Unaware how time had flown, the auction had now entered its final moments, and today's charity auction had raised over fifty million yuan.
Especially noteworthy was a string of prayer beads worn by Qianlong during imperial rites, which sold for more than twenty million yuan, causing a sensation throughout the venue. With such a high fundraising total, it could be said that tonight's charity auction was a huge success. Those poor orphans would receive a great deal of financial support, with improvements to their education, living conditions, and diet.
The auctioneer stepped aside, and the host returned to the stage. After gesturing for silence with a slight press of his hands, he cleared his throat and said, "Next, we will auction the final item. This item has been provided by a kind-hearted individual who wishes to remain anonymous. I will now present this auction piece for you, so I hope everyone sharpens their eyes."
