Golden Fishery

  The verification of this statue was faster than the identification picture. Krzyzewski took a comprehensive picture and sent it back to the company, then took a little copper foam and tested it with the carbon 14 meter he brought.

  The result measured by the machine is that the statue was from the mid-16th century. Seeing this result, Krzyzewski said firmly: "Congratulations, Mr. Qin, you may have the most valuable statue this year!"

  In fact, because of the counterfeit "Sunflower", Qin Shiou was mentally prepared that these paintings were worthless. Even if this Picasso's portrait turned out to be a fake, he could even face it calmly.

   But now that he got this result, he really couldn't keep his mind: this statue that he saw as a copper that could not sell for hundreds of dollars, turned out to be an antique worth 30 million, and the 30 million was still Canadian dollars!

Knowing what he was thinking, Krzyzewski’s unsmiling face showed a smile, and he said: “If this "Perseus and Medusa" statue is not rusty due to poor preservation, it may be worth it. Mention another ten million. You may not know that this statue is the greatest work of all of the most famous Italian sculptors in the 16th century, Mr. Lini!"

  Qin Shiou really doesn’t understand this. What he understands is that he has really become a rich generation...

  After the appraisal was over, Krzyzewski and others did not leave, because the general manager of the Ritchie auction house took the experts from the sculpture department to set off on the same day, and will rush to the fishing ground tomorrow to finalize the authenticity of the statue.

  In addition, Krzyzewski told Qin Shiou that their company hopes to cooperate with him to obtain the right to auction the statue and these paintings.

  Qin Shiou was a little hesitant. Although Ricci's auction house is not small, it is actually more famous for mechanical auctions. As for cultural relics and works of art, Sotheby's and even Soth are more reliable than auction houses.

  Krzyzewski was not a salesman. He saw Qin Shiou’s embarrassment, so he smiled and did not mention the topic again, but began to talk about these paintings and statues.

  According to Krzyzewski’s speculation, the pair of "The Woman with the Golden Drum" should have been bought by Pinarang from Picasso through a friend, specifically for learning. There was a period when Pinarang's abstract painting skills advanced by leaps and bounds, and perhaps he was inspired by Picasso's original works.

  What he was curious about was, where did he get this statue of Qin Shiou?

Qin Shiou pushed the source of these things to his mysterious second grandfather. Auerbach helped him speak, saying: "Qin Hongde is an amazing man. He was once an ally during World War II. The person in charge of the military naval transport team in Newfoundland, I think, he may have obtained it during that special period."

  Qin Shiou is dizzy, his second grandfather is so famous?

  In the evening, I invited the three of Krzyzewski to have a meal. The meal was set at the restaurant of Papa Hickson. They enjoyed an original Newfoundland meal and tasted the local ice wine, which is famous all over the world.

   Drinking so dizzy, Qin Shiou went back to the bedroom and lay down, his consciousness transferred to the ocean again.

  The underwater world is still a bit desolate. His consciousness is walking in the sandy land of the flat seabed. He has not seen life for a long time, and there is a kind of sadness.

  What is the reason that a once prosperous fishing ground has become a submarine cemetery today? Qin Shiou vowed that he would use the money he got after the auction to improve the fishing ground and make it come back to life.

  Consciousness shifted to the pink coral, the cup sponge was slowly swaying around, he felt it, the vitality of the cup sponge was no longer a problem, which made Qin Shiou finally relieved.

  As a result, he looked at the corals carefully and found that things were not so good. He didn't pay attention yesterday. In fact, the situation of the corals is even worse!

  Among the surrounding corals, there is only a live coral with an area of ​​about five or six square meters, half of which is pink and the other half is light yellow. There are corals on the periphery, but they are all gray-white coral stones.

  These coral stones are formed by the aggregation of coral corpses.

  This piece of living coral, the more it goes around, the lighter the color and the lighter the breath of life. If you only feel the middle position, the corals are indeed full of vitality. But if you feel the surroundings, the coral is lifeless.

  Recalling the previous experience of rescue cup sponges, Qin Shiou covered his consciousness on this coral, and used the energy contained in his consciousness to protect their lives.

  The miracle happened. As we all know, the formation of a coral takes many years, because the corals are very small. Although they continue to reproduce, they are also constantly dying.

However, at this moment, pink polyps and light yellow polyps suddenly began to reproduce wildly. The corals spread to the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye. In only two minutes, five or six square living corals expanded to a full ten squares in size. Space!

  Qin Shiou was also exhausted like never before. He immediately withdrew from consciousness and fell into a coma.

  In the past two days, Qin Shiou woke up on time at 6 o'clock in the morning. This time he slept more than 8 o'clock and was only woken up when the little squirrel knocked on the window.

  The body was exhausted like never before, and Qin Shiou was helpless. It seemed that the energy of his consciousness could not be abused, otherwise his life would be in danger.

  Qin Shiou opened the window and put two little squirrels in. The latter looked at his exhausted look, then turned around and ran out together. Back again, the little squirrels sent two pine nuts.

What the little squirrel did made Qin Shiou’s heart warm up. He held the two in his hand and kissed him, and found that the other little squirrel was a female, and laughed immediately, rubbing Xiao Ming’s head with his finger. Said: "Frankly explain, is it premature love?"

  Xiao Ming stretched out his pink tongue, licked his fingers, picked up the pine nuts and screamed and handed them to him.

  Qin Shiou knocked on the pine nuts and smiled: "Bribery is useless. You talk about the object at such a young age? Are you trying to **** me off? I'm already twenty-six or seven and have no daughter-in-law."

  The female squirrel looked at him quietly, Qin Shiou thought for a while, and said: "Well, you will be called Xiao Hong from now on, Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong are a natural pair."

  The female squirrel's fur is much redder than Xiao Ming, and it is a standard North American red squirrel.

  Take two little squirrels to watch TV and have breakfast together. At noon, the expert group of Ricci's auction house rushed in mighty.

Qin Shiou carried the bronze sculpture down, and when he saw him carrying the statue like a bucket, Krzyzewski’s eyes were almost glaring. At this time, a middle-aged thirty-something elegant middle-aged man with glasses next to him The man smiled and said, "Mr. Qin has great power."

Hearing this, Qin Shiou suddenly remembered a problem that he hadn't noticed recently. His strength seemed to have grown a lot. In fact, the bronze statue was solid and weighed 70 or 80 kilograms, but he held it in his hand. It feels light and relaxed, as if to mention seven or eight catties.

  He guessed that this should also be related to the Seagod’s Heart.

  Auerbach introduced him to him. The elegant middle-aged man is Robert Black IV, the general manager of Ricci's auction house.

  Before, Qin Shiou had already understood that Blake is a famous family in eastern Canada. They control the Brinell Consortium, one of Canada’s eight largest consortia, and have a lot of energy.

"You can call me Little Black. My friends call me like that, Xiao Bu." Robert Black IV took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile while shaking hands. "Mr. Qin is really young and promising. At your age, I still spend my parents’ money to pursue beautiful girls."

  With a few words, Little Black has gotten closer to Qin Shiou.

  Qin Shiou made coffee for everyone, and Xiao Blakela started chatting with him, starting with the Forbidden City and the Badaling Great Wall. After learning that his hometown was Dongshan Province, he began to talk about Confucian and Mencius culture and Confucianism.

   is worthy of being the general manager of a well-known auction house. Little Blake knows the chatting skills very well. He only said that he has a little understanding of these topics, mainly to ask Qin Shiou for advice, and he praised the latter in a few words.

  Auerbach smiled and said nothing. This was also an opportunity for Qin Shiou to grow up, let him see the skills of those upper-class social capitalists.

  The last appraisal sheet came out. After reading it, Little Blake handed it to Qin Shiou. The statue was indeed genuine.

  Qin Shiou still had some questions, and said, “I checked the Internet yesterday. This statue of "Perseus and Medusa" seems to be on the Michelangelo Square in Florida, Italy? Why is there another one here?"

Little Blake smiled and said, "No, no, no, man, that's a fake, that's an imitation. You must know that this statue was created by the engraver Cellini in 1545 on the commission of Grand Duke Cosimo. Two It was lost after a century. Later, people in several parts of Europe claimed to have seen it, but no one has been able to really put it to the public. Now, you have done it."

  Qin Shiou hurriedly said that he was just lucky, and the people around him were not surprised. They saw more auction items, and many people had better luck.

  Little Black coughed slightly. Qin Shiou knew that the topic had come, so he immediately sat down, ready to refuse Ricci's auction house's request.

  There is no doubt that artworks of this value can still be sold at Sotheby’s auction houses of that level.

"Mr. Qin, you know that our company has been focusing on mechanical auctions and has achieved mediocre achievements in artworks. But at the beginning of the year, our board of directors unanimously decided that the company will transform to the direction of artworks, so I hope that you will be able to auction The glory of these artworks bestows on our company."

“I know that Sotheby’s and Sotheby’s auction houses are more suitable for these artworks, but now it’s less than half a month away from the spring auction. You should understand that the value of art is directly proportional to the investment in publicity. I think if you It’s not a good price to send it to the spring auction now."

  "If our company can obtain the auction rights, then I assure you that we will use all our strength to promote these works of art, including Mr. Pinarang’s paintings."

"In addition, the international practice of art auction commission is 12%. If you are willing to hand it over to us for auction, then we are willing to reduce the commission to 5%; and, I think you may be urgently short of funds to operate the fishery. You pay 10 million Canadian dollars in cash!"

  Qin Shiou was silent for a while, and the deal was done!

  &Amp;&&& Dear book friends, tomorrow is Monday, I hope you can support the bullet case, collect it, recommend it, and we will start to make the list from next week. The bullet shell is now a newcomer, and the fishery is also a new book. How far we can go depends on how far we can go!
