Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Hong Kong Island. Emperor Hotel!

The Emperor Hotel tonight can be described as a gathering of bigwigs and stars. Starting from 06:30 in the afternoon, many heavyweight bigwigs have arrived here one after another until the finale of the Hong Kong Governor's family.

After all, the organizer of this charity auction is the Government of Hong Kong. Whether it is a British-funded group or a Chinese-funded group, or the large and small associations on Hong Kong Island, they have to give the Governor a little bit of favor!

What's more, such a grand event is also a great opportunity to showcase the strength of the company and the family.

Therefore, not only important figures from the political and business circles participated, even those popular stars came here in a hurry, under the pretense of doing their part for charity.

In fact, what they think is unknown. Anyway, many celebrities who came here came and left the red carpet, but they didn't donate any money!

In the hall, the reception before the auction had already begun, but Yan Gengdong, who was holding a wine glass, looked out of place.

On the one hand, he doesn't like such chaotic occasions!

In his opinion, such a gathering or gala is more like a platform for the upper-class people here to compete for wealth and have fun. The so-called charity auction is completely different from the fund-raising donations he imagined.

In China, a donation is a donation!

Everyone took the money and put it into the donation box, even if the money was donated to the collective or the country.

Unlike here, it is obviously a charity fundraising, but there is a reception before the auction. It is said that there will be a dance after the auction.

In Yan Gengdong's view, the word charity has completely changed its flavor here.

On the other hand, Yan Gengdong, who was an airborne soldier, had nothing to do with the rich men at the reception.

Except for a few people who have business dealings, he is not familiar with the rest.

Therefore, when other people exchanged cups and chatted happily with each other, he seemed a little out of place.

Although Yan Gengdong has been here for a year and a half, he still can't accept the lifestyle of these wealthy people in the upper circles on Hong Kong Island.

In his opinion, there are people in the political and business circles here who count as one, and they all live a life of luxury and extravagance.

What these people pursue more is how much money they earn, buying large villas on the top of the mountain, luxury cars, yachts, and even islands. It seems that in their eyes, there is no concept of country, nation, or patriotism.

Just as Yan Gengdong was deep in thought, secretary Yang Huiying walked over with a strange expression on her face!

"Boss Yan!"

Yan Gengdong looked at her, and then asked: "Has the thing been handed in?"

"Hand in!"

"The organizer didn't say anything?"

"That's not true. After all, this kind of charity auction will donate all kinds of items. Our things are not unusual. I have seen people donate dogs before, and others donate used underwear..."

"Dogs, underwear...does anyone buy this?"

"Well, the dog was donated by the wife of the former governor of Hong Kong, and her pet dog was auctioned for a high price of 18 Hong Kong dollars. The donated underwear was a female celebrity, and it was also sold for 15 Hong Kong dollars!"

"From this point of view, the price of our things is a bit low!" Yan Gengdong said lightly.

"Mr. Yan, 5 Hong Kong dollars for three pills is already very expensive..."

Yan Gengdong thought for a while and said: "If the auction price does not exceed 10 Hong Kong dollars later, you can buy the medicine back!"

"This...why is this?" Yang Huiying asked in shock.

"You don't have to worry about it, just do as I say!" Yan Gengdong said.

"Yes..."

.........

At eight o'clock in the evening, the auction officially started!

Since it is a charity auction, all proceeds from the auction will be donated to charities to help those in need.

Therefore, the auction was not as formal as a normal auction. No matter if it was a wealthy businessman or a celebrity, they all sat in groups of three or four under the rostrum, and everyone had a wooden sign with a number in their hand.

As the curly-haired Governor of Hong Kong came to the stage, after a chatter, a female auctioneer appeared on the stage.

Then, the beautiful auctioneer said loudly: "Dear Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, hello everyone, I am the auctioneer of this auction, and my name is Li Youyou. Welcome everyone to participate in our annual charity event on Hong Kong Island. Auction, today will be a day of gathering love, feeling care, warmth and harmony... Let me read the rules of the auction..."

After some neat opening remarks, the auction officially started.

The first auction item was a manuscript of a songwriter, priced at HK$1000.

Since this master is very famous in Hong Kong Island, and the low price is not very high, the competition was very fierce from the beginning of the auction.

After more than 20 rounds of bidding, a few manuscripts were sold for 1.2 Hong Kong dollars, which shocked Yan Gengdong, who participated in this kind of auction for the first time.

When the family was not in decline, Yan Gengdong often went to Xu Linlu's "Peace Art Shop" to see paintings, and occasionally bought them.

He remembered that although the painting shop was less than 40 square meters at that time, it was a place where famous artists gathered in the capital. There were often famous masters in the shop, and Zhang Boju, Huang Yongyu, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, etc. were regular customers.

Even for these famous artists, the prices of their works are not high. Qi Baishi's paintings are the most expensive, but they are only about ten yuan. As for Huang Binhong's paintings, they cost one yuan a piece, and no one wants them—because everyone does not know them.

Unexpectedly, here, it is just a manuscript of a songwriter master, and it can sell for 1.2 Hong Kong dollars. It is really hard for people to be confident.

And the next auction made Yan Gengdong even more crazy. An oil painting donated by the daughter of the Governor of Hong Kong and painted by an unknown artist also sold for 2 Hong Kong dollars.

A guitar used by a star started at 1 yuan, and it was sold for 8 Hong Kong dollars abruptly.

Even a Buddha statue from the Ming and Qing Dynasties sold for a high price of 10 Hong Kong dollars.

Yan Gengdong didn't know what to say. When the country "destroyed the four olds", how many Buddha statues like this were smashed...

But before Yan Gengdong felt distressed, he saw the auctioneer bring up a familiar box.

Seeing this box, Yan Gengdong subconsciously sat up straight.

The beautiful auctioneer Li Youyou said again: "The following auction is auction item No. 18, which is donated by Mr. Yan from Weiyuan Pharmaceutical Company. The auction item is three pills..."

Hearing that this group of auction items turned out to be three medicines, everyone became very interested.

After all, they have all heard of the name of Weiyuan Pharmaceutical. Although the company has not been established for a long time, and the owner is relatively mysterious, it can attract pharmaceutical companies from European and American countries to cooperate with it. It is a company whose strength is far greater than its reputation. company of.

It is not surprising that the person in charge of this company can participate in this charity auction, but it is a little surprising that he donated 3 medicines, and everyone is curious about what kind of medicine he donated!

Fortunately, the beautiful auctioneer didn't keep everyone waiting, and she said gracefully: "These three medicines were developed by Weiyuan Company based on the secret recipe of the palace in the mainland, and they are mainly aimed at men. It can be said to be a gas station for men and a source of happiness for women to make men more confident and durable in that area. More importantly, the side effects of this drug can be said to be the best medicine that men all over the world have been waiting for for 4000 years..."

After a gorgeous introduction, the beautiful auctioneer announced the official start of the auction of "Palace Secret Medicine: Little Blue Pill" after stating the starting price of 5 Hong Kong dollars.

I thought that the starting price of 5 Hong Kong dollars would make the people present seriously consider it, although all the people who came to this auction were the richest group of people in Hong Kong Island.

But no one's money is blown by the wind, and no one will waste it carelessly if it is not necessary.

Didn't you see that the highest transaction price today was only 10 Hong Kong dollars? The starting price of 5 Hong Kong dollars should discourage some people.

However, no one expected that in less than 5 seconds, someone would raise a placard: "5!"

Immediately afterwards, someone raised a placard: "5!"

"6..."

"8..."

"10..."

"15..."

"18 Hong Kong dollars!"

When an imposing middle-aged man under the stage raised his placard, the entire auction hall fell silent instantly.

When the auctioneer saw the placard, he knew that there would be no more bids, and immediately said, "18 Hong Kong dollars once!"

"18 Hong Kong dollars twice!"

"18 Hong Kong dollars three times, congratulations to Mr. Li for winning this set of palace secret medicine..."
