    The first person to come to the table was a female emcee. She spoke a few words in Cantonese that were supposed to be greetings to the guests. Zhuang Rui couldn't understand either, but the person looked familiar. Finally, Lei Lei reminded him that he  Only then did I remember that the female emcee, Ganqing, was the popular celebrity in the mainland back then, but now she is a bit old, her face has wrinkles, and her glamor is gone.

    After Master Wang said a few words, he invited the host of this charity dinner out.

    Sir He was about seventy years old and still in good health. He walked to the table and first welcomed the guests who participated in the charity auction. He also thanked Commander Huang and Director Wang for coming. Those whose names were mentioned  Everyone stood up and nodded to the audience.

    Although Sir He spoke very slowly, Zhuang Rui relied on the Cantonese he learned in the video studio in the 1990s. He obviously didn't have enough vocabulary. He listened for a long time but still didn't understand a word. All of them were from Qin Xuanbing.  It was not only him who helped him translate, but there were also people beside Director Wang and Commander Huang, who were always smiling.

    Fortunately, Hong Kong people are very pragmatic. After Sir Ho said a few words, he announced that the charity auction had officially begun.

    Although it is just an auction held by a wealthy businessman, it is also very formal. The chief auctioneer of a well-known formal auction house is invited. Now the emcee is introducing the auctioneer's situation to the people in the venue. This auction  It was also done by the two of them together.

    "The auction of the first lot begins now. This lot is provided by Sir He. It is a pipe once used by Sir He's grandfather, Mr. He Dong. This is made of seafoam produced in the Varisi Valley of Italy.  Made of stone, this craft has been lost now.

    "The most important thing is that this pipe also expresses Sir He's indifference to his grandfather. The commemorative significance is even greater than the value of the pipe itself"

    Zhuang Rui breathed a sigh of relief because the auctioneer spoke Mandarin. It was better to talk in English than in Cantonese. It was really too painful for the ears.

    "Okay, let's start the auction now. According to Sir He's wishes, the starting price of all the auction items tonight is one yuan. Friends, please bid enthusiastically. You know, charity is for everyone and everyone for me!  "

    After Wang Mingxing gave an explanation in Cantonese, the auctioneer announced the start of the auction. Generally, in charity auctions like this, the first lot is provided by the owner, which can be regarded as an introduction.

    "I will pay 50,000 yuan to buy Sir He's pipe"

    Naturally, you will not be asked to appraise the items in the charity auction. As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately started shouting out the price, and the price was not low, it went up fivefold from the starting price.  Ten thousand times, this made Zhuang Rui quite speechless. Originally, he was thinking of offering a price, but now it has been directly raised to 50,000 yuan, which is a bit not worth it.

    " Others can't go up to identify it, but it doesn't mean that Zhuang Rui can't check the pipe. The table where the pipe is placed is only about ten steps away from him. Although it can't be seen accurately with the naked eye, it is different after using spiritual energy.

    The meerschaum used in this pipe has a very fine and uniform texture, and the pot is engraved with a relief, which is an animal pattern of a dolphin. It may be due to the pores of the meerschaum that the surface of this pipe also has  There is a uniform layer of smoke oil, which should have seeped out from the pipe when it was used in the early years. It is like a paste, and the color is very consistent.

    Moreover, there is a thin layer of white aura inside the cigarette butt, which means that this pipe can be regarded as an antique. Zhuang Rui has worked in a pawn shop and knows that this world-class pipe is itself  The value is very high and can be called a luxury product, so I just thought about buying it.

    "I will pay 100,000 yuan"

    This kind of auction does not seem to require the auctioneer to control the atmosphere of the scene. Before he could speak, the original price had already doubled again.

    Zhuang Rui was still a little reluctant to give up when he was asked to pay 50,000 yuan, but 100,000 yuan completely gave up the idea of ????making a move. Although not everything can be measured in money, if this pipe is valued in money,  One hundred thousand yuan is already too high.

    "This gentleman is offering 100,000 yuan. Are there any friends who are interested in this pipe? You know, if you donate your love here, maybe an out-of-school child can sit in the classroom. Friends, please come forward."  bid!"

    To say that the name of the chief auctioneer of the famous pawn shop is really not blown out. When it came to 100,000 yuan, the atmosphere was a little quiet, but his few words made the atmosphere in the venue lively again.  , someone immediately shouted ?At the price of 50,000 yuan, they all seemed to have inherited the starting price of the first person, and the price always increased upwards by 50,000 yuan.

    "Two hundred thousand yuan."

    "Two hundred and fifty thousand."

    "I will pay 300,000 yuan."

    People in the venue raised their hands frequently. When the price reached 300,000 yuan, no one made any more bids. This was actually nearly ten times more than the value of the pipe itself. Sir He's suggestion had already created a new situation.  Good start.

    "Okay, three hundred thousand yuan. Congratulations to this gentleman. You have dedicated your love to the children in the Mainland." After waiting for a while, the auctioneer saw that no one bid again, so he auctioned the heavy hammer.  Knocked down.

    ¡°Congratulations Qin Sheng, please come forward to receive the items you photographed.¡±

    The people calling out the price were a group of middle-aged people, and they were all calling out the price in Cantonese. Zhuang Rui didn't know who took the picture of the pipe. It was only when the person stepped forward that Zhuang Rui saw that it was actually his own person.  The future father-in-law Qin Haoran, after handing a cash check of 300,000 yuan to Master Wang, Qin Haoran took away his today's spoils.

    "Our dad still has this hobby? Likes to smoke a pipe?"

    Zhuang Rui turned slightly sideways and asked in Qin Xuanbing's ear. He did not expect that the first person to take action was Qin Haoran.

    "Who is your dad? That's my dad. He rarely smokes. If you don't take a picture here, you will be looked down upon." Although Qin Xuanbing corrected Zhuang Rui's statement, she felt like  It was as sweet as drinking honey water, and his body leaned against Zhuang Rui again.

    ¡°Then don¡¯t I also want to take a photo of something?¡±

    Zhuang Rui didn't expect that there was such a rule. He didn't have money. When he came to Hong Kong, he specifically asked Ouyang Jun to help him apply for a check book that could withdraw cash in Hong Kong. The total amount was 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Take a picture.  There should be nothing wrong with the items, but Zhuang Rui is very tight on money during this period. Five million is almost two-thirds of his net worth.

    Moreover, this kind of auction is equivalent to asking these super rich people to donate money. The things auctioned are all flashy and not worth that much money. However, considering that Hong Kong people can contribute to the out-of-school children in the mainland, Zhuang Rui is ready to wait.  If you just take a photo of something small, you can consider it as a donation to Hong Kong.

    "No need, what dad just did can already represent us. Everyone is here just to show Sir He some face and just go through the motions"

    Qin Xuanbing didn't know what Zhuang Rui was thinking, so she explained to him. In fact, nothing of high price would be auctioned on such an occasion. The people in the venue were all well-known people in Hong Kong Island, and they also often did charity.  , I won¡¯t fight against wealth and anger here.

    Zhuang Rui nodded. Since it doesn't matter whether he takes a picture or not, if there is no good value for money, he won't want to take action. In this kind of situation, if he takes a picture of something, he will definitely get a lot of attention.  What people remember is that Zhuang Rui has not come out of this limelight yet.

    "The second auction item is a platinum-inlaid jade ornament provided by Qin's Jewelry. It was designed by the internationally renowned jewelry designer, Ms. Qin Xuanbing. The jade material used is high-quality jadeite from Gao Bing. The starting price is still one yuan.  , please bid.¡±

    At this time, the auctioneer at the table had already taken out the second lot, but it was Qin Xuanbing's piece of jewelry. When Qin Xuanbing's name was mentioned, Qin Xuanbing also stood up and nodded to everyone around, but her little hand was still holding the dealer's hand.  Rui's hand made many people's eyes fall on Zhuang Rui.

    Zhuang Rui was in trouble at this time. As Qin Xuanbing's man, he would definitely pay for Qin Xuanbing's things, but how much was a question. Zhuang Rui scratched his head.

    "Three hundred thousand!"

    Zhuang Rui hesitated for a moment, but was the first to shout out the price. The market price of this jewelry should be around 200,000, but Zhuang Rui deliberately shouted out 100,000 more.

    When the pipes were auctioned just now, the bidders all spoke in Cantonese and Mandarin. This was the first time today, which attracted everyone to look at Zhuang Rui. After seeing the strange young man, many people began to whisper to each other.  Asked about Zhuang Rui's origin.

    "I will pay half a million."

    A voice came from not far away from Zhuang Rui, but it was a young man who had been following Zheng Hua just now. After calling out the price, the man glanced at Zhuang Rui with the corner of his eye, with a trace of disdain on his face.  Come on.

    "It's Mr. Niu"

    "That's right, it's him"

    "I heard that he pursued Miss Qin before, but was rejected. Now there will be a good show"

    The person calling the price was very familiar to others, and they could see that this young man was targeting Zhuang Rui, so they all started talking in a low voice with a bit of gloating. It was said that Zhuang Rui was held by a beautiful woman today, which made many famous young men in Hong Kong.  They are all a little bit unacceptable.

    "Zhuang Rui, don't pay attention to this man. He is the grandson of the late shipping king. He has shares worth hundreds of millions. Let him take the shares."

    When Qin Xuanbing saw someone targeting Zhuang Rui, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious on her face, fearing that Zhuang Rui and him would get involved, so she quickly introduced the person's origins to Zhuang Rui in a low voice.
