Cosma Empire
Chapter 128 Auction
After seeing off Frena, Du Lin just sat down, the seat was not warmed up, and Ernst sat beside him at some point, "That woman is not as simple as the surface, try not to have too much contact with her ", he handed Du Lin a cigarette, and Du Lin also took it.
Although in everyone's eyes, Doolin and Ernst should be fighting hard at this time, wishing to kill each other so as to occupy more of the bootlegging market in Tenel City, but for Ernst who took the initiative to sit next to Doolin and handed over Smoke's movements didn't feel strange at all. This is high society, and this is how the upper class elite should socialize. To put it simply, you obviously want to stab the person in front of you with a knife, but at this time and this occasion, you must treat the other person as your good friend.
Only in this way can the distorted Three Views in line with mainstream values be reflected.
Well, it's very awkward, but it's right to twist it anyway.
Du Lin took out a lighter and lit it for Ernst, and then lit it for himself. The two of them, plus Karur, were fighting to the death in Tenel City. Although they still maintained restraint and did not use force directly, the price competition has become vicious. The profits have been cut, and in the eyes of people, they are not far away from using force to see blood. But people don't know that in terms of external expansion, the three of them have already captured a dividend from the bootleg liquor market in other cities that is much higher than the profits of the local bootleg liquor market.
At the same time, this is not only to let everyone see them "fighting" with each other, but also has something to do with the fact that bootleg alcohol from other places began to flow into Tenel. The influx of bootleggers from other places is not just as simple as the reenactment of their first love. Perhaps their behavior has awakened those bootleggers who are still satisfied with operating the local market. expansion.
A large amount of bootleg wine from other places has begun to flow into Tener. In order to keep the local market, a price war is necessary. The bootleggers from other places that the three companies took turns to cut prices were caught off guard. Originally, they wanted to come in to compete for the market, but they didn't expect that the market in Tenell was already terrible. Except for a very small number of high-quality moonshine wines that are still vying for high-end consumers, those low-end and mid-end wines have all left the market.
They can't afford it, and the cost of transportation makes their cost much higher than that of local bootleggers. Coupled with the outbreak of price wars, they are not competitive at all.
On the contrary, before the bootleggers in other cities were as closely united as they were to form a group similar to a business alliance, they were defeated in the face of foreign bootleggers with the same price or even slightly lower, but better quality . This allowed the current big three of bootleggers in Tener City to earn enough money, and even Karur, who had the least share, showed a lot of smiles on his face, and he was able to joke with the people around him.
So the superficial harmony between the two is not pretending, it is real harmony!
Du Lin glanced at the direction the girl left,
He took a puff of smoke, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Is there any interesting way to say it?"
Ernst nodded, raised his legs, and spoke carefully.
Frena is not a simple girl. She knows that the dean of the theater covets her youth and beauty, but she still tries her best to provoke two tycoons to be jealous of her and the dean. But unfortunately, she didn't get the freedom she wanted, because those two tycoons had become part of the history of Tenell City, and they committed suicide because of various unexpected bankruptcy. But this girl is still doing this, and her purpose of doing this is exactly that. She hopes that a "warrior" who can defeat the "devil king" will appear and save herself.
But she never thought about what would happen if the "Warrior" couldn't beat the "Devil King"... Yes, she would work hard to find the next Warrior.
After listening to Ernst's explanation, Du Lin couldn't help laughing. No one who can stand firm on this occasion is really simple.
Seeing that he understood, Ernst patted his arm, then got up and left. His seat is in the fourth row, not here.
After about half an hour of pleasantries, people finally returned to their seats, and the charity gala was held. The host of the party was the director of the Tener City Education Bureau, who is in charge of imperial civic education in Tener City. It is said that the new party will launch a reform and refinement of administrative agencies during the mid-term general election, and the names of some administrative agencies will also be changed. But for now, this old man with gold-rimmed glasses, snow-white hair, and a solemn face that gives off a very political air is still the director of education in this city.
He coughed lightly, and the hall immediately calmed down. The old man narrated some very old congratulatory speeches that were recognized by mainstream values. He advocated hypocritically and hoped that more people would pay attention to the education industry, and then babbled. Let me talk about the education issue of Tenell City in recent years, with the attention and support of many tycoons and celebrities, great changes have taken place. At the same time, I would like to remind all the guests that 30% of the donation will be transferred to the account of the Education Bureau as a special fund for education, so as to provide more "cheap" education and let more citizens get knowledge popularity.
Just as Du Linku was sitting in the Grand Theater to participate in this actually boring charity auction, outside the Grand Theater, the car washer who was carrying a bucket, his eyes lost focus, and his face was dazed suddenly shivered. He remembered the familiar Who's behind!
It was the young man who was so hardworking that they couldn't bear it. He could get a lot of money by washing off the dust on the car body casually. He wanted to clean the car more seriously, so they had to Work more carefully to earn similar remuneration as before. It was because this kid broke the rules here that he told Mad Dog about it, which also triggered the conflict between him and Mad Dog.
Maybe he was just working there, and the car didn't belong to him, he parked it for someone else.
The thin man explained everything he saw in this way, because there is no reason to explain it. More than three months or four months ago, a guy who needed to earn a meager income by working hard like him, was able to buy it in such a short period of time. Can afford a car. You must know that the car is worth at least 2,800 yuan, which is definitely not something their class can afford, and they have never even thought about it.
Two thousand eight hundred yuan?
How can it be!
The expression on his face changed a little. In fact, there was not much hatred between him and this kid. Apart from his bad business in those few days, there was no real conflict between the two of them. But Mad Dog said that whoever can provide information about this kid will give five yuan as a reward.
Five yuan is not a small amount. You can earn about 10 yuan for one car wash, and you can wash three to five cars a day. This is why everyone has a "perfunctory attitude" towards car washing. Because most of the time the peak time for car washing is at night, and not every car owner has a strict obsession with the appearance of the car, and sometimes there may be no business for a day. Therefore, washing the car in the shortest time to compete for more business is a skill that every car washer must master.
For him, this five yuan is half a month's income, and it is the kind of luck.
His Adam's apple involuntarily slid up and down. He knew very well what would happen if this kid was caught by a mad dog. To be honest, there was no deep hatred between them, except that they couldn't even talk about disgust in just a few days. on the antipathy.
But... that's five yuan after all.
He turned around and put the bucket and other tools under the lamppost. Other companions would watch him for him. The inseparable desire for five dollars forced him to make a decision that was contrary to his original intention.
He's going to find Mad Dog and get the five dollars.
Maybe someone will be injured or even die because of the five dollars, but it has nothing to do with him, right?
Du Lin in the Grand Theater didn't know that his brief appearance had attracted the attention of others. After sitting for half an hour, he finally ushered in the second half of the charity auction.
Most of the first half are things donated by some tycoons. These things may be worth a little money, but there is no point in snapping up these things. According to the unspoken rules of the charity auction, the things donated by these tycoons will be auctioned back at a moderate price by themselves, except for others who like it very much and will compete for it. Generally, everyone will give up after the owner of the thing asks. This is here rules of the game.
But the second half of the auction was different. Most of these donations came from celebrities in Tener City and the game rule makers in Tener City. Even if they take out a worthless item, they can often fetch a very high price. Are those rich and tycoons out of their minds? Of course not, in this way they can enhance their relationship with celebrities and officials.
The first auction item in the second half came from one of the two councilors of Tenell City. It was a potted plant that looked a bit inexplicable. It didn't have any name or anything, but it was nothing. As soon as the first quotation came out, it had surpassed the final hammer price of all previous donations.
"Three hundred yuan!" The young staff member of the Grand Theater waved the hammer emotionally, "This respectable gentleman is willing to pay three hundred yuan for this potted plant full of wilderness and natural atmosphere. Is there anyone else who can offer a higher price? ?”, the staff once again fully displayed a flower pot full of weeds that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. With Du Lin’s artistic accomplishment, he could not see that anything related to art was inevitable.
"Five hundred yuan!"
"Five hundred and fifty dollars!"
...
When the bidding reached 1,000 yuan, it was basically over. When the staff member who presided over the auction was about to hit the gavel, Du Lin raised his hand...
