Golden Fishery

Qin Shiou was quite surprised by the continuous quotation of stamps, so he asked Auerbach in a low voice why everyone was so active.

Auerbach said: "There may be two reasons. One is that everyone is keen on such activities, and the other is that this set of stamps is very valuable. As far as I know, in the collection market, a complete set of war savings stamps costs at least 5,000." Yuan."

Sure enough, when the price reached 5,000 yuan, the intensity of competition began to slow down, and when the price reached 6,000, fewer people made offers.

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

Qin Shiou looked at Wei Ni on the host stage, smiled and raised his hand and said, "7000 yuan."

Those who participated in the bidding looked at him together. This set of stamps was not worth such a high price. Naturally, no one was competing with him, and they shook their heads to dispel the idea of ​​bidding.

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

According to the rules of public welfare auctions, Qin Shiou stood up and waved to the surroundings, and then everyone applauded him back.

The reason for doing this is to prevent some troublemakers from taking pictures of the lot and refusing to pay the bill. After standing up and letting everyone know their identities, unless they are shameless, they will take the initiative to pay the bill after the auction.

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 Chinese people are very familiar with, and it was a good gun with strong performance.

Winnie gave an introduction. This machine gun has been kept in the National War Museum of Canada, and it is well preserved. This time, it is one of the auction items that are offered to support commemorative activities in various places. The starting price is 22,000 Canadian dollars.

Qin Shiou is most interested in collecting this kind of thing. He looked at the introduction about the Brent machine gun on the screen. Used as a heavy machine gun.

Each price increase for this gun is 500 yuan. Not many Canadians like this, because everyone has access to guns, and hot weapons do not have a sense of mystery and attraction to them. Most of the bidders are collectors of World War II weapons.

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

Auerbach whispered to him: "You are taking a bargain, this kind of machine gun from World War II is still very popular in the world's collection circles.

If it was at an international auction, it would be easy to sell 50,000 yuan, and even 100,000 yuan is possible! "

Qin Shiou winked and said, "I bought it not just as a collection."

The rangers he led belonged to the militia. According to the Army Code, the weapons they could use were limited to light weapons from World War II, including 45 Webley 4 revolvers, Enfield rifles and this Brent machine gun.

The final auction item is a piece of jewelry, a Chinese-style jewelry provided by an old Chinese lady, called silver-plated dot emerald beaded purple tassels.

This tassel consists of silver brazing and three strands of purple-dyed pearls. The top of the silver braze is decorated with silver-plated emerald cloud bat patterns, both ends are inlaid with rubies, and the cloud bats are pierced with holes and connected with three strings of purple pearls. Each string of pearls has two Xizi knot beads made of coral, with ruby ​​pendant corners at the bottom of the beads, which is extremely gorgeous.

When Winnie showed it, she put it on her head for everyone to see. Immediately, the atmosphere in the hall changed, and many people enthusiastically started gearing up.

Although Winnie is wearing a modern floor-length dress, she has an elegant and ancient charm. Therefore, after wearing this tassel, it looked very matching. When she turned around to demonstrate to everyone, the eyes of a group of old men were about to pop out.

However, the price of this tassel is not cheap, the starting price is 200,000 yuan. Each time the price is increased by 2,000 yuan, the starting price of the previous lot is added up, which is about the same number.

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

Some people around Yan Donglei eagerly looked at Wei Ni on the host stage, and said, "This lady, no, this tassel is really beautiful. Is Brother Donglei interested in taking it? Go back and give it to your 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? Do you know him?"

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

"The one on the stage is his wife. Xiao Qin is the number one local tyrant I've ever seen. Do you think I'm just interested, and can you win me?"

When the auction started, a group of people bid fiercely. Auerbach exclaimed: "Didn't it mean that St. John's is not in a good financial situation now? It turns out that everyone is still very rich."

Qin Shiou leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "The ones who can bid are all from the middle class. Even if the economy is bad, it won't affect them much."

The price has directly risen to 300,000 yuan, and there are still people who are sharpening their knives. It has not reached the normal value of this jewelry, and the bidding is estimated to continue for a while.

Qin Shiou didn't want to wait any longer, he directly raised his hand and said, "400,000!"

The price suddenly rose by 100,000, and there was a gasp in the hall. Yan Donglei looked at the people around him and said, "How about it, am I right? Xiao Qin is determined to win."

Such suitable jewelry for Winnie, how could Qin Shiou let it into other people's hands?

The price of 400,000 is not high. Someone raised the price by 10,000. Qin Shiou immediately increased the price to 450,000.

When the price reached 500,000, there were still people following the price, so Qin Shiou became impatient and raised the price by 100,000 again: "600,000!"

Now the field is quiet, some people who have thoughts about this jewelry glance at it reluctantly, put down the bidding cards in their hands, if it goes up, the price will be a bit too high.

Winnie knocked on the gavel with a sweet smile, and the auction ended. A waiter came up to contact those who had photographed the exhibits, and asked them to go to the backstage to check out and hand over the exhibits.

Qin Shiou doesn't need to move here, Wei Ni is carrying a bank card, she will handle this kind of thing.

Next is the free time. Yan Donglei led a large group of Chinese to find Qin Shiou. As soon as they met, someone cupped his hands and said to him: "Congratulations, Xiao Qin, you are the big winner of this auction. You are really heroic, as expected of us in Newfoundland." Chinese leader."

Qin Shiou laughed when he heard what the man said before, but he couldn't laugh anymore when he heard the words behind: What the hell is the Chinese leader? When did he become the Chinese leader of Newfoundland? (To be continued.)
