Rebirth Turn - Chapter 89

The two people who were approaching were men, one old and one young. The old man looked in his fifties, the young man in his thirties, and the two looked a bit like father and son.

Lu Yan asked Su Mo to say this, and began to pay attention to the two of them, but Lu Yan was sure that he had never seen these two people, but they looked a little familiar.

Until the two walked in front of them, the older man stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said to Su Mo, “Su Dong, you are here too.”

Su Mo also hung up a smile and shook hands with him gently, “It’s rare to see Old Chen coming in person.”

Chen Lao still smiled and said, “It’s a good thing to do charity.”

Su Mo didn’t say anything. Instead, he nodded slightly to the young man behind Chen Lao, and said with a smile, “The eldest son is here too.”

The young man hurried forward and said politely, “Su Dong, hello.”

Su Mo smiled and nodded.

After Chen Lao greeted him, he glanced at Lu Yan who was sitting next to Su Mo, especially the golden bidding card in his hand, and said, “Su Dong, who is this?”

Su Mo said in a very casual tone, “Oh, his name is Lu Yan.”

Lu Yan nodded to the two of them with a smile.

Su Mo turned his head again and said to Lu Yan with a smile, “This is Chen Bosheng Chen Lao, and that is his eldest son Chen Xu.”

Lu Yan suddenly realized that it was Chen Yue’s father and brother. The three of them looked alike, no wonder they were familiar.

Chen Baisheng saw that Su Mo’s affectionate attitude towards Lu Yan was different from that of others. In addition to the brand Lu Yan was holding and the bearing and charm he showed, he immediately raised the same question as everyone else, could it be where it came from? ‘s family children?

Su Lu and the two knew they had misunderstood when they looked at him, but they didn’t mean to explain.

Before eight o’clock, all the guests were in place, and the charity auction started on time.

The auction process is generally from low to high, and the previous lots all have lower starting prices, so Lu Yan’s piece must be reserved for the end.

Every time the host presents a lot, he will give a brief introduction at the same time, and finally specify the name of the donor. Another advantage of this is that each guest present will have some inextricable connection, or some people want to have a good relationship or get in touch with others, or the original partner wants To further close the relationship, they will deliberately take donations from the person who wants to set up a relationship. After all, at such a charity auction, it would be quite embarrassing if no one asked for your donation. For the sake of face, some people are afraid that their donations will not be taken care of at that time, and they will find a good guest in advance, ask the other party to help take pictures, and then pay to redeem them later. So in fact, there are very few unsold cases, and the more influential people’s donations are, the more popular they are.

It is conceivable that the first few auctions have the lowest starting bids, and the donors are generally the least influential, so basically the starting bids plus one bid are sold directly.

However, the guests present are basically the real aristocratic families in the city or the newly rising wealthy families, and the shots will not be too low, so the donation with the lowest starting price will be 500,000 yuan.

Most of the ones after that are between fifty and one million. Although the auction price is high, the donations are basically worth this price, and most of them are worth the money, so the guests present actually donated their own donations.

There are fewer donations of more than one million, but there are several. The starting price of the form donated by Su Mo was 2 million, not the highest, but it was enough weight, not only in line with his identity, but also low-key. But Lu Yan knew that the watch should be worth at least three million.

But these are not the point. The point is that the watch donated by Su Mo was the most intense auction item in the auction. Except for Su Mo and Lu Yan, almost all the guests present participated in the bidding, and the final transaction price was 7 million, which was not only several times more than the starting price, but also much higher than its own value. The successful bidder was a middle-aged man in his forties. Seeing the excitement on his face, he didn’t feel that he was being taken advantage of. On the contrary, several of those who were not photographed were a little dejected.

Although there was nothing that Su Mo was interested in in the auctions present, on such an occasion, it was not very good to not take pictures at all, so he just took two pictures casually. Completely different from the fierce bidding of his own donations, as soon as Su Mo opened his mouth, even those who were originally interested in the auction did not increase the price, let alone those who were not interested in the first place, so the two that Su Mo wanted. The painting is also done by adding one bidding price to the starting price. This is quite unusual for the most popular collectibles on occasions like this. But when it came to Su Mo, everything that was unreasonable became reasonable.

Su Mo took this kind of phenomenon lightly, he had long been used to it.

Lu Yan looked at Su Mo’s eyes very brightly, and whispered, “So Dong Su is so influential!”

Su Mo deliberately gave him a sidelong glance, “I thought you already knew.”

Lu Yan smiled meaningfully, “It’s not too late to know now.”

The two secretly chatted a few words, the auction has come to an end, and the host’s tone has become particularly excited, “Then is the last lot of this auction, and I have hosted so many charity auctions to see it. The most valuable donations received. Please forgive me that this auction is temporarily unavailable to everyone, but you can rest assured that we have identified it and it is absolutely genuine. This auction is now under the care of our staff. , waiting for someone who is destined to take him away. I think everyone must be very curious now, what exactly is this lot. So good, I won’t sell it, this lot is… “

While speaking, the host gestured for the staff holding a plate to approach, lifted the cover, and said loudly, “Aston Martin’s latest global limited edition this year! This latest limited edition sports car is only available in the world. One hundred cars, whether in terms of performance, styling, or collection value, are currently top-notch…”

Next, the host gave a eloquent introduction, which was completely different from the concise introduction to each item before.

The guests present were also a little turbulent. As long as they were interested in cars, especially sports cars, few people could resist the temptation of this top sports car. And this Aston Martin, which is limited to 100 cars in the world, can be said to be hard to find, and it is not something you can buy if you have money. At the beginning, Chen Yue spent countless thoughts on this car, exhausted all methods, and finally got one. If he wasn’t too confident, and he was hot-headed at the time, he wouldn’t bet against Lu Yan with this car anyway.

The host introduced it for almost ten minutes before finally saying, “Let’s thank Mr. Lu Yan, the most generous donor tonight, with applause.”

The host pointed his finger over, and everyone’s eyes focused. Lu Yan stood up slightly, bowed, and sat back. Everyone else suddenly realized that he would have a gold medal. It turned out that the donation was Aston Martin. , it’s a big deal.

At this time, the host was already quoting, “This top sports car, which is limited to 100 cars in the world, is hard to find, and the starting price is: 35 million!”

In fact, this price is lower than the price of the car itself, not to mention its added value, so the bidding was fierce at the beginning. However, only a few guests who really had a soft spot for sports cars participated in the bidding, and there was no such thing as a full-court auction like Su Mo’s donation.

The only ones present who were uncomfortable were the Chen family father and son.

When the host first introduced the car, Chen Xu whispered in Chen Bosheng’s ear, “Dad, could it be the one that my brother lost?”

This edition of the top sports car is limited to 100 cars in the world. As far as they know, only their younger brother Chen Yue bought one in the city. He just lost this sports car some time ago, and it is too coincidental that it appeared at the auction today. Besides, if it wasn’t too easy to get, how could anyone be willing to donate it.

Chen Baisheng’s face was also very ugly, “I think 80% of this prodigal son is. Moreover, this car should have been donated by Mr. Lu next to Su Dong. No wonder we asked him who he lost to, but he didn’t say anything. “

Although he is willing to admit defeat, but his own things are used by others to show off, there is simply a kind of annoyance for others to marry. Chen Xu sighed in his heart, this little brother is too naive, he asked in a low voice, “Would you like us to take a picture of it?”

Chen Baisheng shook his head, “No matter what Mr. Lu’s background is, haven’t you seen Dong Su’s attitude towards him? He is not something we can afford to offend. Taking pictures of the car now does not show that we have won against him. Are you dissatisfied with the sports car?”

Chen Xu nodded, but his father thought long-term, “I see.”

Chen Baisheng glanced at the eldest son and sighed in his heart. Although the eldest son has good qualifications, he has helped a lot in the company over the years and has gradually matured, but it is still far from the Su brothers. But having said that, even these old rivers and lakes have to be obedient in front of Su Mo. Among the young people today, who is his opponent? In the future, after all, the Su family will be able to follow the lead.

The final transaction price of the car was 45 million, which was exactly in line with the value of the car itself.

After the deal, the host specially invited Lu Yan, the biggest donor of the night, to come to the stage to say a few words, but Lu Yan did not refuse, but walked up to the stage generously and said with a smile, “Actually, the generous person is not me, but me. There are other people. Tonight, I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. The real donor of this Aston Martin is Mr. Chen Yuechen. He is unable to attend tonight’s auction because of something, so he asked me to donate on his behalf. I think we should Applause to the truly generous Mr. Chen!”

Chen’s father and son were stunned by a burst of applause. They never thought that Lu Yan would actually say such a thing.

At this time, a guest who had a good relationship with Chen Baisheng came to touch him, “Isn’t the second boy in your family called Chen Yue? Is this the car he donated?”

Chen Baisheng was still a little stunned, “It should be, it should be.”

“Why, don’t you know? He wants to donate a car, why doesn’t he let you donate, and he has to find an outsider?”

Chen Baisheng had recovered his senses, and deliberately said angrily, “He probably wanted to surprise us, boy, we will definitely support this kind of good deeds. We must teach him a good lesson when we go back.”

“Hey, don’t, your second kid is finally sensible, shouldn’t you be happy?”

Chen Baisheng’s face was already grinning, but he was still saying, “Where, where, the child is naughty, naughty!”

At this time, other acquaintances with the Chen family also came over and praised Chen Yue a few words to Chen Bosheng.

Chen Bosheng was already happy in his heart. For a father, being praised by others for his son is more fulfilling than directly praising himself.

When Lu Yan came, he was driving the Aston Martin that had been donated. Now, when he went back, he happened to be with Su Mo.

The two were looking for a car in the parking lot, and suddenly there were a few calls from behind, “Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, stay away!”

The two turned back together, and as expected, it was the Chen family father and son who were catching up.

Chen Baisheng bowed to Lu Yan, “Mr. Lu, thank you very much for saying that today.”

Lu Yan smiled, “Old Chen is very polite, what I said is the truth. The car is indeed owned by Chen Yue, but I handled it without authorization, and I also ask Mr. Chen not to take offense.”

Chen Baisheng waved his hand and said, “Don’t say that, Mr. Lu, we all know that the car was lost to you by Chen Yue, and what you do with it is your right. What I want to thank is that you helped us keep the Chen family. Face, but also let Chen Yue out of the limelight, thank you.”

What Chen Bosheng said is true. In any case, Chen Yue bought a limited edition Aston Martin, which many people know in the circle. He is not the kind of person who can hide things, not to mention that young people like to show off. When he first bought a car, he was not less flamboyant in the circle. And now that he doesn’t have that car, there will definitely be a lot of people asking where he goes, and even if he doesn’t ask in person, the fact that he lost the car will soon be revealed. And Lu Yan donated the car for Chen Yue with great fanfare today, so most people will not pursue the car again, and will only be surprised by Chen Yue’s generosity. Because no one believes that someone will donate such a good car that they won, and it is still in the name of the original owner.

For the Chen family, money is not an issue, face is the most important thing.

Lu Yan’s words not only saved the Chen family from becoming a laughing stock, but also made the Chen family a limelight, so Lu Yan deserves his thank you.

After Chen’s father and son left, Su Mo looked at Lu Yan and said with a smile, “The city is so deep, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Yan spread his hands and said, “What’s wrong with selling a favor? Besides, I didn’t think of the limelight at all.”

Su Mo nodded, “Actually, this is very good. Although the Chen family is not very rich, their financial resources are among the best in this city. Sometimes, money can make a ghost push the mill. Even some noble families, in their hearts Speaking of the upstarts, on the surface, you still have to please. It is much smarter to befriend them than to offend them.”

“I see.” Lu Yan smiled.

A **** from the Chen family who is not involved in production can casually lose a sports car worth tens of millions without blinking his eyes, which shows his rich financial resources.
