Considering the overall situation of the auction, today's auction will be divided into two rounds.
In the first round, all the auction items were displayed on the first floor of the venue, with a base price ranging from US $ 10 to US $ 100. Every guest present can bid.
There is a thick stack of small cards next to the auction items. Guests only need to leave their bid numbers and auction numbers on the cards; if someone later wants to bid higher, then they can remove the previous card , Put it aside, write down a higher number and your own number.
The entire exhibition will last for 90 minutes. Within the event time, if the bidding number exceeds $ 3,000, the on-site staff will withdraw in advance and enter the second round of auction; while the bidding number is less than $ 3,000, After the display time is over, the highest bidder will be awarded.
Of course, there will inevitably be unexpected situations at the scene-
For example, if there are no items from the beginning to the end, then they will also be sent to the second round of auctions, hoping to give them a second chance. After all, this is not a valuable art auction. The charity contribution is undoubtedly a regret.
As another example, there are no items with a bid of more than three thousand dollars in the audience-this may be very rare, but the second round of auctions is still not necessary to continue. Compared with the amazing price of the auction, the mind is more important, it is entirely Coexist in harmony, there is no need to compete for victory.
Now is the first round of auction, all the guests can bid freely, and you can see that many Stanford students have participated in it, the scene is really lively; when waiting for the second round of auction, that Only invited guests can attend.
Lu Ke handed Myers' Batboy suit to Candice, and then joined the ranks of volunteers on site to do their best for the auction.
Between the hustle and bustle, the entire auction was very lively, and Lu Ke became the deserved focus of the audience. Subsequently, Logan, Marcus, and Alton and others came together, which also made The auction has become more and more noisy, and the craze can be felt throughout the campus.
The charity auction was organized by the family of 49 players in San Francisco. Jiang Youning is only one of them. The composition of the auction items is very diverse, including items mailed from online fundraising channels, and also donated by the players themselves. Everyone wants to contribute to the charity auction.
In addition to donating items, the team also specially sent representatives, hoping to act as a "living signboard" by personal participation, adding to the team ’s activities, and looking forward to being able to raise money through the way of "selling" in person. More money, so that the auction can be successfully concluded.
Judging from the on-site response: the effect is particularly excellent.
Hearing that 49 people in San Francisco sent a number of main players to attend the auction, it was obviously lively around the venue. The bustling crowds could be seen all over the campus, and the crowds on and off made the on-site staff appear. The embarrassment of insufficient manpower.
Although Logan and others were trapped in layers, they still did not forget their task: not to sign and take pictures, but to guide the auction, so they enthusiastically started selling.
"Eh, did you know? The Batman auctioned off his suit."
"Yes, yes, Bambi auctioned his jersey, that's the only one!"
"I donated a vinyl record I love! Yes, the entire album is poured into my iPod. I will listen to it before every game. Welcome to music taste."
"Underwear / pants? Haha, you can try to persuade me, I think Marcus might be willing."
"Tell you a secret, Al Dong was originally preparing to auction a voucher for dinner. As a result, Bambi said, then he would auction it, and then let Al Dong read the tactical manual at dinner time."
"Are you sure you are not interested? Bambi allows you to touch / abdominal muscles. Really true! You said my biceps? Of course, I have no problem."
"Otherwise, I will start auction here now and hug Banby once, five dollars. What? Too low? It's okay, we all contribute to charity. I believe that Banby will not refuse."
"Hey, Bambi! Find it here!"
There was a lot of screams after another, and one turn may be "sell" by his teammates. The joyous scene of constant laughter is absolutely rare. Even those passers-by who do not have much interest in the auction, they all appeared in the venue. With the momentum of the National League Championship, the auction has achieved an unimaginably huge success-at least from the topic level, it has already won.
Ninety minutes, it sounds very sufficient, but the actual situation is extremely short. In the noisy scene, the time is fleeting, and there is no time to taste it. The first phase of the auction is so successful.
Next, the auction will enter the second stage: fewer participants and higher bid prices, which will also determine how much money this auction will eventually be able to raise-although the number of charity auctions is not the most important , The intention is; but this is also one of the meanings of the auction, only more funds can help more people, of course, I hope to be more beneficial.
It is not an accident that the auction can smoothly enter the second stage; in fact, the enthusiasm caused by the charity auction is the most unexpected:
The first round of quotations for all 31 items exceeded $ 3,000!
This not only means that the second round of auctions must also last for a period of time. It is definitely not so easy to bid on 31 items one by one; it also means that the second round of auctions has not yet begun, and the fund-raising has easily exceeded 100,000 USD, this is just a guaranteed figure.
In fact, according to preliminary statistics, in addition to these 31 items, there are nearly 300 other items, and the cumulative number of their first round of bids has successfully exceeded 600,000 US dollars-
The specific figures may fluctuate up and down, and now it is only a rough estimate, but no matter how, for a fully open charity auction, and it is still a charity auction held within a university, such a number is undoubtedly It is very gratifying. This is the biggest award for the entire event.
More importantly, from the first round of bidding and the number of items entering the second round of auctions, it is more predictable to predict the next auction.
After a short break of 15 minutes, the invited guests and the first round of guests who reached the top price have appeared on the second floor of the venue, preparing to participate in the second round of auction.
This is a spacious and bright meeting room, with burgundy carpets, dark blue curtains and log chairs, all the details reveal a solemn atmosphere, showing a different texture from the modernization and youthfulness of the previous first floor. It also caused a subtle change in the atmosphere of the entire venue.
The surroundings were filled with low-pitched voices, and the eager anticipation appeared on all the faces. The secret surging enthusiasm made people involuntarily become excited, and the hair could be caught between the eyebrows. From the heart's lightness, people feel the warmth of happiness
Sharing pain, then pain will become half; sharing happiness, then happiness will double. Not only can you help others through your own little efforts, but you can also get in touch with the 49 players in San Francisco. Who would like to miss such a double-edged opportunity?
"Are we going to bet, I think Bambi's jersey is definitely the highest price in the audience."
"I don't think so. The Batman's suits were donated! Didn't you just see? The crowd around that suit is almost three times that of other places! Almost everyone reported the price once, sugar candy It even changed the card paper once, not to mention those who took photos with nostalgia. "
"I also think that Myers is indeed very popular now, even if he doesn't like rugby, but who can refuse the cute bat kid? And, have you read the introduction written by Bambi for the jersey-I I hope my courage can be passed on to the next person who needs help! God, I ca n’t help but participate in the auction, this is definitely the best souvenir in the audience. "
"You said, can the Batboy suit be auctioned for $ 50,000?"
"Five thousand dollars, I don't think it's a problem. This is a charity event, isn't it? I think the price can be raised a little, even if it's just to raise more funds for the foundation, what's the point?"
"I have seconded $ 50,000, which is an acceptable number."
The positive and enthusiastic discussions are endless, and you can clearly feel the surge of the scene. The guests who came to participate in the second round of auctions are more or less family members. Among them, there are many Silicon Valley tycoons or heirs of consortia, which fund philanthropic activities with tens of thousands of dollars.
Candice leaned slightly towards Lu Ke, and said in a playful tone, "How are you nervous?"
Lu Ke could not help but chuckled, "Are you saying, the amount of the auction transaction? No, I am not nervous, if it is me, I will also choose the Myers suit. That suit is unique; and my jersey Although there is only one piece, buying a No. 14 jersey as a substitute is not a difference, is it? "
"What's more, Batboy's suit can also trigger discussions on social networks. I don't want to miss such an opportunity." Lu Ke's playful words made Candice's eyes full of smiles, and then followed. Nod, "Yes, yes, you are right, I think so."
The sound of discussion in the conference room is just like the dull thunder before the summer rainstorm is coming, and it continues to roll, and then you can hear the sound of a "wow" if there is nothing. I do n’t know whether it is the rainstorm or the sun is falling. This disappeared because the auctioneer officially appeared on the stage.
