"Not bad...... It's just not bad?!"

Neil, an appraiser from the British Museum, was about to collapse when he heard Ye Dongqing's words.

His salary is already very good in London, and with the accumulated expertise, he can occasionally make some extra money, such as helping others to identify items, going to the store to pick up the leaks to make the difference, etc., and sometimes participating in small auctions to pick out some good things that others don't recognize.

Over fifty years old, with the accumulation of time, the total value of Neil's appraiser has been more than 10 million pounds, most of which exist in the form of collections, to say that to buy a high-end apartment in London, or a villa near the suburbs, it must be enough, as for the house on Kensington Palace Garden Street, the old man did not even dare to think about it.

It was a street with money stacked up, and the people who could live there were billionaires, thinking of Ye Dongqing's age, he felt deeply desperate, and reminded helplessly: "If you can't even look at the houses on Kensington Garden Street, then there is no house in the whole of London that can satisfy you, I mean the kind that can be sold to the outside world."

I've been in London since I was born, believe me, it's very cost-effective to live on my own or to invest, land prices in London have been rising lately, and there is no shortage of wealthy people who want to settle in the city. ”

It's not the first time I've come to London, Ye Dongqing probably knows where Kensington Palace is, I used to go to some popular attractions, which would look at the house, and politely replied: "Thank you for your suggestion, I'll think about it seriously, let's go see things first, I only need the most collectible ones, please help me pick them out, if the price is right, I will consider buying all the boutiques." ”

Mr. Beckenbauer was so excited when he heard this that he snapped his fingers and said, "Yes! We have to settle it before anyone else! Then let's go and see it now!"

Whether it is the appraiser of Neil or the director of the branch of Freshwater Investment Group in the UK, they don't know who this guy is, and Ye Dongqing doesn't mean to introduce it, just as friends who came over together, and enter the villa together......

The decoration is not bad, with the vicissitudes of life left over from the years, even if the best oak wood material, it will lose its luster after being stepped on for a hundred years, even if it is very clean, it feels like it is covered with a layer of dust.

It seems that it has not been renovated for some years, the handrail of the staircase has been broken, and there is an oil painting hanging on the wall, judging from the clothes on the body, old Neil can recognize at a glance that it is the portrait of Marshal Seymour of the Navy back then, pointing to it and whispering to Ye Dongqing: "The painting skills are not yet, but I don't know if the painter is famous, I can't guess who it is before the research, but it can be worth at least one or two thousand pounds, the young man no longer remembers the historical marshal, he does not have too outstanding achievements." ”

In other people's homes, saying that other people's ancestors can't do a good job, Ye Dongqing's face is a little weird, for fear that the people of the Seymour family will hear it, and he can't help but sweep himself out of the house, crying and laughing: "Their family still has descendants, who will sell the portraits of their ancestors? We mainly look at some old fine products today, and they are not my ancestors, even if I can buy them, I will not ask for them!"

There are a lot of things, and some people picked out more than 200 pieces and placed them on coffee tables, dining tables, and wooden shelves at will.

Ye Dongqing is a layman, no matter what he looks at, it looks like the real thing, it feels like a Chinese porcelain exhibition, blue and white plates, colored glazed bottles, three-color horses or something, being watched by the group of people who came first, wearing white gloves and knocking and touching, and the magnifying glass has not been put back in his pocket.

"Mr. Beckenbauer, so what's going on today, just looking at things, even if I bid, I can't take it away?"

"Of course...... No, I'll talk to the owner of these things for you, and you can move back into your own house at any time as long as the price is right!

Look, what a beautiful three-colored horse, it must be a meter tall, if it weren't for such an old family, where could you find something like this?"

At this time, he was only thinking about how to let Ye Dongqing buy more things, so that he could earn the commission paid by the seller, and as soon as he entered the door, Mr. Beckenbauer praised it vigorously, just like in his antique shop, he would have let people take a look in advance today, after all, there are more things, and it is difficult to read them in one day, but he has known the one from the Seymour family before, and thinks that most of them are fine.

"It's a nice antique indeed, it's rare to find it this big even in the British Museum. ”

Old Neil's appraiser had a calm expression, not tempted by these things.

Think about it, as the chief appraiser of the British Museum, he has access to the more than 8 million pieces of collection in the warehouse, and the things that others think are precious have become tired of seeing in his eyes, and there are so many in the collection room that he can't put it down, and the exhibits on display to tourists are less than one percent of the inventory, and there are precious cultural relics in all countries around the world.

There are so many in a museum, but it is easy not to sell them to the outside world, otherwise such a huge scale flows to the market, and the entire collecting industry will collapse, take Picasso's works as an example, the British Museum's warehouses hide hundreds of pieces, many of which are fine, and then look at the whole market, how many Picasso works are traded every year? Very few.

It's not really a lack of antiques, it's a lack of fine antiques, and there is also a national museum to help, which reduces market liquidity, resulting in a relatively large bubble, and the world order is stable when it's okay.

Ye Dongqing knows this, so he is not interested in ordinary goods, even if he buys it back and puts it in those private collection rooms, he can't make himself or the guests feel amazing, it is better not to buy it, I heard Mr. Beckenbauer say that there are good things yesterday, so I took the time to come and have a look.

Seeing that these people were still standing beside him, he said, "Please help me to take a look, as long as there are fine products, the kind that are scarce in quantity and have collectible value, I think you two should be very experienced after staying at Sotheby's auction house for so long, right?"

Tang Sancai's horse, the Yuan Dynasty's cloud dragon pattern blue and white jar.

Old Neil the appraiser walked around and told him that these two were the most valuable, and that there were some calligraphy and paintings, in which no one was proficient in this aspect, and few people paid attention to them.

Ye Dongqing heard that he went to see it, it was almost like being blind when he was standing next to a painting of flowers and birds, staring at the payment carefully, a yellow man in his thirties came over and asked him in English: "Say I?"

"Chinese, what about you?"

"Oh, compatriots, Yanjing at home? I haven't seen anyone so bullish abroad, luxury cars have formed a convoy, please ask a group of foreigners to be bodyguards!"

Enthusiastically stretched out his hand, and the other party introduced himself: "The contemptible surname is Niu, just call me a calf, and it's not worth mentioning to do some small business by yourself." ”

This is really the second ancestor of Ye Dongqing in some family......
