Xu Yun wasn't interested in the Rolex, Vacheron Constantin watches, and Jiang Hong was just looking around.
Although Xu Yun had generously told Jiang Hong that he could pay for anything he wanted, Jiang Hong didn't care.
But Jiang Hong was too embarrassed to do that. The Jiang family had fallen to the point that they had "no family business", and he was from the Flying Dagger Swallow Sect. He didn't have a single cent on him …
It could be said that Jiang Hong felt embarrassed that he was freeloading in Xu Yun's house.
Now, Xu Yun even told him to bid for anything he wanted. How could he not feel embarrassed? Moreover, his memory of luxury goods was from ten years ago. In the past ten years, he had been concentrating on his cultivation by Mr. Jin Guoyi's side. How could he have the time to pay attention to these luxury goods? They were meaningless to him.
Ten years of indifference to fame and fortune had made Jiang Hong used to it.
Bulgari, Chanel … After a bunch of jewelry, the highlight of the day finally appeared.
Compared to those limited edition bags with a starting price of 35,000 yuan, watches with a starting price of 80,000 yuan, and even jewelry with a starting price of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, this villa with a starting price of 50 million yuan was really not something that ordinary people would dare to look at.
But in such a place with good feng shui, such a place with outstanding people, and such a big house, almost everything could be done except for not being able to play golf.
This starting price was really bad. If it was sold as a commercial house, it would be a loss if it wasn't at least 100 million yuan.
Moreover, this house was full of the best mahogany furniture. It was full of all kinds of things with room for appreciation and collectible value. Even if it was 200 million yuan, it wouldn't be a loss!
But in this economic situation, there weren't many people who could take out 200 million yuan at once. Xu Yun didn't have the money himself, so the money had to be transferred from Sky Entertainment Group's account.
Fortunately, the cultural and entertainment industry had been developing well in recent years. People who were involved in literature and art were not affected.
The entertainment film industry was even more prosperous. Any random lousy film could earn hundreds of millions of yuan at the box office. In the past, artistic films that could not be sold for millions of yuan could now be sold for hundreds of millions of yuan at the box office. It was really not an ordinary popularity.
Therefore, Sky Entertainment Group had been making a lot of money these past few years. It could even be said that they had made a lot of money.
With Sky Entertainment Group's current strength, the super A-listers under the company earned enough money to buy such a house.
Moreover, there really were people who had this idea. They really wanted to come to the auction. However, with Zuo Meiyan's words, who would dare to compete with the boss?
Wouldn't that be asking for trouble? Hence, the rich celebrities really didn't buy it.
The only ones who could afford it were the super businessmen. However, with the current economic situation, even the super businessmen would have a headache.
The only ones who could afford this were those greedy tigers who hadn't fallen off their horses yet! The few fish that escaped the net must be thinking of ways to transfer the money abroad. Who would dare to come out here and spend one or two hundred million yuan to buy a villa?
What a fool!
Therefore, Xu Yun had no competitors today.
After the starting price was announced, Xu Yun was the first to bid. To show his confidence, he directly increased the price by five million yuan.
This was still far from the price Xu Yun had in mind. Not to mention the 900 square meter house and the 200 to 300 square meter garage, just the mahogany furniture and rosewood furniture in the house could be sold for 50 million if they were to be auctioned alone, right?
However, after Xu Yun bid, no one else in the auction house made a second bid.
Damn! Xu Yun couldn't believe it himself. He just bid, and then … there was no more.
What was wrong with people these days? Why were they so poor?
Just now, there were many people who bought a bag for fifty to eighty thousand yuan. There were also many people who bought a watch for a hundred to two hundred thousand yuan. Why were they all silent now?
One had to know that Xu Yun's ideal price for a bag was five to eight hundred yuan. He didn't even look at a bag that cost five to eight thousand yuan. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but that he didn't think it was worth it.
But this house was different. There were only nine houses in the whole of Qingdao! Red sandalwood and mahogany were scarce resources all over the world.
Xu Yun really felt that this house was worth it. Although 50 million yuan was indeed a terrifying price, it was really worth it. It was much more worth it than thirty to fifty thousand yuan for a broken bag.
"Fifty-five million yuan going three times!"
After the hammer fell, Xu Yun was a little stunned. This was too out of his expectations. He really couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe it at all.
After the auction, Xu Yun quickly signed the contract with the auction house. After all the procedures were completed, he just waited for the transfer of the money tomorrow.
After Xu Yun told the news to Zuo Meiyan, Zuo Meiyan was also very surprised. She had already planned to buy this house even if she had to pay three hundred million yuan.
Who would have thought that Xu Yun would be able to get it with just five million after one bid?
Life was unpredictable.
In fact, it wasn't that there was no competition. There were people in the auction house who wanted to bid.
But when they saw that the first bidder was the big boss of the Sky Entertainment Group, they knew that there was no point in competing. They simply stopped bidding and accepted the beauty of the person.
Xu Yun's reputation in Qingdao was still very good. The Sky Entertainment Group did all kinds of charity, and the poor counties all over the country did education programs for Project Hope. These things were reported on the Internet every day.
As the boss of the Sky Entertainment Group, Xu Yun had already taken on the reputation of a great philanthropist.
Compared to the nouveau riche who spent two hundred million yuan to buy a chicken tea bowl, Xu Yun's house was worth it.
However, Xu Yun didn't dare to compare with that nouveau riche. Nouveau riche Liu had spent nearly one billion yuan to buy a naked woman lying on her side!
Nouveau riche Liu could buy these artworks and display them in his art gallery in Shen Jiang, so that the people of the country could appreciate such awesome art without going out.
However, Xu Yun wasn't interested in this. After all, there were only a few people who could appreciate this kind of art.
People who were crazy about art and would die if they didn't appreciate it had already gone to foreign art galleries to appreciate it.
He believed that most people who went to "appreciate" art were not the kind of people who would die if they didn't appreciate it.
Xu Yun didn't have the grand goal of "letting more people appreciate art without going out". However, Xu Yun had the small goal of "letting more children who couldn't afford to go to school, let more people who couldn't afford to eat, and let more people who couldn't afford to wear clothes".
This goal obviously wasn't something that could be achieved by one person, but Xu Yun swore to do his best to achieve it.
At the end of the year meeting, Xu Yun would propose his idea. He wanted the Sky Entertainment Group to donate fifty percent of its annual profits to charity.
As for the artists under the Sky Entertainment Group, they had to donate at least twenty percent of their earnings to charity. This was mandatory! In the future, the artists' contracts would be signed like this.
Other than that, the employees of the Sky Entertainment Group had to do the same. Of course, they couldn't force them, but he would mention setting up a Sky Entertainment Fund. It would be the money that the employees contributed. Ten or twenty thousand wasn't too much, one hundred or two hundred wasn't too little.
If this idea of national charity was passed down, he believed that Hua Xia would become better in the future.
Those who appreciated elegant works of art might never see the orphans living in the ravines of barren hills and unruly rivers …
If these children could receive the same education as ordinary children, they might be able to become Nobles in the future.
However, they didn't have the chance. They had completely lost at the starting line.
Some people would think that the poor deserved to be poor. That was because they had no aspirations, no dreams, and no goals.
However, not all of them were like that. Take some orphans for example. They were originally poor. Their father worked outside. Perhaps they died in an accident because of the irresponsibility of the black coal mine owner, or because of the irresponsibility of the construction site's foreman …
Then, they had a cruel mother who abandoned her child and ran away.
Once their elderly grandparents passed away … they would really become orphans.
If they had a warm and normal family, they might not become Nobel Prize winners, but they would at least become useful people for the development of society.
Instead of becoming a useless person, a beggar, a wanderer, a thief, or a criminal.
At birth, man's nature is good. Their hearts are similar, but their habits are different …
The ancestors' Three Character Classic was very reasonable. The habits and environment of a person were what they were.
