Chapter 1017 1002. Accident (35)

Wang Bo was lucky. After he accepted the price increase, he only added 1.8 million New Zealand dollars, and no one followed him.

The white people who participated in the auction could tell that the three of them Chinese were determined to win the pen washer, and it would cost a lot of money to win the pen washer.

As a result, several people who were interested in brush washing gave up the competition.

Wang Bo heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm really afraid that they will continue to quote. It would be really interesting if I have an enmity with someone because of this."

Yang Zhilong said: "No, as long as we reach their psychological price limit, they will give up bidding. After all, there is no conflict between us. This kind of auction is a way to expand contacts and enhance relationships. What about revenge?"

Ye Qipeng also said: "Unless we have enemies who happen to appear at the auction, there will be no malicious bidding."

Wang Bo thought of a question, and said, "Then why didn't the auction company invite the enemy to the auction? It's easy to get a high price, right?"

Immediately, Yang Zhilong and Ye Qipeng looked at him with weird eyes.

Eva couldn't stand it anymore, and explained: "If the auction does this, it will offend two customers at once. In addition, it will also offend other customers. Everyone is here to search for their favorite artwork, not to watch the battle of revenge .”

All in all, they each got what they needed in this auction, and they all achieved their goals.

Wang Bo paid 1.8 million yuan, but he didn't feel distressed. Ye Qipeng just contributed 2 million yuan in sewer construction funds for Luoyang Town, and he still earned 200,000 yuan back.

But for Yang Zhilong, Wang Bo's contribution is extraordinary.

This can be regarded as the two sides participated in a battle together, won the victory, felt like comrades-in-arms, and the relationship went further.

Huang Tingjian's pen washing is regarded as a Chinese heritage, and after paying the money, Ye Qipeng said that it will be donated to the National Museum, of course in the name of the three.

Wang Bo really needs such a name, so he can be regarded as a patriotic overseas Chinese.

Yang Zhilong thanked him sincerely afterwards, and when he learned that Ye Qipeng was going to Sunset Town for a short vacation, he also took a ride and went to Sunset Town together.

Wang Bo stayed in Wellington, preparing to attend the Anzac Day event the next day.

Anzac Day originated from the Battle of Gallipoli in World War I. It is a common festival between Australia and New Zealand. Every April 25th, the two countries will have a holiday and pay homage to the martyrs.

In the First World War in 1915, the Anzac Army landed at Gallipoli in the Aegean Gulf, but due to navigation errors, the Army landed a mile north of the original location.

The beaches and slopes that the army had expected were unexpectedly turned into the bottom of the precipice, and the result was a favorable position for the few Turkish defenders.

As the Anzacs attempted to gain a foothold, an attack was found impossible. The coalition forces retreated after an eight-month standoff, leaving tens of thousands dead.

Although, in terms of numbers, the Anzacs were only a small part of the 500,000 allied forces at Gallipoli. But considering the population base of the two countries at that time, about one million people of New Zealand participated in the battle overseas. Among all the countries participating in the war, they had the highest casualties and death rates in terms of population.

Australia is also unambiguous, they are the country with the highest casualty rate in this war.

In the early morning, at dawn, Wang Bo changed into a solemn suit and went to the government to meet with the Green Party team.

Eva also wore a black suit, black pantyhose, and an aristocratic women's gauze hat that was very popular in Europe during World War I to pay tribute to the era at that time.

Worship starts at dawn, usually half an hour before sunrise, because the Battle of Gallipoli started at dawn, and the location is at the New Zealand National Cemetery. Everyone forms a parade and then drives to the cemetery together.

Also participating in the event were veterans who had participated in the war, especially the World War II veteran phalanx. These people were the most respected people on the day. They wore retro military uniforms and medals.

The jeeps that the veterans ride in are also exquisite. They are all American Willys jeeps from World War II. I don’t know where the New Zealand government found so many classic cars. Anyway, they formed a queue.

Anzac Day is a big day in New Zealand. The British royal family sent people to participate in the event. The attendees were Princess Eugenie and Hugo Lancaster, whom Wang Bo had met. They came to mourn the deceased on behalf of the royal family warrior.

Speaking of which, the soldiers of Australia and New Zealand were really unlucky. World War I and II had nothing to do with them. It was a war in the northern hemisphere.

It was only because of their relationship with the United Kingdom that they had to send a large number of soldiers to the war. The United Kingdom understood this and specially sent members of the royal family to participate in the commemorative activities.

Wang Bo was the one who had the least sense of belonging among the parade crowd. The number of soldiers and people who died in World War II in China was the largest in the world. He was somewhat interested in commemorating Chinese heroes. As for the martyrs in New Zealand? That has nothing to do with him.

However, he was still called to the front of the parade, because Hugo Lancaster still remembered him, so he was called to have a chat with him.

Except for veterans, everyone walks, and Princess Eugenie is no exception.

Wang Bo bowed to her after seeing her. Princess Eugenie smiled softly and said, "Hello, Mayor Wang, I am very glad to see you again. I hope you and my fiancé can get along well. He is not a A nice person to get along with."

There was a smile on Hugo Lancaster's handsome face, and the lines were a little stiff. He was not very good at showing emotions.

"It's been a long time since we parted. Is Gerrard okay?" Lancaster asked directly.

Wang Bodao: "I think he should be good. He has joined our police team in Sunset Town and performed very well. He is now in charge of training military dogs."

After hearing this, Lancaster showed a much brighter smile than before: "Ha, you are a man of vision, Mayor Wang, Gerald will definitely be qualified for this job, he likes dogs more than..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Bo suddenly noticed some people rushing out of the side alley.

The parade took one of Wellington's main streets, and at the end is the National Cemetery. There are many small roads and alleys on both sides of this street, and these people ran out of one of them.

The timing of their appearance happened to be when the veteran convoy passed the intersection, and dozens of shirtless men rushed into the convoy and raised the flags in their hands.

These people were smeared with paint, their chests and backs were colorful, and some protest slogans were written.

Wang Bo didn't pay attention to see clearly. After he noticed these people appeared, he immediately knew that the parade had encountered problems.

The veterans in front couldn't react in time, someone jumped into a jeep, startling the veterans on it.

Wang Bo rushed up quickly, dragged the big man down, and shouted: "Go back!"
