v2 Chapter 921: .Do you want to be the mayor (6/10)
"This is a piece of art provided by the Chinese painter Liu Chengzong. It is called "Shang He Tu on Qingming Festival". It is a reproduction of life in the Song Dynasty in China. It is called the Encyclopedia of the Song Dynasty. The starting price is 4,500 Canadian dollars..." Bai Glove said in a passionate voice.
His voice fell, Qin Shiou raised the brochure in his hand, "4600 Canadian dollars."
Hamley thought for a while, and said, “The Song Dynasty is a very old dynasty, isn’t it? Is this painting a fake?”
Qin Shiou smiled and said: "Of course it is a fake. The authentic paintings of this painting have been incomplete. If it is a genuine product, then how can it be 4,500 Canadian dollars and more than 45 million Canadian dollars! That is our national treasure!"
He wants to take this painting. The villa lacks decorations, only some hideous fossils. The picture of Shanghe on Qingming Festival is big and beautiful, and it is a good decoration to hang.
Furthermore, this painting is obviously copied by this compatriot named Liu Chengzong. Although it is a fake, it is not something crudely manufactured by a factory. It still has a certain artistic value.
Most of the people present are from well-off homes and come to show love. By the way, see if you can meet something you like.
And Chinese antiques and works of art have always been the indicators of the collector's circle. There is no doubt that many people are interested in this super-long scroll.
So, the arms raised one after another, the price rose all the way, from 4500 yuan to 8000 yuan, creating the current price record.
Qin Shiou insisted on raising his hand, expressing his determination to take the painting. 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.
Finally. The price rose to 9,200 yuan, and Qin Shiou directly added it to 10,000 yuan. The remaining competitor shrugged and gave up the bid, and nodded to him in the air. Congratulations on taking this picture.
The white glove hits the table with a mallet in his hand, OK, the deal is 10,000 yuan.
The people around all shook hands with Qin Shiou, this time it was not a celebration of him. But thank him for his contribution to charity.
After the auction of the "Shangming River Picture on Qingming Festival", the auction will be suspended and everyone will rest.
Hamley patted Qin Shiou on the shoulder and motioned for him to come with him. He found a small prayer room. Only two people sat in. Then the mayor asked straightforwardly: "Remember my promise to you before the mayor election? ?"
Qin Shiou certainly remembered. He smiled and said, "Let Farewell Island be my private island?"
Hamley corrected: "It is not to be, but to be similar."
Qin Shiou shrugged and said that he understood. Said: "Of course I remember, then what can you do? Sell me the right to use it?"
Hamley smiled and said, "You have lived on the island for long enough, and you should know enough about the island, right?"
"In fact, Farewell Island is a small world independent of the land. Residents only care about their own lives. They don't care about the politics, military, and economics of the country or even at the provincial and municipal levels."
"I am the mayor, and I have a clearer feeling about all this. When I was on the island, I felt that the island belongs to me, so I worked so hard to develop and build her."
"If you want to own this island, Qin, let me give you a suggestion. You should first become the mayor of the town, and then slowly invest in all the island’s businesses-as far as I know, you are already doing this, right? Isn’t it? In the end, when the government and economy of the island belong to you. Wouldn’t that mean that the island belongs to you?”
"Do you want to be the mayor? This requires popular election. And I have the right to nominate. I believe that if I nominate you to be the mayor, then you are the mayor!"
Hamley finished speaking, Qin Shiou's spirit was concentrated, he looked at Hamley questioningly and said, "Are you serious?"
"Of course. I am fulfilling my promise to my biggest financial supporter, and I must say something seriously!"
Qin Shiou rubbed his hands. Looking directly at Hamley, "Why do I have a feeling that we are embarrassed and ready to seek power and usurp the power?"
"Did you watch "Mission Impossible", "House of Cards", "Fall of the White House" and other ghosts last night? Damn it, Qin, we are making plans for the development of the farewell town. What are we talking about? !" Hamley looked desperate.
In fact, Hamley’s idea really moved Qin Shiou!
He has no interest in bidding farewell to the position of the mayor of the town, but if he can control the power of the town, and then penetrate the economy, the farewell island can really become his private garden.
Of course, how the people in the town should live and how to live, they can make better money, because Qin Shiou’s economic penetration is not a simple acquisition and exclusion, but a joint venture!
Just like he and Hughes work together to open a grocery store, he and Sagro work together to open a gun store, most people in the town have little money, then he can inject capital to expand the business.
With a quick twist in his heart, Qin Shiou said: "I am interested, William, but am I eligible to run for mayor of the town?"
Hamley raised his index finger and said: “As long as one year, Newfoundland’s political environment is the most relaxed. As long as one year of immigration, you can run for mayor.”
"Then let's talk 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 peasantry. This is related to his family. The children of Chinese peasants all hope to have a piece of land where they can be the masters.
In the final analysis, Qin Shiou is insecure. He is worried that he will bid farewell to the island and come to a mayor who does not deal with him. That will be troublesome. He has invested too much resources in the fishery and must ensure the complete ownership of the fishery.
The fifteen-minute rest time passed quickly. Qin Shiou returned to the church. He still put up the cards after auction. He gave a good price and got a bunch of things that he didn't expect to use.
The last auction item was called "Mysterious Seven Days". The white gloves took out the seven exquisite black pearls brought by Qin Shiou. They first boasted with various beautiful words, and then introduced the donor, Qin Shiou.
Seven black pearls were photographed from various angles, and now they are played on the background curtain of the church. On the clear photos, the black pearls appear purer and darker, with a faint luster. They appear in the church at this time, and there is indeed a trace. Mysterious taste.
Qin Shiou got up to pay his respects. There was thunderous applause and the white gloves said: "This great fisherman, alone held up the half of the auction. God bless him and God bless him! Every good person will regard him as Role model!"
Full of foreplay, the final auction began. The value of the seven black pearls is the largest among the auction items, and the price is also the highest. The starting price is 100,000 Canadian dollars! A price increase is no longer one hundred and two hundred, but one thousand! (To be continued~^~)
