Chapter 2322
The items for this auction were donated by Trump, Rogers, and some wealthy people.
Although some of them are not expensive, they are of great collection value. Some of them may not even have collection value, but they can be exchanged for favors.
Take the first item for example, this is a talk show CD recorded by Trump himself. The starting price reached 500,000 gold coins, and it was finally sold for 2 million gold coins.
In terms of value, even the album of a superstar may not be sold at this price, but because of Trump, a presidential candidate, he is worth this price.
And there are many people who want to buy it.
Trump's CD sold at a very good price, which made a good start for this auction.
The second item was taken out by Alice, which was a deerskin hunted by her grandfather. Because of the status of the Morgan family, the starting price of this deerskin reached 1 million gold coins.
After several battles, it was finally sold for 7 million gold coins.
Seeing this, Ye Peng beside Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel that his eyes were opened.
Two million for CDs and seven million for deerskin. Probably only the rich people in the M country dare to play like this!
Ye Xiao was no longer surprised by this. Some people who want to get things done are willing to give money to dignitaries even if they get nothing. What's more, they can get something back now.
However, when the third item appeared, Ye Xiao was still a little shocked.
This is a T-shirt, a military green camouflage T-shirt. According to the host, it was worn by the president of the Wulang country when he inspected the front line.
Hearing this, although the host has not yet said who took out this item, Ye Xiao can guess it with 90% certainty.
It must be Brent.
This way of playing is more clever than simply paying a high price to buy the auction item. It is undoubtedly the art of flattery, which has been brought to the peak. Ye Xiao believes that if he is the arms procurement representative of Wulang Country, he will definitely be moved.
But if he is asked to spend money to buy it, it must be that Ye Xiao is crazy.
A worn T-shirt, what's the use!
But it is different in the eyes of the M country. You know, in M country, supporting Wulang Country to fight Xuelang Country is absolutely the right thing to do, and maybe someone will really bid for it.
As Ye Xiao expected, this T-shirt was really auctioned by Brent, and it was finally sold at a high price of one million gold.
"Mr. Brent, thank you, you have done a very meaningful thing for our Wulang Country, I believe Mr. President will be very happy when he knows it."
Under the auction table, the arms procurement representative of Wulang Country said earnestly.
Hearing this, Brent waved his hand and said, "Mr. Minov, you're welcome. I support your country's just war very much. Now I'm just doing a small thing within my ability."
Although Brent spoke in a calm tone, he couldn't help but feel complacent in his heart.
He believed that his move had definitely moved Minov. When the time came, he would send someone to convey the message to the Black Wolf Country. Wouldn't it be easy for him to get this arms order?
While Brian on the side had a gloomy face and frowned, even he had to admire Brent's trick.
"Brian, don't be discouraged. Although Brent made a good move, he overlooked one point." At this time, Lisa beside Brian said softly.
"Oh!" Brian was immediately interested after hearing this.
"What did you overlook?" He couldn't help asking.
In Brian's view, this flattery from his brother Brent could be said to make anyone moan with comfort!
How could there be any negligence?
Lisa grinned and continued, "Although Minov and the president of Wulang Country have gained fame, they have not gained profit!"
"After all, this one million Mijin will not go to the accounts of Minov and the president of Wulang Country."
From the fact that Minov had deliberately cooperated with Lisa and pretended to be strangers, Lisa could see that he was a greedy person. If fame and profit were placed in front of him at the same time, Minov would choose the latter without hesitation.
After hearing this, Brian couldn't help but think of something. Could it be that Lisa's strategy for Minov has made progress?
Thinking of this, his annoyance was relieved.
As time passed, half an hour later, it finally came to the last lot.
"Dear guests, this lot is a calligraphy written by Mr. Rogers, one of the initiators of this auction. Mr. Rogers visited a calligraphy master during his stay in Longguo and learned it.Superb calligraphy. "
At this time, the host's voice came from the auction table.
Calligraphy?
When Ye Xiao heard the host announce the auction items, he felt that he had heard it wrong.
He had seen Rogers' handwriting before, and he had only started practicing when he was in the No. 1 Prison in the World. It can only be said that it was just average!
How dare he auction it?
Would he have asked someone to write it for him?
Also, how could Rogers worship a calligraphy master?
He came to ask for advice. I remember that Ye Xiao In the No. 1 prison in the world, a rule was set that all prisoners who wanted to go out for a walk or make other requests had to write a written report.
And in order to facilitate Ye Xiao to read it himself, the written report must be written in Chinese characters.
At that time, Rogers also followed the local customs and learned to write Longguo Chinese characters.
As the host unfolded Rogers' calligraphy works, Ye Xiao's mouth twitched. He was very sure that this was written by Rogers himself.
"Mr. Rogers' calligraphy, the starting price is 5 million Mi Jin, everyone please bid!" After the host's voice fell, the finale of this auction began to bid.
Ye Xiao's mouth twitched again, "These capitalists are really wicked!"
"CDs, deerskin, T-shirts, and now calligraphy written by a person, there is no real, serious collection value, okay? "
But it is precisely these things that are very popular.
Take Rogers' calligraphy for example! As soon as the host finished speaking, someone raised the price by one million and offered six million Mi Jin.
And this number is still rising. It was not until Yang Jing offered ten million Mi Jin that the scene cooled down a little.
"Yang Jing is willing to spend ten million Mi Jin to buy such an ordinary calligraphy?"
If it is said that it was done by a foreigner, Ye Xiao would understand, but Yang Jing grew up in Longguo after all. He is the kind of person who has seen and tasted it. Doesn't he think the price is too high?
What Ye Xiao didn't expect was that after Yang Jing, Lisa actually offered a price of twelve million.
"Hey, why do you want this calligraphy! If you really want it, I'll ask Rogers to write a few for you for free." Ye Xiao leaned down and whispered.
"Cousin, have you forgotten the purpose of our participation in the charity auction? "Lisa responded with a wry smile.
"I don't care whose calligraphy this is or how it is written. As long as it is the finale of the auction, I must take it down. This way, I can get the attention of the bigwigs in various circles and make it easier for us to do what we do next."
Lisa has also been in Longguo for half a year. How can she not see that Rogers' calligraphy is very ordinary? If you just walk around a park in Longguo, you can meet an old man who writes better than Rogers.
But just because it was written by Rogers and it was the finale of the auction, no matter how high the price is, Lisa will pay for it.
Even if Ye Xiao can get Rogers' calligraphy for free afterwards, it will not be more eye-catching than this.
