"The guns are all used, it's still a small problem. I don't want to go through the situation in the movie "The Fall of London", it's too TM scary. Wu Qian sat up and said a little speechlessly, he looked out the window at the street, and there were people who were just as frightened as he was.

Cooks' expression was relaxed, the vehicle was already far away from the dangerous area where it had happened before, and he said: "BOSS, don't take the plot of the movie seriously, and the target in "The Fall of London" is very clear, it has nothing to do with ordinary people, and it is still safe to stay at home." ”

Cooks's words of comfort were of limited use to Wu Qian, after tonight's events, Wu Qian realized the importance of bodyguards, and he recalled Dwayne Johnson's words, when playing outside, it is best to bring a few bodyguards, which is not bad at all.

It's not that it's dangerous when someone targets you, something unexpected can happen at any time, after all, you don't live alone in a paradise, no matter what kind of social form, there will be unstable factors.

Back at the hotel, Bauer and David were already waiting for Wu in the lobby.

In the Royal Loft Suite, Rosalind downplayed the previous incident to David and Ball, both of whom said it was normal and not surprising. If it weren't for a deliberate attack, the probability of a stray bullet being shot was very low, and with the blocking of the vehicle's steel plates, there was no danger.

Wu Qian really admired the mentality of these bodyguards, in the end, it was the person who shuttled in the rain of bullets, such a small scene is really nothing.

"Not to mention the previous, how is the appraisal going?" Wu Qian washed his face, took a cigar from Rosalind's hand and sat on the sofa, the cigar was provided by the hotel.

Bauer took out a few sticky notes and said, "This is the lot marked today, about 60% of it is screened out, and the appraisal work can be completed as scheduled tomorrow morning." ”

There are three appraisers for each different category, who identify from different latitudes and perspectives, according to Wu Qian's requirements, but if there is a little doubt, it will be ruled out. According to the conservative estimate of the appraiser team, about half of the 60% of the selected lots should be genuine, but if you can't get your hands on it, you can't guarantee it.

Wu Qian took a few puffs of cigar, his mood stabilized a little, and he said: "Give the list to Rosalind, you arrange how to bid for a good look, I won't go to the scene." ”

The four bodyguards were very pleased with Wu Qian's enlightenment, and Kukes, who had very good computer skills, said: "BOSS, I will help you arrange the computer, and when the auction is held, you can see the situation in the auction house through the camera on our body." ”

Then, the four bodyguards sat together and studied some things about the auction, with Rosalind as the main body, teaching the other three some small tricks that they usually used to use, so as to make Wu Qian spend a little less.

Wu Qian was not on the sidelines, he was comfortably bathing in the bathtub.

"I haven't had time to see the two castles yet, so it's not a big problem to go around tomorrow morning, and then find a shooting range to play, and it's not bad to wear a gun on your own in a country where you can carry guns. ”

When Wu Qian returned to the living room after taking a shower, he found that only Rosalind was still looking through the auction catalog, and the other three had already left.

"Rosalind, rest early, tomorrow I want to find a shooting range to play. Wu Qian walked up to Rosalind and said.

Rosalind stood up and said, "Okay, BOSS, I'll arrange it for you." You rest early, I'll go downstairs. ”

Wu Qian turned off the light and returned to the bedroom, lying on the bed suddenly heard a slight sound of running water, he turned his body, it was difficult to sleep, he simply took a box of things from the bedside, got out of bed and walked towards the spiral staircase.

Knock knock.

Wu Qian knocked on the glass door full of moisture, and then pushed the door in. It was useful to knock on the door twice, one was to show gentlemanly demeanor, and the other was not to be knocked unconscious by a gust of wind and fall into the water.

The next day, the sky drifted a light rain, the whole of the United Kingdom is in a typical temperate maritime climate, controlled by the westerly wind belt all year round, the average annual rainfall in London is 600mm, but because there is no source of water vapor for the monsoon and summer monsoon, the rainfall is very scattered, the weather is changeable, and the weather is very common, and most of the time it is light and light rain.

As soon as he got up in the morning, Wu Qian received a call from Yuan Bingqing, saying that the series had been selected, 936 episodes on the ITV side, and 868 episodes on the BBC side, which was a little less than Wu Qian expected. British dramas are generally shorter, and there are almost no TV series with dozens of episodes.

Wu Qian roughly calculated, 1 billion soft girl coins can't be used, this exclusive broadcast copyright fee is simply cheap to grandma's house, and the money is not given now, and the money will be given after the review is completed and determined. Because there may be a certain drama that does not meet the standards and cannot be released, it needs to be replaced temporarily.

At the same time, the rain could not stop the filming team, and the effect of shooting in the rain was unique, so there was no need to wait for a sunny day. Tian Yewang and several team members purchased a batch of raincoats, and the cameraman waterproofed the equipment, and set off directly for the Silverstone Track, everything was as usual.

Bauer and David still need to accompany the team of appraisers to continue the appraisal today, and about a quarter of the artifacts are still unfinished, so they will not delay the auction that will start in the evening.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Wu Qian sat in the back row of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and cursed, for no other reason, he was deceived by the photo, strictly speaking, it was not a photo, because he didn't see the relevant photos at all.

"Yesterday I also said that the Sotheby's team was not good enough to show the beauty of the estate, and that you had to see it with your own eyes to appreciate that beauty. Give me a slap in the face today, it's really speechless. ”

Rosalind felt the enthusiasm of this young man of the Celestial Empire yesterday, and today her face was always a little red and couldn't retreat, and when she heard Wu Qian's complaint, she chuckled lightly and said, "BOSS, this time is really a bit excessive, do you want to complain?"

Before, Wu Qian went to a place called Hesman Castle to see the situation, but he was cautious, and he did not give up "appraising" the castle in advance because of his satisfaction with the manor yesterday, otherwise he would be miserable.

Hersmann Castle covers an area that is not particularly large, but the garden area is not small, the overall area is very large, the lawn of the garden is very well maintained, and it looks very beautiful under the light rain, although the facilities are simple, but it has great shape.

But when Wu Qian wanted to go into the castle for a walk, the reception staff only refused to push back, and finally under Wu Qian's strong request, he finally entered the interior of the castle, and that guy was dumbfounded as soon as he entered.

Suffice it to say, the castle is basically a remnant of the outside, and the interior is worse than empty, with ruined walls and tattered walls, which have not been repaired for at least 50 years, and I don't know how it will be put up at the auction house. It's okay to auction it, so let's hire someone to clean it up a bit, it's really ......

"No wonder there are no interior photos in the auction catalogue, so can you take them? There are still ghosts to buy them, just to buy the land and then spend their own money to repair the castle. I don't complain, let others shoot, and I will find trouble after filming. Hey, hey, it's right!"

When I was looking at the castle in front of Wu just now, there was also a car walking around the garden a few times, perhaps because of the rain, the rich man in the car did not get out of the car and entered the castle to take a detailed look, and it was very likely that he was deceived by the beautiful garden outside the castle of Hersmann.

Wu Qian fell in love with Hesman Castle because he fell in love with the extremely extensive garden, who would have thought that the inside of the castle would be carved like that, he felt that if he punched hard, the castle was about to collapse.

It is impossible to estimate how much it will cost to repair, money is not the most important thing, it is very troublesome to apply for various approvals, even if these troubles are solved by privilege, the time for repairs cannot be saved, even if the number of workers is increased, it is definitely not a year and a half to complete.

"BOSS, I think your idea is good, hehe. "Cooks said, it's also wilted and wilted, anyway, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Wu Qian shook his head helplessly, it was too outrageous to avoid the heavy, and he said: "Leeds Castle in Kent County is definitely no problem, there are so many photos inside, and it was open to the public to receive tourists before." Hurry up and take a look and go to the shooting range. ”

The first of the two castles selected by Wu Qian is the famous Leeds Castle.

Leeds Castle, known as the 'Queen of Castles' because of the favourites of British queens, stands atop an island in the Rhine River Valley in Kent. Compared with those very solemn and majestic castles, this castle has a much more beautiful and elegant posture.

Leeds Castle was built in 857, and strangely enough, there is no historical record of what it was built for, as if it just appeared out of thin air. In 1119, the castle was changed from a wooden structure to a Romanesque stone building that was prevalent at the time. Later, it has undergone continuous renovation and renovation projects.

In the 13th century, the castle was dedicated to the king by a courtier, and Leeds Castle became a country house for the English royal family, with successive kings giving Leeds to the queen to enjoy. As a result, Leedsburg has a strong feminine feel. After Henry VIII of the Tudor dynasty, Leeds Castle was once again privately owned.

In the thirties of the 20th century, Mrs. Bailey bought the castle and remodeled it according to personal preferences, such as the castle's intricate and ornate interiors, aviaries and other facilities.

There are many legends and stories about Leeds Castle in the UK, some are very beautiful, some are very miserable, for more than 1,000 years, the people living in the castle have different identities, commoners, nobles, and royalty, and it is impossible to verify how many generations have been experienced, and there are countless love stories and ghost legends hidden in the castle.

Along the winding road, the phantom seems to be driving in the painting, the rain in the sky is still falling, Wu Qian has a strange sense of confusion, the autumn rain has the feeling of continuous spring rain, he looks out the window through the glass, enjoying the rain scene.

However, Cooks and Rosalind frowned, and at this moment, Leeds Castle could already be seen in the distance, but at the same time, the cautious Cooks and Rosalind noticed that there were figures looming among the nearby low hills and jungles.

"Did you see that, Rosalind?" asked Cooks.

"Well, I saw it, and I found more than 10 people. Rosalind said, her expression serious.

The figures lurking among the trees were hidden, and Cooks and Rosalind weren't sure how many there were, or what their purpose was.

Wu Qian looked at Kux and Rosalind who were facing great enemies around him, and was secretly speechless in his heart, he was an ordinary person who had just been rich for a few months, and it was too late to make enemies if he said something unpleasant, how could someone squat specifically to ambush him.

"Don't worry, no matter what you do, it's definitely not for me. ”

Cooks and Rosalind thought the same, besides, there were many guards next to Leeds Castle not far away, and very few people dared to blatantly challenge the power of a country.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom travels along the cobbled pavement to the gates of Leeds Castle.

Leeds Castle is located in the middle of the lake and is connected to the embankment by only a stone bridge. The castle is surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, which give the castle a dreamy and charming colour, and you can fully experience the royal luxury and grandeur.

When the wind is good, the lake around the castle is clear and calm, and there will be black and white swans swimming leisurely in the lake, and it is impossible to calm the lake today, and the light rain does not stop.

"In the end, it is a foreign country, and the character of the rain is different. Wu Qian muttered, pushed open the door and got out of the car, Rosalind had already opened her umbrella and was waiting by the car door.

With four cars parked in front of the castle, the property must be in high demand, and there are still people coming to watch it in the drizzle. There are still tourists on the riverbank in the distance, perhaps knowing that Leeds Castle is about to be auctioned off again as private property, and it will be very difficult to see it later, so even the rain does not stop the tourists.

The "castle law" is very popular in European and American countries, and it doesn't matter if you leave after being warned about trespassing on private territory, but if you don't listen to the warning and insist on going your own way, the BIA will have nowhere to cry out with a shot.

There is a small wooden boat on the river, and two men in raincoats are salvaging it, and from time to time they are fishing out of the bottom of the river with clumps of green bars, and it seems that it is not enough to keep the river clear and not litter.

The castle was surrounded by guards standing guard, after all, it was still the property of the queen before the auction.

Wu Qian stood in the drizzle and looked at Leeds Castle in front of him.

The whole pale yellow castle stands in the drizzle, showing a trace of softness more and more, casting a beautiful shadow in the turquoise lake, the rain drops fall on the water surface, swinging a slight wave circle, the whole castle seems to float up, very dreamy.

A true mansion is not only about the majesty of the building, but also about the size of the garden, especially in a modern home environment. Because there are very few families anymore, the population is generally not very large, and it is not necessary to build a large living area.

But the bigger the garden, the better, especially if you don't consider building a house for rent or renting out the land to make money, just to see the scenery and enjoy the flowers, which is the real pride.

The Howard Castle rented by Taiwanese singer JAY when he got married, in the heyday of the castle owner in ancient times, sat on 13,000 acres of land, that is, more than 52 million square meters, 52 square kilometers!

The gardens around Leeds Castle are less exaggerated, about 500 acres, the size of just over 2 square kilometres. About 300 meters away from the main body of the castle, there is a two-storey building dedicated to the residence of servants, which can accommodate 300 servants at a time.

Although Leeds Castle is not as imposing as the place where the queens lived in the ancient days of the Celestial Empire, the problem is that it can be bought as private ownership, which is very cool.

For such a large area, the valuation given by Sotheby's is only 22.5 million pounds, and Wu Qianbi compared the land rented in the south of the capital, and instantly felt that 22.5 million pounds was as cheap as the price of cabbage, especially with the freehold land rights.

"Don't hoard land at your own doorstep, hoard abroad, the world is so big, it's better to open your eyes a little. Wu Qian thought so in his heart.

After a long time, a middle-aged man with an umbrella walked out of the castle, who was a very shrewd real estate consultant, and he received Wu Qian warmly.

Through the introduction of the real estate consultant, Wu Qian learned that the reason why Leeds Castle was built on the island in the middle of the water was actually to make it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

When he followed the real estate consultant across the connecting bridge and stone bridge, Wu Qian saw three black swans with red beaks and black feathers hiding from the rain under the eaves, and he suddenly remembered the cake that Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin gave him on his birthday.

"I don't know how busy those two girls are......" Wu Qian muttered softly, took out his mobile phone and recorded a video and sent it to Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin.

The real estate consultant thought that Wu Qian was asking some question, and muttered a bunch of words, which meant that all the swans in the lake could not be hunted, because the swans in England belonged to the queen.

Rosalind translated the words to Wu Qian, he was really surprised, he really didn't know before, it turned out that in the third week of July every year, from Monday to Friday, someone would count the swans for the queen, and this job was called Swan Upping. Exactly 5 working days, departing on time at 9 am and between 5-6 pm.

It was a very serious job, with regular overalls, special boats, flags, and to the Thames near Windsor, where the staff had to pause and raise a glass to the Queen.

At the same time, there are all kinds of cool official positions related to swans, the queen swan statistics chief is the one who counts the swans, the royal swan guardian, and the swan has a physical examination......

"Interesting, haha. Wu Qian shook his head and sighed, it was really strange, and then walked towards the ancient castle.

Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin naturally received the message sent by Wu Qian, but they didn't have a kung fu club now, and they were driving on the highway.

The overall style of the interior of Leeds Castle is Norman, the whole interior can be said to be another cave, the interior is gorgeous and warm, the bedroom of the medieval queen is not as luxurious as imagined, but full of the comfort of "home", less solemn atmosphere, more life atmosphere.

The bathroom next to the bedroom still retains the traditional late medieval wooden basin, and the white gauze curtain keeps the air vapor out of the air. The central open-air courtyard is filled with bubbling water. The magnificent banquet room and gorgeous study room also show the nobility of the royal family everywhere.

"Venerable Mr. Wu, I will tell you one thing secretly, those ghost legends about Leeds Castle are just a gimmick made up to attract tourists, you are a great materialist, you will definitely not believe those rumors, right?" said Gu Zhai, and the top hats were stacked on Wu Qian's head.

Wu Qian smiled I don't know if it's okay, indeed, walking in Leeds Castle does not have that eerie feeling, but maybe because of the rainy day, I don't feel that the light is very sufficient, and lights are lit everywhere.

"Mr. Wu, there is a garden labyrinth near the castle, consisting of 2,400 yew trees, located at the end of the castle park, which is the filming location of many TV dramas......"

Wu Qian walked all the way in the castle to watch, this kind of place is too hasty to see, you need to live here, experience the sunrise and sunset, watch the clouds and light wind, that is a taste.

"Let's go, I hope to get a good picture of the castle. "Wu Qiandao, the manor and the castle have their own beauty, just wait for the photograph to slowly experience.

"When my dreams are fulfilled, I take my parents and my wife to live in such a place, enjoy the mountains and rivers during the day, and watch the stars and the moon on the lawn at night, which is comfortable. Wu Qian couldn't help but think in his heart.

Cooks drove away towards a shooting club just 20 kilometres from Leeds Castle.

"Rosalind, Cooks, if I want to carry a gun, how do I need to get it?" Wu Qian asked as he sat in the car.

Wu Qian had been exposed to firearms in the game before, so he didn't have a strong desire, but when he touched the real gun, he really wanted to play with a few hands. Perhaps it's because of the love of guns that has been engraved into men's DNA. Just like the fear of spiders is etched into the DNA.

"BOSS, are you still thinking about last night's robbery, don't be so nervous, guns are such things, if used well, they are self-defense weapons, but if they are not used properly, they will also increase the danger factor. Cooks said.

Guns are always foreign objects, and they can be used as self-defense weapons, but if they rely too much, there will be problems, such as the four people such as Cooks, although they carry guns, their fighting skills are also very strong. If its own combat effectiveness is weak, even if you take a gun, it belongs to the "glass battery".

"It's not for self-defense or anything, it's just for fun. Wu Qian said with a smile.

Rosalind said: "BOSS, if you want to play shooting, you can experience it in the shooting club." If you have a property, you can buy a gun to store in a manor or castle.

If you must want to wear a firearm and need to get a firearms license, I recommend that even if you have the idea of getting a firearms license, you can wait until you buy the property, the process will be much easier. ”

Celebrities and the richest have always been a special group of people, and those who own a castle or estate of tens of millions of pounds will inevitably be treated leniently in some ways. Wu Qian didn't bother with the problem of carrying a gun anymore, anyway, he didn't stay in the UK for a long time, so he didn't rush for a while, he would play first.
