"Oh, this young gentleman bid two thousand yuan, is anyone willing to pay a higher price?", a not very healthy flush has appeared on the staff's face, maybe some people will be very strange, no matter how good an auction item sells, it has nothing to do with you, what are you excited about?

In fact, this statement is not true, as the organizer of the Tennell Grand Theater closed for this charity dinner for five days, used the first four days to set up the venue, arrange seating, and the last day to hold this auction and dinner. Every job takes up a lot of time and energy from the staff, and at least two performances are missed in five days, and the Turnier Theatre is definitely not a charity, they are paid.

Of course, they will say that hosting such an event is free and supports charity.

But the money that should be collected will not be less. The remuneration comes from the final turnover, of which 1% goes to the Grand Theatre. It's like the countless rules of the game that make the city function, and it's 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, and the staff who preside over the auction will naturally have a small bonus.

So it has something to do with him.

Many eyes immediately followed the direction of the staff's gaze and looked back at Durin, who was sitting at the edge of the ninth row. Durin smiled and nodded his head, and soon he noticed an old man sitting on the right in the middle of the first row slowly turning to look at him.

The old man's hair was gray, his body looked a little rickety, his eyes were squinting, probably not very good, his proper suit and the respect that others had for him and his seat, all showed that this old man must be the provider of this pot of grass, one of the two councillors of Turner City.

Durin stood up at this point, tuck the hem of his shirt with one hand, and bowed. The old man smiled kindly and nodded at Durin.

Perhaps in the old man's mind, Durin was a fool, and he paid an astonishing price of two thousand pieces of mud with weeds that he had dug up from the side of the road this morning, and it was not stupid or anything, but at least at this time he was in a happy mood, and his happiness was from the bottom of his heart. The reason is simple, tomorrow's newspaper will have a big report on tonight's charity dinner, which will also mention him and the money he "donated" - 2,000 yuan. As for who pays for him, the newspaper will not report it, unless the reporters, editors-in-chief, editors-in-chief, including the newspaper boss, do not want to stay in Turnell City any longer.

His good name will spread to more people's ears, and he will continue to be a great "philanthropist" in Turner City.

Two thousand dollars, a staggering price for a pot of weeds, celebrities and officials may think that Doolin is philistine, vulgar, and stupid. However, the tycoons would envy him, because because of this pot of weeds, Durin had the right to meet with the councillors once.

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

The next auction items of some celebrities have been sold at relatively high prices, and even Plando contributed a box of "Promised Land", which was bought by a wealthy man at a premium of 200 percent. Immediately afterwards, the auction items donated by the second member of parliament were put on the auction table. But this time was completely different from the one when Durin won the auction, and his auction received a cold reception.

The reason is simple: according to the laws of the Empire, each city must have at least two members of the state legislature at the same time, one of whom belongs to the old party and the other to the new party. If the city is huge and has a large population, then there will be a third, fourth, or even a fifth councillor. The councillors of the various cities sit together at the end and are the members of the state legislature. They vote to decide on a state's next development blueprint and policies and regulations. Of these people, four will become members of the Reichstag, two from the new party and two from the old party.

As we all know, Turnier City is the sphere of influence of the old party, and the important organs and institutions of the entire city are firmly controlled by the old party, and there is a new party councillor in a group of old parties, which shows how "tormented" he should be here. Anyone who dares to bid means that he has fallen into the arms of the new party - in the sphere of influence of the old party, he has openly defected to the new party, isn't this looking for death?

Therefore, even if the New Party MP took out a fairly good cloisonné pocket watch, no one raised his hand to bid until now, and the entire Grand Theater became extremely quiet at this moment.

The councillor raised his hand with an indescribable face, the back of his hand facing outward, and held out a finger.

The staff standing on the stage suddenly smiled, "This gentleman is willing to pay 1,000 yuan to bid for this luxurious filigree pocket watch, this pocket watch comes from the hands of the famous watchmaker in Ordo, it is definitely one of the most collectible goods, so is there anyone who wants to pay a higher price now?"

Of the three lightning-fast inquiries, probably the only exception in the entire city, the councillor paid for the pocket watch he had donated. However, he only had an ugly face, and there was no sign of anger. In the past two years, he has experienced this kind of thing more than once!

Of course, no one will discuss such a strange process, and the New Party legislators may be ostracized by many parties in Turnell, but at the same time, the mayor and several key officials in the city will not embarrass him, and will even create a comfortable working and living environment for him, so as to improve his enjoyment and living standards as much as possible. According to imperial law, when a city submits a bill to the state legislature, it must be signed by at least two members of the same camp at the same time to be considered valid.

In other words, if he gritted his teeth and didn't sign, the city wouldn't get any substantial development in four or even eight years. So people rejected him and had to serve him comfortably.

The brief silence soon passed, the theater came alive again, and soon reached the climax of the auction phase – a donation from Mayor Peter.

It was a painting, and if Delier were here at this time, he would have wept bitterly because he knew a little about art, why did an oil painting that was obviously worthless fetch a high price every time?

Yes, this is an oil painting that Delier "sold" to Madame Vivian, a worthless oil painting, but at this particular time, on this special occasion, it is definitely worth more than the work of some artists who have already become famous.

The starting price of this oil painting, which represents spring but is painted with green and yellow spots, was shouted to 2,000 yuan, and the tycoons and tycoons who were silent for the whole scene seemed to have recovered from hibernation, and money was really just a number at this time. In just a few minutes, the auction price of this oil painting was as high as 4,600 yuan.

There was no obvious change in emotion on Peter's face, and he was as calm and calm as ever.

Sitting in the ninth row, Durin raised his fist as he watched as fewer and fewer people were shouting, and everyone began to gasp.

"Ten thousand yuan!"

This shocking price made everyone turn their attention to the young man on the edge of the ninth row again, is he crazy?

Similar charity dinners are held frequently, sometimes almost once a month, and rarely once every two or three months. With so many activities, it is difficult for the bidding to break through 5,000, because this one misses the next one is not a year or a few years later, and it may only take more than 20 days to have the next one, so everyone maintains a very restrained state, basically recovering their hands 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 bring it down.

The donated goods provided by Peter have sold for a whopping 6,000 yuan at most, but when they are low, they are only a little over 3,000 yuan.

It's the first time in Turnaire City that he directly shouted out 10,000 yuan like this!

At this time, Peter, who had not spoken all this time, stood up, and he walked directly to the presiding stage, "May 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.

Doolin also stood up again, bowed in the same way, and replied in a loud voice, "My name is Doolin, sir." ”

Many of the people present showed a look of sudden realization, and Peter's eyebrows were slightly raised, he had also heard of this name. At this point, although many people think that Durin is crazy, but there is no recourse to his profligate move, everyone knows that moonshine is very profitable, and they have all heard of the new giants rising in Turnaire City, and most of them have shown a look of understanding.

Peter nodded vigorously and pointed at Durin, "I've heard of you!", people's eyes shifted from Dulin to the mayor, "I don't judge whether what you are doing now is right or wrong, and I don't refer to what others have to say about you, at this moment, on this occasion, I will affirm your actions." I understand, just like many people here understand that your purpose may not be simple, but you can't ignore the role of this 10,000 yuan donation for those poor families in urgent need of relief just because your purpose is not simple!"

"There will be dozens of families, hundreds of families that have been improved because of your actions now, you give them clothes to wear, you let them be able to fill their stomachs, and that's what today's charity dinner is for!", his voice gradually turned red, "that is to help those in need!"

"Mr. Doolin, on behalf of the needy families and those in need of relief in Turnaire, thank you for your generosity!"

Dulin 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 support the mayor's stinky feet, but under the mayor's words, both Durin and the mayor became sacred.

Du Lin pursed his lips and said loudly: "I found out that I have done a stupid thing, I am willing to give another ten thousand yuan for charity in Tenel City, thank you, mayor, it was you who made me understand my mistakes, thank you for teaching me, thank you!"

The corners of Heidler's mouth, which sat in the second row, twitched, and he thought he might have lost his eyes.

And the mayor on the stage finally showed a slight smile.

This kid, good!
