v2 Chapter 921: .Do you want to be the mayor (6/10)
Qin Shiou was in a daze on his seat, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.
He was taken aback, and subconsciously hugged the idol tightly. He turned around and saw that he was an acquaintance, the new mayor Hamley.
There was a gentle middle-aged man beside Hamley. The middle-aged man was carrying a bag. Qin Shiou ignored the Lord Mayor and said to the middle-aged man: "Sir, may I ask you to lend your bag? May I use it? I will pay you back tomorrow."
The middle-aged man's mouth twitched, he looked at Qin Shiou with a strange look, and said hesitantly: "Sorry, man, I don't think this is very convenient."
Hamley helped Qin Shiou and said, "No, Slavich, we all know that there are only a few insignificant documents in the bag. Right, I promise he will pay you back."
Middle-aged Slavic is obviously a civil servant. What can he do if the Lord Mayor speaks? He took out the documents from his backpack and gave the bag to Qin Shiou.
Qin Shiou put the idol in his bag, and the temptation was finally reduced, allowing him to communicate and talk with people normally.
Hamley sat with him and said happily: "How long have we not seen each other? God, you guys only stay in the fishing grounds and enjoy your good life. Why don't you come to the city to participate in some activities?"
Qin Shiou said: "You know, Winnie is pregnant, I have to take care of her all the time."
Hamley nodded and asked, "Where is Vinnie? Is she here today?"
Qin Shiou said that he did not come, the traffic on the road was inconvenient, and the weather was cold. Just let Winnie stay at home. He asked Hamley why he was here, was he here to preside over the auction?
He said this as a joke. The mayor must not be able to preside over a charity auction for the private sector. It is not a question of identity. It is that he is now one of the least popular people on the scene.
When the Canadian government conducts self-promotion, there is a saying that often appears, which means that the government’s primary responsibility is to maintain social fairness and justice and to ensure that the disadvantaged groups are not eliminated.
What is the purpose of charity activities like now? Naturally, it is to help disadvantaged groups. According to the government, shouldn't this be the government's responsibility? Say it again. Taxpayers pay taxes every year. Where did the tax go? Why did the government not solve the funding problem after the people in the jurisdiction were affected by the disaster and still need taxpayers to donate?
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Hamley laughed bitterly and said helplessly: "The government is not everything, Qin, you don't know how bad the stall I took over. I don't want to complain to you. I can only say that I will participate this time. The charity auction came in a private capacity."
The two communicated. At this time, a white glove in a suit and leather shoes came on stage, knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet, then he waved, and some children came out and distributed the brochures to the people present.
This brochure introduces the areas affected by the snow disaster and the destructive power produced. Naturally, we call on everyone to actively participate in the auction to help the victims.
After reading the brochure, Qin Shiou realized that this four-town charity auction was organized by the church members of the Baptist’s Rectangular Christ Church, and Cabot was one of the leaders. The manual specifically mentions his second grandfather, Qin Hongde, and introduces the origin of the charity auction in the Four Towns and the results of several previous times.
After the auction started, White Glove took out the auction items one by one. There were a lot of things that participated in the auction, including simple strokes drawn by children.
At the beginning of a period of time, all auction items started at ten yuan, which was of little value. Most of the people who took out the auction items took them back by themselves. Just take the opportunity to donate a small amount of money.
Qin Shiou raised his cards several times and took down some small things. These things were useless to him, but just as he said before. Accumulate virtue for the child, because it doesn't cost much. He is not short of money now.
Especially, this time he participated in the auction and got the unexpected joy of the Dragon Birth Fragrant Statue. According to the tradition of his hometown, he also had to make some money. Not all the good things in the world can be obtained by him.
Moreover, Qin Shiou felt that everything in the world is destined to drink and peck. Almost all of the ambergris he got were related to goodwill. The last time he got the ambergris bracelet, it was because he gave up on the **** graciously. The responsibility of the ship owner.
The white glove raised a small tiger sculpture. Qin Shiou is very sensitive to wood carvings. He didn't know if this little thing was related to ambergris after being too far away, but it was dark, so he simply raised his hand. Can't let it go.
As a result, he just raised his hand, and Hamley next to him also raised his hand. The two looked at each other, and Qin Shiou asked in a low voice: "Are you interested in this?"
Hamley said helplessly: "Man, this is the auction item I took out. It is a small toy carved out of oak when my sister and I were young."
Qin Shiou touched his nose. Since Hamley said that this thing was carved with oak, it obviously had nothing to do with him, so he took the opportunity to go downhill and did not continue to bid.
But someone has carried Hamley, and that person is also related to Qin Shiou-Nelson.
The white glove shouted: "Oak tiger toy, two hundred Canadian dollars-OK, that gentleman paid 200 Canadian dollars-300 Canadian dollars, oh, thank our Mr. Mayor, he made-OK, that gentleman increased the price It's 500 Canadian dollars..."
Hamley looked at Nelson strangely. The two naturally knew each other. He asked, "What is Nelson doing? Why is he interested in such a small toy?"
Qin Shiou gave Hamley a malicious look. He would not tell this guy about Paris. It is estimated that Mr. Mayor has become a dog since he took office and did not pay attention to his sister's relationship problems.
Nielsen was impatient with his eldest brother in a tug of war, and the next price increase directly mentioned 1,000 yuan.
The first exclamation sounded at the scene. Everyone did not understand how such a pile of broken toys for five dollars would sell for a high price of 1,000 yuan, but this is a charity auction, and everything cannot be measured by common sense. .
Hearing the white glove shouting the price of '1000', Hamley whispered: "This **** will definitely regret it, does he think it is made of gold? Okay, okay, if he wants to, let him take it! "
Qin Shiou secretly said to your unlucky brother, what Nelson wants to take away is not just a toy, it is estimated that even your baby sister will also be taken away.
In the future, the value of the things that appeared became higher and higher. In the background, there are auction experts invited by the church to evaluate the auction items urgently. The worthless items are simply divided into files, and if they are important items , Then it has to be carefully evaluated.
The auction will not happen overnight, but will be divided into several time periods. The first section of the auction is coming to an end. At this time, a Chinese painting is taken out. It is a very long scroll. The name of the scroll is surprisingly "A River on the Qingming Festival." "! (To be continued~^~)
