The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The place for the small trade fair was not in Toe’s Manor, but in a relatively old building in the city of London, which was originally part of a palatial manor house.

Later, due to the development of central London, the fall of the Earl family also naturally demolished here. However, the original owner left a piece of land and built a small building in front of him.

Although the building looks very old from the outside, but because it is in the city center, it is worth a lot, and it is also a certain bonus for the noble heritage. Therefore, if the owner of this small building is willing to sell it, the price is enough. An ordinary person is prosperous for the rest of his life.

A lot of people came to attend the small trade fair. The front of the building was full of cars, and many of them were people who gathered at the Toe Manor during the day. However, compared with the grand dress when attending the party, how much people wear to attend this private fair is very casual.

There were a few men who came out of the car with smiles and a hot chat with a smile. What they brought with them was no longer their female companions at the party, but a few people who were on the lawn before. Carrying a wine glass, constantly wandering to talk to the little star and female model.

Toy also had a female companion beside him, not his wife. Since he took his family overseas, let alone other people, even friends like Yang Dongxu, have seen Toy's wife countless times.

Maybe his wife is now with children in the UK, maybe in the US, or in a small town in Mexico. In short, when Dong Yi had a child, Yang Dongxu also gave a gift, but now the child is estimated to be in elementary school, but he has not seen it once.

He was also accompanied by a female companion, a sommelier who was said to be in a famous British winery, and a foreign man named Hayes who was about 1.8 meters tall on heels.

I don't know if he really works in the winery. Hayes has a very good temperament, with a trace of nobility in his laziness, like a Persian cat squinting.

But the most attractive thing is her figure, especially the two peaks in front of her chest. Even if everyone is wearing a coat outside in early spring, they still can't stop the great shore of her chest.

"Let's go advanced, isn't it that the greenhouse effect has occurred in recent years? Why is it still so cold after the winter is over?" When a cold wind came down from the car, Toy tightened his woolen coat.

I don't know if it is a special hobby or a legacy. When men in the UK, regardless of their status, wear coats, few people wear fur coats. All of this is the woolen coat that looks like the last century. Maybe some of the materials are more advanced and the price is more expensive, but basically the style is similar, there is no new style or personalized customization.

When entering a small building, the temperature is higher, but no air conditioning is turned on. In Europe and the United States, unless it is an office area of ​​an office building, residents rarely use air conditioning in their homes.

In the winter, a ray of warmth is aligned with the rural area of ​​Northeast China—Burning Kang.

Of course, people don’t call it Kang called fireplace. The fireplace in the house was burning, several long sofas were placed in an orderly manner, and the other furniture in the living room was basically emptied. Obviously, the owner specially prepared for this small trade fair.

A group of people walked inside talking and laughing. After sitting down, a few people walked out of the house like a butler, then opened the suitcase and took out red wine or cigars from inside.

Afterwards, it seems that everyone did not come to the small trade fair, but came to a casual tea party. The female companions around them were sobering and helping to cut cigars.

I just watched these people at the door and followed them carrying a box. Yang Dongxu thought it was an item to participate in this small trade fair, or a little more local tyrant carrying a box of money. He really didn't expect that the boxes were filled with red wine and cigars, and a whole set of professional utensils.

"Thank you for taking the time to visit. Old Luo Fu is very grateful. Now we will not delay everyone's precious time. The fair will begin." A bald middle-aged uncle came out with a smile on his face.

Yang Dongxu knew this person, and the uncle who gathered on the grass and played the accordion today was introduced to him by Toe before he came. The bald middle-aged uncle was named Rolfe Craven, and his son, the young man who played the harmonica, was called Rolfe Craven.

Sometimes foreigners choose their names very randomly. A small character in front of their father becomes their own name, or if they encounter any interesting names they like, they can change their names anytime and anywhere, even if their surnames are changed. .

For example, after Detective Sherlock Holmes became popular in the UK, there were many boys who liked to explore from an early age. When they grew up, they changed their name to Sherlock Holmes.

Luo Fu’s ancestors were once glorious. In the past, the land here was all his family’s land, because his grandfather was an earl. This knighthood was built in the Middle Ages, but he could build a castle and become a nobleman who generally existed as a small king.

But when his family inherited his father's generation, he lost ground because of successive investment losses. The small land in the city center now has this small building, and now it is still necessary to live on the sale of some of his grandfather's collections.

Luo Fu, who had finished speaking, did not delay, turned directly to the basement, and then moved out with the embarrassed son Luo Fu Xiao one by one.

Similar to what Toy said, most of the things that were moved out were some things from medieval Europe, such as the general, or the chopper and cross swords used by celebrities, oil paintings by some famous painters, and some bronzes. .

However, this bronze is not a bronze of China, but a bronze statue of some people or animals, which looks like an angel or a demon, and some celebrities.

Then there are some jewellery pieces, with some simple slogans next to them, indicating that these jewellery pieces come from that era and were once worn by celebrities.

Porcelain and Chinese calligraphy and painting are also a few, but Yang Dongxu is not interested after two glances. He can say that he has collected various things since he was a child. Now he can definitely open the museum by himself.

And it is still the top museum with many national treasure collections. So there are more good things, and naturally he is not interested in seeing these not so good things.

It took more than an hour for Luo Fu and his son to move out all the things they want to sell today. I don’t know if the basement below has been evacuated. Even if it is not half empty, it is estimated that the remaining people are not very interested. Oriental shareholders are gone.

When Luo Fu and his son moved things, the people who came to the trade fair in the house tasted red wine and smoked cigars. From time to time, someone touched their female companions, causing a shy anger.

Occasionally, when I encounter something that I am interested in but I am not sure about it, I will whisper it with the people around me. There was no quotation for everything, and after all it was put out, he stood beside him with a smile on his face, allowing the guests in the room to discuss his collection at will.

"How much is that sapphire brooch? Are you sure it was ever worn by the queen?" A bearded man with a cigar on his finger pointed to the jewelry box that he did not want to put on a stool.

In the jewelry box is a brooch with exquisite workmanship, but because of the age, the gold of the brooch oxidized does not look so beautiful, but the largest sapphire inlaid in gold is extremely dazzling.

This is the shape of a top sapphire and six other smaller sapphires inlaid together to form a flower.

"It's just suspected, this can't be guaranteed. But it was at least worn by the princess, because this thing is the same as the congratulatory gift sent by the queen and the princess when my grandfather got married. It's just because the age is a bit old. It was not carefully recorded, so it was a bit confusing." Luo Fu said.

"That's it." Bearded rubbed his chin, and his interest seemed to be less for a while.

"In fact, even if these historical values ​​are removed, its own value is not low. The largest piece of sapphire has 101.6 carats, which is definitely not bad after being certified by a special agency.

And its quality is very high, there is only a tiny crack inside, and other aspects are exceptionally perfect. Such a good texture of such a large sapphire is usually rare. "Luo Fu tried to make the smile on his face more friendly.

Hearing Luo Fu's words, the bearded man took a cigar and seemed to hesitate. Almost half of his female companion sitting beside him hung on his body, looking at the sapphire brooch. .

"How much do you plan to sell it?" Bearded asked.

"£150,000~www.ltnovel.com~ As long as it is £150,000, it belongs to you." Luo Fu said, even though he wanted to remain calm, but his breathing was still uncontrollable.

There is no way, if he doesn't get the money, he will file for bankruptcy. It seems that he inherited his father's bad luck, and he has also invested and failed in these years.

His son is also a little bit dissatisfied, and it is estimated that he has no chance to inherit his viscount title. Originally spending money to let him do some business, the result is that investing in a restaurant is now half dead. So their father and son are waiting to save their lives after realizing these inedible gadgets.

Luo Fu's offer caused the beard to frown. This price is actually much higher. It is estimated to be the price after adding the historical significance of this brooch.

The pound-to-dollar ratio has been very stable, basically hovering between 1:1.2 and 1:1.3. If it is calculated according to the ratio of 1.3, it will be nearly 200,000 US dollars. Converted into RMB according to the current ratio is 1.6 million.

According to the current sapphire market, this price is enough to buy a sapphire with the same texture as this one.
