And it was because he and Archduke Ferdinand were the same children of noble marriages that it became clear that Mesimilian was likely to become the crown prince of Austria-Hungary in the future, after all, the precedent for Archduke Ferdinand was there.

However, Otto Franz really has nothing to be disgusted with a few little guys, struggle is struggle, discord is discord, but for the next generation of Otto Franz is not ready to involve them.

Isn't that how Archduke Ferdinand and Karl are? Although many of them had different philosophies and completely opposite positions, this did not affect Archduke Ferdinand's appreciation and identification with Karl.

At the same time as Bert, Archduke Otto Franz looked at the small wooden boxes carried by the two guards and asked with some confusion: "What are these?" ”

"Some jewelry and gold and silver utensils, I'm going to find an auction house to sell."

There was no need to hide this, and at the same time that Mysimilian and the Sufi lord were amazed at the wealth of Ernst, Otto Franz was also puzzled.

"The wealth you bring from the Vatican should be enough! Why sell these things? ”

Really...... Now even this playboy knows that he is very rich, it seems that he should be careful when he goes out, in case there are investment businessmen and declining aristocrats who come to fight the autumn breeze, how can he refuse if he is far away?

Such a thing is not uncommon, an archbishop of the Vatican has faced a similar thing, relatives and friends come to ask for help, do you borrow or not? If you don't borrow, it is said that you are stingy and it is very likely that you will not get it back, and it will even take a long time, even if you borrow not much, the amount will slowly accumulate to a certain amount.

No, didn't Karl tell Otto Franz about investing in the railway? There's no reason for that! Could it be that Carl can have full control over such a big matter?

As it was, Karl did not say anything or even mentioned it, and when Ernst told the story, Otto Franz couldn't help but nod.

"It's also a good choice to find you, Karl is not facing a very good situation now, if you are willing to help, he will definitely thank you very much."

Otto Franz and Karl seem to be very clear, at this time he is talking about him, him and him instead of us, and here it can be seen that the relationship between their father and son is not very good. However, this would explain why Archduke Ferdinand and Ernst were very envious of Karl when he met Emperor Franz.

"Who is rare in his gratitude!"

This was the muttering of Misimilian, I believe Otto Franz had heard it, but he chose to play dumb, and Ernst naturally would not be idle and say anything in such a situation.

Vienna Maria Hilfeld shopping street

Looking at the lively environment and the many antiques, accessories, jewelry, and catering shops, Ernst expressed his gratitude to Otto Franz with great satisfaction.

Naturally, such a place would not be known to Misimilian or the Sufi Lord, especially if Steward Lenna did not come with him.

Otto Franz is a well-known playboy in Vienna, and it is clear from his acquaintance that there are no fewer places like this, but Ernst prefers to believe that he goes to more shops for accessories and jewelry than for antique shops.

"This one is very good, the price is on the high side and it is very reputable."

Otto Franz's recommendation was not wrong, Ernst was happy to accept his recommendation, and the waiter who entered the door was very respectful, because he knew Otto Franz's identity. Look at a few little guys, although they are very young, Bert and a few young people behind him are obviously servants, plus the leader is Otto Franz, whose identity is uncertain but it is clear that he is not an ordinary person.

The shop is not very large, but if you look at the interior environment, you can see that it is probably some fine jewelry for sale, and Ernst believes that his own items can be sold at a good price in such a place.

At the behalf's arrangement, Ernst and Otto Franz sat down for coffee, while Bert and a few servants followed another hostess to attend to the sale.

"Actually, you can let them handle this kind of thing by themselves."

Otto Franz was puzzled, because no nobleman liked to sell things himself, and if he did, it would be fine.

Ernst's explanation for Otto Franz's doubts is that he wants to visit Vienna, which is not a lie but a sincere idea, after all, wouldn't it be in vain if he didn't come to Vienna without listening to a concert or going shopping?

Next? I don't know when the next time I will come, and Ernst knows very well that the First World War will come in a few years, and he will still be in the mood to enjoy the concert at that time? And you still need to stay in Vienna for a while, and it's not very good to be at the palace all the time, so it's a good idea to relax when you come out for a stroll.

Ernst's explanation Otto Franz nodded in agreement, he also felt that the palace was too depressing, far less free and happy than outside.

And just when Ernst was in the mood to negotiate with Otto Franz, in another room, two old men looking at a box of jewelry, gold, silver, ornaments and utensils in amazement.

"Are these what you're going to sell?"

Although most of them are not collectible, there are some cases where a few years may increase the price by a factor or two, which is not a joke but a fact.

The management of the store couldn't help but move when he saw the two appraisers who were very amazed, although the other party said that he only sold jewelry to himself, but it was obvious that other things were also ready to be sold together, and if he bought them all, he believed that the other party would not necessarily refuse.

"What's the estimated price?"

The management quietly asked his appraiser, to which the appraiser did not give an immediate answer, but looked at it for a while before quietly gesturing with a gesture.8

Just now Bert has indicated that he only wants pounds, so the price given by the appraiser is already obvious at this time, and he hesitates in his heart to manage or prepare to take this batch of goods.

"£80,000, if you want, we can sell this box of goods for £80,000."

Bert's words of management surprised Bert, is this going to buy it all at once? If that's fine, at least be happy, after all, I don't know how long it will take to sell one by one, especially the auction house.

Although he knew that this would cost a lot, compared to the time saved, Bert thought that Ernst would choose this option. Of course, this was just his guess, and Ernst had to be asked exactly what happened.

After expressing his intentions, the management naturally said that it was okay, and Bert left the management to negotiate with the appraisal in detail, and he knew that if the young man who was obviously the owner agreed, then all that remained was to negotiate the price, and at this time it was naturally beneficial to the management to have a clear understanding of the goods.
