After hanging up the phone, Tao Yinan couldn't calm herself down for a long time. This kind of anger was something that she rarely got angry about.
But this time, it was different. This time, she couldn't hold it in anymore. After coming to Hua Xia, Tao Yinan couldn't bear the frustration anymore. She had to change!
Tao Yinan was very disappointed that Tao Ruhu and Tao Tianyi were useless. But if she wanted to solve the problem with her own strength, she had a lot of worries and concerns. Some things had to be considered. She had to be careful.
After sorting out her emotions, Tao Yinan walked out of the bathroom.
There were still more than ten minutes before the auction started. Almost all the people who had received the invitation had arrived at the venue. Tao Yinan walked into the venue on her high heels and found her seat.
Ninety-nine. She liked this number because nine was the largest number of a single number. She liked this largest number.
Tao Yinan believed that this number would bring her good luck.
Although Tao Yinan was in a very bad mood, everything was different because of the 1787 Chateau Lafite tonight.
As long as Tao Yinan could get this bottle of red wine, all the unhappiness would be swept away. She always felt that her happiness came from such a simple thing. As long as she could satisfy what she wanted, everything would be enough.
There were no empty seats in the auction hall. Everyone came here with a purpose in mind. Everyone wanted to get what they wanted.
Seeing that the auction was about to start, the famous host of Qingdao, Yujie, appeared on the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! I know that everyone is excited at the moment, but don't worry, our charity auction is about to start! "
Tao Yinan wasn't in the mood to listen to the host's warm up words. The only thing in her mind was the 1787 Chateau Lafite.
Soon, the auction officially started. Because it was the home of Tianyu Group, there was no lack of celebrities.
The popular singer's voice soon attracted everyone's attention.
After the two programs warmed up, the host said something and the first auction item was brought to the stage. This was the filming equipment used in a blockbuster movie that had a box office success. It was an awesome introduction that not many people could understand.
Such a thing that could be said to be obsolete was sold at a price of three hundred thousand.
This was the meaning of charity auctions. Regardless of whether something was valuable or not, it could be sold at a price that was completely out of line with its value.
This was something that only existed for charity.
Soon after, the second auction item appeared. Tao Yinan was even less interested in this item. It was a piece of clothing worn by a superstar. Of course, this piece of clothing was worn by the superstar himself when he was filming his most famous movie.
The clothes were at least ten years old, and there were even parts that were damaged. It was said that they were damaged during the filming of the movie.
Such an item was sold for 800,000 yuan! This was the power of influence. Superstar Media's lousy clothes could be sold for $800,000.
Fortunately, the money was all for charity. The more he sold, the happier Xu Yun was.
Following that, the third auction item was brought out one after another. The cheapest item was sold for more than 100,000 yuan, while the most expensive one was sold for one or two million yuan.
Tao Yinan's mind wasn't on the auction items at all. She looked around the hall, hoping to see Jiang Zixue.
However, after checking a few times, she was sure that Jiang Zixue wasn't there.
Next, she looked at the people who, like her, hadn't raised their cards yet.
Tao Yinan believed that these people probably had the same goal as her. They were all waiting for the bottle of red wine.
Time ticked by, and two more performances were performed. The charity auction was still going on. Soon, it was ten o 'clock.
The product that Sky Entertainment Corporation had spent a lot of time and effort to promote was finally brought out after a long wait!
1787 Chateau Lafite!
At this time, the host was very excited. "Everyone here knows that we are here today for a very important auction item! Now, let's bring it to our stage! "
After the hostess pushed the bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite onto the stage, the hall was filled with discussions.
Tao Yinan knew that a lot of people's eyes were locked on the bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite.
There were at least 20 people who hadn't raised their cards yet. Tao Yinan was sure that these people weren't just here for sightseeing.
"As you have no doubt heard, on December 5, 1985, a bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite was sold at Christie's in London for one hundred and five thousand pounds. The buyer was Malcolm Forbes, the publisher of Forbes magazine, and the seller was Hardy Rodenstock, a German wine collector. Moreover, this bottle once belonged to the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. His initials were engraved on the bottle, Th.J. "
The host introduced with a smile, "But today, we have the same bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite! I wonder who will be lucky enough to get it? "
The red cover was opened, and the precious bottle of wine was revealed.
Tao Yinan's eyes couldn't help but shine. It was obvious that she really wanted this bottle of red wine.
For a woman who loved red wine as much as her life, this was definitely more satisfying than any luxury bag.
"It's the same as all our previous auction items. The starting price is 10,000 pounds." The host smiled and said, "However, I believe that everyone should know that in 1985, the same bottle was sold for over 100,000 pounds in London. That means that it is worth at least one million pounds."
Tao Yinan had been waiting for this bottle of red wine for a long time.
"Alright, I'm sure everyone can't wait any longer. I won't waste everyone's time. The auction for this bottle of red wine will begin now!"
As soon as the words were said, someone couldn't wait to raise his card.
"One million."
The person who raised his card was No. 12. Tao Yinan noticed that he was also the person who hadn't bid before.
He must be a person who was determined to get it.
However, this price was just a starting price at most. He just called out the real starting price, excluding those who didn't understand red wine and those who didn't like red wine.
"One million and five hundred thousand!"
Before the auctioneer even had time to speak, No. 64 raised his card and called out his price.
This was a person who spent 800,000 pounds on a shabby dress. If he dared to do so, he must be very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to bid like this.
"One million and eight hundred thousand!"
Without a second's pause, No. 7 immediately refreshed the price.
The competition was quite strong. Tao Yinan smiled slightly. She wasn't in a hurry. People who bid at the beginning often couldn't last until the end.
This was a psychological cue.
If the first bid was more than one million, when the price reached twenty million, the price would be twenty times higher. However, if the first bid was ten million, then the next bid would only be two times higher.
Therefore, Tao Yinan wasn't in a hurry. She didn't treat the initial bid as the starting price at all. She would treat the price after the first round as the starting price before bidding.
"Two million and three hundred thousand!"
"Three million!"
The following two bids almost didn't stop. Obviously, everyone's interest in this bottle of wine was far higher than other things.
Tao Yinan sat quietly, waiting for the price to continue to double.
She was afraid that even if it doubled, there would still be people fighting for it.
"Four million!"
When the price began to increase by the millions, some people gave up competing. Even if it was for charity, it should be within the scope of their ability. It should be known that four million was enough to buy a house in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
Although these people didn't care about this level of house at all and lived in mansions worth tens of millions, it was still undeniable that the price of a bottle of red wine was different in these people's hearts.
