Chapter 987 The Confidence to Incur Public Wrath!
"Mr. Luo, you will anger the public if you do this." Luo Lao glanced at the rumors and reminded them in a low voice.
Luo Feng shrugged and retorted: "Isn't the auction all about who has more money? Do I have to let them go?"
"That being said, you raised the price too much at one time, leaving them with no chance to participate."
Luo Lao still lowered his voice and spoke very obscurely.
What he meant was that Luo Feng should not raise the price too much at one time.
Instead, it should be increased little by little, so that other participants can participate.
Even if you succeed in bidding at a price that no one can afford, others will not complain.
It's like participation is important, the same reason.
Besides, those who can enter the charity auction are more or less millionaires.
Everyone is not a person without capital, and angering these people will not end well.
After this, Luo Feng nodded slightly.
"I understand what you mean. Thank you for your advice, Mr. Luo."
Then he stood up, looked at the crowd, and said calmly.
"I know many people are dissatisfied with my bid of 20 million, but I'm sorry, I just like to be straightforward."
"You have the money and the courage to continue to follow the filming, you can also come, I have no complaints."
Mr. Luo originally thought that after what he said just now, Luo Feng would be enlightened.
Unexpectedly, Luo Feng actually directly challenged him!
As soon as he said this, many people couldn't sit still.
Many VIPs became sarcastic.
"What a stupid and rich guy!"
"Many of us know the value of this cultural relic, and he spent so much money on it, but he doesn't know it!"
"Too arrogant! Sooner or later, he will be sanctioned!"
"..."
This time, even Mr. Luo didn't know how to help Luo Feng.
He sighed secretly.
Although this young man is good, his personality is still a little too arrogant.
"It seems that we should be cautious about arranging him to the management of the charity foundation."
Originally, Mr. Luo wanted to train Luo Feng.
After all, no matter what, Luo Feng was the one who spent the most money among the foreigners he had seen coming to the Irish Charity Foundation.
He could also see that Luo Feng really wanted charity assistance.
In addition, his first impression of Luo Feng was very good.
The management was gone, but he would still arrange Luo Feng to join the charity foundation.
Li Weining would naturally not miss this opportunity, and of course he had to praise Luo Feng.
He immediately sent a message to Daniel, with a strong sense of complacency in his tone.
As if the person who said it was not Luo Feng, but himself.
"Mr. Daniel, did you see that? Mr. Luo is a super rich uncle, and his net worth is a mystery! But some people say he is a billionaire, and not everyone can touch him."
"So, I think you should not go against him, it is better to give in, maybe you two can become friends in the future."
"As for... the title of charity collector this session, it should be his."
This sentence is hinting that he should not touch Luo Feng.
There is also a hint of wanting to elevate Luo Feng and step down Daniel.
"Then you really think too much, this kind of person is not worth my attention at all."
After Daniel said this, he said something to Emily next to him.
Luo Feng looked around the group. Although many people were dissatisfied with him, no one took action.
Seeing this, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Seeing that everyone is meaningless, I will speak openly. I am different from some of the auction participants."
"As long as I think that although I am auctioning, I am also doing charity, I will bid directly. Whatever price is what price. I will not play tricks."
"Whether you like it or not, whether you are comfortable or not, that is not my concern. If you have the ability and bid higher than me, so high that I can't afford it, then I will also admire you very much."
Then, he sat down.
The scene of the charity auction has never been so lively, and it has never been so quiet as it is now.
Luo Feng's words sounded reasonable.
"Mr. Luo, what you said is very good."
Mr. Luo couldn't help but stand up and applaud.
"I hope we are doing charity purely, hoping to use our own strength to help others. Those conspiracies and calculations are all tarnishing this auction for the purpose of charity!"
"Many people also said that the prices of cultural relics in our charity auction were too high. If they were placed in ordinary auctions, the prices could be lower."
"What I want to say is, are you buying cultural relics? Do you value minimizing your losses after buying them?"
"You want the reputation of charity, and you also want profits. You are taking advantage of everything. How can it be so good!"
Many people blushed when Mr. Luo said this.
In fact, it was hinting at some people in the dark.
However, these guys are already old hands in the business world, and they will not have any obvious reactions at all.
Each of them has long been thick-skinned.
But there are also a small number of people who dare not to applaud openly, but secretly applaud secretly in their hearts.
Luo Feng gave Mr. Luo a thumbs up.
"Mr. Luo, what you said is so good! You expressed what you wanted to say in your heart. That's what I meant."
"Taking this opportunity, I also want to announce something. From now on, Mr. Luo will join the management of our charitable foundation as an inviter."
Li Weining couldn't sit still anymore, stood up suddenly, and couldn't help but say.
"Mr. Luo, please be careful. This management team represents every decision of our charity foundation in the future. Not just anyone can join!"
Of course he was dissatisfied with Mr. Luo's desire to bring Luo Feng into the management of the charity foundation.
You must know that although he is the president of the charity foundation, he is actually subject to quality control by the management.
Otherwise, why does he respect Mr. Luo so much? Not only because Mr. Luo was once his master, but more importantly, Mrs. Luo is the largest shareholder in the shareholders' meeting!
If he offended Mr. Luo, given Mr. Luo's lofty and respected status, it would be tantamount to offending all the members of the shareholders' meeting.
Also with Mr. Luo's status, if he wanted to remove someone from the charity foundation, it would be easy.
Others won't have any complaints, but will stand on Mr. Luo's side.
This is Mr. Luo whom everyone respects.
Thor saw this long-lost opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it, so he took advantage of the situation and stood up.
"President Li, I think it's not a bad thing that Mr. Luo wants to bring Mr. Luo into the management of the charity foundation."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Feng looked a little surprised when he saw the speaker.
According to some information provided by Lin Naizi, Li Weining and Saul work together to eat into the interests of the charity foundation account.
Unexpectedly, on this matter, the two people's concepts actually fell apart.
He even didn't expect that the other party would support him in joining the management of the charity foundation.
"First of all, the other party has made enough contributions to the charity foundation. I would like to say that his contribution today has probably surpassed many people who have come to the charity gala for several consecutive years, right?!"
At this point, he paused, thought of something here, and said with great respect.
"Besides, since Mr. Luo said this in public, I think it must be something that has been carefully considered and cannot be decided overnight."
"So I trust Mr. Luo's judgment and I agree to let Mr. Luo join the management of the charity foundation."
After these words came out, Li Weining was surprised and speechless.
He didn't expect that Sol would not stand on his side, but on Luo Lao's side. This was equivalent to standing on Luo Feng's side.
Good on you Sol! He actually betrayed me, I remember it!
Li Weining silently recorded this sentence in his heart, and then mobilized his brain to refute.
"Even if what you said is right, I think it's too hasty for him to join the foundation's management."
"Mr. Luo, I think it's better to take it slow and wait until we have a better time to understand the follow-up before deciding whether to place him in the management."
Li Weining said this, already intending to give in now.
In fact, he was worried that Luo Feng would run away, and he also wanted Mr. Lu to know more about this young man to see if he was qualified to join the management of the charity foundation.
Daniel, who was rare in this session, didn't say a word or join in the fun.
He is not stupid. Although he is also a member of the Qidian Foundation, he is only a member after all. Like most members, he has no rights.
However, Li Weining is different. As the president of the charity foundation, if Luo Feng joins the management, he will have to obey Luo Feng's orders in a timely manner.
This was something he absolutely couldn't tolerate and didn't dare to imagine.
"I have made up my mind and there will be no change!" Mr. Luo simply left these words and sat back on the chair again.
That kind of spirit is simply unrivaled.
Suddenly everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Feng.
Luo Feng was a little confused. He had no idea that he was going to join the management of the charity foundation.
Seeing that the situation was getting a little awkward, he winked at Su Qing on the stage.
Su Qing quickly understood what Luo Feng meant, and he continued to let the auctioneer make the announcement.
"Mr. Luo's auction price is 20 million. Is there anyone else who wants to follow the auction? If no one follows the auction, then this cultural relic will naturally belong to Mr. Luo."
It was so quiet in the venue that you could hear a pin drop.
The impact of what happened one after another just now is too great, and now many people need to take a breather.
But what is clear and certain is that Luo Lao, a dignified Taishan Beidou-level figure, is already standing behind Luo Feng.
Anyone who dares to touch Luo Feng is equivalent to slapping Mr. Luo in the face.
During the next auction session, Luo Feng remained calm.
On the one hand, he took action at the right time based on the market information and on-site bidding provided by Bai Ningbing, and was only interested in Chinese antiques.
It not only avoids waste caused by blindly raising prices, but also ensures that every Chinese cultural relic that is auctioned can match its due value at several times the price.
As a result, in Luo Lao's eyes, every bid he made was just right, which not only showed his respect for cultural relics, but also reflected his sincerity for charity.
After all, the more money Luo Feng spent on antiques, the more the charity foundation could gain.
During this period, although Daniel tried to provoke a bidding war again, Luo Feng responded cleverly and never let him succeed.
This also made Daniel more and more feel that Luo Feng, could it be that he knew the content of his plan?
The so-called Irish account they investigated was actually not the place where Luo Feng sold cultural relics.
But these were just his guesses, and he could not be sure for the time being.
After seeing Luo Feng's financial resources and Luo Lao's help, the other bidders on the scene gradually became cautious about him.
No one dared to auction cultural relics in Luo Feng anymore, because they were dissatisfied with the price reduction.
The bidding process became more orderly, and Luo Feng successfully won several precious cultural relics.
When Luo Feng successfully bid for an antique for his sixteenth niece, there were a total of sixteen cultural relics, each of which was donated to the charity foundation in the name of his niece.
"Mr. Luo, everyone, today I said that I would show my heart for the Irish Charity Foundation and bid for sixteen cultural relics. Now, I have done it and lived up to what I said at the beginning!"
Wow!
Mr. Luo stood up very moved and led the applause.
He really admired Luo Feng today. No matter what happened, he did not break his promise.
The whole audience burst into warm applause, and everyone stood up to pay tribute to him.
Luo Feng, holding the last item in his hand, faced the crowd and said in a deep voice.
"In addition, I want to tell you that the reason I do this is because I believe that every piece of cultural heritage is the carrier of our spirit, and they belong to every descendant of the Chinese nation."
"I hope my nieces can feel the charm of history and culture through these cultural relics."
"At the same time, I also hope that through this charity auction, more people will pay attention to and support the protection of cultural relics, so that cultural heritage can be passed on forever."
Luo Feng's words, neither humble nor arrogant, deeply moved everyone present, and even more enthusiastic applause rang out.
Many people were moved, and some even shed tears of emotion.
Daniel sat on the chair with a dark face, and could only endure it for the time being.
Emily, who was sitting next to him, could only smile bitterly and applaud, so as not to appear too unsociable and let others talk about it.
I'm afraid that no matter what, the two of them would never have thought that they thought they had won, but they lost to Luo Feng. (End of this chapter)
