei nodded and said with a smile: "I'm still worried. If jade can be cut out of every stone, the price of these stones will be as high as the sky.
!”
"Hee hee, I'm in business, and I will never do a loss-making business!" Chen Yuyao had already made the calculations. Even if everyone only picked the ones with the lowest prices, the total would be more than three million. If
If a few big names can appear, more help can be raised for poor children.
There were many so-called masters among the guests. They held powerful flashlights and shined them on the stones. From their unfazed expressions, Luo Lei concluded that these people must have gained knowledge about stone gambling on the Internet.
It's just a temporary trick, but it's far from a real master!
Luo Lei held Wang Qing's hand and said with a smile: "Are you interested in trying your luck?"
Wang Qing shook her head and said, "The water here is too deep. Why don't you do it? I don't have the habit of spending money randomly."
Luo Lei was startled, thinking about the scene when he visited a specialty store before. The two of them wore more than 30,000 pieces of clothing together. This is not a habit of spending money randomly. Then the brother who has always been frugal, wouldn't it be?
Role model?
Don’t we have that old guy who’s a dick? Just ask him to come forward and see if he can, hehe!
After waking up the old guy, he impatiently released his sensing ability and muttered: "You can even think of it with your toes. If there is something good here, that would be weird... Wait, wait, there is something good!"
Boy, hurry up, hurry up, the sixth one from the last is a good stone!"
"Okay? How good is it?" Luo Lei didn't take it seriously.
"It's much better than the one you bought for 20 US dollars in Lagamon last time!" The old guy said with excitement: "The piece last time was just a top-quality jade, but this one is a legendary jade."
As for the essence, the powerful energy contained in it should not be underestimated. It can be made into pendants, jade bracelets and other things, which can prolong life! If given to cultivators, it can help improve their strength!"
"Oh no, you are so domineering!" Luo Lei grabbed Wang Qing's little hand and walked over there, heading straight for the booth at the back.
"Have you made your choice?" Wang Qing asked as she walked.
Luo Lei did not speak, but found the sixth to last piece as quickly as possible. It was an irregular stone larger than a basketball, with a brown and blue-grey surface. There were traces of manual digging on it, but
It's not like some stones with windows that have been opened, with small patches of green, which shows that someone also wanted to open a window on it at that time, but after knocking it off a few times, they found that there was nothing inside, so they gave up.
"It can't be this one, right?" Wang Qing asked Luo Lei.
"It can't be this one, right?" Luo Lei asked the old guy. The piece next to it looked more similar to this one. It was obviously a worthless piece of broken stone. It was probably picked up from the roadside to make up for the money.
Moreover, such a large stone is only priced at 3,000 yuan. The one next to it is only one-third the size, and it is priced at 34,500 yuan just because it has a small patch of green on it!
The old guy said angrily: "When have I ever lied to you? I am absolutely certain and certain that it is this inconspicuous piece! The weight of the jade essence inside is at least one kilogram. If you are lucky, the energy contained in it can directly
You have become a master in the Dan Formation Stage!"
"Wow, I sold it!" Luo Lei was about to stretch out his hand when he suddenly noticed a few glances coming towards him. He had no choice but to have Wang Qing, a beautiful woman, following him. Mayor Pang and Commander Chen were so polite to him. How could they be so polite to him?
Don't you want to attract everyone's attention?
No, you can't show it too strongly. If a kid comes to fight for it, and you don't have much money with you, you will be able to give others an advantage, but it won't be worth the loss.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the stone next to him.
Wang Qing put her hand on her chest, took a deep breath, and said, "Let me tell you, how could a smart person like you fall in love with a piece of useless stone, even if it is the cheapest!"
Haha, that’s great. Even Wang Qing was fooled. Luo Lei knew that he had succeeded! Because those guys with ulterior motives also set their sights on the rock he was looking at. When the time comes, you will rush to lift it.
Go ahead and raise the price, I will fan the flames for you!
Ten minutes later, the host began to call out the numbers of the stones one by one. If no one was interested, they passed directly. If only one person wanted it, they bought it at the original price. If there were two or more people, they started bidding.
Finally, when we arrived at the stone with a price tag of 34,500, the host shouted: "No. xxxx, is anyone interested?"
Luo Lei was the first to raise his hand. Then, several people also raised their hands, including the man with glasses who parked the sports car in the basement. He is a second-generation rich man who has returned from overseas. His father is a famous local entrepreneur.
As we all know, young people like Chen Yuyao and chase her in public every time. It's strange today that he didn't say a word to Chen Yuyao.
"It seems that there are quite a few people who like this stone!" The host still had a look on his face and said, "Okay, let's start bidding. Just like the previous rules, you can bid freely. You can add as much as you like at one time!"
Luo Lei was the first to raise his hand: "I'll pay 50,000!"
Since so many people are interested and everyone wants to save face, they won’t be defeated in the first round of bidding. One guy immediately raised his hand and said: "Fifty-five thousand!"
"Fifty-eight thousand!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!" The man with glasses was the last to quote the price.
Luo Lei couldn't help but glance at him, feeling a hint of danger in his heart for no apparent reason.
