Rebirth 1955 starts from the hunter
Chapter 202 Charity Auction 2
When the per capita income in Hong Kong was only 300 Hong Kong dollars, the Lin family had already stood at the top of the pyramid in Hong Kong.
The Lou family owns 20% of the shares in Hong Kong's six factories, and a total of four restaurants are wholly owned by the Lou family.
Properties such as docks, cargo ships, large warehouses, and recently purchased land are now owned by Donglin International.
Gambling dens, arms, loan companies, entertainment venues, etc. are businesses with Jingsheng and have nothing to do with Donglin International.
Donglin International now pays a percentage of its profits as management fees each year. Lou Xiao'e is nominally the general manager and has recruited many professional managers to take charge of management.
With the supervision of the American tax bureau, insurance company and law firm, Lin Dong is not afraid of any trouble.
Besides, Lin Dong has spiritual awareness and a super memory, so checking the accounts will only take minutes. No one can cook the books under his nose.
It’s not that Lin Dong is reluctant to share the shares with his family, it’s just that now is not the right time.
Donglin International was just starting out, and Lin Dong needed absolute say. Without shares, he would also receive less attention.
Those sitting in the first row were naturally the last to arrive. Before Lin Dong sat down, several top families including the Huo family, the He family, the Li family, etc. had already arrived.
Lin Dong took a quick look and saw that there were thirty-six people sitting in the front row, each of them representing a family.
What if a family has many people coming? Naturally, they will discuss among themselves who will represent the family and sit in the first row.
Just like the Luo family, Luo Feier sat in the first row, and Luo Yan, the second brother, took the initiative to sit behind his sister.
Just more than ten seats away from Lin Dong, Luo Feier's face turned red with anger. When she saw Guo Weifang sitting next to Lin Dong, she secretly cursed Guo Jinhui for being shameless and deliberately making such arrangements.
Although they all sit in the first row, it does not mean that their wealth is the same. It can even be said that there is a huge difference. It can only be said that their social status is similar.
For example, the Luo family, the Ma family, the Guo family, etc., their total assets have just crossed the 10 billion threshold, and many are even less than 10 billion.
The reason why it can be on equal footing with the Lin family, the Huo family, the Li family, etc.
This is because there are powerful people in the family in a certain field or government.
Having the right to speak is a kind of wealth, and sometimes it is more useful than real money.
Because today is Miss Guo San's coming-of-age ceremony, all those who came were younger people, so the scene was less restrained and very lively.
The banquets and rules of Hong Kong people are similar to those in China. People also like to have a lively atmosphere and pay attention to the number of meat and vegetables, and the number of plates and bowls.
The banquets held by wealthy families are imitations of those in Western countries, and the self-service model is extremely polarized.
The seats are arranged because of the auction. If it is just a coming-of-age ceremony, it will be a relaxing and fun party with a lot of freedom. Just don't step into a circle that doesn't belong to you.
Only when the host in a suit and tie came on stage did the discussions below die down a little.
“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I am Peter from Christie’s Auction House.
"Today was originally Miss Guo's 18th birthday ceremony."
"I witnessed the hardworking and kind people of Y South being bullied by terrorists."
"Ms. Guo, who is full of compassion, entrusted the project to the Red Cross and Christie's Auction House, hoping to contribute to the suffering people in Yunnan."
"At the beginning of the charity auction, on behalf of Christie's, I would like to extend my sincere blessings to Miss Guo. May the beautiful and kind Miss Guo remain young and smiling forever."
"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah..."
"Now, please welcome Ms. Alia from the notary office."
The foreign girl, wearing a white suit and a notary public work ID on her chest, stood next to Pete amid applause.
"I am Alia, and on behalf of the Central District Notary Office, I hereby certify that this charity fundraising is a legal public welfare..."
The staff from the notary office and the Hong Kong Red Cross Society sat at the workbench next to them and took out their notebooks.
Peter spoke again, "I'm sure all of you handsome men and beautiful women would not like a greasy middle-aged uncle standing here and wasting time. Let's start the auction of our first treasure now."
Pete took the card handed over by the staff. At the same time, a beautiful model in a bright red cheongsam walked to the center of the auction table with a tray, and stood there with a sweet smile, looking at the guests below tenderly.
The tray was just covered with red silk cloth, so I didn't know what was underneath.
"Oh my, that's amazing!"
Pitt's exaggerated facial movements aroused great curiosity among the rich second generation present.
Fortunately, Pete is a man of propriety, and he knows that showing off in front of these rich second-generations will make others dislike him.
Lin Dong knew that the finale item must be from the Guo family, and this was also the unspoken rule.
He was also curious about whose belongings the Guo family would put first, which also indirectly proved that he was the Guo family's most distinguished guest today.
Lin Dong originally wanted to use his spiritual sense to check, but he felt that it was boring to do so all the time, so he resisted the urge.
Peter's face was filled with excitement as he said loudly, "Today's first lot is two taels of purple rhyme tea donated by Mr. Lin Dong, the president of Donglin International."
"Wow..." As soon as Pete finished speaking, the whole audience exclaimed.
Lin Dong was also very surprised. He had clearly changed his mind at the last minute and wanted to auction the pink diamond, but the Ziyun tea was a gift.
Ziyun tea is made from the tender buds of purple bamboo that Lin Dong transplanted from the cave to the Taoist temple.
Although the transplanted purple bamboo did not increase in hardness, its leaves did have a more fragrant smell.
Last year, Lin Dong had a sudden idea and made the tender buds into tea. Unexpectedly, it not only has a strong fragrance, but also has immediate effects on strengthening the spleen and stomach, eliminating fatigue, calming the nerves and promoting sleep.
Because last year's production was limited, it was about the same as old tea, only about 30 kilograms in total.
It is impossible to sell the really good stuff, so Lin Dong sent five kilograms of it to Mr. Zhou in China.
I just don’t know if Mr. Zhou can understand Lin Dong’s intentions and share some with the elders he respects.
Although the disease cannot be cured, being able to eat well and sleep well can help the elderly live a few more years.
As for why Lin Dong didn't send it off himself, he could only say haha.
Lin Dong didn't even dare to think about asking where those old people lived.
I gave two kilograms of Ziyun Tea to my father-in-law and ten kilograms to my father to build relationships.
Scarcity makes things valuable. This one-of-a-kind good thing became all the rage among Hong Kong's wealthy circles in just a few days.
However, the Lin family doesn’t sell it at all. Without a high enough status, one cannot buy Ziyun Tea, and even meet Lin Dong’s father.
Last year, there was a rumor that the Governor of Hong Kong drank the two taels of tea only once and gave the rest to the Eagle Queen.
The news from the Governor's Office was that the Governor had been smiling for several days in a row, presumably because he had received a reward.
Later, they made a special trip to the Lin family. A few days later, someone saw a transport ship from the Eagle Country going to the Lin family's private dock in Houhai Bay. It was easy to guess that some kind of deal had been reached.
A major general earl from the Eagle Country wanted to pay one hundred thousand U.S. dollars to buy one or two taels from the Li family.
As a result, the Li family naturally refused to sell it because they were not short of money.
The next day, the earl went to the Huo family again, with the same result.
On the third day, I went to the Lin family to find Lin Xiaohan. When I was leaving, there was joy on his face, but more of it was heartache. I guess he had paid a heavy price.
"Could it be that the third daughter of the Guo family doesn't know about this?" - Lin Dong couldn't help but wonder.
The fact is, Miss Guo San knew about these things, but because the story was spread so outrageously that even the living dead and their bones were exposed, not only Miss Guo didn't believe it, but many people didn't believe it either.
Now the wealthy circles in Hong Kong all know that Hejingsheng has two treasures, namely old tea and Ziyun tea.
There is news from Jingsheng that these two kinds of tea come from an uninhabited area.
In order to find this kind of tea, He Jingsheng sacrificed hundreds of lives, but produced less than ten kilograms of tea each year.
As if sensing Lin Dong's doubts, Guo Weifang leaned close to Lin Dong's ear and whispered, "I like the pink diamond rough stone that Brother Dong gave me, so I asked someone to swap the donated pink diamond and the purple rhyme tea."
Lin Dong was speechless. He just hoped that if the head of the Guo family knew about this, he would not punish his daughter.
Although this pink diamond rough stone is rare, you can still buy a lot of it. In this era, the maximum price is 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
If it were put in the 21st century, it would only be able to sell for 7 or 8 million Hong Kong dollars at most. Ziyun Tea is indeed good for the body and is an absolute treasure from heaven and earth. There is no comparison at all.
And the sudden words "Brother Dong" made Lin Dong feel uncomfortable. "Haha, as long as you are happy."
