Chapter 153: Picking up the Leakage of Heavenly Dynasty Antiques
Felix carefully opened the lockbox in front of William, put on white gloves, and carefully took out a square milky white jade seal and placed it on the table in front of William.
William took the gloves and curiously picked up the jade seal and carefully examined it, the first thing that caught his eye was the four words of Nine Dragons and the Treasure of the Son of Heaven on the jade seal, seeing that this made William look a little nervous, after getting Felix's affirmative answer, William's excited breathing was a little messy, this is the Han Dynasty Seal that has been lost.
William's voice trembled a little as he spoke, and he asked, "Is this true?"
Seeing that William was so excited, Felix nodded and said, "Of course, Mr. Devon Hill, this is a mortgage from a customer of the National Bank of France in the bank a month ago.
This customer had to sell the family collection because of the stock market crash, this jade seal is the best antique in this collection, the price is 20 million US dollars,
After learning of this, Mr. Grace spent more than a month looking for the best appraisal agencies in Europe to jointly appraise it, and only after signing and confirming it did he ask me to bring it to you, he thought that you would definitely be interested in this jade seal of the Great Celestial Empire."
"Of course, of course I'm interested, this is a national treasure", William stroked the nine dragons on the jade seal and was secretly happy in his heart, these foreigners really don't know the goods, if this jade seal really gets back to the Great Celestial Empire, there is no offer of hundreds of millions of dollars, don't even think about looking at it.
William took a deep breath, carefully put the Han Chuan State Seal back into the lockbox and said, "How much, how much money do I need to have it."
Felix smiled and said, "As a gift, Mr. Grace is in charge, you only need to pay $16 million to have it."
Hearing that it was only 16 million US dollars, William signed a check from the National Bank and handed it to Felix without thinking about it, "Help me keep it in the National Bank first, I will notify you to send it back to Oxford Castle after I am done this time, and you can notify me about the treasures and antiques of the Great Celestial Empire in the future, and thank President Grace for me."
Felix took the check and put it in his pocket without even looking at it, "No problem, Mr. Devon Hill, it is very easy for you to buy antiques from the Celestial Empire at this time, many collectors in Europa are waiting for money, and the price may be about half of the bottom,
This time, there are many treasures of the Celestial Empire antiques among the antiques that the French customer took out together, and the bank also has a lot of antiques from the Celestial Empire mortgaged by the customer, if you are interested, we can charter a flight directly to Switzerland."
"No problem, of course I'm interested in taking a look, let's go, Felix, let's go now", William said with a smile on his face.
Ambrosio heard William say that he was leaving, glared at Felix fiercely, and hurriedly said, "Wait, dear, aren't we talking about the house on the Upper East Side today?
William was in a good mood at this time, thinking that this jade seal alone would be able to buy a dozen or twenty houses of 369 square meters in New York in a few years
And at this time, a house in New York was not a necessity for him, and he wanted to buy a house just to invest and have a place to live in New York.
Seeing that Ambrosio, who was full of anxiety, stepped forward and hugged his girlfriend and said: "Honey, what I'm going to do is the right thing, you can go and see the house on the Upper East Side and the manor on Long Island first, if you see it, just tell me, I'll sign the check directly."
"Okay, then I'll tell you which one I like, I'll have to look at all the dozen houses in the past two days."
"OK, I'll ask Felix to arrange someone to show you the house, they will accompany you all the way, you can tell the bank if you have any needs, they will meet all your requirements, right, Felix"
William turned to look at Felix.
Felix smiled and nodded hurriedly, "No problem, Mr. Devon Hill, I promise our staff will help Miss Ambrosio make the arrangements."
Ambrosio, who thought that he would be able to live in a mansion in New York in the future, did not drag William away anymore, and after seeing William away in a happy mood, he followed the bank staff and the real estate consultant who came over to see the house.
The group drove the first stop of the limousine directly to the $35 million penthouse suite on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Ambrosio stood on the balcony of the suite on the top of the 26th floor, looked at the Central Park opposite the house and nodded with satisfaction, she was very satisfied with the location and decoration of this house, and muttered in her heart how to get William to agree to buy this house,
Thinking about it, his face slowly turned red, and he thought in his heart that if William agreed to buy this house, then William would not be unable to agree to some fitness poses that William wanted her to do.
Ambrosio was satisfied, but if William had come along this time, he would not have bought the house, because a few kilometers away from the house there was a strangely shaped mansion standing tall among the high-rises.
William, who was all about the antiques of the Celestial Empire, had no idea that he might regret it in a short time.
After Ambroshua promised him some professional gym poses, William didn't think much about it, and agreed to buy the Upper East Side house.
Shaking his head and smiling, he kept his phone away from his ear, listened to Ambrosio's scream of joy, and after a moment of reassurance, William hung up.
It took more than ten hours to rush to Switzerland, and as soon as I got off the plane, I saw the vice president of the National Bank, Qiang Grace, standing on the tarmac with a smile on his face and waiting for William.
The two greeted each other with a pleasant hug, and Grace and William rode in the same car to the National Bank.
In the bank's reception room, Jon Grace introduced William to five or six experts in the antiques of the Celestial Empire, and after everyone got to know each other, Jon Grace took William and the experts to a vault under the bank.
Felix had called the National Bank before he left New York yesterday, so the bank had prepared a lot of treasures and antiques from the Celestial Empire yesterday, such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and jade.
William: He himself did not understand antiques, so he only picked those things that he had heard of and felt were eye-catching in the presentations of several experts.
What Tang Bohu, the official kiln of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Hetian jade of the Ming Dynasty, picked and chose more than 20 antiques for a few hours, and after the National Bank showed William the appraisal contract jointly issued by several major appraisal agencies in Europa, William signed a check for 18 million US dollars to Qiang.
After arranging the storage of antiques, William took the charter flight back to New York with some unfinished business, and when he parted, he deliberately explained to Felix who sent him off again and again to let Felix pay attention to the antiques of the Celestial Empire that would be mortgaged in the bank in the future.
He easily harvested more than 20 pieces of antiques that could be sold for tens of millions of Celestial Empire coins in the future so easily this time, which made him quickly understand that the price of Celestial Empire antiques in Europa at this time was still very low, as long as he waited for more than ten years, the price would rise more than ten times and dozens of times.
This allowed William, who had spare money in his hands, to not only fulfill the antique dream of his previous life, but also make a lot of money.
This made William suddenly interested in the Templar treasure that Henry had left him, and he was a little eager to find the ship called Sherlock.
