"Oh, this young gentleman offered 2000 yuan. Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?", an unhealthy tide has appeared on the staff''s face. Maybe some people will be surprised that no matter how well an auction item sells, it has nothing to do with you. What are you excited about?


    In fact, this statement is wrong. As the organizer, the tenell Grand Theater closed for five days for the charity dinner. It used the first four days to decorate the venue and arrange seats, and held the auction and dinner on the last day. Every work takes up a lot of time and energy of the staff. At the same time, at least two performances have been delayed in five days. Tenell theatre is definitely not a charity. They have to be paid.


    Of course, they will say that hosting such activities is free and supports philanthropy.


    But there will be no less money. The amount of remuneration comes from the final turnover, of which 1% belongs to the Grand Theater. Like countless rules of the game that have built the normal operation of the city, 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 of the Grand Theater. Naturally, the staff who preside over the auction will 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. Turin smiled and nodded his head. Soon he noticed that an old man sitting in the middle right of the first row slowly turned and looked at him.


    The old man''s hair is gray and his body looks a little bent. He narrows his eyes. Maybe his eyes are not very good. A decent suit and the respect of others for him and his seat all show that the old man should be the provider of this basin of weeds, one of the two senators in tenell city.


    At this time, Du Lin stood up, tucked in the hem of his clothes with one hand and bowed. With a kind smile on his face, the old man nodded to Turin.


    Maybe in the old man''s heart, Turin is a fool. He paid an amazing price of 2000 yuan for a piece of mud with weeds dug out from the roadside this morning. Isn''t this stupid? What is it? But at least at this time, his mood is happy, and his happiness comes from his heart. The reason is very simple. Tomorrow''s newspaper will greatly report tonight''s charity dinner, which will also mention himself and his "donation" - 2000 yuan. As for who pays for him, the newspaper will not report it, unless the reporter, the editor in chief, the editor in chief, including the boss of the newspaper, do not want to stay in tenar city.


    His good name will spread to more people, and he will continue to be a great "philanthropist" in tenell.


    Two thousand yuan, an amazing price to buy a pot of weeds, celebrities and officials may think that Dooling is very Philistine, vulgar and stupid. But those tycoons would envy him. Because of this pot of weeds, Dooling had the right to visit the congressman once.


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


    Next, some celebrities'' auctions have been sold at relatively high prices. Even prando contributed a box of "paradise" and was bought by a rich man at a premium of 200%. Then, the auction items donated by the second congressman were put on the auction table. But this time is completely different from the one when Dooling succeeded in bidding. His auction products were ignored.


    The reason is actually very simple. According to the requirements of imperial law, each city must have at least two members of the state parliament at the same time, one of whom belongs to the old party and the other belongs to the new party. If the city has a huge area and a large population, there will be a third, a fourth or even a fifth member of Parliament. Members of various cities finally sit together and are the whole members of the State Council. They vote to decide a state''s next development blueprint, policies and regulations. Among these people, four will become members of the imperial parliament, including two from the new party and two from the old party.


    As we all know, tener city is the sphere of influence of the old party. The important organs and institutions of the whole city are firmly controlled by the people of the old party. There is a new Party member in a group of old parties, which shows how "suffering" he should be here. If anyone dares to bid, it means that he has fallen into the embrace of the new party - he has taken refuge in the new party in the sphere of influence of the old party. Isn''t that looking for death?


    Therefore, even if the new Party member took out a fairly good Silk Pocket Watch, no one has raised his hand for bidding, and the whole Grand Theater became extremely quiet at this moment.


    The congressman raised his hand with the back of his hand facing outward and stretched out a finger.


    The staff standing on the stage suddenly smiled, "this gentleman is willing to bid 1000 yuan for this luxurious wire pinching pocket watch. This pocket watch comes from the hand of the famous watch master of Orlando. It is definitely one of the goods worth collecting. Now does anyone want a higher price?"


    In three quick inquiries, perhaps the only exception in the whole city, the congressman bought his donated pocket watch with his own money. But he just looked ugly, and there was no sign of anger. He has experienced this kind of thing more than once in the past two years!


    Of course, no one will discuss such a strange process. Members of the new party may be excluded by many parties in tener, but at the same time, the mayor and several major officials in the city will not embarrass him, and even create a comfortable working and living environment for him to improve his enjoyment and living standards as much as possible. According to imperial law, when a city submits a bill to the State Council, it must be signed by at least two members of different camps at the same time before it is considered effective.


    In other words, if he bites his teeth and just doesn''t sign, the city will not get any substantive development in four or even eight years. So people rejected him and had to serve him comfortably.


    The brief silence soon passed, the theater became lively again, and soon reached the climax of the auction stage - donated items from mayor Peter.


    It''s a painting. If delier were here at this time, he would cry for his little knowledge of art. Why can he bid a high price for a worthless oil painting every time?


    Yes, this is the oil painting that delier "sold" to Mrs. Vivian. It is worthless, but at this special time and on this special occasion, its value is definitely higher than the works of some famous artists.


    The starting price of this oil painting, which represents spring but is covered with green and yellow spots, was shouted to 2000 yuan. Those tycoons and rich who have been silent all over the scene are like recovering from hibernation. Money is really just a number at this time. In just a few minutes, the auction price of this oil painting has reached 4600 yuan.


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


    Sitting in the ninth row, Doolin watched fewer and fewer people shouting. He raised his fist, and then everyone began to take a breath.


    "Ten thousand yuan!"


    This shocking price makes everyone pay attention to the young man on the edge of the ninth row again. Is he crazy?


    Similar charity dinners are often held, mostly once a month, and rarely once in two or three months. So many activities make it difficult for the bidding to break through 5000, because this one missed the next one. It is not a year or a few years later. It may only need to wait for more than 20 days to have the next one. Therefore, everyone maintained a state of great restraint and basically recovered at 5000 yuan.


    Tycoons and rich people also know that once the price is raised too high, it is difficult to reduce it.


    Peter''s donated goods sold at a high price of 6000 yuan at most, but when they were low, they were only over 3000 yuan.


    It''s the first time in tenell to shout out $10000 like this!


    At this time, Peter, who had never spoken, stood up. He went directly to the rostrum, "can I ask your name, young man?". His voice was a little low, but full of magnetism that men should have, and his voice was sexy and charming.


    Turin stood up again, bowed down the same way, and replied loudly, "my name is Turin, sir."


    Many people in the audience showed a suddenly enlightened look, and Peter raised his eyebrows a little. He had also heard the name. So far, although many people think that Turin is crazy, they have no interest in pursuing his extravagant behavior. Everyone knows that the profit of private wine is very high, and they have heard of the new giant rising in tenell. Most people show a clear look.


    Peter nodded vigorously and pointed to Turin, "I''ve heard of you!" people''s eyes shifted from Turin to the mayor, "I don''t judge what you are doing is right or wrong, and I don''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 you can''t ignore the effect of this 10000 yuan charity on those poor families in urgent need of relief because your purpose is not simple To the role of! "


    "There will be dozens of families, hundreds of families because of your current actions. You let them have clothes to wear, and you let them fill their stomachs, which is the purpose of today''s charity dinner!" his voice gradually became red and bright. "That is to help those in need!"


    "Mr. durin, on behalf of the poor families in need of help and the people in need of relief in tenell, I thank you for your generosity!"


    Durin felt as if he had suddenly become great, but he knew that this was the performance, and this was the political skill shown by the mayor of a remote city. Obviously, he should have spent a lot of money to flatter the mayor, but under the mayor''s words, both durin and the mayor became sacred.


    Durin pursed his lips and said loudly, "I found myself doing a stupid thing. I am willing to take another 10000 yuan for the charity of tenell city. Thank you, mayor, for letting me understand my fault. Thank you for your teaching me. Thank you!"


    Heidler, sitting in the second row, took a smoke from the corner of his mouth. He thought he might have lost his sight.


    The mayor on the stage finally showed a little smile.


    This boy, good!
