Silicon Valley

Chapter 77: auctions

   At the auction, the price calls came and went one after another.

   The first few auction items were foreign paintings and calligraphy. Henry expressed no interest at all, and he did not bid for the wine. I thought that doing good deeds can't be all-inclusive, isn't it, other people finally come back, and they can't leave empty-handed!

   "Tsk tsk, even a few modern paintings and calligraphy works can be sold so expensive!!!" Helen shook her head and secretly smacked her tongue!

Henry laughed and said: "Where do they buy paintings and calligraphy works, they actually buy it for the sake of face! Doing charity in the United States can avoid taxation. It doesn't matter if you bid a little bit more. You see, Ted Lynch treats those who bid high prices. They all looked up and smiled, encouraging them to bid as high as possible! Everyone likes to hold the governor’s stinky feet and keep bidding!"

   "Aren't you going to hold the Governor's stinky feet..." Helen laughed out loud.

"I'm totally different from them!!!" Henry said righteously, "I really want to do charity work. I am poor and good at my own life, and I will help the world. Disabled children are too pitiful, I am going to build a disabled. Children’s schools give them more care. Everyone has self-esteem. Teaching people to fish is not as good as teaching people to fish. I want to build a school that can teach them survival skills so that they can support themselves without relying too much on others... "

   At the end, Henry's eyes were reddish, and he was rather sighed. Although in this life, he has never touched disabled children. But in the previous life, he participated in the Wen~Chuan earthquake relief operation, and also went to a special school for children with disabilities and intellectual disabilities, where he witnessed how disabled children overcome their own obstacles, become self-reliant, and work hard! That kind of spirit and the touching pictures now make Henry's eyes moist when I think about it!

   Helen looked at Henry almost crying. This was the first time she saw Henry on the other side. In her eyes, Henry has always been confident, strong, and indifferent, and it seems that nothing can make him sad! Helen subconsciously hugged Henry in her arms and comforted: "Okay, we will build a special school for children with disabilities!"

Henry blinked, calmed down, and said slowly: "There is more than one school, I want to build this kind of school all over the world!!! Cisco Care for Children Special School, Nicholas Care for Children Special School, Global Online... …"

  Henry said a lot. Helen couldn't help but smile when he heard it behind him: "Are you advertising for the company under your name or something? The school is all with the name of the company under your name!"

"Doing charity and advertising are not wrong? Is there any problem with this?" Henry said, "If a person does a good deed, if he does not receive the respect and the honor he deserves, then who is willing to do good deeds in the future? Not everyone does it. It’s God, we’re all saints... We’re all ordinary people, we all have vanity, I’m just setting an example for everyone! Maybe someone has done good deeds just because of a little sense of vanity, no matter what his purpose is, but He has indeed done good deeds, isn't it a contribution to society?"

   "Well, what you said makes a little sense!" Helen nodded, "Then, the good man, when will you bid, five things have already been auctioned!"

  Henry stared at a dragon head on the stage, his face changed, and his tone was firm: "This time I must shout!"

   Although Henry was born in a foreign country, he still has a quarter of Yanhuang blood, and he was a 100% Chinese child in his previous life. Henry didn't realize that he was in Cao Ying's heart. The moment he saw the dragon's head, Henry's heart trembled in vain, and the lyrics suddenly sounded in his mind: "Even though the dress is worn on the body, my heart is still Chinese. heart……"

   The heads of the twelve zodiac animals are scattered around the world, and the shame of the year has not yet been snowed. Henry saw the dragon head and decided to buy it anyway.

At this time, the host introduced: "This collection is one of the dragon heads of the twelve zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace of the Qing Dynasty. It is cast in bronze and has fine carvings and lifelike life. It has a very large collection value! Now, the starting price is 500,000 US dollars!! !"

   The host's voice just fell, Henry didn't even think about it, and directly shouted: "One million dollars!!!"

   When the price was raised to one million, everyone was shocked. Generally speaking, it was an increase of one hundred thousand and one hundred thousand!

   "Simon Jeffrey, that guy is shouting!" The pig friend beside Simon Jeffrey, the young director of cutting-edge technology, pointed to Henry and said.

   Simon Jeffrey's face turned cold, and he looked at Henry and Helen in his arms with sinister eyes.

   "Simon Geoffrey, the girl you are after is acting like a baby in the arms of others. If it were me, I would never look past it. I must teach him a lesson!"

   "Jeffrey, you won't be persuaded anymore!"

   "Haha..." As everyone said, they burst into laughter.

   Simon Jeffrey said angrily: "Fart, will I counsel!!"

   Simon Jeffrey said, he raised his right hand and shouted: "1.5 million!!!"

   Henry followed the voice, and he was actually the young director of cutting-edge technology and the suitor of Helen. Henry couldn't help being slightly surprised, but immediately calmed down. How does an ant challenge the dragon? Henry was not a bird, and said lightly: "3 million!!!"

   Henry had just finished calling the price, and the hall suddenly became quiet. At this time, the animal head of the Chinese zodiac was not as valuable as it is now and later. In the eyes of everyone, one million dollars is enough. Simon Jeffrey also surprised everyone when he shouted 1.5 million. But soon he was shocked by Henry's three million shouts!

  It's just a bronze statue. As for three million dollars? Everyone is really puzzled!

   At this time, Simon Jeffrey’s pig friends and dog friends said to Simon: "Hurry up, Jeffrey, you hurry up and shout, are you going to persuade you?"

   "Three hundred...3.5 million!" Simon Jeffrey couldn't help but shouted the price after receiving the excitement from the crowd. However, his complexion was like pig liver. If his father knew that he had spent millions to buy a piece of broken copper and iron, he would have to kill him...

   "Jeffrey, good job!"

   "Jeffrey, awesome!"

   Everyone touted, Simon Jeffrey was full of vanity. Just when he wanted to continue to enjoy this sense of vanity, he saw Henry say loudly to him: "If you have the seed, continue to follow!!!" Then Henry raised his right hand and said to the host, "I will give a thousand Ten thousand U.S. dollars!!!"

  Everyone was shocked as soon as he said this! Although many people are very rich, they don't use it like this! ! !

   There is too much money and no land to burn, or are you jealous?

   Helen hurriedly pulled Henry, "Henry, don't be angry for such a high price! I understand your intentions..." Helen said, but lowered her head shyly. At this moment, she felt happy in her heart. She thought Henry was calling this price for her!

   Henry smiled without explaining, and kissed her on the cheek.

  At this time, Ted Lynch looked at Henry, Henry looked up and saw him, and then the two laughed at each other, but Henry and Ted Lynch laughed in their own minds! Ted Lynch thought Henry was expressing his position and supported him with practical actions. But Henry thought, Clinton should be anxious now! 10 million to buy a bronze beast head, which fool can do it? But obviously Henry is not a fool, so what is his purpose for doing this?

   In Simon Geoffrey's view, he was jealous of competing with him. In Clinton's view, this is Henry's support for Ted Lynch.

   There was a silence in the audience.

   Simon Geoffrey flushed, wishing to find a hole to get in. His Hupengou friends didn't dare to speak anymore, but looked at Henry in surprise. The host of the auction sale is a man who has been on the battlefield. He has encountered a wealthy tyrant like Henry ~ www.NovelMTL.com~ but was stunned, and quickly reacted, and then said loudly: "This gentleman Bid 10 million dollars, is there any higher bid?"

   The host paused and glanced at the crowd, but no one seemed to be ready to continue shouting. So, he said: "I count down three times at the end. If there is still no one bidding, then this dragon head belongs to this gentleman!!!"

"three!"

   "Two!"

"One!!!"

   "Congratulations, this collection belongs to you, wait a moment, we can complete the transaction in the background!"

   "Hmm!" Henry nodded, expressing his understanding.

   After the first auction of the dragon, the auction will continue. Now everyone knows that Henry is a local tyrant. Sure enough, in the following auctions, Henry was also a local tyrant, and when he saw something he liked, he gave a lot of money, such as Tang Bohu's beauty pictures, blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and so on.

   After the auction ends, the charity party is almost over. Henry went to the back office to complete the auction transaction and asked them to deliver the things to the designated address. Subsequently, Henry sent Helen home.

   When he got out of the car, Helen gave Henry a kiss affectionately.

   "I'll give it to you today!!!" Helen smiled, her face blushing.

   Henry looked at Helen running away carrying the skirt and smiled slightly. This girl actually took the initiative to give me a deep French kiss. It is really rare! ! ! Ha ha……

   Henry had a little fun, and then ordered the driver to drive home! (Please ask for votes and collect!!!!
