Chapter 176. Charity

At this time, the "2011 New Century Art Auction" officially began, and those who originally gathered near the winery platform entered the venue one after another.

As seen on many TV movies, the entire auction site is like a large church that takes oaths, with an auction stand that smashes hammers and rows of seats below.

The guests participating in the auction were divided into three rows and took their seats one after another.

In fact, according to different purposes, guests here can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category is high-quality customers who paid the auction deposit to New Century Company and were preparing to participate in the auction at the event; the other category is VIP guests who specially sent an invitation letter to invite them, hoping that the other party would come to enjoy the show; the third category is to join in the fun and make soy sauce, hoping to make friends with more spectators from celebrities.

In general, Lin Yi should be the second type of person and was invited by New Century Company. No matter what, he is also one of the top "treasure holders" in this auction. Of course, he is qualified and has the privilege of sitting in the VIP seat.

In contrast, Wu Shaohui, "Hao Hui" who came in "take the invitation letter", and Su Xue were just sitting far away from the auction table, which made Su Xue feel uncomfortable again. From time to time, she looked at Lin Yi in the VIP area in front of her, and didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were suddenly blurred and sharp...

Lin Yi was accompanied by Uncle Chang and the little girl Fang Huaqian. They were talking to Lin Yi one by one. While Lin Yi felt kind, there was a hint of strangeness, and vaguely. He seemed to feel that the two of them did this on purpose, with the purpose of not letting themselves feel lonely and lonely.

What kind of virtue is that I am so cared for by the two of you?

Uncle Chang is okay. As an old senior, it is also necessary to care for the younger generation. As for the little girl Fang Huaqian, what is she doing? Is it really arousing her curiosity because she is an interesting person?

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about it, the little girl Fang Huaqian suddenly touched Lin Yi's arm and asked, "What is you holding in your hand? I saw you keep holding it. Is it a treasure?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but tighten his hands and grabbed the clothes and shoes he bought for Haitang even tighter. He was afraid that Haitang would suddenly appear, and he could give these things to her at that time, but his answer to the little girl was: "It's just some personal belongings, well, nothing."

"Look at me, it looks like clothes or something, what, who bought it for? My girlfriend?" The little girl smiled and looked at Lin Yi's eyes.

Lin Yi didn't dare to look at her, so he said, "What are you guessing nonsense, no."

"Wow, I blushed...hehe, that must have been bought for the woman." The little girl refused to give in.

Lin Yi was helpless, "So what if it is?"

The little girl laughed and said, "Then I'm even more curious. Who is she? Is she beautiful? Are she smart? What do you like?" Her eyes were full of curiosity, but behind this curiosity, there was a temptation.

"Why are you asking so much?" Lin Yi asked back.

"I care about you, no matter how we say we are friends."

"But I think you're too gossipy--especially at a young age, what's in your head all day long, and you don't learn well."

"Tsk, in front of my dad, you dare to teach me a lesson?" The little girl puffed up her cheeks, "I told you to know, I am a top student in the Chinese department of the University of Hong Kong. What about you, what about you?

Lin Yi: "I..." Damn, can you say you graduated from high school?

So he went over vaguely, "Why do you ask this? I don't want to bully you when you are young---and, the auction is about to begin, be quieter..." But he couldn't help but think of Haitang. Compared to this little girl, Haitang is much cute. She is also a Hong Kong girl, why is the gap so big?

Involuntarily, Lin Yi looked back at the door, but still saw no trace of Yi Ren.

When Lin Yi turned around, Su Xue also looked over here. Seeing Lin Yi turning his head, she subconsciously thought Lin Yi was looking at her, and her heart suddenly tightened and she was happy again.

But immediately Lin Yi turned his head and did not look at her. This huge gap made Su Xue feel annoyed. Could it be that he is too lazy to even look at me?

Anger suddenly filled my heart.

...

Just as everyone was whispering in the seat, the lights in the auction hall suddenly became dark, and then another light came to light, and a beam of light hit the stage.

A low-key celebrity walked to the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for visiting this New Century Art Auction. Today's event was initiated by Mr. Hai Baichuanhai, president of New Century Auction Company. The purpose is to prosper the art trading market and make Hong Kong a veritable art capital. Here, we please welcome Mr. Hai to speak on stage with warm applause!"

Applause suddenly came from below.

Amid the warm applause, Hai Baichuan walked onto the podium with great enthusiasm.

But seeing him standing on the stage in a vigor, his eyes slowly glanced at him for a week and said, "First of all, thank you everyone for taking the time to participate in this art auction. The reason why I have today is inseparable from everyone's support and love, and of course, it is also inseparable from the recognition and help of the society!"

After saying that, he stood on the stage and nodded politely to the audience, saying that he had made a thank you.

Continuing: "Today, here, I will first tell you that the 30% profit of this auction will be donated to Hong Kong charities, mainly welfare homes and nursing homes. Why do this? It is very simple, mainly to do some effort to repay the society and provide some help within the ability of those who are homeless, young and helpless.

Mencius of China once said: I respect the elderly and the elderly, and I am young and the young. This is in line with Confucius: I am not only close to my relatives, but also the sons. I can make the elderly have something to live, have something to use, have something to gain, and have something to gain, and those who are lonely and useless have something to gain. Its meaning is consistent with the same line.

Of course, I am not a saint and can’t do so much. I can only use everyone’s strength to complete the charitable actions after this auction. I hope everyone can take the lead in the next auction!”

The applause sounded again below.

It has to be said that Hai Baichuan is definitely a shrewd businessman. Many people think that he held this auction just to make money, but at this time he took the initiative to declare that he would use 30% of the profit to do charity, and he explained his "charity view" on the stage, which directly changed the nature of the event. Undoubtedly, since the end of the event, his reputation as a philanthropist has become even more famous.

In fact, it is not the first time that Haibaichuan has done charity, but it is the first time that it is such a high-profile one.

This shows how much he attaches importance to this auction.
