Different from the previous two desertions, when I came to Blois's house today, there were a few guests, men and women, watching them talk and laugh with Sophie, and the little who pretended to be, obviously some little nobles who did not have a long history and liked to stand up, in comparison, Sophie seemed much more natural and elegant.

Well, the big nobles generally don't come here, except for chasing women.

Chen Dahe's arrival interrupted their chat, and Sophie introduced Chen Dahe to them with a smile, although there was disdain in his eyes that could not be concealed, for the sake of Sophie and the four white strong men behind him, these people still shook hands and greeted them amicably.

Chen Dahe's face was also full of spring breeze, turning a blind eye to their eyes, but he was sighing in his heart, with this little bit of scheming, no wonder it would be mixed to the point that even the Blois family, who had just recovered from his breath, had to make friends.

Seeing that Sophie had a guest arrive, these people quickly got up to say goodbye, and made an appointment with the time and place of the next meeting, before they each walked away, well, most of them also lived in this area.

Inviting the four bodyguards to the side hall to rest, Chen Dahe and Sophie came to the main hall, a slender woman who was about the same age as Sophie was skillfully busy and waiting, Chen Dahe couldn't help but look at Sophie curiously.

Sophie pursed her lips and smiled, her smile now being less formulaic and more amiable than just now.

Then he pointed to the woman and said, "This is Mary, who has been working at home since her grandfather, and who went back to the country last year, and yesterday I asked her to come back again." ”

Maria put her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed slightly, "Hello sir, thank you very much for your help to the Blois family. ”

Chen Dahe knew in his heart that this should be the legendary nobleman's family heirloom butler, so he stood up and saluted back, "Hello, Lady Maria." ”

Sophie covered her mouth and glared at Chen Dahe in a strange manner, "Maria is not married yet." ”

Chen Dahe blushed and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Maria, you're beautiful." ”

Maria smiled, bowed again, and stepped away, not bumping into anything.

Looking at Maria's thin back, Sophie sighed, "I would never see Maria again in my life, but I didn't expect to be able to invite her back." ”

"She's very good," Chen Dahe smiled.

It's really good, although Chen Dahe's own skills are not very good, but he has lived with Guan Sanye Zhenggen for more than half a year, and his eyesight has greatly improved, this Maria should be proficient in martial arts, and kung fu is on those slender legs.

"By the way, why didn't you see Selene?"

"She's going to school," Sophie laughed, "she's missed a lot of classes these days, and she's going to have to make up for it,"

Then he looked at Chen Dahe squarely, "Enzo, the money you gave is no longer enough, after paying off the bank loan, all the other money bought Chinese antiques, and now the money has been spent." ”

"Huh?" Chen Dahe was dumbfounded, "It's only been two days, and it's all gone?"

"Yes," Sophie blinked rarely, and seemed a little playful, "I still owed 600,000 francs to the loan shark, but just the day before yesterday, something happened to the finance company and the building was empty, and the police came to search the place, and I only spent a small amount of money to get back the debt contract through a friend at the police station, so this money was also saved, and it was all used for acquisition, and now it is also spent." ”

"Uh," Chen Dahe was a little confused, "how did you do that?"

Naturally, he didn't ask about usury, the Browns were gone, the trees were scattered, and then the police swept the tail, and it was not difficult to get the IOU back, but Sophie's efficiency surprised him, even if he removed the money to repay the bank, there were more than six million francs left, and it would be spent in two days?!

"It's very simple," Sophie laughs, "I called all my friends I knew and told them I was buying Chinese antiques, and they came in with the antiques and negotiated the price." ”

"In addition, I invited three Chinese antiquities experts from the Guimet Museum to come and cross-examine, and so far, not a single fake has been found, and more than 30 A-grade items have been screened at the same time,"

Speaking of this, Sophie's eyes were full of excitement, "These are all purchased at the price of D-grade or C-grade products, and you need to pay me a reward after you complete the review." ”

That expression was like that of a child begging for candy.

It's easy to say anything about the reward, Chen Dahe now wants to see what Sophie has received in the past two days.

Let's go to the basement of the house first, the originally empty basement is now full of all kinds of things.

Sophie spread out her hands, pointed to the antiques in the room and smiled, "The items above grade B that have been screened out are all here, and I have found a warehouse nearby to store the rest." ”

B-grade is worth more than 5,000 US dollars, which is already a treasure grade, and it can be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars in the next generation, well, here is RMB.

Chen Dahe didn't get started, but just circled around the wooden frame, including the boxes on the ground and the things placed on the big wooden platform, mainly porcelain ornaments, mixed with a lot of calligraphy, paintings and miscellaneous, the initial estimate is two or three hundred, with his half-hung eyes, he can roughly see that these are the collections in the palace, as for how it came about, it is self-evident.

In fact, if he doesn't come to collect it, maybe after a few years when the economic situation improves, the major museums will open their doors at low prices, and these things will also flow into various museums, and if you want to see them, you have to take out real money to buy tickets, and now, these have become his collection.

Coming out of the basement, Sophie took him to the warehouse again, and the four bodyguards followed consciously without greeting him.

The warehouse is very close to here, and it is also within the scope of this aristocratic settlement, boxy like a shelter, listening to Sophie's introduction, this is really a place built by several great nobles during the war to store supplies, and now it is a semi-abandoned state, it didn't cost much to rent it, but it took someone half a day to clean it up.

Of course, there is a reason for the status of Sufi nobility, otherwise ordinary people don't want to rent it for several times the price.

Two people were arranged to guard the door, and when they saw Sophie bringing people over, one of them immediately opened the door of the warehouse, revealing that the lights were bright inside, and Chen Dahe saw rows of neatly placed wooden boxes as soon as he entered the door, and there were three people who looked like young people who were not elementary school people were inspecting one by one, they should be the appraisers invited by Sophie, and after each inspection, they were placed in different places, and the other two people were responsible for putting things back together.

Seeing Sophie, the three of them nodded together, and then continued their work, and an assistant on the side pointed to the three boxes that were placed separately and said, "Madam, these are relatively high value, you can ask someone to take them away and store them separately." ”

Sophie smiled and nodded, "Thank you." ”

When the man walked away, she turned her head to look at Chen Dahe, " These things came from seven sellers, their ancestors were all military officers stationed in the Qing Dynasty, and they collected much more Chinese antiques than the average aristocrat, and now they, like the Blois family, encountered some financial difficulties, so they sold these unappreciated collections, if it wasn't for the art companies and museums we found before, maybe it wouldn't be our turn, and now there are several other families who also want to sell some of their collections, and the people you just saw are one of them, if it weren't for the lack of funds, they could receive more. ”

Chen Dahe looked around, it is estimated that there are hundreds of large boxes here, so it should be more than two thousand items, and if you calculate the price, you really need so much money.

"Why don't you go over and have a look?" said Sophie, pointing to the antiques.

"Let's see later," Chen Dahe pouted, "I have to raise money now, the next acquisition fund, and your commission, and then I have to find a place to store these things, madam, I have to say, your efficiency is too surprising to me." ”

Sophie pursed her lips and smiled, "That's because I'm short of money." ”

This sentence is very straightforward, not Sophie's usual style, most people will only show their true temperament in front of people close to them, obviously Sophie has regarded Chen Dahe as a close person, his most embarrassing side has been seen by him, and he has been helped by him in the most difficult time, so naturally he will not wear a mask in front of him to speak.

Chen Dahe smiled, "Madam, have you calculated how much this commission is?"

Sophie blinked, seeming a little embarrassed, "I'm counting two million dollars." ”

"Huh?" Chen Dahe's mind was a little confused, the commission was more than double the purchase price?

Sophie quickly explained, "According to what you said, the commission for each level of acquisition is less than $300,000, and the rest are rewards for poor grades. ”

Bad-level rewards, so the benefits of picking up leaks are more than six million dollars?!
