The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 2093: Vicissitudes
"Haha, do you see his face? It's like being punched in the face by Tyson. It's so funny."
Looking at the gloating Andre, Lan Li shook his head slightly and motioned with his eyes, which made Andre stunned, and then slowly came back to his senses.
During the auction, the whole audience shouted prices, and it was easy to get mad and lose reason. Andrei was completely immersed in the excitement/feeling of the auction just now, so that he was a little forgetful. Now that he calmed down, he also noticed the abnormality. , Frowning involuntarily, "Is the one who is coming towards you, or is it me?"
"There are only a few who know the owner of the auction item in advance. They must be people we know or whom Alexander trusts. This means that the other party is likely to be directed at you." Lan Li calmly gave. Out of analysis.
At present, they have too little information and not much analyzed content:
That forty-three was the dark horse that came out in the final stage. Before that, Andre and Dave were mainly competing, coupled with the blending of Matthew and Eaton, it is not difficult to see that Andre should be determined to win. In the end, on the 43rd, Dave beat Dave with a continuous increase in prices. The most likely time is for Andre.
Of course, it could also be for Dave, it could be for Alexander, or it could be for Renly... the potential could be too much.
But what is certain is that the chance of auctioning a snuff bottle with a market value of 300,000 pounds for 1.5 million pounds purely for personal collection is really too small. Even for charity, this is somewhat unreasonable. What's more, this is a gathering place for the upper class with intricate connections. The guests present can be more or less involved in the relationship, so it is difficult to simply look at the reasons.
Obviously, this is not good news for Dave.
Dave's face was not very good-looking, and Beatrice was still immersed in the excitement just now, and for a while he ignored Dave's depression.
Just as everyone thought the excitement was over, auctioneer Howard said again, "Congratulations to Mr. 43 for winning the bid for £1.5 million. Regarding this auction item, we have hidden the donation. The name of the person can be regarded as a hidden surprise at the auction, and now the answer can finally be announced. Let us applaud and thank Mr. Lanley-Hall for his generous donation."
what?
The guests on the scene were surprised and delighted, and they showed incredible expressions, and the applause continued one after another. Those staring eyes intertwined with admiration made the atmosphere of the audience subtle; and then toward the 43rd. The sight cast by the agent became more and more wonderful.
Dave sat there, his stiff expression was really hard to judge the specific emotions.
"After the auction is over, Mr. Lanly-Hall will personally hand over the snuff bottle to the winning bidder. Thank these two gentlemen for their joint contribution to charity." Howard's words made the applause at the scene more enthusiastic, and his eyes The information contained in it is too mixed.
No one can be sure whether this is better news for the winning bidder or better news for Lan Li-or a win-win situation: the meeting between Lan Li and No. 43 is likely to be It is not known what the final result will be after the establishment of a bridge of contacts.
So, who is the 43rd?
In any case, the second stage of the auction ended in a lively atmosphere. It was obvious that the residual temperature was still surging in the air, so that the opening of the third stage of the auction was a little dull—nothing. The way, the waves created by the snuff bottle are really too exaggerated.
Even Alexander was somewhat helpless.
Lan Li turned his head and cast his gaze towards Alexander, but found that Alexander spread his hands out with a smile: He also did not have the ability to check the auction numbers corresponding to the guests one by one, and now there is no way to know the true identity of No. 43, or Need to look back; he did not expect the accident on the forty-third, 1.5 million pounds, no matter what the real purpose of the other party, Alexander must buy this favor.
After the charity auction was over, Alexander, as the organizer, was able to raise such a large amount of money, and his name would undoubtedly rise to a higher level. Whether as a direct or indirect beneficiary, he could not take this favor. Throw away, so he also needs to pay close attention to the follow-up development of this matter.
The third stage of the auction kicked off with a football donated by David Beckham.
Beckham donated a ball for the final of this year's World Cup in Brazil, and invited the main players of the British national team to complete the autographs, and of course, his own autographs.
This year is a very dark year for the British football team. The World Cup was out of the group stage and finally ranked 26th among the top 32. It was the lowest ranked among the traditional powerhouses, and even the defending champion who was out of the group stage. Spain is even worse. The teams that have been hailed as "the strongest national team" have not been able to break through some famous names, which is really disappointing.
But no matter what, the influence of football in the UK is still self-evident, and all the connections and fame that Beckham possesses come from this.
The auction will select Beckham as the opening guest of the third stage. This is also an affirmation of him. I look forward to his ability to drive the atmosphere of the scene; unfortunately, everyone did not anticipate the accident of the snuff bottle, and the whole situation was separated. After the initial development track, Beckham became cannon fodder-unintentionally.
The auction of signature footballs was not deserted, but the overall popularity was indeed disappointing. In the end, it was only sold for 800 pounds, creating the lowest price since the auction today.
Soon after, the items donated by Victoria Beckham also appeared. She chose a pair of high heels designed by herself, mainly to show her own characteristics and to make a name for her fashion brand. Unfortunately, today's charity auction is destined to be a non-ordinary occasion. Choosing to promote it here is destined to be unsatisfactory.
In the end, the high-heeled shoes sparked some competition, and they were sold at a price of £2,600, which was basically in line with the original market price of the item.
With the warm-up and advancement, the third stage of the auction finally began to slowly become lively.
Maggie Smith donated the script for the first episode of the first season of "Downton Abbey", Vera-Wang donated a new wedding dress, and Ian McLean donated a painting of her own... …And so on, without art, more are the personal items of public figures, including but not limited to gloves, clothing, water bottles, photography, jewelry, movie peripherals, etc., each item has its own meaning .
This is the mainstream of charity auctions. Everyone contributes their strength. Compared with the value of items, the support for charity is the most important thing. Those small items can be auctioned for thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds to contribute to charity. A piece of strength is enough. In comparison, the second stage of the auction is a scene unique to the upper class, and even a little shocking.
As for the auction price, there are high and low. It may be based on fame, item, or fate... The value of the item itself cannot be accurately estimated. In the end, you still need to look at the auction atmosphere on the spot, anyway, the final auction. The amount is for charity, isn't it?
The so-called "starlight" is not just artists, but all public figures are included, such as upstarts in the financial district of London, such as best-selling writers, such as district councillors, such as TV hosts, etc., and so on, more grounded. At the same time, it also added a bit of relaxation and joy to the whole auction.
Unknowingly, more than forty items were auctioned in the third stage, and then the whole event came to an end.
Howard also looked a little tired. The duration of the whole auction was a bit too high. Although the intermediate period took two breaks, it was still overloaded. "Our schedule has been delayed a little bit. It is now close to lunch time, in order to avoid interruptions. Everyone’s physiological needs time, we’d better speed up the progress a little bit.” Howard also enlivened the atmosphere a little bit, and then went back to the last auction tonight.
"Next, we will have the last auction item in the audience. Just like the preview, we specially invited a mysterious guest, hoping that he can add more color to our auction. In fact, he does."
The guests stayed quiet.
"This is undoubtedly the most watched and most successful actor in the world in the past five years. There is no one. He broke the prejudice with his exquisite and delicate performance. Regarding age, about role, about birth, and so on, he It proves one thing: the excellence and excellence of actors are only related to their profession."
"He became the youngest in history ~lightnovelpub.net~ and it took less than four years to create such a miracle; he created many records in the box office of the movie, and his strong appeal has truly achieved the feat of being a home in the world. ; At the same time, he also has his own beliefs in charity and is giving back to the society in his own way."
"The most important thing is that this actor comes from a famous family. His family background is undoubtedly popular with people, but he bravely left his comfort zone and devoted himself to acting, making the world aware that the British This piece of land has once again bred a great actor who went down in history!"
"I think you should all know the identity of this mysterious guest! The snuff bottle he donated just made a sensation, and now he has brought today's second donation item. Let us applaud and welcome: Lan Li-Huo Your Excellency!"
Even when the elites gather, even when the nobles gather, even when they are polite, at this moment, in Howard's words, it is inevitable that they will be excited, applause sounded, and gradually evolved from the polite salute. It became a thunderous sensation, and the audience could feel the excitement, and it was inevitable to bring curiosity in the sight.
