MTL - I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1510 Is there such an operation?
"Why don't we call the police directly?"
Looking at the billionaires around, Emma Watsent felt that she was sitting on a needle and felt that she was out of place with the atmosphere. After all, she is just a star who barely enters the first-line level, or with the help of the future people's group. The old woman sitting next to her is very calm. Her name is Evelyn Isabella, and she is the president of the International Children's Relief Organization.
The reason why it appears here is because the International Children's Relief Organization received a message from enthusiasts that a group of children in urgent need of help will be auctioned on the Diamond Princess Cruise. Emma Watsente is a member of the international feminist organization, and Evelyn Isabella is the year of the year, this time with her to go to the auction.
"Don't say that, Miss Watson," Evelyn Isabella said softly. "Don't say that the police can't help them, even the law can't help them."
"Why?" Emma couldn't help but ask.
"All the sins are concealed under the glamorous evening gown. You can't blame a caring tycoon for helping the orphans without evidence. Not to mention the auction of donations for orphanages and all orphans. Will be injected into a charitable foundation to help more war orphans... The auction is in the name of charity, at least nominally."
Speaking of this, the old lady Isabella sighed softly, and the crow's feet seemed to be a deeper point.
"This is the rules of the game. You and I have no ability to destroy it. Think about it, even a former president and her husband are involved. Compared to her, our voice is insignificant. What we can do. Just try to take it and then entrust it to a trusted rescue agency."
Emma was silent, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
The auction started.
The first to be exhibited was a piece of art, which is said to be a painting of the Renaissance. The original owner was a poorly managed collector who endured painstaking efforts for financial turnover. From the perspective of collection value, this painting is quite collectible.
However, the villa in Coro Island has enough art, almost no walls.
Sitting on the legs of Erlang, there was no placard in Jiangchen, just paying attention to the last transaction price.
After several rounds of intense auctions, the painting was taken by a 50-year-old man for $50 million.
Some of the exhibits on display later are either a relic of a vintage or a piece of art left by a famous master. Because there is no favorite thing, Jiang Chen symbolically raised the cards twice, see the price. Has been fired for a day, then no longer continue to join in the fun.
The auction will continue.
When it was halfway through, the light on the podium was slightly dark.
The audience under the audience stopped whispering and was sitting in danger. By convention, when the auction is halfway through, there will be a major show being exhibited. Jiang Chen noticed that many people were flashing with excitement in their eyes.
Obviously, they already know what is going to be auctioned.
The host cleared his throat and said.
"...the next thing to be auctioned is a special commodity. To be precise, it is not a commodity, but our love. An orphanage in the US Virgin Islands, a total of 100 from the war zone. Children are stranded there. Most of them are from Syria, and some are from the Balkans and Ukraine."
On the big screen, the picture is a group of pure and lovely girls like angels.
Their temperament is good, obviously after a good conditioning, and even received a certain degree of education, completely do not see a little bit of the dishes belonging to the refugees, or traces of the war.
Many people in the audience whispered and whispered excitedly.
The host continued to speak.
“The auction with the orphanage, as well as the custody of the children, and the title deeds of the orphanage’s isolated islands. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the War Orphans Relief Foundation to help more people in need. I hope that the winner of the auction will be able to shoulder the responsibility of the supporters and raise the children."
“The starting price is 10 million US dollars, and the minimum markup must not be less than 1 million. The auction starts!”
"20 million!"
The auction was almost at the beginning, and some people placarded, and the price doubled directly.
Charity auction?
Jiang Chen looked at the Germanic man holding the card next to him and looked at the excitement in his eyes. He always felt that this thing was not so simple.
"20 million once, there is no"
"Fifty million!"
"50 million once!"
Jiang Chen’s face showed a surprised expression.
This is only two rounds of bidding. The value of this orphanage has surpassed the renaissance oil painting that was previously exhibited. How did he not find out before, the local tyrants on Wall Street were so kind and good.
Sitting in the distance, Emma's look complicatedly put down the brand that was supposed to be lifted. The $50 million has exceeded the price she can afford. Mrs. Isabella, sitting next to her, sighed softly and could not do anything about such a crazy bid.
"Do you not placard?" Leslie looked at Jiang Chen sitting next to her, grinning and smiling. "I thought you would be interested."
Back leaning against the chair, Jiang Chen asked casually.
“Why do you think I am interested in charity?”
“Charity?” Leslie looked at Jiang Chen unexpectedly and was slightly surprised. “Do you really think this is a charity auction?”
"if not?"
“Remember what I said to you before?” Leslie smiled. “The auction showcases more than just art and luxury title deeds.”
Slightly smashed, Jiang Chen’s eyes immediately showed a trace of gloom.
Through Leslie's meaningful smile, he immediately read the meaning behind the smile.
"There was still this kind of operation." Looking at the photos on the projector with great interest, Jiang Chen picked up his eyebrows with interest and was "interesting."
The United States Virgin Islands is an unincorporated territory of the United States, and an orphanage built on the island is equivalent to an extraterritorial land. This reminds him of a report that Ghost Agents had only recently investigated, about the Clintons and the "Lolita Flight."
After several fierce bids, the price of the orphanage has been raised to $350 million.
This price is finally to let those buyers who originally intended to start thinking about whether this is worthwhile. Many of the hands that were supposed to be placards were also hesitated. Although many people are worth tens of billions, the liquidity in their hands is not so high that they can easily spend hundreds of millions of dollars.
At this time, Jiang Chen raised the card.
"400 million."
The people present were taking a sigh of relief.
Although there are a lot of rich people, there are not many rich people who are willing to spend one-tenth of their working capital in this area.
Sitting next to Jiang Chen, the rich eyebrow twitched and looked at it strangely. After hesitating for a moment, he wrote 500 million words on the sign.
"500 million!"
The atmosphere of the auction was instantly ignited to the high tide, and even the host was surprised for two or three seconds before returning to God to continue to shout.
"500 million! God, this price is really amazing! 500 million once ... 600 million! Oh, God will reward your good deeds, thank you, generous friends."
Looking at Jiang Chen’s calm expression, the rich man sitting next to him, his heart was not calm.
He couldn't help but wonder if this guy was in trouble. After all, the young look is not like a rich man. Miss Leslie Garcia, who is sitting next to him, may have this financial power, but her father will never allow her to spend a full $600 million at an auction.
Also surprised to see here is Elsa and her male partner, Mr. Berkeley Lewis. Elsa is very aware of Leslie's situation. The $600 million has already exceeded the scope of her funds. This is two and a half.
Is it because I look away? The male partner around her is actually a rich man with hidden identity? And is it still worth tens of billions?
Elsa frowned and thought about it, and couldn’t remember that there was such a young Chinese rich on Manhattan Island.
A faint uneasiness began to emerge in her heart.
Similarly, she cast a strange sight on Jiang Chen’s seat, and Emma Watsent, who was sitting not far away, looked at the familiar face slyly, and she did not expect to meet him here. Even more surprised, or shocked, I did not expect him to be such a person...
