1071 Chapter 1071: Money is used to buy happiness
The charity banquet was so big and they were not very familiar with each other. Yun Xiangxiang pretended that she did not see it.
Yun Xiangxiang did not lack people to socialize with. Needless to say, there were people from the Min and Qin families as well as their in-laws.
Uncle Ma was a loyal person. He thanked Yun Xiangxiang for helping him back then and treated her as a VIP this time.
He personally brought her to meet some friends and even teased her, “Are you interested in buying two races for the new season of Marseilles?”
“Uncle Ma, don’t you know that the outside world is saying that I’m the reincarnation of a koi carp? My Luck is very good. I’d better not make Uncle Ma’s Heart Ache.”Yun Xiangxiang shook her head humorously, “We’re going back tonight. Next time, when I’m short of money, you’ll definitely be the first person I think of.”
This made uncle Ma point at her and smile. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until that day.”
Yun Xiangxiang was short of money. She reckoned that it would be impossible in this lifetime.
“But we have an international charity event here. Pick a few people to see it?”Uncle Ma was obviously helping Yun Xiangxiang’s foundation.
Yun Xiangxiang’s foundation could not reach such a large and grand charity event. Of course, she would not refuse. “Thank you for appreciating me so much. I’ll definitely pick a good person.”
As the host of the event, Uncle Ma must be very busy. After a few words with Yun Xiangxiang, he went to greet the guests.
Of course, the most important thing for the charity banquet was to raise funds for charity. The people who came would either send an item for auction or put in a lot of effort during the auction.
Yun Xiangxiang was not sure if there was anything in the auction that she liked, so she donated a set of very beautiful black pearls early in the morning.
She had bought this set of black pearls this year and thought that it looked good. However, she didn’t like to wear accessories on a daily basis. Rather than appreciating it at home, she might as well give it to someone who liked it more and do charity at the same time, at the same time, she also indirectly recommended the brand.
The gathering of the powerful family/rich family/Uber-rich parties in Hong Kong, whether it was the items donated by the Tuhao or the imposing manner in which the Tuhao threw out their money, was not inferior to the shocking scenes filmed in TV dramas.
Yun Xiangxiang was surrounded by onlookers for the majority of the time. There was no lack of people chasing after every item in the auction, and the prices were also astonishingly high. It could be said that even if the same item was brought to a precious auction, it would not have such a high price.
Even Yun Xiangxiang’s set of black pearls, which she bought for less than 200,000 yuan, ended up being bought by a wealthy lady who especially liked black pearls for 1.6 million yuan..
Yun Xiangxiang had to admit that throwing money like this was like throwing stones into a pond. She did not even blink as she watched the waves of waves crashing down. She was especially brave and made people restless. Just thinking about it made Yun Xiangxiang feel a little restless, she wanted to feel the atmosphere at the scene.
However, she only held back when she did not encounter anything that she really liked. She did not expect that a lucky bracelet would appear very soon.
It was a wreath made of pure platinum, a hollow four-leaf clover made of platinum, and a four-leaf clover pendant inlaid with emerald jade.
It looked fresh and natural. Yun Xiangxiang could not help but look down at the proposal diamond ring on her hand.
She was attending the dinner party with song Mian today, so she was wearing this luxurious proposal ring.
“This bracelet was donated by the chairman of the Rainbow Tower, Mr. He Junhao.”After the host finished speaking, the camera turned to he junhao. He Junhao stood up, greeted his left and right in a gentlemanly manner, and then sat down, “It hasn’t been unknown since it was designed, and it hasn’t had an owner yet. The fine diamonds shine like the stars, and the noble Emerald Jade is crystal clear. It’s the best choice among jewelry. The starting price is one million.”
“Two million.”Immediately, someone was attracted.
“Two million eight hundred thousand.”
“Three million five hundred thousand…”
The price had been competing all the way to seven million, which far exceeded the value of the bracelet, but many people were still competing.
These were people who were not short of money, not to mention that there was a legitimate reason to spend money here. Therefore, spending money became more and more crazy.
“If you like it, go and bid,”song Mian whispered into Yun Xiangxiang’s ear. “It’s rare to be capricious once or twice in life. Perhaps you will have a special love for it after spending so much money.”
After a pause, he said, “We are not people who are short of money. To us, money can buy happiness, which is its greatest value.”
Initially, Yun Xiangxiang did not want to get involved. However, since song Mian had said so, Yun Xiangxiang felt that there was no need for her to be restrained. She did not want to think about whether it was worth it or not.
That was a problem that only the poor needed to consider. She needed to adapt to the fact that she was no longer a poor person.
“10 million.”Yun Xiangxiang raised the sign in her hand when the price reached 8.5 million.
In fact, not many people wanted to make a guess when the bracelet reached 8 million. 8.5 million was almost a deal.
Yun Xiangxiang suddenly increased the bid by 1.5 million, attracting everyone’s attention.
Not many people here knew song Mian. Other than the people from the Min, Qin, and Chang families who knew song Mian’s five fingers, everyone looked at Yun Xiangxiang and directly ignored song Mian’s existence.
Especially that noblewoman who saw that she was about to get 8.5 million yuan, her expression was even more unsightly. She immediately raised the price with an unfriendly expression. “12 million.”
After she shouted, she threw a disdainful look at Yun Xiangxiang. Coincidentally, the distance between them was not far, and Yun Xiangxiang caught it.
Her pink lips curled. “32 million.”
If you add 2 million, I’ll add 20 million.
Such a bold move made many people give Yun Xiangxiang a thumbs up.
The other party refused to believe it. “34 million!”
“54 million.”
Compared to the other party gnashing her teeth, Yun Xiangxiang smiled calmly.
It could be seen that Yun Xiangxiang was determined to get this bracelet. They were not short of money, but money did not come out of nowhere.
It was not a big deal to spend 10 million on a one-million-yuan bracelet, but it would be difficult to explain to her family if she spent half a billion on it. After all, she was not someone who earned money.
The other party could only grit her teeth and give up.
“Miss Yun is rich.”The host gave Yun Xiangxiang a thumbs up. “Then this bracelet…”
“74 million.”A sweet voice sounded, and everyone looked over in shock.
Yun Xiangxiang looked over as well, and as expected, she met Chang Yuan’s provocative gaze.
“The remaining 4,000,000 is meaningless. 100,000,”Yun Xiangxiang raised the price lightly.
This time, even though everyone was rich, their expressions started to change.
Most of the people present were business families, and all of them were accounting experts. Using 100,000,000 to buy a set of bracelet worth 1,000,000 was not wise, even if it was for the sake of face.
Those who truly cared about face could not become successful businessmen. Every successful businessman would not disregard money for the sake of face.
“120 million yuan.”Chang Yuan beamed.
The eldest daughter of the Chang family had a net worth of 10 billion yuan. She did not lack the tip of the iceberg.
