Silicon Valley
Chapter 77 Auction
At the auction, the bidding sound came and went.
The first few auction items were paintings and calligraphy by foreigners. Henry expressed no interest at all, and he didn't make any bids while drinking. I thought to myself that doing good deeds can’t be all-inclusive, isn’t it, others can’t come back empty-handed after so much trouble!
Tsk tsk, just a few modern paintings and calligraphy works can be sold for such a high price!!! Helen shook her head and secretly clicked her tongue!
Henry smiled and said: Where did they buy paintings and calligraphy works, they actually bought face! Doing charity in the United States can avoid taxes, and it doesn't matter if you ask for a little more price. You see, Ted Lynch to those who bid high They all looked up, smiled, and encouraged them to bid as high as possible! Everyone also likes to hold the governor's stinky feet and keep on bidding!
Aren't you going to hold the governor's stinky feet... Helen burst out laughing.
I'm completely different from them!!! Henry said righteously, I really want to do charity work. I am poor and I can help the world. Disabled children are so pitiful, I am going to build a disabled school. Children's school, give them more care. Everyone has self-esteem, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them to fish. I want to build a school that can teach them survival skills, so that they can support themselves without relying too much on others...
At the end, Henry's eyes were slightly red and he sighed. Although this life, he has never been in contact with disabled children. But in the previous life, he participated in the Wenchuan-Chuan earthquake relief operation, and also went to a special school for children with intellectual disabilities, where he witnessed how the children with disabilities overcome their own obstacles, become self-reliant, and strive for progress! That kind of spirit and those touching pictures made Henry's eyes wet when he thinks of it now!
Helen looked at Henry almost to tears, this was the first time she saw the other side of Henry. In her eyes, Henry has always been confident, strong, and indifferent, and it seems that nothing can make him sad! Helen subconsciously hugged Henry in her arms and comforted: Okay, we will build a special school for disabled children!
Henry blinked his eyes, calmed down, and said slowly: Not just one school, I want to build this kind of school all over the world!!! Cisco Special School for Children, Nicholas Special School for Children, Global Online... …”
Henry said a lot, and Helen couldn't help laughing after hearing it: Are you advertising for a company under your name or something, the front of the school is the name of the company under your name!
Doing charity and advertising is the same thing? Is there any problem? Henry said, If a person does a good deed, if he does not get the respect and the honor he deserves, then who will be willing to do good deeds in the future? Not everyone is willing to do good deeds. It's God, they're all saints... We're all just ordinary people, and we all have vanity, and I'm just setting an example for everyone! Maybe someone does good deeds just because of a little vanity, no matter what the purpose is, but He has indeed done good deeds, isn't it a contribution to society?
Well, what you said makes some sense! Helen nodded and said, Then, may I ask Da Shanren, when did you bid? Five items have already been auctioned!
Henry stared at a dragon head on the stage, his face changed, and his tone was firm: This time we must bid!!!
Although Henry was born in a foreign country, he still has a quarter of Yanhuang blood, and he was a 100% Chinese child in his previous life. Henry didn't feel like he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han. The moment he saw the dragon head, Henry's heart trembled in vain, and a lyric suddenly sounded in his mind: Although the dress is on my body, my heart is still China. Heart……
The heads of the twelve zodiac animals are scattered in the world, and the shame of that year has not yet snowed. Henry saw the dragon head and decided to buy it anyway.
At this time, the host introduced: This collection is one of the dragon heads of the twelve zodiac animals in the Yuanmingyuan of the Qing Dynasty. It is cast in bronze, with fine carvings and lifelikeness. It has a very great collection value! Now, the starting price is 500,000 US dollars!! !
The host's voice just fell, Henry didn't even think about it, and shouted loudly: One million dollars!!!
As soon as it came, the price was raised to one million, and everyone was shocked. Generally speaking, it was an increase of 100,000!
Simon Jeffrey, that guy has made an offer! The pig friends beside the cutting-edge technology young director Simon Jeffrey pointed to Henry and said.
Simon Jeffrey's face turned cold, and his sinister eyes looked at Henry and Helen in his arms.
Simon Jeffrey, the girl you're after is acting like a spoiled child in someone else's arms. If it were me, I would never see it, and I would definitely teach him a lesson!
Jeffrey, you won't be cowardly!
Haha... Everyone said, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Simon Jeffrey said angrily: Counsel, will I be a coward!!!
Simon Jeffrey said, then raised his right hand and shouted: 1.5 million!!!
Henry followed the voice and saw that he was the young director of cutting-edge technology and Helen's suitor. Henry couldn't help being slightly startled, but he calmed down immediately. How does an ant challenge a dragon? Henry Bird didn't bother him, and said lightly: 3 million!!!
Henry had just finished shouting the price, and the hall was silent for a while. At this time, the heads of the twelve zodiac animals are not as valuable as they are now. In the eyes of everyone, one million dollars is enough. Simon Jeffrey surprised everyone when he shouted one and a half million dollars. But he was quickly shocked by the three million that Henry shouted!
It's just a bronze statue, how about three million dollars? People are really puzzled!
At this time, Simon Jeffrey's pig friends and dog friends said to Simon: Hurry up and bid, Jeffrey, hurry up and shout, are you going to be a coward?
Three hundred... three and a half million! Simon Jeffrey couldn't help shouting the price after receiving the excitement. However, his face was like a pig's liver. If his father knew that he spent millions on a piece of junk, he would have to kill him...
Jeffrey, great job!
Jeffrey, awesome!
As soon as everyone touted it, Simon Jeffrey was full of vanity. Just when he wanted to continue to enjoy this sense of vanity, he saw Henry shouting to him loudly: If you have the seeds, continue to follow!!! Immediately, Henry raised his right hand and said to the host, I will pay a thousand Ten thousand U.S. dollars!!!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! Although many people are very rich, they will not spend it like this! ! !
Too much money to burn, or are you jealous?
Helen hurriedly pulled Henry, Henry, don't get angry and ask for such a high price! I understand what you mean... Helen lowered her head shyly as she spoke. At this moment, she was very happy in her heart, she thought that Henry shouted this price for her!
Henry smiled, without explaining, and kissed her on the cheek.
At this time, Ted Lynch looked at Henry, and Henry looked up to see him. Immediately, the two smiled at each other, but both Henry and Ted Lynch laughed in their own way! Ted Lynch thought Henry was making a statement and supported him with his actions. And Henry thought, Clinton should be in a hurry now! Ten million to buy a bronze beast head, what kind of fool can do it? But obviously Henry is not a fool, so what is his purpose in doing this?
In Simon Jeffrey's point of view, it was arguing with him. In Clinton's view, it was Henry expressing his support for Ted Lynch.
The whole place was silent.
Simon Jeffrey blushed, looking for a hole to get in. His friends didn't dare to speak anymore, they just looked at Henry in surprise. The auction host is a seasoned person who has encountered a tycoon like Henry who spends a lot of money, but he was stunned for a while, but he quickly reacted and said loudly: This gentleman offered ten million dollars, Is there a higher bid?
The host paused and glanced at everyone, but no one seemed to be ready to continue bidding. So, he said: I count down three times in the end. If there is still no bid, then this dragon head belongs to this gentleman!!!
three!
two!
one!!!
Congratulations to this gentleman, this collection belongs to you, and later, we can complete the transaction in the background!
Yeah! Henry nodded, expressing his understanding.
After the dragon head auction, the auction continued, and now everyone knew that Henry was a local tyrant. Sure enough, in the auction below, Henry also acted like a local tyrant, throwing a lot of money when he saw things he liked, such as Tang Bohu's beautiful pictures, Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain and so on.
After the auction, the charity gala was almost over. Henry went to the backstage to complete the auction transaction and asked them to send the things to the designated address. Afterwards, Henry sent Helen home.
When getting out of the car, Helen gave Henry a kiss affectionately.
It's for you today!!! Helen smiled sweetly, her face blushing.
Henry looked at the back of Helen running away with her skirt on, and smiled slightly. This girl actually took the initiative to give me a deep French kiss, which is really rare! ! ! Ha ha……
Henry secretly entertained, and then ordered the driver to drive home! (Ask for a ticket and a collection!!! The author has built a book group: 424930141, everyone is welcome to join...)
