Chapter 379 Charity Gala
Although he said it was great and upright, after Luo Quan got the ring, he really didn't dare to show it off online immediately.
Compared with luxury houses and cars, diamond rings are luxury goods in the true sense and have no value except for ornamental value.
Earlier it was considered a necessity for couples to propose marriage, but as the biggest lie of the century was exposed, diamonds have also become a kind of IQ tax.
Nowadays, man-made diamonds are far more sparkling, bigger and better than natural diamonds, and the price is extremely low. Therefore, diamonds have long been worthless. What is valuable is actually the certificate proving that they are natural diamonds.
Although the bright flower in Luo Quan's hand is a rare treasure, it has no added value, no story and no sense of age. It is said to be passed down forever, but if the price of diamonds collapses one day, this bright flower will probably be worth less than There are no glass products of the same style.
If she exposed this thing now, it would indeed attract a lot of envious voices, but the voices of criticism and ridicule would probably not be small either.
To this day, Luo Quan does not need to satisfy his vanity in this way, so it is better to keep this diamond ring and appreciate it for himself. If there is a good opportunity in the future, he can take it out to surprise everyone.
But when Su Yu and the others knew that such a beautiful diamond ring could only be shelved, they immediately cried out that it was a pity.
At the same time, I also lamented the boss's structure. This kind of choice was more thorough than Jinyi Yexing, and he didn't give others a chance to know.
Luo Quan looked at Su Yu, who was playing with the diamond ring, and said with a smile: "This thing can't help but be more expensive. In fact, the value is only that much. It will fall off easily when you wear it on your hand. It's better to put it in the cupboard to save worry."
Ivy was curious: "Boss, you said it so lightly. Do you have a better treasure?"
"Of course, my baby is unique in the world!" Luo Quan said, putting his hand into his collar and groping for it.
The three women looked over in surprise, their eyes widened.
"What are you looking at?" Luo Quan frowned, then took out a necklace from his collar.
Lan Xuan suddenly felt a bit disappointed: "Hey, I thought you were going to show me that baby."
"Can you be more serious?" Luo Quan was speechless. She didn't expect that just such a sentence could make them think wrong.
"See clearly, this is the treasure I'm talking about!" Luo Quan spread the ancestral treasure that her father gave her in the palm of her hand. Luo Quan has been wearing it closely since she got it. When she took it out, the necklace still had warmth and smell.
Su Yu sniffed: "It smells pretty good."
Lan Xuan guessed: "It smells familiar. Could it be a collector's edition perfume from Chanel?"
Ivy clapped her hands: "Could it be the boss's body fragrance? It seems that the most beautiful women have this kind of special function!"
"Have you never used Safeguard Lemon Fragrance Shower Gel?" Luo Quan looked confused, "This should be one of the most common shower gels in China."
"……………………" The three women suddenly fell into silence.
After a while, Su Yu finally said in a low voice: "There are too many chemicals added to this thing. I heard it hurts the skin, so I never use it."
Lan Xuan clicked: "I use the latest rose essence shower gel from Victoria's Secret. It is purely natural and has no additives. It not only increases the lubrication of the skin, but also brings a special fragrance."
"It's all fancy, I've never used these things before." Luo Quan said, rolling up his sleeves and showing off his dazzling ivory-white arms.
Su Yujian exclaimed: "When I looked at the photos taken by my boss, I thought my skin was so good because of the filters I used, but I didn't expect it to be so white!"
"Is it true that there is no foundation on this?" Ivy said and grabbed it directly. The place where she started felt cool and firm, and she gently lifted it up, and the skin slipped past her fingertips.
"Outrageous!" Lan Xuan couldn't help but give Luo Quan a thumbs up, "Boss, if you were in a situation like this, if you traveled back to ancient times, you would be the heroine in the legend."
Luo Quan was curious: "What story?"
Su Yu raised his fingers solemnly: "The wine pool and the meat forest, Mawei Slope, the beacon fire plays on the princes, and the crown and anger turn into a beauty."
Luo Quan immediately waved his hand in an angry and funny tone: "Fuck you, I am a bad woman who brings disaster to the country and the people? Can't she be a heroine like Mu Guiying or Hua Mulan?"
Ivy suppressed a smile and said, "It doesn't quite fit your image. I think it's more appropriate to be a beauty and a disaster."
"Don't digress, the focus is on this necklace." Luo Quan ended the topic, "Focus everyone's attention on this necklace again."
Lan Xuan frowned and said: "This necklace feels a bit rough in workmanship, especially the gem cutting. If you look closely, there are many flaws."
"Of course, after all, this is jewelry from hundreds of years ago." Luo Quan explained.
The three women were shocked: "Hundreds of years? What's the origin?"
Luo Quan introduced: "This is a birthday gift from my dad. It is said to be an heirloom of the Albert family. Its origin is even older than the Albert family. It is said that it was a jewelry craftsman from the Holy See who was commissioned by the French royal family. It was built, at least five to six hundred years ago."
Lan Xuan finally understood: "I asked why this pendant is a cross. It turns out to be religious jewelry. This orange gemstone is quite beautiful, but it's a pity that the cutting craftsmanship is a bit poor."
Luo Quan nodded: "This is truly a priceless treasure. This necklace has witnessed the rise of the entire Albert family and has extraordinary significance.
To me, ten diamond rings are not worth as much as it! "
Ivy asked curiously: "So how much is it worth?"
Luo Quan pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid it won't work if you insist on using money to price it. The material of this necklace is actually not very precious, and it's not worth a lot of money.
But it carries so much history that it is not an exaggeration to say it is a cultural relic.
In domestic terms, this is a cultural relic from before the Ming Dynasty. If you want to sell it, it should be worth three years in prison. "
"We'll understand if you put it like that." Lan Xuan immediately backed away tactically. When it came to the word cultural relics, he knew that this thing could not be measured with money.
Luo Quan put the necklace back with a smile on his face: "Actually, the amount of money is secondary, the key is that this thing has magical powers.
This necklace is called the Lucky Kiss and it brings good luck to its owner. "
The three women suddenly laughed: "I can tell, boss, your current fortune is not ordinary."
Of course, these can only be regarded as flattering words. Luo Quan's popularity is only due to her amazing appearance and talent. Other factors are almost negligible in front of these two characteristics.
But sometimes I can't help but think about luck. It seems that every time Luo Quan encounters trouble, it will end up being the special plane that helps her take off.
Whether it is because of this necklace is a matter of opinion. From a current point of view, this should be a blood advantage. After all, Luo Quan has serious European ancestry.
After seeing Luo Quan's treasure, Lan Xuan and others still felt that the ring was of higher value and proposed to take it back and play with it for a night.
Luo Quan has always been very generous with these external possessions, and with a wave of his hand he lets them take them away to enjoy.
I originally thought I could take a rest at home on Sunday, but when I checked the mailbox on Saturday night, Luo Quan saw an email.
It was sent by a charity organization, saying that a charity auction party will be held tomorrow night in Shanghai. China's top celebrities will be present, and Luo Quan is also invited.
In the past, Luo Quan probably would not have joined in the fun.
But now, she represents more than just herself. Her company and artists all rely on her. Going to such occasions can bring her into contact with more big names in the entertainment industry, which is quite beneficial for resource sharing.
In the past, she was a singer. If she had good works, channels would come to her and ask her to choose these channels.
So Luo Quan had the confidence to refuse all promises. She could go if she wanted to, and she didn't have to go if she didn't want to.
But after becoming a boss, she can no longer act so willfully, because her artists are not as arrogant as she is.
When their wings are not yet full, they need to compromise with reality, which is understandable.
In fact, in Luo Quan's previous life, he had been struggling in society for many years, and these principles were like a mirror in his mind.
But I had suffered so much and had to pretend to be a grandson in order to make a living. Now that I have finally managed to be a father, I can naturally be as willful as I want.
It's a pity that the time for willfulness is a little short. Even though she is such a salty person, she still wants to continue to develop.
After all, working for others is no better than letting others work for you. Now she has completed the most primitive accumulation in the entertainment industry. It only took her one year to complete the path that others may not be able to complete in ten or twenty years.
But now, she has embarked on a new path, and she has to start over and compromise on many things.
After all, there is a saying in "The Legend of the World": Put on your socks first and then your shoes, be a grandson first and then a master!
Although it is a bit vulgar, the truth contained in it is still quite profound.
Of course, this does not mean that Luo Quan must become a grandson now. Her starting point is already much higher than others, and her own potential is still unclear. As long as nothing happens, she will still be popular for many, many years.
Capital and the media will always be after her, but if she wants the company to be as popular as herself, she must rely on the efforts of her boss and other artists in the company.
This charity gala is the first step in making changes.
Although you don’t necessarily have to film something, it’s good to expand your network. After all, you can’t bother people with everything, Mr. Zhou. Although Penguin Interactive Entertainment has many resources, they are mainly focused on online dramas and movies. Relatively weak.
After deciding to go, Luo Quan searched for information about this charity on the Internet to find out whether it was official or not.
After all, there are too many so-called charities selling sheep over dogs. There are quite a few that are called charities but are actually used to launder their rights.
After searching the reputation of this organization, Luo Quan discovered that this organization was established by wealthy overseas Chinese who wished to remain anonymous.
This overseas Chinese has a rich collection at home and a passionate patriotism. In addition to often buying lost cultural relics from China and donating them to the country, he also takes part of his own collection for auction every year. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to education and infrastructure in the west for free, and every money will be seen where it goes.
What kind of spirit is this? This is simply a famous family entrepreneur in the true sense, so noble and selfless that Luo Quan has doubts about these resumes.
Nowadays, anyone can write Baidu entries, who knows whether the information is true or false.
No wonder Luo Quan couldn't believe it. People in this society were really unhappy. As long as there were a few news about transferring assets and evading taxes in the name of charity, she wouldn't be so suspicious of the patriotism of such a conscientious rich man.
But if this is true, then she admires this respectable old man from the bottom of her heart. There are not many rich people in China with such spirit.
The top of the list of richest people changes one after another, and no one is clean. Every now and then, some negative news will break out...
Overall, this charity organization called Zhenhua has no major problems and has a pretty good reputation online.
And because more and more celebrities are invited every year, and the celebrity status is getting bigger and bigger, this annual charity auction party has also become a major event in the entertainment industry, and every time it is held, it will bring considerable popularity.
This can be regarded as using traffic to promote charity and draw society's attention to poor people, which is a great good thing.
Celebrities spend money to buy fame, and they can also get a good collection of arty items, and at the same time, they can get acquainted with other big shots, which is also beneficial.
Therefore, Zhenhua Charity Auction becomes more and more grand every year and attracts more and more attention every year.
Of course, this year is a little different from previous years.
This year, in addition to Zhenhua Charity, several overseas auction organizations also participated with their collections.
Zhenhua Charity has taken out its own collection, and the proceeds from the auction will be used for charity.
These foreign institutions used the name of Zhenhua Auction Party to auction collections entrusted by some collectors.
After all, China is famous for its rich people and their willingness to spend money.
So this time, in addition to the celebrities in the entertainment industry, many of the top tycoons on the Asian rich list will also be present to participate in the second round of auctions.
As the host, Zhenhua Charity has also convinced those foreign auction houses to use a small portion of tonight's auction proceeds for Chinese charities.
It can be regarded as a commission paid to them for borrowing this platform.
After this news came out, public opinion unanimously applauded the behavior of Zhenhua Charity, calling it a benchmark for Chinese tycoons.
The media also began to build momentum for this auction on a large scale. It is said that some rare and rare collections will appear at this auction.
