Speculators are essentially forecasters who act on the basis of their own predictions in order to make a profit, while taking on the risk of making a mistake in their forecasts.

Also as a speculator, reason told Arthur to understand what it means to get rich, but to get rich depends on investment.

The first speculation in history was carried out by the Great Pharaoh Joseph of Egypt. Joseph, a wise and perceptive pharaoh, came to the right conclusion from a dream of seven good years and seven bad years. In good years, he hoarded large quantities of grain to put it on the market at a high price in the years when the harvest was poor.

Of course, there are also many famous figures in history who are also members of the speculative family. Newton, who discovered gravity and is known for a long time, also tried to speculate on securities, but failed, and in the end, Newton even forbade others to trade securities in front of him.

Voltaire and his girlfriend talked about securities and currencies for hours. He also speculated in grain and real estate, and later became popular as a foreign exchange smuggler.

The greatest economist of the century, Keynes, underneath his portrait, the British government wrote this passage: "Sir John Menagcaines, who succeeded in acquiring wealth without having to work." ”

In 1932, with the legendary economic crisis of 1929, the Great Depression reached its bottom, at which time, Keynes invested heavily in American stocks, and the ensuing economic recovery made him a very wealthy man. Keynes was one of the few economists who made money on the stock exchange.

As long as humanity has existed, there have been speculators and speculators, not only in the past, but also in the future. Therefore, speculators came into being, and whether they have gambled, made or lost, speculators will never disappear.

Arthur, who succeeded as a speculator, chose to take profits as soon as possible and settle in his pocket, not because he was timid and afraid, he was more willing or poor, and the money in his hand was too small, plus his investment was still a gamble in the final analysis, although he knew that he could win in the end, but he couldn't win every hand. Investing is a very risky thing, and once you invest your money, you can't help yourself.

Be the master of money, not work for it.

"Knock-"

The rocker straightened up and walked up, and Paul, the butler with more and more brisk steps, pushed the door in, smiled at Arthur, who was trying to recall all the financial memories of his past life, and said, "The Treasure Valuation Committee has arrived. ”

"Oh, they came fast enough, it's not like the efficiency of the British, I thought they would drag on for a few days!" Arthur also raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The British are notoriously slow to do things! There is a good saying that Britain is the fastest when it rains and strikes, and everything else has to wait.

In the UK, it is a common thing to queue for four hours, and the emergency department in the UK, as long as your condition is not serious enough to threaten your life, then it is normal to wait for several hours, and you are embarrassed to queue up without a little blood... What courier will take more than a week, it will take a week or two to get a bank card, call the doctor to make an appointment to listen to the phone music for an hour and a half, the British said that it is a normal phenomenon, don't make a fuss.

"How is it possible, as soon as they heard the report, they wanted to rush over yesterday, they were eager to get there first, and help their museum to obtain the most important archaeological discoveries for the public good. Butler Paul sneered mockingly.

"Hehe, it's a beautiful idea, but unfortunately, I'm not short of money now. Arthur got up from the boss's chair, smiled and straightened his clothes, and said to Paul, "No one can take anything that belongs to the Boleyn family, let's go, let's go meet our guests." ”

"Yes, Lord, please here—" Paul gestured with an inviting gesture.

This time, the treasure valuation committee sent a total of three cars and ten people, and I have to say that this kind of battle is indeed not small, and it is quite surprising. However, the number of treasures dug up by the main Arthur was too amazing, 1350 pieces, and when the treasure valuation committee got the news, they were shocked, and the people stationed in the treasure valuation committee in the major museums were eager to participate, so as to contact the owner of the treasure in advance and brush up on their presence.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Earl, I am Michael Lewis, an archaeologist at the British Museum... ”

"Hello, Your Excellency, I am James Winter, Department of Archaeology, University of Birmingham, UK... “

"Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm the Southampton Museum... ”

。。。。。。

A group of ten people shook hands with Arthur very enthusiastically and introduced themselves, as if they were worried that Arthur would not know their origin and name, and would despise them.

Arthur looked at the group of experts who looked at the green light in his eyes, shook hands with them one by one with a calm expression, and then said with a smile: "You are very welcome to come, I believe that you are also very familiar with the specific situation, so, I will not repeat it here, let's take a look at those cultural relics first, I know you can't wait, please here-"

Instead of hanging them out, or uncooperative, Arthur led everyone to the studio where those antiques were stored with a smile on his face, he mainly wanted to know the origin and origin of these things, and at the same time let this group of people give them a rough valuation.

When the ten experts walked into the studio and saw all kinds of gold and silver ornaments on the long table, they couldn't help but sigh in surprise and excitement.

"Oh my God, although I already know a lot, but when I really see this, I am still not mentally prepared!"

"Shocked, breathtaking, completely speechless, even more unbelievable than I imagined."

"This is probably the most important major discovery I've ever experienced, and at this scale, it should definitely be at the top of the UK... ”

"God, what did I see, this is the Anglo-Saxon pattern craft!"

As one of the experts exclaimed, all the experts took out their magnifying glasses one by one, put on white gloves, and each found a cultural relic and stepped forward to observe it carefully.

"I'm sorry, my lordship, they were a little rude, but I hope you understand that the treasure you have found is too attractive to them. ”

Arthur smiled and listened to the explanation of the officials of the Treasure Valuation Committee, with a smile on his face, shook his head slightly and said: "It's nothing, I can understand their feelings, but I have to say that experts are experts, just a general glance, can only distinguish the age of these cultural relics, it is really admirable." ”

"The craftsmanship is so exquisite, it is definitely the highest level of craftsmanship in the Anglo-Saxon period... ”

At this moment, James Winter, a professor of archaeology at the University of Birmingham, exclaimed again, holding a golden cross inlaid with garnets in his white-gloved hand, his expression agitated and his face flushed.

"Yes, it's basically certain that something here dates back to the 17th century. The number here is much greater than that of other important Anglo-Saxon treasures... ”

"These items are related to the war, you see, this fragment of a helmet carved with a running animal, and this gold hilt encrusted with rubies. These gold skins, which suggest that they may have been removed from the weapon, but not completely dismantled, suggests that they were in a hurry... ”

"Definitely trophies, probably captured from some king of the Anglo-Saxon period. The loss of these spoils of war meant the fall of the king. ”

“。。。 The famous 8th-century epic poem "Beowulf" mentions that the British Isles were cut off from the rest of Europe due to frequent wars between kings and nobles, so this period is also known as the "period of isolation".

However, judging from the treasure found this time, Britain was not isolated from the rest of the world at that time, as previously thought. It is likely that the garnets on the cross came from places such as Sri Lanka, suggesting that Britain was also trading with distant countries at the time. James Winter, a professor of archaeology at the University of Birmingham, had his eyes lit up, showing all his peers the twisted golden cross in his hand, like a treasure of history.

At this time, Arthur and Paul, the butler, listened to the analysis conclusions of the experts in the studio, and looked at each other, and they both saw the flashing brilliance in each other's eyes, and they knew that they seemed to have dug up a pile of 'gold and silver rags'!
