Chapter 279 Charity Auction

This summer, Pixie, whose net worth soared, was invited to a charity dinner held by a private museum.

Since it is undertaken by a private museum, the theme is of course precious and exquisite works of art.

The sale will be made through an on-site auction, and then the organizer will donate all the commissions from the public auction to local schools and hospitals.

Therefore, the people invited to this dinner are either rich or noble, and they are all people from the upper class.

If Pixie hadn't become an upstart by buying lottery tickets, I'm afraid she wouldn't be eligible to attend this dinner.

"Did those people invite you because they thought you were stupid and rich?"

On the way to the venue, Rossi couldn't help complaining.

Those who can go there, and those who are eligible for the auction, can't do without a few million in their hands.

Even if you go to join in the fun and don't participate in the auction, at least you have to buy a few things inside as art collections.

"You're making fun of me!" Pixie was a little annoyed, and said, "If the company didn't think it would increase my popularity, I wouldn't want to go."

After all, it costs money to go.

"Luo, I don't really understand the value of those antique works of art. You will help me tonight."

That's why Pixie dragged Rosie over.

Rossi shrugged and said, "I have already called someone to help, and I will definitely not let you suffer."

When the two came to the entrance of the museum, the waiter enthusiastically helped to open the car door.

Pixie took out a tip and asked him to park the car.

"elder brother!"

Cheng Yao was wearing a plain evening dress, like a wintersweet plant in the cold wind, noble and elegant.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Rossi took off her coat, put it on for her, and said, "It's very cold, so I don't wear more clothes."

Cheng Yao smiled slightly and said, "Just arrived."

Pixie was a little surprised, Cheng Yao was the helper that Rossi found?
She is a little girl who knows how to collect art?
"Yao, come in with me."

The sister-in-law joined hands and left Rosie where she was.

After entering the venue, the decoration inside is very gorgeous, and the guests are already greeting each other and connecting with each other.

They are either government officials or business tycoons, and they have a lot to talk about.

That's why they're here.

For this dinner, many entertainment stars were also invited, which added a lot of color to the venue.

Naturally, Pixie couldn't say hello to her colleagues, so she temporarily left the Rossi brothers and sisters in the art gallery aside.

After the two browsed around the artwork display area around the venue, they found a quiet corner to sit down.

"Yao, how are things here?"

"Things are good, but the price is too different from the actual price. If you are doing charity, it is not too much to buy a few."

"As for the auction, don't sell it lightly."

Rossi also nodded in agreement, and said, "These capitalists don't buy these dazzling works of art, but their sophistication."

Cheng Yao chuckled, and said, "Brother, since you fell in love, talking is much more interesting."

While the two were talking, Pixie finally finished the conversation.

"It's really exhausting. Yao, is it fun here?"

Cheng Yao said: "It's not bad. I heard that there will be an auction tonight, and the invited people will also take out their treasured things to see what unexpected gains can be made tonight."

She regards this place as an antique market, shopping for treasures here!
"Yao, I heard that the water in this antique group is very deep, and it's easy to lose sight of it. You have to be careful." Pixie reminded her.

"Well, I'll just look around. I don't have any money."

About an hour later, the organizer announced the start of the auction.

A 10% commission will be charged for the auctioned items as the amount of the donation.

As a private auction venue, the auction items displayed by the host are also various.

There are Renaissance oil paintings, ancient Egyptian cultural relics, rare books, precious stones and watches, as well as famous cars and wines.

There is no guarantee that these things are true or false, and they cost millions of pounds.

The cheapest one broke through the [-] yuan mark after several rounds of price hikes.

The world of the rich is unimaginable.

When a British businessman bought a natural blue diamond for 310 million pounds, he walked forward with haughty eyes and walked with disbelief.

This is the highest transaction price so far at the auction.

"Miss Lott, money needs to be used to buy these things in order to preserve its value."

After the British businessman signed the subscription form on the stage, he returned to his seat and said with a grotesque expression.

"If you want to keep saving, I recommend going for gold."

The 2.5 million pounds in Pixie Howe's deeds has long been a sensation in the UK.

But as a singer, she may be the time when he gets the most money in his life, and she will never have it in the future.

But businessmen don't.

In just a few years, they may get several times more money than her.

Therefore, Pixie has never raised a sign, and in their eyes, she looks like a "hillies".

Pixie also heard his sarcasm.

She also likes gemstones, but the starting price is more than 80 pounds, and the price is constantly raised. As a newcomer, she dare not join in the fun.

After breaking through the million mark, the artworks and gems displayed subsequently all broke through the million level.

As a private auction, it is really incredible to have such a transaction price.

Raising the price fiercely can easily make people lose their cool. A natural emerald bead with ruby ​​broke through 500 million pounds after several rounds of bidding.

"Yao, should we continue watching?"

Pixie couldn't look directly at it anymore, this single gem was more than her two years' income.

These people really don't care about spending money.

"Don't worry, it's only halfway there." Cheng Yao looked at the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

The next few collections are all precious and ancient books, or the works of famous modern painters.

Although the price is not in the millions, the transaction price of tens of thousands is enough to refresh the three views.

"Miss Lott, don't you plan to buy anything?" The big-nosed businessman next to him sneered.

Those who can participate in this dinner feel ashamed if they don't take pictures.

Pixie wanted to escape here as soon as possible, but couldn't hold back her breath. Right now, a ruby ​​necklace happened to be auctioned, and the price had already reached 100 million.

This little money is nothing.

She was about to hold up a placard to prove it to everyone.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yao quietly tugged on her sleeve, signaling her not to be impulsive.

"This necklace has reached the highest price now, and there are still many people bidding. It is estimated that it will be conservatively fired to 180 million, which is too bad."

Cheng Yao's words made her calm down.

Affected by the atmosphere here, I have lost my thinking.

If it finally comes to 180 million pounds, she will buy it without hesitation, and the merchant will earn half of it with tears in her eyes.

Sure enough, the ruby ​​necklace was finally sold for 185 million.

The next collection is a pale yellow bracelet.

From the outside, it is very old, and the carvings on it are also very rough.

"This is a jade ring from ancient China. It is an ornament they wear around their waists, and it can also be worn on their hands."

"The owner of this collection went to China more than 100 years ago and was interviewed by the emperor at that time."

"This is the treasure bestowed by the emperor."

"The starting price is £15."

Although ancient Chinese jade is quite popular overseas.

However, the starting price of this piece of jade, which is simple in shape and not exquisite in carving, is actually 15 pounds.

After Rossi and Cheng Yao looked at each other, they both nodded.

Pixie also received the signal and confidently raised her cards.

"20 million!"
