Reborn Shanshui Family

Chapter 266
After about a quarter of an hour, the hall gradually calmed down, and the host began to walk to the front.There are too many surprises today, old Mr. Rockefeller is here.

"Thanks to all the kind and honest gentlemen and ladies. The annual California charity event is held today. Thank you very much for coming." The host is a man in his 40s, not very tall, but quite articulate.He is a full-time auctioneer, and because he knew Daphne, he was invited to volunteer for free and do charity.

Following the bow of the host, the people below gave applause.Everyone inside is acquaintances, and everyone likes the style of the host very much.

The host didn't go around in circles, and started the auction process, saying: "The first auction item was provided by our teacher Kai Li. She is a very potential painter and is very valuable for collection. Her paintings are full of warmth and warmth." Love, just fits the theme of our charity activities. The starting price for this painting is [-] US dollars, and each bid must not be less than [-] US dollars." This is a well-known art teacher at Weilan School, who is not yet a family , but because the paintings got a lot of attention, he was invited by Principal John to be the art teacher of the school.

Delphine caught Teacher Kaili's desire to be famous, and pulled her in. She participated in the charity gala for four consecutive years, and gradually became famous among these people.Some people even bought her paintings admiringly, and the value increased little by little.Teacher Kelly has gained fame and wealth, and the fund to which Delphine belongs has also received charity money. This is a win-win situation.

From the starting price of this auction, it can be seen that this kind of charity activity is indeed not up to standard, but it was initiated by Daphne and others, and it is a local charity organization.

"Eight hundred dollars." Someone made a bid, and it directly increased by three hundred dollars. Judging from the enthusiasm of the scene, this year's price is estimated to be higher than last year.

The art teacher named Kaili heaved a sigh of relief and didn't have to worry about not being able to sell it.If it wasn't for accumulating fame, she wouldn't come here.

"A thousand dollars."

"Fifteen dollars!" The price soared all the way, and Kelly was very excited.

This colorful painting was bought for $[-].At this time, Kelly was all smiles.With such a price base, her paintings will gradually sell at high prices in the future.For an unknown art teacher, not to mention a painter, three thousand dollars for a painting is considered very high.Every year, many people who study art win awards, but there are really not many who can support themselves with paintings.As long as she persists, she can already become a prestigious painter.

Qin Qing also participated in an asking price, 1000 and [-] US dollars.That painting may not be very good, but it does look very warm.When it exceeded two thousand dollars, Qin Qing stopped asking for a price.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen items were auctioned off, including a sailboat worth $[-].Soon came the Duanyan contributed by Li Jiabin and Qin Qing. Although the host had used a lot of words to describe this thing, not many people knew it.

It doesn't matter if you can't sell it, you're buying it yourself, and it's fine if you don't.

Li Jiabin held up the sign and said, "[-] U.S. dollars." The base price was [-] U.S. dollars, and Li Jiabin added [-] U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to their family donating [-] to [-] U.S. dollars.

When the host heard it, hehe, as long as someone bids, he suddenly became energetic and said loudly: "This is an inkstone with Chinese history and culture, and it has a very high collection value."

But other people don't cooperate. Charity is one thing, but if the things you buy back can't be used, the loss outweighs the gain.

Just as the host counted to three and was about to auction it off at US$[-], Rockefeller said directly, "US$[-]!" He only knew Li Jiabin's family, and when he saw that there was no support, he bid.

One hundred thousand dollars?So much money to buy a black thing, is old Mr. Rockefeller stupid with a lot of money?It was also because the couple had a good relationship with him and wanted to make them look better.It seems that this young Asian couple cannot be ignored in the future. They were really too careless before and lost the best chance to get to know them.

"One time for one hundred thousand dollars, two times for one hundred thousand dollars, and three times for one hundred thousand dollars. This is an ancient and precious inkstone and now belongs to Mr. Rockefeller." The host was very happy. Based on his experience, he already felt that this year's turnover would definitely be higher than that of Mr. Rockefeller. More than last year.

With the support of the old Mr. Rockefeller, Qin Qing's things were sold for one hundred thousand dollars.

Unknowingly, the auction has been halfway through, and 360 million donations have been received so far.The last two auction items are Owen's limited-edition children's watches, which cannot be bought with money, and need to be ordered a year in advance.The most important thing is that this is the grandson of the old Rockefeller, who is sought after by everyone and bids for each other. The original watch of 12 US dollars was auctioned for a high price of 38 US dollars.

The final auction item was donated by the old Rockefeller. It was a ten-carat blue rough diamond. Although it had not been cut, it still radiated the brilliance of many people under the light.The starting price of this original diamond is 80 US dollars.After the host talked about the origin of the diamond, the bidding process began.

"100 million US dollars." Li Jiabin was the first to bid, and it was reciprocated.If it hadn't been for the old Rockefeller's bid just now, their inkstone would have been taken back in all likelihood.

The blue diamond itself is very valuable, and the person who donated it was Mr. Rockefeller, so naturally everyone competed for the price.

"$130 million!"

"$150 million."

"Two million dollars!"

Qin Qing tugged at Li Jiabin's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Husband, why don't we call the price again?"

Li Jiabin nodded, raised his sign and said, "230 million dollars."

As soon as Li Jiabin's voice fell, there was already a bid of 250 million.

The old Rockefeller narrowed his eyes, very happy for everyone's support.In the end, the four-carat diamond was bought by Charlie's father for 360 million.Although the flesh hurts, Charlie's father is very happy.In the process of talking with others in the future, this is capital that can be used to show off.

A total of $760 million in donations was received in this charity event.Delphine, John and the others came out to thank them one after another. Everyone, take everyone to the banquet hall and have dinner together.

Delphine took the opportunity and asked Qin Qing in a low voice: "Helena, how did you and your wife know old Mr. Rockefeller?"

Holding champagne, Qin Qing replied in a low voice: "Dahe, Baoer, Alice and Mr. Rockefeller's grandson are good friends. Now that Owen is at Weilan College, John must know better than us."

Daphne was enlightened, she became more enthusiastic about Qin Qing, nodded and said: "Hehe, I really didn't expect that our charity activities could welcome the old Mr. Rockefeller."

"Yeah, I didn't think of it either." Qin Qing echoed.

"With this opportunity, our charity activities can be raised to a higher level. If we can invite the old man next year, we can expect to get more donations." Daphne said excitedly, "We can make more donations by ourselves." There are many welfare homes."

"It's really great." Qin Qing also felt very good. After all, more money can do more things, such as improving the environment for the children, supervising the orphanage, and taking care of the children more carefully.

As for Owen, he was dancing with Qin Bei. Some people came to exchange partners, but they were all scared away by Owen's sharp eyes.Charlie, that little fat man, had a heart but no guts, so he could only watch, and finally invited a little girl he knew to dance together.

As for Qin Bao and Qin Bei, they were watching the clown do magic tricks.

After lunch, it's time to end.Owen didn't go home, he went home with Qin Bei and the others.Old Mr. Rockefeller had been to Li's house last time, and he came here with his grandson this time, without any psychological burden at all.

Old Mr. Rockefeller learned from Butler Lawrence that Owen was rehearsing a dance with Alice, Qin Bao and others, and they were going to perform at the school Christmas party soon.

Last year, Qin Qing and Li Jiabin worked together to prepare the little apples for the children, which have been widely circulated in schools so far. What programs will they prepare this year?

When they got home, Qin Bei said in a childish voice, "Dad, we are going to practice singing. You can accompany Owen's grandpa, okay?"

"Okay, of course." Li Jiabin quickly agreed.

Yingzi prepared hot milk for the children and brought it in.Mr. Li, Mr. Qin taught old Mr. Rockefeller to play chess.

The spacious game room has a drum kit, bass, and an electric piano.

Qin Bei is actually here to play soy sauce, and originally wanted her to be the lead singer, but this little girl is insufficient in five notes, so she had to settle for the next best thing, let's play bass. I studied with the teacher for a while at school, basically will operate.The drum set is Dahe, who learns it very seriously and beats it like a model.As for the keyboard player, hehe, it is naturally Owen who has been learning to play the piano since he was three years old.As for Qin Bao, hehe, he is the lead singer.

As twin siblings, Qin Bei is tone deaf, but Qin Bao not only has perfect tone, but also has a very wide range, and can even sing high notes that adults dare not touch, so he just happens to be the lead singer!

The song this time is one of the rare English songs that Qin Qing can sing, and it is "Champion" by the former queen band.The children liked this song very much, so with the help of Li Jiabin, some sentences were re-arranged.This song is very difficult, and the treble part is not easy to sing, but Qin Bao can sing it after listening to it twice.The three composers in the back sometimes even sang harmony.Among them, Dahe and Owen were naturally the ones who contributed, and Qin Bei was just a soy saucer, opening his mouth, lip-syncing, and lip-syncing.What if this little girl really sings and ruins the whole song?
The old Rockefeller saw his grandson playing the piano passionately from the window. Although the piano was not good enough in his eyes, it made his grandson full of vitality, and he was happy to see it succeed.The situation of the eldest grandson is already very good. He is not only smart, but also has a vigor, so he must be trained well in the future.
