Chapter 48： charity dinner

Today is March 30th. Although five days have passed since the Oscars night, when the two people were traveling out of the car, several cars and motorcycles were immediately attached to the back. You don’t need to go to see, Ryan also knows that he is waiting. The paparazzi outside the villa followed.

Strictly speaking, today’s charity dinner has a great relationship with him. It was the orphan topic that exploded two days ago that prompted the entertainment and media circles to act together. Time Warner led the organization of this donation event for orphans across the United States.

As night fell, Ryan and the two arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where the dinner was held.

Just like all public charity dinners, there is a short red carpet before entering the hotel, but Ryan and Nicole did not stay too much, just let the reporter take a few photos, and they were led by the waiter Next, walked into the grand banquet hall.

This is a large banquet hall with hundreds of square feet. It is said that sometimes the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held here. There is not only a spacious stage, but also many independent rest rooms on both sides.

Because there were media reports on the scene, the dinner was very formal. Listening to the soothing music played by the band on the stage, Ryan followed the waiter to the table that belonged to both of them. This position was not very good. It was a bit biased, but it was in line with the two. People's status in Hollywood now.

There are strange faces everywhere in the eye. Even if there are occasional acquaintances, Ryan just beckons. The presence of the media makes this a serious public occasion instead of an easy charity party.

"It's boring." Ryan shrugged and could only chat with Nicole.

"Okay, my dear, don't look like this, you are a big star now." Nicole smiled, and just saw Jinsli walk into the banquet hall and quickly stood up and beckoned to her.

Ryan looked at the several large cameras that were set up, and said he wouldn’t be able to broadcast live, right? Is this a charity or a show?

Well, in fact, he knows very well that for most people in this circle, charity is just a show. After all, there are very few people like Michael Jackson who really want to help others.

Not talking about others, just talking about himself and Nicole are definitely not the kind of people who really do charity, but if you donate a sum of money to give yourself a halo, as long as you have a normal head, you won’t Refuse.

"Are the items you donated ready?" Jinsli asked after sitting down.

The evening party is not a direct donation, so there is no show value, but a charity auction after the small performance prepared by the organizer. As for the auction items, you have to see the donations of celebrities.

"This is mine." Nicole took out a jewelry box, a pair of emerald earrings.

"The original manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"." Ryan took out a file bag from Nicole's handbag and handed it directly to Jinsli. She can do this.

"Ryan, you are really willing." Jinsli's eyes jumped. In her opinion, this manuscript may be inconspicuous now, but as Harry Potter gets hotter, it will become a treasure in the future.

"It doesn't matter, in my idea, Harry Potter has many parts, besides, I can buy them back." Ryan waved his hand indifferently.

After Jinsli left, Ryan was quickly attracted by a person next to the table. He was different from other men’s dresses in suits and leather shoes. He was wearing a black turtleneck pullover, blue Reeves jeans, and his feet were still Wearing sports running shoes, on such a formal occasion, it looks different, or nondescript.

Especially the disc eyes he wears, making his image a classic worshipped by countless people in previous lives.

"The future will inevitably be the information age. The IT industry will not be depressed forever. At most two to three years, it will enter a period of rapid development, just like the present..."

The Apple founder is giving his missionary speech to the people around him. His drooling and passionate look is really impressive. Fortunately, he still knows what the occasion is and keeps his voice down as much as possible.

"Who is he? Why does he look crazy?" Nicole Kidman asked curiously.

"Steve Jobs! The founder of Apple Computer." Ryan was very interested and listened for a while.

I have to say that although Jobs is arrogant, paranoid, and irritable, and his reputation is not very good, the scandal of the illegitimate daughter has never been broken, but he is indeed a very remarkable person, even if he was swept out by Apple, he is now in his life. The lowest point, but never discouraged.

"Apple is in the quagmire of losses, Microsoft is tepid, and Intel and Texas Instruments have not made breakthroughs in chip technology. I don't think the IT industry will flourish." The people at the table obviously disagreed with his opinion and began to refute. .

"No, no, no." Ryan suddenly leaned out and interrupted, "I think everyone has used computers? How are computers now compared to ten years ago? And over time, computer technology will only be updated. Faster and faster, one day in the future, not too far away, at most ten years, computers will become a necessity in our work and life."

"But now many companies have problems, such as Apple, which is losing money continuously." The person who rebutted him turned out to be a child. While a little shocked, more of them were unkind.

"It's true. Today's Apple is not as good as before." Ryan nodded first, and when the guy showed a triumphant smile, he said, "Because Apple has had a big problem with its technical update, and now it's just eating the old one. Boss, they want to get out of this predicament. In my opinion, it's very simple."

"Very simple?" The man pouted his lips, obviously not taking what a kid said seriously.

"Of course." Ryan looked at Steve Jobs, "As long as Apple invites his founder back, all this will be solved."

As if to cooperate with him, Jobs's chin was slightly raised, but Ryan knew that the opponent was just a habitual movement.

That person also had an argument with a child in this regard. After a little hum, he left the table.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs." Ryan didn't move forward, but owed slightly, "I'm Ryan Jenkins, I'm glad to meet you."

Steve Jobs just nodded to him. Although the other party's words fit his appetite, he has no interest in dealing with a teenage boy.

Although the information seen in the previous life may not be reliable, Ryan does not mind that it can reflect some of Jobs's personality. If even five years older, he will go to the relationship with Jobs to talk about the future, but now, I have it. Well, who cares about an eleven-year-old child.

"I don't like him, he is too arrogant." When Ryan turned around, Nicole glared at him without a trace.

"It's true that few people like him."

Ryan shook his head. If Jobs didn't offend people, how could he be swept out by the company he founded?

He holds a treasure in his hand! However, he who is losing money now has blood in his heart, and it is said that he wants to let go.

The banquet officially began soon. Several celebrities said very briefly, and the singing and dancing performance kicked off. Several popular singers sang one after another. Ryan also saw several familiar faces, such as Whitney. Houston, Maria Kelly and Celine Dion.

After a short singing and dancing, it was a charity auction, and the host was not a professional auctioneer, but Ubi Goldenberg.

To be honest, her style is not suitable for hosting such occasions. Ryan looked at the directors of Time Warner ahead and said to his heart that their heads were flooded?

Here, it is difficult to see the real high prices at the auction. Even if someone is tit-for-tat, they still have a taste. However, this situation soon broke down for a simple reason.

"Wow, the following lot is absolutely unique in this world." Ubi Gordonborg's eyes widened, "If I can, can I take it home?"

"Okay, no kidding, the following lot is from Ryan Jenkins, the original manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"."

is indeed very different, especially for those with children in the family, their eyes light up.

There was no reserve price for this auction, and soon a brand was erected.

"20,000 dollars!"

But then more signs were erected.

"50 thousand dollars!"

"100,000!"

"$150,000Nicole raised the number plate in her hand without even thinking about it, "$200,000! "

Two hundred thousand dollars to buy a manuscript of a novel that has become popular is not worth it, no one knows, but not only adults but also minors came to the scene.

The little girl in the front row belonged to the Hilton family table. After begging a few words in her father's ear, she raised her number plate, "US$250,000!"

Nicole Kidman will naturally not let Ryan's manuscript fall into the hands of others, and bid again, "300,000 US dollars!"

The little girl whispered a few words in her father's ear, but her father shook his head resolutely. The girl turned her head and gave Nicole a fierce look. She was very cute.

Harry Potter’s original manuscript is indeed precious, but it’s incomparable in value to the artworks donated by celebrities and wealthy people. If Ryan takes out this manuscript in ten years or twenty years, it will be in that form. Will be transferred.

Besides, in the eyes of others, he is only eleven years old, and he is so prolific, there is still uncertainty about how many manuscripts he will have in the future.

Similarly, Ryan won't let Nicole's belongings fall into the hands of other people, and after some bidding, he put the emerald earrings into the bag.

With the two checks sent out, their task can be said to have been successfully completed. Ryan whispered in Nicole's ear and walked towards the bathroom, but when she came out, she found a little girl waiting next to the sink.
