C59 (2/2)
The ceremonial lady on the stage unfurled a two meter long scroll. On top of the scroll were four large words, ”Great Love No Frontier”.
The brush edge was vigorous and vigorous, just like a sculpture. The audience immediately broke out into a flurry of discussion.
Tu Guoxiong's Tu Group is one of the top five consortiums in the country. Business spans more than a hundred countries around the world. Tu Guoxiong was a calligrapher himself, but he was different from ordinary calligraphers. He never engravings, writing is just a hobby. It was also a form of pride to be able to collect a genuine painting of Guo Xiong.
The auctioneer's voice rang out again: ”All our starting prices for this auction are one hundred yuan. If you wish to bid, please press the key on your right and confirm.” On the big screen, it would show the bidder getting the higher price. The auction would now begin.
The audience immediately broke into discussions, numbers began to appear on the big screen, the first bid was number 33, the first bid was 100 thousand. This price did not end the auction as numbers kept appearing on the screen. In just a minute, the price had reached 2.2 million. This gave the auction a good start.
In a charity auction like this, the situation was definitely more important than the actual value of the item being auctioned. No one would call out the price to their deaths. To be able to bid 2 million was already an extremely high price.
When the price was shown at 2.35 million, the auctioneer said: 2.35 million, guest number 56 bidding 2.35 million. Does anyone else want to increase the bid? 2.35 million going once, 2.35 million going twice, 2.35 million going thrice, congratulations VIP number 56. With a bang, the auctioneer knocked on the hammer. A round of applause followed.
At the very front of the venue, a dignified and graceful woman stood up and nodded to everyone present. She was Tu Guoxiong's wife.
After the auction ended, Madam Tu exchanged a few words with a woman beside her before turning around and leaving.
Jiang Chu could see clearly that the woman was Tu Hua. Her surname was also Tu, could she be Tu Guoxiong's daughter? Thinking about it, Jiang Chu also forced a smile. Who cares about her, whoever she loved, it had nothing to do with him at all.
After Mrs. Tu left the stage, the host, Cai Xiaoya's voice came again: ”The next item is a landscape painting by Ms. Bai Yumei, a modern artist donated by the distinguished guest, Mr. Huang Zhiyuan, 28. Miss Bai Yumei is one of the most outstanding masters of Chinese painting in the last 50 years.”
The auctioneer slowly introduced the origin of the item. The final number on the big screen was 250 thousand, and it was taken by the VIP No.18.
The auction lasted for half an hour, and the amount of money raised had already reached 5.6 million. On an occasion like this, the goods in front of them would usually be appetizers and would only be shown in the second half of the auction.
At the 38th minute, the auctioneer's excited voice could be heard. The next item would make all the men go crazy, and that was the item provided by the famous movie star, Miss Wang Bing Bing. It was a very, very precious album. The photo album contained pictures of Miss Wang Bing Bing from primary school to university, from the beginning to the end of the movie. It could be said to be a microcosm of the movie's first half. The starting price was one hundred yuan, and the auction had begun.
It had to be said that this celebrity's influence was extraordinary, especially for a superb body like Wang Bing Bing, who was extremely attractive to the stud horses below. Even Wang Bing Bing herself found it exciting to take a bath in the middle of the night and look at the pictures.
The last photo album was taken by Master Chen for 1.3 million, it made Jiang Chu dizzy just by looking at it. Was there really a need to spend so much money to buy this album? There were all sorts of photos online, and there were even pictures of him being taken. This rich person's view of the world was truly different from ordinary people.
What he did not know was that if Gao Hongqi and Li Jingjing were not here, Gao Junqiang would definitely fight with that Young Master Chen. This was not a matter of the photos, but rather, he would be able to brag about it amongst his friends in the future.
What made Gao Junqiang unhappy was that after Young Master Chen obtained the album, he did not forget to throw them a disdainful look. This look immediately exchanged for Gao Junqiang's middle finger.
