"Assets of 5000 billion? This is a good show. I don't know how much money Li Linfei will be cheated of today. It hurts to donate too much, but it is not appropriate to donate too little."
"Mr. Li, hello, long time no see, can I do this?" At this time, Papa Ma, who was sitting a few rows in front of Li Linfei, got up and came to Li Linfei's side.
The two are currently the top tycoons in the country. Sitting together immediately attracted many reporters to secretly watch from a distance holding their cameras.
"Please." Li Linfei nodded and smiled.
After Papa Ma took his seat, he glanced at Li Linfei, and found that this young man was more energetic than before, with a restrained edge.
Unlike other entrepreneurs, Papa Ma himself has a personal asset of over 2000 billion. He once said that he is not interested in money. Many people in the outside world say that he is pretending, but he is really not that Kind of people, just the truth.
This time I came to this charity gala, I just happened to pass by and sold it to the government to save face.
"Recently, Mr. Li, your actions are not small. You have done great things in China and North America. It's amazing!" Papa Ma smiled and talked to Li Linfei.
Hearing this, Li Linfei smiled modestly and said, "Compared with your experience, Uncle Ma, I'm just playing tricks, and I can't get on the stage."
Li Linfei is not flattering Papa Ma. In the business world, Papa Ma is indeed a legend. When no one believes that e-commerce can make money, he has brought e-commerce to the world and brought benefits to people. Profit achieved.
……
As time passed, seven o'clock in the evening came.The VIP seating area was full of people. In addition to big-name entrepreneurs and business leaders from all walks of life, there were also some officials from the officialdom. Mr. Chen Qing also came.
After he arrived, his eyes flashed, and after seeing Li Linfei, he immediately ran to the other side of him and sat down. After greeting Papa Ma, he chatted with Li Linfei.
Soon, on the high stage, the host cleared his throat and said, "Thank you all the leaders and bosses for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this charity gala. On behalf of the people in the impoverished mountainous areas, I would like to thank all of you for your kind help..."
After some opening remarks, the mayor of Xiangzhong City, Wei Chun, gave a speech on behalf of Shen Yajun, and then the special guest, Papa Ma, also gave a speech.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the real auction officially started.At the beginning of the auction, there was also a box on the side to donate in cash without participating in the auction. Those who want to make a direct donation can use the pen and paper provided by the auctioneer to write the donation amount, and then write the amount on the box. Paper, into the box.
After the auction, the host will show, read and thank the donors and the amount in the box.The first item in the auction was a blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, which was bought by a middle-aged man who owned a chain supermarket for 880 million yuan.
The second item, an ink painting by a modern artist, was auctioned by a furniture seller for 57 yuan.The third item was a pair of jade bracelets, with a starting price of 200 million, but unfortunately, the auction was passed.
……
The auction was extremely boring, and Li Linfei fell asleep watching it.
An hour later, the auction item came to the tenth item.
At this time, Chen Qing said to Su Cheng: "Boss, why didn't you bid for the price? Given your current situation, it would be a good thing for you to make more auctions. It just so happens that these auction items are not worth much now."
What Chen Qing meant was to ask Li Linfei to take more pictures of worthless things and show his face more, so that he could spend less money in the future. "Don't worry, it's still early."
Li Linfei leaned back on the chair and said calmly, "All right." Hearing this.
Chen Qing couldn't say much, so he could only continue watching the auction.
At the charity auction party, the lights were bright and the voice of the auctioneer was high.
In a flash, the time passed to 09:30 in the evening, and the two-hour auction came to an end.
The last item is a statue of Buddha with a starting price of 900 million RMB.
Under the yelling and shouting of some entrepreneurs, the price was quickly raised to 2000 million.
But after reaching this price, the calls became less. After all, 2000 million is not a lot of decimals.
After all, they came here just for a formality, and they don't need to expose their good deeds. At this time, they choose not to bid, and just put some money in the donation box for meaning, that is the right choice.
"President Li, are you still not making a move?"
On the side, Papa Ma saw that Li Linfei was still calm and stable at the end of the auction. He felt a little puzzled and couldn't help asking.
"You haven't made a move yet?" Li Linfei smiled.
Papa Ma laughed and said, "I've already made a move."
"Oh?" Li Linfei was taken aback. He remembered that Boss Ma had never asked for a price. Could it be... .
"To tell you the truth, this Buddha statue is a collection of our company. If you want Mr. Li, the price is within 3000 million, which is a suitable price." Papa Ma said.
Chapter 763 Finding Faults
Hearing this, Li Linfei nodded, just as he thought, he guessed that Papa Ma didn't open his mouth to bid, but said that he made a bid, so it was probably an auction item.
Moreover, according to Papa Ma's words, Li Linfei learned that this Buddha statue was not his personal, but provided in the name of the company.
In this way, in fact, Papa Ma personally donated very little money, but the reputation of a good person has all fallen on him.
"Sorry, I don't like to collect Buddha statues." Li Linfei said.
"That's too bad."
At this time, Chen Qing leaned over and said: "Boss, you are not going to take pictures of this Buddha statue, do you want to donate money directly? If you donate money directly, you will suffer a lot. If it is less than [-] million, I am afraid that you will be criticized. "
"Damn tongue?"
Li Linfei said lightly: "I want to see, who dares to make irresponsible remarks to me."
"This..." Chen Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He also understood Li Linfei's temper.
But then again, Li Linfei did have such a proud capital, who dares to trip him up, Chen Qing believed that the unlucky one must be the one who tripped him up.
Father Ma also smiled when he heard Li Linfei's words. Although he was not sure what Li Linfei wanted to do, he was sure that although Li Linfei was young, he would not do reckless things.
After several rounds of asking prices, the last statue of Buddha was finally bought by a real estate owner at a price of 600 million RMB.
As a result, the auction stage officially ended, and the cash donations on the side also came to an end.
But at this moment, the fun seems to have just begun.
Many entrepreneurs present, as well as reporters and onlookers, made strange comments about the auction.
"What, it's over like this?"
"No way, Li Linfei hasn't made a move yet."
"It shouldn't be, he is the richest man, so rich!"
"Isn't it because you are too stingy and reluctant to donate money?"
"I didn't expect him to be such a person. He made so much money and didn't say anything about repaying society. His morals are too bad."
"I heard that he often prodigals to buy luxury houses, airplanes, and sports cars. In this kind of charity party, he is actually reluctant to donate a penny. Sigh..."
