"Oh, this young gentleman is bidding two thousand dollars, is there anyone willing to pay a higher price?", A less healthy flush has emerged on the staff's face, and some people may be surprised. No matter how good the auction items are, they have nothing to do with you. What are you excited about?

In fact, this statement is not correct. As the organizer, the Tener Grand Theater closed for five days for this charity dinner. The first four days were used to arrange the venue, arrange seats, and the last day to hold the auction and dinner. Each job requires a lot of time and energy from the staff, and at least two performances have been delayed for five days. The Tennell Theatre is definitely not a charity. They have to be paid.

Of course, they would say that hosting such events is free and supports charity.

But the money to be collected will not be less. The amount of compensation comes from the final turnover, of which one percent belongs to the Grand Theater. Just like the countless rules of the game that make this city work, this is also a part of the rules of the game.

Therefore, the higher the total transaction price in the auction stage, the higher the income obtained by the theater, and the staff who preside over the auction will of course have a small bonus.

So it has something to do with him.

Many eyes immediately followed the direction of the staff's eyes, and looked back at Du Lin sitting on the edge of the ninth row. Du Lin smiled and nodded steadily, and soon he noticed that an old man sitting on the right side in the middle of the first row turned slowly and looked at him.

The old man's hair was gray, and his body looked a little emaciated. He squinted his eyes, maybe his eyes weren't very good. A decent suit and the respect that other people had for him and his seat all showed that this old man should be this pot of waste grass Provider, one of two MPs in Tener City.

Du Lin stood up at this moment, clutching the hem of his clothes with one hand, and saluting himself. The old man's face was filled with a kind smile, and he nodded to Du Lin.

Maybe Du Lin is an idiot in the heart of this old man. He paid 2,000 yuan for a piece of mud with weed that he deliberately dug from the road this morning. Isn't that stupid? But at least at this time his mood was happy, and happiness was also from his heart. The reason is very simple. Tomorrow's newspaper will report on the charity dinner tonight. It will also mention him and the charity he "donated"-two thousand yuan. As for who pays for him, it will not be reported in the newspaper, unless the reporter, editor-in-chief, and editor-in-chief, including the boss of the newspaper, do not want to stay in Tener City.

His good name will spread to more people's ears, and he will continue to be a great "philanthropist" in Tener City.

Two thousand yuan, bought a pot of wild grass at an amazing price, celebrities and officials may think that Du Lin is very marketable, vulgar, and stupid. But those tycoons would envy him, because of this weed, Du Lin had the right to meet with members of Parliament once.

Again, this is one of the rules of the game.

The next few celebrities' auction items have been sold at relatively high prices, and even Prandot has contributed a box of "Land of Paradise" and was bought by a rich man at a premium of 200%. Immediately after, the auctioneer donated by the second member of parliament was put on the auction table. However, this time was completely different from the one where Du Lin successfully bid, and his auction was coldly treated.

The reason is actually very simple. According to the requirements of imperial law, each city must have at least two members of the state legislature, one of which belongs to the old party and the other belongs to the new party. If the area of ​​the city is huge and the population is large, there will be a third, fourth, or even fifth member of parliament. The legislators of the various cities finally sat together as members of the state legislature. They vote on the state's next roadmap and policies. Of these, four will be one of the members of the Imperial Parliament, including two from the New Party and two from the Old Party.

As we all know, Tennell City is the sphere of influence of the Old Party. The important organs and institutions of the entire city are firmly held by the Old Party people. There is a New Party member in a group of Old Parties, which shows how he should be here. "torment". Anyone who dares to make a bid means that he has fallen into the embrace of the New Party-within the sphere of influence of the Old Party, he has turned to the New Party in a bright light.

Therefore, even if the New Party member brought out a pretty reeling pocket watch, no one raised his hand to bid, and the whole theater became extremely quiet at this moment.

The Member raised his hand indescribably, with his back facing out and a finger extended.

The staff standing on the stage suddenly smiled, "This gentleman is willing to bid a thousand yuan for this luxurious filigree pocket watch. This pocket watch comes from the hand of Aldo's famous clock master. It is definitely worth it One of the collectibles, is there anyone still asking for a higher price? "

In three lightning-quick inquiries, which may be the only exception for the entire city, the congressman paid for his own donated pocket watch. But he just looked ugly and didn't look angry. This kind of thing, he has experienced it more than once in these two years!

Of course, no one will discuss such a weird process. New Party MPs may be rejected by many parties in Tener City, but at the same time the mayor and several major officials in the city will not embarrass him or even create a new one for him. The comfortable working environment and living environment improve his enjoyment and living standard as much as possible. Because under Empire law, when a city submits a bill to the state legislature, it must be signed by at least two members from different camps at the same time to be considered valid.

In other words, if he gritted his teeth and did not sign, the city would not have any substantial development in four or even eight years. So people rejected him and had to serve him comfortably.

The short silence passed quickly, the theater became lively again, and soon reached the climax of the auction phase-donations from Mayor Peter.

That was a painting. If Delier would be here at this time, he would cry for his half-knowledge of art, and obviously a worthless oil painting. Why can he make a high price every time?

Yes, this is the oil painting that Delier "sells" to Mrs. Vivian, worthless oil painting, but at this special time and on this special occasion, its value is definitely higher than some famous artists s work.

This oil painting, which represents the spring but was covered with green and yellow spots, was screamed at 2,000 yuan. The tycoons and rich people who were silent for the entire time seemed to recover from hibernation. The money is here Time is really just a number. In just a few minutes, the auction price of this oil painting has reached 4,600 yuan.

There was no obvious emotional change on Peter's face, as calm and calm as ever.

Sitting in the ninth row, Du Lin watched fewer and fewer people shouting. He raised his fists, and then everyone began to breathe coolly.

"Ten thousand yuan!"

This shocking price made everyone look again at the young man on the edge of the ninth row. Is he crazy?

Similar charity dinners are often held almost once every month, and once every two or three months. With so many activities, it is difficult for the bid to exceed 5,000, because it is not a year or a few years after missing the next one. It may only take more than twenty days to have the next one, so Everyone kept a very restrained state, and basically recovered their hands when it was 5,000 yuan.

The tycoons and the rich are also very aware that once the price is raised too high, it will be difficult to lower it.

Peter's donated goods sold at a high price of 6,000 yuan, but when it was low, it was only 3,000 yuan.

It was the first time in Tener City to shout 10,000 yuan like this!

At this time, he never talked. Peter who stood up stood up and went directly to the podium. "May I ask, young man, your name?" His voice was a little low, but it was full. The magnetism of a man should be **** and charming in his voice.

Du Lin also stood up again, bent down and saluting, and replied loudly, "My name is Du Lin, sir."

A lot of people in the room showed a look of complete realization, Peter raised his brows slightly, and he had heard the name. At this point, although many people think that Du Lin is crazy, he has no interest in pursuing such a profligate move. Everyone knows that the profit of private wine is very high, and everyone has heard of the new rising in Tener City Giants, most of them showed a clear look.

Peter nodded strongly, pointing at Du Lin, "I have heard of you!" People's eyes shifted from Du Lin to the mayor, "I don't judge what you are doing right or wrong now I do n’t refer to other people ’s evaluation of you. At this moment, on this occasion, I will affirm your behavior. I understand that, as many people here understand, your purpose may not be simple, but it cannot be because of your The purpose is not simply to ignore the effect of this 10,000 yuan donation on those poor families who urgently need relief! "

"There will be dozens of families. Hundreds of families will be improved because of your current actions ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ You let them have clothes to wear, you allow them to fill their stomachs, and this is exactly the charity dinner held today Purpose! ", His voice gradually turned red," that is to help those in need! "

"Mr. Durin, on behalf of the needy families in Needell, those in need of relief, thank you for your generosity!"

Du Lin, speaking in this speech, felt as if he had suddenly become great, but he knew that this was performance, and this was the political skill of the mayor of a remote city. Obviously it was he who took out huge sums of money to support the mayor's stinking feet, but under the mayor's words, both Du Lin and the mayor became sacred.

Du Lin pursed his lips and said loudly, "I found that I had done a stupid thing myself, and I was willing to give up another 10,000 yuan for charity in Tenell City. Thank you, Mayor. It was you who made me understand. My fault, thank you for teaching me, thank you! "

Sitting in the second row, Heidler twitched, he thought he might have lost sight.

The mayor on stage finally smiled a little.

This kid, yes!
