Chapter 926: Chen Jianfei's Guess
No one bid with Kong Liangji again, not because other people couldn't afford the money.
Of the people present, although not all of them can buy a painting with 50 million yuan, it is true that all of them can afford 50 million yuan to buy a painting.
But these people all knew that the richest person in this dinner party was Kong Liangji.
In terms of financial resources, no one can compare with the Kong family.
Even if they kept following the auction, they could only bid higher and higher, and Kong Liangji was the one who won the auction in the end, but they probably offended the Kong family because of the raised price.
No one would do such a stupid thing.
Ruan Kangde stretched out his hand and made a gesture to invite Kong Liangji to come on stage. Immediately, a lady of etiquette in a gorgeous long dress came on stage because of Kong Liangji.
Ruan Kangde smiled and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Kong, for winning this painting. I am also very grateful to Mr. Kong for his support for this charity event. Your generosity will save countless poor children who are sick. I believe that After they recover, they will keep your name in their hearts."
Kong Liangji smiled slightly, and said: "Sir Kant has won the award. If it is generosity, so are you. You can return this painting to Huaxia, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart."
The two exchanged a few words of courtesy, and Ruan Kangde asked Kong Liangji to say a few words.
Kong Liangji has experienced many such occasions, so he is very handy and talks eloquently.
Those present here are far less interested in Kong Liangji's speech than gossip about his physical condition.
The news that the Patriarch of the Kong family was seriously ill was not a secret in this circle, and from time to time, the media took pictures of him sitting in a wheelchair.
People's memory of Kong Liangji has been stuck in the old man with wrinkles, gray hair, age spots on his hands and face, and a little slow in both action and speech.
But now, Kong Liangji, who is talking on the stage and looks hale and hearty, has completely overturned people's memory of him.
Even Shen Lao showed a hint of confusion on his face, as if he was talking to himself, and said: "Kong Lao's physical condition is really unexpected. Not long ago, I heard that he was seriously ill. Come to think of it, it turned out to be a rumor.”
Chen Jianfei's eyes fell on Tang Feng.
He saw Tang Feng was just drinking tea with a calm expression, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
But Chen Jianfei knew in his heart that Kong Liangji's recovery and even showing signs of rejuvenation must be related to Tang Feng.
Before he accompanied Mr. Shen over here, he didn't know that Kong Liangji would come, nor did he expect that the Patriarch of the Kong family, one of the five great families, would really come here to attend the dinner in person.
It is true that Ruan Kangde has quite a reputation in the world, but it is not enough to invite the heads of the five major families. At most, they just made a small gesture when Ruan Kangde arrived in Yanjing.
And so it is.
Except for Kong Liangji, the other four families are like this.
When he met Kong Liangji, Chen Jianfei thought of this problem, and thought that it was impossible for him to make a special trip for Ruan Kangde.
The only explanation is that Kong Liangji was originally in Pingyang, and he just stopped by to attend the dinner.
He believed that Kong Liangji's serious illness was not a rumor.
Kong Liangji was seriously ill, Tang Feng, a Pingyang genius doctor, and Kong Liangji came to Pingyang and recovered in a short period of time. When all these things are connected, it is not difficult to guess the relationship between them.
However, what Chen Jianfei didn't expect before was that Tang Feng now had such connections, even the head of the Kong family in Yanjing became his patient.
While Kong Liangji was speaking, the two women in ancient costumes who showed the painting to everyone had already re-rolled the painting and put it in a beautiful wooden box.
After Kong Liangji finished speaking, Ruan Kangde held the wooden box in both hands and handed it to him.
During the auction, a small climax was set off at the dinner party. Although no one else won the auction, everyone still had an excited look on their faces.
Everyone's interest has not diminished, the atmosphere of the whole dinner party has been mobilized, and everyone will maintain this slightly excited state for the next time.
In this state, a new round of fundraising began, people showed greater enthusiasm, and the numbers on the big screen continued to scroll and increase rapidly.
When the amount raised by a single person approached five million, Lin Mengjia also handed over her donation check to the waiter around her, asking her to donate on her behalf.
Like everyone else, the waiter took the check to the side of the stage and handed it to the foundation staff above. Before the staff received the check, they would openly read the name and amount of the donor to express their gratitude.
But this time, the staff handed the check to Ruan Kangde who stood by and kept expressing his gratitude to the guests.
Ruan Kangde took the check in his hand, just glanced at it, and then showed a surprised expression. With the microphone in his hand, he took two steps forward, cleared his throat, and said: "The check I just received, It is five million yuan of Huaxia coins donated by President Lin of Mengtang Group. President Lin, oh, I prefer to call you Ms. Lin instead of this name. Thank you, Ms. Lin. Thank you for your support for this charity dinner A contribution to the world's children with congenital heart disease."
Lin Mengjia was a little surprised by Ruan Kangde's actions.
Although her donation amount is currently the highest in a single transaction, this amount is obviously not a huge amount of money in the eyes of those present. At least, after Kong Liangji just spent 50 million to buy the painting with a market price of 10 million yuan. After the left and right paintings, a mere five million should not be the amount that would make Ruan Kangde so excited.
But in the face of his thank you by name, Lin Mengjia couldn't ignore it, so he stood up, nodded slightly to Ruan Kangde, and nodded to other people present, and then sat back on his seat.
Tang Feng looked at Lin Mengjia with a gentle smile, and after she sat down, he turned to Ruan Kangde again, but the moment he turned around, his brows frowned slightly.
Ruan Kangde continued: "When I came to Huaxia, I saw that Ms. Lin was beautiful, dignified and generous, with the charm of oriental women, but also had a shrewd and capable mind, and could create a powerful business group like Mengtang. I was thinking, my God , What a magical country this is, how can such an outstanding woman be born, if I can have such a daughter, how lucky I should be."
