v1 Chapter 128: auction

Du Lin just sat down after she was sent away, and Ernst didn't know when he was sitting next to him. "That woman is not as simple as it seems. Try not to have deep contact with her. ", He handed Du Lin a cigarette, and Du Lin also took it.

Although in the eyes of everyone, Du Lin should fight with Ernst at this time, and wish to kill each other to occupy more of the private liquor market in Tener City, but for Ernst, he sat beside Du Lin and passed on. The movement of smoke was not strange at all. This is high society, and this is the demeanor that high society elites should show when socializing. To put it simply, you obviously want to kill the person in front of you with a knife, but at this time and this occasion, you must treat the other person as your own good friend.

Only in this way can the three distorted views that conform to mainstream values ​​be reflected.

Well, it's utterly stubborn, anyway, it's right.

Dooling pulled out a lighter to light Ernst, and then to himself. Two people plus Carroll fighting in the city of Tenerife are dead and alive. Although they still maintain restraint and do not use direct force, they have become vicious in price competition. The wholesale price of each private wine has dropped by one or two. Profits have been thinned, and in people's eyes they are not far away from martial arts. However, people don't know that in terms of external expansion, the three have already won much higher dividends from the local private wine market than the profits of the local private wine market.

At the same time, in addition to letting everyone see that they are “fighting” with each other, they also have a relationship with the flow of private wine from other places into Tener. The influx of foreign private liquor is not just as simple as the first love being engraved. Perhaps their behavior has awakened those private liquor dealers who are still satisfied with operating the local market. expansion.

A large number of foreign private liquor has begun to flow into Tener, in order to keep the local market, a price war is necessary. The three private alcoholic beverages from other places that took turns to cut prices were caught by surprise. Originally, they wanted to come in to compete for the market, but they did not expect that Tener's market was already terrible. Except for a few high-quality private wines that are still fighting for high-end consumer groups, those in the low and middle end have all left.

They can't afford it. The cost of transportation makes them much higher than the local private liquor dealers. Coupled with the outbreak of the price war, they are simply not competitive.

On the contrary, before the private liquor dealers in other cities have not united as closely as they did to form a group similar to the business alliance, they faced the same price or even a little lower, but the quality of the foreign private liquor was out of reach. . This allowed Tener to make enough money, and even Carroll, who was the least divided, showed a lot of smiles, and was able to joke with the people around him.

So the apparent harmony between the two is not a pretense, it is a real harmony!

Du Lin glanced at the direction of the girl's departure, exhaled a smoke, and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? What other interesting statement is not possible?"

Ernst nodded, raised his legs, and spoke carefully.

Freina is not a simple girl. She knew that the director of the theater coveted her youth and beauty, but she tried every means to provoke two tycoons to jealous of her and the director. Unfortunately, she did not get the freedom she wanted, because the two tycoons have become one of the history of Tener City, because of various accidental bankruptcy and finally committed suicide. But this girl is still doing this. The purpose of her doing so is to put it bluntly. She hopes that a "warrior" who can defeat the "devil" appears and saves herself.

But she never considered what would happen if the "warrior" could not beat the "devil king" ... yes, she would try to find the next warrior.

After listening to Ernst's commentary, Du Lin snorted and sulked, and couldn't help smiling. No one who was able to stand firm on this occasion was simple.

Ernst patted his arm after seeing that he understood, then got up and left. His seat is in the fourth row, not here.

After about half an hour of embarrassment, people finally returned to their seats, and a charity evening was held. The host of the evening party was the director of the Tennell City Education Bureau in charge of Empire Civic Education in the city of Tennell. It is said that during the mid-term elections, the New Party will launch a reform and refinement of the administrative institutions, and the names of some administrative institutions will also change. But for now, the old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, white hair, and a very politician-like face is still the city's adult director in charge of education.

He gave a slight cough, and the hall immediately calmed down. The old man recounted some very old but well-recognized congratulations, and the hypocrites advocated to hope that more people could pay attention to the education industry. He said that in recent years, the education problem in Tener City has changed dramatically with the attention and support of many tycoons and celebrities. At the same time, remind all guests that 30% of the fundraising amount will be transferred to the Education Bureau account as a special education fund to provide more "cheap" education and let more citizens get knowledge Popularity.

While Du Linku was sitting in the Grand Theatre to participate in this actually boring charity auction, outside the Grand Theatre, the squinting bucket carer lost focus, and a blank car washman suddenly got excited. He remembered the familiar Who's back!

It was the young man who was so diligent that they could not bear it. Obviously, he could get a fair amount of money by washing away the dust on the car. He wanted to wash the car more seriously, which led them to have to Work harder to earn the same rewards as before. It was because the boy broke the rules here that he told the mad dog about it, which led to a conflict between him and the mad dog.

Maybe he was just working inside, and the car wasn't his, but he helped others stop.

Skinny explains everything he sees, because there is no reason to explain it. The guy who was more than three months and four months ago who still needs to rely on hard work to earn a meager income can buy it after such a short time. Can afford a car. You must know that the car is worth at least 2,800 yuan. It is definitely not affordable for their class. They never even thought about it.

Two thousand eight hundred yuan?

how is this possible!

There was a slight change in the expression on his face. In fact, there was not much hatred between him and the boy. Except for his bad business in the past few days, there was no substantial conflict between the two. But the crazy dog ​​said that who can provide the news of the kid will give five dollars as a reward.

Five dollars is not a small sum. You can earn a lot of money by washing a car once. You can wash three to five cars a day. This is why everyone is “perfunctory” in car washing. Because most of the time the car wash peaks at night, and not every car owner has a strict cleanliness of the car's appearance, and sometimes there may be no business for a day. Therefore, washing the car in the shortest time to compete for more business is a skill that every car washer must master.

These five dollars, for him, is half an month's income, and it is still the type of good luck.

His throat knot swung up and down involuntarily. He knew exactly what would happen if the kid was caught by a crazy dog. To be honest, there was no deep hatred between them, except for the disgust in just a few days. Dislike.

But ... that's five dollars after all.

He turned and placed the bucket and other tools under the lamppost, and other companions would look at him for him. The unsettling desire for five dollars forced him to make a decision contrary to his original intention.

He was going to find the crazy dog ​​and get the five dollars.

Maybe someone will get injured or even die for this five dollars, but it has nothing to do with him, is it?

Du Lin in the Grand Theater did not know that the short-term appearance caused people's attention. After sitting for half an hour, he finally ushered in the second half of this charity auction.

Most of the first half are donated by tycoons. These things may be worth a little money, but snapping these things is meaningless. According to the hidden rules of charity auctions, the things donated by these tycoons will be offered at a moderate price by themselves, and they will be shot back. Except that others like to compete, the owners of general things will give up after they speak, this is here Rules of the game.

But the second half of the auction was different. Most of these donations came from celebrities in Tener City and the game rulers in Tener City. They come up with even a worthless thing ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and often can make a high price. Are the rich and the tycoons bad? Of course not. In this way, they can improve their relationship with celebrities and officials.

The first auction item in the second half came from one of the two MPs in Tener City. It was a pot that looked a bit inexplicable. I didn't see anything famous, but it didn't look like anything, but it was just such a thing. The first quotation of the thing has already surpassed the final drop hammer price of all previous donations.

"Three hundred pieces!", The young staff member of the Grand Theater waved the hammer with high emotions. "This respectful gentleman is willing to give three hundred pieces to get this potted plant full of wildness and natural atmosphere. Is anyone still paying a higher price? ", The staff once again showed a flowerpot full of wild grasses everywhere on the roadside. With Du Lin's artistic cultivation, he could not see that anything related to art was inevitable.

"Five hundred dollars!"

"Five hundred and fifty dollars!"

...

The bidding was basically over when it reached 1,000 yuan. When the staff member who presided over the auction was about to knock down the gavel, Du Lin raised his hand ...
