Chapter 306 Auction Items
Since Shen Huanian can send the photos to Tang Wenrou, it means that he is a scumbag with no limits. Who can guarantee that he will not send the photos to the public media?
It can be expected that with Ye Charming's influence in the Chinese entertainment industry, when a photo of her holding her arm intimately appears in front of the public media, it will definitely cause a sensation.
By then, not only will Ye Wumei's image of a pure and beautiful girl be greatly compromised, but she, a guy who has a close relationship with the "national lover", may even become the target of a lot of criticism.
Fang Bai looked at Shen Huanian with cold eyes, and at the same time secretly released a ray of aura, pressing towards Shen Huanian, preparing to give Shen Huanian a warning.
Shen Huanian met Fang Bai's gaze and felt a stinging pain in his eyes. At the same time, his body seemed to be enveloped by a huge invisible mountain. His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Although Shen Huanian didn't know what was going on, he guessed that it must be related to Fang Bai. He broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to look at Fang Bai again.
At eight o'clock in the evening, all the hundreds of invited guests arrived, and the charity auction officially began.
Ye Wumei and Fang Bai found the table number marked on the invitation and sat down there.
Hundreds of other guests also found their own seats and sat down.
The organizer of this charity auction, Jiang Xiaoyu, walked up to the rostrum in front of the hall and made an impromptu speech related to this charity auction. When he talked about the emotional part, his eyes turned red and his voice choked up several times.
Jiang Xiaoyu is passionate about charity. He initiated the establishment of the "Xiaoyu Charity Foundation" five years ago and personally serves as the president. Since then, he has organized members of the foundation to visit poor children in some remote mountainous areas in China and carried out various donation activities. .
The touching things mentioned in Jiang Xiaoyu's speech were all witnessed and experienced by her. For this charity auction, she plans to raise funds to donate and build primary schools and supporting libraries in several impoverished mountainous areas that she has personally visited. We are also preparing to send clothes, shoes, schoolbags, boxes, toys, etc. to the children there.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu showing her true feelings on the rostrum, Fang Bai couldn't help but have a better impression of her, and decided to do his part.
The process of the charity auction is very simple. The guests on the rostrum each take out a treasured item and walk up to the rostrum. After introducing the item, the auctioneer on the rostrum presides over the auction. The guests then bid on the items at a higher price, and the highest bidder gets the items. All proceeds from the auction of the items will be donated to the "Xiaoyu Charity Foundation."
Although previous charity auctions have emphasized participation and did not care about the quality of the items that guests put up for auction, which of the invited guests is not a well-known figure with status and status? How could they have the nerve to put up something too shabby and cheap for auction?
The enthusiasm of bidders to participate in the auction and the price they are willing to pay also depend on the person. Some people will deliberately bid high prices for the items they offer in order to curry favor with a certain person.
For example, last year, a personal jade pendant belonging to Jiang Xiaoyu originally had a reserve price of tens of thousands of yuan. In the end, a friend from the business community bid for it for more than ten million yuan in order to gain access to Jiang Xiaoyu and the Jiang family behind him.
After the charity auction officially started, just like in previous years, Jiang Xiaoyu was the first to make an appearance.
The item Jiang Xiaoyu took out was a pair of bracelets that she had worn for many years, with a base price of 100,000 yuan.
Jiang Xiaoyu had many friends and a wide network of contacts. Although the bracelet she took out was not a rare thing, under the auspices of the auctioneer's inflammatory words, a small climax of bidding was still set off in the hall.
Fang Bai's acquaintances Dongfang Rushi, Lu Jianfeng, Hua Yi, Shen Huanian, Xie Yifeng, and Wang Dong all made bids one after another, and raised the price of the bracelet to more than one million.
As Jiang Xiaoyu's best friend, Ye Wumei was of course not to be outdone and directly increased the price to two million.
However, the scene was filled with celebrities from all walks of life who wanted to climb the big tree of the Jiang family. In the end, a business tycoon from Donghai successfully obtained Jiang Xiaoyu's bracelet for a price of 10 million.
Ye Wumei was not angry because she failed to get her best friend's items. Anyway, the purpose of this auction was for charity, not for comparison. All she had to do was do her part.
After Jiang Xiaoyu, other guests also came on stage to offer their items, with prices ranging from high to low, but none of them could outdo Jiang Xiaoyu's pair of bracelets, which sold for tens of millions.
It wasn't until Hua Yi from "Huichunzhai" came on stage that this situation finally changed.
What Hua Yi took out was a century-old wild ginseng. The market value of this wild ginseng was about three million yuan, but with the golden sign of "Huichunzhai", it would be much more valuable.
All the guests present know that "Huichunzhai" belongs to the Hua family, and the Hua family has produced many famous doctors since ancient times. Even Hua Tianhe, one of the four major traditional Chinese medicine doctors today, came from "Huichunzhai".
Although traditional Chinese medicine is in decline today, the Hua family, the owners of "Huichunzhai", have inherited the essence of their ancestors' medical skills and become a legend in the current traditional Chinese medicine community.
Over the years, countless patients have been cured by "Huichunzhai". Even some diseases that even Western medicine can't cure can achieve good therapeutic effects through the conditioning and treatment of "Huichunzhai" by veteran Chinese medicine practitioners.
No one in the world can guarantee that they will be disease-free throughout their lives, so if they can have a good relationship with the "Huichunzhai", it is equivalent to adding a layer of protection to their lives.
Hua Yi is the grandson of Hua Chun, the head of the Hua family. He is very talented in medicine and is highly valued by Hua Chun. Hua Chun has trained him as the future successor of the family.
Therefore, making good friends with Huayi is equivalent to making good friends with "Huichunzhai" and the Hua family behind it.
Therefore, the century-old wild ginseng that Huayi took out was enthusiastically praised by the guests at the scene, and the starting price of one million yuan was quickly raised to tens of millions of yuan.
Fang Bai had previously found the "Five Elements Mother Qi Cauldron", space rings, cultivation techniques, Yuan stones and other items in the mysterious sinkhole near Yanjing, as well as hundreds of elixirs that were more than a hundred years old. Very rewarding.
Later, Fang Bai rescued Dongfang Ruhua from the "Lingnan Poison Lord". The two encountered heavy rains and mudslides, and by chance they discovered a paradise-like valley, which turned out to be a cultivation cave left by a cultivator.
In that valley, Fang Bai felt the rich vitality of heaven and earth, obtained some precious elixir techniques, and saw elixirs everywhere, many of which were even hundreds of years old.
For Fang Bai, that paradise-like valley was nothing more than a huge treasure house, so that he would no longer have to worry about cultivation resources for a period of time in the future.
