I, who plundered the heavens, had a hundred thousand dead men
Chapter 12 Charity Dinner
…
That evening, in a luxuriously decorated banquet hall, the 8th Huayang Chamber of Commerce's charity dinner was held grandly.
As a new jewelry giant in Hong Kong, Li Yang's Li's Jewelry was naturally invited.
"Good evening everyone, welcome everyone!"
"In addition to being committed to the economic prosperity of Hong Kong Island over the years, our Chamber of Commerce has also been doing its best to give back to the public."
"Therefore, tonight, the Chamber of Commerce will hold a charity auction. All the proceeds from the auction will be used to rebuild the homes of people affected by the typhoon, so we hope that everyone will actively participate and show our support to the general public. Social love.”
"Here is our first auction item tonight, a beautiful vase from the Qing Dynasty. The starting price is 5,000 yuan."
On the podium, a sturdy bald man was introducing the first auction item tonight in a not very standard hosting style.
Li Yang, who had been in the corner of the back row, saw this and was ready to respond.
Because when he came to this Hong Kong Island time and space, in addition to gold, jewelry, and jade, some valuable antiques were also Li Yang's goals.
Nowadays, since Li Yang has basically secretly controlled the entire underground forces in Hong Kong Island, he earns a lot of gray income every day.
All in all, Li Yang now has a lot of money that he can squander on Hong Kong Island in this era.
Since the black roulette wheel in his mind did not prompt him to return to his own modern time and space, Li Yang also began to learn to integrate himself into Hong Kong Island of this era.
Soon, as the stalwart bald man serving as the host on the podium announced the reserve price of this Qing Dynasty vase, a Chinese man with a tall wine glass and an erect hair walked out of the crowd with a smile and said A price increase was made.
"10,000 yuan!"
In today's era, 10,000 yuan is equivalent to at least a hundred times more than in future generations.
In other words, 10,000 yuan in this era is equivalent to more than one million yuan in later generations.
"12,000 yuan."
Following the first bid, the second bid was immediately increased.
"15,000 yuan."
This is the price shouted by an old man on the arm of a beautiful girl.
"20,000 yuan"
"25,000 yuan." Li Yang, who was in the crowd, also called out a price at this time.
Since Li Yang's body benefited from the transformation of the black disk, his learning abilities in all aspects have been greatly enhanced. Therefore, through some supplementation during this period, Li Yang also improved his English, which originally only had a few words. I barely made up for it.
Therefore, Li Yang can now barely communicate in English.
This also greatly helped Li Yang's integration into Hong Kong Island in this era.
Soon after Li Yang raised the price, other people present also felt that the price was about the same, and it would be a bit too high if he increased the price, so they did not continue to increase the price for a while.
But just when the sturdy bald man on the stage was about to drop the hammer, a voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
"One hundred thousand yuan!"
Li Yang, who was in the crowd, also followed everyone's gaze and looked over.
"The boss behind Changle!"
Yes, the person who raised the price by 100,000 yuan was Cao Yanjun, the boss who had transformed Changle into a legitimate business.
Since Changle, controlled by Cao Yanjun, has been transformed, the dead men controlled by Li Yang in secret have not yet taken action against Changle's remaining power.
After all, for Li Yang, he let the dead men secretly control the underground forces in Hong Kong Island, and his purpose was to make money.
At present, there is no conflict of interest between the dead men under him and Changle, so naturally they get along well.
However, if Li Yang continues to stay in the time and space of Hong Kong Island, the dead men under him will definitely swallow up Xiangle and other forces that have begun to turn behind the scenes one by one.
And now, at the charity dinner.
Cao Yanjun's price increase instantly pushed the entire banquet to a climax of discussion.
"Who is this person? How come she is so rich? One hundred thousand is not a small sum. This price has far exceeded the price of this antique vase itself."
However, the burly man who acted as the host did not pay attention to the whispers of these people.
"This lady bids 100,000 yuan. Is there anyone else who bids higher? The countdown starts now, 3, 2, 1 is sold. Congratulations to this lady for winning the first charity item of this dinner. Here is the invitation to this generous person.
The caring lady comes on stage and introduces herself."
Then there were bursts of applause.
And Cao Yanjun, who was dressed elegantly and elegantly, also slowly walked towards the front desk with a smile on his face.
"Thank you Huayang General Chamber of Commerce for giving me this opportunity!"
"I am very honored to represent Changle Company to send this love and blessing to the victims. I hope that the victims can rebuild their homes as soon as possible and start a new life. At the same time, I also hope that everyone here can donate generously to show their sincerity.
strength and love.”
However, while Cao Yanjun was chatting on the stage, a well-dressed man suddenly stood up and said loudly with a straight face.
"As far as I know, your Changle company used to be a gangster society. Now you use the gangster money to do charity. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Yes, everyone knows the background of your Changle company. If people know that our chamber of commerce actually uses dirty money to do charity, wouldn't it make the outside world think that we are in cahoots with HEI?"
These celebrities and businessmen present, who spoke of themselves as arrogant, may have seen Cao Yanjun steal their limelight with such generosity, so when they saw someone standing up to stir up trouble, they immediately started to add insult to injury.
Sure enough, as these people started to stir up trouble, a British guy present also said with an unhappy face.
"Our chamber of commerce cannot accept money from HEI Road for charity. This will have a very serious impact on the reputation of our chamber of commerce."
"You, please get out, you are not welcome here..."
"Yes! Please go out. This is a charity dinner for serious businessmen. We can't let HEI Road affect our chamber of commerce."
On the podium, listening to the ridicule of these celebrities in the crowd below, Cao Yanjun's mood became extremely bad, but she still kept the smile on her face.
It's just that this smile looks a bit stiff and unnatural no matter how you look at it.
At this time, the strong British man as the host saw this scene and quickly stopped him.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."
I saw this strong man coming to Cao Yanjun and whispering to her.
"Sorry, madam, our Chamber of Commerce is a whole after all, and you have seen the current situation. If you continue to stay, it will only embarrass you and us, so our Chamber of Commerce can only accept your kindness.
Already."
After hearing this, Cao Yanjun on the stage naturally knew what to do.
"I know that my past may not be glorious, but all of you here should ask yourselves. You took things by force and used any means, so there is essentially no difference between you and me. The reason why you can stand up so proudly now
Here, you all have learned to lie!" Cao Yanjun said and sneered, then turned around and walked towards the main door of the banquet.
