Zhang Xuan was eating at the buffet table in the banquet hall alone.
People around him cast strange glances at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan completely ignored these gazes. While grasping the food on the table, he watched the time on his mobile phone. There were fifteen minutes left before the auction began.
Zhang Xuan stretched his hand to the last piece of pastry in front of him.
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to catch the piece of cake, the cake plate was knocked over by one hand.
Zhang Xuan looked back and saw a young man standing aside and knocking over the dinner plate. It was completely unconscious. The young man was holding the phone and staring at the phone screen, cursing and grinning.
As if he noticed someone looking at him, the young man raised his head, glanced at Zhang Xuan, and shouted, “Look at your father?”
Zhang Xuan lowered his head, not paying too much attention to it.
The youth’s gaze continued to be placed on the screen of the mobile phone in front of him.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the time for the auction was getting closer and closer.
The guests spontaneously sat in the guest seats in front of the auction table to welcome the beginning of the auction.
After the host’s speech, the auction began.
One after another commodity is sold at high prices. People who come here don’t care about the true value of the commodity. What they want is nothing more than a charity name.
With the passage of time, the last lot was presented to the stage by two beautiful etiquette girls. This is a stone book. It is rumored that it records the most true decline of a dynasty in the ancient heat of summer, but the text is extremely old. Nothing has been translated now. Because of its stone quality, it can be sealed for longer than paper books. This book was listed as a national treasure a long time ago. This time it was put out for auction. Everyone was very happy. It is clear that the person who photographed this stone book will donate the stone book to the museum at the auction site in exchange for two fame. Donating other things in the past will not have such a big effect.
It can be said that the most important part of this auction is the last stone book lot.
“Everyone, the introduction of this history book is clearly stated in the manual in front of you. The starting price is one dollar!”
When the host called out this price, the auction price of this stone book has reached 5 million in the two price increases. This price is actually just an appetizer, and even the final buyer does not want it. The price is only so low. The higher the price of this stone book, the greater the reputation they get.
When people reach a certain position, money has no too much concept for them. What they want more is something else.
“Ten million!”
“Twenty million!”
“Fifty million!”
“One hundred million!”
After reaching this price, everyone knew in their hearts that the real secret battle would only begin at this time.
“Everyone, this book should stay in my hot summer. I donated 120 million. This book will be donated to the museum free of charge!” A middle-aged woman stood up and said like this.
“President Yan is really proud, one hundred and twenty million, free donation, is our business model!” Someone immediately flattered.
“Ho ho, in fact, I also want to donate free of charge, for fear that these national treasures will flow into the hands of outsiders. However, all the money from this auction will be donated to the mountainous area. For the mountainous area, it is 120 million, which is slightly less. Now, I will give out one hundred and fifty million!” Someone stood up to fight, and the words were very beautiful.
“Since I’m contributing to the country, let me take part in it, 180 million.” Another voice was heard.
“Two hundred million, also donated to the museum free of charge, delivered on site!”
One person after another said, at this time, if you don’t talk about free donations, you would be embarrassed to bid.
This time the competition was extremely fierce, but the price increase rate was much slower.
Just as everyone stopped moving forward, a middle-aged man stood up and said, “Three hundred million! Don’t fight with me anymore. You can serve your country and give me a chance.”
As soon as the middle-aged man uttered, those who were present at the bidding stopped their voices, because the identity of the bidder was not ordinary.
The auctioneer nodded when he saw the scene quieted down. He had been in this business for so long, and he understood that the price had come to an end.
“Three hundred million for the first time!”
“The second time for 300 million!”
“Three hundred million third…”
“Billion.” A voice suddenly sounded.
The number of one billion has made everyone on the scene beat their hearts!
One billion! Buy a reputation for a billion? Who is doing this!
Everyone looked at the place where the sound came from, and what they thought was that the person who shouted out these billions was actually the weird man with messy hair and a big baggage on his back.
He just called out the 300 million person and frowned. He thought that someone might want to fight with him. His reserve price was 400 million, which was already the limit, but he didn’t expect this person to fight with him. One billion in just one shot! This price is totally unacceptable!
Even the host and auctioneer of the auction were surprised by the price.
After Zhang Xuan shouted the price, he sat silently in the corner.
Under the host’s eyes, an auction staff member trot to Zhang Xuan and whispered something.
Everyone here understands that this is an auction for capital verification. Although this kind of charity auction has almost zero chance of arbitrarily bidding, the price of one billion is too amazing.
After talking to Zhang Xuan in a low voice, the staff made a gesture.
The host on the stage nodded.
“The first time in a billion!” the auctioneer said, telling everyone that the person who bid the price has the ability to give out one billion.
This message made many people cast a good look at Zhang Xuan. They could hardly imagine the amount of financial resources that could buy a famous person with a billion.
Those people who looked down on Zhang Xuan before, regret it at this moment, because of such a good opportunity to get close to this kind of person, why didn’t they have a good chance.
The price of one billion yuan cannot be surpassed by anyone present.
“The second time in a billion!”
“The third time in a billion!”
“Boom!” The gong rang.
“Congratulations, Mr. Zhang, for taking this history book at a price of one billion!”
The host spoke out in high spirits, and then applause broke out in the auction.
“Next, please Mr. Zhang!” The host made a please gesture on the stage.
Eight ceremonial girls with beautiful figures in dresses came to Zhang Xuan, stood in two rows, and made a sign of please.
Zhang Xuan’s expression was blank, and he walked onto the stage and took the stone book.
“Next, donation ceremony!” The organizer pulled out the donation banner that had been prepared.
People from the museum also greeted them with smiles, “Thank you, Mr. Zhang!”
“Donate? Who said I want to donate?” Zhang Xuan looked strange.
