Chapter 1623: Generosity to Others
Adrien took Huo Sining over again at night, because he was afraid of long nights and dreams, and he was bound to get those Picasso works in Huo Sining's hands, and the only thing he was worried about was that Huo Sining would not like the things in his collection and let this transaction be given to Huang.

So after Huo Sining came to the castle, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and immediately prepared to take Huo Sining and them down.
But as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Huo Sining:
"Wait, Monsieur Earl, I have one more thing to trouble you. ”
When Adrien heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes flashed with vigilance and worry, for fear that Huo Sining would make some excessive requests, but out of his gentlemanly demeanor and identity as the host, he could not refuse directly, so he could only nod and say, "Miss Huo has something to say." ”
Of course, Huo Sining saw the nervousness on Adrian's face, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, since I said that our transaction counts, I will not unilaterally break the contract, I want to trouble you, in fact, I hope you can provide a list of the items in your collection." ”
"List of collectibles?" Ardrien was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood what Huo Sining meant, and the original nervousness on his face instantly faded, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Yes, I want you to give me a list, I've been in your collection, and it's so intricate that I want to pick out more than two hundred items from it at once, and I really don't know how long it will take. ”
"In order to complete our transaction as soon as possible, I have already contacted my master in China, and his old man will help me give me guidance, so that I can save a lot of time, but I need your side to help provide a list of names, Mr. Earl, I will fax it directly to China, and let my master help me select it remotely. ”
Huo Sining explained with a smile.
Adrien immediately smiled: "What's so troublesome about this, it must be time-consuming for a person to do such a large workload, Miss Huo has someone to help, so it is naturally better." It's easy to print the list, the objects in my collection are all entered into the system, just call up the list of materials in the database and print it out, and I'll let the housekeeper do it immediately. ”
The old housekeeper moved quickly, and quickly printed out the list of items that Huo Sining wanted, Huo Sining did not delay, and directly faxed the list to Qin's hometown, and after confirming that it was received there, she followed Adrien into the underground collection hall with Gu Xu.
After entering the collection hall, Huo Sining was still a little uneasy, and repeatedly confirmed: "Mr. Adrian, members of your family, do you really agree that I will exchange those paintings for more than two hundred cultural relics?"
Adrien nodded and said affirmatively: "Miss Huo, you don't have to worry, my family members agree with my decision, and I am very grateful to Miss Huo for being able to bring us such a big surprise, twelve Picasso works, once this news spreads, our Albert family collection will definitely be able to become famous all over the world and become an international collection, and maybe in the future, it can leave a historic mark in the collection world." ”
Speaking of this, Adrien showed a somewhat apologetic look on his face:
"But if you really want to talk about this matter, it's actually our Albert family who took advantage of Miss Huo. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, most of the collections in our collection are obtained from your country, and the means are not bright, and now we are exchanging these things that originally belong to your Huaxia country with you, which is an unfair thing in itself. ”
"Therefore, I tried my best to facilitate this transaction at the family meeting, hoping to compensate for the harm caused by my ancestors to Huaxia Kingdom in this way. In the way of exchange, those Chinese antiques will be returned to their original owners, so that these things that should belong to China will return to their homeland. ”
Although Adrien's words were a bit high-sounding, Huo Sining also had to say that this old earl was indeed beautiful in both speech and behavior, which made people unreasonable.
But, in spite of Adrien's beautiful words, who knows what was going on in the old earl's heart?
At least, Huo Sining smiled on the surface, but kept slandering in his heart, this Englishman said it so well, if he really wants to compensate Huaxia, why not return all the things in this collection back to Huaxia?
The Albert family has deep financial resources, and for such a family, it is not a big deal to take out dozens or hundreds of antiques, at least what Huo Sining knows, Adrian's grandfather donated thousands of Chinese cultural relics to the British Museum for free in his early years, which caused quite a stir at the time.
This family took a large number of Chinese cultural relics and generously behaved to others, but now they said to the real Chinese people that the return of hundreds of Chinese cultural relics to their original owners in exchange was to compensate for the harm caused to Huaxia, which is too ridiculous.
But Huo Sining also knows very well in his heart that this is unrealistic, not to mention that these collections belong to the entire Albert family, and Adrien does not have the power to use all the antiquities in this collection;
In fact, Hosning felt that being able to exchange more than 200 artifacts from Adrien was already beyond her expectations.
What she had imagined in her heart before was just one painting for two or three Chinese cultural relics, but she didn't expect that this Adrien would be so generous that he actually proposed to exchange one for twenty.
Adrien believes that in this transaction, Hosning is the losing party, but as everyone knows, those Picasso paintings, Hosning was originally caught in the waters of Dover, England.
The Albert family exchanged antiques from Huaxia, but they didn't know that Huo Sining was also using things that originally belonged to England as bargaining chips.
Therefore, this transaction is just half a catty, the two sides are even, and no one suffers.
After chatting with Adrian, Hosning went straight to the point, his eyes falling on the shelves full of artifacts in the collection.
Now it is Adrien who has a request for himself, so Huo Sining was not very polite when choosing antiques, and ran to the place where those rare and rare objects were placed, and every time she confirmed an object, she asked Gu Xu to take a pen and record the name of the object. (To be continued.) )
