Today's two chapters can be regarded as Saturday's update.But only two chapters.Very sad, the lunatic's debts have increased again.

…………

The municipal party committee and the municipal government all came out?As soon as Li Sheng heard it, he knew that Deputy Mayor Lu's words were difficult to answer.

He glanced at and saw that other people were also listening to the conversation between the two. He turned his mind and said, "Lingang is an international metropolis and is well-known in the world. Besides, the prosperity of Lingang is the common cause of everyone in Lingang. The result of hard work. Tia and I dare not be praised by the municipal party committee and the municipal government."

Deputy Mayor Lu also found that other people were listening to the two of them, so he didn't go any further.This is the auctioneer just announced the official start of the auction.The first item to be auctioned is a Qing Dynasty cloisonne donated by an entrepreneur.The starting price is 10 yuan.

Li Sheng was a little surprised at the low starting price.But he didn't ask.

The auction of the first lot started, and there were only a few people who raised the placards. It was not known whether it was the friend of the lot donor who helped raise the price or really wanted it.In the end, the donor's wife took the auction.The transaction price was 80.

When the second lot appeared, Deputy Mayor Lu whispered again, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "This 80 donation can indeed help many needy people. But among the more than 2000 million people in Lingang, those who receive the subsistence allowance There are more than 30 poor households of various types. The Lingang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have been committed to helping these difficult households out of poverty, but the funds are relatively lacking. The auction held now can indeed raise a certain amount of funds for our charities, and our municipal Party committee Municipal governments work together to achieve common prosperity."

Li Sheng did not expect to receive some political education on such an occasion.He thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a very meaningful event!"

Deputy Mayor Lu smiled and said nothing.

Maybe it's because there are so many lots, and because this kind of auction is just a formality, so many times the lots are sold by one person, and then they are sold quickly and funds are raised.The donor also showed his face, everyone was happy.

In just four to 10 minutes, White Gloves auctioned [-] lots in succession.Most of them are collected by entrepreneurs, and some are auctioned by celebrities.There was a break for two songs in the middle, and White Gloves came on stage again. The first lot was a small emerald portrait.

White Gloves said: "Lot No. 60 is a portrait of a yellow jadeite in glass donated by the world-renowned philanthropist Ms. Tia Jiluoluo. The height of the portrait... The most precious thing about this lot is that it is a world-renowned company Mr. Li Sheng personally carved it with unique craftsmanship. I think this is one of the few works of Mr. Li as a sculptor. No. 60 No. 50 is the work of Mr. Li Sheng, a glass yellow jade figure, with a base price of [-] Ten thousand yuan. Please bid."

Li Sheng listened to him, did Tia set a reserve price of 50 yuan?Not to mention that it was carved out of his hard work, but the material is only ten times the price.

He raised his hand and directly quoted a high price: "5000 million."

While it was the highest bid ever offered at the auction, no one was surprised.Everyone knows.Regardless of Li Sheng's purpose, it is only equivalent to a donation.None of the people who could get along enough to be invited to this reception had insufficient brain capacity.Even if he had a problem with Li Sheng, he wouldn't argue with him here.At this price, no one will compete with Li Sheng.So the little figure returned to Tia's hands.

The small figure was brought over by the staff, and Li Sheng didn't bother to wait to go through the formalities, so he directly wrote a check and handed it over to the staff, saying, "Please hand over to us."

The staff carefully left with the check in hand.

Then Deputy Mayor Lu said in a low voice: "On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, I would like to thank Mr. Li for his support of Lingang charity."

Li Sheng responded with a smile: "Mayor Lu is over-rewarded. This is what we should do." He also guessed that the deputy mayor Lu planned to let him and Tia invest part of the charity funds in Lingang.But although he has this plan and has been doing it all the time, he doesn't plan to have too much connection with the government.

Doing charity in Lingang is good for the reputation of Nam Kwong Group, him and Tia.After all, they are in Lingang now.But the government is hooked on things, and he worries that there are too many guiding opinions.

However, he is still messing around in Lingang no matter what, and he wants to give the government face no matter what, so he donated 5000 million just now.It's like covering the government's mouth.

Auctions are still going fast.The second time, in less than an hour, one hundred lots were sold.There is a rest period of about 15 minutes in the middle.

Li Sheng's lot appeared at the end of the third batch of auctions: "Lot No. 170 is a wild ginseng plant over 300 years old." The picture of ginseng was released on the screen at the back, and there was a low exclamation from the scene Voice.Then a hum echoed in the hall.

Not only because of 300-year-old wild ginseng.If it weren't for the dense fibrous roots on it, the thing on the picture might be more like dried radish than ginseng.Because the comparison soft ruler on the picture shows that the main root of the ginseng is only thirty centimeters long and five or six centimeters in size.

Just listen to the white gloves and say: "This ginseng is 76 centimeters long and weighs 330 grams. According to the identification of Mr. Huang Jinglong, an authority in Chinese traditional medicine, it is a wild ginseng between 310 and 330 years old. There is no reserve price. Please bid."

Tia had heard from Li Sheng that his lot was this.They didn't plan to take pictures back either.

However, after the introduction of the white gloves, there was only buzzing in the lobby for a while, and no one bid.

Mo Haoran was taken aback when he saw the lot donated by Li Sheng, and looked at Li Sheng, wanting to see what he would do.But seeing him and Tia talking in a low voice without any intention of raising a sign, he understood that Li Sheng really planned to photograph this ginseng.

Others may have concerns, but he does know that the ginseng that Li Sheng brought out is definitely real wild ginseng.Because he has seen it at home.He was about to raise his hand to ask for a price, but someone had already made an offer.And there are two bids almost at the same time.

Of course Mo Jingran also knew the preciousness of that ginseng.His grandma, the old lady of the Mo family, used this kind of ginseng, and her health gradually improved.Now Mo Changfeng has clearly asked the Mo family not to ask Li Sheng for such things casually.And they also know that such things are indeed very precious, and it is not easy to ask Li Shengbai for them.

Now that he has the opportunity to get it, he certainly won't miss it.He raised his hand and quoted a price of 1000 million.However, another person quoted a higher price than him.

Luo Zheng was reminded by Li Sheng just now.Since Li Sheng said that he can quote with confidence, it proves that the ginseng is definitely not a fake.The first price he quoted was 800 million.

Seeing that Mo Jingran made an offer, Mo Haoran couldn't make another offer.He put down his raised hand with a smile, and said to Li Sheng, "I didn't expect you to donate this thing."

Although Luo Zheng and Mo Jingran both made bids, most of the people present knew that they had a very close relationship with Li Sheng, so they had concerns for a while.However, some people reacted.On such an occasion, it was impossible for Li Sheng to auction off fakes. The price of more than 1000 million seems a bit high.But now hundred-year-old wild ginseng is rare, let alone more than three hundred years old.

All of a sudden, the price of this ginseng began to skyrocket.

After more than a minute of bidding, Luo Zheng won the lot at a price of 8000 million.

This is because the process of this auction was relatively fast. After the others hesitated, they shouted twice in a row, and then the deal was sold.

Although the auction is not over yet, everyone knows that this ginseng plant can only be the king of bids in this charity auction.Li Sheng and Luo Zheng took turns to be the focus of the camera.

This is not a formal auction, and the atmosphere cannot be warmed up by the appearance of high-priced items.On the contrary, it made the following auction a bit anticlimactic, except for the owners of those lots, almost no one else paid attention.

Regardless of whether the money was paid by Li Sheng or not, he made a high profile today.Not only did he and Tia directly donate 5000 million, he himself also donated a lot that was sold for 8000 million.It is conceivable that his name may appear on the front page of the national news tomorrow.

But he didn't come up with such things for the limelight.

People often say: Be low-key and do things high-key.

What he recognizes more is to be a low-key person and do things in a low-key manner.To do things is to be a human being, and the contradiction between the two only appears to be different from the outside.And he has always been low-key, and he doesn't want to suddenly become high-key.

In fact, in China, some really rich people know very well that the first bird is shot first, so they usually act very low-key.If you have been high-profile all the time, it must be to promote yourself and your company, and that is still a normal attitude.But if someone who was originally very low-key suddenly became high-profile, there must be a reason.The main reasons are nothing more than two possibilities, one is that he wants to gain something through fame, and the other is that he may be in trouble or even a crisis.The latter possibility has actually happened in both business and politics.

He had read a book that introduced the richest man in Lingang in China more than 20 years ago.It was relatively low-key at first.But after going to Xiangjiang, it became high-profile and unreasonable. Whether it was attending a banquet or buying a luxury house in the middle of the mountain, the media always reported wildly.

But as a result, the man was arrested for commercial crimes not long after.It turned out that his company was being investigated, and the capital flow was unsustainable, so he had to go to Hong Kong to go public to collect money. For this reason, he had to prove that he was actually very capable.That was his sudden high profile.

Another example is the Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Before he was pushed out of power, he bought a Premier League team and visited China to seek his roots with a high profile. He not only transferred assets, but also hoped to get internal support through high profile.

In short, some people take the initiative to keep a low profile after being high-profile, because the things to be done have already been done.Some people are passive and low-key after being high-profile, because their lives are over.

So Li Sheng actually didn't want to make a high profile.However, Mo Changfeng's previous lectures did give him some insights, and it is necessary to be tactful.At the same time, it is necessary for him to let more people know him.By the way, it can also make those ginseng more valuable.

Although it is not certain that ginseng will be given to people in the future, there is still a basis for it.When you really want to give it away, this favor will be worth at least the 8000 million auctioned today.And there is still a price but no market, and you can't buy it if you want to buy it.The price at this auction can be said to be a standard.

However, he was taken aback by the auction price of 8000 million.He thought that the portrait of Huang Fei donated by Tia that he photographed would be today's bidder.It's just that he underestimated the degree to which people cherish their lives.
