"This is a work of art provided by the Chinese painter Liu Chengzong, called "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", which is a recreation of life in the Song Dynasty in China, known as the Encyclopedia of the Song Dynasty, with a starting price of $4,500 Canadian dollars......" said White Glove in a passionate voice.

His voice fell, and Qin Shiou raised the brochure in his hand, "4,600 Canadian dollars." ”

Hamlet thought for a moment and said, "The Song Dynasty is a dynasty that is very old, isn't it?" Is this painting a fake? ”

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "Of course it's a fake, the real painting of this painting is incomplete, if it's genuine, how can it be more than 4,500 Canadian dollars, 45 million Canadian dollars!" That's our national treasure! ”

He wants to take down this painting, the villa lacks decorations, only some hideous fossils, the Qingming Shanghe picture is big and beautiful enough, and it is good to hang it as an ornament.

Moreover, this painting was obviously copied by this compatriot named Liu Chengzong, although it is a fake, but it is not the kind of thing made by the factory, and it still has a certain artistic value.

Most of the people present are well-off families, and they are here to offer love, and by the way, see if they can touch something they like.

Chinese antiques and works of art have always been the guiding point of the collecting world, and there is no doubt that many people are interested in this extra-long painting.

As a result, the raised arms rose one after another, and the price rose all the way, from 4,500 yuan to 8,000 yuan, setting the current price record.

Qin Shiou insisted on raising his hand, showing his determination to win the painting, and when the price reached 8,000 yuan, not many people were still competing with him, and most of them shook their heads and gave up the painting.

At last. The price rose to 9,200 yuan, and Qin Shiou directly increased it to 10,000 yuan. One of the remaining contenders shrugged and gave up the bid, nodding to him in the air. Congratulations to him for taking down the painting.

The white glove hit the table with the mallet in his hand, OK, 10,000 yuan was sold.

People on the left and right shook hands with Qin Shiou, and this time it was not to celebrate him, but to thank him for his contribution to charity.

After the auction of this "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" ended, the auction was suspended and everyone rested.

Hamlet patted Qin Shiou on the shoulder and motioned for him to come with him, and found a small prayer room, in which only two people sit. Then the mayor asked straight to the point, "Do you remember the promise I made to you before the mayoral election?" ”

Of course Qin Shiou remembered, he said with a smile: "Let Farewell Island become my private island?" ”

Hamlet corrects: "Not to be, but to be like." ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders to show that he understood, and said, "Of course I remember, and then what can you do?" Sell me the right to use it? ”

Hamlet smiled and said, "You've lived on the island long enough, and you should know enough about the island, right?" ”

"Actually, Farewell Island is a small world independent of the land. Residents only care about their own lives, and they don't care about the political, military, and economic affairs of the country or even at the provincial and municipal levels. ”

"I'm the mayor of the town, and I feel this qiē more clearly, when I'm on the island. I felt that the island belonged to me, so I worked so hard to develop and build her. ”

"If you want to own this island, Qin. I'll give you a Jianyì, you become the mayor of the town first. And then slowly invest in all the businesses on the island - as far as I know, you're already doing that, aren't you? In this way, in the end, when the power and economy of the island belong to you. Wouldn't that be the equivalent of the island being yours? ”

"Do you want to be mayor of the town? This requires popular elections, and I have the right to nominate them. I believe that if I nominate you to be the mayor, then you will be the mayor! ”

After Hamley finished speaking, Qin Shiou's spirit was concentrated, and he looked at Hamlet suspiciously: "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course, I'm fulfilling my promise to my biggest financial supporter, and I have to say a word seriously!"

Qin Shiou rubbed his hands, looked directly at Hamlet and said, "Why do I have a feeling that we are preparing to seek power and usurp government for wolves?" ”

"Did you watch Mission: Impossible, House of Cards, White House or anything like that last night? What the hell, Qin, we are making suggestions for the development of the farewell town, what are we talking about seeking power and usurping the government! Hamlet looked angry.

In fact, Hamlet's idea really moved Qin Shiou!

He has no interest in the position of mayor of Farewell Town, but if he can control the power of this town, and then infiltrate the economy, Farewell Island can really become his private garden.

Of course, how should the people in the town live, they can make better money, because Qin Shiou's economic penetration is not a simple acquisition and squeezing, but a joint venture!

Just like he and Hughes Jr. set up a grocery store, and he and Sagro set up a gun shop, most of the people in the town don't have much money, so he can invest in the partnership to expand the business.

After a quick moment in his heart, Qin Shiou said, "I'm interested, William, but am I qualified to run for mayor of the town?" ”

Hamlet raised his index finger and said: "As long as it takes one year, Newfoundland's political environment is the most relaxed, as long as you have immigrated for one year, you can run for mayor." ”

"Then let's talk about it in detail after the auction." Qin Shiou said expectantly.

The temptation of power is great, Qin Shiou is not obsessed with power, but he has a strong sense of small farmers, which is related to his family, the children of Chinese peasant families, all hope to have a piece of land where they can be their own masters.

In the final analysis, Qin Shiou has no sense of security, he is worried that he will say goodbye to the island in the future and come to a town mayor who does not deal with him, then it will be troublesome, he has invested too many resources in the fishing ground, and he must ensure the full ownership of the fishing ground.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, Qin Shiou returned to the church, and he still fought to raise the cards in the later auction, gave a good price, and got a bunch of things that were estimated to be unnecessary.

The last auction item, called 'Seven Days of Mystery', took out seven exquisite black pearls brought by Qin Shiou with white gloves, first boasted with various beautiful words, and then introduced the donor, Qin Shiou.

Seven black pearls were photographed from all angles, and now they are played on the background curtain of the church, and on the clear photos, the black pearls appear more pure and dark, with a faint luster, and there is indeed a hint of mystery when they appear in the church at this time.

Qin Shiou stood up to greet him, thunderous applause rang out at the scene, and said with white gloves: "This amazing fisherman, he has held up half of the auction alone, God bless him, God bless him!" Every good person will follow his example! ”

After enough foreplay, the final auction began, and the value of the seven black pearls was the largest in the auction, and the price was also the highest, with a starting price of 100,000 Canadian dollars! A one-time increase is no longer one hundred or two hundred, but a thousand! (To be continued......)
