Chapter 37 Campaign and Auction
On March 27, the weekend was fine and the weather was fine.
After waiting for a long time, Michael, the candidate for Congress from New Jersey, came to visit the Oak Community. Li Xiaoshuai, who Li still wanted to get in touch with, was of course his full help.
Michael was wearing an extraordinarily formal dress today, with a thin gray suit and a gray tie with diagonal stripes. His face was full of kind and gentle smiles. Accompanied by Li Xiaoshuai and Bo Yang, he went door-to-door to promote himself.
Michael was talking incessantly, and Li Xiaoshuai was on the sidelines. The two seemed to be talking about cross talk. They sang back and forth, and they cooperated very well.
After the event, Michael also gave the visiting family a small gift, which of course was also from Li Xiaoshuai’s pocket. He has prepared a thousand small gifts.
It has been publicized here, and the group rushed to Jersey City non-stop, where there is a large-scale Chinese community, where Li Xiaoshuai contacted Dr. Du, who treated Grandma Anne, to respond.
Under Dr. Du’s careful conditioning, Grandma Anne’s health gradually improved, and Li Xiaoshuai’s relationship with Dr. Du gradually deepened.
In the community garden of this community, someone has set up a small high platform that Michael can go up to promote his political ideas.
I heard that there are still gifts to get, and all the Chinese families who didn’t work in the community came out. There was a large area of darkness, which made Michael feel confident.
Li Xiaoshuai said: “Michael, this is the key. Whether you succeed or not depends on your own performance. In addition, I will go down and say more good things for you, so that more people will vote for you.”
“Okay, okay.”
Michael kept shouting and promoting himself on the stage, while Li Xiaoshuai gave him good words off the stage. There were also many people around him, and he listened carefully to Li Xiaoshuai’s small meeting.
He said, brothers and sisters, this Michael and I have also worked together. This man is a veteran political family in our New Jersey. He is very rough in the officialdom, and there are related households of his family in every corner.
And this person is quite loyal, as long as you give him a little help, he will repay you.
Someone asked, can he help us with immigration?
“Of course it’s not possible to do immigration, but he has a way to help you speed up the queue.”
“Really?” Many people were interested.
Li Xiaoshuai knows that most of these people’s families have people who are still waiting in line for immigration. The speed of this queue, if it is sorted by early and normal, is very long, and some years will take several years.
Unlucky, after queuing for several years, in the end, somehow, I have to start all over again, which makes people laugh and cry.
Li Xiaoshuai also pulled his display product, Boyang, and introduced that he was originally from Yugoslavia. Because he helped Michael a little, the speed of immigration has been accelerated for several years.
“Really?” A lot of people dragged Bo Yang and asked questions. This wave went and the next wave came over, making Bo Yang so tired that his cheeks were sore.
After Li Xiaoshuai’s flickering off the field, the Chinese community has a good impression of Michael. In addition, Michael said that as long as he can be elected to the state legislature, he must take this community to heart, and he will come to see if he can.
In the end, Michael also said a Chinese sentence that Li Xiaoshuai taught him in the morning: “Nihao, thank you.” As a final thank you, the venue was even more excited.
Li Xiaoshuai also ran to the stage, holding the microphone and saying in Chinese, “Compatriots, when we elected Michael, we also asked him to act as our agent to fight for our interests. Please go to the polling station next week and vote for Michael. It’s also for your own benefit.”
Many people shouted that this is reasonable.
There were also many people who ran directly to the stage to ask Michael for a business card, and said that they would vote for Michael in next week’s vote.
He smiled happily at Michael, and said that he didn’t come for nothing today. He didn’t expect the enthusiasm of the Chinese to be so high.
Li Xiaoshuai said, you have had a hard day today, and it is estimated that you will get one or two thousand more votes, which is a lot of support.
“Yes, Li, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You won my friendship. No matter if I choose or not, you will be my best friend. The door of my family will always be open to you.”
“Thank you” Li Xiaoxiao left, and went straight to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, where an auction will be held in the ultra-luxurious banquet hall, and the shooting of his own oil painting “Paul III” will start in the afternoon.
Fortunately, this painting is the finale, and it was arranged to be the last one to play, so he had time to rush it.
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the banquet hall, when Li Xiaoshuai entered, he saw that it was full of people, and the oil painting auction had passed for a half hour.
On the rostrum, the auctioneer in formal clothes was holding a small wooden hammer in his hand, and he was preaching in cadence, while the customers under the stage were holding catalogues, or discussing in whispers, or looking at the back. ‘s lot.
Finding a corner, Li Xiaoshuai took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Elaine, who was also concerned about the matter, saying that it was not our turn yet.
After waiting for an hour, the auction was coming to an end, and the finale, “Paul III” appeared!
The auctioneer made every effort to publicize that this painting is a masterpiece by the master Titian. The work is thick and powerful, with rough lines, and the color is characterized by enthusiasm and magnificence. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
His use of colors is to reveal the objective world, and he often chooses colors that match the characters’ characters to paint portraits. This makes Titian one of the most profound masters of depicting the soul, and his colors are also meant to reflect the rich emotional world of human beings.
The auctioneer stretched his voice and said, “The last lot in this auction, Master Titian’s oil painting “Paul III”, has a starting price of 5 million US dollars, and each increase shall not be less than 100,000 US dollars.”
Li Xiaoshuai quickly sent a message to his girlfriend saying that the auction is now starting, and each time the price is increased by 100,000 US dollars.
In the short period of time he sent the message, the price of the painting has been raised to 6 million US dollars, and the venue suddenly burst into warm applause.
This applause is not a compliment worthy of the 6 million bosses, but a respect for the master.
$7 million, easily crossed.
The $8 million mark was also crossed.
After 9 million US dollars, there were many fewer bidders, and the price increase began to slow down. Li Xiaoshuai said that it seems that the 10 million mark is difficult to pass.
The final result, as expected by Li Xiaoshuai, the final transaction price was 9.75 million US dollars, and it was one step away from over 10 million.
Li Xiaoshuai sent the news to his girlfriend again, and also expressed his regret.
Elaine’s reply said that it is not bad to actually get 9 million US dollars, and many families will not be able to earn this income in their entire lives. She also said that if she is more relaxed, she will feel better.
After the mass messages were sent out, they were basically congratulations and congratulations. Only this guy Frank replied, “Boss, you have made a fortune, please give me more sanitation fees.”
“Pfft, this useless thing!”
