Chapter 14: the interview

Every profession has a different mission.

The police are for law and order, and the teachers are for imparting knowledge.

For a commercial auction house, making money is naturally the main purpose. They sell things for others, and taking commissions is the only way to make money. So, how can more people give their treasures to them for auction?

Fame, the greater the reputation, the more customers will trust, and the more customers trust, the more people will come to sell things and come to buy things. This is the circle of conscience. And once it falls into a vicious circle, it is naturally not far from bankruptcy.

Although Li Daniu only has the wisdom of ordinary people, he can still figure out these normal principles, so he, who should be anxious, is not in a hurry.

Representatives of several on-site auction houses ran out to communicate with the person in charge of their own companies for a while, and then came back and offered their own conditions.

However, shopping malls are like battlefields. Although everyone knows it in their hearts, no one is willing to speak first.

Seeing that the scene became awkward, Burns stood up in a timely manner and asked each representative to write down their sincerity on paper, and then collected them and handed them to Li Daniu.

"You decide." Li Daniu waved his hand quite grandly, looking for a job in his position, wanting to increase Tuvalu's national strength, and then get more benefits from the traversal system, so he can only rely on himself , is absolutely impossible, you must have a few capable men. Li Daniu, who had never been a leader before, recalled some workplace novels he had read, and decided to start with an employer.

Speaking of Prime Minister Burns, it is quite tragic. In a barren country like Tuvalu, he was able to rely on his own efforts to pass the entrance examination to a well-known foreign university. Then he was grateful for the old king's support and resolutely chose to return to China. Although he became the prime minister, the prime minister of Tuvalu is really not as good as an executive of a large company abroad.

A country with only high schools as the highest institution is facing rising sea levels caused by global warming. This kind of manpower is an irreversible sign of extinction. No matter how grateful the old king is for his support, it is impossible to stay in this country with all his heart what.

However, it now appears that His Royal Highness is still a bit bolder than the old king. At least he took out such a necklace that had been cherished by the old king for a long time, for the benefit of the country. What's more, not only did he propose to buy the land, but he was also taking real actions. Burns thought that he had been delayed for so many years, and it was not too late to spend some time with the prince. What if there was a turnaround?

Burns' trust in Li Daniu and the excitement he showed naturally made Li Daniu very satisfied. However, if Li Daniu knew Burns' inner thoughts, he would definitely say: It's not that the old king didn't show it, but that the old king didn't have it at all.

Although the country is weak, it is still the prime minister of a country. After gaining the trust of Li Daniu, Burns and the Minister of Finance analyzed it and decided to hand over the necklace to Subos Auction House.

Because the sincerity given by Subos Auction House fully conforms to the national conditions of Tuvalu.

The deposit of 200 million US dollars, as long as the contract is signed, will be sent to the account provided by Tuvalu immediately, and the commission will only be charged 5% of the auction proceeds. Compared with the public data, this ratio is already low and cannot be lowered. up.

Of course, as long as the contract is signed, Subos Auction House will take away the necklace.

For Subos Auction House, it was not only because they wanted to arrange an exhibition that they took away the necklace, but also because they did not believe that Tuvalu had the ability to protect the necklace.

It's ridiculous to say that it is an official country recognized by the United Nations, but the strongest armed force in the country is only two hundred policemen who have not received much training, and the government is not yet able to equip all these two hundred policemen with guns.

Not to mention the international mercenaries with their heads pinned to their waistbands, but the Subos Auction House's own security force, once the personnel are in place, they are capable of occupying the country within ten minutes.

Although the representatives of other auction houses also took away the necklace to protect themselves, the deposit they could pay was not as much as that offered by Su Boshi. This is also because Su Boshi, as an established auction house, is about to be overtaken by a new up-and-coming auction house, so he has to bleed heavily. Don't underestimate such a necklace. If handled properly, such a necklace can make a small auction house stand on the international stage.

Li Daniu directly agreed with Burns' choice, because it was a very simple matter, and it would not have any adverse effects on him.

When the two parties were preparing to sign the contract, the representatives of Subos Auction House had arranged for their own auction house to contact the plane and security personnel to fly directly to Tuvalu.

And representatives of several other auction houses, although they did not negotiate a deal, they all performed well in front of Li Daniu. In their opinion, Li Daniu's indifferent attitude towards this necklace probably proved that Li Daniu's hand There are even better treasures. If there is no cooperation this time, there is still a chance next time. Businessmen will never alienate the relationship between the two parties because of a failed cooperation.

After confirming the auction house, it was time for an interview.

For interviews, Li Daniu was completely inexperienced, so he could only signal those reporters who had been waiting for a long time to interview Burns first, so that he could learn a little bit later.

Burns looked a little high-spirited at the moment. In the past, they begged reporters to interview them and report on the tragic situation in their country. How can this kind of reporter go to his own country and wait to interview him now?

Since the founding of Tuvalu, there has been no news, except that when the old king shouted at the United Nations General Assembly that the whole world wanted to apologize to Tuvalu, he barely made the headlines of a tabloid. For so many years, And no one cared to learn about a country that was about to be submerged.

If Li Daniu hadn't come up with a priceless necklace, it is very likely that the people of Tuvalu have immigrated, and no reporter would be willing to travel all the way to conduct interviews when they exist in name only.

News must be eye-catching. Who would care about what happened to Tuvalu, the fourth smallest country in the world and one of the least developed countries in the world? But if there is a diamond necklace worth hundreds of millions of dollars, then these reporters believe that many people will be willing to watch it.

The interview went smoothly. Burns wanted to use Tuvalu’s difficult living conditions to add points to the necklace so that he could sell it at a higher price. The reporter not only wanted to get the news, but also just received news from Tuvalu and A red envelope from Subos Auction House. Therefore, it can be called dry wood meeting fire.

After watching the reporter's interview with Burns, Li Daniu breathed a sigh of relief. It's not difficult at all.

After adjusting his clothes, Li Daniu sat on the chair and began to be interviewed for the first time in his life.

"Dear Your Royal Highness. According to Prime Minister Burns, this necklace is the only inheritance treasure left by your father. For what reason did you decide to put this necklace up for auction and use it for the people? where?"

Sure enough, it was the reporter who took the red envelope. This question was asked, not only using a unique one, it basically solved the risk of Tuvalu being searched by others, and also improved Li Daniu's integrity many times in an instant.

"Because I have a deep love for this land." Li Daniu suppressed his inner excitement, and said very flatly: "Actually, my father and king had planned to auction this necklace long ago, but Fate is so ruthless, before he could fulfill his wish, he met..."

Acting skills, if you use them a lot, will naturally remind you that at least Li Daniu is able to properly express his sadness when he tells this kind of lie.

"We are also very saddened by what happened to His Majesty the former king, but please mourn, this country still needs you."

You grieve? How do you feel sad?

"thanks."

"Your Highness, where are you going to use the proceeds from the auction of this necklace?"

"Because of the greenhouse effect, the global climate is warming, and the sea level is rising, so our Tuvalu has reached the verge of being submerged by sea water." Li Daxin said after a pause: "There is no land to survive, and no country is willing to accept us. Citizens of the country, so we have to find our own way out. With this money, we hope to buy part of the land from other countries, UUReading Book , and use it to resettle the 11,000 people in Tuvalu who are about to homeless individual."

Although they already knew about Tuvalu's plan from Burns, these reporters still couldn't help laughing when they heard what Li Daniu said. This amount of money seems to be a lot. If it is just to buy land, in some places where the land price is cheap, it is not too difficult to buy a piece of land that can support 11,000 people. Then what? Even if everyone sleeps on the floor, you must at least have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Not to mention there are other essential infrastructures for life, water? Electricity?

These reporters already had a general understanding of Tuvalu's national conditions before they came. The national treasury only has a fund of 60 million Australian dollars, which is not enough to fill in.

"Your Highness, your idea is really great." After a compliment, the reporter asked, "So, have you ever thought about how your citizens will live on in the future if you move to a new place?" ?”

"If they can't support themselves, I will support them. As long as they are citizens of Tuvalu, no one will starve to death." When Li Daniu said this, he felt that his personality had broken through the sky.

"Um, what I said made me want to immigrate to your country." Several reporters looked at each other and smiled.

"So, Your Highness, do you have any directions for increasing the country's income?" The subtext of the reporters was, can you come up with another necklace?

"Cough..." After clearing his throat, Li Daniu said seriously, "I'm going to write a novel first."
