Chapter 59: It's such extravagance and inhumanity

In the conversation that followed, Arthur got some knowledge about copyright and copyright protection from Jerry Fuller, to be honest, he knew that Britain and the United States had a very strong level of copyright protection, but he didn't expect it to be so strict.

As we all know, the first country in the world to enact copyright law was the United Kingdom. The protection of the original author in the UK in terms of copyright in works can be described in two words, strict and simple.

Any work created in the United Kingdom, by a British national or resident in the United Kingdom will be protected, not only for commercial use without my consent, but if you are for personal entertainment, your use without the author himself will also constitute infringement, unless you are conducting academic research and personal study use, only these two points can not violate copyright law.

I have to say that this kind of protection is definitely the most powerful support and backing for creators and artists!

After informing lawyer James Cronin and the head of the publishing house, Tom White, and handing over the matter to the two of them to discuss the details of the contract, Arthur did not stay in Southampton, but got into the car back to Boleyn Manor near noon.

The film and television rights of "Boleyn Manor" seem to have a home, and it may be time to give an answer to those publishers who have taken a fancy to "Gray's Fifty Shades。。。。。。

In the carriage, Arthur leaned comfortably on the back of his seat, thinking about the question of 'making money God', he kept pressing and did not reply to those publishers who contacted by private messages, undoubtedly in order to accumulate brewing influence and maximize the use of the publicity effect of the Internet, which would allow him to have a big enough advantage in negotiations with publishers, take the initiative, and obtain greater benefits.

At the moment, it seems that the effect is outstanding. And as the plot progresses, if you continue to update it for free, his interests will also be affected somewhat.

While Arthur was thinking about how to choose a publishing house, Paul, the butler who was driving, suddenly pulled over, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and answered the call.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Okay, I see, I'll be waiting for you on time, see you that afternoon, goodbye. ”

After the butler Paul hung up the phone, he turned back to Arthur, who was looking at him, and reported, "Earl, the people from the auction house will arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Hmm. Arthur nodded slightly, the plan couldn't catch up with the rapid change, he had originally made an appointment to meet with the person from David Auction House in the morning, but he was disrupted by a sudden call from dU Li TV station, but fortunately, the other party was not unhappy because of the change of meeting time, and it seems that the other party is also very much looking forward to the good things that his old nobleman came up with.

Thinking of this, the corners of Arthur's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he was also looking forward to the meeting in the afternoon.

Back to Boleyn Manor, after a short rest, began to enjoy his lunch, now everyone in Boleyn Castle knows that their own earl is very important to lunch, never fooled, this is different from the weak lunch culture in England, you know, Britain and the United States are popular with the saying 'lunch is for the incompetent', which shows their attitude towards lunch.

However, Arthur has been accustomed to the lunch habit for more than 20 years, how can Arthur easily change, as the owner of the castle, an earl, how can he be wronged, not only to make the castle pay attention to lunch, but also to strive for a hearty and delicious taste, which is also an important change brought by him, the new earl.

Eat like an emperor for breakfast, like a nobleman for lunch, and eat like a beggar for dinner.

Now it seems that this sentence, which is used by many people to praise the dietary rules of Westerners, feels that it is a very lofty sentence, and it is simply a sentence made by the people of the Celestial Empire themselves.

Hehe, some people just think that the moon in foreign countries is roaster, the water is sweeter, and the electricity bill is cheaper...

Well, as an English earl, it seems that if you complain like this again, you are a bit not human inside and out, ahem. After lunch, Arthur plunged headlong into the study again.

It's not that he is in a hurry to write a novel, but he puts the things he wants to take out for auction on the table one by one, looking at the four albums on the table, 28 square seal stones, three-legged Xuande incense burner, 108 golden pearls, melon ridge ivory bracelets, Mengchen copper beam purple clay pot, carved dragon white jade plaque, and the pair of 'heavy' chisel gilt single-ear vases made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty.

Arthur picked up the carved dragon white jade plate, his fingers gently stroked along the carved lines, sighed at the jade quality and warmth at the same time, but also felt admiration for the superb carving, although Arthur did not have such superb identification ability, but through the jade, you can also guess that the value of this jade plate is extraordinary.

To be honest, the reason why he put everything out this time was that some of them would be taken out for auction, the three things of the melon ridge image tooth bracelet, the golden pearl and the carved dragon white jade plate were to take this opportunity and want the experts of the auction house to help him identify and determine the dynasty.

Collection, you can't collect it in a mess, right?

For the people of the Grand David Auction House, since receiving a call from the butler of the Count of Boleyn and learning that the current earl of the Bolin family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, intends to take out a batch of antiques and hand them over to the auction house for auction, especially the antiques that limit the scope of the Celestial Empire, it is really very important.

For these old aristocratic families, these auction houses have never doubted the heritage of hundreds of years, and some auction antiques that have created sky-high prices are mostly from these noble families.

A team of Asian managers, two senior Celestial Empire antique experts, two assistants and two security guards, and three cars, one of which was still a fully enclosed transport vehicle, drove into the picturesque Boleyn Manor at 1:50 p.m.

Arthur, who heard the news, stood on the steps in front of the main entrance of the castle with his butler Paul, smiling, and greeting the guests from afar.

After the two sides met, a pleasantry was indispensable, and after that, Arthur and the butler Paul led the other five people into the historic Boleyn Castle except for the two security guards in the escort car.

Along the way, the five people of the Grand VeritΓ© auction house were attracted by the historical heritage and luxury of Bolin Castle, whether it was the display cases of various exquisite porcelain, the marble sculptures of various periods displayed in the corridor, portraits and other dazzling antiques, they were deeply shocked and deeply felt the heritage of the Bolin family.

After turning the corner, there is another promenade full of marble carvings.

Walking through such a long corridor, the mood is inexplicably a little depressed, maybe the marble always gives people a cold feeling, or maybe the overwhelming artwork is dizzying.

The 18th-century French chair was placed in the hallway for sitting and resting...

A pastel vase suspected to be from the late Qing Dynasty is placed on a mahogany square table, with flowers inserted...

A 17th-century tower-shaped relief vase with red tulip flowers in a unique design...

An ancient 18th-century Ishahan carpet sits on the floor of the study, ready to be trampled on...

It's really a tyrannical thing, it's just extravagant and inhumane!

Two senior appraisal experts, at the moment in their hearts are simply dripping blood, this is still the tip of the iceberg seen, maybe there are still many precious cultural relics and antiques scattered in this ancient castle, which have been 'abused' into daily necessities, it is simply a 'crime'...

However, they could only watch and complain in their hearts, but at the same time, they were more and more looking forward to seeing such a nobleman come up with something to be auctioned!
