Chapter 668: Auction starts (2/2)
Today, Huanhuan still has a summer class, so Tian Huixin went to class with Huanhuan, and both Ma Xiong and Ma Zhiming will participate in the auction.
Xia Ruofei came to the Grand Ballroom on the third floor of the hotel with a special elevator with Ma Zhiming.
Xia Ruofei found that the entire banquet hall has been re-arranged. The logos of Hengfeng Auction House and Taoyuan Company can be seen everywhere except for the posters around the venue, as well as the number plates for everyone, including the sticky notes and paper cups used in the venue. Above the items, the logos of Taoyuan Company and Hengfeng Auction House are printed.
On the back of the center stage is a huge inkjet poster with the same content as the banner content of the auction house's website. The visual center position is also the picture of the best abalone. Of course, the prominent position on the poster is also printed with the company logo. .
There are huge projection screens on both sides of the stage, and the carefully edited promo is being played on the same side. This promo is also widely circulated on the Internet recently.
There are two check-in places at the entrance of the venue, one is the media sign-in office and the other is the guest sign-in place.
Xia Ruofei noticed that some media reporters had already arrived at the venue. After signing in, they would get a paper bag with a gift and a lottery ticket. After the guest signed in, they would also receive a lottery ticket.
Xia Ruofei went to the media signing office to look at it. The gift bag in the paper bag was a very happy umbrella, a pair of sunglasses, a box of Tieguanyin tea, a signature pen and a small backpack.
All of these small gifts are printed with the logo of Taoyuan Company. Many reporters can put them directly into the small backpack after they get the gift. These reporters walk around the venue, and the logo of Taoyuan Company is printed on them. On the back of the backpack, the appearance rate is quite high.
Xia Ruofei knew that most of these were the ideas that Feng Wei had come up with, and his face could not help but reveal a smile.
The auction has not yet begun. The small details of this place have already made Xia Ruofei feel a lot more comfortable. The team of Feng Wei and Hengfeng Auction House really used a lot of thoughts.
Feng Wei was inspecting at the venue. After seeing Xia Ruofei and Ma Zhiming, she immediately came over.
”Chairman, come!” Feng Xiao looked at the big incubator in the hands of Xia Ruofei and said, ”Give me something!”
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: ”How can such a manual labor let a woman do it? You tell me where to put it?”
Feng Xiaozui smiled and said: ”The chairman came with me!”
Feng Wei led Xia Ruofei to the center stage. Xia Ruofei noticed that two vertical freezers had been placed on the stage. It was similar to the freezer that sold cold drinks in the store. It used transparent glass doors, but it was carried out. Transformation.
Feng Wei asked Xia Ruofei to reach or exceed the standard of abalone. The twenty-one abalones were placed in the freezer from top to bottom, while the slightly lesser abalones were placed in another freezer. in.
Then Feng Wei pressed a switch on the side of the freezer. A spotlight installed in the freezer suddenly lit up, and the light just projected onto each abalone. It seemed that the file went up a lot.
The four black suits were responsible for guarding the two freezers. The four men were bulging at the waist, apparently carrying weapons. It is obvious that Hengfeng is also attaching great importance to the safety of the lot.
After the abalones that were about to be auctioned were put in place, Ma Zhiming led Xia Ruofei to the VIP area of the audience, and Feng Wei continued to dispatch the command in the field.
There are still forty or fifty minutes from the start of the auction, and Ma Xiong also came to the auction venue.
Everyone is naturally a chill.
The VIPs in the VIP area were given the corresponding names. Originally, Ma Xiong wanted to let Xia Ruofei sit in the most right position and be adjacent to him. However, Xia Ruofei came over this time and wanted to keep a low profile. Naturally, the rumors declined.
So his seat was arranged next to Ma Zhiming, in the middle of the third row, which not only shows Xia Ruofei's identity, but also not too eye-catching.
Otherwise, a young man in his twenties, even if he is on an equal footing with a billionaire like Ma Xiong, will certainly cause all kinds of speculation.
The media reporters present will certainly not let go of such news points. When Xia Ruofei wants to keep a low profile, it is unrealistic.
As the auction time approached, reporters from all walks of life began to enter.
Xia Ruofei paid attention to it. The media that came today are quite a lot.
There are several famous newspapers, magazines, websites and TV stations on Hong Kong Island. It is natural that a reporter has sent reporters to Ma Xiong’s face on Hong Kong Island. He personally greeted him and said that few media did not buy it. Not to mention that the auction itself is full of gimmicks.
In addition to local media on Hong Kong Island, Xia Ruofei also found media reporters from countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, which are mainly Chinese and Chinese.
Most of the people in these countries are Chinese, some official languages are even Chinese, and everyone's living habits are similar to those of Chinese people. The news of the best abalone auction is very high in these countries.
In addition, the mainland media is quite a lot. There are several media outlets in the Southeast Province, especially Sanshan City. There are also media reporters from several coastal provinces who come to interview.
Xia Ruofei even found a CCTV reporter. Of course, this is a reporter from CCTV’s Hong Kong Island reporter station. It is not a special trip from Beijing. And more than half of the reporter’s work is running various venues. Today’s auction It is naturally impossible to have a comprehensive channel or a news channel.
But even then, Xia Ruofei was very surprised.
If the news of the auction can be viewed on CCTV, even if it is on the agricultural channel, the audience is completely incomparable to the provincial and municipal media.
The guests also came to the venue one after another.
Ma Xiong also began to get busy. He continued to greet the guests present and also introduced some guests to Xia Ruofei.
Of course, more guests are still not qualified to talk directly with Ma Xiong. Some people will sing a few words with Ma Zhiming. After all, the entire Hong Kong Island can compete with Ma Xiong.
In addition to responding to these chilling guests, Ma Zhiming will also introduce Xia Ruofei to the people present from time to time.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but secretly amazed Li Chaoren's second son, the gambling king's daughter, and Zheng Dawang's nephew... After a while, Xia Ruofei heard many rich names that he had only seen in television newspapers.
Although not all of these top tycoons have participated, most of them have sent at least some of them to participate in the event, and several business squads have specially flew overseas to Hong Kong Island to participate.
In a short period of time, Xia Ruofei had a very intuitive understanding of Ma Xiong’s influence on Hong Kong Island, and he was increasingly confident in today’s auction.
It was very late at 9:30, and the scene was almost full.
A melodious music sounded.
Feng Wei, wearing a professional suit, took a microphone and walked onto the center stage. She painted a faint makeup with a confident smile on her face, which immediately caught everyone's attention.
Many media reporters immediately picked up long guns and short guns and directed them on the stage.
The flashing lights frequently appeared, and there were many billionaires under the stage. However, Feng Wei did not have any sorrow. She said with a smile: ”Hello everyone! I am Feng Wei, general manager of Taoyuan Company. This is the best one. It is exclusively provided by our Taoyuan company. Welcome VIPs and media friends to participate in this auction!”
