20. One of half billionaires

The carbon fourteen analyzer will not be faked. This thing is an antique from the 18th century at least, so Qin Shiou knew that its price would not be low, but 1.6 million was not high. So as soon as the price came out, he raised his hand and shouted: "1.65 million."

Other collectors probably looked at him. Many people in the front row looked back at him. The wealthy UAE businessman who had previously filmed "Woman's Avatar" also waved and said, "1.7 million!"

Qin Shiou smiled and said nothing. He was waiting for other people's offer. When the final price came out, he could just raise it and get it, saving such trouble.

Sure enough, two more people offered a price, which increased the price to 1.9 million. The auctioneer shouted '1.9 million for the first time'. Qin Shiou raised his hand and said aloud: "2 million!"

Aaron Brandon, who was sitting next to him, spread his hands and made a helpless position. He smiled at Qin Shiou and said, "Young man, calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive. This is 2 million yuan, just buy a piece of rotten wood?"

Qin Shiou turned his head and smiled, "There is no way, you have money and willful!"

For an 18th-century ambergris sculpture that has not been officially sophisticated, two million Canadian dollars is already the limit price. Even the wealthy businessman in the UAE had nothing to say and shook his head and gave up the auction.

Two million, the Sea God's food was obtained.

Brandon was still shaking his head, and Qin Shiou felt that it was nothing. He had a premonition that this thing would bring him surprises.

There was nothing that interested Qin Shiou in the auction items later. There was a master Qi Baishi's brush stroke that he was tempted and he also had the awareness of buying back national treasures for the nation. Unfortunately, the price was too high, and the final transaction price was 15.5 million Canadian dollars, which was not enough for his whole body.

The finale is the statue of "Bolsius and Medusa". The auctioneer doesn't need to say anything more. As soon as this thing is lifted, the collectors on the scene lit up.

In fact, there were many people participating in the auction this time. According to Blake Jr., there were more than 200 people, but there were at least fifty people. During the previous forty-seven artworks, there was no doubt that these people were waiting for the statue.

“…Our starting price is 24 million Canadian dollars, each increase of 1 million Canadian dollars!”

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a fat Russian rich man stood up and shouted: "26 million!"

"27 million!" An elegant middle-aged man followed up with a quote, and Little Black whispered to Qin Shiou: "This man comes from the Bergen family in the UK, which is an old aristocratic family that originated in the Renaissance."

"28 million!" "He is a French collector and his family has a steel factory."

"29 million!" "This man is from Italy, and it is said that his family and the mafia have business dealings."

...

Qin Shiou was happy to see these people bidding. The higher the price, the better it would be. If it weren't for the auction, the owner could not raise the price, he would have wanted to directly raise the price to 35 million.

As a result, coincidentally, at this moment, the UAE rich man who had been in the limelight before waved his hand and said calmly: "35 million!"

As soon as his price was reported, it seemed that someone lit a firecracker at the scene, and everyone immediately began to exclaim.

Another Russian tycoon stood up and said, "36 million!"

Qin Shiou tightly covered her crotch. She couldn't do it anymore. She was about to ejaculate!

Now the rich people from Europe were furious. This bronze sculpture is one of the representative works of the European Renaissance. It was lost in World War I. All Europeans with a little sense of racial honor want to find him back. Now that the statue finally appears, how can they do nothing?

In the eyes of European rich people, Russian tycoons and Middle Eastern tycoons are simply too bullying. What do they think is this? Do they think this is their one acre of three parts of the land can still cover the sky with their hands?

The European rich people respected their identities and did not participate in the filming of the artworks in front, which was already considered as giving these people face. It seems that if the rich people don’t buy it, then the European rich people will be polite.

Several representatives of European families gathered together and muttered for a while, and then sent a representative to offer: "40 million!"

Hearing this price, several Russian tycoons looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. They wanted to take down this symbolic statue, but it was obvious that in their hearts, the statue was not worth 40 million.

The auctioneer also felt that the price was almost the same. He was about to shout, but the rich man from the Middle East raised his hand again: "45 million!"

While quoting, the Middle East tyrants looked at the European tyrants coldly, and the meaning was self-evident: The world today is no longer the world that Europe dominated eighty years ago. If you want to grab something from our Muslims, then let’s get some blood.

The European rich people were so angry that they were crazy. This was their national treasure and they had to take it back no matter what. So someone gritted his teeth and said, "46 million!"

A middle-eastern rich man waved his hand, and he didn't need to speak in person this time. A man dressed in an assistant shouted: "50 million!"

When Qin Shiou heard this price, his eyes were congested and red. His hands stopped covering his crotch. If he wanted to cum, he would cum. Now it has been changed to covering his heart.

Now the European rich people couldn't stand it anymore. These people gathered together and bit their ears for a while, and finally increased their price weakly: "52 million!"

"55 million!" The assistant of a rich middle-eastern tycoon proudly quoted.

Little Black held Qin Shiou's hand hard and said, "Congratulations, Qin, you have entered the ranks of quasi-billionaires!"

Qin Shiou pulled his hand back and continued to cover his heart. He was considering whether to ask the waiter to call the emergency number.

Fortunately, the quotation finally stopped. The Middle East tyrants used a price ladder of 5 million to give European rich people a fatal blow. After he quoted a price of 55 million, the European rich people eventually collapsed.

The auctioneer finished the bid three times rhythmically, then beat the hammer hard and whispered loudly: "The King of Biography was born, and Mr. Afev Sheikhha-Lifa-bin-Zayed-Al Nahyan from the United Arab Emirates received the bronze statue of Boltsius and Medusa for a high price of 55 million. Let us congratulate him with applause!"

"Papapapapapapa!" Qin Shiou clapped particularly loudly.

The European rich people were discouraged. They clapped their hands politely and then left one after another. They probably weren't in the mood to attend the subsequent dinner.

The copycat "Sunflower" is 540,000 yuan, Pinajang's other paintings are 1 million, and Picasso's paintings are 2.5 million. With this 55 million, Qin Shiou's net worth is 60 million yuan at once.

However, he also has to pay personal income tax for art auctions, which Canada requires 22%, but Auerbach told him that he could avoid taxes reasonably and had helped him figure out a tax avoidance plan.

So no matter what, this time he really became a rich man.

The dinner was still held in this five-star hotel called "Four Seasons". Little Black took Qin Shiou around and introduced him to many Canadian rich people.

After receiving a lot of champagne, Qin Shiou saw Little Black standing with Allen Brandon, who was sitting next to him at the previous auction, chatting and laughing, and then walked over.

Little Black raised his wine glass, and Qin Shiou knew that he was going to introduce him to know again.

Sure enough, this time, Blake pointed the wine glass at Allen Brandon and smiled and said, "Qin, I think you already know Allen. Now please allow me to introduce it again. This is Allen Brandon, the general manager of the Newfoundland-Labrador Provincial Branch of the Bank of Montreal. You are from the same place and should communicate more."

He was able to be the president of the bank and was a senior official in the separatist. Allen Brandon's social skills were naturally speechless. When he met again, he flattered Qin Shiou in all aspects, and he used Mandarin!

Qin Shiou knew what Brandon meant, and he also said bluntly in Mandarin: "Don't worry, man, my money will be in your bank, but don't sell me any financial products for the time being, because I want to be quiet..."

"Jingjing, who is Jingjing?" Brandon asked in disguise.

Qin Shiou laughed. He naturally knew this joke from **. It could be seen that Brandon had worked hard to win over the more than 50 million he had.

"You have a great conversation. Do you mind inserting someone?" A gentle voice sounded. Qin Shiou turned around and saw the Middle East rich man who bought "Borseus and Medusa" and walked over with a smile.

Qin Shiou naturally didn't mind knowing a Middle Eastern tyrant. As for bankers like Brandon, he was even more eager to learn about such friends.

Before, Black wanted to entertain the UAE rich man named Afev Sheikhha Lifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, but when he arrived at the dinner, he stood coldly and arrogantly in a corner of the hall to drink and drink. In this way, no matter how thick his face was, he was embarrassed to go up and disturb him.

None of the few people communicated in depth, but they met each other for a while and said goodbye to each other. Before Qin Shiou could end the banquet, he directly chose to return to the room first in the name of being unable to bear the wine.

"Go, Qin, enjoy this night. I've prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it." Little Black smiled with his eyes blinking, as cunning as a little fox.

Qin Shiou was indeed drunk, but when he went back early, he wanted to study the "Sea God's Food" he just got.
