Chapter 392 Charity Auction
After a burst of noise, Tang Jinglong pressed his hand, and when everyone calmed down, he took the microphone handed over by the service staff and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. The target of our gathering today is the three people in Hongtan City. Six Hope Primary Schools will be built in each of the three impoverished counties. Roads will be built to connect every village in the nine impoverished townships under these three impoverished counties. Agricultural funds will be set up in each to provide assistance to farmers who want to get rich. Let nearly 100,000 people in these three impoverished counties be lifted out of poverty within two years and gradually embark on the road to prosperity!"
After hearing Tang Jinglong's words, everyone applauded and immediately called for donations.
"I'll donate one million!"
"You have the nerve to shout out one million, but even one million is not enough for you to buy a car. I will donate five million, which is exactly the price of my car!"
"Haha, you are so awesome, I will donate 8 million!"
"I donate..."
…
They all talked about donations of millions and millions, whether they were true or false, and the atmosphere was aroused.
Xu Yang asked: "Old Jiang, how much do you want to donate?"
Jiang Yuhang said: "I'll donate five million. I can't live in poverty anymore. What about you?"
It's a lot to donate five million.
Xu Yang said: "We came together, so let's donate five million with you."
Xu Yang thought it didn't matter, a few million or ten million would be fine.
Jiang Yuhang donated five million, so Xu Yang simply donated the same amount as Jiang Yuhang, so as not to make Jiang Yuhang look bad.
Jiang Yuhang's eyes flickered: "Xu Yang, the five million I mentioned is a real donation. Don't look at their cheers, but actually donating one-tenth of what they shout for is pretty good."
Xu Yang was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"
He had never been to such an occasion and really didn't know about such a thing.
Jiang Yuhang nodded and said: "Yes, that's what it is. Promoting can only be regarded as creating an atmosphere, because reporters are invited to report it. You can't just donate a few hundred thousand. It's so shabby, just If you say you donate hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid others will laugh at you if it's reported, but when it comes to actually disbursing money, you'll have to give it a discount. Then we'll look at how much everyone has donated, and we'll set a reasonable discount."
"I see." Xu Yang suddenly realized, and immediately asked, "Then why did you say you would donate five million, a real donation?"
Jiang Yuhang smiled bitterly and said: "I am the second generation of the rich, not a child of aristocratic family. If I spend more money, they will not say anything. If I am like them and actually pay hundreds of thousands, then they will definitely have objections and say They may be hostile to me. In fact, at every charity gathering, the rich second generation is the one who donates the most, and children from aristocratic families don’t donate much.”
Xu Yang couldn't help but sigh: "These children from aristocratic families are really self-righteous and superior."
Jiang Yuhang said: "It can be said that most children from aristocratic families have this kind of mentality. Even if they can communicate with you peacefully and say they treat you as a friend, they still have a sense of superiority in their hearts. Only a few people can truly Treat everyone equally."
Xu Yang frowned and said, "Then what kind of person do you think Fang Bingqing is?"
If Fang Bingqing looks down on people who are not children of aristocratic families, then it may not be so easy to make friends with him and visit Mr. Fang through Fang Bingqing.
Jiang Yuhang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. I'm not familiar with her. I only met her once last year."
Xu Yang looked at Tang Jinglong on the stage and asked, "What kind of person do you think Tang Jinglong is?"
Jiang Yuhang immediately said: "Tang Jinglong is definitely a person who treats everyone equally!"
Xu Yang said: "How can you be so sure?"
Jiang Yuhang said: "Tang Jinglong's behavior has always been like this. He talked to me before and it was the same, and he gave me the same feeling!"
"Oh." Xu Yang nodded, said nothing more, and looked towards the stage.
At this time, there happened to be a person who was very active in the crowd and said that he wanted to donate 10 million, and no one else could stop him.
Seeing this person, Xu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and his face became a little gloomy.
However, Jiang Yuhang did not notice this.
Tang Jinglong on the stage couldn't help laughing when he saw how enthusiastic everyone was. He pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I have fully felt everyone's heart to help people in poor counties, but today I will not let everyone donate in vain. We Have a charity auction!”
At charity gatherings in the past, everyone just shouted for donations.
Charity auctions have become a popular method in recent years.
Everyone present had heard of it and immediately became interested.
Fang Bingqing stood up, took a painting from a staff member who stood up beside him, and introduced it.
"This is the words of a painter in a suburban county of the province. This painter is not a famous painter, but he is a philanthropist."
"In his lifetime, he donated most of the money he earned from painting to impoverished mountainous areas in the province. In some places, Hope Primary Schools were built because of his donations."
"He is now over seventy years old. He heard that we held a charity party to donate money to impoverished mountainous areas, so he spent a lot of energy and painted fifty paintings to donate."
"To be honest, this painting is not as valuable as those calligraphy and painting masters, but it represents an old man's charity and also contains his hard work."
"It's very memorable for everyone to take pictures of it."
After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but nod.
When conducting a charity auction, naturally you cannot look at the value of the painting. If you look at the value of the painting, then go to a regular auction house.
Charity auctions are all about commemoration. Taking these paintings back, every time you see them, you can remember that you have made a donation, done a good deed, and satisfied your vanity. It is also very good.
Tang Jinglong was the first to speak: "Let me take a picture of this first painting. I'll pay 100 million."
Spending RMB 100 million on a painting by a non-famous artist is not an exaggeration.
I'm afraid there aren't many genuine auctions that can fetch so many.
But the children of aristocratic families and the rich second generation present all knew what was going on.
Shouting 100 million is just to put money on your face.
At that time, the maximum donation is one million.
This is not a regular auction, but a charity auction. Tang Jinglong shouted 100 million and donated 1 million, which is already very good.
You can't accuse him of donating less.
Of course, this is not random shouting.
Tang Jinglong shouted for 100 million, and finally donated 1 million, which was 1% of the donation.
When you shout, you have to take it easy and don't shout randomly.
If you say one billion, you have to donate 10 million.
This is an unspoken rule and no one can break it.
If you dare to destroy it, you will definitely not end well.
Fang Bingqing was not stupid, she also knew these things. Naturally, she knew that Tang Jinglong could not really donate 100 million.
She said: "Then this first painting belongs to Mr. Tang."
Then, she took out another painting and introduced it.
"I'll pay 50 million!" someone immediately shouted.
No one bids.
This is also an unspoken rule.
People shouted out this price because they wanted to donate so much.
If you bid, it is equivalent to forcing a donation, which will make people unhappy.
This is different from the authentic antiques that are lined up at some charity auctions.
Those are collectible antiques and have room for appreciation.
The paintings auctioned here only have commemorative significance.
Just spend a little money to satisfy your vanity, don't spend too much.
