Raising charity, 120 million
“So beautiful!”
When Tang Zexue walked onto the stage wearing a white strapless evening dress designed by Georges Hobeka, she immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
This dress seems to be specially made for her. The high waistline design is slim and slim, revealing her perfect figure.
The one-shoulder dress with a one-shoulder collar design makes people feel like a perfect goddess from ancient Greek mythology.
Many celebrities in the audience were amazed, and even many agents from entertainment companies also had their eyes lit up.
“What a pity, this is the female companion of the richest man in China, otherwise she would have been hired by her own company!”
While everyone couldn’t help but admire her, some were extremely jealous.
At this time, Li Zekai saw that Li Shanshan’s female companion was so beautiful. He looked at Liang Luoshi, who he had made an appointment with, and suddenly felt bad.
Why have I never met such a beautiful woman?
What can you do if you are the richest man in China?
Can you do whatever you want if you have money?
…
While Li Zekai was incompetent and furious, Tang Zexue on the stage took the auction items from his idol, and then took a photo with Andy Lau.
After completing the ceremony, she returned to Li Shanshan excitedly.
She was really happy today. She put on a beautiful dress, met her favorite star, and more importantly, she was now with the person she liked.
Next, the auction will continue.
Andy Lau looked at the card in his hand and said: “Now, I announce that the next collection is a set of Wedgwood bone china provided by our Sun Hung Kai Group Chairman, Mr. Guo Bingxiang, including a teapot and four teacups.”
Bone china was founded in the United Kingdom and is recognized as the highest-grade porcelain in the world. It is known as “thin as paper, white as jade, bright as a mirror, and sounds like a chime”.
Even now, bone china is a symbol of the owner’s identity and status, and the most famous among them is Wedgwood’s bone china in England.
Wedgwood bone china has been used by the British royal family for nearly 250 years. Queen Catherine of Russia is also a loyal supporter of this brand of bone china and once ordered a complete set of 952 pieces of bone china.
The set being auctioned tonight is naturally no ordinary Wedgwood bone china, but a gift presented to Emperor Qianlong when the British mission went to China in 1793, so it is extremely precious.
It can be seen that Guo Bingxiang was able to take it out because he attached great importance to this auction.
In this way, the starting price of this Wedgwood bone china from the Qianlong period reached 5 million yuan, and each bid should not be less than 10,000 yuan.

“A broken teapot worth 5 million?”
Li Shanshan glanced at Guo Bingxiang and thought to himself, these old Xiangjiang rich families really have something to hide!
As this round of auctions began, the set of broken teapots that Li Xianxin saw quickly exceeded the high price of 8 million yuan.
Is it so valuable just because this teapot was used by Emperor Qianlong?
In the end, this set of Wedgwood bone china was bought by Xiangjiang media tycoon Liu Changle for 9.99 million yuan.
Originally, when the price reached 9.5 million, no one could compete with him.
But Liu Changle saw that no one was taking pictures anymore, so he added another 490,000, and finally reached 9.99 million!
On the one hand, he did this to donate more money to the disaster area. On the other hand, he actually felt that the number 950 was unlucky.
The largest number in China is 9, and this teapot was used by Emperor Qianlong, so of course it costs 9.99 million!
Regarding this, Li Shanshan couldn’t help but sigh, these Xiangjiang people really know how to play!
In the third round, the auction item was a royal diamond chess set designed by the famous French jewelry designer and artist Bernard Marquin, which can be called the most expensive chess set in the world.
Bernard Macon led more than 40 skilled craftsmen and spent about 5,400 hours using 9,900 black and white diamonds to assemble it purely by hand. The diamond weight is as high as 186.09 carats.
The starting price this time is 5 million yuan!
“6 million!” Just after Andy Lau finished his introduction, someone shouted out the quotation.
“7 million!”
“8 million!”
Li Xianshan sat in the audience, looking at this so-called royal diamond chess set. The price soared like a rocket.
In the end, this chess set was auctioned for 10 million, which really shocked everyone.
Next, various auction items were brought up, including diamond-encrusted underwear, the finest perfume launched by the famous French brand Christian Dior, and a Montblanc global limited edition sapphire pen.
Because it was a charity gala, everyone was very enthusiastic about participating throughout the night. Rich people and celebrities in Hong Kong also donated generously. In the end, the charity gala raised a total of more than 120 million yuan!
At the end of the dinner, Li Shanshan once again expressed his gratitude and promised to deliver this donation to the people in the disaster area as quickly as possible!
After the event, Li Shanshan accepted Guo Bingxiang’s invitation and attended a gathering of the top tycoons in Hong Kong.
Li Jiacheng, once a leading figure in Hong Kong’s rich circle, has long been living in seclusion and no longer appears in public.
The current rich circle is also in disarray, but everyone understands that as long as Li Shanshan is in Xiangjiang for one day, he will be the well-deserved boss in this circle.
This private party lasted for a long time, and after it ended, Li Shanshan took Tang Zexue back to the Repulse Bay Villa.
