The eighth chapter is about to start
Section 8: The good show is about to begin
"What are you doing? Do you look down on us?" Jiang Sijia immediately raised her head and asked in Chinese.
I quickly shook my hand, "How dare you? How dare you? I'm just curious. You are just students now, so why would you want to hold a charity auction?"
"Our school has a charity bounty group that specifically helps those people and groups we think we need. Now the three of us are the presidents of this bounty group. Recently, a new girl appeared in our neighborhood. She set up a stray dog home to accommodate stray dogs that were thrown on the street. This is something we just learned occasionally a month ago. It costs a lot of money to take care of stray dogs, but we saw that there was only one girl and didn't look very rich. So we wanted to hold a charity auction, asking students to donate some things, and then auction them to people in the neighborhood, hoping to raise some money for her."
"Home of stray dogs?" I heard this term, then smiled and said, "There are probably more homeless people in this world than stray dogs. People have not had time to help, so do you still have the leisure to help the dogs?"
When Jiang Sijia heard me say this, she quickly slapped me and said, "Fortunately, you speak Chinese, otherwise you will be completely ruined by Lucy and Lily. In the minds of Nuts, dogs are very important animals, just like members of their own family."
"Since that's the case, why are there so many stray dogs on the street?" I said, shook my head, "People in the world are the same hypocrisy."
"What, you said I'm hypocritical?" Jiang Sijia said, pouting angrily.
I smiled and shook my head and said, "Of course you are not hypocritical. You are just overwhelmed with sympathy and full of romantic feelings."
Speaking of this, I smiled, "By the way, didn't you ask me to give you some advice?"
Jiang Sijia nodded, "Of course, you are a smart person who is in charge of so many businesses at such a young age. Of course, this little idea is not difficult for you."
"It's okay to come up with an idea. I have one now. As long as you follow my idea, I promise that the money you raise will be many, many times more than you think. But you must promise me that if I say it, you are not allowed to be angry."
Jiang Sijia said strangely: "Since you can come up with an idea to help us, why would I blame you? Of course not."
"Okay, I'll ask you, what are you going to ask your classmates to donate?" I asked.
Jiang Sijia thought for a while and said, "Well, it's probably some of his own handicrafts or some things he treasures."
I smiled and said, "What good things can you poor students treasure? According to your way, in the end, I think it can be worth a few thousand dollars at most, right?"
Jiang Sijia nodded, then pulled my clothes and said, "Oh, don't keep it in hiding anymore. If you have any ideas, just say it."
I blinked my eyes and hesitated for a while, and finally told me my idea, "If you are willing to find some girls and donate their underwear and socks, I believe there will be a very good harvest."
"Ha? What did you say?" After hearing what I said, Jiang Sijia was so shocked that her eyes opened.
So I clicked on her and said with a smile: "I promised not to be angry."
Jiang Sijia shook her head, "I'm not angry, but how much can our lingerie be worth?"
"That's not the case. There are many bad middle-aged people who are particularly interested in this kind of thing, especially if you can post your charity fundraising advertisements to those Izumo Kingdom, it will be even more profitable..." I said, and smiled, "If you have the courage to directly auction your underwear on the day's day, then the funds raised may be doubled."
After listening to me, Jiang Sijia opened her mouth wide and blinked for a while, "Ah? That's how?"
"Look, so women's kindness is the most unreliable. It's just a little bit of test that can't be passed." I smiled and said.
I was just kidding about this idea for Jiang Sijia, but I just wanted to make fun of her. Unexpectedly, after a while, she really started discussing with her two classmates seriously. She was stunned by the fact that I was sitting beside me, because in the end, they decided to do this, and the underwear they wore on the day of the auction in public. Moreover, they also said with striking that a certain group was willing to take nude photos together in order to protect animals, and they were just selling underwear, so what's so great about it?
After listening to it, I suddenly collapsed completely. It wasn't that the three of them were so powerful. Anyway, there are no girls who are not strong now, so I'm not surprised that I'm going to do anything. What I collapsed is that if Jiang Sijia told her mother about this in the future, I wouldn't have been twisted off by Jiang Wei?
So I quickly said with my little face: "Jiajia, brother was joking with you just now, don't take it seriously. Isn't you doing this auction just for money? OK, how much do you want, you can make a number with me, and I'll give it to you as you please."
Who knew that Jiang Sijia would firmly say: "No, this kind of thing is our business, and I can't let you spend money alone."
I shook my head with a bitter face and said, "No cost, no cost at all. Anyway, I can reimburse you."
"That's not OK. Our event is not only for raising funds, but more importantly, we need to unleash our love and let people in society care about stray dogs." Jiang Sijia said sternly and nodded vigorously, "Well, that's it. I'll go and ask someone to print a flyer now."
As she said that, she stood up, then ran away with her two classmates, leaving me alone to sit there in a daze. After a while, I finally woke up and thought of the only solution, which was to go to the scene to attend this charity fundraising meeting. What I had to do was to buy all the underwear sold that day.
I'm so full, I'm so full, what bad idea I've come up with? I've caused such a big trouble. I hope there will be fewer people in Izumo that day!
At nine o'clock the next morning, we went to bed on time. After having breakfast in the restaurant, a group of five people set out for the auction venue. According to the address provided by the Tenglong Intelligence Bureau, we arrived at this not-so-large auction venue. After paying a deposit of $500,000, we received a number plate of No. 19 and were allowed to enter the venue. Two people followed me in, one was Xiao Chen and the other was Li Bu. The other two were outside.
Before we entered, each of us received a booklet, which was the introduction of today's auction items. As we walked, I looked at the introduction in this booklet. A total of eighteen auction items were introduced, including China, Izumo, European and American, and various auction items, but at a glance, I couldn't tell which auction items were something we were going to compete for. So, I could only think about it mentally, no matter how many, I would do it later.
I chose a seat in the middle and sat down so that I could observe the people in the audience. Not long after, the entire auction venue was filled with about seventy or eighty people, all kinds of skins and all kinds of appearances. It seemed difficult to tell who was special at first glance. But I was not discouraged. I believe that when the auction was later, I would definitely see a clue.
At half past ten, the auction officially began. The first auction item was a pair of Indian crafts, with a starting price of 20,000 US dollars. This time, the Tenglong Intelligence Bureau allocated a total of 500 million US dollars to us just in case. From this figure, it can be seen that the so-called case of the Tenglong Intelligence Bureau is related to the fate of the country, and it is not empty talk, otherwise I would not believe that the State Council would allocate such a huge sum to them.
Before we came, we had already discussed that if we could not tell which auction item was what we wanted, we had to adopt the shopping tactic. That is, we bought all the things auctioned today. Although it was a bit stupid to do this, it was the only way to be foolproof.
Of course, this is just a solution I discussed with the Tenglong Intelligence Bureau. In my own mind, it is almost impossible for us to auction this auction item today. Because that person has lived for thousands of years, and has been operating this antique sales group for hundreds of years. The wealth he owns may be no less than the foreign exchange stock in our country. If he really makes up his mind to buy something, how could we compete for him? In addition to this, I have another stronger premonition, that is, it is very likely that the ring will not appear at this auction at all.
In other words, although I had discussed everything with the Tenglong Intelligence Bureau before coming, I didn’t really have the intention to get this ring deep in my heart. The reason I came here was because I knew that the arrangement made by the convicted agent must have been instructed by the person behind the scenes to do so.
Why did that person let the betrayal agent play this trick? What trick did he want to play through this auction? Finding the answers to these two questions is my real purpose in New York.
However, that being said, all this is just my personal speculation after all, and I cannot be completely sure. So, when I was sitting in this auction venue, I was still observing everyone in the venue, and I wanted to find our opponents.
The first auction was sold by us for $36,000.
The second auction item was sold by us for $40,000.
The third auction item was sold by us for $70,000.
In this way, one of us sold today's auction items. When the auction reached the seventh collection, I finally began to feel that the third young man in the back row on the left seemed to be our opponent. Because he had never offered a price from beginning to end, but his eyes on the stage seemed very persistent, as if something was bound to win. When everyone looked at us unconsciously because we were buying auction items, the young man did not even move his head and did not show any strange expression.
I continued to observe that when we auctioned the thirteenth auction item, I could confirm that this young man was our opponent. Because he still had never offered anything, his eyes were looking at the stage from beginning to end. However, he should not be that person, because the feeling he gave me was completely different from that person, and his height was completely different. Unless that person could really change at will, he should not be him.
So, I observed him silently, and kept allowing Xiao Chen beside me to bid.
As a result, due to our fierce bidding, the eighteen auction items were auctioned in just over twenty minutes. We bought all of these eighteen auction items for more than one.5 million US dollars.
At this time, Xiao Chen looked down at the booklet, then looked up at me in disbelief and asked, "Why did you buy it all so easily? Could it be that person who chose our auction house?"
I looked at him, then looked at the young man. Everyone around him stood up, but when he wanted to leave, he still sat still motionless.
So I turned my face and said to Xiao Chen, "Don't be anxious, the matter is not over yet."
Xiao Chen looked at me in surprise, then followed my eyes and looked at the strange young man. He didn't say anything, but just tidied up his clothes and continued to sit.
At this moment, the auctioneer on the stage suddenly announced, "Everyone, we have just received the company's instructions to temporarily add a special auction. There are three mysterious auction items in this auction. According to the requirements of the client, we cannot introduce any information related to these three mysterious auction items. At the same time, during the auction, the three mysterious auction items will be packed in three ancient Chinese boxes, and we have no right to publicly display the appearance and shape of the product. If anyone is interested in these three mysterious auction items, you can pay a deposit of 20 million US dollars on site and then participate in the auction."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar.
While the people in the audience were whispering incredibly, I saw a middle-aged man standing up next to the young man. At this time, I turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen nodded, then stood up, "I'll pay the deposit."
