But Jiang Xiao did not sit in the first row.

First of all, the first row is too high-profile. Jiang Xiao looked around, and almost all of them were old and middle-aged people who looked respectable.

If he sits on it, maybe others will guess his identity behind his back, Jiang Xiao doesn't want to be too conspicuous.

The second is that he brought so many friends and there are not so many positions in the first row, which is not convenient.

After the old man Wanying sat down, the host came after him.

It was time to show the high quality of everyone present. Everyone instantly became quiet, waiting for the host's opening remarks.

This kind of opening remarks are similar, even if Jiang Xiao has not participated in a charity auction, he has heard similar speeches from the principal at the general meeting at the end of each semester when he was in school.

In normal times like this, Jiang Xiao would find a way to secretly squint for a while, but this time it was an event organized by Wan Lao, and he was very defensive. He bit the bullet and listened to this lengthy opening.

The specific meaning is summarized in one sentence:

"Thank you all the guests present for your contribution to charity!"

Then everyone in the audience began to applaud vigorously.

Especially those middle-aged people sitting in the first row next to Mr. Wanying clapped the hardest, and from time to time they turned their heads to exchange eyes with Wanying, smiled and nodded or something.

It can be seen that the "popularity" of Mr. Wanying is indeed very high.

Everyone also cares very much about what Elder Wanying thinks of him.

Then the host finally officially started this auction, and one after another, the righteous items were taken out one by one.

The host sets a starting price and a minimum price increase each time. Everyone can conduct an outcry auction.

These are no different from ordinary auctions. They are all basic rules.

The staff handed out digital cards to everyone present, and when they were interested in something, they could raise the digital cards in their hands.

Some of the charity products that have just come out are not particularly valuable, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Most of them are red wines that have been collected for many years, or paintings by a certain domestic painter.

Jiang Xiao is not interested in these.

Now that you have decided to take a piece of charity, you have to stay calm and wait until the valuable charity appears later before you start to try.

The first half of the auction made everyone in the "Benson Supercar Club" seem a little bit idle and uninterested like Jiang Xiao.

In particular, Cai Haoxuan was beginning to look a little drowsy.

However, Guan Yunxi fell in love with a Chanel collector's edition bracelet and took a photo of it at a price that was not high or low. He seemed very happy.

After seeing this scene, Jiang Xiao thought that a woman is really a creature that loves consumption.

I always feel that even if I came to participate in a charity auction, I felt like I was shopping, and I took a luxury bracelet and went back.

I have to say that the charity auction this time is quite a big battle. Those in front are obviously used as paving charity items. After an hour, Jiang Xiao has not seen anything more expensive.

As the host of the auction suddenly stopped the rhythm, he held the microphone and solemnly said:

"Guests present, the first half of this auction is officially over. You can take a break and wait for the second half. During the break, you can communicate freely. I hope you will at least gain something from coming here today."

As the host left, all the guests in the venue began to move around, and from time to time you could see the scene of changing business cards in the crowd.

Jiang Xiao wasn't idle either, and walked to Xie Pengfei and asked him if he had prepared any charity items this time.

Xie Pengfei made a haha ​​and said:

"I came this time to see if I could meet some people, so I didn't prepare anything valuable. I told you to make a joke. My thing was arranged in the first half."

Jiang Xiao nodded without asking more.

Xie Pengfei became interested again and said:

"It's you...what is the origin of the pair of leggings? I heard that your charity product was the finale this time?"

Xie Pengfei is not stupid. It can be the finale of a charity auction of this scale, even if it is a rag that is about to break, it must have a background. Wan Ying understands that this kind of person will never come from nowhere.

Jiang Xiao didn't conceal it either. The host would definitely introduce it anyway, so he bluntly said:

"My pair of leggings belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and it came from the nobles of the imperial palace. This is the conclusion of Wan Lao after appraisal."

Xie Pengfei suddenly became in awe, oh yo said:

"Then the origin of this thing is indeed not small, you are young, why do you have such an old object in your hand?"

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and made up and said:

"It was also accidental at home. I don't know exactly where it came from, but it is said that the thing seems to have been used by Princess Taiping."

Jiang Xiao was chatting with Xie Pengfei. An old man who seemed to be well-groomed approached them, so Jiang Xiao didn't say "foot-wrap cloth", but replaced it with "that thing".

Xie Pengfei didn't notice the old man and continued:

"If the pair of things are really from the Tang Dynasty, it is really not easy, you think, it is very difficult for the fabric to be preserved for thousands of years, unless it is protected very early."

Unexpectedly, the old man heard this and suddenly jumped up and said:

"What? There are still things from the Tang Dynasty today, why didn't I hear the news beforehand?"

When the old man spoke, Jiang Xiao shifted his gaze to him and observed it carefully.

This person has bright white hair and wears glasses with only one lens.

He was standing there stiffly in a gray suit, with a handkerchief in his breast pocket.

The first feeling this person gave Jiang Xiao was: Compared with the average old man, the temperament of this old man is so much better!
