Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't mind Norton selling the Black Tiger or the sweaty horse he sold to him.

He smiled and said, "What you do with what is in your hands is your freedom."

However, if you are really short of cash, I suggest you follow the example of Hader and Ge Bai and buy the black tiger together.

One to reduce the pressure on your cash.

Second, after the partnership buys it, it will be sent to the zoo to raise, and in the future, it will be possible to return the cost in two or three years at most.

As for my benefit, I will naturally be able to get cash as soon as possible, and I will be able to get more and more precious antiques and oil paintings of the Celestial Empire. ”

Norton's heart moved, but this kid was so young that he still wanted to monopolize the profits.

"Why don't I go to the bank for a loan? As for collateral, I have a manor house in London, plus other properties, and I can lend almost £1 million."

Chu Xiangqian secretly said that this kid is really rich, and he inherited so much wealth at the age of 18.

And it's no wonder that ordinary people in Britain are becoming more and more hostile to the aristocracy.

It's true that these guys were born to stand at the finish line of someone else's life.

And they have been rich for generations.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian really didn't need to envy the nobles, he looked at Norton and said, "If you don't want to cooperate with Ge Bai and them, you can directly contact the London Zoo."

There is also a long-term perspective, and the business dealings between us are not just black tigers and sweaty horses.

To put it mildly, I've invested a lot of money in the Hunting Team, and those guys are extremely motivated right now.

Even if I go deep into the grasslands, deserts, and rainforests, I won't frown.

Even if necessary, do something that can't be made public, it's okay.

So in the future, there will be white lions, white elephants, white tigers, black tigers, white jaguars, and even golden tigers in my hands.

At that time, you can't buy them all, can you? ”

Norton thought for a moment and nodded helplessly.

Chu Xiangqian continued, "When the time comes, you help me find a buyer, and I will give you a 10% commission." Together, we fool the nouveau riche who are stupid and have a lot of money. ”

Norton's face was happy, but after a while, he frowned and said, "Master, if there were really so many mutant beasts, the price would not be as high as it is now. ”

Chu Xiangqian naturally understands this reason, the first white tiger can be sold for 300,000 pounds, or because this is the first white tiger in the world to appear in the public eye.

And Black Tiger Chu Xiangqian dared to offer 1.5 million pounds, thinking that the White Tiger was in the London Zoo and could earn hundreds of thousands of pounds a year by selling tickets.

By the way, it also boosts the reputation of London Zoo, and the more visitors there are, the better the other projects and businesses in the zoo will be.

Therefore, if the black tiger is still in the London Zoo, the benefits will be 1+1 greater than 2.

If the zoo knew about the existence of the black tiger, it would have spent 1.5 million pounds to buy the black tiger.

Thinking of the London Zoo, Chu Xiangqian's heart moved, looked at Norton and said, "Otherwise, let's tell the outside world that this black tiger is sold for 2 million pounds."

But in fact, I will sell it to you for 1.5 million.

Then you go and talk to the people at London Zoo and tell them that they only need to bid 1 million and split the tickets with you for the Black Tiger Pavilion.

You take the black tiger to their zoo.

Otherwise, you can contact the zoos in Paris, Rome or New York.

I believe that they will see the attraction of the white tiger to the people, and they will definitely try to quote a price from you.

And then you take those offers and go to London Zoo. Tell them that the only white tiger in the world, plus the integrated benefits of the black tiger, will definitely bring more visitors to their zoo.

In this way, the likelihood that they will say yes is very high.

In case it really doesn't work out, I believe you can go to the desert tyrants and sell them for 7 or 8 million US dollars, and it's still no problem. ”

Norton just did the math and knew he was making a lot of money.

£1,500,000 equals $6,000,000, and that alone can make one or two million dollars.

Coupled with the antiques and oil paintings of the Celestial Dynasty that Chu Xiangqian wanted, he could also take an intermediary fee from them.

And in the first two transactions, Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this kind of commission.

The two sums up, at least more than two million dollars in benefits, Norton just thought about it, and felt that this business would definitely be done.

Hurriedly got up and said, "Master, I'm going to call my grandfather." However, you'd better give me a few pictures of the black tiger in the next few days and fly it back to London. ”

"No problem", Chu Qianqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then secretly sighed, if he was Norton, or if he also had those connections and power behind him, he wouldn't have to let his kid take a kickback.

Fortunately, the big head was eaten by himself, and he didn't suffer a loss.

It's just that in this way, Chu Xiangqian also realized that he had to develop a new middleman.

Lest all the antiques and oil paintings of the Celestial Empire be collected by the Mountbatten family, over time, the number of times he does his hands and feet and the proportion of funds that are blackened will become higher and higher.

When Norton left, Chu looked forward at Margaret, who looked adoring.

Margaret saw her lover looking at her and sighed sincerely, "My dear, I really don't know how you came up with this kind of idea that involves a three-way or four-way transaction." ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, the intelligence of people in this era will definitely not be worse than those in a few decades.

But the vision, insight, and information received will be much worse.

Even in this era when television was not yet widely available, and information was all about newspapers, books, and real people. Even wealthy aristocrats such as Margaret and Norton may not receive as much information in the past 20 years as a 10-year-old child in the future.

So in terms of vision, the two of them are indeed too much worse than Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Just read more books." ”

Margaret immediately pouted, and she didn't know why, anyway, the proportion of people with dyslexia among Europeans and Americans is not low.

It is rumored to be 10 percent.

Maybe it has something to do with the text itself.

English does not correspond one-to-one from the shape of the characters to the pronunciation, and from the sound to the words.

Chinese is different, and a stroke itself reflects the rules.

Coupled with the constant repetition of writing since childhood, it is easy to remember the meaning of words and the image represented in your mind.

Therefore, the people of the Celestial Empire basically do not have dyslexia, but after we start to learn English, the irregular rules of writing will also make it difficult for some Celestial Empire people to read books smoothly.

Margaret pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "I hate you geniuses who learn everything quickly and can remember it when you see it." ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed after hearing this.

Margaret was immediately dissatisfied.

Reaching out and grabbing the little girl's hand that was twisted to his waist, he whispered, "The Devon Hill family, is there also a lot of Celestial Dynasty antiques?" ”

As soon as Margaret heard it, she understood that Chu Xiangqian, a collector, was eyeing the antiques of the Cavendish family.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I believe that their family must have collected a lot."

After all, I heard that many porcelain and ancient paintings of the Celestial Empire were very cheap. Even so cheap that £100 could buy a carriage of antiques from some officers. ”

Chu Xiangqian's face sank, knowing that this was about 100 years ago, those soldiers who returned to Britain and France from the Celestial Empire sold the treasures of the Celestial Empire on a large scale.

Of course, £100 100 100 ago was actually worth a lot.

Margaret also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and shook her arm around Chu Xiangqian and said, "I'm sorry, dear, I shouldn't have mentioned a hundred years ago. ”

Chu Xiangqian took a deep breath, if he didn't have a positive or negative relationship with Margaret, even if he knew what happened back then, it had nothing to do with Margaret, but the mistakes made by his ancestors might not be able to forgive their descendants.

If you really want to forgive yourself, at least you have to return what you stolen.

But this is not possible.

Expecting the descendants of the robbers to admit their mistakes is simply a matter of daylight.

Therefore, when the Europeans and Americans discover in the future, Chu Xiangqian has a large number of European and American precious oil paintings in his hands, and after the antiques, he will not return them.

Besides, why should you pay back what you bought with your own money?

If you want to take it back, take the money to buy it.

When the time comes, Chu Xiangqian will 100% contact those collectors in Europe and the United States who have Picasso and other oil paintings in their hands, and copy Picasso's oil paintings together.

Even if the tyrants of the Celestial Empire want to buy it, it will be slaughtered.

And at this moment, Chu Xiangqian made up his mind, and when he arrived in London, he would go to the Big Baby Museum to have a look.

If you have the chance, be a thief.

But Chu Xiangqian is not stupid, those things that have been exhibited are not easy to take, but if his memory is correct.

It seems that there are hundreds of thousands of antiques from the Celestial Empire in the Big Baby Museum, and even in the future decades later, they have never been registered.

Take these things, that's really one or two thousand pieces missing, and the Big Baby Museum won't necessarily know that it's missing in a few years.

This is not Chu Xiangqian's nonsense, the six large-scale thefts of the Big Baby Museum before and after have long been no secret on the Internet in later generations.

Even the inner ghost has been committing crimes for several years in a row, stealing hundreds of pieces, and the museum itself does not know about it.

It wasn't until there were stolen cultural relics that they appeared in the auction house that they were exposed.

But even so, the Big Baby Museum still said to the outside world that there was no such thing at all.

Then a source broke the news that there were hundreds of thousands of Celestial Empire antiques in the museum that had not been recorded.

There's nothing greasy in this, Chu Xiangqian doesn't believe it.

Maybe the museum people did it on purpose.

However, this kind of thing seems to be the same all over the world.

Chu Xiangqian felt that if he built a private museum in the future, it should be difficult to completely prohibit human greed.

"Okay, okay", Chu Qian patted Margaret's hand, "This has nothing to do with you, of course, if you don't think it's right, then help me get more Celestial Dynasty antiques back."

Of course, I will spend money on it. ”

Margaret glanced at Chu Xiangqian, knowing that he was being sarcastic, but it was the same reason why Chu Xiangqian didn't blame Margaret.

Margaret had long put Chu Xiangqian in a very important position in her heart, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was conquered by him physically and mentally.

In addition, this woman herself is a love brain, otherwise she would not have been able to do the first thing about falling in love with a married man who is 18 years older than herself.

After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't I sell the porcelain white sweat horse you gave me to the little girl of the Cavendish family first?" ”

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, although he was using Margaret's influence, but this chick was so considerate of herself, and there were too many positive and negative relationships, it was impossible to say that there was no emotion.

If you think about it, the Devon Hill family, the Cavendish family of the Duke of Devonshire, has a large source of income from agricultural and animal products.

You may be able to wholesale peaches, lychees, bayberry and cherries from the novice village to their families.

But this thought was only for a moment, and it was rejected by Chu Xiangqian himself.

Don't look at these fruit trees, in the novice village, there are 10 of each, 100 catties a day, but only 3,000 catties a month, which is equivalent to only 1.5 tons.

If you eat it alone, you will never finish it.

It can be used as a good fruit gift, or to maintain a high-end customer base, and it can also build dozens or hundreds of customers.

However, in these years, fruit preservation technology was extremely underdeveloped, and it had to be transported to London by air.

And the number is really too small, people don't look down on it at all.

Maybe I could open a fresh fruit shop in London.

But if you really want to open this store, it is better to open it on Hong Kong Island.

Air freight, packaging, and management thousands of miles away are all big troubles.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to hit the horse race.

And if you think about it, the matter of recovering the antiques of the Celestial Empire from England seems to be a bit rushed.

Just by trading with Norton, he recovered nearly 300 pieces of porcelain, 60 pieces of calligraphy and paintings, and 15 pieces of bronzes.

And each piece is a treasure of hundreds or thousands of pounds.

Of course, in the eyes of the English, these antiques are ordinary goods. But in the era of national collection in the future, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure.

Maybe a few pounds at this time, dozens of pounds of cultural toys in the future, are hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of treasures.

If it weren't for the fact that it was still easy to buy treasures now, Chu Xiangqian would have wanted to wholesale thousands or thousands of pieces of these literary toys back.

But if you really do that, it seems too stupid, after all, there are treasures, who can still look at ordinary goods.

Moreover, if the number of these things is too large in the future, it will not be so easy to get a shot.

Rich people can't afford it, ordinary people can't afford it, and they won't buy it.

It is equivalent to having a price but no market, so it is really in your own hands.

It will not be meaningful until Chu Xiangqian is really not short of money, and when he buys more and comes back, when he builds a museum, and uses it to increase the number of collections.

Looking at Margaret with a worried expression, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Forget it, when our champion knight wins the championship, there is no need to specifically contact the Cavendish family." ”

Margaret thought about it and nodded, the Triple Crown championship itself is an advertisement, and there will definitely be no shortage of nobles and rich people who will find their mistresses to order horses.

Among these people, there must be many people, like the Mountbatten family, who would rather take out some of the antiques of the Celestial Empire and the oil paintings of not famous painters to offset the cash payment.

There really is no need to go out of your way to contact the Cavendish family.

Besides, their family is most likely the same as the Mountbatten family, after a few transactions, they are reluctant to take out the best products, and they have to go outside to buy them themselves.

In this way, things are also more expensive.

Rather than let them make a fortune, it is better to contact other nobles directly.
