The verification of the statue was faster than the identification of the picture, and Shashefsky took a picture of all aspects and sent it back to the company, then took a little copper foam and tested it with the carbon-14 meter he had brought.

Seeing the result, Shashewski said firmly: "Congratulations, Mr. Qin, you may have the most valuable statue of the year!" ”

In fact, because of the fake of "Sunflowers", Qin Shiou was mentally prepared, that is, these paintings are worthless, even if this portrait of Picasso is finally verified to be a fake, he can even face it calmly.

But now that he got this result, he really couldn't keep his normal mind: this statue, which he regarded as a statue that could not be sold for hundreds of dollars in copper, turned out to be an antique worth 30 million, and the 30 million was still Canadian dollars!

Hearing his thoughts, Shashewski's unsmiling face smiled, and he said: "If this statue of Perseus and Medusa had not rusted due to poor preservation, it would have to be worth another ten million." What you may not know is that this statue is the greatest work of Mr. Qiē Lini, one of Italy's most famous sculptors of the sixteenth century! ”

Qin Shiou really doesn't understand this, what he understands is that he has really become a rich generation now......

After the appraisal was over, Shashefsky and the others did not leave, because the general manager of Ritchie Auction House left with experts from the sculpture department on the same day, and they would also rush to the fishing ground tomorrow to finalize the authenticity of the statue.

In addition, Shashefsky told Qin Shiou that his company wanted to work with him to obtain the auction rights for the statue and the paintings.

Qin Shiou was a little hesitant, although the Ritchie auction house is not small, but in fact, it is more famous for mechanical auctions, as for cultural relics and artworks, Sotheby's and even Sotheby's auction houses are more reliable.

Shashewski was not a salesman, and when he saw Qin Shiou's embarrassment, he smiled and did not bring up the topic again, but began to talk about the paintings and statues.

According to Shashewski's speculation, the "Woman with the Golden Drum" must have been purchased by Pinajan's friend from Picasso for study. There was a time when Pinajean's abstract painting skills improved by leaps and bounds, perhaps inspired by Picasso's original paintings.

What he was curious about was, where did Qin Shiou get this statue from?

Qin Shiou pushed the source of these things to his mysterious second grandfather, and Auerbach helped him speak, saying: "Qin Hongde is an amazing man, during World War II, he was the head of the Allied maritime transport team in Newfoundland, I think, this may have been obtained by him during that special period." ”

Qin Shiou was dizzy, his second grandfather, is so famous?

In the evening, the three of them had a meal, and the dinner was set up at Daddy Hickson's Flavor Restaurant, where they enjoyed an original Newfoundland meal and tasted the world-famous local ice wine.

Drunk and dizzy, Qin Shiou returned to the bedroom and lay down, and his consciousness shifted to the ocean again.

The underwater world is still a little desolate, and his consciousness travels in the sand of the flat seabed, and he has not seen life for a long time, and there is a kind of pathos.

What is it that turned a once thriving fishing ground into the undersea cemetery it is today? Qin Shiou vowed that he would use the money obtained after the auction to improve the fishery and bring it back to life.

Consciousness shifted to the pink coral, the cup sponge was slowly swaying around, he felt it, the vitality of the cup sponge was no longer a problem, which made Qin Shiou finally feel a little relieved.

As a result, when he looked at the corals carefully, he found that things were not very good, and he didn't pay attention to them yesterday, in fact, the situation of the polyps was even worse!

Of the corals around now, only here is a living coral, probably five or six square in size, half pink and the other yellow. There are also corals on the periphery, but they are all grayish coral stones.

These coral stones are formed by the condensation of the corpses of polyps.

This piece of living coral, the farther you go, the lighter the color and the lighter the breath of life, if you only feel the middle position, the polyps are indeed full of vitality. But if you feel the surroundings, the coral is dead.

Thinking of the previous experience of rescuing the sponge, Qin Shiou covered his consciousness on this coral, and used the energy contained in his consciousness to care for their lives.

The miracle is that it takes years for a coral to form, because the polyps are very small, and although they are constantly reproducing, they are also constantly dying.

However, at this moment, the pink polyps and pale yellow polyps suddenly began to multiply wildly, and the corals on the bottom of the sea spread to the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just two minutes, five or six square meters of live corals expanded to a space of about ten square sizes!

Qin Shiou was also unprecedentedly tired, he directly withdrew his consciousness and fell into a coma.

In the past two days, Qin Shiou woke up on time at six o'clock in the morning, but this time he slept until eight o'clock, and he was only woken up when the little squirrel knocked on the window.

The body is unprecedentedly tired, Qin Shiou is very helpless, it seems that the energy of his consciousness cannot be abused, otherwise his life will be in danger.

Qin Shiou opened the window and put in two little squirrels, the latter looked at his tired appearance, turned around and ran out together. When they came back again, the little squirrels brought two pine nuts.

What the little squirrel did warmed Qin Shiou's heart, he held the two in his hand and kissed them, and found that the other little squirrel was a mother's, and immediately laughed, rubbed Xiao Ming's head with his fingers, and said, "Tell me honestly, is it early love?" ”

Xiao Ming stretched out his pink tongue and licked his fingers, picked up the pine nuts and handed them to him.

Qin Shiou knocked on the pine nuts and said with a smile: "Bribes are useless, you talk to someone at such a young age?" Are you trying to me off? I'm twenty-six or seventy-seven, and I don't have a daughter-in-law. ”

The female squirrel looked at him quietly, Qin Shiou thought for a while, and said, "Okay, in the future, your name will be Xiaohong, Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong are a natural pair." ”

This female squirrel's fur is much redder than Xiao Ming's, and it is a standard North American red squirrel.

I took the two little squirrels to have breakfast together while watching TV, and at noon, the expert team of Ritchie Auction House arrived in a huge way.

Qin Shiou carried the bronze sculpture down, and when he saw him carrying the statue like a bucket, Shashewsky's eyes were about to pop out, and at this time, an elegant middle-aged man in his thirties with glasses next to him smiled: "Mr. Qin's strength is great. ”

Hearing this, Qin Shiou suddenly remembered a problem that he hadn't noticed recently, his strength seemed to have become a lot bigger, in fact, this bronze statue was solid, and the weight might be seventy or eighty kilograms, but when he carried it in his hand, he felt relaxed, as if he was carrying something of seven or eight catties.

He guessed that it should also have something to do with the heart of the sea god.

Auerbach introduced him to Robert Blake IV, the general manager of Ritchie Auction House.

Qin Shiou had already understood that Blake was a well-known family in eastern Canada, and they controlled the Bushi Foundation, one of the eight major consortia in Canada, and they had great energy.

"You can call me Little Blake, my friends call me that, Little Cloth." Robert Black IV took the initiative to stretch out his hand, shook hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin is really young and promising, and now he is in control of such a large fishing ground, and at your age, I still spend my parents' money to pursue beautiful girls." ”

In a few words, Little Blake got closer to Qin Shiou.

Qin Shiou made coffee for everyone, and little Blake started chatting with him, starting with the Forbidden City and the Badaling Great Wall, and after learning that his hometown was Dongshan Province, he began to talk about Confucian and Mencian culture and Confucianism.

is worthy of the general manager of a well-known auction house, little Blake knows how to chat very well, and he only understands a little about these topics, mainly asking Qin Shiou for advice, and he picked up the latter in a few words.

Auerbach smiled beside him without saying a word, which was also an opportunity for Qin Shiou to grow up, allowing him to see the skills of those upper-class capitalists.

The last identification sheet came out, and after reading it, Little Blake handed it to Qin Shiou, this statue is indeed genuine.

Qin Shiou still had some questions, and said: "I checked it on the Internet yesterday, this statue of "Perseus and Medusa" seems to be on Michelangelo Square in Florida, Italy, right? Why is there another one here? ”

Little Blake laughed, "No, no, man, it's a fake, it's a fake." As you know, the statue was commissioned by the master carver Cellini in 1545 at the request of Grand Duke Cosimo and was lost two centuries later. Later, there were people in several parts of Europe who claimed to have seen it, but no one was able to actually get it to the public, and now, you have done it. ”

Qin Shiou hurriedly said that he was just lucky, and the people around him were not making a fuss, they had seen more auction items, and many people had better luck.

Little Black coughed lightly, Qin Shiou knew that the topic had arrived, and he immediately sat upright, ready to refuse the request of the Ritchie Auction House.

There is no doubt that a work of art of this value is still more expensive at Sotheby's auction house of that level.

"Mr. Qin, as you know, our company has always focused on mechanical auctions, and has achieved mediocre achievements in artworks. But at the beginning of the year, our board of directors unanimously decided that the company was going to transform into a work of art, so I hope that you will give our company the glory of auctioning these works of art. ”

"I know that Southby and Sotheby's auction houses are more suitable for these artworks, but now that the spring auction is less than half a month away, you should understand that the value of the artwork is directly proportional to the publicity investment, and I think if you send it to the spring auction now, you will not be able to sell it at a good price."

"If our company can get the right to auction it, then I assure you that we will use all our power to promote these works of art, including Monsieur Pinajean's paintings."

"In addition, the international custom of art auction commissions is 12%, and if you are willing to leave it to us, then we are willing to reduce the commission to 5%; And, I think you may be in dire need of funds to run your fishery right now, and our company can pay you $10 million in cash in advance! ”

Qin Shiou was silent for a moment, deal!

&&&&&&Dear book friends, tomorrow is Monday, I hope you can support the bullet shells, collect them, recommend them, and let's start the list next week. Bullet shells are now newcomers, and the fishing grounds are also new books, how far we can rush depends on how far we can go!
