565.Drag Racing (10/10)
I took a nap, and it was a little late, forgive me, there was no one in the early morning, the bullet casings couldn't be stopped, and during the part-time period, it was too hard to explode while working! &&&&
The exhibition lasts only two and a half hours, and until noon, the attendees go out to eat and the artworks are packed up and placed backstage for auction.
Qin Shiou pulled Billy and asked in a low voice, "I said that your courage is really not small, pretending to be a first-class master of Chaozhu?" Isn't this why no one finds the cat in it? ”
Billy grinned, "Who impersonated?" Qin, you have made a few mistakes, first, the red coral pearl is the special match of the first and second grade masters of your Qing Empire, maybe the original owner of this pearl is still Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan. Second, this string of pearls is not just a fake now, you have to understand that. ”
"What do you mean?" Qin Shiou asked.
"The bead in the middle is real, I spent a lot of effort to buy it from an old Chinese collector in San Francisco, it is indeed the pearl used by Jiang Linzhao, but unfortunately there is only one. I mixed this bead into your string of pearls, so that the whole bead is genuine, what is it called in your China? Mixed eyes? Billy asked.
Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "No, in our country, this is called flickering, big flickering!" ”
I have to admit that Billy has a brain, he succeeded in this flicker, and originally a string of red coral pearls worth at most 300,000 and 500,000 Canadian dollars, so that once it is linked to celebrities, the value immediately doubles.
One o'clock in the afternoon. The auction officially began, and an experienced auctioneer auctioned off one lot after another in a subdued voice, and Qin Shiou was not very interested in these things. Just holding my phone and watching the news.
In addition to the news that the Daito Showa Maru was fined and the owner of the Gatoroli fishery was fined for poisoning the fishing ground, there is also the news that the Japanese tuna farming industry has declared bankruptcy, and the bluefin tuna that has been accumulated over the years has run away......
It is said that after hearing this news, the price of bluefin tuna fillets in Japanese restaurants doubled at once.
Billy touched Qin Shiou, and when he looked up, he saw that his red coral pearl was placed on the auction table.
After the auctioneer introduced the origin and characteristics of this pearl. The reserve price was quoted: "The starting price is 1.5 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan each time." Please quote ......"
Now that the Chinese are becoming the mainstream of the art consumer market, several yellow-skinned men immediately began bidding, and the price quickly climbed from 1.5 million yuan to 1.85 million yuan, after several rounds of bidding. Halfway through, a wealthy Russian businessman participated and shouted the price to 2 million.
Qin Shiou nodded at Billy, you kid is considered a meritorious service this time.
A Chinese man raised his hand and shouted '2.05 million', the Russian rich businessman immediately shouted the price '2.1 million', and finally another Chinese man entangled the price, and finally the price was '2.25 million'.
Qin Shiou feels that the money of the rich is sometimes very easy to earn, as the so-called cycle of heavenly principles, repeated retribution, these capitalists exploit the working masses, and now he, the working masses, has cheated money from the capitalists again.
Chaozhu was filmed, and Qin Shiou was not interested. He patted his ass and left during the break, and when he was about to leave, he saw the Russian who patted the pearl find Billy and ask, "Are you Mr. Billy Sturmer?" Where did you get Admiral Chiang's Chaozhu? ”
Qin Shiou thought that there was some secret in this Chaozhu. He stopped and listened.
As a result, the Russians later said that his family had some relationship with this Admiral Chiang, and that his ancestors were persecuted by the Russian Tsar and exiled to the Qing Dynasty, and this Admiral Chiang's discerning heroes included him in the army, becoming a rare yellow-bearded soldier in the Qing Dynasty army at that time.
Later, Admiral Chiang died of illness, and the ancestors of the Russians returned to Siberia. In his diary, there is a detailed record of this pair of pearls, saying that this pearl was once something he dreamed of. In doing so, the Russians are fulfilling the last wish of their ancestors.
After understanding this, Qin Shiou couldn't help but laugh secretly, this Russian buddy must have been mistaken, what his ancestors dreamed of was the status represented by this dynasty bead - from a first-class master, a nine-gate admiral, and a Qing dynasty minister, not just a bead.
In the evening, Billy and Little Black came to find Qin Shiou and took him to participate in the midnight drag race.
Little Blake was dressed in a suit and leather shoes during the day, but now he is dressed as a madman, and his hair is fastened with hairspray and hung up like a torch. Wearing a tight leather suit with chains on his body, and wolf tooth gloves on his hands, he looks very unruly.
Like Qin Shiou, Little Black also drives his Porsche 918, and two supercars of the same shape and model are quite awesome side by side.
Enjoying the envious gaze of passers-by in the hotel, Qin Shiou was satisfied: "Although we will be despised later, it is not bad to be envied now." ”
Hearing his words, little Blake asked strangely, "Why should we be despised?" ”
Qin Shiou said: "You see, we are driving a Porsche 918, this kind of sports car with a false appearance should be the most disdainful thing for those who change cars, right?" I watch movies, and the drag racing scene is all modified crazy sports cars. ”
Little Black and Billy Wood looked at him stunned, then looked at each other and laughed.
Billy sneered, "What are you kidding?" This is a Porsche 918, although it is not the top sports car, but it is also a very top car! Who do you say disdain this kind of car? Changer? Let them eat shit! Aren't the engineers hired by Porsche as expensive as those who didn't go to college? Are you kidding! ”
Little Black patted Qin Shiou on the shoulder and said, "Man, you were deceived by the movie!" How can there be so many car modification masters? Even if there is, if you give them a Porsche 918, they can only change the exhaust pipe, change the steering wheel, etc., and they may not understand the rest! ”
Two Porsche 918s then drove one after the other towards Grebel on the outskirts of Ottawa, where the midnight race took place.
Known as the 'Emerald Necklace of the Capital', Grebel is Ottawa's largest green area, located on the northern outskirts of the city, covering an area of 18,000 hectares and stretching for a total of 45 kilometres.
After Qin Shiou drove to the suburbs, he found that there were indeed many cars on the scene, but there were only sixty or seventy sports cars, most of which were ordinary modified cars, SUVs, off-road vehicles, and the like.
However, there are a lot of beautiful women, but it is only mid-May, and the girls have already put on miniskirts, crop tops and the like, and some women simply wear bikini-like small belly pockets, showing off their smooth skin and slender figures.
Two Porsche 918s drove in, and there were whistles and applause at the scene, Qin Shiou thought that he would be taught to be a man, and it seemed that he didn't need it. (To be continued) R466
