Chapter 762 (1/2)
The auction is the last part of the charity party, and the proceeds from the auction will be used to help orphans and civilians in war-torn areas. In addition to Julian Schnabel's pearl from the Pacific Ocean, there are many things Jiang Chen is very interested in at the auction. If the price is not too unreasonable, he plans to auction some works of art and hang them at home.
Natasha make complaints about nouveau riche, but he doesn't think that's damaging him. But since he has the chance, he can buy several pieces of art to go back to the front. Of course, in addition to those works of art, it is said that some of the wealthy people present will also sell some of their collections of gadgets. The organizers didn't disclose what these collections were, which was quite a gimmick.
He didn't exchange greetings with the organizer for a long time, and Mr. jialewei had other guests to greet, so Jiang Chen took the initiative to end the topic.
When he and Xia Shiyu, who was holding his hand, walked into the meeting hall, the party had already begun.
The magnificent hall, with elegant and gorgeous decoration, is surrounded by transparent graphene plates. Against the blue sea and blue light outside, it adds a few mysterious cool colors to the venue.
The waiter carrying the champagne shuttles between the long table and the crowd, delivering wine and towels to the guests. This undersea restaurant is one of the famous scenic spots in Penglai City. Whether it's decoration or service, or the delicious food on the table, it's built according to Michelin's three star level, that is, ”it's worth making a special trip” to visit.
in the party venue, Jiang Chen saw a lot of acquaintances, and many strangers also said hello to him.
What surprised him most was that he saw Carmen Rothschild here. This guy quietly came to Penglai to attend the charity party, and didn't say hello to him in advance.
When he came up to meet Jiang, he shook his eyes and made a big smile.
”We meet again, my old friend.”
”Ha ha, long time no see.” Jiang Chen released his hand with a smile, ”this is my female companion, Miss Xia Shiyu.”
”Hello, Mr. Rothschild.” Xia Shiyu said with a smile.
”It's a great honor to meet you, beautiful and wise Ms. Xia. Your partner is really an enviable guy.” Carmen had a very gracious joke.
Xia Shiyu politely pursed her lips and smile, but it could be seen that she still loved to hear such compliments.
Jiang Chen also followed with a smile and then said.
”Well, my old friend, have you solved all your troubles”
from the daily international news, the situation in Europe is becoming more and more unstable. Last year, the German new choice party came to power, and the political arena in Europe began to move to the right. Especially at the end of the year, several consortia funded the construction of refugee camps in the forest on the border of Norway and Sweden, which completely ignited the social contradictions between the cult and the mainstream society, as well as the contradiction between the Virgin Mary and the normal people.
”The trouble is never over.” Carmen skillfully took a piece of champagne from the waiter's tray, made a cupping gesture to Jiang Chen, shrugged his shoulders and said, ”it's like the champagne at the party.”
”Is there any trouble that the Rothschild family can't solve in this world?” Jiang Chen laughs and clinks a glass of champagne with him.
”Of course. For example, money can't solve the right problems.” With that, Carmen put the empty glass aside with a smile. ”I recommend you pay attention to the auction later. There are many good things on it.”
”For example”
in the face of Jiang Chen's question, Carmen just smiles mysteriously and doesn't answer, and then he leaves for the time being.
Carmen's fake mysterious smile makes Jiang Chen's heart itch with curiosity. However, since the auction is about to start, he has not made any further inquiries and has carried on the sale of Carmen.
Although the party was held in the name of charity, there was no sign of charity at the party. In such an upper class society, the common ”hobby” of charity is to give these rich and famous people a reason to get together, to meet their social needs at parties, and to meet business partners.
Of course, it does not rule out that some people really want to do something for those poor people.
Walking in the venue of the party, feeling the temperature from his arms is no longer so rigid, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
”It's beautiful.”
