Chapter 638 Just Playing Around

643. Just have fun

With the application for the stage in the middle, everyone came to sit under the chairs prepared in advance. The first few rows are naturally occupied by some "big guys", but the people with real "status" are in the boxes on the second floor, which is in sharp contrast to the people below.

This is not because the organizer is "biased", but because some people on the second floor are too noble. Putting it down there is completely disrespectful to others.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome everyone to tonight's charity auction. This auction is organized by Huaying Group to provide lunch for children in impoverished mountainous areas. All funds raised from the auction tonight will be donated to Red Cross. I am Zhang Tian, ​​the host this time. Thank you for your support.”

After the old man on the stage introduced himself, bowed and thanked the crowd, he began to prepare the first auction item.

Tang Wen was also very curious about what they would use as a good start this time, but classmate Xiao Wang said with a smile: "At charity auctions like this, there are usually some artists who bring something to make the lottery."

"Oh? Lottery?" Tang Wen asked curiously. Although he also participated in many other auctions, they were all done by children of aristocratic families for "face" and "applause."

This kind of auction where artists are the main ones is different. The things that the children of other aristocratic families bring out casually are things that many artists will never have access to in their lifetime.

It sounds exaggerated, but the actual situation is like this. The two circles are completely different, and the things they come into contact with are naturally different.

Sure enough, after the host Zhang Tian announced the first auction item, Tang Wen frowned and was speechless.

"What the hell is this?"

It's not that Tang Wen is being pretentious, it's actually a bit speechless that this first auction item is genuine.

"The first auction item was provided by Xiangjiang eldest brother Cheng, a long red strip signed by Xiangjiang writers of all generations."

Qin Feng said speechlessly: "There is really no one like this. Sure enough, the people in Xiangjiang are really stingy."

Classmate Xiao Wang suppressed a smile and said, "I've seen too many of the really cute Young and Dangerous, but you still misunderstood, Old Qin. This is an auction of Changhong, and everyone is just here for the lottery."

"Lottery?" Tang Wen and Qin Feng turned around and looked at Xiao Wang in confusion.

Classmate Xiao Wang explained proudly: "Long red means it will always be prosperous. In the eyes of the businessmen in Xiangjiang, this is a very good sign. It is estimated that people in Xiangjiang will bid for it."

Student Xiao Wang wanted to continue to show off his knowledge, so the host said: "The starting price is 1 million, and the price will increase by 100,000 each time."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone started to make quotations over there.

"1.2 million"

"1.5 million"

"2 million"

"4 million"

What people didn't expect was that a long red was priced at 4 million in just a few rounds.

Similar to what classmate Xiao Wang said, the people who quoted the price this time were almost all people from Xiangjiang. It can be seen that they are very persistent in this long red.

Classmate Xiao Wang also joined in the fun and added 100,000, shouting 4.6 million. But he was soon suppressed by a group of Xiangjiang bosses.

Finally, it was won by a private equity fund owner for 6.66 million. This can be considered a good start.

The host nodded with satisfaction and said: "Congratulations to Boss Tang for winning Changhong with 6.66 million. Now we have the second auction item, the Bole Tu donated by Mr. Ma."

"What the hell is this?" Tang Wen asked in confusion as he looked at the second auction item that the host took out.

Qin Feng introduced: "Bole Tu is a Chinese writer who is good at painting horses. His works are basically worth more than several million. Haha, Mr. Ma is bleeding heavily this time."

First, career success, then immediate success. It seems that the organizer's stunt this time is really good, and some bosses who believe in Feng Shui will fight for it no matter what.

Sure enough, just as the people in Xiangjiang like Changhong, the bosses in the mainland are much more interested in this Bole Tuna. As the auctioneer announced the starting price of 3 million, the price was soon called 8 million.

"8.1 million? One time."

"8.2 million, are there any more bids?"

"8.88 million for the first time."

"Two times, three times, congratulations to the distinguished guest No. 66 for taking the Bole picture for 8.88 million."

As the auction continued, something "weird" finally appeared.

"The tenth auction item is a pure silk handkerchief provided by Ms. Liu Qing. The starting price is 100,000 yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than 10,000 yuan."

Tang Wen couldn't help but shuddered as he looked at the grandma-level Liu Qing who was flashing her charming eyes on the stage: "What the hell is this?"

Classmate Xiao Wang covered his mouth and snickered: "Don't you know what it means? Old Tang?"

"Do I know a ghost?" Tang Wen asked confused.

Qin Feng suppressed a smile and said: "This thing is the "rule" in the circle, which means a kiss. As long as whoever takes the picture of that silk scarf can be a happy couple."

"Oh my god, this is howling like a spring breeze? Isn't this frightening?" Tang Wen was speechless.

However, there were still people who wanted to "have a good time". After a while, several bosses started bidding. Within a few rounds, the price of the silk scarf had already reached 200,000 yuan.

"Are they really a bunch of animals? 200,000? Does she deserve that?" Tang Wen said dumbfounded.

Classmate Xiao Wang said with a bad smile: "I do it for face, right? Look at the Golden Lion's money, Baldhead hasn't bid yet."

Sure enough, Qian Guangtou of Golden Lion Investment raised the price to 800,000 in one breath, which made the people around him a little stunned. Tang Wen thought it was over, but he didn't expect that a middle-aged man next to him actually bid 880,000.

"VIP No. 80 bid 880,000, the first time, the second time? The third time, congratulations to VIP No. 80."

Tang Wen asked: "Huh? Why didn't Qian Guangtou bid? Isn't that Liu Qing his mistress?"

Qin Feng laughed and said: "Old Tang, you don't know this, right? That's called carrying a sedan chair."

"Carrying a sedan chair?" Tang Wen was even more speechless. There are so many secret codes in this circle?

Xiao Wang nodded and said, "What Lao Qin said is right. That Qian Guangtou is here to raise the price. People like Liu Qing usually pay around 500,000 yuan. If there is no such price, it would be a "loss" for Liu Qing. So people like Qian Guangtou would come out to help. As for who Liu Qing once had a love affair with, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, they are just a couple who have been together for a while."

"Damn, people in the circle still know how to play." Tang Wen sighed, but in his opinion, 880,000 yuan to find Liu Qing for "communication"? Don't make a fuss about so many long-legged girls. Tang Wen is not stupid.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Lao Tang, in fact, they are just like you. They are just playing for fame. If Liu Qing is not famous, no one would want this thing even if he pays for it. Anyway, everyone is just playing for novelty."

Tang Wen nodded in amazement. It was really something he had never seen before.
