Chapter 300 A Surprise Worth 30 Million
A piece of auction was auctioned, and more and more money was raised.
Li Dong also photographed two things on the way, which cost him more than 500,000 yuan, which is not a lot, but it is quite a lot compared to other people except for that guy Qi Chong.
As for the tables in front, no one has made a move yet.
Time passed, and when a piece of sculpture was taken down, the host took a breath and said, "There is only the last one left!"
"This is a painting, a somewhat special painting."
"Its author is not a famous artist, or even a professional painter. This is the work of a nine-year-old child. She comes from Dawang Village at the foot of Mount Houtou. The little girl is Tian Xiaoyu, who just entered the third grade this year.
On the day of the flash flood, Xiaoyu lost her parents...
In the rescue tent, the little girl drew a picture with a pencil - "Parents and Me".
This painting may seem like graffiti to you, but Xiaoyu cherishes it very much. When she heard that we were going to raise funds for the disaster area this time, Xiaoyu gave us her most precious thing. She told us that she hopes that all uncles and aunts can buy her paintings, and the money from the sale can save more people. She doesn't want others and no parents..."
"The following auction begins, no reserve price bidding!"
After the host finished speaking, many people's eyes were a little red.
Then everyone raised their cards together.
"50000!"
"100,000!"
"160,000!"
"..."
"No. 6, Mr. Xu from Longhua Group bid 500,000 yuan!"
"No. 4, Jiangbei Nonferrous Yellow has a total bid of 600,000!"
"No. 5, Jiangbei Energy Zhang's total bid is 800,000!"
...
Several big crocodiles who hadn't made a sale before have made a move one after another. For these people, it doesn't matter what the auction item is, the key is to be meaningful.
No matter how expensive something is, it is just an item. These few companies are not short of money, and there is no need to compete with others.
But this painting is different. Maybe this painting is worthless in the eyes of outsiders, but it has too much meaning.
This is auctioned as the finale item, so it is naturally not something that ordinary people can decide on.
They all knew that today's dinner party would be attended by leaders of the provincial party committee. Whether it was the order of the auction arranged by the above, it would be right to take the picture.
Even if it is auctioned for a sky-high price, everyone is not surprised.
On the one hand, it is for the leaders to see, and on the other hand, it is a good means of publicity.
The graffiti of a nine-year-old girl in the disaster area was auctioned for a sky-high price. How could this kind of news media not hype it up.
In addition, the charity gala will be broadcast on TV, so this kind of sensational event will definitely attract attention. Even if it is a publicity advertisement, it is worth spending some money.
Not to mention a few big crocodiles, Li Dong's eyes lit up.
Shen Qian asked him to show off before, but Li Dong has never found a suitable opportunity, and now it seems that the opportunity has come.
When Xu Shengzhe reached the bid of 2 million, Li Dong raised his sign and said, "3 million!"
Xu Shengzhe glanced at him sideways, nodded slightly, and then said, "4 million!"
Now it's only the two of them who are fighting on the field. The non-ferrous and energy groups are not the real principals, and it's hard to explain how much money is spent.
Another point is that these two are state-owned enterprises and are in a monopoly position.
If it can be photographed, the two families don't mind flattering the provincial leaders, but if it can't be photographed, they don't care.
Anyway, they are a monopoly, and media propaganda has little effect on them.
Besides, there will be donations on stage later, so there is no need to compete with others at the auction.
"5000000!"
"Five million! Mr. Li from Yuanfang bid 5 million, which has already broken the auction record tonight. A painting of a nine-year-old child sold for a sky-high price of 5 million! There is a price in the auction, and true feelings are priceless! Yuanfang Supermarket has always been Pingchuan A role model for retail..."
For the host's help in advertising, Li Dong readily accepted.
Xu Shengzhe didn't rush to bid. He and Li Dong had no enmity. At this time, everyone should support each other. He is not Qi Guanghe, so naturally he is not in a hurry.
After the host finished speaking, Xu Shengzhe raised his sign again and said, "5.5 million!"
"Oh my God! I can't believe it. Mr. Xu of Longhua Group has bid again, 5.5 million. Longhua is indeed one of the top ten enterprises in Jiangbei. Longhua Group has always been committed to charity..."
The host is very good at speaking, and the flattery is also very good.
Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe are very satisfied.
The two bid without haste, which lasted for seven or eight minutes, and the price finally reached eight million.
Eight million can be said to be a truly sky-high price. Even if it is a leading master in the country, the pinnacle paintings may not be worth this price.
The previous Li Yiming was regarded as a big name in the Chinese painting circle, but a landscape painting only sold for more than three hundred thousand yuan.
In 2006, hundreds of thousands of paintings were already considered good, and only famous artists could enjoy this treatment.
But now, a piece of graffiti has reached eight million.
Not to mention the host's incoherent excited speech, other people on the field also looked sideways.
Longhua, Yuanfang, no matter what outsiders think of these two companies before, after tonight, the two companies will become synonymous with caring companies in Jiangbei.
As for that bastard Qi Chong, even though he bought the diamond ring for more than 3 million yuan, in the eyes of outsiders, it is vindictiveness and stupidity, and because of his vindictiveness with Li Dong, it is very likely that he will be on TV when the time comes. If you are cut, at most you will report your name, which is not worth the loss.
The price of 8 million has almost reached Li Dong's bottom line. He exhaled lightly, and Li Dong said again: "8.8 million."
Regardless of whether he can take the painting or not, it's worth it tonight.
On the one hand, it is for show, and on the other hand, it is also for publicity. Li Dong has done both.
Even if Xu Shengzhe wins it in the end, the effect is not bad.
Xu Shengzhe loosened his tie, turned his head and smiled at Li Dong: "I paid 9.8 million, Mr. Li, it's all over, if you pay 10 million, I will surrender. After breaking the 10 million mark, tonight we will The auction should be considered a good talk."
9.99 million and 10 million are two concepts. Once the price of this painting exceeds 10 million tonight, it may cause a sensation not only in Jiangbei's media newspapers but also in the whole country tomorrow.
In 2006, 10 million can do too many things.
Don't look at so many celebrities tonight, there are probably less than 50 with a net worth of more than 10 million.
A worthless painting, more than their entire net worth, made everyone on the field feel bad.
But everyone is also looking forward to it, wanting to see if Li Dong will bid tens of millions?
The host was also very excited and said: "Next, we will wait for Mr. Li's decision! Will Mr. Li raise his sign?"
The leader of the civil affairs department who had been watching from the side suddenly took the microphone and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, 8.8 million is paid out. Mr. Xu is now in your army, why do you care about spending an extra one million?"
Li Dong thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Since everyone is looking forward to it so much, then I will pay 10 million. Mr. Xu, please don't refuse."
Xu Shengzhe laughed and put down the sign directly.
Xu Shengzhe gave up, and there was warm applause from the field.
The host kept shouting: "10 million! Mr. Li bid 10 million, thank you Mr. Li, thank you Yuanfang! Today's scene let us see Yuanfang's commitment and sense of responsibility. I have decided to buy things in the future. I'm going to Yuanfang Supermarket, Mr. Li, don't forget to give me a discount."
Li Dong laughed and said: "No discount! If Mr. Chen is willing to go shopping in a distant place, I will give you free. This is a mobile advertisement, and I will make a lot of money."
The host who can host the party today is naturally not an unknown person. This male host is very famous in Jiangbei.
Not to mention the first brother in the host world, at least the top three are no problem.
They tried their best to help Yuanfang advertise, so it would be no problem for Li Dong to take the stage.
The host on the stage burst into laughter, congratulated Li Dong a few more words, and then turned back to the topic.
...
The auction ended, and there was a short intermission.
Li Dong moved his body a bit, Xu Shengzhe came over, and said with a low laugh: "Li Dong, tonight you guys from afar are showing off."
Li Dong said with a smile: "You are not bad for each other. I spent real money anyway, but you are an empty-handed wolf. Do you think you should give me some labor fees?"
Xu Shengzhe laughed immediately, and said after a while: "How do you prepare for the donation later?"
"Secret." Li Dong smiled.
"Well, I won't ask any more. But you can take it easy, it's almost 10 million tonight, don't really empty out your family for the sake of fame, then there will be no money in the distance... No, you will later Spend more, if you have no money, tell me, I am not short of money, how about we join hands to build Yuanfang into a business empire?"
Xu Shengzhe made a joke, seeing that Li Dong didn't answer, he shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that you are really going to make a splash. It's not your style to be so high-profile."
"To be happy in life is to be happy to the fullest." Li Dongshen replied on the ground.
Xu Shengzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he stood up and said, "Forget it, I won't steal your limelight. I'm not as bold as you. I spend too much money, and the old man can take my skin off when I go back."
The two chatted a few more words, and Xu Shengzhe returned to his seat.
As soon as Li Dong rested, Hu Xiaorui, who was on the eighth table next to him, groped over.
Li Dong glanced at Hu Ming, Hu Ming was staring at Hu Xiaorui's back, seeing Li Dong looking over, he showed a helpless smile to Li Dong.
Li Dong was a little funny, staring at Hu Xiaorui and said: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"
Hu Xiaorui winked at Li Dong and said, "Li Dong, what can I do for you?"
"What's up?"
"Let's go up to donate later, shall we go up together?"
Li Dong asked in surprise, "Why?"
Hu Xiaorui looked at Li Dong with an expression that didn't understand, pouted her lips and muttered: "You know that the party will be on TV, right? You said that if I donate 10,000 yuan, I will definitely not be seen at the party later on. Other cameramen will Don't shoot me, but it will be different if I go up with you.
You are in the limelight tonight, and I will definitely be on TV with you. At that time, I will let my little sisters watch TV together, they must be so envious. "
Li Dong couldn't laugh or cry, it's so good to be on TV?
Hu Xiaorui is also a wealthy lady, if she really wants to be on TV, she can just spend some money, why bother.
But Li Dong didn't say much, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go together later."
Hu Xiaorui immediately smiled and said, "Good buddy, I knew you would agree. By the way, when the party is over, don't forget what we said before."
Li Dong frowned, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Smash the car?"
"That's right, the one surnamed Qi robbed you just now, wouldn't we lose face if we didn't come back with revenge?" Hu Xiaorui said naturally.
Li Dong smiled helplessly, paused and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Just as Hu Xiaorui was about to speak, the host came on stage, and the second phase of donations began.
...
"Sun Yingying, a personal donation of 200,000!"
"Yang Si, personally donate 200,000!"
"Hong Liang, personally donate 300,000 yuan, and donate 500,000 yuan on behalf of Zhenghong Media."
...
"Feihong Group, donate 1 million!"
"Shangyi Media, donate 1 million!"
...
"Guanghe Group, donate 1.2 million."
"Longhua Group, donate 5 million."
"Jiangbei Nonferrous Metals, donate 10 million."
"Jiangbei Energy, donate 10 million."
...
"Ms. Hu Xiaorui personally donated 10,000 yuan."
When the host read Hu Xiaorui's name, Hu Ming, who had just stepped off the stage, couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.
Sure enough, my daughter messed up once. All the celebrities who came here today donated 10,000 yuan? At least it starts at 50,000, but if you mess around, you can mess around. At least your daughter is willing to do good deeds, which is better than going out to mess around every day.
But when the host read far away, not only Hu Ming, but also other people were attracted attention.
"Yuanfang Company, Mr. Li personally donated 5 million, and the company donated 8 million. In addition, Yuanfang Company will raise 5 million supplies to send to the disaster area. Let us applaud Mr. Li for his kind deed!"
"Crack, clap!"
There was a burst of warm applause.
Everyone couldn't help talking, Yuan Fang really got a big limelight tonight.
Back and forth, Li Dong spent almost 30 million!
Even nonferrous metals and energy groups, these two giants only donated 10 million yuan, Yuanfang is far behind them, but who would have expected Li Dong to be so generous.
Everyone didn't understand. If you want to show off the limelight, the previous 10 million auctioned paintings are enough.
Now that he has spent nearly 20 million in funds, is Li Dong crazy?
Not to mention that they didn't understand what Li Dong was thinking, even Xu Shengzhe didn't understand. Before, he thought that Li Dong might donate more than him, but he didn't expect so much.
The total amount is 30 million. This is not a business, but a real money given away.
Although there is no money now, the money from the charity party, unless Li Dong doesn't want to mess around in the future, otherwise he can't afford the money.
If you really want to renege on your debt, Yuan Fang's reputation will be completely stink.
Everyone discussed in low voices, some said Li Dong was a showman, and some said he was stupid. Of course, there are also people who admire Li Dong and feel that he is generous enough. Whether this kind of person is really kind or fake, at least on the surface, he is a good partner for cooperation.
No matter what others think, Li Dong has always been at ease.
In fact, Li Dong's heart ached right now, if Shen Qian hadn't said to surprise him, Li Dong wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
Thirty million yuan, so much money was spent like this.
Li Dong asked Shen Qian once before, asking her how much she should spend, but Shen Qian told him that as a base of 30 to 50 million, the more the better.
Anyway, it must not be less than others, and don’t feel bad about spending it, it will be made up sooner or later.
Although Li Dong always felt that Shen Qian was not reliable, he could only choose to trust her once at this juncture, after all, Shen Qian would not lie to him about major matters.
If he was really going to be deceived, Li Dong thought he was doing good deeds, not to mention doing good deeds in the first place.
Now being stared at by everyone, Li Dong could only remain calm.
Shen Qian didn't come tonight, and she didn't know what the hell she was doing.
Li Dong had some thoughts in his heart, but he was not sure, so he could only pray that Shen Qian would not dig a hole for him. (To be continued.)
