"What is the secret in Leeds Castle that makes them so nervous?" Wu Qian touched his chin, his eyes shining at the computer screen, and his eyes looked back and forth at those who had just sat upright, as if the secret was in these people.

At the same time, in another suite, a private manor and a hilltop castle not far from Wu Qian, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

"I don't know if the news is true, but it's always right to take a picture of Leeds Castle first!" Clark Virgio whispered to himself in the room about 40 meters in front of Wu.

"Could it be a conspiracy, in order for us to auction Leeds Castle at a high price?" A middle-aged man with a thick cigar in his mouth whispered in a study room in the castle on the top of the hill, where there were several rows of three-meter-high bookshelves, the shelves were full of books bound by various ancient methods, and a small white staircase leaned against the bookshelf for picking up books.

"In any case, photographing Leeds Castle will naturally be confirmed, Leeds Castle must be mine!" In a wooden villa next to a low hill, a man in his 40s frowned and muttered in a very domineering tone, he was one of the descendants of the Agnelli family, Rapo Elkan.

Rapo Elkann is one of the big owners of the Italian football team Juventus, vice president of the Fiat Group, and a proper domineering president, and his handsome appearance makes him look not like a middle-aged man at all.

In the auction room, when the auctioneer introduced Leeds Castle, he found that many pairs of eyes were staring at him, which was very unpleasant, and he unconsciously said: "Could it be that the most sought-after thing in this auction is Leeds Castle......?" Why?"

The auctioneer sensed that something was wrong, but could not analyze the specific reason, and the senior management of Sotheby's auction house also learned about the situation through the live broadcast, and the Italians seemed to be coming for Leeds Castle, but the specific reason was unknown.

"Leeds Castle, the 'Queen of the Castles', has been the story of the castle for more than a thousand years...... Leeds Castle is estimated at £22.5 million, with a starting bid of £18 million...... £18.01 million...... 1802...... "The auctioneer thought to himself that the auction would continue, and he absentmindedly sang the price.

At the beginning of the bidding, the auctioneer found a strange problem, those guys who stared at him with bright eyes were motionless, and it seemed that they had no intention of participating in the auction at all.

There are many stories of Leeds Castle, whether they are recorded in official history or folk legends, and there are a basket of poignant, romantic, and terrifying legends. Think about it, a residence with a history of more than 1,000 years, has been handled countless times, and no one can reveal all the secrets of the past.

Leeds Castle has been open to the public for more than 20 years, and there will be an auction again, so naturally the cost of the exhibition is not enough to maintain, and the government does not want to bear those costs.

The enthusiasm for the Leeds Castle auction is not very high, because the starting price is really not low, which is not low for the rich with an investment mentality, not including people who want to spend a lot of money to buy their favorites, not to mention people from Wu Qian and several major Italian families.

"There's no sign of anyone making a move. Wu Qian touched his chin and muttered as he looked at the computer screen.

"Boss, didn't you make a move...... "Kukes said, the German is very fond of demolition, and wilted.

Wu Qian glanced at Kukus and said, "What you said makes sense, eh, look, someone has moved." ”

Wu Qian and Cooks were talking when they saw a man in a dark suit stand up and hold up the auction board and shout, "50 million pounds." ”

Although the voice of the man in the suit shouting the price is not small, his demeanor and tone are very calm, and the price has been raised more than twice from 19.03 million pounds to 50 million pounds!

If 50 million pounds is used to buy gold, it is enough to buy 1.2 tons!

Wow!

After a brief silence in the auction hall, a huge uproar erupted when the 50 million pound offer landed, and all eyes were on the bidder.

"Oh my God, is it crazy?

"Giss Quires! Someone plucked out their ears vigorously.

"Holy fuck mama!" and someone scolded, which was naturally interesting to Leeds Castle and was participating in the auction.

After shouting the price, the auctioneer did not rush to sing the price, but first confirmed the number on the bidder's auction card, and after seeing what the other party was about, he took a sharp breath and said sonorously: "Leeds Castle, 50 million pounds!

The auctioneer even gave up preaching, this price had touched his soul, and the auctioneer believed that even if he didn't let out a fart, someone would jump out and compete with him, after all, there were so many people with inexplicable faces staring at the dark suit man who was shouting the price, and he could see it very clearly when he stood on a high place.

"The people of the Areoti family, very nice ......"

"Clark Virgio, you're doing well...... Recently, the medicine has been selling well or the sales of glasses have been high, making you so inflated!"

In the castle and manor on the top of the hill, the two people sitting in front of the computer screen whispered in unison, and the show began.

Founded in 1886, the Areotti family business is the Menarini Group, the largest multinational biopharmaceutical company in Italy, which has established several subsidiaries around the world and has one of the highest total revenues in the European pharmaceutical industry.

At the same time, Clark Vigio founded the Luxottica Group, a multinational group specializing in the manufacture and sale of eyewear, the world's largest eyewear manufacturer, headquartered in Milan.

As an internationally renowned eyewear retail chain brand, LensCrafters is currently the largest eyewear retail chain store in North America. In addition, Luxottica Group also owns many top international fashion brands, such as Ray-Ban, Bvlgari, Burberry, Chanel, Dolce &Gabbana, Prada, etc.

The Areotti family's bid did not cause any trouble to those who actually wanted to bid for Leeds Castle, because those who knew the inside knew that this price was simply not enough to win Leeds Castle!

The bidders did not know which side the bidder represented.

Rosalind frowned slightly, and from her position she could see a side face when she looked at the man who was bidding, she couldn't tell which family this person was, but she could certainly be one of the three major families in Italy.

"The boss should be going to shoot too. Rosalind thought to herself.

Wu Qian didn't act in a hurry, he was hiding in the dark now, he could take a look at the situation before moving, and he didn't panic.
