The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2131

[2095 scrambling to bid]

Dave Clark was a little embarrassed. He didn’t know whether he should stand up or continue to sit. It was a really, really weird feeling.

Seeing Beatrice standing up and applauding stubbornly and firmly, he tried to persuade Beatrice to sit down, because all eyes were on her, which was really rude; but he was a little hesitant because Beatrice Triss, as a princess, obviously has more say in social etiquette.

So what should he do?

Fortunately, Dave’s torture didn’t last long. After Beatrice came back to her senses, her cheeks were a little hot. She was still more reserved and reserved. Sitting down, his eyes remained bright and excited at Renly.

Beatrice was just one of the dozens of guests standing up at the scene, but Renly still observed every smiling face at a glance, and the corners of his mouth also rose, “Oh, yes, As a reminder, this score is the original original creation. I am not sure how much I can estimate it now. Maybe a hundred years later, when I pass away, the value may be higher. As for now, I can’t sell myself. I feel that I should be able to get a good price on eBay, just for reference.” The

group laughed.

I have to admit that Renly’s introduction was both self-deprecating and ridiculing, which made all the guests truly feel the warmth and moving hidden in it. The value of this guitar and score is naturally rising – what’s more, even without this According to the introduction, the name “Renly-Hall” is enough.

After the story was introduced, Renly turned to Howard, politely made an invitation, and returned the initiative to the auctioneer.

Howard gestured slightly towards Renly’s jaw, and then asked, “Do you need to play a section live?”

“Oh, no, no, I’m not Mozart. Even if I play live, this guitar will not be transformed into a famous string, so, I guess, let’s stop there.” The original guest also said: There is some vague expectation – at the private party of the Earl of Oxford last year, Renly performed “This Is Me”, can we watch Renly’s performance live today?

But I didn’t expect that Renly refused in such a way, which made people laugh.

Howard did not continue to force, and made an invitation, “Then please take a seat with Your Excellency Renly, and our auction can begin.”

After Renly and Howard gestured to each other face-to-face, Renly returned to himself. s position.

“Next, today’s final large-scale work, accompanied by Lord Renly-Hall for five years,

And created countless classic guitars, as well as the original score of the song ‘The Beast’.

Perhaps, this guitar is not a masterpiece, but it can accompany the passage of time and become a unique instrument.

Before

Howard’s official inscription was finished, some signs could already be seen on the scene, even if it was just to cheer people up, it was very lively.

Such a scene is rare in a charity auction of the upper class, at least Howard has never seen it so far.

“Then let the auction begin now, a thousand pounds reserve, a thousand pounds more at a time.

”

Crash!

A sign was held high in the audience, easily creating the most turbulent upsurge in the auction so far, and Howard’s quotation also seemed very busy.

To be precise, there was no time to stop! There

were more than three Two-thirds of the guests all held up their signs. Even if Howard’s offer rose at full speed in a rocket manner, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the guests at all, and even without the help of Matthew, Andre and others to raise the price, the price had already climbed quickly to An outrageous position.

From £1,000 to £10,000 to £100,000, it has surpassed the auction price of all items in the third phase of the auction in the blink of an eye, and has continued to exceed £200,000 in one go. In less than 20 seconds after the auction started, the quotations for guitars and scores had already surpassed the previous “window” and became the second most expensive item in today’s auction, second only to Renly’s snuff bottle.

For twenty seconds, Howard’s call did not stop, and the speed of the continuous climb only increased, even a little terrifying.

Renly was a little surprised-sincerely, if this is the Don Quixote meeting , then the auction enthusiasm of the guests is understandable; but this is a charity auction for the elites of the upper class in London. As an actor, Renly has always been the role that was excluded. To be regarded as a “player”, like a clown in a circus, attracting attention, that’s all.

Even the Halls are no exception.

If his own father and mother couldn’t stand behind him and show unconditional support, how could he ask for affirmation and support from strangers he had never met?

How could he blame those joking onlookers?

But now?

Those escalating quotes numbers, whatever the reason, are proving Renly’s existence in a down-to-earth fashion.

After the surprise, a touch of emotion stirred in his chest.

In fact, after breaking through 50,000 pounds, Howard had to raise the price increase to 10,000 pounds, but there was still no sign of slowing down the quotation speed; then, after breaking through 200,000 pounds, Howard further raised the price increase to 2 10,000 pounds, and the quotation figures are still taking off.

From 200,000 pounds to 500,000 pounds, Howard still couldn’t see the speed of the price slowdown, so he simply raised the price increase to 50,000 pounds, followed by three more quotations to 650,000 pounds After the pound, this finally calmed down the boiling atmosphere of the audience a little.

To be precise, it only took thirty seconds to go from £1,000 to £650,000, and “Renly Hall’s Guitar and Sheet Music” has reached an incredible height, despite the speed of the quotation. Slowed down, but the bubbling temperature at the scene was still eye-catching.

The guests present were slightly surprised: Has Renly Hall’s influence in London’s high society been so crazy?

This is even to the point of insanity. Are the bidders sure they know what they are doing?

Are you sure that your offer has reached this level?

But at this moment, another offer was made, “Seven hundred thousand.” The

voice was vaguely familiar, Renly turned his head to follow the voice, and then saw Edith Hall standing behind him at a glance, caught off guard. , the nose is slightly sour.

Two months ago, Edith went to the front line in Turkey to report on the battlefield. After that, she could get some news intermittently to confirm Edith’s safety; but more often, Edith was still diving, It’s not a paradise after all.

In the time since Renly returned to London, she had not heard from Edith, except that she was still working hard ahead.

Unexpectedly, Edith actually appeared at today’s auction site – she obviously did not come for charity, but to help Renly support and show her position to the Hall couple; then, she also bid easily , expressed his direct support to Renly.

A smile appeared on the corner of Renly’s mouth, and he said, “Bankrupt.”

Seven hundred thousand pounds, Edith’s savings must not be that much, Renly is reminding her to be careful of bankruptcy.

Edith directly responded with a middle finger, simple and rude but straightforward, just like her style.

Just when Renly and Edith exchanged glances, the situation on the scene changed again. Alexander raised his sign-this was the first time he had participated in the bidding since today’s auction, which was of great significance.

“Seventy-five thousand.”

Alexander’s actions immediately attracted the attention of the audience, and people couldn’t help but speculate: the relationship between Alexander and Renly should be re-evaluated.

But before looking at the line of sight and pausing, the price was refreshed again, “800,000.” It was Eaton who raised the sign this time.

Andre immediately looked at Eaton with a shocked face, “Are you crazy?”

Eaton looked at Renly with a smile on his face, and replied, “It’s worth it.” Andre was choked for a moment, but he couldn’t refute.

At this time, Dave Clark was very, very entangled: because Beatrice wanted to compete for this auction from the heart, she had made six bids before, and the highest bid had reached 200,000 pounds; According to her husband’s knowledge, this should be all Beatrice’s savings, but she is willing to spend it all in order to be able to auction Renly’s “guitar and sheet music”, its significance is evident.

But Beatrice was not able to take it after all, and now the number has climbed to 800,000, which is really too high for Beatrice, she would never be able to spend such a large sum of money, In order to auction a guitar and a sheet music, it is impossible for the royal family –

because the expenses of the British royal family are taxpayers’ taxes.

The royal family also has its own shackles, and they are the ones who really have no way to do whatever they want.

Everything has a price.

So, should Dave actually help Beatrice make this wish come true?

If he gives up, then Dave will also lose the opportunity to show himself, not only in front of Beatrice, but also in front of the upper class – in today’s charity auction, he still has no chance to show himself, He had auctioned off an item before, but it didn’t make any waves. When the auction ended, he was still a nobody.

If he insists, even though Dave can please Beatrice, this is Renly’s item. He actually buys Renly’s item to please Beatrice?

Whatever he thinks, he responds, he really doesn’t want to do it.

So what should he do?
