Just a dozen kilometers away on the outskirts of New York City, Colt Manor is a small manor house with a three-story brick and stone villa standing in the middle of a field. Guo Yu arrived with Jill in a carriage, and the housekeeper welcomed the two into the living room of the manor.

They were received by William Colt, the second son of the Colt family.

Both sides knew the intention of today's visit, and after a pleasant greeting, William led Guo Yu to admire the antique artworks collected in the art collection room on the third floor.

There are many works of art, and they are also very complicated, including Chinese antique calligraphy and paintings, Egyptian pharaonic utensils, silverware, artwork oil paintings, and so on.

Damn, these Chinese antiques were not looted when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered the capital, and now I have to let the master spend money to buy them back.

There are really a lot of good things, Guo Yu has also learned a lot of cultural relics knowledge during this period of time, but he is still mainly based on domestic cultural relics, look at the cultural relics placed on it, porcelain Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Jun porcelain and porcelain, blue and white porcelain, enamel color, are quite complete, this family has not less robbed.

There are also a lot of large vessels, Tibetan Buddhism Da Ri Rulai standing statue, more than 80 centimeters high, and it is pure gold, not gilded, the price of gold is not high now, but it is expensive in modern times, such a large pure gold antique Buddha statue, absolutely shocking.

There are more than 3,000 gems representing the stars inlaid on the top of the gold bead geodynamic instrument, which is good, and must be won.

Damn, what did I see, there was a bronze beast head, it was a dragon head, damn, the evidence was confirmed for them, it must be a cultural relic of the Old Summer Palace.

Others, such as Egyptian cultural relics and European oil paintings, Guo Yu did not study them carefully.

Guo Yu looked around, both happy and helpless, these are all cultural relics and treasures of Huaguo, but the country is weak, and it is really embarrassing to be beaten up at home and robbed of things.

Guo Yu looked at William Colt and said, "I like these antiques very much, and I intend to buy them all, what does Mr. Colt think." ”

"I bought them all, I have more than 2,000 collectibles here, Mr. Guo is it sure?" William was somewhat unconvinced.

"Then it depends on Mr. Colt's sincerity, if the offer is too high, beyond my estimate, then I will not buy it, not a single one." Guo Yu obviously threatened William with words.

I thought about it too much, didn't you rob my country's treasure, I spent money to buy it back in this time and space, and also bought your European antiques and artworks, and then sold them to you at a high price in modern time and space, see if you buy it or not, I will also pit you.

William did not answer Guo Yu immediately, but found a housekeeper to evaluate and sort out the existing antiques, and Guo Yu was not in a hurry, and slowly admired these works of art in the collection room.

"Mr. Guo, we have 588 pieces of antiques from China, 1,220 pieces of art from Europe, and 340 pieces of art from other countries, a total of 2,148 pieces, and we offer $5.8 million." After half a day of calculations, William finally gave an offer.

"Europe, God, it's too expensive, Chinese antiques are not worth much, now the European war is lively, the price of European art is getting lower and lower, other countries like Egypt and African cultural relics, is there artistic value at all, your price is too high, Mr. William, I am sincere, if you sell one by one, it is very troublesome, I bought them all in order to save you trouble, but you can't treat me as a donkey, I am not wronged." Guo Yu's tone was a little angry.

William also knows that the price drop in the art market is very strong now, especially European art, but the price of European art is also the highest in the past, and he still calculates according to the original price, and really wants to pit Guo Yu.

Seeing Guo Yu get up to leave, William hurriedly stopped him, there are really few people who can buy all the works of art now, and he can't let Guo Yu go like this.

"Okay, Mr. Guo, you come up with a price, we can negotiate." William hurriedly said.

"2.5 million, up to 2.5 million, this is the highest price I can offer, if I don't agree, I will retreat." Guo Yu turned to William and said.

"I'm going to talk to my father, please wait a minute." This price also made William very entangled, his original intention was at least 4 million, and he should be able to sell it at this price one by one, but that would be really embarrassing, and it would let everyone know that the Colt family is not good now, and the speed is too slow.

Guo Yu sat down again to drink tea, and waited for a while before William returned.

"Mr. Guo, you won, $2.5 million, these things are all yours." William's tone was very low, but he could see that he was relieved.

Knowing that you are 250, Guo Yu secretly laughed in his heart.

Leaving Jill in charge of supervising the packing, Guo Yu was invited to the Colt family's dinner, the atmosphere was very harmonious, the Colt family has many types of business, of which food sales account for a large part, if it weren't for their factory in Europe just in the war zone, it wouldn't be so wolf, they should have made a fortune in the war.

Guo Yu was very happy to go back, went to the warehouse to put all the artworks into the space, and then kept taking out a piece to appreciate, yes, it is indeed a fine artwork, just take Paul. As far as Cézanne's painting of an apple still life is concerned, Colt's current estimate is $20,000, because Paul Cézanne has just died ten years ago, and his fame is not so great, but in modern times, one of his paintings has been auctioned for 250 million dollars, which is still a dollar, and only those oil exponents dare to spend so much money.

There are really a lot of good things, after all, they are the collections of large families, and they are all carefully selected, and a special person is responsible for evaluating the artistic value.

This New York art trip was basically a successful completion, but Guo Yu had a long-term acquisition plan, so he called Jill.

"Jill, I want to open an antique art company in New York, would you like to help me run it here and help me manage it." Guo Yu said to Jill.

"Okay boss, I'll definitely do a good job." can be his own boss, who wants to go back to be a subordinate, Jill excitedly agreed.

"Then I'll tell you how to operate, our company is different from other art companies, mainly acquisition, that is, for me to acquire, I hope you polish your eyes, collect good things, calligraphy and painting, I will give you a list."

After Guo Yu finished speaking, he took out a long list of people, all of whom were the names of great painters in the past few hundred years and those who are not famous now but will be famous in the future, Van Gogh, Picasso and others are impressively listed, and even list the current residence of these people or the location of the collection of paintings after death, their behavior is simply outrageous.

Guo Yu instructed Jill to organize people to look for these people's works after setting up the company, and how many to collect. Nowadays, there are many people's works that no one really wants.

After leaving Jill with start-up capital, Guo Yu returned to his home in Los Angeles. After two days of rest in the villa, it was back to modern times.

Guo Yu contacted Huang Jiaqiang to ask how the acquisition of the ships was going, and learned that the original four ships had been acquired and were being overhauled, and they would sail to Africa in about ten days, and he contacted eight freighters, which were being negotiated, and he also hoped that Guo Yu would take a look at the information of these ships so that the matter could be determined.

Guo Yu and Huang Jiaqiang met in a café, and the two were familiar with each other, so they were not as polite as before, so they chose a more relaxed place.

Guo Yu looked at the information, the situation of these ships was roughly the same as the four ships in front, the situation was almost the same, Guo Yu made a decision, the two were of the same age, so they chatted, in fact, both of them were close, so they chatted very speculatively.

Huang Jiaqiang also said that he has been busy with Guo Yu's case recently, and his old father is celebrating his birthday, so he is really busy.

When Guo Yu heard this, he felt that this was an opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang celebrates his birthday, since I, as a junior, I will definitely visit, and Jiaqiang must give me an invitation when the time comes." ”

"Then what's embarrassing, you have to trouble Mr. Guo." Huang Jiaqiang was also surprised, but he also thought that Guo Yu was trying to get closer, so he didn't care too much.

Guo Yu must seize such an opportunity, he really has nowhere to find the iron shoes, the eldest brother sent it himself, and he will go to the Huang family's birthday banquet in a few days to see the beautiful Teacher Huang.
