Chapter 121 Christie’s Auction

"No fight, no fight!"

Qin Xiao waved his hand and threw the Tang Dao to the ground.

"Unless you're so fast that you can't react, I won't be able to break through your shield. But it's so fun. I've never tried to chop so many knives in one go!"

"Actually, you are much better today than last time. I almost couldn't keep up with you when you changed your moves several times. But you know, you need to change the direction when you change your moves. My shield only needs to be lightly swung left and right or up and down." ”

Captain America is right. If you use a shield to defend, you will naturally have a certain advantage. Especially if you control your body shape well, the shield can block almost half of your body.

"How's it going, Captain? How was your experience in Africa the past two days? Terrorists are very cruel, right?"

A few days ago, the captain took Alexie to Africa and eliminated an illegal armed force entrenched in eastern Africa that had been arresting young local men for mining diamond mines for a long time.

"Alexey was too reckless. He didn't follow the pre-arranged battle plan and almost accidentally injured those innocent miners!"

Speaking of this, the captain was a little helpless. Alexei pestered the captain to follow him, otherwise the captain actually wanted to drag Qin Xiao along.

"Hahaha!"

Qin Xiao knew how unreliable Natasha's nominal father was.

"Don't worry, I gave them a sum of money. He and Melina are going to take Yelena and Antonia to travel around the world. Go up and follow you. He probably wants to compete with you in his heart."

"You know, when he first became a super soldier, he was called Captain of the Soviet Union!"

Of course the captain knew what this meant. In the history of the world after the end of World War II, he made up for it ruthlessly.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with Antonia?"

The captain has been at the base for a while and has heard Antonia’s story.

"The psychiatrist said that she should go out more often and see the outside world. Although Alexei is very unreliable, I believe he can make up for part of Antonia's lack of fatherly love!"

"Also, for the diamond mine in Africa, we will arrange for people to mine it. After recovering the cost of the equipment, we will only charge some management fees. The rest of the money earned will help them build schools and hospitals locally. The rest, All will be distributed to each family according to a certain proportion, don’t worry!”

The captain smiled and nodded. In these aspects, Qin Xiao and Tony were much more thoughtful than he thought.

Money in this world basically means nothing to Qin Xiao. It turns out that the resources controlled by the Red House are astronomical, and Qin Xiao also learns to spend the money slowly and rationally.

For example, there was an auction some time ago, which included several ancient Chinese antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Qin Xiao took pictures of everything and sent them back through the Chinese embassy here.

This time, Christie's held another auction at the Grand Palais in Paris, France.

At this auction, there are two important Chinese treasures, the rat head and the rabbit head from the twelve zodiac animals.

The twelve zodiac animal heads, a set of twelve, were originally placed in Chinese royal gardens as ornamental timers. The twelve zodiac animal heads were arranged in a circle.

Arranged according to the twelve hours, there will be a corresponding animal head spraying water continuously at each hour. At noon, there will be a spectacular scene of twelve animal heads spraying water together.

It is a pity that due to some historical reasons, the twelve beast heads have been scattered all over the world, and they have not been collected yet. Qin Xiao must not let go.

In addition to these two national treasures, there is also a large final object, which is said to be from China. Christie's has been very mysterious this time, and even the photos of this lot have not been leaked.

"How's it going? Are you still wondering what the last auction item is? It's about to start. You'll find out soon."

Tony has never been very interested in this kind of auction. If he has something he likes, he always asks Pepper to come forward.

So this time Natasha came with Qin Xiao.

"I don't know. I feel weird today. I feel panicked. I don't know if it's my period!"

Qin Xiao lowered his head and muttered.

Natasha smiled and pinched Qin Xiao.

"Then go back and tell me what it feels like. I haven't been here yet!"

As the two chatted without a word, the auction officially began.

Qin Xiao is not very interested in celebrity calligraphy and painting, or antiques.

He kept holding Natasha and chatting quietly.

Until the twelve zodiac bronze heads were carried up.

The first item to be auctioned was a rat head.

"The auction item below originated from the mysterious China. It was designed by the Italian painter Castiglione more than 200 years ago, supervised by Frenchmen, and made by the royal craftsmen of China..."

Although everyone knows the origin of the twelve zodiac animal heads, the auctioneer still gave a detailed introduction on the stage.

"The starting price for this lot is 3 million euros, and each bid increase must not be less than 200,000 euros. Start now!"

The auctioneer said as he dropped the hammer to announce the start of the rat head auction.

"3 million! No. 121 bids 3 million first!"

At the beginning of the auction, Qin Xiao was not in a hurry to bid, but waited for the price to slowly increase before leaving a few real competitors.

Soon, the price of the rat head was raised to a high price of 8 million euros.

The number of people participating in the meeting gradually began to decrease, and Qin Xiao raised his placard.

"10 million!"

With a price increase of 2 million, Qin Xiao gave people the feeling that he was bound to win as soon as he made the move.

The auctioneer below also exclaimed.

"10 million, No. 66 bid 10 million, and increased the price by two million in one go. It seems that Mr. Qin is determined to win this lot."

"Recently, Mr. Qin has frequently taken action at major auctions and recovered many cultural relics from China. I personally admire Mr. Qin's national sentiments very much, but the auction must continue. Is there anyone who bids higher than Mr. Qin? "

The auctioneer babbled a lot, all of which were to arouse anger, slow down the hammer drop, and try to raise the price as much as possible.

In response, Qin Xiao just frowned slightly and said nothing.

"I'll pay 11 million euros!"

Sure enough, after the auctioneer talked a lot of nonsense, a bidder with number 146 raised his placard.

Qin Xiao glanced at the bidder. Like himself, he had black hair and dark skin.

Are they Chinese?

"He is Japanese, his name is Hishiguchi Yasuhei. He is the eldest son of Hishiguchi Shunsuke, the major shareholder of Hishiguchi Heavy Industries in Japan. Their family has an extremely deep background in the Japanese military and the underworld, which is equivalent to Stark Industries in the United States. status."

Natasha knew what Qin Xiao was thinking and quickly explained softly in his ear.
