Chapter 553 A Sky-high Price Hair

Presided over by Ye Qing, the financial summit officially began.

But Qin Haodong didn’t care about the contents of the financial summit. These were the things that Lin Momo needed to pay attention to. He sipped the red wine and occasionally talked with Zhou Xinzhu.

More than an hour later, Ye Qing spoke on the stage, “Let’s go to the last part of today’s reception. The charity auction.”

Qin Haodong had seen a lot of auctions, but he didn’t expect this here. He asked Zhou Xinzhu, “Why is there an auction in today’s reception?”

“Yes, didn’t you know in advance?” said Zhou Xinzhu, “Charity auction is an agenda of today’s reception. All the members who attend the meeting know and have prepared for the auction beforehand. All the money collected in the auction will be donated to out-of-school children in poor areas of China.”

Qin Haodong replied, “Well, President Ye didn’t tell us.”

He thought that Ye Qing must have forgotten to mention it last night.

Lin Momo anxiously said, “What should we do? If we can’t take out an auction item when it’s our turn, it will be very embarrassing.”

“Don’t worry for now. Let’s wait and see,” Qin Haodong said.

He wasn’t worried about the auction. If he had no other choice, he would just take out an elixir from the storage ring to auction. He believed that as long as he took out the elixir, Maldini Jr. would buy it without hesitation.

The auction officially started. While tasting the red wine, everyone turned their eyes to the stage for the auction.

Although this was only a common charity auction for the upper class, Haodong Group prepared with high standards. On the stage was the chief auctioneer from a famous auction house.

Next to him was a very beautiful emcee. The two worked together to preside over the auction.

“Today’s first auction item, provided by Mr. Sun Qian. It’s a pipe that Mr. Sun’s grandfather once used.”

After the emcee announced it, a guiding lady immediately passed a tray to the auctioneer. The auctioneer picked up the pipe and said, “This is not an ordinary pipe. It is made of sepiolite and produced in the valley of Italy. Now this kind of technology has been basically lost.

“What’s more, it’s something that Mr. Sun once used. The memorial significance is greater than the value of the pipe itself… ”

After some introductions, the bidding officially started. There wasn’t much difference from the traditional bidding. The starting price was only one yuan.

Generally speaking, there were two meanings to this kind of a charity auction between the rich. First, the rich showed off their contributions to charity, so their auction items were always of a high value.

The second was the mutual support among the rich. The higher the bidding was, the more glorious it would be. On the contrary, if a person took out a lot to auction but no one made a bid, even if he were to spend money to buy it back, his face would be lost.

The Sun family was the top family in Shanghai and had an extensive social network in recent years. So, when Sun Qian’s pipe was taken out, someone immediately made a bid.

“100,000… ”

“120,000… ”

“150,000… ”

After several bids, the pipe was finally sold for 200,000 yuan.

The winning bid exceeded the value of the pipe, which made Sun Qian feel very honored. He stood up and bowed to thank the people.

“200,000 yuan. Congratulations to Mr. Sun. You have given your love to the children in the poor areas.”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

After a few polite remarks from the emcee, the auction continued.

After that more than a dozen of auction items were sold in succession, with a maximum price of three million yuan.

In order to show the welfare nature of this auction, there was no fixed order for each item. The emcee randomly selected the number from the invitation letters. The members who were selected would take out their auction item.

Next came Zheng Hongliang’s turn. He gave a jade bracelet that he had already prepared to the guiding lady.

When the auctioneer got the jade bracelet, his expression changed slightly as he asked, “Mr. Zheng, if I am right, is this a jade bracelet made of lanolin?”

“That’s right,” replied Zheng Hongliang, with a smug look on his face. “This is a lanolin jade bracelet that I bought when I went to Dongjiang province a few years ago. It has been appraised as a superior lanolin jade bracelet.”

The auctioneer said, “Mr. Zheng is a real philanthropist, giving up a treasure for the sake of charity. I appreciate your contributions to the children. Let’s start the bidding.”

All the people present were rich people with tens of billions of yuan in assets. They could see the value of this jade bracelet. The market price would be more than one million yuan.

So when the bid started, the first bidder directly called out a price of one million yuan, and then bidding continued one after another.

“1.1 million… ”

“1.5 million… ”

“2 million… ”

It could be seen that Zheng Hongliang’s influence in the circle was still great. Finally, the jade bracelet was sold for five million yuan, becoming the most expensive item so far.

“Thank you everyone for your support.”

Zheng Hongliang stood up and made a bow. He was full of contentment. The price, on one hand, showed that he was very generous, on the other hand, it also proved that he had a high position in this circle. People were willing to support him.

The auction continued. Maybe God wanted to joke around because the next one was Qin Haodong.
