Xiao Yao felt the eyes of the audience and knew that Xiao Wei''s words were meant to urge him to continue to increase the price. So he shrugged to Xiao Wei on the stage, then spread his hands with a smile and pointed to Shi Lingqiang''s direction with two palms. The meaning was very obvious: "I won''t fight with him!"
As soon as Xiao Yao''s action came out, not only Xiao Wei understood it, but also all the guests at the scene understood it. Originally thought there was a tit for tat play to watch, did not expect Xiao Yao so soon played the retreat drum. But think about it. In terms of popularity, Xiao Yao in the entertainment industry is indeed better. In terms of financial resources, it seems that Shi Lingqiang, the richest man in Yanjing, is better.
"Two and a half million for the second time!" Understand the meaning of Xiao Yao, Xiao Wei also began the second offer. Although Xiao Yao did not fight, the price was the highest so far tonight, and it was the first price to reach seven figures. Xiao Wei was also very happy.
But Shi Lingqiang is not very happy at this time. Although it is to achieve their original purpose, forcing Xiao Yao out of the auction. But Xiao Yao''s expression is not as unwilling or angry as he expected. On the contrary, he has a smile on his face. It seems that he doesn''t care about the competition with him at all. He doesn''t feel the pleasure of victory and revenge. At this time, hearing Xiao Wei offer his price for the second time, Shi Lingqiang felt a bit depressed.
When he was bidding with Xiao Yao, Shi Lingqiang didn''t pay much attention to the significance of price figures. He originally increased the price by 50000.2 million yuan on the basis of Xiao Yao''s price, but Xiao Yao''s offer was a direct integer of 500000.1 million yuan. He didn''t want to be stingy, so he added a half hundred yuan of 500000 yuan on the basis of Xiao Yao''s 2 million yuan, but now Xiao Yao stopped, Xiao Wei quoted his price twice in a row, and Shi Lingqiang suddenly realized that the numerical meaning of his quotation didn''t seem very good.
"Two and a half million. Isn''t that two and a half million?" Thinking of this, Shi Lingqiang doubts whether Xiao Yao deliberately lures him to report this number, in order to laugh at his "250". However, the current situation is that unless there are other people on the scene to quote again, he can''t increase his own quotation. It''s not fair to say that it''s against the rules. Doing so will only remind some people who didn''t pay attention to the special meaning of this number. Moreover, they have to pay 100000 yuan more for something they already have. This kind of behavior itself is very "250".
However, the bidding between Xiao Yao and him just now was too fierce. The rest of the people on the scene basically entered the mode of watching the play, and no one was interested in the piece that far exceeded its own value. If Xiao Yao''s face is not angry or his heart is not willing, maybe someone will come out to help him fight, but Xiao Yao''s smile to Shi Lingqiang''s direction to make "please" action, is that everyone knows that Xiao Yao is very willing to let Shi Lingqiang shoot the piece, at this time, no one will come out to bid.
"Two and a half million for the third time!" Xiao Wei picked up the wooden hammer, knocked on the base of the table, and said, "congratulations to Mr. Shi Lingqiang on the 38th who bought the Swan diamond necklace donated by Miss Yin Xi for 2.5 million."
"Pa Pa Pa!" Xiao Yao took the lead to stand up, with a smile on his face.
"This is the first auction with a transaction price of more than one million today, and it has reached a high price of 2.5 million all of a sudden. It is very likely to become our champion tonight. Let''s give some thanks to Mr. Shi Lingqiang for his generosity to the people in the disaster area." Seeing Xiao Yao standing up and clapping, Xiao Wei raised the microphone and said, and clapped along.
Yin Xi also stood up and clapped with Xiao Yao. Then, many people around stood up and applauded for Shi Lingqiang''s generosity.
Shi Lingqiang felt that Xiao Yao''s applause seemed to be deliberately beating his face, but he could not be indifferent to the applause of all the guests on the scene. He could only stand up and waved to the guests on the scene.
"Next, I''d like to invite Miss Yin Xi and Mr. Shi Lingqiang to come up and complete the handover ceremony of this work." When the applause fell, the guests all returned to their seats, and Xiao Wei invited the new and old owners of the piece on stage.
After completing the handover ceremony, Yin Xi and Shi Lingqiang walked off the stage and returned to their seats. A model took the next piece of work from the back and stepped onto the stage. Lu Ke also took over Xiao Wei''s class and went to the middle of the stage to introduce: "the next piece of work is a wooden guitar donated by Xiao Yao! What I need to explain to you is that this guitar is not made by any musical instrument brand, but by Xiao Yao himself. "
"Wow ~" there was an exclamation under the stage. So far this evening, all the auction items are valuable luxuries purchased by donors, and they will be auctioned off. Xiao Yao is the first one.
"But Lu Ke''s words changed. She put her hand on the guitar string held by the model and plucked it a few times. She deliberately put her head close to the speaker of the guitar and listened to the sound of the guitar. Then she frowned and continued, "except for Xiao Yao, we don''t seem to have any special professional musicians. It seems that we can''t judge the sound quality of the guitar."
"Well?" The guests at the scene showed a trace of doubt, "doubt the quality of the things that people take out, isn''t that a public demolition?""So, I have a proposal, that is to ask Xiao Yao to come on stage and play a song for us with this guitar, so that we can feel the timbre of this guitar on the spot." At this point, Lu Ke looked at Xiao Yao and said to the guests, "I believe that the better Xiao Yao performs on the scene, the higher the transaction price of this guitar will be, right?"
"Yes The guests at the scene understood and cried with a smile while clapping.
Since Xiao Yao was invited, the organizer didn''t want to let it go so easily. Xiao Yao refused to organize the opening performance because of his poor voice. But the bad voice only affects his singing, not his performance. If Xiao Yao is allowed to play guitar at the beginning of the performance? On the one hand, it''s a bit dry in form; on the other hand, the organizer probably guessed that Xiao Yao didn''t want to be a performance guest at the party, so he might still refuse.
But it''s not the same at this time. Now let Xiao Yao play on stage, is to let him show his donated products, is to let him donate this guitar can make a higher price, to make more contributions to the disaster area. Moreover, compared with the opening performance, the performance in the middle of the auction is more casual and relaxed in form. Coupled with the noise of the guests, Xiao Yao would not refuse.
Indeed, in this situation, Xiao Yao is not very nice, and he doesn''t intend to refuse. So with a smile and a nod, he got up from his seat and went to the stage.
Seeing that Xiao Yao took the guitar from the model, Xiao Wei, who was standing beside the stage for the time being, moved an idle chair from under the stage and put it in the middle of the stage.
Xiao Yao thanks Xiao Wei, sits down on the chair, puts the guitar on his leg, reaches out his hand, dials the string and adjusts the knob, and begins to tune the guitar.
After a while, Xiao Yao tuned his guitar. He reached over the six strings of the guitar, nodded, coughed and adjusted his sitting posture.
"Are you going to play and sing for yourself?" Lu Ke hears Xiao Yao''s cough and sends the microphone to Xiao Yao.
"No," Xiao Yao shook his head. "I was in the disaster area some time ago, and I didn''t have a good rest, so I didn''t have a good voice. I''m not suitable for singing in recent days. I came on stage to show you the timbre of this guitar. Singing will also bring some interference, so I''ll play a song for you. "
"What song are you going to play for us?" Lu Ke said, "I know you have a guitar album. Although I like the song" beautiful day "in it, it doesn''t seem to be suitable for today''s theme."
"What do you want to hear? You can have some. " Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"That''s the song of" city of the sky ". I remember that you played that song to the injured with harmonica in the medical tent in the disaster area in that video. Let''s listen to the guitar version today." Lu Kedao.
"Take the city of the sky," said Shaw. "If there was a city in the sky, it would not have happened."
"Wait a minute!" Sitting under the stage, Shi Lingqiang suddenly said, "I heard that Xiao Yao is a creative genius, and he always sings original new songs when he performs in public. Although you don''t sing today, it''s a public occasion. Since you have been in the disaster area for so long, you must have deep feelings. How about creating a guitar tune for the people in the disaster area now? It also shows your heart to the people in the disaster area. "
"Live creation? Isn''t that too hard? " There were some comments below, and Lin Xiaoyi stood up directly.
"Of course, he can also play the music he wrote before. As long as it has not been released, we have never heard of it. He said it was created on the spot, and no one can refute it." Shi Lingqiang turns around and shows his hand to Lin Xiaoyi.
"How long has Bayi just released his guitar album? He''s not a composer. Where can he have the stock? What''s more, the guitar music just related to today''s theme? " Lin Xiao''s spirited way.
"Can''t you?" Shi Lingqiang turned to look at Xiao Yao on the stage and said, "great genius!"
"Sit down!" Sitting Lin Shaohua pulls up Lin Xiaoyi.
"Dad, that man is obviously trying to embarrass brother Bayi." Lin Xiaoyi reluctantly sat down and pursed his lips.
"I know," Lin Shaohua said with a smile, pointing to Xiao Yao on the stage, "but when does your brother Bayi need you to help him out? Look at his face for yourself. "
"Of course." Xiao Yao nodded with a smile and said, "then I''ll play a guitar song I wrote for the people in the disaster area."
Shi Lingqiang is also a layman in music. If he now asks Xiao Yao to write a song for the people in the disaster area, Xiao Yao may be a little bit embarrassed, mainly in terms of lyrics, Xiao Yao may not think of a suitable song for a while. But if it''s pure music, it''s much wider. As long as it''s not the kind of music that is particularly cheerful and intense, a little bit sad or that sounds warm, it can be said that it''s created for the people in the disaster area.
When Xiao Yao released those three music albums before, he didn''t empty his mind of the classic pure music of previous life. Xiao Yao still has a lot of sad or warm songs in his mind, including a lot of special guitar songs. Now let alone play one, it''s no wonder that he plays three or five songs that are not available in the world and suitable for tonight''s disaster relief theme."Now I''d like to give you a guitar song called cherry blossom of desire." Xiao Yao said to the microphone that Lu Ke held in front of him.
What Xiao Yao decided to play is a song "wish" by gin, a former guitarist. When he introduced it, Xiao Yao changed a more Chinese cultural name directly.
"Really, that''s it?" Shi Lingqiang was a little surprised, and then began to prick, "cherry blossom? Why do we use Japanese flowers as names for the songs given to our Chinese people? "
"Japanese flowers?" Xiao Yao stopped the action of preparing to play, looked at Shi Lingqiang and said, "who said cherry blossom is a Japanese flower? Because it''s the national flower of Japan? "
"Isn''t it?" Shi Lingqiang said.
"Of course not." Xiao Yao said with a smile and shaking his head, "cherry blossoms are native to the Himalayas. After being artificially cultivated, they gradually spread to the Yangtze River Valley, Southwest China and Baodao in China. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty in ancient China, when all countries came to Korea, Japan admired Chinese culture and sent a large number of envoys to China to study. Cherry blossom was also brought back by Japanese pilgrims at that time. Although cherry blossom is the national flower of Japan, it is also the most famous cherry blossom in Japan, but it does not mean that cherry blossom is exclusive to Japan. In terms of history, the history of Cherry Blossom cultivation in China is much longer than that in Japan. The National University in Jiangcheng, Hubei Province has a Cherry Blossom Festival at the end of March and the beginning of April every year. We don''t have to go to Japan to see cherry blossom. "
"Really?" Shi Lingqiang''s suspicious way.
"Of course, brother Bayi has won the championship in both the ancient poetry conference and one stop to the end, which is called" walking encyclopedia. " Lin Xiaoyi did not stand up this time, but sat in his seat to cheer for Xiao Yao. He said crisply, "the books he has read and the things he knows are certainly more than you!"
"Cherry blossom is a symbol of love and hope. We won''t talk about love, but I think it fits our theme tonight." Xiao Yao then said, "we are holding this auction party tonight to bring hope to the people in the disaster area."
"I know that when it comes to cherry blossoms, they are more famous in Japan. To some extent, they represent Japan. But then what? " Xiao Yao continued, "I haven''t forgotten history, and I don''t intend to wash the white for that nation. I was at the scene of the Wuyou earthquake. I know that the first foreign rescue team to arrive at the disaster area is the Japanese rescue team. They did a lot of work and saved a lot of people. At least these Japanese who came to the rescue are very worthy of our respect and thanks. Since there are such a group of people in Japan who have actually helped us in the disaster area, I don''t think it''s wrong for me to write a song in the name of Japan''s national flower. "
