My Waste Husband

Chapter 1654



Henry was alone at a buffet table in a banquet hall, eating a mouthful of food.

The people around him cast a strange look at Henry.

Henry completely ignored these gazes. He grabbed the food on the dining table while looking at the time on his mobile phone. There were 15 minutes left until the auction began.

Henry put his hand on the last piece of cake in front of him.

Just as Henry was about to grab the cake, the plate of the cake was overturned by someone.

Henry looked back and saw a young man standing on the side as he turned the plate. It was completely his unconscious action. The young man was holding the mobile phone, staring at the screen of the mobile phone and cursing something.

As if he noticed that someone was looking at him, the young man raised his head, glanced at Henry, and shouted, "What the hell are you looking at?" Henry lowered his head and did not pay much attention to him.

The young man's eyes continued to stare at the phone screen in front of him.

As time went by, it was getting closer and closer to the auction.

The guests spontaneously sat on the guest seats in front of the auction stage and waited for the start of the auction.

Under the host's speech, the auction began.

An item after an item was auctioned off at a high price. The people who come here didn't care about the real value of the items. All they wanted was to be known as helping a charity.

As time went by, the last item was presented on the stage by two beautiful ladies. This was a stone book. It was said that the most real decaying process of a dynasty in Van Xia was recorded here. However, the characters were particularly ancient and had not been translated yet. Due to the stone quality, it could be sealed up for a longer time than the paper-level book. This book had been classified as a national treasure long ago. Everyone was very clear that the person who bought this stone book would donate it to the museum in exchange for reputation. If other things were donated, they would not be this useful.

It could be said that the most important part of this auction was the last stone book to be auctioned.

"Everyone, the introduction of this history book is clearly written on the handbook in front of each table. The starting price is one yuan!"

After the host shouted out the price, the auction price of this stone book had already reached five million. In fact, this price was just an appetizer. Even the final buyer didn't want the price to be so low. When the price of this stone book was higher, the reputation they gained would be greater. When people reached a certain position, money no longer had much meaning to them. What they wanted more was something else.

"10 million!"

"20 million!"

"50 million!"

"100 million!"

After reaching this price, everyone knew that it was time that the real secret battle had begun.

"Gentlemen, it's reasonable for this book to be kept in our Van Xia. I offer a hundred and twenty million yuan to donate this book to the museum for free!" A middle-aged woman stood up and said.

"President Van, you're really generous. You would donate 120 million yuan. You're our business model!" Someone immediately flattered her.

"Haha, in fact, I also want to donate for free. I am afraid that the treasures of our countries could fall into the hands of outsiders. However, all the deposits of this auction will be donated to the mountains. For the mountains, 120 million is a little. I offer 150 million!" Someone stood up and competed for it with a very beautiful tone.

"Since we're working for our country, I'd like to take part in it. 180 million yuan." Someone else said.

"200 million, also a free donation to the museum, on-site payment!"

One and another person shouted. At this time, if anyone did not offer as a donation, they would be embarrassed to bid.

The bidding this time was particularly fierce, but the price had increased at a much slower rate.

Just as everyone stopped moving forward, a middle-aged man got up and said, "300 million! Don't fight with me anymore. Give me a chance to serve my country."

As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, those who bid in the field all stopped, because the identities of those who bid were not ordinary.

When the auctioneer saw that the

scene had quietened down, he nodded his head. Having been. working in this profession for so long, he also understood that the bidding had come to an end.

"300 million once!"

"300 million twice!"

"300 million..."

"One billion." A voice suddenly rang out.

The sound was enough to make everyone's heart skip a beat!

A billion! Buying a reputation with a billion? Who was going to do this?!

Everyone looked at the source of the sound. They didn't expect that the person who shouted out the billion was a weirdo with messy hair and a big bag on his back.

The man who had just called out 300 million frowned. He thought that someone might compete with him~~~ His limit price was 400 million yuan. But he didn't expect that the man who competed with him would call one billion! This price was totally unacceptable to him!

Even the host and the auctioneer were shocked by the price.

After Henry shouted out the price, he sat in the corner silently.

Under the host's gaze, a staff member of the auction ran to Henry and whispered something.

Everyone present knew that this was the result of the auction. Although the turnout price of this kind of charity auction was almost zero, this billion price was too shocking.

оде

The staff member exchanged a few words with Henry in a low voice and made a gesture.

The hostess on the stage nodded.

"One billion once!" The auctioneer shouted, which also told everyone that the bidder had the strength to pay one billion.

This news made many people want to befriend Henry. If he could buy a reputation with a billion yuan, it was hard for them to imagine how many financial resources he had.

Those who looked down on Henry before now regretted that they had such a good opportunity to get close to such a person. Why didn't they take advantage of the good opportunity?

The price of one billion was so high that no one present could surpass it.

"One billion twice!"

"One billion the third time!"

"Dong!" The sound of gongs could be heard.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang. At the price of one billion yuan, you bought this history book!"

The host spoke with high spirits, and then there was a round of applause in the auction.

"Next, please, Mr. Zhang!" The host made a gesture on the stage.

Eight girls with good figures in formal dresses came to Henry, stood in two rows respectively, and made a gesture of invitation.

Henry's expression was calm. He went to the stage and took over the stone book.

"Next, the donation ceremony!" The sponsor pulled out the long-prepared donation banner.

The people from the museum also came up to him with smiles on their faces. "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

"What? Who said I'm going to donate?" Henry had a strange look on his face.
