The auction officially began.
The host took the stage, delivered an opening spiel, and immediately moved on to introducing the first item up for bid.
As Li Xiaoyao had expected, the main attractions at today's charity auction were various pieces of jewelry and calligraphy paintings.
After all, the items up for auction were private donations from tycoons of various industries.
You couldn't expect a newly rich individual to have much taste; outside of antique calligraphy paintings and jewelry, they truly had nothing else.
"This is a Precious Sword from the Tang Dynasty, engraved with the Beidou Seven Stars Formation, said to have been forged by the Tang Dynasty's celestial master Li Chunfeng..." The host rambled on for quite a bit before finally saying, "This item has been generously donated by the organizer of today's auction: the chairman of Jiangdu Industries, Mr. Dou Qing, at great personal sacrifice. The starting bid: one Xuan Country Currency!"
