The carbon 14 analyzer will not be faked, this thing is an antique from the eighteenth century, so Qin Shiou knew that its price would not be low, but 1.6 million was not high, so as soon as the price came out, he raised his hand and shouted: "1.65 million." ”

Other collectors estimated that they were looking at him, and many people in the front row looked back at him, and the wealthy businessman in the United Arab Emirates who had taken "Women's Head" also waved his hand and said, "1.7 million!" ”

Qin Shiou smiled and didn't speak, he was waiting for other people's quotations, and when the final price came out, he could just pull it up and take it, saving so much trouble.

Sure enough, two more people quoted in the back, raising the price to 1.9 million, and the auctioneer shouted '1.9 million for the first time', Qin Shiou raised his hand and said loudly: "2 million!" ”

Alan Brandon, who was sitting next to him, spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture, and he smiled at Qin Shiou: "Young man, calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive, this is 2 million, you just buy a piece of rotten wood?" ”

Qin Shiou turned his head and smiled: "No way, rich and capricious!" ”

For an eighteenth-century ambergris sculpture that has not been officially studied, $2 million is already the limit price, and even the wealthy merchant in the United Arab Emirates has nothing to say, shaking his head and giving up the bid.

Two million, and the food of the sea god is in hand.

Brandon was still shaking his head, Qin Shiou felt that it was nothing, he had a hunch that this thing would surprise him.

There was nothing in the auction that interested Qin Shiou, but there was a brush painting by Master Qi Baishi, which he was very tempted by, and he also had the consciousness of buying a national treasure for the nation, but unfortunately the price was too high, and the final transaction price was 15.5 million Canadian dollars, and the money in his whole body was not enough.

The final finale is the statue of "Bolseus and Medusa", the auctioneer doesn't need to say anything, as soon as this thing is brought out, the eyes of the collectors on the scene will light up.

In fact, there were quite a few people attending the auction this time, according to Little Blake, more than two hundred, but at least fifty people, who had not been motionless during the previous forty-seven works of art, and there was no doubt that they were waiting for the statue.

“…… Our starting bid is $24 million, with a $1,000,000 increase! ”

As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, a fat Russian tycoon immediately stood up and shouted: "26 million!" ”

"27 million!" An elegant middle-aged man immediately quoted, and Little Black introduced Qin Shiou in a low voice: "This person is from the British Bergan family, which is an old aristocratic family that originated in the Renaissance. ”

"28 million!" "He's a collector in France, and his family owns a steel mill."

"29 million!" "This man is Italian, and it is said that his family has business dealings with the mafia."

……

Qin Shiou is happy to see these people bidding, the higher the price, the more beneficial it is for him, if it weren't for the auction that the owner can't raise the price, he can't wait to raise the price directly to 35 million.

As a result, coincidentally, at this time, the Emirati tycoon, who had been in the limelight before, waved his hand and said flatly: "35 million!" ”

As soon as his price was quoted, it seemed that someone had lit a firecracker at the scene, and everyone immediately began to exclaim.

Another Russian predator stood up and said, "36 million! ”

Qin Shiou tightly covered his crotch, no, no, no, one library, one library, I'm going to!

Now those rich people from Europe are angry, this bronze sculpture is one of the masterpieces of the European Renaissance, lost in the First World War, all the Europeans with a slight sense of racial honor want to find him back, and now this statue finally appears, how can they do nothing?

In the eyes of the European tycoons, the Russian predators and the Middle Eastern tyrants are simply too deceitful, where do they think this is? They thought it was their one-third of an acre of land, and could they still cover the sky with one hand?

The previous artworks, the European tycoons did not participate in the auction because of their own identity, which is already considered to be a face-saving for these people, and it seems that the local tycoons don't buy it, so the European tycoons are welcome.

Representatives of several large European families got together and muttered in a low voice, and then sent a representative to offer: "40 million!" ”

Hearing this price, several Russian predators glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison, they really wanted to take this symbolic statue, but it was obvious that in their hearts this statue was not worth 40 million.

The auctioneer also felt that the price was about the same, and he was about to shout, but the Middle Eastern tyrant raised his hand again: "45 million!" ”

While quoting, the Middle Eastern tyrants looked at those European tycoons coldly, and the implication is self-evident: the world now is no longer the world dominated by Europe 80 years ago, if you want to snatch things from us Muslims, then give some blood.

The rich people in Europe were mad with anger, this is their national treasure, and they have to take it back no matter what, so someone gritted his teeth and said: "46 million!" ”

The Middle Eastern tyrant waved his hand, and this time he didn't need to speak in person, and a man dressed as an assistant said loudly: "50 million!" ”

Hearing this price, Qin Shiou's eyes were directly bloodshot and red, his hands didn't cover his crotch anymore, if he wanted to shoot, then shoot, now it has been changed to cover his heart.

At this moment, the rich people in Europe couldn't stand it anymore, and these people got together and bit their ears for a while, and finally raised the price weakly: "52 million!" ”

"55 million!" The assistant of the Middle Eastern tycoon proudly quoted.

Little Black shook Qin Shiou's hand vigorously and said, "Congratulations, Qin, you have stepped into the ranks of quasi-billionaires!" ”

Qin Shiou pulled his hand back and continued to hold his heart, he was thinking about whether to ask the waiter to call the emergency number.

Fortunately, the quotation finally stopped, and the Middle Eastern tycoon used the price ladder of 5 million to give the European tycoons a fatal blow, and after he quoted the price of 55 million, the European tycoons finally collapsed.

The auctioneer rhythmically shouted three bids, and then struck the gavel vigorously and said loudly: "The bid king is born, Mr. Afif Sheikha Lifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan from the United Arab Emirates got the bronze statue of "Boltios and Medusa" at a high price of 55 million, let us congratulate him with applause!" ”

"Bang Bang!" Qin Shiou's applause was particularly loud.

The European tycoons were disheartened, they clapped their hands politely, and then left one after another, probably not in the mood to attend the dinner party that followed.

The copycat "Sunflowers" is 540,000, Pinajean's other paintings are 1 million, Picasso's paintings are 2.5 million, plus these 55 million, Qin Shiou's worth is suddenly close to 60 million.

However, he also has to pay personal income tax on art auctions, which is 22% in Canada, but Auerbach told him that he could avoid taxes reasonably and has already helped him think of a plan to avoid it.

So anyway, this time he really became a local tyrant.

The dinner was still held in this five-star hotel called 'Four Seasons', and Little Blake took Qin Shiou around and introduced him to many Canadian tycoons.

After pouring a stomach of champagne, Qin Shiou saw little Blake and Alan Brandon, who was sitting next to him at the previous auction, standing together and laughing, so he walked over.

Little Blake raised his glass, Qin Shiou knew that he was going to introduce someone to him.

Sure enough, this time Little Blake pointed his wine glass at Aaron Brandon and smiled: "Qin, I think you already know Aaron, now please allow me to introduce again, this is Aaron Brandon, the general manager of the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Branch of the Bank of Montreal, you are from the same place, you should communicate more." ”

can be the president of the bank, and he is a member of the separatist side, Aaron Brandon's communication skills naturally have nothing to say, and when they meet again, they flatter Qin Shiou in all directions, and they use Mandarin!

Qin Shiou knew what Brandon meant, and he also said straightforwardly in Mandarin: "Don't worry, man, this money of mine will be deposited in your bank, but don't sell me any financial products for the time being, because I want to ...... quietly."

"Jingjing, who is Jingjing?" Brandon asked, pretending to be confused.

Qin Shiou laughed, he naturally knew this joke from **, and it could be seen that Brandon had worked hard to win his more than 50 million.

"You're having a good talk, do you mind inserting someone?" A gentle voice sounded, and as soon as Qin Shiou turned around, he saw the Middle Eastern tyrant who bought "Bolseus and Medusa" and walked over with a smile.

Qin Shiou naturally didn't mind knowing a Middle Eastern tyrant, and as for a banker like Brandon, he was even more eager to learn about such a friend.

Before, little Blake wanted to entertain this Emirati tyrant named Afif Sheikh Ha Lifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, but when they arrived at the dinner scene, they stood in the corner of the hall and drank themselves, so that no matter how thick his skin was, he was embarrassed to disturb others.

Several people didn't have in-depth communication, they just got to know each other and said goodbye to each other, Qin Shiou didn't wait for the banquet to end, he directly chose to return to the room first in the name of being too strong to drink.

"Go ahead, Qin, enjoy this night, I have prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it." Little Blake blinked and smiled, sly like a little fox.

Qin Shiou was indeed drunk, but when he went back early, he wanted to study the 'Seagod's food' he had just gotten.
