Chapter 129: All Movie Emperors
"Oh, this young gentleman has offered 2,000 yuan. Is there anyone willing to pay a higher price?" A non-healthy flush has appeared on the staff's face. Perhaps some people will be very surprised. No matter how good an auction item is sold, it has nothing to do with you. Why are you excited about?
In fact, this statement is wrong. The TNER Grand Theater, as the organizer, closed down for five days for this charity dinner. He spent the first four days to set up the venue, arrange seats, and hold the auction and dinner on the last day. Each job takes up a lot of time and energy from the staff. At the same time, at least two performances were delayed in five days. The TNER Grand Theater is definitely not a charity organization, they have to charge compensation.
Of course, they would say that hosting such activities is free and supports charity.
But the money you should collect will not be less. The amount of reward comes from the final transaction volume, and one percent of it belongs to the Grand Theater. Just like building countless rules of the game that is operating normally in the city, this is also a part of the rules of the game.
Therefore, the higher the total transaction price during the auction, the higher the income the Grand Theater will receive. The staff who host the auction will naturally have a small bonus.
So this has something to do with him.
Many eyes immediately followed the direction pointed by the staff's gaze and looked back at Du Lin sitting on the edge of the ninth row. Du Lin smiled and kept nodding. Soon he noticed that an old man sitting in the middle of the first row slowly turned around and looked at him.
The old man's hair was gray and his body looked a little hunched. He squinted his eyes. Perhaps his eyes were not very good. His decent suit, the respect for him by others and his seat all showed that the old man should be the provider of this pot of weeds, one of the two congressmen in Tyneer City.
Du Lin stood up at this time, tucked the hem of the clothes with one hand, and bowed to him. The old man had a kind smile on his face and nodded at Du Lin.
Maybe in the old man's heart, Du Lin was a fool. He paid two thousand yuan for a piece of mud with weeds dug out from the roadside this morning. What is this stupidity? But at least he was happy at this time, and happiness was also heartfelt. The reason is very simple. Tomorrow's newspaper will report tonight's charity dinner, which will also mention him and the donation he "donated" - two thousand yuan. As for whoever pays for him, the newspaper will not report it, unless the reporter, editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief, and the boss of the newspaper do not want to continue in Trère City.
His reputation will spread to more people's ears, and he will continue to become the great "philanthropist" in Trère City.
Two thousand yuan, a pot of weeds were bought at an astonishing price. Celebrities and officials may think that Dulin is very merciful, vulgar and stupid. However, those tycoons would envy him because of this pot of weeds, Dulin had the power to meet with the congressmen.
Again, this is one of the rules of the game.
Next, some celebrities' auction items were sold at relatively high prices. Even Prondo contributed a box of "paradise" and was bought by a rich man at a premium of 200%. Immediately afterwards, the auction items donated by the second MP were placed on the auction table. However, this time was completely different from the time when Dulin successfully bid, and his auction items were coldly treated.
The reason is actually very simple. According to the requirements of imperial laws, each city must have at least two members of the state parliament at the same time, one of which belongs to the old party and the other belongs to the new party. If the city has a huge area and a large population, then there will be a third, fourth or even fifth member. The members of each city will sit together and be the overall members of the state parliament. They vote to decide the next development blueprint and policies and regulations of a state. Among these people, four will become one of the members of the Imperial Parliament, including two new party and two old party.
As we all know, Trère City is the sphere of influence of the old party. The important organs and institutions of the entire city are firmly controlled by the people of the old party. There is a new party member among a group of old party. This shows how "torture" he should be here. Anyone who dares to bid means that he has fallen into the embrace of the new party - he surrendered to the new party openly within the sphere of influence of the old party. Isn't this seeking death?
So even though this new party MP took out a pretty good filigree pocket watch, no one raised his hand to bid, and the entire Grand Theater became extremely quiet at this moment.
The MP raised his hand with an indescribable expression, and stretched out a finger.
The staff standing on the stage immediately smiled, "This gentleman is willing to bid for this luxurious filigree pocket watch for 1,000 yuan. This pocket watch comes from the hand of Alodore's famous watch master. It is definitely one of the products worth collecting. So is there anyone who wants to pay a higher price now?"
Among the three lightning-fast inquiries, perhaps the only exception in the entire city, the MP paid for his own donation of pocket watch. However, he only looked ugly and did not show 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. New Party members may be rejected by many parties in the city of Tyneer, but at the same time, the mayor and several major officials in the city will not make things difficult for him, and will even create a comfortable working and living environment for him to improve his enjoyment and living standards as much as possible. Because according to imperial laws, when a city submits a bill to the state parliament, at least two members of the parliament belonging to different camps must sign it at the same time to be considered valid.
In other words, if he gritted his teeth and refused to sign, the city would not have any substantial development in four or even eight years. Therefore, 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 was a painting. If Derell was here at this time, he would definitely cry for his little understanding of art. Why can the oil paintings, which are worthless, be sold at a high price every time?
Yes, this is an oil painting that Delier "sells" to Mrs. Vivian, a worthless oil painting, but at this special time and on this special occasion, its value is absolutely higher than the works of some of the already famous artists.
The starting price of this oil painting, which represents spring, is covered with green and yellow spots, was called to 2,000 yuan. The tycoons and rich people who were silent throughout the show were like they were recovering from hibernation. At this time, the money was really just a number. In just a few minutes, the auction price of this oil painting was as high as 4,600 yuan.
There was no obvious emotional change on Peter's face, and he was as calm and calm as ever.
Dulin, who was sitting in the ninth row, watched as fewer and fewer people shouting, raised his fist, and then everyone began to gasp.
"Ten thousand yuan!"
This shocking price made everyone look at the young man on the edge of the ninth row again. Was he crazy?
Similar charity dinners are often held, most often, almost once every month, and fewer times once every two or three months. So many activities make it difficult for bidding to exceed 5,000, because if you miss the next one, it is not a year or a few years later. It is possible that you only need to wait for more than 20 days to have the next one, so everyone is in a very restrained state and basically recycle it when it reaches 5,000 yuan.
The tycoons and the rich also know that once the price is raised too high, it will be difficult to reduce it.
The donated products provided by Peter were sold at a high price of up to 6,000 yuan, but at low prices, it was only over 3,000 yuan.
It was the first time in Tyneer City that I just shouted out ten thousand yuan!
At this time, Peter, who had never spoken and expressed his opinion, stood up and walked directly to the hosting stage, "Can I ask, young man, your name?" His voice was a little low, but it was full of the magnetism that a man should have, and his voice was sexy and charming.
Dulin also stood up again, bowed down and replied loudly, "My name is Dulin, sir."
Many people present showed a sudden enlightenment, and Peter raised his eyebrows slightly. He had also heard of the name. At this point, although many people thought Dulin was crazy, they had no interest in pursuing his squandering actions. Everyone knew that the profits of private wine were very high, and they had also heard of the rising new giants in Tener City. Most of them showed a clear look.
Peter nodded vigorously and pointed at Dulin, "I have heard of you!" People's eyes shifted from Dulin to the mayor, "I don't evaluate whether what you are doing now is right or wrong, nor do I refer to other people's evaluation of you. At this moment, on this occasion, I will affirm your behavior. I understand, just like many people here understand that your purpose may not be simple, but you cannot ignore the role of this thousand yuan of donations on those poor families who urgently need relief because your purpose is not simple!"
"There will be dozens of families, hundreds of families because your current actions have been improved. You let them wear clothes and you let them fill their stomachs. This is the purpose of today's charity dinner!" His voice gradually turned red, "That is to help those in need!"
"Mr. Dulin, on behalf of the poor families in Trneer who need help and those who need relief, I thank you for your generosity!"
Du Lin felt that he suddenly became great, but he knew that this was a performance, and this was the political skill displayed by the mayor of a remote city. It was obvious that he should have spent a lot of money to curry favor with 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 did something stupid myself. I am willing to spend another 10,000 yuan on the charity work of Tyneel City. Thank you, Mayor, it is you who made me understand my fault. Thank you for your teachings to me, thank you!"
Heidler, who was sitting in the second row, twitched his lips, and he felt that he might have misunderstood.
And the mayor on the stage finally showed a little smile.
