Everyone looked at Pagio in amazement, there was no one to compete for this price.
Pagio straightened his clothes, walked onto the stage with his head held high, and picked up the Movado watch.
At such an auction, everyone who comes knows the roots, and no one is cheating at this time.
It's all about taking the lot and talking about it.
The purpose of those who are familiar with each other is this speaking time.
Dodge Pilson looked excited, this auction must be on fire!
The first one sold so much, this Pagio is really a big man, he didn't get angry when he offended him like that just now, and he must be praised for a while.
Pagio waved his hand, and the applause stopped.
Listen to Pagio.
"Actually, I didn't take this watch."
Padgio's first sentence stunned everyone.
"I am bidding for this watch today on behalf of my friend, our equestrian triple crown champion this year, Mr.
Xiao Pengxiao from China."
Pagio held his watch and said, "Mr.
Xiao has set up his own charitable foundation, which is the first charitable act in his charitable fund.
But considering that many people may not be familiar with him, it is up to me to bid for him today.
Let's invite Mr.
Siu, a real buyer today, to say a few words. ” After listening to Pagio's words, everyone turned their heads to look at Xiao Peng, and their eyes changed!
Padgio gave Xiao Peng a stand like this?
What is the relationship?
Isn't it just a jockey?
As for cheering him on like this?
What is the identity of this Chinese person?
Xiao Peng walked on the stage, first unhurriedly took off the Van Cleef & Arpels watch on his wrist and put it in his pocket, and directly put on the Movado.
The people here are very discerning, they don't think of Xiao Peng's Van Cleef & Arpels as a cheap cartoon watch, and everyone here wears a famous watch.
But tens of thousands of dollars of watches make them very identious, and few people are willing to buy this million-level Van Cleef & Arpels watch, and then look at Xiao Peng in his pocket casually, he doesn't take that thing seriously.
For businessmen, the criterion for evaluating a person's success is simple, whether he has a lot of money.
Xiao Peng seems to be very rich, that is a success!
After Xiao Peng put on his watch, he smiled at everyone and said, "Maybe you don't know me, but it doesn't affect anything, after all, everyone is here for respect for Mr.
Hawking and support for charity."
I respect Mr.
Hawking's achievements and respect Mr.
Hawking's actions, so I have entrusted Pagio to take this watch on behalf of my personal fund. ” Hearing this, someone raised his hand: "Mr.
Xiao, I don't know how much you injected into your charitable fund?"
” Xiao Peng smiled slightly, he guessed this, after someone was curious about him, he would definitely find a way to know his assets.
Will ask this question.
He replied, "I'm not like you, I'm a successful businessman, so I don't have much money to come up with."
I only have $55 million in my fund, and of course, I would like to thank my partner Yang Meng, who supported my business and supported my decision to inject $25 million into my fund.
Now I have $80 million in my fund.
I hope you give my friend a round of applause. ” Everyone listened and inhaled cool air together, 80 million is not much?
It's not that there are no rich people here, and there are also those worth hundreds of millions and billions, but how do you look at the worth?
All kinds of real estate, companies, stocks.
How can there be so much liquidity?
These two Huaxia people just took out 80 million?
The scene gave applause to Yang Meng, who was sitting with Miao Miao, but he frowned, he really didn't know what Xiao Peng was doing.

As soon as the applause ended, someone asked: "I don't know Mr.
Xiao, what aspects of charity is your charity fund involved in?"
” Xiao Peng smiled: "This is a good question, I just said, I respect Mr.
Hawking, but I also sympathize with Mr.
Hawking's suffering, who has been tortured by such a disease for more than half a century."
So my fund is relatively close to Mr.
Hawking's fund, Mr.
Hawking's fund is for motor neuron disease, as you know, motor neuron disease is generally divided into four types: 'amyotrophic lateral sclerosis', 'progressive muscle atrophy', 'progressive bulbar palsy', ' Primary lateral sclerosis', Mr.
Hawking is a great man who can treat and study these conditions at the same time, and I am just an ordinary person, so my fund is only for one of them, which is amyotrophic sclerosis (ALS), which is the disease that has plagued Mr.
Hawking for more than half a century. ” "I wonder when Mr.
Xiao paid attention to ALS?"
Xiao Peng feels like he is holding a press conference now, and many people are asking questions, which is good, he doesn't have to take the initiative to introduce himself.
"I've been following this since the Ice Bucket Challenge, but you know, people, don't always have money, because I have money now, so I held this charity project.
Support for ALS patients.
Xiao Peng replied.
Many people know the 'Ice Bucket Challenge', to put it bluntly, it is an invitation to take a bucket of ice water to pour themselves on the Internet, and if you don't pour ice water, you will pay for it.
What Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Cook did not hesitate to get wet in the camera.
But many people don't know what the purpose of this ice bucket challenge is------ it is to raise money to help ALS patients.
"Oh?
How many patients does your charity fund pay for each year?
Some people can't get used to Xiao Peng being so showy and asking a sharp question.
As we all know, this 'ALS' and cancer, AIDS, leukemia and rheumatoid are known as the world's 'five terminal diseases', the mortality rate of ALS patients is about 50 within three years, and the mortality rate within five years reaches 90!
The incidence is about 4 per 100,000, and the most important thing is that the disease cannot be treated.
Slow down (!)
Part (!)
The vast majority of patients can only rely on instruments to delay their lives.
This means that a large amount of treatment costs are unaffordable for patients and families----- various inpatient medical expenses in the early stage; After two years of illness, a ventilator is needed to sustain life; Loss of exercise ability after one year, unable to take care of themselves, need to be cared for 24 hours a day, at least two people to take care of them; After that, the trachea will be cut, and what kind of invasive ventilators, sputum suction machines and other equipment will be used, all in all, it will be money!
No one wants their loved ones to die, but if they really suffer from ALS, it is really an extra day of life and more pressure on the family.
Therefore, Xiao Peng's charitable fund is naturally reminiscent of the fact that it is to provide medical expenses for ALS patients.
But these billionaires usually set up charitable funds to serve themselves or their families and future generations.
The more money you give to others, the less money you have for yourself.
No matter how much money you donate to set up a charitable fund, if you only manage the treatment costs of one patient every year, it will show that your purpose of charity is not simple; On the contrary, if you help too many patients, it is really a bottomless pit, waiting to throw money!
Eighty million dollars?
Sounds like a lot, but at most it's the cost of treatment for a thousand patients for a year!
And now in China alone, there are 200,000 ALS patients!
At this point, the official answer should be: our foundation carefully investigates the people we need help, identifies those who need it most, and gives them the best help according to the funds in our fund.
Anyway, it's the set of 'white, big, empty', which sounds very reasonable, but when I came to my senses, I just farted and basically didn't say anything.
However, this is generally the official speech routine on such occasions.
When people thought that Xiao Peng would answer like this, Xiao Peng had a surprised expression: "Who said that my fund is to help ALS patients pay for their medical expenses?"
” "Huh?"
Everyone was stunned.
What does that mean?
What is the purpose of setting up this charitable foundation?
Xiao Peng said lightly: "The money of my charity fund will be used to study how to reduce the cost of curing ALS symptoms. ” The crowd was in an uproar, they all suspected that they had misheard------ what the hell?
Reduce the cost of curing ALS symptoms?

The key point is the cure, are you kidding?
One woman asked, "Mr.
Xiao, I heard you right, right?"
You just said it was a cure?
” Xiao Peng nodded: "You heard it right, it's true."
It is a cure.
The team behind me had just developed a cure for ALS, but unfortunately it was a bit late and didn't help Mr.
Hawking.
But it's also a good thing to be able to help other patients.
However, the cost of this treatment is too high, and with my current financial resources, I can only provide free treatment to five people a year. ” Everyone was shocked at this moment, Xiao Peng waved his hand, signaling that he was finished.
Pagio took the microphone: "I know you think this is a bit shocking, but I vouch for Mr.
Xiao as the CEO of Prada Group, this thing is true!"
Well, Mr.
Xiao has already taken the lot he wants, and we still have some things to do, so let's take my leave!
” "Mr.
Xiao!
Do you know how big a difference this can have?
A man in a suit said with a shocked look on his face.
Xiao Peng didn't know him, but Pagio said: "Editor-in-chief Hall, congratulations, you have a scoop."
I'll say it one last time, it's true.
I can bet on Prada's reputation for this.
By the way, as a caring enterprise, we at Prada Group donated 20 million US dollars to Mr.
Xiao's fund.
Support his philanthropic causes. ” After speaking, the two were about to continue leaving, but Hall refused to let them go, and asked anxiously, "Mr.
Xiao, I don't know how you choose free patients?"
” Xiao Peng stopped: "I think you know that we have 200,000 ALS patients in Huaxia, and with our current funds, it is really a drop in the bucket.
That's why the funding project is being used to study how to reduce the cost of treatment.
As for the free treatment slots, you Stars and Stripes people are rich, and we Chinese people are poor, so these five free places will be used for Chinese people.
Of course, in order to dispel the doubts in your minds, you can find a ALS patient as soon as possible, and I will treat him for free, so that you can be sure that my charity fund is not a scam. ” Someone next to him patted the table and stood up: "Mr.
Xiao, what do you mean?"
The charity fund you set up in the Stars and Stripes was used to help the Chinese people?
” "Is this illegal?"
Xiao Peng asked rhetorically.
The man was stunned.
Violate the law?
It's definitely not illegal!
But it's not a crime or a crime!
This is the basic truth, the charity fund you set up in the Stars and Stripes does not serve the people of the Stars and Stripes?
What the hell are you hairy?
