A treasure-appraisal maniac

Chapter 2595 What a big scene

This morning, the shops at the junction of Newgate Street and Newchange Street were packed to capacity.

Not only the cold drink shops, fast food restaurants, coffee shops, but also the handicraft shops are overcrowded.

Normally, shop owners would have to laugh so hard that they would faint in the toilet, but today, instead of laughing, the bosses were frowning.

Normally, people who come to fast food restaurants are office workers, who hurriedly order breakfast, finish eating in a hurry, and then leave immediately to start a busy day, but today the situation is different.

Customers who enter the store order a cup of coffee or a bag of chips and sit down without intending to get up. .??.

If they don't leave, outside customers won't be able to come in, and of course there will be no business.

The bosses were worried, but they couldn't force the customers out. The customers were their gods. If they did, the store's reputation would be ruined, so the bosses had no choice but to break their teeth and swallow it.

The fast food restaurants were better, as people still ordered some food to promote consumption. The tourist handicraft stores were also full, but the customers' eyes were not on the items at all, but were staring directly at the blocked area. The bosses were miserable.

Just like that, starting from seven o'clock in the morning, the surrounding area became completely lively.

The old residents living on the north bank of the Thames had never seen such excitement in their lives. They were all extremely curious and spread the word. By 8:30, almost all the residents of the two streets were gathered here.

Although I didn't dare to come forward, people were already gathering from a distance, and it was really lively.

"Hey guys, what do you think is going on over there?"

"God knows what they are doing, but the scene is really big!"

"Yes, I heard that a reporter on our street went up to inquire about the situation and was taken away by the police. He has not been released yet, so no one dares to ask."

"Hey, tell me, is there a big shot coming to visit St. Paul's Cathedral?"

"Well, it's very possible, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big scene!"

"What you said makes sense, but who is so famous?"

"I remember that back then, Prince Charles' wedding was not such a big event. Even the royal family can't do it. Who else can be so public?"

"Tch, if the royal family is not good, it does not necessarily mean that others are not good. Maybe the President of the United States will come to inspect it in person?"

"Hey, don't think so wildly. Let's keep an eye on that side carefully. We'll find out sooner or later what's going on."

The residents who were watching the excitement did not have to wait too long. At nine o'clock in the morning, a luxurious Bentley bulletproof motorcade slowly drove over.

There are a total of eighteen vehicles in this fleet, all of the same standard. They are all Bentley customized bulletproof vehicles. They are not in circulation at all on the market. Seeing this luxury fleet, the residents were completely shocked.

"I'll go, what a luxurious fleet!"

"The total value of these Bentleys is deliberately worth more than 20 million euros, right?"

"Bah, you ignorant thing, 20 million euros is nothing!"

"I have done in-depth research on Bentley. These models have never been seen on the market. They are very similar to a concept car launched by Bentley this year. However, the copyright of that concept car seems to have been acquired by a rich man. It is not circulating in the market.”

"These Bentleys are very similar to the concept car. If they are indeed the same model, including the copyright buyout fee, it is estimated that the unit price of each car will not be less than 20 million euros."

"And have you noticed that the sheet metal of these vehicles has obviously been specially treated? From my experience, these should be bulletproof vehicles. If so, the unit price of each vehicle will increase by tens of millions of euros!"

"puff"

"what?"

"Hey, 30 million euros for a car, why don't you be so exaggerated!"

"Oh God, I'm scared to death. This is too outrageous. It's so expensive. Even if I work hard all my life, I won't be able to afford a wheel!"

"Hey, who do you think is sitting in such a luxurious car? He can't really be the president of the United States, right?"

"Impossible. The President of the United States only rides in American cars, not in a Bentley. I guess the richest man in the world must be here."

People speculated that the convoy was approaching the blockade area at this time. Dozens of police officers immediately lined up on both sides to stand at attention and salute. The convoy did not pause and slowly drove in.

When the motorcade passed by just now, the policemen's eyes were full of brilliance, and they were very much looking forward to this kind of motorcade.

After the convoy entered, they immediately separated and returned to their positions, their faces becoming serious again. This huge contrast attracted a burst of boos from the residents.

After another ten minutes, twenty strong men in black suits and yellow skin came out of the blockade.

The two men were almost the same height, had crew-cut hair, each held a walkie-talkie, and had serious expressions.

The twenty people came out and did not say hello to the police. Instead, they established a second blockade behind the police, and then lined up on both sides to stand ready.

Seeing these black suits, the residents started talking again.

"Oh maika, what did I see? They turned out to be Asians."

"Yes, these Asians look so fierce. They are as majestic as the Asian bodyguards in the movies."

"Oh my God, why are there Asian faces here? This is unscientific!"

"Oh, I thought about it. We all guessed wrong just now. It's not the president of the United States who is coming to inspect. It should be me, the head of a certain Asian country, who is coming to St. Paul's Cathedral!"

"Well, your guess makes sense. With such a big name, it must be a big country in Asia. I guess the leader of China is here, right?"

"That's almost it. They say that Chinese people are rigorous in doing things. In order to protect their leader, it makes sense to put on such a big scene."

"Hey, Chinese people are really serious. As for being so careful, this is simply an insult to us. We are not terrorists, really."

Another half hour passed amidst people's discussion.

When the time came to nine o'clock in the morning, another motorcade drove over from a distance.

Although this fleet is not as exaggerated as the first bulletproof Bentley, it is also extremely luxurious.

What drove over this time was a Maybach convoy, also a bulletproof convoy, with as many as 24 vehicles. This scene once again shocked the residents.

The motorcade drove over, and the police saluted again. However, the motorcade did not stop in front of the police at all. Instead, it was stopped at the second blockade by Asian men in black suits.

Asian men in black suits carefully inspected each Maybach and made sure it was OK before letting it go.

When this kind of convoy drove in, Newgate and Newchange streets became completely lively.

A convoy of cars drove over, and they were released one by one after inspection. After the convoy passed, a single vehicle finally appeared. This morning, the shops at the junction of Newgate Street and Newchange Street were packed to capacity.

Not only the cold drink shops, fast food restaurants, coffee shops, but also the handicraft shops are overcrowded.

Normally, shop owners would have to laugh so hard that they would faint in the toilet, but today, instead of laughing, the bosses were frowning.

Customers who enter the store order a cup of coffee or a bag of chips and sit down without intending to get up.
