The red cloth was lifted, and four rolls of parchment were closed and placed on the table. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Regarding the four maps, I can only say that they are rumored to be Captain Kidd's treasure maps, and I can only guarantee that these are the four maps that appeared in succession in the last century, but whether they are really related to Captain Kidd's treasure, I can't guarantee it. By saying this, Cuomo was confirming that the four maps were not copied by others based on the four maps that appeared at the time, but they wanted to show that if they got the maps, they would not necessarily find the treasure.

Or to put it another way, getting the map has nothing to do with finding the treasure.

Maybe some of the big greed in that part of Interland's history got Captain Kidd's map privately, and it didn't matter if he took the treasure first.

Historically, it is rumored that Captain Kidd buried a treasure of ten million pounds (gold coins), which was eventually found by Interland, and it stands to reason that each treasure map represents a treasure worth two million and five billion dollars today, but no one has ever actually found a single silver coin.

"Brother Gun, what's the use of filming this thing, everyone else has gone to find it. ā€

Fang Hong: "Have you noticed that my luck is like the sky of Xichuan, where crows and magpies are densely packed, flying on the same screen." ā€

Fang Hong has found great cultural relics twice, and at the same time, he has also encountered all kinds of disasters that are difficult for others to live in the local area, but isn't it a crow and a magpie dancing on the same screen.

"Let's take a look at the price first. ā€

Cuomo: "It's a lot of strange provenance, but it's not worth much, and as a traditional last lot, it has a reserve price of $50,000, with a minimum price increase of $1,000 each time. ā€

In the audience, all kinds of rich and powerful people rarely saw each other again.

Prince W smiled: "Mr. Fang, you are very proficient in treasure hunting, why don't you take a picture?"

That's exactly what I mean. ā€

Lao Mei next to her talked to the assistant: "What do you think is the highest transaction price for it?"

"By my estimate, no more than three hundred thousand dollars. ā€

So low? Fang Hong smiled, entered the amount, and held up the sign.

Mr. Fang offered $400,000. Cuomo smiled.

Lao Mei next to him was stunned for a moment: ", this Chinese is here again? He won't be the childcare arranged by the auction." ā€

Every time the auction is arranged, it is not necessarily people who do not know it, but there may be various people who appear on high-level occasions to cooperate with the auction, because they have obtained some cultural relics or important treasures from Christie's auction, and promise Christie's to do a childcare or something.

At the scene, there are also many people who think so.

If it is purely used as a collection, this thing is already 300,000 US dollars, and it will be directly sold to 400,000 US dollars, which is to force some people who want this lot to double the premium.

Therefore, those who originally wanted these four parchment books all crossed their hands and watched coldly.

Fang Hong smiled: "They don't seem to want to bid anymore, but 400,000 US dollars is already my limit, no matter how high it is, I will have no money." ā€

In fact, after arranging various supplies, venues, and activity funds for the museum, Fang Hong's money bag was already very empty, and now he basically has no money to take out and use, and he has to leave some money as the principal for future adventures, and also keep money as the capital for the introduction of cattle in the pasture.

As soon as the 400,000 yuan came out, Fang Hong's recent money could be regarded as hollowed out.

The scene is deserted.

Cuomo didn't hesitate too much, this price was already beyond the auction estimate, and the hammer fell continuously: "Congratulations to Mr. Fang for winning the four parchment books for $400,000." ā€

Prince W got up: "Let's go, get the things and fly to Interland." ā€

Fang Hong smiled: "You are inviting me?"

Prince W: "Why?

"Brother gun, the sheep is in the mouth of the tiger!"

"Brother Gun, Hongmen Banquet!"

Fang Hong smiled: "If the deal is reached, I am afraid that I will be listed as the most unpopular person in Interland, and there will be no chance to set foot in Interland again in the future, there is such an opportunity to go to Interland, why not go?"

Can't be, you haven't been to Interland and become a big red cross on the entry list, right?

"Good. ā€

Due to the special status of Prince W, Mr. Christie's arranged payment and pick-up in advance.

The two of them finished picking up the goods and returned to the hotel for dinner.

As for the celebration party arranged by Christie's, the two did not have time to participate.

As it gets dark, the Boeing 747 takes off from Paris and flies non-stop to England.

In this regard, the domestic print media reported: "The patriotic adventurer Fang Hong used the cultural relics of the Commonland to exchange the Chinese cultural relics in the collection of the Xiaoying Museum, and now Fang Hong has rushed to the Commonland to sign an agreement." ā€

What the hell is a patriotic adventurer called.

Interland, grey skies, but not too cold.

The convoy was waiting at the airport for a long time, and Prince W arrived, and without saying a word, he got in the car and left.

The prince did not live in the royal palace or Windsor Castle, but in Kensington Garden Villa.

When the convoy arrived, Fang Hong was very surprised: "Your Royal Highness Prince W, are you going to let me live in your house?"

Prince W: "How many people are waiting to see us lose our ugliness, maybe some country will send someone to assassinate you, I don't want to be relied on for a blood debt." ā€

Fang Hong shrugged: "What is that, I want to ask, have you ever been assassinated yourself?"

Prince W looked back: "Since seven years ago, on average, once a month. After saying that, he turned his head and walked into his own door.

Fang Hong: "Damn, it's really a dark upper class, I don't understand." ā€

The servant followed with Prince W's daughter in his arms, and Fang Hong didn't know what to do.

Princess Carter greeted the prince, and the two kissed affectionately.

Fang Hong was eating dog food outside the door.

After a long time, Prince W and Princess Carter's love words were finished, and then he turned around and said to Fang Hong: "Please come in." ā€

Princess Carter complained: "If there are guests, they should be allowed to come in first!"

Fang Hong walked in: "I'm not a guest. ā€

Prince W shrugged: "He's right. ā€

Princess Carter smiled and walked away with her daughter in her arms.

The housekeeper walked over: "Mr. Fang, please come with me." ā€

Fang Hong carried a bag and walked incongruously in the mansion where Prince W lived, which was known as the top ten in the world.

"This is your room, make the first call with the PAD on the wall if needed. ā€

Fang Hong nodded.

Everything is very unaccustomed.

In London, one of the most prosperous cities in the world, in the richest area of London, living in Prince W's residence, looking at a random pry of floor tiles that is enough for ordinary people to use for half a year.

Fang Hong lay on the bed, thinking about which one was more valuable, a rich life or a meaningful life.

Why did Zuckerberg still drive a small broken car and live in his rotten house after last year's success, and why did Warren Buffett still live in the countryside after being a stock god all his life.

These people, in their careers, find a purpose to strive for, not in enjoyment.

This is the difference between the aristocracy and the rich in the new century.

Fang Hong opened the parchment roll and flipped through it roll by roll.

It is indeed very ancient, judging from Fang Hong's superficial knowledge of cultural relics, it is indeed a very old thing, at least, it is not new in the past few years.

Captain Kidd's treasure?

Fang Hong smiled: "After the museum opens, put it inside." ā€

However, Fang Hong looked at the reverse side of the rolled parchment scroll, something suddenly flashed through his mind, but he failed to grasp the idea and turn it into an idea.

But this parchment scroll looks a little weird.

Without much thought, Fang Hong stripped off and slept.

Tomorrow, Prince W should take himself to see the other beast heads they have collected.
