The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 419 Bird [Additional]

The next day, Keir's butler really drove to pick up Huang He on time, and Huang He naturally brought Hu Jing with him, and the two of them attended this event in full attire.

After going through a series of security checks, Vivienne took the yellow crane and successfully entered the venue of the event, a manor with a charming scenery.

This manor seems to be a private manor of a noble family. It is located in the suburbs of Paris. It takes 2 hours to drive here.

However, this manor is so huge that it accommodates a nearby mountain range.

Soon, under Vivienne's leadership, Huang He met the majestic French president and his wife. The two warmly greeted Vivienne, and Vivienne also introduced Huang He, only saying that Huang He was her friends, but did not name Huang He's identity.

The two listened, shook hands with Huang He very gracefully, and said a few words of greetings, but they didn't pay attention to Huang He the whole time, and just talked intimately with Vivian.

But soon there were new guests arriving, and two big figures were needed to greet them, so Vivienne took the yellow crane and left as if fleeing for her life.

The next morning passed happily, and Vivienne, Huang He and the others played wantonly in the manor.

I have to say that this manor is really huge. It not only has exquisite buildings, but also has swimming pools, tennis courts, football fields, basketball courts, and even a racetrack. Next to it is a stable. It is said that there are more than a dozen purebloods european horse.

And beyond these sports venues, you can see stretches of forests, and a small lake. There are more than a dozen exquisite wooden boats beside the lake, and the prepared fishing platforms. You can even vaguely see a few yellow cranes. Sika deer walks through the forest.

"These things belong to the owner of the manor?" Huang He couldn't help asking.

"That's right!" Vivienne nodded, "This is the manor of the Earl of Paris, and the hundreds of hectares of land nearby are the legal property of their family. It's even bigger here."

"Is this legal?" Huang He couldn't help asking.

"Of course it is legal, not only the land is legal, but also the titles of nobility. The French government recognizes these titles of nobility. It's just that they will no longer recognize new titles of nobility." Vivian explained.

"So the French people have no opinion?" Huang He asked curiously again.

"Why do you have an opinion? It's something passed down from the ancestors, and the nobles haven't done anything wrong. What can they have an opinion on?" Vivienne asked suspiciously, and Huang He understood that the three views of the two parties were still somewhat inconsistent.

Aristocrats exist normally in the West, which claims to be free, democratic, and equal. On the contrary, they think that China is autocratic, dictatorial, and has no freedom and equality... If the rich man tosses out such a manor and becomes his own The site, then it is estimated that the next second will experience what is called the anger of the common people.

However, I have to admit that this manor is very interesting. Huang He felt a little unsatisfied after finishing the morning. It was not until lunch time that he returned to the villa to participate in the noon banquet under the urging of the butler Vivienne.

During the meal, Huang He met the two big shots again, and the two sides clinked glasses friendly, but that was all, Huang He didn't even have the time to talk.

But after the lunch, it was time for an important part of the event, which was the charity auction.

Although this time is said to be a group outing organized by the French First Family, the more important purpose is actually a charity auction, otherwise hundreds of journalists would not have entered the banquet site for filming.

Charity auctions are rare and common in the social life of high-end French people, and this is also a good opportunity to reflect the noble character of these big shots.

After all, the more important the person is, the more he must establish his own kind personality, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

After a while, the president's wife came to the stage and began to give a speech.

This was originally a charity banquet initiated by the wife of the French President to install bird nests for migratory birds living in the city.

The reason was that someone photographed a nest of migratory birds nesting on a utility pole, but a car accident hit the utility pole, causing the nest to fall down, and all 5 newly born chicks were dropped to death. lament.

This photo undoubtedly touched the tears of many people, and then public opinion exploded, followed by animal protection groups criticizing urbanization, and then proposed to build stable nests for these migratory birds in the city, and then politicians found out He discovered the hot spots that could be hyped, so he took the initiative to help him launch various activities.

Our wife of the president thought of holding a charity dinner to raise money for these migratory birds.

For such reasons, Huang He always rolled his eyes, especially after the event started, the President's wife delivered a passionate speech, and then expressed the hope that everyone would observe 3 minutes of silence for these dead birds.

Of course, Huang He didn't want to do such a boring thing, but there were reporters all around, and the media were full of guns and short guns. Huang He could only follow them and bow his head, but God only knew if there was a moment of silence.

"Hey!" After the silence, Huang He sighed.

"Brother, do you feel sorry for these little birds too?" Vivian asked curiously.

"No, I'm just sighing!" Huang He said.

"Then what are you lamenting?" Vivienne asked.

"The chaos in the west will start here!" Huang He said with the corner of his mouth.

"What are you talking about!" What Huang He said had a taste of classical Chinese. Although Vivienne had learned Chinese, she was pretty good at it, but she still couldn't understand this kind of classical Chinese. She just felt that what Huang He said was very Great look.

"Yes, this is indeed just a trivial matter, but from the point of view, a country, so many dignitaries, are all mobilized because of a few small migratory birds, and even the president and the president's wife came forward to stop the event and maintain silence. It can be seen from this that the road of the West has been crooked!" Huang He shook his head in his heart and said, "In the future, if all politicians care about and discuss these things instead of the real development of the country, then the road of this country can be changed. Isn't it crooked?"

Of course, Huang He is not so far-sighted, but in the future, all kinds of unimaginable things from Bai Zuo, as well as the refugee problem, all tell Huang He with reality. When a country is dominated by Bai Zuo, What a terrible situation to fall into.

But Huang He would definitely not say these words, he just smiled and said, "I mean, maybe this is a good thing!"

"..." Vivian felt that she couldn't keep up with Huang He's thinking at all.

At this time, the wife of the president had finished her speech, and it was replaced by the president who spoke on it. Although the level was good, Huang He couldn't understand French, and he didn't have the interest in translating every sentence, so he just closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Ten minutes later, Mr. President finished his speech, and it was time for the charity auction.

The process of the charity auction is very simple, that is, all the big shots here take out one or two personal belongings to be auctioned on the stage, and the celebrities and dignitaries in the audience donate generously, and all the funds raised in the end are used for the theme charity Activities, join the money really all used for charity.

The first item to appear at the auction was naturally provided by the president. It is said that the cane was used by the president for more than ten years. However, Huang He looked at the brand newness of this cane, and it seemed to have been stored in the warehouse for more than ten years. After all, Mr. President There are very few opportunities to use a cane without limp or crutch.

In the end, the cane was sold for 32 US dollars, which is considered a high price, because the transaction price of the next seven or eight auction items was around several thousand US dollars, and only one broke 000 US dollars.

"The item below is from Her Royal Highness Princess Vivienne. This is the first princess tiara in her life. It is made of platinum and ruby, and the pattern of laurel is carved on it..." The host introduced this The history of the crown.

"You actually took your tiara to auction? And it's the first tiara in your life!" Huang He asked in surprise.According to the introduction from the host just now, this is Vivienne's 8th birthday, and his father put it on her head. It is the first public event, and it has a symbolic meaning. One of Vivian's most precious possessions.

"I can't help it. I didn't know there was a charity auction to participate in before I came here. The specifications are still so high. After searching for a long time, I only found such a suitable item!" Vivian said with a depressed face.

In fact, Vivienne still has a lot of things that can be auctioned, but those things are close to personal matters, so it would be too bad to auction them.

"Then how much do you think it can sell for?" Huang He asked curiously.

"Actually, this tiara is not something too precious, it is made of very common materials, and I can't bring out something too valuable, otherwise it will overwhelm the host, but I think this tiara should be able to sell for about 2 U.S. dollars. !” Vivian said.

As a result, although the tiara was indeed very beautiful, the auction price quickly exceeded 12, but no one bid for it when it reached around 000.

This made Vivienne's expression a little awkward. After all, she vowed that her princess tiara could be sold for 20000 US dollars, but it was only 12000 US dollars and it was stuck.

"12000 US dollars for the third time..." Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, Huang He directly raised the placard and made a gesture, and the auctioneer said excitedly, "2 US dollars, Mr. No. 58 bid 2 US dollars, Are there any other bidders?"

Hearing the price, there was a little commotion at the scene. The price increase of the princess tiara was 500 US dollars each time, but Huang He raised the price by 8000 US dollars in one go. This price increase is a bit domineering. Bit up.

Then someone will continue to increase the price, and the Yellow Crane top cattle?

Is this an online novel, and there seems to be no rival in love at the scene, so there are not many auction scenes where the prices are raised in turn in many novels.

And most of the adults at the scene also guessed that this is probably someone trying to please the princess, that's why they bid so high.

The auctioneer was also very good. He called the price three times in a short time and immediately dropped the hammer.
