Break out of the courtyard

As another male auctioneer came on stage, a large-bottomed color TV was moved onto the stage, causing a commotion in the audience.

"How do we bring a large color TV up here? Where is the 19-inch ultra-thin color TV?"

"We are here to see the ultra-thin color TV. What's wrong with the organizer?"

"Everyone, please be quiet!" The middle-aged male auctioneer with a slightly messy side-parted hair, holding a black microphone, said to the audience with a smile: "The bodyguard who delivered the auction items played a joke on everyone and sent the reference object up first."

"Next, let's take a look at the last lot of the night, a world-leading technology product, a 19-inch ultra-thin color TV!"

As the auctioneer finished speaking, a bodyguard came onto the stage carrying a large black briefcase. Behind him, someone else moved a table and came out carrying a video recorder and a small satellite dish.

After the table was set up, with the cooperation of two bodyguards, a 19-inch ultra-thin LED display was carefully taken out of the suitcase and the bracket and circuits were assembled.

Then, one bodyguard held the monitor stand while the other fiddled with the VCR and small satellite dish to play the image and demonstrate the picture quality.

As for the big-butt color TV that appeared first, it has been lying quietly on the ground, playing a supporting role.

"Okay, please turn down the volume on the TV. We are now going to start bidding on the last charity item of the night." The male auctioneer said excitedly:

"This lot was donated by Tingmei Trading Co., Ltd. The starting price is HK$1 million, and each bid increase must not be less than HK$1000 million!"

"Okay, I've seen Mr. Tang Yi from Hutchison Whampoa holding up a sign, HK$1 million."

According to the plan, the charity auction should have ended here.

But in this way, Zhang Heping would not have to contact the Middle Eastern tycoon through Chairman Shen of Huifeng Bank.

"Mr. Sato from Rijima holds up his sign... OK, Mr. Sato bids HK$2 million!"

"2 million! Mr. George from Magnesium bids 1 million!"

"2 million! Mr. Li from Handao offered 5 million! My family bought a color TV from Mr. Li's company last year. There have been no quality problems so far. I am looking forward to Mr. Li buying this ultra-thin color TV..."

"3 million! Mr. Sato from Rijima has offered another 3 million Hong Kong dollars! It seems that Mr. Sato is determined to get this ultra-thin color TV and directly raised the price by 5 million! As we all know, Rijima's color TVs are sold far and wide in Europe and America with their high quality and low prices, and occupy half of the global home appliance industry. If Mr. Sato from Rijima can buy this one..."

"Okay, Mr. George from Magnesium took a sip of water and raised the price by another 1 million! Now it's 3 million Hong Kong dollars for the first time!"

"4 million! Mr. Tang Ren, the chairman of Colorful Investment Co., Ltd., offered 4 million Hong Kong dollars! It seems that Mr. Tang does not intend to let the ultra-thin color TV be taken away and the technology is cracked too early. Those who paid attention to the news at the end of last year know that Colorful Investment Co., Ltd. and the friendly investment company in the mainland invested 10 billion magnesium yuan in Shenzhen last year..."

"5 million! Mr. Sato from Japan Island raised the bid by 1 million. What a generous act!" The male auctioneer used his left hand to straighten his messy side-parted hair, which made it even messier. Coupled with his excited tone and the discussions in the audience, he stirred up the atmosphere in the venue.

Wang Sumei, who was attending an auction for the first time, subconsciously glanced at Chen Shuting, and then looked at the smiling old lady Zheng.

62 lots were auctioned off today, raising HK$253 million for charity, about 49.6 yuan, which is still within the acceptable range for Director Wang Sumei.

The 38 lots auctioned that evening raised a total of HK$3123 million, or about 612.3 million magnesium dollars. Although this is not enough compared to the 1 million magnesium dollars donation promised by Zhang Heping, it is also an unexpected surprise.

Because the president of the Bank of China next door said the day before yesterday that the current domestic exchange rate is 1 magnesium dollar to 1 yuan.

By this calculation, these more than 6 million magnesium dollars can be exchanged for more than 9 million RMB!

If we build a Hope Primary School with a standard of 3 yuan and equip it with desks, chairs and books, we can build more than 300 schools!

However, Zhang Heping promised to donate 1 million magnesium yuan, and the current bidding price has been raised to 5 million magnesium yuan by the Korean people. Is Zhang Heping really willing to spend more than 5 million magnesium yuan in cash to buy back the ultra-thin color TV? Will he ask for part of it back afterwards?

"Relax!" Mrs. Zheng patted the back of Wang Sumei's left hand, tilted her head, and said with a smile: "Just go ahead and do it in the future. If you encounter any difficulties in the Hope Project, you can come to me!"

In fact, Mrs. Zheng had previously expressed reservations about the 1 million magnesium yuan that Zhang Heping had promised. After all, she had not seen the cash deposited into her account, so it seemed that it was just empty talk.

However, the value of the 19-inch ultra-thin color TV was somewhat beyond Mrs. Zheng's expectations.

Before, when Zhang Heping told her privately that domestic researchers and workers were too lax and their R&D efficiency was too low, and he wanted to sell the 3-inch color TV for 19 million magnesium yuan to stimulate the domestic market, Mrs. Zheng actually had reservations.

That small color TV can be sold for 3 million yuan?

The older generation had such doubts mainly because they were influenced by the Northern Alliance's electron tube technology.

After all, in those days, the Northern Alliance was powerful, and the vacuum tube technology they promoted was no weaker than semiconductor technology!

Especially in terms of anti-interference and anti-radiation in outer space, electron tube products are stronger than semiconductor products!

What Mrs. Zheng didn’t know was that Zhang Heping was the first to throw out the LED color screen technology, letting Rimei know what “chip and screen are one family” meant!

Nowadays, the Chinese have secretly photographed the relevant technical information of LED color screens, and they must have encountered many obstacles when implementing these technologies.

If at this time, we give them a 19-inch ultra-thin color TV, it will undoubtedly allow the Chinese people to steal the idea of ​​solving the problem and get the final answer. Will the problem-solving process still be difficult?

Emmm...it may still be a little difficult!

Zhang Heping took advantage of the Chinese people's love of getting something for nothing and invited wealthy Middle Eastern people who had a lot of money but didn't know where to spend it.

Just look, the Middle Eastern tycoon raised the bid for the 19-inch ultra-thin color TV to HK$10 billion the first time he raised his bid, which made the auctioneer on the stage very happy.

Although his commission from today's auction is only one thousandth, being able to auction a billion-level item once in his lifetime is enough for him to brag about in the auction world for the rest of his life!

The key point is, with so many cameras witnessing it, how could he not be excited.

On the other hand, Zhang Heping was standing at the stairs outside the venue, staring at the entrance of the venue while listening to the report from the bodyguard captain who had just returned from Kowloon Tong.

"The first group of people entered the lab building at 8:3, and they never came out after entering!"

"The second group of people entered at 8:38. A sniper tried to climb to the roof of our welfare home, but we killed him."

"The third group of people entered at 9:..." The bodyguard captain surnamed Zhuang said this, and couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Heping, who had a calm face, and swallowed his saliva before saying:

"After these three groups of people went in, none of them came out. Son-in-law, did you set up some traps in the laboratory building?"

"I just put some strong tranquilizers in." Zhang Heping said calmly: "Why are you back?"

When bodyguard captain Zhuang Bowei heard that there was only tranquilizer in the laboratory building, he became even more confused. Those people did not go in and inhale the tranquilizer at the same time, so how could they all die?

However, it is not appropriate to ask any more questions now, so I can only answer first:

"We discovered through the thermal imaging camera that there was another group of people in the building across the street. We wanted to wait for them to enter the laboratory building before eliminating the scouts and drivers outside, but then several police cars came with sirens blaring, so I led my men to retreat first!"

Seeing Zhang Heping frowning and not speaking, the bodyguard captain Zhuang Bowei couldn't help but add: "The main thing is that we didn't know that the people in the laboratory building were alive, and we still have the body of a sniper in our hands..."

Zhang Heping patted the bodyguard captain on the shoulder and said helplessly: "The phone line in Kowloon Tong has been disconnected since 8 o'clock and has not been connected until now."

"Huh?" Zhuang Bowei was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand the subtext of this sentence. Who called the police?

"Lao Zhuang!" Gu Guoliang, the bodyguard captain who had been following Zhang Heping and now worked in the security department of the Umbrella Company, frowned and asked, "Don't you have a radio transmitter? Why don't you send a telegram back to ask?"

"There's a power outage in Kowloon Tong!"

"You didn't prepare any batteries?"

"Are you ready?"

"14 billion! Chairman Tang of Colorful Investment Co., Ltd. offered 6 billion! There was a rumor that experts from the Magnesium country stole the color screen technology information from the mainland and then withdrew the investment from the Friendly Investment Company. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that Chairman Tang has spared no expense to prevent the 14-inch ultra-thin color TV from falling into the hands of the Magnesium people!"

Zhang Heping ignored the careless bodyguard captain of the Tang family, walked to the entrance of the venue, and quietly looked at the foreigners inside.

With his transcendental-level Chinese medicine skills and grandmaster-level drug synthesis skills, how could he have placed such a low-level drug as a powerful sedative in the sealed basement?

No matter how you prepare it, it is a mixed aphrodisiac incense with a delayed onset, otherwise how can the people behind you fall for it!

As for the Hong Kong police who went to Laboratory Building No. 10 in Kowloon Tong, it would be best if they were real Hong Kong police who acted in accordance with the rules.

otherwise……

"15 billion! The Middle Eastern prince offered 15 billion!"

boom!

A loud explosion, neither light nor heavy, was heard outside the hotel, like a muffled thunder in the sky, but it did not disturb the exciting atmosphere in the charity auction venue.

"15 billion, the second time! Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" The auctioneer looked at Tang Ren excitedly. When he saw that he shook his head helplessly, he looked at other people excitedly.

"15 billion, the third time...deal! Congratulations to the Middle Eastern prince for buying the world's first 15-inch ultra-thin color TV for 19 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

There was sparse applause from the audience. The Chinese businessmen were stunned, angry, and puzzled. They all looked towards the entrance of the venue.

But there was no Zhang Heping at the door...
