At the auction, the voices of bidding rise from time to time.
The first few items on sale were paintings and calligraphy by foreigners. Henry showed no interest at all and did not bid for the wine. Thought, do good also can't all inclusive, no, others hard to come back, always can't empty handed!
"Tut Tut, just a few modern paintings and calligraphy works can be sold at such a high price!" Helen shook her head and smacked her tongue!
Henry said with a smile: "where do they buy calligraphy and painting works? In fact, what they buy is face! Doing charity in the United States can avoid taxes. It doesn't matter if you ask for more money. You see, Ted Lynch looks up at the people who are shouting high prices, smiles and encourages them to do so! People also like to hold the governor's bad feet and shout for the price
"Aren't you going to hold the governor's feet..." Helen chuckled.
"I'm totally different from them, OK!" Henry said justly, "I really want to do charity work. If I am poor, I can help the whole world. The disabled children are so pitiful. I'm going to build a school for disabled children to give them more care. Everyone has self-esteem. It's better to teach people 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 and don't have to rely on others too much.... "
At the end, Henry's eyes were red and sighed. In spite of this life, he has never been in contact with disabled children. But in his previous life, he participated in the Wenchuan earthquake relief operation, and also went to a special school for disabled children. There, he witnessed how disabled children overcome their own obstacles, stand on their own, and work hard! That kind of spirit and the moving pictures now make Henry's eyes moist!
Helen looked at Henry almost in tears. It was the first time she saw the other side of Henry. In her eyes, Henry has always been confident, strong, indifferent, it seems that nothing can make him sad! Helen subconsciously held Henry in her arms and comforted, "OK, we'll build a special school for disabled children!"
Henry blinked, calmed down and said slowly, "there is more than one school. I want to build this kind of school all over the world!"!!! Cisco care for children special school, Nicholas care for children special school, global online... "
Henry said a lot. When Helen heard that, she couldn't help laughing and said, "do you advertise for your company or something? In front of the school are the names of your company!"
"Charity and advertising? Is that a problem? " Henry said, "if a person does a good deed and does not get respect and due honor, then who is willing to do it? Not all of us are gods and saints... We are just ordinary people, there will be vanity, I just set an example for you! Perhaps someone has done good because of a little vanity. No matter what his purpose is, he has indeed done good. Isn't it a contribution to the society? "
"Well, there's a little bit of truth in what you say!" Helen nodded and said, "well, good man, when are you going to bid? Five things have been auctioned!"
Henry stares at a dragon head on the stage. His face changes and his tone is firm. He says: "we must bid this time!"
Although Henry was born in a foreign country, he still has a quarter of his blood, and he was a 100% Chinese child in his previous life. Henry didn't feel like he was in caoying and his heart was in Han. When he saw the dragon head, Henry's heart trembled in vain. In his mind, there was a song: "although the dress is on, my heart is still Chinese heart..."
The animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals are scattered in the world, and the shame of that year is still not snow. When Henry saw the dragon head, he decided to buy it anyway.
At this time, the host said: "this collection is one of the twelve animal heads of the Chinese zodiac in the Yuanmingyuan of the Qing Dynasty. It's made of bronze. The carving is fine and lifelike. It has great collection value! Now, the starting price is $500000! "
The host's voice just dropped, Henry didn't even think about it. He yelled, "one million dollars!"
As a result, people are surprised to raise the price to one million yuan. Generally speaking, it is an increase of 100000 yuan!
"Simon Geoffrey, that guy's calling the price!" Simon Jeffrey, the young director of cutting-edge technology, pointed to Henry and said.
Simon Jeffrey's face turned cold, and his eyes were fixed on Henry and Helen in his arms.
"Simon Jeffrey, the girl you're after is playing coquetry in other people's arms. If I were you, I would never see it. I'd teach him a lesson!"
"Geoffrey, you're not going to give me advice, are you?"
"Ha ha..." the crowd said and burst into laughter.
Simon Jeffrey said angrily: "I'll give you a piece of advice, will I give you a piece of advice!"
Simon Jeffrey said, then raised his right hand and yelled, "1.5 million!"
Henry followed his voice and saw that he was the young director of cutting-edge technology, Helen's pursuer. Henry was a little surprised, but he soon calmed down. How does an ant challenge a dragon? Henry bird does not bird him, light way: "3 million!"
As soon as Henry finished calling the price, the hall was quiet. At this time, the zodiac animal head is not as valuable as it will be in the future. In people's eyes, one million dollars is enough. Simon Jeffrey's shout of 1.5 million also surprised everyone. But he was shocked by the three million that Henry called out!
It's just a bronze statue. Is it three million dollars? People are really puzzled!
At this time, Simon Jeffrey's friends said to Simon, "hurry up, Jeffrey, do you want to be counselled?"
"Three... Three and a half million!" Simon Geoffrey was so excited by the crowd that he couldn't help shouting the price. However, he looks like a pig's liver. If his father knows that he spent millions on a scrap metal, he must be killed
"Well done, Jeffrey!"
"Geoffrey, bull!"
Simon Jeffrey is full of vanity when people praise him. Just as he wanted to continue to enjoy this sense of vanity, he saw Henry yelling to him, "if you have the guts, just keep following!" Then Henry raised his right hand and said to the host, "I'll give you ten million dollars!"
People were shocked by this! Although many people are rich, they will not spend like this!!!
More money, no land to burn, or jealousy?
Helen quickly pulled Henry, "Henry, don't be angry about such a high price! I see what you mean... "Helen said, but she lowered her head shyly. At the moment, her heart is happy, she thought Henry is for her to shout out the price!
Henry smiles without explanation and kisses her on the cheek.
At this time, Ted Lynch looked at Henry, and Henry looked up and saw him. Then, they laughed at each other, but Henry and Ted Lynch had different ideas! Ted Lynch thought Henry was making his stand and supported him with his actions. But Henry thought, Clinton should be worried now! Ten million to buy a bronze animal head, which fool can do it? But obviously Henry is not a fool. What's the purpose of his doing this?
In Simon Jeffrey's opinion, it's a contest with him. In Clinton's view, this is Henry's support for Ted Lynch.
There was no sound in the room.
Simon Jeffrey blushed and wanted to find a hole to get in. His friends did not dare to speak, but looked at Henry in surprise. The host of the auction is a man who has experienced the battle for a long time. When he met a local tyrant like Henry, he was stunned and quickly responded. Then he said aloud, "this gentleman has offered us $10 million. Is there anything higher?"
After a pause, the host glanced at the crowd, but no one seemed ready to continue to bid. So, he said: "I finally count down three, if there is still no one to bid, then this dragon head belongs to this gentleman!"
"Three
"Two!"
"One!"
"Congratulations, sir. This collection belongs to you. Later, we can finish the transaction backstage!"
"Well!" Henry nodded to show that he understood.
After the dragon head auction, the auction will continue. Now everyone knows that Henry is a local tyrant. Sure enough, in the following auctions, Henry was also a local tyrant. When he saw what he liked, he threw a lot of money, such as Tang Bohu's picture of beauty, blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and so on.
After the auction, the charity party was almost over. Henry went backstage to complete the auction and asked them to deliver things to the designated address. Then Henry took Helen home.
When she got out of the car, Helen gave Henry a kiss affectionately.
"This is for you today!" Helen smiles and blushes.
Henry looked at the figure of Helen running away with her skirt. She gave me a French kiss with a smile. It's so rare!!! Ha ha
Henry was amused, and then told the driver to drive home( Ask for ticket and collection!!! The author established a group of book friends: 424930141, welcome to join...)
