"This is a work of art provided by Chinese painter Mr. Liu Chengzong, called "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", which is a reappearance of life in the Song Dynasty in China. It is called the Song Dynasty encyclopedia, with a starting price of 4,500 Canadian dollars..." Bai Glove said in a passionate voice.

His voice fell, and Qin Shiou raised the brochure in his hand, "4,600 Canadian dollars."

Hamley thought for a moment and said, "The Song Dynasty was a long-standing dynasty, right? Is this painting a fake?"

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Of course it is a fake. The real paintings of this painting are not fully included. If they are genuine, how could it be 4,500 Canadian dollars or more than 45 million Canadian dollars! That is our national treasure!"

He wanted to take this painting, but the villa lacked decorations, only some ferocious fossils. The Qingming Festival Shanghe Map is big and beautiful enough, and it is good to hang it as an ornament.

Moreover, this painting was obviously copied by this compatriot named Liu Chengzong. Although it is a fake, it is not something that is shoddy from the factory, and it still has certain artistic value.

Most of the people present are well-off families and are here to show their love. By the way, see if they can come across something they like.

Chinese antiques and art have always been the indicators of the collection industry. There is no doubt that many people are very interested in this super long scroll.

As a result, the raised arms rose one after another, and the price rose all the way, from 4,500 yuan to 8,000 yuan, setting a current price record.

Qin Shiou kept raising his hand, expressing his determination to take down the painting. When the price reached 8,000 yuan, not many people were still competing with him. Most of them shook their heads and gave up the painting.

Finally, the price rose to 9,200 yuan. Qin Shiou directly increased to 10,000 yuan, and one competitor left shrugged and gave up the bidding, nodded at him from a distance, congratulating him on winning the painting.

White gloves hit the table with the wooden hammer in their hands, OK. The deal was completed for 10,000 yuan.

Everyone around shook hands with Qin Shiou. This time, it was not to celebrate him, but to thank him for his contribution to charity.

After the auction of this "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" ends, the auction will be suspended and everyone will rest.

Hamley patted Qin Shiou on the shoulder and signaled him to come with him, and found a small prayer room. Only two people sat in it, and then the mayor asked straight to the point: "Do you remember my promise to you before the mayor election?"

Of course Qin Shiou remembered that he said with a smile: "Let the farewell island become my private island?"

Hamre corrected: "It's not to be, it's similar."

Qin Shiou shrugged and said that he understood, "Of course I remember. Then what can you do? Sell me the right to use it?"

Hamre smiled and said, "You have lived on the island for a long time and you should have known enough about the island, right?"

"In fact, saying goodbye to the island is a small world independent of the land. The residents only care about their lives. They don't care about the politics, military, and economics at the national and even the provincial and municipal levels."

"I am the mayor, and I feel more clearly about all this. When I was on the island, I felt that the island belonged to me, so I worked so hard to develop and build her."

"If you want to own this island, Qin, I will give you a suggestion. First, you become the mayor of the town, and then slowly invest in all the business of the island. As far as I know, you are already doing this, right? In this way, when the island's regime and economy belong to you, wouldn't it be equivalent to the island's belonging to you?"

"Do you want to be the mayor? This requires public elections. And I have the right to nominate. I believe that if I nominate you as the mayor, then you are the mayor!"

Hamre finished speaking. Qin Shiou's spirit was concentrated. He looked at Hamre in confusion and said, "Are you serious?"

"Of course. I have to say one thing seriously when I fulfill my commitment to my biggest financial supporter!"

Qin Shiou rubbed his hands and looked directly at Hamre and said, "Why do I have a feeling that we are colluding to seek power and usurp the power?"

"Did you watch ghost things like "Mission: Impossible", "House of Cards", "The Fall of the White House" last night? It's really awesome, Qin, we are giving advice for the development of the town, saying that we should seek power and usurp the power!" Hamre looked angry.

In fact, Hamre’s idea really touched Qin Shiou!

He has no interest in saying goodbye to the town mayor, but if he can control the power of the town, then infiltrate the economy, and finally bid farewell to the island, it will really become his private garden.

Of course, the people in the town can make money better, 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 run a grocery store, and he and Sagro work together to run a gun store, most of the people in the town don’t have much money, so he can invest in a joint venture to expand his business.

After a quick lingering in his heart, Qin Shiou said, "I am interested, William, but am I qualified to run for the mayor of the town?"

Hamre raised his index finger and said, "In just one year, Newfoundland's political environment is the most relaxed. As long as you immigrate for one year, you can run for the 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 small peasants, which is related to his family. Chinese peasants all hope to have a land where they can make their own decisions.

After all, Qin Shiou felt insecure. He was worried that he would say goodbye to the island in the future and come to a mayor who would not deal with him. That would be troublesome. He invested too much resources in the fishing ground and had to ensure the full ownership of the fishing ground.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly. Qin Shiou returned to the church. He still raised the sign for auction later. He gave a good price and got a bunch of things that were probably not needed.

The last auction item, called "Mysterious Seven Days", took out the seven exquisite black pearls brought by Qin Shiou, first boasted with various praises, and then introduced the donor, Qin Shiou.

Seven black pearls were photographed from all angles, and now they are placed on the background curtain of the church. In the clear photos, the black pearls appear purer and darker, with a faint luster. When they appear in the church, they do have a mysterious smell.

Qin Shiou stood up to greet him, and thunderous applause sounded at the scene. Bai Glove said: "This amazing fishing master, alone, held up the half-auction. God blessed him and God blessed him! Every good person will take him as an example!"
