If other antiques are worth Sha Kelu does not have an accurate memory, but he remembers the price of this Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi downhill picture jar clearly, it was auctioned in 2005 for a sky-high price of 230 million yuan, so if you don't rush anything else, you must also win the business of this Yuan Qinghua.

Kabaeva, who was on the side, looked at Shaklu's excited performance and asked worriedly: "Boss, what's wrong with you?" Does this Englishman dare to lie to you? He faxed you worthless stuff? ”

Shakru took a deep breath and said, "These things may not be worth much now, but in a few years, they won't be worth much less than the gold chains we harvested this time." ”

After Ezkenna negotiated the general deal, Shakru took Kabaeva and Mustafina to London, before he got out of the airport, the car sent by Ezkenna to meet him was already waiting at the airport gate, Ezkenna sent a double-door Rolls-Royce, the body was ** meters long, and a middle-aged white man stood at the door of the car, after seeing Shaklu, he took the initiative to open the car door, and said: "Mr. Pandit, I am Mr. Ezkenna's butler, and I came to pick up your plane, Please get on board! ”

Although Shakru often hears the name of Rolls-Royce, but this is the first time to sit, the interior of the car is very spacious, after the three people sit in, they don't feel crowded at all, and between the two rows of sofas, there are wine cabinets and stereos and other equipment, which makes Shakru secretly decide that he will also buy a car with such a configuration after he goes back, so that it will be much more convenient to go out to play in the future, and if the road is farther, you can also talk to Kabaeva and them

The white butler sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the car drove out of the airport in the direction of the outskirts of London, which was not close, and drove for about forty minutes, until it came to the lower reaches of the Thames, and the butler said, "Mr. Pandit, Mr. Ezkenna's castle is ahead, and you are welcome." ”

In front of the car, Shakru could see that there was a magnificent ancient castle, compared to which any villa or manor he had seen before seemed so small and inconspicuous. In fact, in the United Kingdom, castles are everywhere, although the number cannot be compared with churches, but the long history, beautiful landscape, and rich connotation are incomparable to churches.

It can be said that the castle is one of the great wonders of England, and the years of conquest between England and Scotland, the strategic relationship with European countries, and the historic monarchy have made it impossible to find countless castles of all sizes on the island of Great Britain.

The main purpose of the construction of the castle is to defend, in order to be able to resist the invasion of the enemy, so the castle is mostly built in strategic locations, using natural hazards and equipped with strong city walls and military equipment to resist foreign enemies, so it must be a little worse in terms of living comfort, but now the castle has lost its defensive role, so the interior decoration is very gorgeous.

Although there are many castles in the UK, after entering the 20th century, most of the castles in the UK were taken back by the British royal family and managed, protected and maintained by special foundations. But there are also a small number of castles that have become private property, and only the truly super-rich live in these historic castles, spending huge sums of money on their restoration and maintenance every year, and Ezkena is clearly one of them.

About a hundred meters in front of the castle gates, a maze of huge gardens appeared, and after descending from the Rolls-Royce, the straight passage leading to the entrance was sandwiched between the gently labyrinthine geometric gardens on the left and right, and the view was so wide that every step to the castle became a salute view.

As the distance shortens, all the details, clues, and textures of the materials enrich your vision layer by layer, so that Shakru can't help but admire the strange idea of this castle and the harmony refined over the years. The castle is set against the back of the River Thames and faces the gardens, with its greenery, flowers, sculptures and crystal clear water, giving a great visual treat. Compared with the castle in Ezkena, Shakru feels that his villa looks so shabby, but looking at this area, it seems that he is not willing to spend money to buy it now.

"Dear Mr. Pandit, it is a pleasure for you to be a guest in my home, how is it? This castle of mine is not bad, right? It is almost a thousand years old. As the master, Ezkenner stood at the gate of the castle early, and behind him, there were more than a dozen servants, and when they saw Shakru and the others, they all put their right hands on their chests, bent down slightly, and performed an English gentleman's salute.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, your castle is one of the best buildings I have ever seen." After saying that, Shakru handed the gift in his hand, that is, a bottle of red wine purported to be 1870, to the servant beside him, after all, you can't come empty-handed when you come to someone's house.

Led by Ezkena, the crowd began to enter the castle, and as soon as they entered, they were greeted by a spacious banquet hall, ****** intricately carved chandeliers, 39 candles, simple and elegant old furniture, walnut armchairs, and Venetian and Victorian dining tables, all showing the luxury of the owner.

On the walls of the castle, there are a number of Western-style paintings, mostly portraits, of men with captain's hats and beards, and women in corseted gowns. This made Shakru secretly slander that the ancestors of Ezkenna would not all be the pirate captains of the past.

After browsing the castle, Shakru asked curiously, "Mr. Ezkenna, how much does your castle cost every year for repair, maintenance, and management?" ”

"It's about three million pounds a year." Ezkena replied casually, and then, as if thinking of something, continued: "Mr. Pandit, you also want to buy a castle like this?" There are no private castles for sale in England anymore, but there are still in France, so if you do, I'll keep an eye on it. ”

Shakru shook his head and said, "Don't bother, in fact, I just ask casually, I still prefer to live in India." ”

Ezkena nodded, "As Mr. Pandit, it is difficult to imagine the treatment you can enjoy in India in other countries, so it is normal for you to be reluctant to leave." ”
