Chapter 330 329. Unqualified Gift (2)
The appearance of the jadeite jewelry box set off a climax in the auction, and the transaction price of 20,000 yuan made the believers exclaim again and again.
Twenty thousand yuan is the half-year salary of many people, and it is also the living expenses of many people's families for a year.
Most of the believers are ordinary people and have no experience of participating in large auctions such as Christie's and Sotheby's, so the appearance of this 20,000 yuan artwork is an eye-opener for them!
It stands to reason that the last few lots are the grand finale, with the highest value, the highest price, and the most attractive to everyone.
Nai He smashed out an emerald box halfway, and the highest value of the future auctions will be three or four thousand yuan. How can it be compared with twenty thousand yuan?
The auction ended, and the ending was not very satisfactory. Everyone's enthusiasm was attracted by the emerald box. The last set of tableware for the Swedish royal family was considered a good thing, but it was far less shocking to everyone than the emerald box.
However, with the surprise given by Li Du, the auction was absolutely successful enough.
At the end of the auction, the auctioneer had to pay the money to deliver the auction items, while others went to the square of the church.
When the auction was held in the church, the square had already pulled up the shade net, and volunteers deployed tables and chairs, and placed delicious dishes on them, as well as beverages such as juice, milk and water.
Because Christianity does not advocate drinking alcohol, there are no alcoholic beverages on site, and the atmosphere is simple and relaxed.
Li Du's performance and the emerald box donated by Sophie became the core topics of everyone's chat. Everyone discussed while walking, and the chat was very hot.
Martin and his wife were satisfied with Li Du's performance to the bottom of their hearts. The little old man's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he praised Li Du repeatedly along the way.
Their husband and wife are teachers, and they like cultured and educated people the most.
Li Du's performance on stage was confident and free and easy, combining Chinese poetry culture with modern jewelry culture, which made them very satisfied.
While walking, Martin said, "We guessed right before. You have a unique understanding of the auction industry. Following you really made us see something different."
"I am amazed by Li's vision, but his performance on stage is better. Have you seen his confidence and control? If he becomes a teacher, he will be a successful teacher."
Mrs. Martin was also full of praise for him.
What Li Du has to do now is to keep a low profile as much as possible. He doesn't need to deny his excellence, but he doesn't need to keep showing off.
They walked into the awning in the square, and the believers around gave Li Du a thumbs up: "Young man, you did a good job just now."
"Today, Li has provided a lot of help to the church. The donation of 20,000 yuan is a huge sum of money!"
"Li is a kind child. I remember a news report that Li organized a charity storage auction and donated to the orphanage. The donation amount was even higher!"
There was an endless stream of praise from around. Li Du was not pretending to be low-key, but really wanted to be low-key. Emma, I just did some trivial things, how did I become the protagonist?
A middle-aged man came over and put his arms around his shoulders, and said, "This guy has done many good things. There was another road accident where traffic was blocked and the ambulance was also blocked. He took the lead to move the accident car and let go of the ambulance. "
Sophie said as excitedly as the little girl: "Not only did he move the car, but he also participated in the first aid to the patient. He saved the patient with a gunshot wound."
People around applauded one after another, and many people stretched out their fists to Li Du and patted him lightly, saying, "Well done, good boy!"
After paying the money to get the auction item, Maratha came out, and this was what he saw.
Seeing the acquaintances he knew surrounded Li Du like a savior, his jealousy exploded.
I have to admit that Li Du performed very well this time, and his performance was underestimated, but it didn't matter, Marathai still had other tricks to use.
He put away the jewelry box containing the gold bracelet, and when the crowd was about to disperse, he walked up to Sophie and smiled softly: "Hi, Sophie, I want to give you a present."
The female doctor looked at him in surprise and said, "Give me a gift? Now?"
Marate looked around, held up the jewelry box and said, "Just now I took a picture of a bracelet made by a master. They are very beautiful and noble. I want to give them to you. Only you are worthy of them."
Hearing this, Martin, who was eating ice cream behind him, almost laughed out loud. He whispered, "God, this kid really can't talk."
When he said this, many people around were unhappy.
What does 'only you deserve them' mean? We didn't get the bracelet, but that doesn't mean we didn't deserve it.
Besides, it's just a bracelet and not a crown, how can it be worthy or not?
Many people were thinking this in their hearts, and some of them expressed their thoughts on their faces with displeased expressions.
Sophie waved her hands vigorously and said, "I'm very glad to get your praise, but I can't accept this bracelet. Please take it back and give it to someone more suitable."
Marathai emphasized: "You are the most suitable person, Sophie, and I took this bracelet just for you."
He glanced around from the corner of his eye, shouldn't there be applause of blessing at this time? Where is the applause? Where is the sound of blessing?
Sophie said awkwardly: "Malathai, I'm not suitable to get this bracelet, really, but thank you for thinking so."
Seeing the embarrassing situation of the female doctor, Li Du, who didn't want to show off, had to stand up and said, "Man, the style of this bracelet is not suitable for a girl."
Malathai was annoyed when he saw him, so he said impatiently: "You know everything? Why isn't it suitable? You just wanted to take a picture of it, but didn't you want to give it to Sophie?"
Li Du was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Actually, I just wanted to take a picture of it for my mother."
There was laughter from the side, and someone joked: "You say that, Sophie is going to be sad."
Li Du was depressed like a dead dog, he shouldn't have interfered in this matter, he should have watched Ma Latai lose face, indeed, he said that, a bit disrespectful to the female doctor.
Sophie could take it easy, and said with a smile, "No, no, why would I be sad? The style of this bracelet is originally suitable for middle-aged and elderly people."
At the scene of Maratha's petrification, he asked blankly: "Cartier's jewelry is not only for middle-aged and elderly people, but also for young people."
Someone nearby knew him, so he pulled him away, and said in a low voice, "Don't make everyone laugh here, this bracelet is of course suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, why would a girl wear such an old-fashioned chain?"
Marate struggled: "No, I don't think so..."
"Stop being stubborn, do you want to continue to lose face here?"
The crowd kept laughing, and Malathai's face was hot. He saw someone pointing at him, and he felt aggrieved and resentful.
He gave Li Du a resentful look, took out his mobile phone and made a call, saying, "Bring the guys over here!"
