After Dooling received several guests alone, the charity auction began.
This time, because durin invited the church as the preparatory co organizer, they provided many valuable auctions for the auction. The church is probably one of the most well preserved forces in the world for things like antiques. Even now, if some historians want to inquire about more detailed historical materials before the collapse, they must go to the church headquarters in sunset City, where there are still many relatively complete letters, and the historical records are countless times more complete than those circulated outside.
Not only these books and letters, but also some antique cultural relics, including high-quality products and church substrates. At least the items participating in the auction will not be looked down upon by some picky people.
Some people always think that charity auction is cheating money, and getting some things that may have some significance, such as socks worn by a historical celebrity or Mr. Jiao used by a famous ancient queen, but these things do not have any practical value. In addition, the final donation will not make everyone feel that this is a real spontaneous charity, It is more like a trick of robbing celebrities under the guise of charity.
But they can''t hide. The higher the level of society, the more attention and focus on philanthropy. Not all high-level people are enthusiastic about doing good deeds. It is purely because once the comment of "willing to donate and enthusiastic about charity" appears in court and in front of the jury, those jury members at the bottom of society will have a hazy favor without advanced degrees and knowledge reserves.
Perhaps the help they have received came from the "defendant". Even though the help they received many years ago did not come from the gentleman''s pocket, he also helped many people in need of help like himself.
This seems like a very childish or even impossible message, but in fact it works very well. In several famous cases, the word "charity" really shook many jury decisions.
A man who is willing to do good must not be a bad man.
This is the consensus of the society. Besides, the money for charitable donations can also be credited with taxes to a certain extent, so why not donate the taxes that should have been paid to the Empire in exchange for a good reputation and insurance?
When everyone came, the charity auction officially began. This is a new auction, because there is no quiet auction hall here, it is open-air, but an inexplicable atmosphere is spreading. The wonderful breath of nature and the white yarn symbolizing purity have more or less aroused the enthusiasm of some people, so that from the first auction in the hot field, each item can be won only after several rounds of bidding.
"The next auction is a very special commodity...", the young auctioneer who has cooperated with Du Lin stands on the rostrum in high spirits, waving his small hammer, and Du Lin''s attention is on the person around him.
Harry, this guy somehow got an invitation, ran in and sat next to him.
At this time, Harry was a little depressed and not as energetic as before. In the past many years, he always acted on the social and political stage as "the successor of MARGES" and "the next leader of the new party". With these two auras, everyone will look up at him. But the sudden changes suddenly cut Harry''s bright political life. While some people feel pity, more people are gloating.
There is nothing happier than watching a political star suddenly collapse. Even within the new party, many people are watching Harry''s jokes. They regard themselves as the next prime minister and the leader of the new party all day. They speak high all day. It''s terrible and comfortable to fall down.
"I need some help..." Harry whispered to Dooling. "The Committee has lowered my rating, and there are no new arrangements for me. I may have to refrigerate me for some time. I don''t want to waste my best time cultivating my sentiment. I have to find something to do."
Turin looked at him without speaking. Harry looked away at his knee. "In return, I will try my best to help you get the biggest advantage in the election. After all, I have been governor and know more about things here than you. You should believe me."
"So what do you need me to do for you?"
Harry was silent for a moment, which seemed a little hard to say, but he had to say what he thought was a stain or disgrace of his life compared with the current problems.
The good situation has been destroyed by some small things, and the family''s support for him has been reduced to the lowest. During this period, he asked MARGES, who made no commitment to him. Instead, he let him have a good rest for a few years and let him enrich himself. He knows very well that he has been abandoned by margus. If he can''t find a new backer to hold him out, his political life is likely to end, so this is his last chance.
After taking a deep breath and swinging it on his chest, he said his request, "in return, I hope to give me a position in the state government, governor''s assistant, or secretary."
Dooling frowned slightly and loosened, "are you going to run for the next mid-term election?"
"Er... Yes." Harry was a little surprised at Dooling''s sensitivity. Taking part in the mid-term election as governor''s assistant or secretary and then becoming mayor is the best way for many assistants and secretaries to set foot on the political stage. They have higher-level political experience and are very familiar with various cities in the state. They themselves have good congenital conditions, As long as Dooling doesn''t openly oppose him, even if he doesn''t support him, he can start his political career again.
Behind every noble, there are many friends who are very interested in all kinds of investments, including political investments.
Durin took out a cigarette and lit it. He held his arm and thought for a moment. "I can''t promise you now. You know, some things are not what we want to do. It needs the nod of the prime minister."
Harry is a little disappointed. In his impression, Turin has always been the kind of person who has the courage to break the rules. He rarely obeys the rules made by others, but is willing to abide by the rules made by himself. At this moment, he has become honest, which makes Harry feel as if he has been targeted.
He forced a smile. "Well, call me as soon as possible."
Durin nodded, "I''ll contact you as soon as I have the exact news. And don''t forget the money."
When it comes to money, Harry''s face becomes more ugly. After he was dismissed, the campaign funds were temporarily frozen. If he is sure to continue to run for imperial prime minister, the money can still be used. But the problem is that if he can''t win the election, he will lose the money and even the position of governor. The capitalists who usually hold him in heaven can swallow him alive as soon as they turn around.
So the money can''t be moved for the time being. Let''s freeze it temporarily.
But the problem is that Harry still owes Turin a lot of money. If he can''t recover, the family can''t use the money to repay his personal debt. The bigger the family, the more strict the rules were. Turin''s last sentence really pinched his death. When he asked Du Lin to borrow the money, the new Party committee had not disclosed his idea to deal with him. He felt that as long as he passed this difficult stage, it was too simple to collect the money. Even if he could not be the prime minister or his governor, a local policy would be enough to make him get more money from those capitalists.
He took a deep look at Du Lin, pursed his mouth and nodded his head, "I won''t forget." after that, he got up and bent down and left Du Lin''s side. Now he is not suitable for excessive exposure in public. This time, he also asked his elders to take the invitation from a little aristocrat who has interests with the family.
Watching Harry leave, Turin paid attention to the auction again. At this time, he began to look at the auction carefully and turned over the picture album. This is a collection from the church. It is said to be the personal belongings of the former Pope Rossi, a statue of the father, with various magical abilities... Of course, these can not be verified, So far, no function has been confirmed. Most of them are recorded in the residual records of the church, such as luminescence.
In principle, such a valuable thing should not be auctioned. In fact, people here, except those in the church, don''t really understand it. This small arm sized statue has always been an unspeakable taboo. People in the early church found a secret by sorting out the past documents. The shape of the statue is very similar to the description of Pope Rossi himself!
Some records record that Pope Rossi is an apostle of God and the embodiment of God walking on the earth, but the problem is that no one has a clear description of the appearance of God, so why is the Rossi church so similar to the god they believe in? Some senior clergy believe that there may be an unknown history and amazing inside story.
Later, after the Tianzheng sect overthrew other sects in the church, respecting the Lord of Tianzheng was the real God, the "successor" recognized by the Father God, and comprehensively replaced the Lord of light based on the appearance of Pope Rossi, which led to today''s Tianzheng Lord church.
This statue is one of the few things left over. Putting it in the church will inevitably cause some people to have some bad thoughts. Some people will hold on to the "tradition" and might as well auction it. Without these dependencies, a small group of people can''t jump.
As for why not destroy... No one dares to destroy anything related to Pope Rossi!
It is a kind of doubt, injury and even betrayal of faith, faith and history!
