15. Noble relics
Fortunately, lawyer Mueller was very open-minded, and he said: "Well, Mayor Wang, you seem to be very short of money now, so I will not take your money for the time being, and will pay me back when you have money." ”
Wang Bo suddenly cited Muller lawyer as a year-old friend, who said that lawyers in capitalist countries are vampires? Look here, there's a good Bethune-esque guy!
Unfortunately, lawyer Mueller did not give him a chance to make a deep acquaintance, and he changed cars and left after the taxi drove out of the slum.
For dinner, they ate Omarama's specialty black pepper chicken rolls, which are made by boiling the broiler and removing the meat to make it coagulate, then adding spices and starch to tie it into a roll in a burrito machine, then frying it and finally putting it in the refrigerator before eating.
This kind of chicken wrap is very suitable for hot weather, fragrant, tender and hot, Wang Bo has eaten this thing in the last few nights.
Charlie followed to eat the chicken rolls, and after eating, he sucked his fingers and said, "That old Wang, are you short of money?" ”
"Nonsense." Lao Wang is still gobbling it up.
Charlie nodded and said, "Actually, I forgot to say something......"
Wang Bo's mouth movements suddenly stopped, and he looked at Charlie in horror: "Who else does the old man owe money?" ”
Charlie rolled his eyes and said, "This time it's not about owing money, it's about making money." The last time I went to the castle, I wanted to tell you about it, but the haunting scared me and I forgot about it. You know, even if these nobles are in dilapidation, they have a few valuable things in their hands, and I happen to know one. ”
As soon as he heard that it was not a matter of owing money, Lao Wang relieved himself and continued to gobble up.
As for Charlie's words, he didn't believe it: "I can't hold it new, click and click, like my previous insight......"
"Swallow it, I can't hear you clearly."
"I mean, I don't believe it, if there's something of value, why not sell it and borrow it from a loan shark?" Wang Bo craned his neck and said, choking.
Charlie said: "For example, if you have no money in Beijing, and your parents leave you a family heirloom or your ex-girlfriend once gave you a gold ring, will you sell these treasures or borrow from a loan shark?" ”
"Definitely sell these things, I'll borrow an egg from a loan shark!"
Charlie was also choked, he blinked, and finally decided not to reason with a simple-minded person like Lao Wang, so he waved his hand and said: "Sir Roberts has the dignity of a nobleman, anyway, he would rather borrow money than sell this red box, now it's in your hands, you can do it yourself." ”
The leaders of various countries have a symbolic item, such as the US president is Air Force One, the South Korean president is a Hyundai car, the supreme leader of North Korea is fat-headed and big-eared, and the British prime minister and ministers are symbolic items are red secret boxes.
The history of British leaders carrying red boxes to office can be traced back to 1860, when the original red box was introduced in 1860 by Gladstone, who was the British Prime Minister four times, and has been used as a briefcase for British officials for more than 150 years.
Sir Roberts has one such red box in his hand, and his red box is very large, it was given to him by Margaret Thatcher, the most legendary Iron Lady in modern British history, so this red box is destined to be worth a fortune.
Charlie told Wang Bo that many Chinese know that Margaret Thatcher's first visit to China in 1982 opened a new era of diplomacy in the modern history of China and Britain. But few people know that Margaret Thatcher did not return after visiting China, but then visited New Zealand.
When the British Prime Minister or the British Crown visits the British Dependent States, if there are any remaining nobles in the dependent country, they will be accompanied by nobles, and Margaret Thatcher was accompanied by Sir Roberts.
At that time, Jazz's financial situation was very bad, and he accompanied Thatcher on his visit to New Zealand using a somewhat worn suitcase. So when the Iron Lady had finished her visit, she thanked Sir for accompanying him all the way, and gave him the red box she had used.
Sir regarded the chest as a family honor, and from the day he acquired it, many political collectors were interested in it, but he never sold it, and kept it in his collection.
After listening to the introduction, Wang Bo asked, "Does anyone still want to buy this box now?" ”
Charlie nodded, "Yes, an auction in Wellington wants to take this box, if you are willing to sell, I can help you get in touch." ”
"How much are they willing to pay?"
Cha thought for a moment and said: "About two years ago, on the first anniversary of Margaret Thatcher's death, there was a charity auction of her relics held in London, in which another red box she used was auctioned for about 250,000 pounds, that is, 530,000 New Zealand dollars, and the buyer was willing to pay this price. ”
"That's the price the auction house quoted to Jazz? Why is Jazz not for sale? Wang Bo asked.
"I don't know." Charlie shrugged.
Lao Wang put down the unfinished chicken rolls, looked at the rising moon with deep eyes, and said leisurely: "Actually, I know the reason, this box is his family dignity and his own personality for Old Sir Sir . He has lived a very sloppy life, his family has almost nothing, and he can only use what is left to maintain his dignity and keep his personality from falling apart......"
"What do you mean, I don't understand."
"It means that 530,000 is not good, my box can witness a major event in the diplomatic history of China and Britain! 800,000, if the auction house is willing to offer this price, then take it, otherwise don't talk about it! In addition, tell them that the issue of sovereignty is not negotiable! The bottom line of personality is not negotiable! After saying that, Lao Wang began to compete with the chicken roll again, this thing is really delicious.
The transaction of the red box will not be completed in a while, Charlie promised to help him ask, and after the letter they went to the castle during the day to take out the box, so that Wang Bo would have money.
Thinking of the haunted castle, Lao Wang couldn't help but return Jun Mingzhu's tears.
What was the most painful thing for a house slave? It's definitely that I have a house but can't live in it, so what's the most painful? I have a castle but I can't live there!
After eating the cold but fragrant chicken rolls, the two walked backwards, and when they passed an oak tree, several dolls suddenly ran over, and a little Lori raised her head and asked Charlie timidly: "Uncle, our ******** is hanging on the tree, can you help us pick it off?" ”
Little Lori looks like she is five or six years old, wearing a milky white puffy skirt and cartoon slippers, her short smooth black hair is combed into a ponytail, and a big yellow bow hangs on the back of her head.
Her face was pink and tender, like a small bun. The long eyelashes blinked gently, and the big eyes were moist and shiny, which would make the two fleshy little hands twist in front of the chest, how cute and cute it was, and Wang Boxin's heart was sweet.
But what really attracted Lao Wang was that he felt that Xiao Lori seemed to have Chinese blood, she was the kind of cute person who knew the mixed race at a glance, and her face contour was very three-dimensional, judging from the skin color, it should be a mixed race of yellow and white race, and the blood of yellow people may be Chinese.
