0210 Sky-high castle 2
Rosalind and Cooks were both playing drums in their hearts, and there was something wrong with this stance. They didn't doubt the strength of their boss, but they never thought that the boss could take out so much cash at once, it was just scary!
With 250 million pounds in cash, it would be shocking that such a huge amount of wealth could be mobilized at any time without adequate preparation in advance.
Wu Qian had an excited smile on his face, his eyes were bright, and it was the kind of smile that suppressed excitement, which made him very excited. Wu Qian thought about it clearly, the people of the three major families in Italy would not be fools, and it could not be Sotheby's, so there was only one possibility left, and there was definitely something terrible in Leeds Castle!
In the antique auctions of the Celestial Empire, there was a phenomenon that many people followed the trend of auctions, with whose style? With the style of Mr. Ma, a big collector, as long as Mr. Ma appeared in the auction house, what he auctioned, there must be a large number of people competing with him. Why follow his wind, follow his vision, and follow the unknown news!
Wu Qian's current situation was like this, he didn't know what was in Leeds Castle, but it was certain that there was definitely something that the Italians wanted so badly, and he didn't mind inserting a lever.
The Agnelli family also has their own helplessness, they have considered directly negotiating with the British government, but there are two other families in the way, naturally it is impossible to get their wish, if they can buy Leeds Castle privately, none of them want to put this matter on the table.
Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of some departments in the United Kingdom, and they immediately began to send people to Leeds Castle to find out.
Because Leeds Castle will become private property again, from today onwards, Leeds Castle is closed and no longer accepts visitors, but there are many people wandering around, and it is actually more lively than the previous tourist open days.
Wu Qian once again took advantage of the large price increase to try to hit the opponent to take Leeds Castle at once, but this time he did not succeed, and it was impossible for him to succeed.
The people arranged by the three major families in the auction hall were in contact with their boss at any time, and of course they knew that this was not the price offered by their boss, so they began to bid again.
"255 million pounds, 260 million pounds, 265 million pounds......" The auctioneer was excited, his arms were trembling, he couldn't control his facial nerves, and his saliva sprayed everywhere on the auction table, but no one cared about this phenomenon, and everyone's nerves were constantly trembling as the price increased step by step.
"300 million pounds!" shouted not the auctioneer, but the telephone operator.
Bang bang, applause rang out in the auction house, breaking through an integer level and creating a new high!
The auctioneer looked at several Italians with blue faces, quickly pressed his palms, signaled everyone not to make noise, and said: "300 million pounds, Leeds Castle 300 million pounds, if you don't like the whole number, you can add another price, maybe add another price, Leeds Castle is yours......"
The auctioneer's words were really useful, a man in a bright gray suit put his mobile phone to his ear, stood up and said: "350 million pounds!"
Shouting out this price, the man in the gray suit was not calm, because the person on the other end of the phone was very emotional and gritted his teeth. There are not many people who can remain indifferent at this price.
The auctioneer's heart was thrilled because he made history and set a record for Sotheby's auctions, art sales!
"350 million pounds......! Giesers!" The auctioneer waved his arm and was eager to throw the small auction hammer out, his delicate suit crumpled.
Wu Qian chuckled in his heart, he had a bad feeling, the amount he could use was only 520 million pounds, which was already approaching, this situation made him a little flustered, the kind of panic that had no confidence, this feeling had not appeared for a long time.
"Cooks......" Wu Qian shouted to Cooks, then looked at the situation in the auction hall on the screen, and said, "400 million...... Help me shout 400 million pounds!"
“BOSS…… You, good ......" Kukus felt bitter in his mouth, this was simply inhumane, and the more determined the attitude of the Italian families, the more he was afraid that his boss would take a picture of Leeds Castle, because it would have to bear a lot of anger.
Rosalind is already a Buddhist, and she sits on the spot planning other things, ready for her boss to actually take pictures of Leeds Castle.
In the auction room, when the telephone operator shouted 400 million pounds, the audience was in an uproar.
At this time, the teams of major media in London rushed to the Sotheby's auction house, and the security guards at the door were busy, and many media rushed to the auction house with cameras. Of course, I won't let it in, and now the auction hall is like a barrel full of gunpowder, and it feels like it will explode at a moment's notice.
Unwilling, the media set up cameras at the door, and the wooden door was filled with camera lenses.
"BOSS, there is indeed a secret in this, but such competition is really irrational, I sincerely advise you to give up!" After Kukus hung up the phone, he said to Wu Qian very seriously.
Wu Qian stared at the computer screen for a moment, and he didn't turn his head and said, "Kuks, what kind of thing is worth the three major Italian families spending so much money to compete?"
Kux didn't expect Wu Qian to ask him rhetorically, thought about it, and said, "BOSS, I really don't know." Could it be that the treasures of Edward II and Henry VIII were buried in Leeds Castle?"
Leeds Castle has been associated with the royal family since the time of Edward I in the 13th century, and has been the royal family's most trusted refuge. As it happens, most of the people who seek refuge at Leeds Castle are women from the royal family.
The first royal woman to take refuge at Leeds Castle was the wife of Edward II. Edward II was the sixth king of the Plantagenet dynasty of England and lived at Leeds Castle after Edward II's assassination in the 14th century.
Henry VIII was the second king of the Tudor dynasty in English history, and after Henry VIII and the first queen divorced, he placed the queen in Leeds Castle. Since then, four other royal women have lived at Leeds Castle, hence the nickname "Queen of the Castle".
Cooks was just a joke, but Wu Qian took it seriously, not only did Wu Qian take it seriously, but some scholars in some departments of the British side also had relevant doubts, and historians began to frantically search for documents to see if some important clues were missing.
The experts at the British Museum have even set off for Leeds Castle to see if there is something terrible left out of the castle, after all, the law says that if anyone owns the castle, everything in the castle belongs to the individual, and when the time comes, it will cost money to buy it back, and the other party may not necessarily sell it!
