It was another Saturday, and Lynch was sitting on a row of empty seats. There were many reporters at the bottom, and there were many more reporters than last time.
Revitalizing the second-hand goods market and reducing unnecessary waste in the process of consumption had become a new policy promoted by the mayor. This also meant that Lynch's second-hand goods auction would be promoted to the entire state in a semi-official manner.
If they could do well in the state, the Progressive Party's territory and even the entire Federation would begin to promote this new system of goods.
Publicity was the first step. Last week, the mayor, including Ferrar, did not think that Lynch could create any miracles. They just wanted to use Lynch to gather so many people to do positive publicity about the mayor.
But they did not expect the effect to be so good. In addition, Lynch was willing to cooperate with the mayor's actions and give all the "credit" to the mayor, which led to so many reporters coming this time.
At the same time, this was also a test. If this auction fell behind the previous one in the suburbs, then Lynch's plan to trade second-hand goods would have to be temporarily postponed.
A large number of reporters were excitedly discussing and taking pictures. Perhaps this was the first time they received extra money on a mission.
The money was not much, 50 yuan per person in cash plus some inconspicuous small gifts such as a pen, a notebook, and an unopened roll of film. It added up to less than 80 yuan, but it was enough to make them very satisfied.
At this time, it was really easy to feed the reporters. This little thing could change their standpoint. In the future … perhaps even 800 yuan would not be enough to make them take a second look.
The auction was held on time. This time, the stadium was used to increase the number of seats. At the same time, Lynch made another decision, and that was that people who did not have an invitation could not enter.
This was not because he wanted to reject the wealth, but because he wanted to formalize it.
From the beginning of the first stage, the scene was very lively. Perhaps after the explosion last time, people became very interested in trading second-hand goods. In some related reports, some people bought some brand-new goods at a 40% discount, which was even more amazing.
Among the people around, there were some who didn't want to buy anything, but just wanted to take a look. However, these people couldn't escape the fate of having to pay in the end.
Lynch calmly watched the entire process, while Ferral nervously sat to the side, constantly asking Lynch about the situation. This auction would determine the direction of this matter.
Compared to Lynch, who was directly involved in the case, Ferrar was a little less calm.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
This was the first time Lynch had tried to calm him down. Feral could only smile bitterly and be quiet for a while, just a while.
After a while, he couldn't help but ask again. He was very concerned about Lynch. He was concerned about whether Lynch could grow up healthily, whether Lynch could become a towering tree, and whether Lynch could be of help to him.
Based on last week's experience, the auction that was supposed to start at 2 o 'clock was brought forward by more than an hour, starting at 1 o' clock. However, it still exceeded their expectations and only ended at 7 o 'clock.
The staff began to enter the venue to clean up the mess, while the young men anxiously sat at the side, waiting for their fate to be announced. Vivian and her subordinates were quickly calculating.
At around 7: 30, the final result came out. 480,000 yuan. Lynch was too lazy to look at the small change.
The total was less than 10,000 yuan lower than last week. It seemed like a good result, but in fact, it could only be said to be barely passable because the scale of this auction was bigger. Of course, the reason why it wasn't bad was because there was no villa auction this time, so it lacked some explosive points.
Overall, it was still satisfactory.
Vivian then gave Lynch another list. After he finished reading it, he put it in his pocket, not intending to show it to anyone else.
This list recorded how much money he had earned tonight — a little more than 110,000 yuan.
20,000 of it came from the transactions at the auction, and the rest came from the guaranteed profits and profit sharing. Overall, he was quite satisfied, but he couldn't show this list to anyone else.
Next was the time to split the profits. This was also the moment that the young men were looking forward to the most.
"Richard …" Lynch sat behind the table piled with cash. He called out Richard's name, and the latter immediately stood up with a smile on his face.
Lynch looked at the young man and nodded. "This time you won first place. You can get … 4,100 yuan."
He counted four thousand one hundred dollars from the table and thrust it into Richard's arms.
Richard couldn't stop smiling. Behind him, as well as standing in other places, the young men's eyes were red.
There was no doubt that Richard was a b * tch, a shameless person, a scoundrel, and a despicable villain!
Lin Qi had just found out that he had set his sights on those lonely old men, but it had to be said that his foresight was the best out of everyone here. What those lonely old men needed the most was communication, even if they had to pay for this communication.
He keenly grasped the method of making people pay and shamelessly made it happen. This was one of the reasons why he was able to win first place this time.
Another reason was that he had "allocated" 100 seats from the newsboys to his subordinates. For this, he gave the newsboys an extra sum of money.
As for why the newsboys sold these seats, it was actually under Lynch's instructions.
Lynch's purpose was not to let people know that they could earn money by working here. Instead, he wanted to create a concept that the auction seat itself was a kind of value. It represented wealth, and it was even a kind of wealth that could be traded.
In the end, he didn't even have to earn profits from the goods. Just the auction seats that were distributed every cycle could bring him an amazing amount of wealth!
After telling Richard to scram to the side, Lynch looked at Wood. "Wood, you're second. Three thousand seven hundred and ninety-five dollars …" He counted the money and handed it over.
Wood was a little nervous but also a little excited. He put the money into the bag that he had prepared with him and thanked Lynch, the boss. Then, he happily returned to his camp.
Next, Lynch had been distributing money to these people until the last unlucky guy took his share.
In fact, he couldn't be considered an unlucky guy. The last guy was a little old and looked very serious. He didn't seem to be good at livening up the atmosphere. He wasn't as lucky as Wood.
Therefore, he only made a profit of less than 300 yuan. He paid 500 yuan for the seat fee. He lost money.
He wasn't the only one who lost money. Others were also losing money. To put it simply, the profit of about 60,000 yuan was divided among 50 people. The head took a large part of the profit, and most of the rest was around the break-even line. However, the worst loss was only 200 yuan, which was a month's salary for an ordinary worker.
This was within everyone's acceptable range. At the same time, it also made everyone excited. At least Lynch proved with facts that as long as they worked hard, everyone had the opportunity to become Richard and Wood. They all had the opportunity to become a part of this legend of wealth.
Next, Lynch asked Cook to drive the boys to the hotel he had booked. In addition to buying trucks, Lynch also bought two buses for short-distance transportation in the city.
A week of intense preparation ushered in a good result. Lynch needed to relax and comfort the boys.
Carpe diem was not only the idea of a certain person, but also the common view of the whole society.
He invited the ladies to enjoy a very exquisite and sumptuous dinner in the hotel's restaurant. This time, not only Vivian and the previous girl, but also three new girls.
Lynch's branch companies in other cities were in preparation. The accounting would only be too little, not too much. And accounting was also very important.
Just like today, no matter how Lynch hid it, at least Vivian knew how much income he had. This was something that couldn't be hidden. In the future, the operation and accounting of the branch companies would be in charge of the accounting. As long as he could control the accounts of the branch companies, Lynch was not afraid of these bastards.
After dinner, the waiter came over with a luggage cart. The ladies were immediately attracted by the luggage cart.
In the luggage cart, there were five kraft paper bags. The bags were printed with a famous trademark of the Bayer Federation, "Libao". It was a luxury accessory brand. The main products were all kinds of women's accessories, and bags were one of them.
Lin Qi gave each of them a bag. Other than a new season bag with different designs, there was also a small surprise. It was a small pendant that was worth one to two hundred dollars.
When these girls were faced with tens of thousands of money, if they were not given some benefits, they would gradually lose their psychological balance.
This situation was very common. Most people in society would feel unbalanced when they saw people like Richard and his income, and so would the accountants.
In order to reduce the possibility of them being bribed, Lynch was not stingy with this small amount of money. Every girl who received a bag was very surprised. There were even two young girls who ran over to Lynch and kissed him on the face to express their gratitude and surprise.
Indeed, just the bag and the small pendant cost more than three thousand yuan. It was rare to see such a generous boss these days. People did not realize that appropriate extra expenses could unexpectedly reduce their funds.
Good wine, good food, and a beautiful face. Perhaps they wanted to take advantage of Lynch, the other two girls also kissed Lynch under the instigation of the first two girls.
Lynch could only smile helplessly as he sat on the chair and was "humiliated" by the girls. His face was full of pain. Soon, the four girls who had kissed Lynch began to kick up a fuss.
Alcohol was really a terrible thing. Under their incitement, Vivian finally kissed Lynch on the face, just a small one.
Lynch joked that he did not plan to wash his face for a week so that the girls' lips would stay for a while. This made the girls even more active. There were not many bosses like this.
After a while, Lynch arranged for the hotel staff to send them up to rest. These girls were very young, and youth meant that they did not know how to control themselves. They drank a lot. Lynch was worried that they would go home alone, so he booked a room in the hotel.
As for him, he found a driver to drive his car and send Vivian home.
This time, as before, he did not let the driver drive the car in. He just parked the car outside the gate of the community.
