At this time, Qin Hongtian walked onto the stage amid warm applause. After bowing slightly to everyone, he began to speak with a smile on his face.
"Dear Secretary Wang!"
"Dear President Li of the Red Heart Charity Association!"
"Dear guests and friends, thank you very much for coming to this charity gala tonight. I, Qin Hongtian, am honored!"
"Hong An Fund has been established for three years. During this period, we have been deeply cared for by leaders and friends, and have grown stronger day by day!"
"Over the past three years, we have built primary schools, elderly welfare homes, resettlement housing, and more in 36 impoverished mountainous areas in western China!"
"But this is far from enough!"
"There are still many impoverished mountainous areas, and the situation is worrying. Orphans are homeless, and the elderly have no one to rely on!"
"As one of the top ten young people and a thoughtful and responsible entrepreneur, I feel we should shoulder more social responsibilities and provide these elderly and children with a better environment and a warmer home!"
"Therefore, our Hong An Foundation has decided to hold a charity gala at the end of each quarter!"
"All the proceeds from the auction will be used as charity funds to build poverty-stricken mountainous areas!"
"I hope that all the guests present here will donate money and contribute their own efforts to charity!"
As he said that, Qin Hongtian bowed to everyone again!
"Thank you everyone!"
After Qin Hongtian finished speaking, there was another round of warm applause from the audience.
To be honest, Qin Hongtian's words were really well-presented and greatly demonstrated his personal charm.
It can also be said that he gained both fame and fortune.
Even Liu Dawei was touched and felt that he should also contribute his strength to charity!
Liu Dawei tilted his head and looked at Jiang Siya.
"After returning, we at Weiye Investment Group set up a charity department, which allocates 20% of our profits every year to support impoverished mountainous areas."
"You have to handle this matter yourself!"
Don’t underestimate this small 20%, the amount of funds is extremely large. The foreign exchange market has made more than 200 billion in profits, and 20% is more than 40 billion!
"Okay!" Jiang Siya nodded directly.
Then, the beautiful host came on stage again and announced with a smile.
"Before the party begins, we will hold a charity auction. There are a total of five items for auction tonight!"
"The first piece is a blue and white porcelain of Chang'e flying to the moon, donated by Mr. Kong Qingbin, one of the top ten young people!"
"The second item is a well-shaped purple clay teapot donated by Mr. Zheng Huaxing, one of the top ten young people!"
"The third item is a painting of Zhong Kui subduing a tiger, donated by Mr. Hu Jianghe of Jianghe Group!"
"The fourth item is the Bulgari Magnifica spinel necklace donated by Mr. Qin Hongtian!"
"The fifth item is a Dunhill pipe donated by philanthropist and entrepreneur Mr. Lin Wenjun!"
"Now, we invite our auctioneer to take the stage and bid on the first lot: the blue and white porcelain of Chang'e Flying to the Moon! We invite all guests and friends to bid enthusiastically and contribute to charity!"
As soon as the beautiful host finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a square face walked onto the stage and stood in front of an auction table on the stage.
He cleared his throat slightly and introduced himself first.
"Good evening, distinguished guests and friends!"
"My humble name is Cheng Bole, the gold medal auctioneer of Wanbao Pavilion. At the invitation of Young Master Qin, I will be the auctioneer tonight!"
As he spoke, Cheng Bole stretched out his hand and said loudly.
"Now, please invite our etiquette lady to come on stage and present the first lot, the blue and white porcelain of Chang'e flying to the moon!"
Soon, a beautiful woman in cheongsam came on stage with a tray in her hand.
On the tray, there is a blue and white porcelain painting of Chang'e flying to the moon. It is extremely delicate, lifelike and magnificent. The Chang'e painted on it looks like a fairy walking down from the blue and white porcelain.
Very smart!
Soon, Cheng Bole introduced.
"This blue and white porcelain vase has an octagonal open mouth and an octagonal ring foot. The inner rim is decorated with a ruyi cloud pattern, and the center of the plate is painted with Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit!"
"The blue pigment used is Huiqing, which has a stable and pure color, with a hint of purple in the blue. Although it is a folk kiln product, it has a history of more than 600 years and is therefore extremely precious."
"Now, I declare that the starting price is 8 million, and each increment must be at least 200,000. The bidding begins!"
As soon as Cheng Bole finished speaking, someone raised a sign and made a bid.
“8 million!”
“8.8 million!”
"9.8 million!"
…
After a round of bidding, this blue and white porcelain piece of Chang'e Flying to the Moon was finally sold for 15 million.
Then, the second well-shaped purple clay teapot was sold for 26 million.
The third piece, a painting of Zhong Kui subduing a tiger, was sold for 52 million.
Soon, it was time for the fourth piece, the Bulgari Magnifica spinel necklace.
Cheng Bole held the small box and said loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now bidding on the fourth lot, the Bulgari Magnifica spinel necklace."
"This necklace was meticulously crafted by Bulgari, the leading jewelry company on Blue Star, and is inlaid with 520 spinels. To have so many spinels in one necklace speaks volumes about the craftsmanship!"
"And the number 520 has a unique meaning of 'I love you'!"
"Now, I declare that the starting price is 52 million, and each increment must be at least 520,000. The bidding begins!"
…
“55 million!”
“58 million!”
…
The bidding sounds continued, and Liu Dawei looked at Jiang Siya.
"How do you like it?"
Jiang Siya smiled.
"You really want to participate in the auction!"
