C183 What a Coincidence
Zhang Xiaoloong smiled and whispered, "Do you believe that they can find the Four Appearances Divine Orchid?"
With this reminder, Chen Yaru finally reacted. As long as she grasped this foundation, no matter how hard the Xu Family tried, they would not be able to duplicate the Yaloong Beverage.
"However, I still feel that there must be some secret behind his charity auction. This is a trick they are used to using," Chen Yaru was also puzzled, "But usually, this kind of hype is just a one-man show to call everyone over. This is the first time. "
If it was a one-man show, they could sing whatever they wanted. But if they gathered everyone together, it was very likely that the limelight would be stolen. This was something that the Xu Family definitely did not want to happen.
But this time, what they did, could it be that they were certain that no one would be able to steal their limelight?
"We should do what we should do. There's no need to think about anything else. " Lee Donghua smiled gently. "Yaru is very smart. There are many things that cannot escape your eyes. But there are too many conspiracies in this world, and there are even more plots in the business world. I like Xiaoloong's attitude more when it comes to this. As long as you are certain that what you have done is right. I will do it without hesitation. As for other conspiracies or schemes, it has nothing to do with us. "
"Uncle Lee, you flatter me." Zhang Xiaoloong said humbly.
"When Uncle Lee praises him, can you not treat me as a teaching material instead?" Yaru, on the other hand, seemed to be a little unwilling to protest. Actually, she was also very happy about this in her heart.
When a woman sincerely works for a man, a man's achievement is even more worth celebrating than her own achievement.
"Mr. Xu is right. We also wish to see... Under the joint efforts of all the philanthropists led by Mr. Xu, the charity business in Qingyang City could be as Mr. Xu had said. Not only will it welcome spring, but it will also be able to enter the hot summer. The autumn of the bumper harvest..."
The host's words attracted Chen Yaru's ridicule from below, "They have to be like the Xu Family. It would be strange if charity did not enter the winter."
Lee Donghua and Zhang Xiaoloong looked at each other and smiled silently. They ignored her. It seemed that this girl's resentment towards the Xu Family was not something that could be eliminated in a short period of time.
"Next, we will invite the auctioneer of this venue to come on stage. We will also be honored to introduce him. For the sake of this auction, Mr. Xu specially invited the chief appraiser of the Qi Shi Auction House, Mr. Huang Zhiyong. " The female host once again enthusiastically introduced the items, "Every item here will be personally inspected by him. The auction will be carried out once again. With Master Huang's profound appraisal skills, he can absolutely guarantee that every item is real and worth more than what they are worth."
As she introduced them, the spotlight also switched to a middle-aged man sitting at a corner of the stage. The other party only nodded slightly and gestured to the audience below the stage.
Many people knew who this auctioneer was, so when they saw him coming, they were surprised, but at the same time, they were also impressed by the reputation of the Xu Family.
Everyone knew that the auction company would get a commission for the items being auctioned in the auction house, and the profits of the auctioneer and appraiser were also among them.
For a master appraiser like Huang Zhiyong, it was not easy for an ordinary person to get him to appraise the items.
This time, it was a charity auction. The items were donated by various philanthropists, and the money obtained from the auction was also donated. The fees for the auctioneer and appraiser were naturally paid by Xu JinDou.
If Xu Family wanted to show off in this auction, there must be an item that shocked everyone. This meant that not only would they have to pay a huge price, but they would also have to spend money to pay for the other people's auction. This didn't seem like the style of the Xu Family.
Besides, who could say for sure about the auction? With so many wealthy merchants here, if someone brought out an even more valuable item, wouldn't the Xu Family become someone else's wedding dress?
Chen Yaru did not understand. The auction had already begun, so she could only watch patiently.
The auctioneer was a young lady, and her explanation was filled with passion. Coupled with the infectious smile on her face, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
And because these items were all opened by Huang Zhiyong, they were first appraised by Huang Zhiyong, and then auctioned by the auctioneer on the stage. So everyone was looking forward to seeing what kind of good things there were at the back.
Of course, they were not afraid of buying fake items, because Huang Zhiyong's name was a golden signboard that no one had been able to break.
In fact, there weren't many interesting things in these items. Most of them were tens of thousands of dollars, and even a few hundred thousand dollars were in the minority. After all, not everyone was as wealthy as the Xu Family.
Later on, an antique was auctioned for a price of tens of millions, shocking everyone.
Chen Yaru originally thought that this was something from the Xu Family, but in the end, she found out that it was Lee Donghua who donated it.
Although the value of ten million was a little high, it wouldn't be too much of a difference. Lee Donghua's status as the richest man in Qingyang in the past few years was indeed about to be confirmed.
"Xiaoloong, what is your auction item? Can you let Uncle Lee hear it in advance?" Lee Donghua was still curious. He couldn't help but feel an itch when he didn't see anything decent along the way.
" It seems like this one is ours. Uncle Lee, just open your eyes wide and watch. " Chen Yaru blinked her eyes and smiled slyly.
"You little girl, good. Uncle Lee, let's see what the two of you have come up with again." Lee Donghua looked at the stage.
At this time, the host had announced that the next item was going to be auctioned. However, it seemed like Huang Zhiyong hadn't finished the appraisal. The scene became silent.
"What a marvelous work of art, what a marvelous work of art!"
A few minutes had passed. The anxious atmosphere in the venue had completely fallen. When his previous efforts had been in vain, Huang Zhiyong let out a sigh.
Ignoring the gesture of the auctioneer, he directly carried the item and walked to the front of the microphone. "May I ask, which friend donated this Righteous Green Phoenix Spreading Wings Jade?"
Zhang Xiaoloong and Chen Yaru looked at each other and smiled. Then, the two of them walked forward together, and the spotlight also fell.
"This is a token of appreciation from our Tengloong Company for the charity. I wonder if this jade is worthy of the master's eyes?" Chen Yaru said.
Tengloong Company? Many people knew about this company. After all, many people had been paying attention to Zhang Xiaoloong. But now, no one understood why this company... It actually made Huang Zhiyong, this firm master, stand out in surprise.
"It's truly a masterpiece. This piece of jade is exquisitely carved. It has reached a stage where I can't describe it with words." Huang Zhiyong's voice could prove everything. He was indeed very excited. However, he tried his best to restrain himself, as if he was afraid that he would break the thing in his hand if he got excited. "May I ask which master's work this is? Can you tell me?"
