1342. Somehow became a leader

The price of stamps continued, and Qin Shiou was quite surprised, so he asked Auerbach in a low voice why everyone was so active.

"There may be two reasons, one is the enthusiasm for this kind of activity, and the other is that this set of stamps is very valuable, and as far as I know, a complete set of war savings stamps in the collector's market now costs at least 5,000 yuan," Auerbach said. ”

Sure enough, after the price reached 5,000 yuan, the fierce competition began to slow down, and when the price reached 6,000, there were fewer people who offered.

In this way, four more people bid, and the auction price reached 6,400 yuan, and no one bid anymore at this time.

Qin Shiou looked at Winnie on the hosting stage, smiled and raised his hand and said, "7,000 yuan." ”

The people who participated in the quotation looked at him together, this set of stamps was not worth such a high price, naturally no one competed with him, and shook their heads together to dispel the idea of bidding.

Winnie shouted the price three times, but no one continued to bid, and this set of stamps belonged to Qin Shiou.

According to the rules of the charity auction, Qin Shiou stood up and waved around, and then everyone gave him applause.

The reason for this is to prevent some troublemakers from taking pictures and finally refusing to pay the bill, so that after standing up and letting everyone know their identity, they will take the initiative to settle the bill after the auction unless they are shameless.

Later, another lot was displayed, and there was even a Brent machine gun, which was similar in appearance to the Czech-made machine gun that the Chinese people were very familiar with, and it was a good gun with strong performance.

Winnie gave an introduction that the machine gun has been kept in the National War Museum of Canada, and it is very well preserved, and this time it is one of the auction items that will be taken out to support the commemoration in various places, and the starting price is 22,000 Canadian dollars.

Qin Shiou was most interested in collecting this kind of thing, and he looked at the introduction of the Brent machine gun on the screen. The gun is still in combat and is not castrated, which means that with a drum, it can be used as a heavy machine gun.

The price increase of this gun is 500 yuan each time, and Canadians don't like this much, because everyone usually has access to guns. Thermal weapons have no mystery or attraction for them, and most of the bidders are World War II weapons collectors.

Qin Shiou followed the offer, no matter who quoted the price, he would add 500 yuan, only added it four times, and finally won the gun at a price of 26,500 yuan.

Auerbach whispered to him: "You are picking up a bargain, this kind of machine gun from the World War II era is still very popular in the world collection circle, if it is sold at an international auction, it is easy to sell it for 50,000 yuan." 100,000 yuan is possible! ”

Qin Shiou squeezed his eyes and said, "I bought it not just as a collector's item. ”

The Rangers he led belonged to the militia, and according to the Army Code, their weapons were limited to World War II-era light weapons, including the .45 Webley Model 4 revolver, Enfield rifles, and this Brent machine gun.

The final lot was a piece of jewelry, Chinese-style jewelry provided by an old Chinese lady, called silver-gilded, dotted emerald beaded purple tassels.

The tassel is made up of silver chisel and three strands of pearls dyed purple. The top of the silver chisel is decorated with a silver-gilt dotted emerald cloud bat pattern, and the ends are inlaid with rubies. The cloud bat has a perforated ring connected to three strings of purple pearls. Each string of pearls has two wedding beads made of coral, and the lower end of the beads has a ruby pendant, which is extremely gorgeous.

Winnie deliberately put it on her head to show everyone when she showed it, and suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall changed. A lot of people are enthusiastically starting to gear up.

Although Winnie is wearing a modern floor-length dress, she has an elegant antique charm on her body, so she looks very good after wearing this tassel, and when she turns around to show everyone, the eyes of a group of big men are about to pop out.

However, the price of this tassel is not cheap. The starting price is 200,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 2,000 yuan each time, and the starting price of the previous lots adds up, which is about the same number.

Of course, this piece of jewelry is also worth this price, although it is not a cultural relic of the ancient Chinese court, but according to the introduction, it has survived for at least a hundred years, and it is no problem to sell it for three or four hundred thousand.

Someone around Yan Donglei eagerly looked at Winnie on the hosting stage and said, "This lady, no, this tassel is really beautiful, is Brother Donglei interested in winning it?" Go back and give it to my sister-in-law, it's definitely a good gift. ”

Yan Donglei laughed, he pointed to Qin Shiou on the other side and said, "Did you see him?" Acquaintance, right? ”

"I know, Xiao Qin, he is the most popular among our compatriots right now."

"The one on the stage is his wife, Xiao Qin is the first local tyrant I have ever seen, do you think I am just interested, and can I win it?"

As the auction began, a crowd of people bid fiercely, and Auerbach exclaimed, "Didn't you say that St. John's is not doing well economically?" It turns out that everyone is still very rich. ”

Qin Shiou leaned lazily on the back of his chair and said with a smile: "Those who can bid are all middle-class and upward, even if the economy is not good, it will not affect them much." ”

The price has risen directly to 300,000 yuan, and some people are sharpening their knives, and it is estimated that the bidding will continue for a while before the regular value of this jewelry.

Qin Shiou didn't want to wait, he directly raised his hand and said, "Four hundred thousand!" ”

The price suddenly rose by 100,000, and the hall suddenly sounded a gasp, Yan Donglei looked at the people around him and said, "How about it, I'm not wrong, right?" Xiao Qin is determined to win. ”

Such a suitable jewel for Winnie, how could Qin Shiou let it into the hands of others?

The price of 400,000 yuan is not high, someone followed and raised the price by 10,000, Qin Shiou immediately increased the price to 450,000, which was already very polite to him, according to his idea, he would increase the price to 100,000 at a time, and it would be resolved quickly.

When it came to 500,000, there were still people following the price, but Qin Shiou became impatient and raised the price by 100,000 again: "600,000!" ”

Now the field was quiet, and some people who had ideas about this jewelry took a reluctant look, put down the bidding card in their hands, and the price was a little too high if it went up.

Winnie smiling and striking the gavel, the auction ended, and a waiter came up to contact the people who had auctioned the exhibits and asked them to go backstage to check out and hand over the exhibits.

Qin Shiou doesn't have to move here, Winnie has a bank card, she will deal with this kind of thing.

Next is free time, Yan Donglei led a large group of Chinese people to find Qin Shiou, and as soon as they met, someone gave him his hand and said: "Congratulations, Xiao Qin, you are the big winner of this auction, you are really heroic, and you are worthy of being the Chinese leader of our Newfoundland." ”

Hearing this person's words in front, Qin Shiou laughed, but when he heard the back, he couldn't laugh out loud: What the hell is the Chinese leader? When did he become a Chinese leader in Newfoundland? (To be continued......)
