Chapter 545 Special Auction Items
Xiang G's charity organization is famous in the world, and Xiang G people are known as "one of the most generous charitable people in the world".
Relevant data shows that Xiang G's relevant institutions can get an average donation of $60 per letter, which is much higher than the donation of only $10 in the United States and $5 in the United Kingdom.
This charity auction, led by the Li Shi Foundation, is held jointly with other charities. The proceeds from the auction will be used for the treatment of children and women.
Before the auction venue closed, Guang Yongyuan and Lin Hong arrived in time.
Many people have already sat in the venue, and Lin Hong can only choose a back seat to sit down.
In front of the venue, there is a small table similar to a speech table.
After waiting for a while, the auction officially began.
A middle-aged man in his forties in a suit came up at this time, with a small beard on his mouth and chin, which looked very masculine. He held a small wooden hammer in his hand.
Lin Hong looked back at Guang Yongyuan, and the other party nodded to him. That is to say, this person is the person they want to meet today.
Guang Yongyuan whispered, "He is Huang Yue, commonly known as AUN.
Behind him, one is a famous host of the TV station, and the other must also know him.
Beside Huang Yue, there are also two beautiful women. One of them, Lin Hong, does know him. He is a well-known film and television star. Huang Yue, who often appears in entertainment news, did not say much nonsense, and started the auction directly. His voice is very loud, full of breath, and a little magnetic. Perhaps it is because of this that he is qualified for the position of auctioneer.
Lin Hong looked around and saw that the two beautiful women, black and white, were sitting in front of him. At this moment, he was checking the auction album in his hand.
Lin Hong also has a copy of this album in his hand. In addition, there is also a number plate with No. 86 printed on it. These two things are basically one share per person.
The album is full of things to be auctioned tonight, so that everyone can take a good look at the items in advance, so that they can be prepared, and the auction will be auctioned smoothly after the official start.
There are a variety of items to be auctioned tonight, including all kinds of jewelry, world-class cars, famous watches, and some antique calligraphy, paintings and antiques.
Lin Hong turned a few pages a little and didn't see anything he was interested in, so he put aside the atlas, and then observed the people present with a little curiosity.
Compared with all kinds of things, he is more interested in people.
The people sitting are all the so-called upper-class figures, which are not easy to see at ordinary times. Lin Hong let go of his mind and perceives their thoughts at this moment.
The man next to him is planning to take a picture of something and give it to his wife later. Of course, he also prepared another copy for someone hidden in the New World.
The rich woman in the first two rows was thinking about a string of diamond necklaces, while the man next to her was staring at Li Duoer's back and fantasizing about herself and Li Duoer... Er, it's a little inappropriate for children.
All kinds of life are displayed in front of Lin Hong.
The so-called upper class people think is actually no different from ordinary people. Seven emotions and six desires, desire and human nature are all shortcomings. In some aspects, it is not even as good as ordinary Lao Bai. Just when Lin Hong is curiously observing others, the auction is also in progress.
The first auction item was the fat rich woman's crazy diamond necklace, with a reserve price of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. At the beginning of the quotation, she forced her skinny husband to quote 300,000 yuan.
Maybe it was just the beginning to warm up, or maybe everyone was not very interested in it, and no one else robbed her. She got the diamond necklace for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars as she wished.
But then there was a trace of pain on her face. She sat next to her and blamed her husband for not lowering the price. She completely forgot, as if she had just asked her husband to quote the price.
The second auction item is a green huā porcelain huā bottle from an official kiln in the Song Dynasty, with a reserve price of 500,000 yuan.
This thing has aroused the interest of some people, and everyone began to compete for the quotation.
Fifty-five million.
600,000.
700,000.
Guang Yongyuan whispered at this time, "I know this bottle. It's the collection of the old man Li family. How can I be willing to donate it?"
"The old man of the Li family?" Lin Hong doesn't know anything about Xiang G.
Guang Yongyuan explained, "Xiang G is the richest man."
When he said this, Lin Hong suddenly understood who he was talking about.
While they were talking, the price of this huā bottle had climbed to one million, and it seemed that everyone's interest had not dissipated.
A huā bottle, one million Hong Kong dollars.
Lin Hong shook his head. He really couldn't accept this price.
The value of money is endorsed by the government and other institutions. They recognize its value, and the money has value.
The value of the collection is determined by the market, or it is endorsed by those collectors. If they think it is worth it, then it is worth it. That is to say, if things are put here, there will always be someone willing to take over.
Of course, there are many factors involved.
The price ofcollections is actually largely controlled by people.
For example, when the Eight-Nation Alliance, Britain or other countries robbed more certain types of collections, and such products were often speculated internationally. They speculated the price and then sold them to collectors in [China] countries. Both sides enjoyed it and thought they had taken advantage of it.
Lin Hong is a pragmatist. He is not interested in this kind of thing. In his eyes, the value of a huā bottle is the value of ordinary handicrafts, and the age is a floating cloud in his eyes.
When the price climbed to 1.2 million, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in the field: " 1.5 million."
This voice is very familiar. As soon as Lin Hong heard it, he knew that it was made by Li Duoer.
After the sound, the whole scene was quiet. Everyone seemed to be a little surprised that Li Duoer would make an offer, but then many people nodded slightly to show that it was reasonable.
In the end, no one else made an offer, and the huā bottle was photographed by Li Duoer.
"I bought it back again... No wonder, I said how could the old man be willing..." Guang Yongyuan said to himself.
When Lin Hong heard his words, he knew that the bottle was Li Duoer's. He donated it and then bought it back, that is, he donated 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars to the charity foundation in disguise.
It's really a rich man's game... Lin Hong shook his head slightly.
The auction continued, and then a lot of things were auctioned, including diamond brooches, calligraphy and paintings of ancient Tang and Song Dynasties, and jewelry designed by famous French jewelry designers...
The treasures were photographed one by one, and the numbers on the accounts of the charity foundation were also accumulating. Because it is a charity auction, the auction is very harmonious, and there are few occasions of competition.
On the stage, Huang Yue continued to introduce loudly: "Everyone, what will be auctioned next is a relatively special thing. To be precise, a design drawing is said to be the famous American genius scientist Nicholas, who is known as a genius, painted by Tesla that year..." (To be continued
