Chapter 344 Hong Kong Merchants
After everyone sat down, the door of the hall opened again, causing everyone to look back.
I saw two people striding in. To be precise, one should be accompanied by the other. Both of them were smiling, a middle-aged man and an old man. Both of them were well-dressed. The last two people who appeared on the stage were definitely not ordinary people, especially when everyone sat down, they didn't come, which showed that the status of these two people was extraordinary.
The middle-aged man supported the old man and strode towards the seats of the crowd.
"President Huangfu!"
"Well, the president!"
...
Everyone greeted the middle-aged man among the two of them.
The middle-aged man also slightly nodded to the crowd, smiled and said to the crowd: "Hi everyone!"
"Everyone is here!"
Bai Ning found that the middle-aged man had not let go of the hand that supported the old man. Although the old man looked energetic and healthy, and he was not old-fashioned, the man called President Huangfu was still supporting the old man. From this point, it can be seen that the status of the old man is higher than that of the middle-aged man.
The surname is Huangfu, and he is also called the president, so this person can only be a member of the same family.
That is the Huangfu family!
The Huangfu family has developed in the capital for decades. It can be traced back to before liberation. The Huangfu family is a business master, and it is also second to none in the family circle in Kyoto. It is not comparable to a second-rate family like the Ye family.
According to legend, the old man Huangfu also contributed money and efforts for liberation and national construction. Although the old man has passed away now, the Huangfu family is still protected and supported by high-level officials.
The country will not treat those who have contributed to the country badly.
As for the Ye family, these families only developed later.
Ye Chuxia asked Bai Ning: "This is Huangfuyun! The president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce!"
Bai Ning nodded and said in his heart, "It really is him!"
The Huangfu family can be said to be the boss of Kyoto in the commercial field, so it is beyond reproach to be the chairman of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, another question arose in Bai Ning's heart, who could be supported by the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce?
Officials?Probably not, the official people in Kyoto probably wouldn’t come on such an occasion, and at most a person from the Red Cross would come to help him receive it.
So who is the business figure who is more powerful than the mayor of Kyoto?
You must know that the status of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce in the national chamber of commerce is not low, and the identity of the chairman of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce is even more half-official and half-business.
Bai Ning looked at the old man and asked Ye Chuxia, "Who is that old man?"
"I don't know. I'll find out in a while. It shouldn't be from the capital. I know all the people from the capital, but I have never seen this old man before. He must be the head of some big family!"
The two walked to the front seats, which were the only two vacant seats, and sat down. The old man sat in the middle, and the middle-aged man sat next to the old man.
Suddenly, the lights in the venue dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light hit the center of the stage.
"The answer to the mystery will be revealed soon!" Ye Chuxia whispered.
Bai Ning nodded, and said to Ye Chuxia, "We'll wait and see!"
A young woman came out from the side of the stage, walked to the middle of the stage, and said to the audience, "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to today's charity auction."
"I'm tonight's host and auctioneer."
The host nodded slightly, and there was applause from the audience.
"First of all, I would like to introduce the guests who are here today. The first one is the organizer of today's charity auction, Mr. Huangfuyun, the chairman of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce!"
Huangfuyun stood up and waved to the people behind. Everyone applauded to express their support.
"The second is the president of the National Red Cross Society, President Zhao!"
President Zhao was also sitting in the front row, and he also got up slightly and waved his hands. Everyone applauded enthusiastically.
Next, the host introduced the woman, the owner of this club, named An Ran.
"Finally! I would like to solemnly introduce Mr. Zhou Ruhai to everyone. Zhou Ruhai is the current president of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and a patriotic entrepreneur! This time, Mr. Zhou Ruhai can be invited to participate in this auction, even It is an honor, let us welcome Mr. Zhou Ruhai with warm applause!"
When everyone heard that the chairman of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce came to the capital, they immediately became excited. Some people even keenly sensed some business opportunities. The chairman of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce came to Kyoto. Could it be that simple?
Just for a charity auction?
Not to mention these experienced and cunning businessmen, even the fledgling Bai Ning felt that it was not that simple, but the things behind it were worth thinking about slowly.
Let's think about these after the auction is over, Bai Ning regained his thoughts and looked at the person in front of him.
"Hi everyone!" Zhou Ruhai stood up and greeted everyone.
Everyone's applause became more enthusiastic, and there were some whispers in the middle.
Zhou Ruhai greeted everyone with a smile and then sat back.
The host continued in a cadenced tone: "Everyone must know that the theme of tonight's auction is charity, donating to poor areas."
"All the proceeds from the auction tonight will be used for charity and donated to impoverished areas free of charge. We will auction a total of ten items tonight, all of which are provided by the bosses and the Red Cross. I hope you can find Their destined host."
"Let me announce that today's charity auction has officially started!"
The moderator's words were relatively concise and went straight to the point.
"The first item to be auctioned today is a blue and white porcelain bowl from the Song Dynasty. Miss Manners please!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, a lady of etiquette stepped onto the stage gracefully, holding a delicate tray in both hands, and placed the tray on the booth that had already been placed on the stage. The red cloth on the tray was uncovered, and a blue and white porcelain bowl was placed on it.
"Blue and white porcelain has been around since the Tang Dynasty, developed in the Song Dynasty, made some achievements in the Yuan Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. This blue and white porcelain bowl in the Song Dynasty was produced in the era of the development of blue and white porcelain. It is a milestone and is very worthy of everyone. Start."
"Today's blue and white porcelain bowl is provided by President Huang of Runfa Supermarket!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, Huang Runfa, who was sitting in the second row, stood up and greeted everyone.
