The quotations for stamps kept coming. Qin Shiou was quite surprised and 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 inherently valuable. As far as I know, in the collection market now, a complete set of war savings stamps costs at least 5,000. Yuan."
Sure enough, after the price reached 5,000 yuan, the intensity of competition began to slow down, and when the price reached 6,000 yuan, fewer people made offers.
Qin Shiou looked at Wei Ni on the host stage, smiled and raised his hand and said: "7,000 yuan."
The people who participated in the bidding looked at him together. This set of stamps was not worth such a high price. Naturally, no one competed with him. They shook their heads and gave up the idea of ??bidding.
Wei Ni shouted the price three times, but no one continued to bid. This set of stamps belonged to Qin Shiou.
According to the rules of the charity auction, Qin Shiou stood up and waved around, and everyone applauded him in return.
The reason why this is done is to prevent some troublemakers who take pictures of the items and refuse to pay the bill. After standing up and letting everyone know their identity, unless they are shameless, they will take the initiative to check out after the auction.
There are more items on display at the back, and there is actually a Brent machine gun. This thing is similar in appearance to the Czech-made machine gun that Chinese people are very familiar with. It is a good gun with powerful performance.
Winnie gave an introduction. This machine gun has been kept in the Canadian National War Museum and is well preserved. This time it is one of the auction items put out to support commemorative activities in various places. The starting price is 22,000 Canadian dollars.
Qin Shiou was most interested in collecting this kind of thing. He looked at the introduction about the Brent machine gun on the screen. This gun actually maintained its combat effectiveness and had not been castrated. In other words, it could be used directly with a drum magazine. Used as a heavy machine gun.
The price increase of this gun is 500 yuan each time. Not many Canadians like this, because everyone has access to guns on a daily basis, and hot weapons have no mystery or appeal to them. Most of the people participating in the bidding are collections of World War II weapons. Enthusiast.
Qin Shiou followed the quotation. No matter who quoted the price, he would add 500 yuan. He only added four times and finally won the gun for 26,500 yuan.
Auerbach whispered to him: "You are getting a bargain. This kind of machine gun from the Second World War is still very popular in the world of collectors. If it were sold at an international auction, it would be easy to sell for 50,000 yuan or 100,000 yuan." possible!"
Qin Shiou winked and said, "I bought it not just as a collection."
The Rangers he leads belong to the militia. According to the Army Code, the weapons they can use are limited to World War II-era light weapons, including the .45 Webley Model 4 revolver, Enfield rifles and this Brent machine gun.
The last auction item is a piece of jewelry, a Chinese-style jewelry provided by an old Chinese lady, called a silver-plated gold-plated jade beaded purple tassel.
This tassel is composed of a silver braid and three strings of purple-dyed pearls. The top of the silver braid is decorated with silver-plated emerald cloud bats, and rubies are embedded at both ends. The cloud bats are pierced with holes and connected to three strings of purple pearls. Each string of pearls has two happy knot beads made of coral. The lower ends of the beads have ruby ??pendants, which are extremely gorgeous.
When Wei Ni showed it off, she put it on her head for everyone to see. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall changed, and many people started to show off their hands enthusiastically.
Although Wei Ni is wearing a modern floor-length skirt, she has an elegant ancient charm, so wearing this tassel looks very matching. When she turned around to demonstrate to everyone, the eyes of a group of old men were staring. Out.
"However, the price of this tassel is not cheap. The starting price is 200,000 yuan, and the price increases by 2,000 yuan each time. The starting price of the previous lots is almost the same.
Of course, this piece of jewelry is worth the price. Although it is not a cultural relic of the ancient Chinese palace, according to reports, it has been around for at least a hundred years. It can still be sold for three to four hundred thousand.
Someone around Yan Donglei looked eagerly at Wei Ni at the host table and said, "Madam, no, this tassel is really beautiful. Brother Donglei, are you interested in getting it? Go back and give it to your sister-in-law. It will definitely be a good gift."
Yan Donglei laughed. He pointed at Qin Shiou on the other side and said, "Have you seen him? Do you know him?"
"We know Xiao Qin. He is the most popular among our compatriots right now."
"That person on the stage is his wife. Xiao Qin is the most wealthy person I have ever met. Do you think I am interested and can get it?"Next? "
When the bidding started, a group of people bid fiercely. Auerbach exclaimed: "Didn't I say that the current economic situation in St. John's is not good? 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 from the middle class and up. Even if the economy is not good, it will not have much impact on them."
The price has directly risen to 300,000 yuan, and there are still people sharpening their knives. It has not reached the conventional value of this piece of jewelry. It is estimated that the bidding will continue for a while.
Qin Shiou didn't want to wait any longer, he raised his hand directly and said: "Four hundred thousand!"
The price suddenly jumped up to 100,000, and there was a gasp of cold air 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."
How could Qin Shiou let jewelry that was so suitable for Wei Ni go into the hands of others?
The price of 400,000 yuan was not high. Some people followed suit and raised the price by 10,000 yuan. Qin Shiou immediately increased the price to 450,000 yuan. This was already very polite of him. According to his idea, the price could be increased to 100,000 yuan at a time and the decision would be made quickly.
When the price reached 500,000, there were still people following the price. Qin Shiou became impatient and increased the price by another 100,000: "Six hundred thousand!"
The venue was quiet now. Some people who had thoughts about this piece of jewelry took a reluctant look at it and put down their bidding cards. If it went higher, the price would be a bit too high.
Winnie smiled brightly and banged the gavel, signaling the end of the auction. A waiter came up to contact those who had photographed the exhibits and asked them to go backstage to check out and hand over the exhibits.
Qin Shiou doesn¡¯t need to move. Wei Ni has her bank card with her. She can handle this kind of thing.
Next came the free time. Yan Donglei led a large group of Chinese people to find Qin Shiou. As soon as they met, someone said to him: "Congratulations, Xiao Qin, you are the big winner of this auction. Your move is really heroic. You are worthy of our Newfoundland." The leader of the Chinese people."
Qin Shiou laughed when he heard what the man said in front of him, but he couldn't laugh out loud when he heard what he said next: What the hell is a Chinese leader? When did he become the Chinese leader in Newfoundland? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
