Helen stood aside and looked at Jin Muchen's eyes looking at the house, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart, and then Jin Muchen turned her head with a face full of questions.

"How do you know I'm going to buy a house, what kind of house I'm going to buy?"

"Haha, didn't I tell you a long time ago? This is Manhattan, and there's no secret here. ”

When Helen said this, Jin Muchen could only be completely speechless, it seems that this is indeed the case, and it is indeed difficult for him to hide any secrets in front of this girl.

But this house looks, but it is really good, detached, the location is excellent, just look at the location can be seen, the lighting must be very good, and this location, is just right.

"Let's go, I'll take you inside."

Helen knew what he was thinking just by looking at Jin Muchen's eyes when he looked at the house, and Jin Muchen was stunned when he heard it.

"Didn't you say that this house belonged to that Barton? Do you have the key here? ”

Helen didn't answer directly, just reached out and took out a bunch of keys from her pocket, and shook them in her hand, and Jin Muchen could only follow obediently.

Helen took him to the front of this building, Jin Muchen took a general look, the red brick factory-style building, the walls are all 50 walls, it looks very strong, just looking at the thickness of the wall and the red solid bricks, you know that this must be a building from decades ago.

If this is a building in the past 50 years, because of the improvement of thermal materials, who would have built such thick walls for you?

Helen opened the door, and Jin Muchen followed. The inside of the house was empty, and there was nothing in it.

The floor was covered with dust, and although the light was good at this time, the windows were covered with dust because no one had been in the house for a long time. The light is not particularly bright.

Although it is a little dim, but the empty space, it makes people feel quite good, the area of a single floor is about more than 200 square meters, and the height of a single floor of the house can be six meters, a total of two floors.

There's even a basement of the same size. Just looking at the area, Jin Muchen felt very satisfied.

"How? Pretty good, right? The house hasn't been touched yet, and if you're willing to take over, you can just hire some designers to help you design it. It's sure to be very stylish. ”

Helen touched the red brick wall inside the room and said, everything here is a pure natural taste of the original factory, which looks very rough and primitive, but the architectural style of the SOHO area wants such a taste.

Jin Muchen also felt very satisfied when he saw it, and indeed when the time came, as long as he found a designer, he would design this place well. It would be nice to renovate it.

In particular, you can change it to your favorite loft style, and you must hate it.

"This is where Canal Street and Chambers Street meet. With Lincoln Park in front and the Hudson River in the distance from the rooftop, it's the quietest and brightest area in the area of Soho, even though it's on the edge of the Soho district. And not far from the middle of Canal Street, there are many antique shops. If you have a store here, it would be the right thing. You don't have to worry about running out of customers. This canal street is going to be connected to where the Upper East Side gangsters live, every morning. There will be a group of broadmen who like to run in the morning, running along Canal Street to this side...... In addition, it is also very close to William Street, which is the most renovated street in the SOHO area, and there are many new luxury apartments, and I heard that there are many rich Asians and Europeans who have bought houses there, and it is ten minutes away from here, so you don't have to worry about your customers......"

Helen's introduction stunned Jin Muchen, he looked at Helen blankly, and Helen felt his gaze for a while.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I don't have flowers on my face? ”

"No, I think it's a shame that you don't go to be a real estate agent......"

"You guy, it's very rude to judge a lady like that."

"Alright! Miss Helen, I was so impressed by your introduction that I decided to accept your job as an appraisal consultant, but only once! And I'm also going to sign a disclaimer ......"

"No problem, I trust your vision."

In this way, Jin Muchen and Helen reached a deal, not that he was willing to be entangled with Helen, but because of Helen's bid this time, it was difficult for him to refuse.

He had been looking for a house for more than ten days, and he knew how difficult it was to find a house that was close to his heart, and now that Helen had sent this house to him, he felt that he really couldn't miss this opportunity.

What's more, Helen also told him that as long as he helped her this time, there would be no need to worry about the price, she would help him come forward to talk to that Mr. Barton, and she would definitely help him get the best price.

For this, Jin Muchen has no doubt that the energy and reputation of the Hearst family are not something that anyone can refuse, not to mention that Mr. Barton is still in a predicament?

"Well, here are some information, after you go back, prepare well, and I'll pick you up in two days."

Helen drove Jin Muchen back to his parking lot at the café, and then handed him a brown paper envelope, and Jin Muchen took the information.

"Forget it, you name an address, I'll go over by myself."

"Why, are you so afraid that Candace will find out? Truth be told, there's nothing to hide between us, what are you afraid of? ”

Helen looked at Jin Muchen with a smile and said, her smile was full of ridicule, to be honest, she liked to see Jin Muchen embarrassed.

Jin Muchen scratched his head: "I'...... Forget it, you can send me the address when the time comes! ”

Helen, this girl, obviously wants to tease the master, and Jin Muchen is unwilling to give her too many opportunities.

drove back to the antique shop, and before he could start researching the materials, he saw Fang Bo coming up.

"Where did you go, I didn't answer your call, someone from Sotheby's came."

Jin Muchen took out the phone and saw that there was just no power, and he didn't bother to explain to Uncle Fang, so he went upstairs with Uncle Fang.

After waiting for several days, the Sotheby's guys finally showed their heads, and they thought they could calm down!

When Jin Muchen and Fang Bo came upstairs, they happened to see Vince standing in front of his wooden box with three guys.

Seeing him coming, Vince hurriedly came up to greet him enthusiastically.

"Hello Mr. Kim, how are you doing today?"

"Hello Vince, not bad, what about you!"

"I'm okay, by the way, I'm very presumptuous to bring someone over today, but I haven't been able to get through when I called you before......"

"It's okay, I'm not here, and Uncle Fang is the same here."

The two of them said a few polite words, and then Jin Muchen shifted his attention to the experts, three experts, two of whom had gray hair and beards, and one of whom had a Mediterranean style.

At this time, no one came forward to greet him, but concentrated all their minds on the black lacquered wooden box.

Jin Muchen didn't make a sound, just looked at where these people were carefully inspected, and their movements were much more professional than those seen by Vince that day.

One of them was holding a photo album with some pictures of black lacquer painted gold wooden boxes, and he was comparing the style of the wooden box with the paintings in the wooden box in his album in detail, and the gold lacquer depictions.

The Mediterranean painter kept his eyes on the signature on the lid, while the other white-bearded old man was constantly circling the box, observing the material of the wooden box and the process of making it.

"These three are our company's experts in Japanese antiquities, or antique furniture, Ben, Smith, and Kevin ......."

Vince pointed to the three experts and introduced Jin Muchen, and when the three experts heard the voice here, they all turned their heads and raised their hands at Jin Muchen, even if they had said hello, Jin Muchen also nodded at a few of them.

"Some time ago, our company had an event in Miami, and these three experts have been busy there, but they just came back and I pulled them over."

Vince said to Jin Muchen as if he was chatting, but in fact, there was some explanation in it.

And Jin Muchen just smiled and nodded, but did not respond, he knew that things were definitely not as simple as Vince said, Sotheby's is not a small company, and there must be more than three experts who can identify antique furniture and Japanese cultural relics.

But why didn't they send someone over before, there must have been the idea of wanting to dry themselves for a few days, and when they saw that they were really not in a hurry, they sent someone over.

And there are three people in one faction, which is enough to show that they attach importance to this box.

After looking at it for a while, the three experts finished the inspection, and then the three of them got together and discussed in a low voice for a while, and soon came to a conclusion.

Then the Mediterranean-looking guy came over: "Hello, you should be the owner of this box!" I'm one of the people in charge of the antique furniture appraisal at Sotheby's, my name is Ben, Kentley. ”

"You're also, Ben, nice to meet you."

Jin Muchen exchanged a few words with this simple greeting, and then went straight to the topic.

"Mr. Kim, we have just checked your box, and judging from the appearance, material, and the painting on the box, as well as the signature on the lid, this box should be the one that was lost in Britain before. But I'd like you to let us take this box back and do a simple carbon-14 identification ......."

"If it's free, that's fine."

Jin Muchen made a little joke, and Ben laughed.

"Of course, it's free, and when the results come out, Mr. Jin I think we can have a good discussion about the auction, don't worry, if your box is real, we will try our best to arrange it to be auctioned in London, and the commission ratio is negotiable......" (to be continued).
