Looking at the statue, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, there were still at most a dozen auction items until the end of the auction, and Durin had not participated in the auction until now, and he did not express his dedication and love for the society, which was incorrect. Of course, he can also take pictures of the things in the back, and he flipped through the album, and most of the things in the back are works of art and paintings.

After the rapid economic recovery of the empire in recent years, the prices of all kinds of artworks began to rise by leaps and bounds, and the works of second-rate artists who could only sell for three to five hundred yuan in the past can now be sold for thousands.

The art market was already beginning to show signs of chaos, and the statue was more pleasing to the eye than the inexplicable paintings, and he held up the sign in his hand and turned it over.

The young auctioneer immediately understood and shouted out in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Oh wow, Mr. Duhrin gave out 2,000 yuan, this is really a bombshell, such a big increase is very rare in this charity auction!", from more than 1,000 yuan to 2,000 yuan is not a big deal, but the way the auctioneer said it gives people a feeling of Dulin's arrogance of really stepping on a horse, a real horse is rich, and a real horse is a lot of money.

When a rich man does something, others will only look up to him, but when there is such an outstanding person in a group of rich people who stands out, it is inevitable that some people will be eager to try, especially if this price increase is still shouted in the face of others.

The cardinal sat on the sidelines and watched the auction quietly, and his heart was actually very excited, these things that were not very important in the church's inventory could be sold for so much money, and after going back, he could consider cleaning up a few large warehouses, and maybe he could find some unimportant things.

At the instigation of the auctioneer, however, no one dismissed Dohring's face, which is one of the biggest features of charity auctions - a higher bid means that the bidder has a strong desire to get the lot, and most of this happens when the bidder bids on the item he has sent for the auction.

For example, if you send an accessory worth 1,000 yuan to participate in the auction, when you get to this item, the owner of the item will shout out the price of 2,000 or 3,000 yuan to indicate that this thing is mine, and I will donate several times more to buy this thing back, everyone don't rob me, this is my beloved thing, and it looks good on the inside.

Of course, there are sometimes exceptions, and there is no shortage of people in this world who have unique ideas and like to break the rules, and most of the time they are represented by nouveau riche. Shoot it at several times or even ten times the price and give it to the original owner, or keep it yourself, their shouting is not exactly to break the rules or like this thing very much, there are many times it is to praise the original owner's scene, but they don't know that this will not only not have any good effect, but will make people feel that they are not polite.

This item is an exception, because the people in the church did not shout, and the others were relatively free to shout, but Doolin still showed his will, and the others also looked at Dulin with a smile, closed their mouths, and congratulated him in advance on obtaining the statue.

After three hammer drops, the statue belonged to Doolin.

Then there was not much turmoil, until all the goods were auctioned, Duhrin and the cardinal and two aristocratic representatives came to the podium, and after the charity auction, there was a charity fundraiser, which was linked, otherwise how could Duhrin donate his real estate worth hundreds of millions to the city hall in front of so many celebrities, and how could he show that he was an excellent young entrepreneur with a sense of social responsibility?

After two concessions, the microphone was handed to Durin, and after smiling and nodding his head to the cardinal and the nobles, he took a step forward, "Thank you very much for taking the time to participate in this charity event, thank you for your ......", after a burst of applause here, he seemed to think of something interesting, and suddenly smiled, "My origin is known to everyone ......", this sentence made people realize why he laughed, and he laughed heartily, " Yes, I am a farmer's son and I never shy away from it because I don't think it's a shame and I'll be proud of it, and I'll tell everyone that I'm a farmer's son!"

"When I was young, I tasted poverty, I experienced the rancid stench of despair, and I knew deep down that in some unnoticed corner of this society, there was a group of people in need who were slowly decaying in a dead black despair. ”

"They need our help, maybe just a few bucks, to be able to save a father, a mother, or even a family. ”

He took a deep breath and spit it out heavily, his tone becoming deeper, "The sun doesn't shine on them, no one can help them, they can only fall into the abyss in despair, rot in the corners of society." He paused a little as he said this, brewing the atmosphere for a moment, and then suddenly his tone became as passionate as a volcanic eruption, "But, we can!"

"The sun can't give them warmth, we can!"

"Faith can't fill them, we can!"

"As long as we lend a helping hand, we can save countless families in this society, let them deviate from the most miserable trajectory of their lives, let them have a new life, and can be bathed in the warm sunshine again!"

"This helping hand is called charity!"

"Everyone has the right to live, if others can't give it to them, we will give it!"

"It's not for nothing that each of us is doing today, it's not for you to have a decent topic to talk about, because we're doing good deeds. We have helped others, this should not be a talking point, it should be an insult to charity, this should be a kind of pride!"

"I have helped more people out of the predicament in the way I can, I can see the tears on their faces when they are redeemed, and I can also see their bright smiles when they move towards a new life, this is a great power, a great power that deeply shocks the whole of humanity!"

"There are stupid people who say that charity is a kind of hypocrisy, I spurn them, I despise them, there is no nobler person in this world than us, because we help others without asking for anything in return, because we have kindness, kindness and reverence for life!"

"If you want to understand how to be a person, you must first know how to revere life!"

"That's what we've been doing and will continue to do!"

Durin was a little panting when he said this, he was roaring almost the whole time, roaring, the whole lawn was silent, only his voice was constantly spreading, carried farther away by the wind. He paused for a moment, his voice calmed down, and he showed a smile again, a piercing smile, really like a flashing smile, "In my own name, I am here to donate one million to help all those in need, and I will set up a charitable foundation, invest tens of millions of funds, and use fifty percent of my income for charity." ”

"I may not be able to help everyone who needs me, but I will do my best to help everyone I have the ability to help them, I am not noble, I am not pure, I am just for peace of mind, and reverence for life!"

He bowed slightly and saluted everyone, "Thank you, thank you for your patience to listen to me, and thank you for the care of everyone with love for the disadvantaged, you are all angels." ”

As Durin stepped back, everyone stood up and applauded him, and what he said may not have been very skillful, but it was enough to shake people's hearts. The endless applause is the best commentary on what he said.

The reporters on the side were crazy and recorded what Du Lin just said in their notebooks, and the spotlight was turned on one after another, and all the reporters knew that tomorrow's news was going to explode!

With Durin's words, the cardinal decided to shut up after sliding his throat twice, and then handed the microphone to the two noble representatives behind him, who always maintained a decent smile, the two looked at each other, no longer saying anything to resonate, they just followed Dulin silently, and one of them donated 500,000.

With such an opening, all the people who participated in this charity event were generous, ranging from 1,000 yuan to tens of thousands, which made the cardinal laugh from ear to ear, and this time he really made a fortune. As for Dühring's remarks just now, he slightly attacked the question of faith...... Is that a problem?

Is it?

Is it?

？

Of course not!

After everyone had collected donations and it was about to end, Durin took the stage again and announced the news himself.

"I am recently engaged to Miss Ophelia Timamont, and this invitation can also be used as an invitation to my engagement ceremony. In addition, as a thank you to God for bringing my dear Ophelia to me, I will donate 30% of the real estate in the city of Otis ......"

The next day, almost all the newspapers reported on Doolin's words during the fundraiser after the charity auction, and the words added to the photo of Doolin waving his arms to the sky and his angry eyes made the newspaper out of stock in an instant.

The phrase "socially responsible capitalist" was once again extracted from memory, and countless words of praise were thrown on Dühring's body without money, and even Maggs was alarmed.

Looking at the almost identical photos in several newspapers, Maggs rubbed his temples - this bastard has itchy skin after a few days of not being on the news!
