Chapter 1330 Superboy

The auction was entrusted to Christie's, with all proceeds going to charity.

As for the items to be auctioned, this requires donations from people present. Celebrities usually donate limited-edition bags and valuable jewelry, while wealthy families will donate works of art worth millions.

However, this is not the same as a real auction. The highest bidder does not win.

For example, the Lin family donated a vase worth HK$5 million. At the beginning, everyone enthusiastically submitted bids. When the Lin family raises their cards, even if they only bid 1 million Hong Kong dollars, no one else will follow. This belongs to the Lin family. They spent their own money to buy back their own things.

They offered 1 million, indicating that his family wanted to donate 1 million. They offered 10 million, indicating that his family wanted to donate 10 million. The vase is a donation tool.

Wu Yu asked in a low voice: "Husband, why is it so troublesome? If you want to donate, can you just donate directly? Why should you donate the items first and then spend money to buy them back?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Some people spend money to buy their own things, just as a formality. Some people really don't have much money, but they want to do charity and show love, so they can only donate things. But this kind of expensive If the items are of no significance to the charity, they are converted into cash through auctions. Anyone who likes them can buy them."

Wu Yu's beautiful eyes widened, "So many of the celebrities in front of us are not here to donate, but to buy things? They donated the money but got the things. Is this a transaction?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Absolutely. It's not easy for those little celebrities to make some money. It's very difficult to ask them to donate tens or even millions. This method can reduce their financial pressure."

"We give money directly there."

"Well, it hasn't developed yet. This kind of charity auction is more interesting and can make many people understand the meaning of charity and learn to help others. At the beginning, they may just want to come shopping. As time goes by, they will participate. That’s true charity.”

"oh."

Wu Yu's interest suddenly cooled down a lot.

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "What's wrong?"

Wu Yu whispered: "These auction items are all second-hand goods. If they are famous paintings, antiques, etc., those bags, jewelry, etc. are all used and unwanted by others. I don't want to buy them." "

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It means your level is high."

Wu Yumei looked suspicious, "Why do you say that?"

Zhou Buqi asked: "Suppose the tiara of Empress Dowager Cixi or Queen Elizabeth of England is a second-hand item. If it comes to auction, would you buy it?"

Wu Yu smiled and said, "I want the Queen of England's."

"Same reason." Zhou Buqi nodded, "First-line female stars will eagerly want to buy jewelry used by rich wives, wanting to feel the feeling of being a rich wife, or to get close. First-line female stars have used it Second- and third-tier female stars also want to buy the bags. It doesn’t matter if they are second-hand goods, just drop them down step by step.”

Wu Yu twisted her nose angrily, "Look down on people."

A total of 45 exhibits will be auctioned tonight, and the auction is expected to last two hours.

It’s similar to Zhou Buqi’s analysis.

Under his influence, Wu Yu, Xu Baihui, and Yang Mi around him were all of a higher level, and they all looked down on those second-hand items.

As for the valuable and valuable works of art, they are all put out for display by wealthy families and then taken back by themselves, so they cannot snatch them away.

Tang Yan was very interested in several types of jewelry, but she was too poor to afford them, so she could only flatter Yang Mi and whisper to see if there was a chance to get closer to her.

Half an hour passed.

The person who was waiting finally arrived, Li Zhekai, the second son of the Li family. Because he is fast, accurate and ruthless in doing business and has learned the essence of his father, he is known as "Little Superman" in the world.

After the meeting, Superboy was furious.

I think the organizer of this charity auction is such a bastard!

How dare you do this to Mr. Zhou!

I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!

You know, in front of Mr. Zhou, even the Li family has to be patient.

Previously, the Li family had taken a fancy to an emerging Internet company in Sweden called Spotify. The financing was already negotiated and the money was signed immediately. Unexpectedly, Spotify suddenly received a letter saying that the cooperation was canceled because they had found a better investor!

At that time, the Li family was furious.

I feel that these Swedes lack the spirit of contract.

After investigation, I was shocked to find that the person who stole my business was the mainland Internet giant Ziweixing. This is not a competition at the same level at all. The two sides are even several orders of magnitude apart.

The Li family's business is very strong because of its strong comprehensive strength and wide business coverage. If you look at the Internet industry alone, the Li family is no match for Ziweixing.

However, there is an inside story.

Superboy participated in the whole process.

After what happened, his father was very angry and felt that he would refuse any business or human relations with Ziweixing in the future. This kind of thing has happened not once or twice to the Li family.

As the biggest tycoon in the Hong Kong government, his father reads the newspaper the first time he goes to work every day. If you find that some newspaper has published some remarks that are not favorable to you, you will immediately call your assistant and the newspaper will be blocked. All businesses under the Li family are prohibited from advertising in this newspaper.

Superboy once thought that this conflict with Ziweixing would end like this, and all the Li family's businesses were prohibited from advertising on Ziweixing's platform.

Unexpectedly, things turned around very quickly!

The Li family has been investing in the Internet for almost ten years, and the most successful investment project is Facebook, the biggest potential stock in Silicon Valley. However, the investigation found that Ziweixing has huge influence on Facebook and has two seats on the board of directors. Zhou Buqi and Zuckerberg have a "teacher-student relationship." Many of Facebook's creative ideas come from Friends Network.

This is going to be troublesome.

Once a dispute breaks out and affects the Li family's investment in Facebook, the loss will be too great.

There was no other way. Later, the Li family held a family meeting and asked Superboy to deepen cooperation with mainland Internet companies and to make friends with Ziweixing by repaying evil with kindness.

Only then did Superboy go to Hangzhou to attend Jack Ma's investment promotion reception around Taobao City, and that was the scene where he took the initiative to make friends with Mr. Zhou.

Even he has to humble himself and take the initiative to make friends with Mr. Zhou. These dandy brothers from third-rate families don’t even know the provocation from the bottom of the earth...

The charity auction is still in progress, and Superboy is about to have a seizure on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi was not interested in being cruel to those little people, so he pulled him to his seat and said, "Okay, it's all the nonsense of some children, and I'm not even familiar with them. This arrangement is good, and there is Maotai wine." The price of this table is higher than the other 10 tables.”

Superboy secretly breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "Mr. Zhou's mind is admirable."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "They are not targeting me, I just came here temporarily with my friends. Oh, this is Miss Xu Baihui, she is the chairman of Jieyu Media."

"Jieyu Media..."

Superboy is so rich, but his private life cannot be clean. He has a deep relationship with the entertainment industry, and his current wife is a female star. So he also heard about things in the entertainment industry.

"It turns out to be Mr. Xu. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Li."

Xu Baihui shook hands with him with a smile.

Zhou Buqi introduced again, "This is my girlfriend Wu Yu, she is the founder, chairman and president of Chaowan Commune."

Wu Yu's face suddenly turned red. She felt that the titles of "Founder", "Chairman" and "President" were so wonderful. She felt light and airy inside. She felt so proud inside. It felt so good to be a strong woman. She maintained her elegance. gesture, smiled and said: "Nice to meet Mr. Li."

Superboy exchanged greetings with her and couldn't help but ask: "Chao Wan Commune, what kind of business is this?"

Wu Yu said proudly: "Blind box."

"Blind box?"

Superboy was confused.

Wu Yu simply explained it to him, saying that it was similar to the Japanese gashapon, but the product was more beautiful and attractive, and the gameplay was also diverse. It was like a lottery or card collection.

Superboy was very interested, "There are many horse racing and ball betting industries on Hong Kong Island."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's not the same. This is more for entertainment, and at most it's just a side project. Well... if possible, the blind box business can be cooperated with your Watsons."

"This..." Superboy was a little embarrassed.

Zhou Buqi said: "You don't need to sell goods. There are vending machines, just like vending drinks and coffee. Find a conspicuous place and put the machine up. Then the supermarket can get a share of the profits."

"Sounds like a very good business," Superboy said a little embarrassed, "But... you know, my eldest brother is taking care of the business at home, and I am doing another business."

Zhou Buqi could understand the industrial distribution of such a big family, "It doesn't matter. Cooperation must be mutually beneficial. I just came from Japan..."

"Yes, I know, the Manchester United game. My family are all Manchester United fans, and we all watched the final. We still won the game with one less player. The game was exciting."

"Oh, is it so?"

"Yes, as long as we have time, we will watch Manchester United's games. If it is an important game, we have to watch the game even if we put down work. This is a habit we have had for decades."

Superboy was telling the truth.

The gambling industry on Hong Kong Island is very developed. In addition, it was once a British colony and is deeply influenced by British culture. Almost all of them are Manchester United fans.

Zhou Buqi said politely: "Okay, if you have the opportunity to go to Manchester, I invite you to watch the game at Old Trafford. Hmm... But with the cooperation between Chaowan Commune and Watsons chain store, I think there is still a chance. In I already talked to 7\u002611 when I was in Japan."

Superboy had no choice but to say that he would help introduce him.

As for Yang Mi and Tang Yan next to him... He is also a veteran of Hua Cong. He can tell at a glance that the clothes and temperament of these two people are different from Wu Yu and Xu Baihui. They should be entertainment stars.

Unexpectedly, the following introduction still surprised him.

"This is Miss Yang Mi. She...well, she is a popular actress in our mainland. But recently she is also starting a business, and she is going to build an e-commerce platform called Farfetch."

"E-commerce? Internet?"

Superboy was stunned.

Not only was he stunned, Tang Yan was also stunned and looked at Yang Mi in disbelief.

Depend on!

what's the situation?

She is just like herself, a little star.

Does she want to open a company and be the boss?

Why?

What will she do?

Do you think you have found a good godfather?

It's not fair!

In what way is my figure and appearance worse than hers?

I want too!
