The two of them excitedly returned home, and Shania clamored to watch television. As a nanny, Shania's request had to be fulfilled as soon as possible. Tang En obediently turned on the television. Before the image appeared, he heard Lineker's familiar voice. "I think the audience watching our program today must have been anticipating it for a long time!"
The famous gentleman in English football raised his voice, as if he was not broadcasting a football program, but a live commentary of a match.
Following that, Tang En heard a whistle. Alan Hansen excitedly replied, "That's right! We've been anticipating it for a long time! "
The image finally appeared. Lineker was still the same, but Alan Hansen was a little more exaggerated. He held a small red flag in his hand and waved it around. Mark Lawrenson sat between the two of them with his head lowered. In front of him was a brand new electric razor that had not even been opened.
Seeing this scene, Tang En ignored Shania's request to watch the cartoon. His eyes were firmly fixed on the screen as he chuckled. Alan Hansen was right. I've also been anticipating it for a long time!
Shania heard Tang En's naughty laugh from behind, and her curiosity was piqued. She squeezed forward, intending to see what made Uncle Tony so happy.
On the television screen, Lineker pointed at the razor on the table and smirked. "When it came to choosing between an electric or manual razor, we drew lots, and Mark was lucky enough to pick the more convenient and faster electric razor. Although we deeply regret this, we have no choice but to accept this result. Just like how once a match is over, no matter what doubts there are, the score cannot be changed. So, Mark, I want to say … After today's program, please remember to buy a lottery ticket. You're too lucky! Come, please give the razor a close-up. Today, it's the star. "
The camera obediently zoomed in, giving the electric razor a close-up for 30 seconds. From various angles, the appearance of the razor was shown. It was like a direct shopping advertisement on television … so clear that even the brand could be seen clearly. At the same time, a banner advertisement appeared at the bottom of the screen: Gillette — A Man's Choice!
Seeing this, Tang En could no longer hold it in. He threw his head back and laughed.
Lineker and Alan Hansen laughed along with him, as well as all the Nottingham Forest fans and countless viewers who were waiting in front of the television at this very moment.
"Thank you to Gillette for providing a special sponsor for this event. This razor specially provided by them will be auctioned off at the end of the show. The audience can call 09011 _ 11 _ 44 _ 00 or send a text message to bid. For so many years, in the later stages of his career, Mark Hansen has appeared in front of us with this big beard … "The image very timely showed Mark Hansen's appearance when he played for Liverpool, the big beard above his lips was quite eye-catching. "I think the audience must be tired of it, right? Let's interview Lawrenson's Liverpool teammate, Alan Hansen. What did he say? "
The camera turned to Hansen, who answered the question seriously, "Yes, that's right … Because there are many bearded men in the team, such as Souness … We often get mixed up. When you see a bearded man walking towards you from afar, and you wave to say hello: 'Hey, Mark! How was your evening? ' Do you know how awkward it was when you found out that the person was Graeme Souness? "
Lineker was already lying on the table laughing. One of the main leads, Mark Lawrenson, sat between them with a dry laugh. Tang En believed that he must be sitting on pins and needles, but as the victor, he felt great watching this scene.
Shania did not understand why Tang En would be so interested in a man's beard, so Tang En told her about the bet between him and Lawrenson in the media. Shania was also very excited after hearing the story. She called out, "Uncle Tony, you're so bad," while looking forward to Lawrenson personally shaving his beard.
After the two hosts finished joking with Lawrenson, Lineker magically took out a pair of white gloves and put them on. Then, he solemnly opened the razor's seal. Lawrenson, who was at the side, had long been "unafraid of death," quietly waiting for his own ending.
When the razor was opened, Lineker installed a battery on it, pushed the switch, and the television camera did another close-up.
"Please take note, this is a genuine Geely electric razor. The blade is smooth and sharp, and it's also safe. It's designed to fit the ergonomics … This is definitely not a prop from a movie. You can buy it in any store. But this is the only one that shaved off Mr. Mark Lawrenson's beard. It's extremely valuable! What are you waiting for? What are you hesitating for? Make a call immediately to order … Uh, auction it! "
With that, Lineker handed the razor to Lawrenson.
Everyone in front of the television focused their attention. They saw that Lawrenson seemed to hesitate for a moment after receiving the razor. Then, he extended the razor to the top of his lips. Lineker, who was at the side, thoughtfully raised a mirror for him, while Alan Hansen waved the flag to cheer him on.
The scene was extremely comical. Shania was rolling on the sofa in laughter. Although Tang En was laughing very loudly, his eyes never left the television screen.
When the razor touched Lawrenson's beard, the famous blind Italian singer Andrea Bocelli and the famous soprano Sarah Brightman's duet of the classic song "Time to Say Goodbye" slowly played from the television, pushing the atmosphere to a climax! This was a song with a classical style. With the beautiful and heavenly voices of two world-class singers, coupled with Mark Lawrenson's serious and solemn expression, it actually gave people a sense of how serious and solemn it was, but it did not fit the theme.
At that moment, everyone in front of the television watching this episode of "Match of the Day" laughed so hard that they were rocking back and forth. Of course, that included Tang En and Shania.
Tang En laughed so hard that tears came out. He wiped his eyes and said, "I like this song. From now on … Haha!"
At the same time, the bottom of the screen also displayed the bidding price of the audience. From the initial five pounds, it had now exceeded three digits. The latest bid was 141 pounds. It was already very exaggerated to offer such a price for an electric razor, so the number was fixed for a long time without changing.
Shania realized this and then gave Tang En a playful suggestion. "Why don't you buy it for yourself as a souvenir? Uncle Tony? "
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's a good idea!" He took out his phone and dialed the hotline number. After following the voice prompt, the system informed him to enter the bidding price.
Tang En hesitated for a moment, then decisively entered: 3,000 pounds!
It was almost unthinkable to ask for three thousand pounds for a razor! But Tang En felt it was worth it. It was like the spoils of war he obtained after defeating his opponent. It could not be bought with any amount of money. What if he bid too low and someone else exceeded it? He also did not know if he could bid repeatedly. What if to prevent malicious bidding, the system limited each person to only one bid?
He might as well offer a high price and let others back out. Moreover, as long as he liked it, he did not care how much he spent. Money could not buy his happiness!
Two minutes later, the latest bid appeared on the television screen — 3,000 pounds!
The bidding price appeared at the bottom of the screen every ten minutes. Ever since the figure of 3,000 pounds appeared, it was the same every time it flashed. It did not change even once until the end of the show.
When Lawrenson kept his promise and shaved his beard, Lineker and Alan Hansen praised his new look from the beginning of the show until the end. Honestly speaking, Tang En also felt that the shaved Lawrenson looked more spirited and stylish.
Less than ten minutes after "Match of the Day" ended, Tang En received a call from the production team to confirm his bidding information. At the same time, they obtained his contact information and address and then sent him the razor after he paid.
On the other side, Lineker and the other two sat in the studio after the show. They were packing up and chatting.
"Mark, I'm not joking. I'm being serious — you really look much more handsome after shaving off your beard!" Lineker said with a smile.
Lawrenson looked at himself in the mirror and raised his eyebrows. "Maybe."
Alan Hansen pressed his earphones to listen to something. Then he took them off and said to his two partners, "Latest news, we've set the highest viewership record for the five channels at the same time slot. Well done, Mark! "
Everyone laughed.
"There's another news … Do you know who won the bid for the razor in the end?"
Lineker shrugged. "It can't be Tony Twain, can it?"
Hansen nodded. "Gary, you guessed it right. It's him! Our editor just contacted the winner of the auction and got his contact information and name: Tony Twain, 13 Branford Garden Street, Wilford District, Nottingham, Central Midlands County. 3,000 pounds. Payment confirmed. "
Lineker and Lawrenson looked at each other in surprise.
Hansen was very satisfied with their performance. He smiled and said, "Looks like … we'll have more fun in the English Premier League next season."
