The Seymour family had an earl, but that was in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and later there were people who were awarded the "Order of the Indian Empire", and in the nineteenth century, someone from the Seymour family climbed to the top of the East India Company, the father of the admiral, and it was also considered prominent.

Time has entered the 21st century, and it has declined to the point where it is necessary to sell antiques in order to make a living, and even Ye Dongqing, a person who usually does not pay attention to antiques, rushed over, and the antique dealers and auction house experts who are mixed in Europe naturally got the news early, and everyone knows that the Seymour family has a lot of good things hidden.

If it was in the 90s, if it was not fine porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and bronze, almost no one paid too much attention to Chinese antiques, and as the people of the motherland began to have money, they frequently sold in the international market, and the prices were higher and higher, which attracted the attention of businessmen engaged in related industries.

When he led Laura and Zhao Liuli out of the car, the few people standing at the door suddenly understood what kind of prominent figure had come, and they could guess just by looking at the bodyguards.

Mr. Robin Beckenbauer, who had not revealed the news before, saw Ye Dongqing visiting by appointment, and almost trotted out to greet them, with a smile on his face as bright as a flower, and said in a rhythmic British accent: "What a wonderful day! Mr. Ye! The Seymour family is preparing, and the things are in the restaurant, and you will be able to see them later!"

"That's not in a hurry, I called someone to come and help me choose, wait a while. ”

After shaking hands with the other party, Ye Dongqing said that he asked his assistant to help arrange several experts to identify antiques, and he had never met before, so now he didn't know whether the other party had arrived or not.

Eyes swept through the crowd, there were a few yellow people standing there, I don't know which country it is, the news of this private auction was released half a month ago, and it is normal to attract so many people to come over, at a glance, there are more than 20 people standing at the door, and there are still in the building.

Buying antiques and finding someone to identify it is a common thing, Mr. Beckenbauer only cares about how much Ye Dongqing can spend today, and the rest is as long as this distinguished guest is satisfied, and continues to tell: "They are all fine products that were loaded and brought back from the ship back then, and a naval marshal is definitely capable of getting the best trophies, which may be mixed with some modern artworks, but they are all marked, and there should be no problem." ”

“…… I'm Chinese, you know what he did to my motherland, right?" Ye Dongqing was a little upset when he heard the word "trophies".

Specializing in antiques, how to mix without learning a little history, Beckenbauer used to sell a piece of porcelain, saying that when it was taken out of the Old Summer Palace, the Chinese customer immediately blew up.

I despise Britain in the past, they are not gentlemen at all, who would have thought that this country was once the largest drug trafficking gang in the world, and I regret what they did. ”

Rich is the uncle, if an ordinary person talks about these things to Beckenbauer, he will probably ignore them, for those things in the colonial era of the Great Voyage, the vast majority of British people will only feel proud, the wealth scavenged from the world has made Britain one of the most powerful countries in the global economy, how can they not be proud, wish they had seized more resources at that time.

Ye Dongqing just mentioned it in passing, the pain points of racial culture should be remembered, but it can't be too radical, he now represents so many companies, if he is caught talking too much, it will be difficult to do business in Europe.

It is rumored that when the Yuan Dynasty invaded Europe and attacked the city, they threw the corpses of the sick and dead into the city, causing the Black Death to spread, causing the population of Europe to drop by one-third, and more than 20 million people were gone.

Seeing that the would-be high roller didn't say much, Mr. Beckenbauer was not stupid enough to take the initiative to continue to mention it, and began to help them introduce the history of the castle......

A director of the British branch of Freshwater Investment Group drove a Mercedes-Benz and brought five famous antiques and oil painting appraisers to the scene, and greeted the gang respectively, Ye Dongqing did not talk about the cost, because since the other party was willing to come over to help, I believe that the gang of people under him had already helped to contact, and he did not need to worry about this trivial matter.

"Let's go, let's go in too. ”

Seeing a young man with curly blonde hair standing at the door shouting that it was about to start, Ye Dongqing said to the group of people around him.

After a brief exchange, I learned that among these appraisers, an old man named Neil is actually the chief appraiser of the British Museum, and two others are also from the British Museum, who are responsible for the restoration of ancient porcelain and oil painting appraisal projects.

There are also two from Sotheby's auction house, this company is headquartered in London, as one of the most well-known auction houses in the world, a little cleaner, especially when doing private work, Ye Dongqing is not worried that they will join forces to pit themselves.

"The time is too short, originally we wanted to go to Huaxia to invite a few experts according to your request, but the visa or something is more troublesome, even if we can find it, this auction should be over after they come by plane." The person in charge of the British branch named Roger Hewitt told Ye Dongqing that he might have a set of management, but he didn't know anything about antiques, and felt that neither the people from the British Museum nor the Sotheby's auction house were any worse than those antique appraisers who were specially hired from China, and maybe even more professional.

Noncommittal about this, Ye Dongqing replied: "That's it, I believe in the ability of a few gentlemen, Mr. Hewitt, if you are interested, you can stay and go in and have a look, if you are not interested, then go back to the company first, and I will send a car to send a few gentlemen back safely." ”

Mr. Hewitt looked at the crowd in the house, and finally decided to stay, he often saw garage auctions, but he had never seen real antique auctions, and said, "I'll go back later, there haven't been many things in the company lately...... Some time ago, I worked overtime to deal with it, and I am only waiting for the real estate agent to give me news, there are two houses near Kensington Garden Street that seem to be ready for sale, which is very suitable for the boss of you, and almost all the richest people in London live there. ”

I almost sweated out of fright, and secretly cursed an idiot in my heart, how can I say that I am not busy in front of the boss, isn't this a reason for the boss to lay off employees?

Ye Dongqing smiled happily, Hewitt is also an old employee, when he first came to work, the headquarters was still on Wall Street, and only thirty or forty employees joined in, and replied carelessly: "Look at these in the morning, I'll go to see the house in the afternoon, a friend's mother just bought a building in Kensington Palace last year, the environment should be pretty good......"
