Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 361 Charity Auction

"This is Yangtze River Industries, Li Jiacheng." Li Jiacheng took back his hand with a smile, neither humble nor overbearing. However, He Dingxian took a hot towel from the waiter's plate, wiped his hands and said with a smile: "Boss Li, business has been very prosperous recently."

Li Jiacheng's expression changed slightly, and he nodded and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously."

"Go sit down."

He Dingxian put down the towel with a smile: "I'll have a drink later."

"OK."

"He Sheng."

Li Jiacheng nodded happily, smiled and brought his wife in with him, but his expression suddenly changed after he sat down, and his eyes were very sinister.

In the past two years, the Yangtze River Plastic Factory in Lijiacheng has taken advantage of the east wind and its profits have increased significantly.

The company's headquarters moved from San Po Kong to North Point, which is closer to the pier, and its business is booming. Not only is it the most emerging Chaoshan rookie in recent years, it is also favored by capital. It has continuously expanded its production capacity and has taken over one-third of the East Asian market. It is known as the "Plastic Flower King".

Among the factory's plastic products, plastic flowers are the most popular, bringing in tens of millions of profits a year.

In the past two years, powerful people have emerged in several major merchants, such as Cao Guangbiao of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce and Li Baixin of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. Although Lijiacheng has expanded rapidly, it is still far behind the "Wool Spinning King" and the "African King". Li Baixin's garment factory, Just relying on the export volume to Africa, it has already made a lot of money.

Chu Yunnan didn't understand either and said suspiciously: "He Sheng."

"Do you have any issues with someone with the same surname as Li?"

He Dingxian shook his head: "No."

"Then what"

He Dingxian sneered: "I can't stand it."

Chu Yunnan was suspicious. Before the next guest arrived, she looked back at Li Jiacheng's location. With He Sheng's current social status, how could Li Jiacheng dare to mess with him? If there is any connection between the two.

It must be because of women.

She looked at Zhuang Mingyue's beautiful figure, thinking deeply in her heart, but continued to raise her glass and drink without delay. In the past two years, Oriental Pictures has produced several movies, among which "Peach Blossom River" by "Wang Tianlin" has the best reputation.

He Sheng also did not forget to balance work and rest when guiding work.

It is common for actresses to rush towards them and spend their nights shopping.

Fortunately, Mr. He had a child and had a stable personality. He never brought women home again, but that didn't mean there would be none outside. Zhuang Mingyue happened to feel someone's eyes sweeping over her, glanced sideways, and met Chu Yunnan's eyes.

Chu Yunnan smiled gracefully and nodded, then turned back to talk to the guests naturally.

"Welcome, everyone."

"Today is the first cooperation between Taixing Oriental and Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. All the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Fund free of charge to serve public welfare undertakings on Hong Kong Island." A female host wearing a suit stood on the stage , looking at the guests seated and preaching.

There are more than 200 Hong Kong tycoons, big and small, including young newcomers, mainstays, and established families.

They were all sitting on chairs, holding number plates, laughing at each other.

This kind of auction held with semi-official charities has already been carried out once in Haojiang. Boss He personally took the chips and cooperated with Jinghu Hospital. Seventeen items were auctioned for a total of 7.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

All donations will be donated to Kiang Wu Hospital.

Taixing Dongfang's reputation instantly spread throughout East Asia and became the most popular auction house. Consignment orders are coming in like snowflakes, small auctions are held almost every week, and the income from pumping alone is already hundreds of thousands a month.

Haojiang officials also issued awards to Taixing Dongfang.

This makes auctions using the same model on Hong Kong Island very popular among the wealthy.

With this trick, He Dingxian also made the auction quickly profitable and on the right track. During this period, he could not help but involve his charity fund in the project. This was not because he was greedy for money, but to find another way to invite names. Jinghu also gave him the title of honorary director. As he worked in society, he had more and more titles, but with the police rank on his shoulders, he was promoted one level in two years.

"There are thirty-one lots in this auction, seven of which are official porcelains from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, six are works of art, and seventeen are commodities, all donated free of charge by charities."

"First of all, I would like to thank the charity people for their love, and finally, welcome everyone to participate in this auction again." The female host took the lead in applauding.

Crash.

There was thunderous applause.

"Axian."

"Is it true that all donations are made?" Bao Yugang was wearing a white suit and tie, sitting in the front row.

He Dingxian does not squint.

"yes!"

"But don't shoot."

Bao Yugang turned sideways, looked at him and said with a smile, "Why?"

"If you have a kind heart, you will donate money if something serious happens. Why hold a large-scale auction? It's just to make people who are usually reluctant to donate money bleed." He Dingxian smiled and said: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you raise the price twice, it's right. Participate enthusiastically.”

"But remember to leave opportunities for performance to others."

Bao Yugang showed a wicked smile: "I really have you."

Afterwards, there were more than ten rounds of auctions, mostly for real estate, cars, and luxury goods. The prices were far more than three or four times the selling price, but generally within 500,000 yuan. But as artworks came on the market, prices soared.

Shao Yifu bought an oil painting from the Renaissance for 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars. The painting was an original, but the painter was not well-known. People who do not specialize in the history of civilization renaissance have never heard of it.

A third-rate painter!

He Dingxian remembered that there was a portrait of Queen Victoria in Gao Kening's collection room, and suddenly thought that it would be good to use Western literature and art to draw blood from the West. Unfortunately, there are not many Western artworks living abroad. Some countries have not even been founded for a hundred years and have no history at all.

"Seven hundred thousand."

Li Jiacheng suddenly raised his sign.

"On the 89th, Mr. Li from Yangtze River Industry has offered 700,000 yuan. Is there anyone willing to add more?" The hostess pointed to a young man five rows back. He was holding a small hammer in his hand and was about to hit the hammer. He Dingxian turned his head and lowered his head and said to Bao Yugang: "Add a hand."

"One million seven hundred thousand!"

Bao Yugang raised his hand.

The female host was obviously stunned, and said excitedly: "Mr. Global Shipping Bags, 1.7 million Hong Kong dollars, is there anything higher than 1.7 million?"

This item is nothing more than a hand-me-down glaze plate from an official kiln. The glaze color is very beautiful. However, there are many similar items on the market. Taking into account the increase in the next ten years, they actually do not exceed 700,000. Even with the reputation bonus from the charity auction, it would not reach a price of more than one million.

When Bao Yugang shouted out 1.7 million, many people present exclaimed, and Li Jiacheng even turned pale, feeling like someone had stepped on him deliberately. The way He Dingxian spoke in the front row caught the attention of many people, but they were all big bosses in the same row.

Li Jiacheng was sitting in the back row and couldn't see him, but that didn't mean he was stupid. He quickly realized that someone wanted to deliberately embarrass him. He Dingxian actually forced Li Jiacheng to bleed out and use it to honor the ghost man and do some good deeds.

In addition, leaking a little bit of news to the business celebrities will cut off the opportunities for both snakes and rats in Lijiacheng.

You know, just by He Dingxian's whisper just now, all the Chinese bosses present took the initiative to draw a line with Li Jiacheng.

Li Jiacheng also made a prompt decision and continued to hold up the sign: "1.75 million."

In two years, he continued to grow with the support of foreign banks. He has established a real estate company and is preparing to enter real estate. Due to the nature of a businessman, he has been keeping Xinji privately and flattering Gui Lao, while mingling with the Chinese bosses of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.

He is a well-rounded person. It is said that he is highly valued by several seniors, and some people already want to recommend him to be a director of the Chamber of Commerce. Today, He Dingxian undoubtedly gave him a warning, asking him to position himself correctly and stop thinking about being a director of the Chamber of Commerce.

But if he gives up easily, who will dare to cooperate with him in the future? The Chamber of Commerce does not belong to one surname. It is said that at the end of the year, the old president will retire and the new president will be taken over by He Dingxian. Li Jiacheng feels that sometimes, resistance is more valuable than surrender.

Bao Yugang heard him continue to bid, and glanced at He Dingxian quietly. Seeing that the younger brother didn't express any reaction, he turned around and gave the younger brother a wink. Cao Guangbiao immediately raised the sign and said loudly: "1.8 million!"

"On the 32nd, Mr. Cao from Taiping Woolen Co., Ltd. made a bid."

"One million and eight hundred thousand."

The female host said aloud.

But no one in the audience paid attention to the host on the podium. They all turned their attention to the area where Li Jiacheng was sitting, including those in the front row, who were also waiting for the news. As the host of the charity auction, He Dingxian was not allowed to compete with guests for auction items out of politeness.

Because charity auctions are all about carrying people on a sedan chair, making peace and wealth possible.

If an auction fails.

His role as the host is reflected in that he must call for a fixed price, pay the price to the bottom, and give out the price. Otherwise, the auction will be uninteresting. If there are too many unsold products, no one will come to the next one.

Therefore, He Dingxian did not personally come forward to fight with Li. It would be a loss to lose any grace for him. He simply asked Bao Yugang to come forward for him. However, Bao Yugang also cherished feathers. A dignified shipping industry king bullied a stinky plastic seller. of?

It doesn’t sound good if you tell it!

So Bao Yugang sent Cao Guangbiao to take action. Cao Guangbiao got acquainted with Bao Yugang when he was in Shanghai. After all, the Cao family had a large cloth shop and opened stores up and down the Yangtze River, so loans were inevitable.

Bao Yugang was also the manager of the Bank of China in Shanghai, so he naturally had a good relationship with Cao Guangbiao. After Cao Guangbiao left HSBC, he used his connections to find Bao Yugang, and then contacted Oriental Bank. Operating with the money of Oriental Bank, it has become the fastest rising banner of Chinese capital in the woolen textile industry.

"African King" Li Baixin used Gui Lao's money to make exports of ready-made garments prosperous, but all woolen fabrics were purchased from Taiping Factory. Everything that happened in the HSBC office that day also entered Sir He's ears.

Cao Guangbiao was the one who was pushed out to compete with Li Jiacheng.

"One million eight hundred and fifty thousand."

Li Jiacheng called for a fixed price again.

In the end, Cao Guangbiao raised the price for three more rounds, then gave up the lot at He Dingxian's slight shake of his head. Li Jiacheng's price of two million and one million yuan set a new record for the auction this night, and it was all the rage for a while. Only Zhuang Mingyue was left with an ugly face, as if she had been taken advantage of.
