As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store Chapter 71

  Chapter 71 Charity Auction Party

  Received Jiang Lihui's voice early the next morning, Zhou Chao quickly clicked on it, "Hmph, big villain, why don't you come to see me if you miss me."

  Hearing Jiang Li's shy tone, Zhou Chao felt like a cat was scratching his heart, and he turned on the voice and said, "I'll come to you when I finish my work here."

  The two of them were bored like this for nearly an hour before they were forced to end, because Jiang Li was going to work, and Zhou Chao was also very helpless. He only hoped to finish his work in Kyoto as soon as possible and fly to Yucheng.

   Zhou Chao looked at the phone, then threw it aside, turned around and went back to sleep.

  6:00pm, Kyoto Hotel.

   Outside the hotel, there were already dense crowds of reporters, because this auction was an official charity auction for left-behind children. There were still a lot of people participating, and the weight was not low.

   Zhou Chao and the others got off the car and walked into the restaurant. The reporters standing on both sides looked at Tie Cong and Qin Nu who were walking in front and frantically took pictures, but Zhou Chao standing next to them rarely took pictures.

   Zhou Chao couldn't get used to the flashing camera for a while, and of course there was no such thing as directly blocking his eyes, and the group walked into the hotel directly.

  Having entered the hotel, he was brought to the auction venue by the waiter. As for the reception, of course, it will not be held until after the auction is over.

Because this auction has an invitation letter, each invitation letter can bring three people, so Zhou Chao successfully rubbed Qin against them, and the waiter quickly brought a group of them to the designated location. After a while in the second row, relatively speaking, this is already quite forward.

  Zhou Chao looked around and found that in the back rows, he could still see some celebrities who could only be seen on TV before. For example, Sister Mi Tao sat in the third row with Reba.

  If Zhou Chao saw these stars before, he would definitely be very excited, but with the accumulation of his own wealth, and some friends he has made, such as Qin Nu, Tie Cong, etc. Zhou Chao is now slowly developing his own temperament and cognition.

I looked at their row again, some of them were the managers of the company, and the other part might be the second generation from Kyoto, but unfortunately Zhou Chao didn't know anyone, and no one in the first row had come yet. Might have to wait until the end to play.

   Zhou Chao looked up and looked around. Under the light, Zhou Chao didn't see too many people he knew, so he chatted with Ticong and others again.

"Qin Anger, Tear Cong" A voice came from behind several people, and Tie Cong and others looked behind when they heard the words. Zhou Chao saw a man about 30 years old, with a tall and straight figure and a face like a knife and an axe. Like a split, there is an air of an iron-blooded soldier.

  "Brother Yang" saw Qin Nu and Ticong standing up and shouting softly, Zhou Chao also stood up when he heard Ticong's address, and Qin Lang also stood up quickly when they saw the situation.

   "Sit down, why are you standing?" Although Zhou Chao and the others heard it, they didn't sit down. They saw that Brother Yang cast his gaze on Zhou Chao, who looked at the man calmly.

   "Tear onion, this is a friend, why don't you introduce me."

   "Brother Yang, this is my friend Zhou Chao, from Shudu"

   "Oh" Brother Yang said meaningfully, and shook hands with Zhou Chao on his own initiative, then walked to the first row and sat down. This scene directly stunned Qin Nu and Tie Cong.

   "Damn it" came out of Tie Cong's mouth, then stared at Zhou Chao and looked again and again, muttering in his mouth, "Could it be that handsome can be so powerful?"

   Zhou Chao felt bewildered, and then turned his eyes to Qin Nu who was beside him, beckoning him to explain.

"Brother Yang, we were in the same courtyard as Brother Yang when we were young. We are the top second generation in Kyoto. I have never been bullied since I was a child. Fortunately, he joined the army later, and our life was easier. I heard that Brother Yang is now He is already the top person in charge of a certain special force, and the level of secrecy is very high, last time I accidentally heard that he is now a senior colonel." Tie Cong looked around and whispered in Zhou Chao's ear.

   "Then what's his last name?" Zhou Chao asked suspiciously.

   Tie Cong was silent for a moment and said, "Xiao."

   "Xiao, that Xiao?"

"The lifelike Xiao." Zhou Chao frowned, thinking thoughtfully that the fourth child's surname is the same. Are they related? Thinking, looked up.

   "Hey, it's Xiao Sa..." Zhou Chao looked at the host of the party and was a little surprised, but it wasn't surprising after thinking about it. After all, this was an official charity auction.

  At the party, some relevant leaders first preached the purpose of the charity auction party and some related matters. The speech ended in about 20 minutes, and then Xiao Sa walked onto the stage.

   "Next, I would like to invite Yang Zi to bring you a piece of "Mercury""

   "Crazy for your eyes"

   "The Milky Way has traces"

   "Through the Gap of Time"

   "It's still real"

   "Draw Me Track"

   "This fleeting scene"

   "How about it, you sang well, right?" Sai Cong said next to Zhou Chao.

   "I grew up watching her plays, but I've never heard her sing. It's really good." Zhou Chao nodded in agreement.

   Soon the song ended, Zhou Chao also applauded.

   Several actresses came on stage one after another, including Sister Mi Tao. When she finished singing, the whole party was full of applause.

   "After enjoying the moving music, we will enter our exciting moment tonight. I announce the official start of the auction, and now we will hand over the scene to our auctioneer." Xiao Sa's impassioned remarks made the atmosphere of the party instantly high.

   "The auction has officially started." Zhou Chao saw a professional auctioneer walk to the middle of the stage.

Some of the items auctioned were paintings by well-known painters or collected items, or some finished bracelets and necklaces. When they entered the door, everyone received a brochure, which was about the auction items tonight, which Zhou Chao liked the most. It was the glass bracelet with imperial green color, which he was going to take to give to Jiang Li.

   "To the leaders and guests, tonight's auction will officially start. Please invite us for the first item, which is a painting of mountains and flowing water by Master Zhong, the head of the painting association. The starting price is 100,000 yuan, and the price increase should not be less than 10,000 yuan."

   "110,000"

"120000"

   Soon the atmosphere rose, and it lasted for three rounds. Finally, 280,000 yuan was sold. Zhou Chao saw an old gentleman in the first row who was very happy. He guessed that this was the president.

   Soon, more than a dozen items were auctioned one after another. Even Qin Nu and Tie Cong spent hundreds of thousands to auction two items of little significance.

   "Chao, don't you try?" Qin Angrily looked at Zhou Chao who had been silent all this time.

   "I'm waiting for this." Qin Nu and the others followed Zhou Chao's finger to see that it was the finale of this auction, the glass kind of emperor green bracelet.

   Qin Nu and the others knew what Zhou Chao was thinking when they saw the bracelet, and they didn't say anything else, and soon they came to the last item, the imperial green bracelet.

   "Our finale is this imperial green bracelet. The starting price is 5 million, and each increase is no less than 100,000."

   For a while, the whole venue was full of turmoil. Everyone knew that this was the silence before dawn, and finally someone couldn't hold it anymore.

  “5.5 million” A female celebrity sitting in the third row raised a sign, but was quickly covered by the new price.

"6000000"

   "7 million"

"800w"

   "10 million" suddenly added 2 million. Many people looked at the card that was raised, but it turned out that it was Zhou Chao in the second row.

  The moment the price came out, a group of people were lost. After all, not everyone is willing to spend more than 10 million yuan to buy a bracelet. Of course, if you have money, that's another matter.

   "10.5 million"

  "15 million" before other people increased the price, Zhou Chao directly doubled the price by half.

   At this time, the entire hall was filled with whispers. The price had already exceeded the value of the bracelet itself, so many people stopped bidding.

   "Is there anyone raising the price again?" the auctioneer shouted loudly.

   A voice sounded from the first row of "16 million". Zhou Chao heard the sound and looked over. It was a middle-aged man, but Zhou Chao didn't mind, and raised his hand again.

   There was an uproar at the "20 million" scene, and everyone knew that Zhou Chao was bound to win.

"20 million, does anyone increase the price, 20 million for one time, 20 million for the second time, and 20 million for the third time, let us congratulate this gentleman for the 20 million price of this glass emperor green jadeite bracelet, let us put Applause to him."

  The whole venue burst into applause, Zhou Chao had no choice but to stand up and bowed slightly.

   "This is the end of the auction, please start tonight's party." The dynamic music sounded for a while.
