Chapter 455 Wearing the Cloak of Charity
If someone asks, what is the most useless thing in the hands of billionaires?
There may be many answers, and the most common one should be super yachts.
However, this time the Athena came in handy. In order not to embarrass the VIPs who do not have a special plane, this super yacht will be responsible for the transportation from Hawaii to Lanai Island.
Many people don't use private planes. It's not that they don't have American knives, it's that their status is inconvenient. Officials and members of the royal family still need to pay attention in this regard.
Even if it is a charity auction, you can only participate in a private capacity, which is a matter of principle. If it's just a commercial auction, it would be very wrong for you to show up there.
Some people said that if you run a charity auction for wool, and you have no money to make, you may have to pay a lot of money.
Hehe, that's not what you said. There is a problem of influence here. If you do a good start, you will be popular in the future. If the quality is not high enough, people might as well play in Europe, why come to a small island.
To put it bluntly, no matter what kind of private island you are, it is also the territory of the United States. You will never be allowed to engage in any contraband, and the tax you should pay must not be less than a dime.
Then, the only attractive thing is that the guests who come here to participate in the auction are of a high level. The charity auction is just an addition. After this auction is over, it will naturally be a commercial auction.
Needless to say, charity auctions are similar to those in the United States, and everyone is just playing for the same purpose. Even the foot basin people who hated gods and ghosts did not recklessly increase the price all the way, and when the valuation was almost reached, the deal was announced.
It is worth mentioning that this auction venue has many professional auction venues, but none of them surpass this one in terms of scale and facilities.
"Tsk tsk, William, the foot basin man is really rich. The charity auction two days ago didn't show it, but now it's good..." Seeing the foot basin man raising placards frequently, little Bush couldn't help complaining.
"Hehe, you are just envious and jealous. You talk about new money and old money in China, and you talk about foot-pot money here. Hahaha, people use American knives, and I make a lot of money. Why should I care about that?" William White retorted. Well, a bumpkin family like him would be looked down upon in the United States. What they admire are the so-called old nobles.
"Ha, you don't have to be weird, if you're not happy, just marry them directly."
"Don't talk about it, just those guys who fled on the Mayflower? You nobles, when they got off the ship, they were worse than the Indians. They couldn't stand it anymore, so they rewarded them with a few turkeys."
Little Bush was speechless. He had watched Dances with Wolves, so he naturally knew what William White was complaining about. This thing really embarrasses the US Emperor.
Little Bushu didn't want to talk about this, so he could only change the subject, his ancestors did many bad things.
"Then what, isn't your auction house just for pitting pots?"
"Haha, look, in order not to make them work too hard, I delivered it to their door. They must be very happy."
Little Bushu never doubted this guy's ability to make money. The Europeans and American emperors were sour about the money, so they simply delivered the goods to their door.
"Damn, why don't you hold a footbath session."
"Don't worry, don't worry, you can have this, the US Emperor and John Bull are not allowed to enter."
Little Bushu was completely defeated by this guy's shamelessness. It seemed that this guy no longer wanted to behave in order to make money.
When he arrived at the so-called White House, little Bush was dumbfounded again.
"Damn it, this is a palace."
"Nonsense, this is another courtyard, and it hasn't been fully repaired, but it doesn't affect the residence."
"Well, the word extravagance has a new interpretation."
"I don't understand. This is called stimulating domestic demand. If I wasn't worried about being complained about, I could reproduce one in Malibu Beach. It's just a pity that there is no winter here, so there is no way to build a winter garden."
"Tsk tsk, as expected, the Tianchao Garden is still beautiful."
After all, little Bushu had stayed in the Celestial Dynasty. Although it looks a little different here, it also has the meaning of a palace building.
"I said, what's the point of repairing it at your auction house? It's fine if it's not here. Anyway, it won't be used a few times a year, just like your super yacht."
To complain about his yacht really made him unable to refute it. To be honest, this thing is just a little smaller. The super yacht is a super yacht, and it is completely a 13.
"It's not bad this time. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. That Germanic shipyard will definitely receive a lot of orders."
William White is really not talking nonsense. The desert tycoon who came this time is very interested in his yacht. Seeing that, the displacement of more than 10,000 tons is not enough.
Although he kept making complaints, little Bush would not mind sleeping here. He also figured it out, no wonder William White kept coming here for vacation, after staying in this place for a long time, he really didn't want to go out to work.
In just a few days, the charity auction on Lanai quickly swept the world. The extravagant spending of the super-rich is originally very hateful, but after putting on the cloak of charity, it becomes a sense of social responsibility.
Could it be that he really didn't come out to complain?
There is really no such thing, those who know know it, and those who don't know will never know.
Like the Emperor's New Clothes, it's just so fun, no one is giving this kind of charity a thumbs-up. As for the emperor's new clothes, if the story is not false, then children who tell the truth will definitely not have any good results.
"Good shot, George, your recent skills are good. You can barely PK with me, how about it, how about a good horse?"
"I don't like gambling, it's very unhealthy." Little Bush said with a curled lip.
"Damn, can we have a good chat? Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Little Bush is helpless, this guy can no longer beat William White, you know, back then, this guy's golf ball was the most popular joke in the upper class. If they don't play together in just a few years, Bush's level is not enough.
"Fuck, I've decided to build a golf course when I go back to Texas. What's so great about this thing, I'll get used to it after playing a few more times."
"Damn, you know that it's enough to be proficient. How did you bastards mock me back then?"
"Hahaha, hahaha, it's not the buddy back then. I heard people say not long ago that if you don't participate in the Masters, this meme will always exist."
Facing this guy's ridicule, William White could only smile wryly. Bad things have always been spread far and wide, no matter where they are.
The commercial auctions in the past two days were very lively, and many European collectors were attracted due to the appearance of many good things. It's a pity that they seem to have difficulty snatching the lot from the hands of the foot basin.
What makes foot basin people extremely comfortable is that this auction has VIP boxes, and orders can be placed directly through the computer.
This innovation is simply a timely rain for foot basin people. Prior to this, when they were throwing money desperately in Europe, they often suffered from other people's eyes.
It's all right now, we just don't leave any of them for you, and you don't have a temper, the guests of Box No. 1, haha, this title is really good.
