Wall Street Legend

Little Brook III is in urgent need of money now. He is going to invest in building the world's top racecourse. The investment is not small. It is difficult to make a success without hundreds of millions of pounds. It will cost a lot just to purchase purebred racing-level stallions. It costs a lot of money, and the subsequent feeding and training also costs a lot of money.

Compared with these things, he undoubtedly hopes to use the funds where he likes. Hearing Ye Dongqing say it was cheaper, he nodded and agreed without saying a word.

There is a room full of treasures, and it takes at least a few minutes to identify each one. Occasionally, they gather together to communicate and discuss. After they are identified as fine products, they are placed on a blanket. Several people from the castle are supervising them, for fear of being taken away. Something was broken, or something was damaged.

Zhao Liuli was already dozing off, while Laura was walking around boredly. There was a musty smell in the air in the basement, which she didn't like very much.

Time passed like this minute by minute, until noon, I had just finished reading one shelf, and there were nine ten-story long wooden shelves, all of which were densely packed with porcelain, mixed with some bronze wares, lacquerware, etc.

Ye Dongqing also got impatient and asked, "I'll treat you all to dinner at noon. Let's go find a restaurant together, or should I buy some for you?"

A Forbidden City expert surnamed Qiu had forgotten that Ye Dongqing was his employer. He waved his hand casually and said, "You can eat anything, just make do with it. I'm not hungry yet."

The slightly fat expert was good at dealing with people. He raised his head and showed a smile: "There are a lot of good things here. I can't clean them out in two or three days. According to me, it's better to collect them all. It's enough to open a museum." .

Those foreign devils back then were poisonous in their eyes, and they also had bastards to help as staff. They were not willing to ship anything good and bring it back. We have already seen many official kilns in the palace. It seems that Marshal Seymour came from the north. I got a piece of the pie, and I shouldn’t have been here in the first place. For example, the dragon chair uses at least two tons of golden nanmu. It may be placed in a private royal garden. Although it is inconspicuous now, if you rub some oil on it, it will immediately sparkle with gold. There are many things with big doors. It is absolutely real. , in my opinion, they all have some collection value. "

Ye Dongqing was just idle and bored, so he asked someone to check on the Navy Marshal of the Seymour family.

I learned that this guy had participated in the war in China before the Second Opium War, and he was seen in several battles of Dagukou later. When Cixi fled westward in a hurry, he was in the south. Judging from the time point, if there was no one To honor him, you really shouldn't get so many items from the palace.

The reason why I pay attention to these things is mainly to determine the origin of the things and prevent them from being deceived by scammers. Whether it is people from the British Museum, appraisers from Sotheby’s auction house, or experts from the Forbidden City, they have concluded The conclusions are very consistent. Most of them are real things, and they are of high quality. For example, the three-color Tang Sancai horse I saw just now. There are two more pieces here, the ice-cracked porcelain from Ge Kiln and the jade Ruyi that the emperor played with. There are others, and there are even a few seals taken from the palace.

Touching his chin at this moment, he was thinking about whether he should bleed. The building would not be built for a while, and Tamsui Investment Group's books were quite comfortable. Suddenly he turned his head and asked the old housekeeper: "Where is Little Brooke III? I have I want to talk to him face to face about the business. In addition, please help me bring some pizza, hot dogs, sandwiches, etc., as well as cups and purified water."

"Okay sir, I will help you make arrangements now. He is upstairs. I will ask him to come down to you."

The old butler's tone was calm. The racists of those days have become old. In fact, he despises these bottles and jars from the East. He knows they are worth some money, but this old butler prefers Western art, valuable oil paintings, Jewelry and other items are stored in the bank, so how could they be stored directly in this basement.

When I see someone wanting to buy it, I wish I could just exchange it for money. Recently, because of the lack of money, banks have sent people to come to your door to press for repayment. Moreover, it is difficult to maintain. It will take nearly a week just to clean it. A little is better.

These days, few people think that the Chinese antique market can become popular. The most popular items among auction houses are oil paintings and sculptures by top Western masters, as well as jewelry. No one except Ye Dongqing knows that there will be auctions soon. Chinese Yuan blue and white porcelain sold for tens of millions of pounds. 2004 was considered the last wave of market trough. When China's economy continues to rise, Chinese people will become high-rollers in major auctions.

Without increasing the value space, Ye Dongqing thinks it's pretty good and can buy it, so that's fine.

Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, he walked up the steps step by step and left the basement. Laura was beside him, helping to brush off the conspicuous dust on the black suit. He was considered a handsome man and a good-looking woman, and many people looked in their direction. look.

Especially those at the auction house were very afraid at the moment, fearing that they would be at a disadvantage when competing with Ye Dongqing and that he would buy the good things away. They made a good calculation and prepared to stock up a batch of goods at a low price and wait until later. If you go out slowly and earn the price difference and handling fees, you will definitely not lose money.

There were also people who came over with a smile to say hello and invited Ye Dongqing to visit their auction site. In just a few minutes, they received a stack of business cards, and they almost lined up to hand them over to Ye Dongqing. There were two of them. There were more than ten pictures of two bodyguards staring at this group of people from left to right, with a strong momentum.

It feels good to be taken seriously.

Since the second half of last year, he has rarely appeared in public. He only travels, holds parties with young people, stays in the company to deal with things, or goes to inspect business, so that he is suddenly so popular, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Compared with several social celebrities at Google who travel around the world for financing and road shows, Ye Dongqing is indeed a bit more low-key. He is thinking about what to do after finishing the things at hand and figuring out the management structure of each company. You shouldn't participate in more social activities to pave the way for future financing. With your current strength, you won't be marginalized no matter what occasion you go to.

The old housekeeper led them into Little Brook's study. The atmosphere was relatively classical, with dark red wood all around. All kinds of exquisite porcelain were placed in the cabinets, which looked like good things.

"Have you selected it? I'll ask someone to help evaluate the price. I can complete the transaction with you at any time."

"No, no, no, they are still looking at it. There are a lot of things. Most of them are just ordinary historical relics with some commemorative significance. My appraiser is selecting things that satisfy me.

Now, I want to talk to you about the price. I hope to buy all the artworks you have here. Maybe you can quote me a price. If I think it is suitable, the check will be on me. You can also trade in pounds... "
