Blackstone Code

"Have you found anything new in the past few days?" A middle-aged man wearing an old short-sleeved shirt with holes stood in front of Wood, and he asked in a low voice while shaking Wood's hand.

Wood shook his head, he winked, and the officer immediately saw Lynch standing outside the crowd, and Ferrara next to him.

Many ordinary people may not be familiar with Ferrara, but Wood's chief is very familiar with him. He knows almost everyone in the city who needs his attention, and naturally he also knows Ferrara, the mayor's aide.

Lynch got in touch with the mayor, which made Wood's chief feel a little troublesome. Before the higher-level administrative agency took action, the investigation of Lynch might be involved in some legal protections. bill.

In order to ensure that the ruler will not be subject to corruption and political strife during his administration, which will have a bad impact on the region, the relevant personnel will generally not be investigated during the ruler's term of office.

If the mayor of Sabine City thinks that the investigation of Lynch is against him, it is possible that the investigation against Lynch will be temporarily suspended, and the investigation can only be restarted after the term of office of the mayor of Sabine City ends.

Wood's chief was a little nervous. If they could get Lynch's criminal evidence before Lynch had substantive contact with the mayor, then they could charge Lynch first, and the mayor would naturally avoid contacting the mayor. contact with criminals.

But there is a prerequisite for all of this, they must have substantive and definite evidence, otherwise the court will not approve their next actions.

Wood shook his head, his officer's expression was a little dignified, and then he sat in Wood's "camp" under Wood's leadership.

Wood used lake blue, a color he liked so much that all of his hundred seat chairs had lake blue dust jackets.

One after another, some new faces sat in his camp holding his leaflets. Many of these people were active police detectives. The purpose of their coming here was to assist Wood and let him Successfully scored to Lynch's side.

Originally, Wood's chief just wanted to make up the numbers so that Wood can complete the task smoothly, but judging from the current situation, time is very tight.

They must let Wood get Lynch's approval as soon as possible, and the best way is to make him seem to be the one who can help Lynch succeed.

As time went by, more and more people came to the venue, and Lynch had already made corresponding preparations. He prepared 2,000 seats, arranged in a circle around the venue of the conference, so as to ensure that every People on one side can see the merchandise on display and let the moderator hear their bids.

Those people brought by Ferrara also joined in the work of maintaining order. The reporter will videotape the whole process, and it will be broadcast on the local video news tomorrow night at the latest, so there must be some official personnel on the scene.

In addition to these people, the security guards in the warehouse area, and even some blue vests spontaneously helped Lynch maintain order, while staying here to watch the excitement.

In this increasingly depressed society, people need something new to stimulate their numb nerves.

At 2:15, about 3,000 people came to the scene. Those who didn’t have a seat just found a place to stand. Even the rescue team came to prevent sudden accidents or dangers. In short, everyone was very happy. Looking forward, and very curious.

"It's started..." Following Lynch's words, the host and his assistants came onto the stage one after another. At the same time, a large number of products were delivered to the stage. The noisy venue became quieter, although there were still people. There is low-pitched communication, but generally speaking, it doesn't feel noisy anymore.

"I'm very happy to be able to do this on such a day..." Lynch invited the host from the state capital for 600 yuan, 600 yuan for four hours, and Lynch had to pay another 120 yuan Money travel expenses and a day's accommodation.

There is no formal auction house in Sabine City, and there is no professional auctioneer. A good auctioneer can effectively stimulate the atmosphere of the scene, create some small conflicts, and frequently create the highest transaction prices in history.

In Baylor Federation and even the entire world, some very famous auctioneers can even get a 3% commission of the transaction price as their bonus!

He quickly introduced the process of the auction. The part that has something to do with the participants in the auction is probably raising their hands. No number plate is required, and it is not so formal and serious. Everything looks like a familiar second-hand commodity. Fairs—in fact, the top auctions are also auctions for second-hand goods, but the prices of the goods handed in at that place are higher.

The process of the entire transaction auction can be divided into three stages. The first stage is the buyout price link. There is no distinction between raising the price and lowering the price. The host will quote the price of a commodity, and then the person who wants to buy it Just a show of hands.

There are four additional employees on the display stand in the center. They will have a small button in their hands. When they see someone raise their hand, they will press the button. The other three can no longer trigger the button's effect. Acknowledge the first person to raise their hand.

Most of the products sold at this stage are very "sturdy" ones, which are indispensable in life, such as very practical family ovens, six-burner cooking stations, etc., which are used by every household There are needs.

The transaction volume and price of this kind of commodity in the second-hand market are very stable, and it can be easily sold without raising or lowering the price.

After the first stage is over, it will enter the second stage, which is the real auction. In order to let people feel the atmosphere, the starting price of each item is one yuan.

Yes, no matter how much this product sells in the store, the starting price here is one yuan, and how much you can bid depends on everyone's needs.

Most of these products are flashy. If you set a price for them like the first category, these products will stay in the warehouse most of the time. It is better to let customers compete, and maybe they can be sold instead. Make a good price.

As for the third stage...

The host said that it would be an unprecedented surprise and even change some auction rules in the whole world!

As a surprise, he did not choose to reveal it for the time being, and started directly from the first category of products.

The first product was displayed by the staff, and the host introduced it skillfully, or boasted, a built-in oven, the kind that can be installed in a cabinet or embedded in the wall.

This kind of oven that can be hidden has been very popular in recent years. Firstly, it is very beautiful, and secondly, it can save some space. It is suitable for families whose kitchen area is small but needs a relatively small oven. , is a good choice.

The price of such a brand new oven in the store is about 199 yuan, but today at the venue, it only costs 79 yuan!

The auctioneer's words were very provocative. About ten seconds after he finished speaking, a light on the stage suddenly lit up, and then people saw people from other camps raise their hands.

The first suburban goods appeared so quickly, people either regretted it or looked at the guy who raised his hand curiously, and an inexplicable sense of participation began to emerge slowly.

"Congratulations to this gentleman, I bought an almost brand new oven for only 79 yuan. If I were not the host, I would not give you such a chance!" He smiled and pointed to the successful auctioneer or, "Let's congratulate this gentleman..."

At the same time, some staff members began to settle, cash or checks are acceptable, in addition to these, they will also ask the other party to leave an address for door-to-door delivery.

It seems that the door-to-door delivery has cost Lynch an extra expense, but this small expense can firmly hold these people in his hands.

"Seventy-nine dollars, it looks like a free gift..." Ferrara sighed in a low voice, and he turned his head to look at Lynch, "How much did you lose?"

"Loss?" Lynch looked at him with a funny look, "I made at least ten yuan from this thing."

Wood glanced at the officer who was taking out the money. He had a...unexplainable feeling in his chest, because he made money, and he made about four dollars.

For the first time, he felt the feeling that the "study committee" Richard said-no need to do anything, just lie down and make money!
