Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 581 Auction

In the noisy banquet hall, the auctioneer from a well-known auction house was waving his white-gloved hands.

At this moment, he is like a conductor, controlling the rhythm of the field.

From time to time in the banquet hall, people put up placards for quotations, and the beautiful auctioneer with excellent temperament gave each guest who made a quotation a sweet smile.

As the price continues to rise~ a blue and white official kiln vase that is said to have come from the period of Emperor Kangxi in the previous dynasty. It was sold at a high price of 680 million Hong Kong dollars.

Sitting in the corner of the banquet hall, Chen Li didn't pay attention to matters related to the auction, but was more concerned about whether Mu Xiaoxi was full.

He had previously promised Mu Xiaoxi that he would bring her to eat delicious food, but in fact, this dinner auction~ obviously paid more attention to the word auction.

To put it bluntly, no one who comes here is here to eat.

Even if it was Chen Li, he didn't come here to eat, but in his perception, the boss Liu held such a dinner auction, no matter how the dinner was held, it couldn't be too bad.

But in fact~ how can I say it!In terms of the status of the boss Liu~ the specification of this dinner auction is indeed not low.

This is also the reason why Chen Li found out that there was no security check at the scene before, because this auction. Without an invitation, there is no way to get in.

And these invitations~ were all sent out by the boss Liu himself, and all the people who came were famous people. You asked those security guards to do the security check for the richest man Li?

Stop bullshitting!
These people at the scene~ are all local rich and well-known entertainers on Hong Kong Island.

As far as Chen Li could see, he could see some familiar faces from time to time, but compared to these entertainers Chen Li was more familiar with, there were more local wealthy people in Hong Kong City.

There may also be wealthy people from the mainland, but Chen Li doesn't know them at all.

Not to mention the rich people in the mainland, Chen Li doesn't know even those rich people in the Hong Kong city!

Those rich people at the scene~Chen Li knew three people in total, one was the richest man Li~the other was the big brother Liu, and the other was naturally the son of the richest man, Little Superman.

The reason why Chen Li knew these three people was naturally because these three people often appeared on the Internet in his previous life.

Needless to say, Li's richest man, even the official media has been interviewed countless times.

As for Big Brother Liu and Little Superman, these two, Chen Li, are often seen on the entertainment gossip board.

Of course~ Chen Li also had some familiar faces among the wealthy people at the scene, but he was not sure who they were, but he was sure that he must have seen photos or videos of them somewhere before.

In fact, in such an occasion, as a normal businessman, Chen Li should definitely look for people to connect with each other, or at least exchange business cards with each other~ get acquainted or something.

After all, this dinner auction~ Although it is an auction in name, it is actually a social venue.

Just like when the richest man Li came in, I don’t know how many people went to him to check in. This is actually a serious "communication"!
With Chen Li's current development status~ at this time, he should take the initiative to make an effort to broaden his circle of contacts.

However. He didn't do anything!
In fact, before entering the banquet hall, Chen Li still had some illusions in his heart.

Because he was invited by the boss Liu, Chen Li vaguely felt that the boss Liu was optimistic about him and wanted to give him a hand, right?

After all, as soon as we met, the boss Liu invited himself to participate in this auction. Isn't this the scene in the novel when you meet a "noble man"?

According to the traditional plot of the novel, at this dinner party, Chen Li may encounter some pretentious things, and then he can deal with them freely~ After a perfect counterattack~ he will gain the favor of all the bosses, and finally the sky will rise!
Don't look at such a plot, it's a bit old-fashioned, but before entering this banquet hall, Chen Li really had such a guess.

After all, in Chen Li's view, Big Boss Liu's invitation to participate in this auction was actually an opportunity for him to get acquainted with wealthy local businessmen in Hong Kong City.

If it's a good communicator~ Maybe he can use this opportunity to make a fortune.

But when Chen Li was stepping into the banquet hall, he suddenly understood.

The plot in the novel~ is always just a fiction, but in reality~ it cannot be said that such a thing does not exist, but the probability of it happening is absolutely very small.

Because ~ for a person like Big Brother Liu, being able to meet Chen Li ~ have a meal, and then give him an invitation to participate in the auction. It is estimated that his curiosity about Chen Li has reached its peak.

Yes ~ Curiosity!
Curious about the kind of person behind Mu Xiaoqing's boss, he invited Chen Li to dinner.

Maybe it was Chen Li who chatted with him at the time, or maybe it was because Chen Li was young and promising, or maybe the other party felt that Mu Xiaoqing's behavior of shorting Nasdaq was a way for him to enter Nasdaq. Inspiration, so he gave Chen Li an invitation to enter the auction.

But that's all!
After Chen Li entered the banquet hall~ Big Brother Liu didn't pay much attention to him. After all, in such an occasion, Chen Li was really not worth mentioning.

Even the few greetings when we met were probably just out of politeness.

And in the venue~ Chen Li looked even more inconspicuous. So far, only one wealthy female businessman came to chat with Chen Li.

What made Chen Li speechless was that the reason why this wealthy female businessman came to chat with him was that she thought Chen Li was an artist that an entertainment company planned to launch.

Afterwards~ after knowing that Chen Li was a small businessman from the mainland, the other party looked at Chen Li's height and left politely.

Yes~ Although Chen Li saw a bit of disdain in the other party's eyes, the other party's superficial skills are actually very good.

Think about it carefully~ In fact, this kind of situation is what will really happen in reality.

Like those silly supporting characters who always like to make trouble on TV. On the contrary, they are rare in reality.

After all~ How many fools are there who can enter this banquet hall?
Perhaps among those people in the entertainment industry~ there will be some not-so-smart guys, but this group of people can't even count as a supporting role in tonight's occasion, and they don't dare to do anything here with their guts Come.

And to be honest~ this group of people in the entertainment industry would never come to find Chen Li, because Chen Li's face was too unfamiliar.

Those who are famous and famous in Hong Kong City are the targets of this auction.

So ~ this auction has been going on until now, Chen Li is in this corner of the banquet hall ~ very leisurely.

That's right~ When Chen Li didn't choose to socialize with those big shots, his heart seemed incomparably calm. A ghost.

Alright~ Chen Li had to admit that although his face looked extremely calm, he still felt a little awkward in his heart.

At this moment, Chen Li has been lingering on a line of lyrics in his heart.

"That year eighteen ~ the alma mater dance ~ standing like a minion!"

To be honest~ what this lyric describes is not the same as what Chen Li is going through at the moment, after all Chen Li is already 21 this year~ it's not a prom right now~ even he is sitting well.

But~ the artistic conception expressed in this lyric is very similar to Chen Li's inner feeling at the moment.

There is also the next line of the lyrics, "I swear with tears in my eyes at that time ~ everyone must see me!", also floats in Chen Li's heart from time to time.

But then ~ Chen Li deleted this line of lyrics again, because he felt that no one cares about it. It's not a bad thing.

But when he deleted the lyrics~ the lyrics popped up again in his heart.

As for the reason~ Bah, what is the reason for this kind of thing!
To put it bluntly, no one is really willing to accept being ignored by others, at least Chen Li is not.

Yes~ Chen Li also felt in his heart, in fact, it's okay if no one cares about it, anyway, one of these people present in the future counts as one, even the richest man in Asia, he Chen Li can compete with one of them.

But I don't know why~ Chen Li still feels a little unwilling in his heart.

Really want to say~ This is Chen Li's Qi-nourishing Kung Fu is not good enough, but why should he practice such Qi-nourishing Kung Fu?
Even if you add up Chen Li's previous life and present life~ his age is actually not too young, but this age...is not how to calculate.

Let's get real~ In fact, Chen Li's age is getting closer and closer to the actual age of his body.

When he was just reborn~ Chen Li had a body in his teens and a mind in his 30s.

And now~ Chen Li has a body in his early twenties and a mental age in his twenties!

This may seem awkward, but it is actually an objective fact.

Mental state of mind psychological age ~ will change according to the environment around you.

And a young man in his 20s was almost ignored by a large group of people on such an occasion. If Chen Li's mental activities were very calm, then he must be a ghost.

So. The lyrics of "I swear with tears in my eyes at that time ~ everyone must see me!" has been constantly emerging in Chen Li's heart.

But at the same time, Chen Li's decades of life experience made Chen Li realize that it's actually not a bad thing to be ignored like this.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Li appeared to be very calm and calm on the surface, but deep down, there was a little bit of turbulence.

At this time, the auctioneer on the stage was already introducing the next item to be auctioned, which seemed to be an ancient painting.

Chen Li didn't have much interest, so he didn't plan to raise the placard. In fact, he didn't plan to raise the placard tonight.

After all, this is not a charity auction, and Chen Li doesn't need to auction an item just because he's pretending to save face.

As for these antique works of art, he really has no interest.

In fact, not only did he not raise his placard, but the richest man in Asia didn't seem to be photographing anything either.

Of course~ people come here, of course, they are definitely not here for some works of art.

If he really wanted to buy something~ he didn't need to go to any auction, he probably would have directly traded with the boss Liu in private.

The reason why the other party came to this auction was naturally to discuss matters with the boss Liu.

As for why they don't discuss things in private, Chen Li is not very clear.

However, Chen Li was also a little curious. After all, in his opinion, if such a boss really wanted to talk about something, wouldn't it be more convenient to talk in private?
Well~ I can only talk about the thoughts of the bosses~ Chen Li, a young man, can't understand.

It's even possible that these are all Chen Li's overthinking. Old Li is just bored, so come to this auction for a while.

After all, Chen Li had seen it before, and Old Li was accompanied by a lady with a wonderful temperament.

Although Chen Li didn't know the other party, Chen Li guessed that that person might be the confidante of old Li Tou.

Chen Li read a report in his previous life, but Chen Li couldn't remember the exact year, anyway, the report said that Old Li Tou and his confidante were visiting a famous scenic spot abroad, and they were even surrounded by people.

So~ if it's his confidante who wants to come over for a walk, it doesn't seem impossible.

Of course~ this kind of thinking is a little nonsense, Chen Li still prefers the former guess in his mind.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Li himself, Chen Li has already made plans for tonight.

Eat ~ watch the auction ~ just run away when it's almost over.

In fact, if it wasn't for the fear of bad influence, Chen Li actually wanted to ask some artists in the banquet hall for autographs or something.

It's not that Chen Li likes these people, but Liu Qingqing and Chen Xue like them.

And ~ if Liu Qingqing and Chen Xue saw their favorite female star looking like a courtesan at the moment, they would probably be disappointed, right?

So. Chen Li didn't ask for an autograph.

Just like that~ when the auction was halfway through~ Chen Li was still sitting in the corner of the banquet hall.

No one bothered~ He didn't bother others either.

But at this time, the center of the auction suddenly began to have a lot of movement.

Uh~ The center of the auction is not the auctioneer on the stage, nor the artwork on the exhibition stage next to the auctioneer, but the seat of the richest man Li and the boss Liu.

Chen Li raised his head and looked over there, just in time to see the richest man Li and the boss Liu chatting while walking, and the direction they were walking~ was the exit of the banquet hall.

Obviously ~ this is the richest man Li is leaving!
So now everyone stood up one after another, even though the richest man Li didn't even look up at them, everyone still had respectful smiles on their faces.

This scene is actually quite interesting, but it's a pity~ Chen Li himself is also a member of the group who got up, so it's not interesting.

In fact, to be honest~ even if Chen Li couldn't get up and eat on his own, no one at the scene would notice him.

And even if someone noticed it, it is estimated that the richest man Li probably wouldn't care about Chen Li, a young man.

But Chen Li is not stupefied, he is very clear about when and what to do.

It still needs to be pretended, whether it is useful or not!

Isn't the old saying already said~ don't seek merit~ but seek no fault!

And people have to be gregarious!
So~ Chen Li also joined the group of people who got up, even though Li Shoufu and his party had no one looking at him except security.

I don't know why~ When the richest man Li passed by the aisle not far from Chen Li, that line of lyrics suddenly appeared in Chen Li's mind again.
"That year eighteen ~ the alma mater dance ~ standing like a minion!"

"At that time I swear with tears in my eyes ~ everyone must see me!"

Although not appropriate ~ but very realistic!
