Shocking the Whole Internet! You Are Not a Psychologist at All!
Chapter 202 Charity auctions are also a business
If the murderer and his son knew the magic of Taoism, there would be various ways to make people disappear silently from the world.
Burying the body deep in a pit may seem safe, but in fact it has many loopholes.
Hangzhou is a first-tier city in China, and every inch of land inside and outside the city is at a premium.
What if this area is demolished one day?
The bones buried by them will be exposed at any time.
Judging from the method of committing the crime, the murderer and his son did not look like members of the Taoist sect.
Chen Yu couldn't determine their location, and the matter seemed suspicious.
"Jingle Bell……"
Halfway through, the phone rang suddenly.
Seeing that the call was from Wang Dequan, Chen Yu picked up the phone.
"Dr. Chen, are you free tonight?"
"If anything, I'd like to invite you to an auction."
On the phone, Wang Dequan clearly stated what he meant.
Not long ago, Chen Yu asked Wang Dequan to help find a lot of rare things.
Wang De, who knew little about the metaphysics of Feng Shui, was surprised to find that all Chen Yu was looking for were high-quality materials for making magical weapons.
It is speculated that during this period, Chen Yu should be manufacturing magic weapons on a large scale.
There will be many rare antiques at tonight's auction.
The grand finale is a 200-year-old wild ginseng.
Wang Dequan believed that Chen Yu would definitely be interested in this auction.
"I'll go back now. Later, you can pick me up in the psychological clinic."
Chen Yu, who often saw auction scenes in movies and novels, was somewhat curious about real auctions.
In addition to the things that appeared at the auction, there were many things that Chen Yu was interested in.
Chen Yu immediately followed the good advice and agreed to Wang Dequan's invitation.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Wang Dequan drove over in person.
Picked up Chen Yu and headed to a private club in the city.
The auction will be held here.
An invited guest can bring one or two companions.
Due to the large amount of money involved in the auction, each invited guest is required to pay a deposit of two million in advance.
"Dr. Chen, tell me what you want to buy in advance and I will pay for it for you."
Hearing this, Chen Yu smiled half-heartedly and said, "Boss Wang, you don't have anything to ask me for, do you?"
"Dr. Chen misunderstood. I never meant that. It's just that... I just think that instead of buying everything randomly, it's better to help you buy what you need."
Wang Dequan showed an embarrassed expression.
The auction is for charity.
The proceeds will go into a charity fund.
It is used to help out-of-school children and provide infrastructure funds for some poor areas.
Since Chen Yu advised Wang Dequan to do more good deeds and accumulate merit.
There is no charity event of all sizes in Hangzhou that Wang Dequan would not attend.
In just over a month, Wang Dequan has become one of the top philanthropists in the charity circle in Hangzhou.
"So that's what you think, hahaha."
Chen Yu couldn't laugh or cry.
A businessman is a businessman.
Always be careful with your budget.
Gain fame for yourself and accumulate merit and luck by frequently attending charity events.
On the other hand, help Chen Yu buy things he is interested in and further deepen his relationship with Chen Yu.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Not long after, the car parked in the parking lot in front of the club.
It was already 7:40 in the evening, and the parking lot was filled with various types of luxury cars.
The two doormen trotted along and politely opened the doors on both sides.
After confirming the identity, the doorman led the way.
He led the two of them to the club hall.
After temporary renovations, the hall was turned into an auction venue.
A temporary auction stage was set up in front.
Dozens of chairs were placed in the middle.
"Why are there so many foreigners?"
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment.
It was different from the auction he imagined.
Among the guests attending the auction, in addition to some Chinese, there were also many foreigners.
There are different skin colors, both men and women, old and young.
Wang Dequan said: "Many of the items in today's auction are antiques."
"It has always been popular abroad to collect our country's antiques, so an auction like this will definitely have foreigners."
Chen Yu nodded and followed Wang Dequan to sit in the middle of the auction room.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the auction officially begins.
The hostess wearing a cheongsam and high heels came to the stage elegantly carrying a tray.
The auctioneer picked up a snuff bottle from the tray and began to introduce all aspects of it.
Snuff bottles are praised as the top quality snuff bottles in the Qing Dynasty.
Light workmanship and unique craftsmanship.
The glaze recipe has long been lost.
No matter the workmanship, appearance or glaze color.
All are rare products.
To make such a perfect snuff bottle, the right time, right place and right people are all indispensable.
"I announce that the starting price of this snuff bottle is 200,000 yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than 20,000 yuan."
"We welcome all guests to bid enthusiastically."
In the audience, Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
A snuff bottle from the mid-Qing Dynasty was praised by the auctioneer as a masterpiece that is rare in heaven and rarely seen on earth.
For those who didn’t know, I thought it was a national treasure.
Wang Dequan smiled and said: "Dr. Chen, do you think the auctioneer's praise is a bit excessive?"
Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I can't say it's too much, it's just a bit unrealistic."
As far as Chen Yu knows, there are very many snuff bottles in existence.
Even the snuff bottles from the palace are not necessarily rare treasures.
Wang Dequan said: "Three hundred and sixty lines, all lines are business."
"All the proceeds from this auction will be used for charity, but the organizer of the auction will not do charity on an empty stomach."
"They take a cut of the gross revenue."
"The more the auctioneer praises it, the more it attracts everyone's curiosity."
"This then attracted a large number of guests to bid for the auction."
"Dr. Chen, look left and right."
"There were some listless guests just now, are they all full of energy now?"
Chen Yu glanced left and right from the corner of his eyes.
The situation is indeed as Wang Dequan said.
Among the guests sitting on both sides, there were many young people from wealthy families.
When the auction just started, these people either lowered their heads and played with their mobile phones, or showed a lack of interest.
Now all the energy comes.
Indeed, everything is business.
Even charity auctions require a lot of bragging to get the most benefit.
In the end, the snuff bottle was bought by a wealthy man for 480,000 yuan.
"How come you only have so little money?"
Chen Yu said in confusion: "So many people actively bid, but the final transaction price did not even exceed 500,000."
"I used to read novels, and it was common to pay over 18 million to shoot something, and over 100 million was common."
Wang Dequan said dumbfounded: "Dr. Chen, novels are novels, reality is reality."
"When I have nothing to do, I am also interested in reading novels to pass the time."
"Every time I see someone bidding hundreds of millions or more than a billion at an auction, just to compete for one item, I burst out laughing."
