Happy Tycoon
Chapter 9: Lao Yang, hold back and be afraid!
The next day began to clean up the things in the castle, and more than 20 professional "garbage disposers" went into battle together, from the basement to the attic, from the garage to the storage room, piles and piles may not be seen for decades or even hundreds of years. Everything in the sun has been cleaned out.
There is an old Chinese saying that “breaking a family is worth a million dollars”, and it still works in the UK.
The Valdi Castle has been built for more than four hundred years and nearly five hundred years ago. The Valdi family has always lived in this ancient castle. In the most prosperous period, more than forty Valdi lived in this ancient castle. Direct members of the family. In addition, more than 400 soldiers were stationed in the castle.
And it has been more than a hundred years since the last time the castle was completely cleaned up. According to the current butler of the castle, Mr. John, the last time the castle was cleaned up was during World War I.
However, after the First World War, the world structure has undergone tremendous changes. The original strong sun never sets the empire, and the Vardy family, which relies on the development of the British royal family, has also begun to decline with the decline of the British royal family. Otherwise, William Vardy's grandfather, the elder Baron William, would not invest in IKEA, but also began to invest in other industries.
The current Baron Vardy actually wants to make the family business more prosperous, but he has no slaying skills but no dragon slaying skills. Many important investments have made major mistakes, which directly led to the rapid decline of the Vardy family. Come down.
Now, this old castle, which has been inhabited for more than four hundred years and nearly five hundred years, cannot be kept, and those things that have not been cleaned up since World War I will naturally be revealed again.
There are still three catties of nails in the broken ship. Although the Vardy family declined rapidly, there are still many good things in the castle.
Among other things, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang saw the four garbage handlers responsible for cleaning the basement with their own eyes. They found a wooden box in a corner of the basement. As a result, they found a picture of Paul in the wooden box. The oil paintings in Cezanne's "Still Life" series...
Although the size of the oil painting is not large, but according to Paul Cezanne's reputation, if this oil painting is sold, the starting price must be at least eight digits, and the unit is Euro...
Of course, that painting cannot be taken out of the castle. Although Mr. John is a butler, his vision is sharp. A professional British butler like him knows more than many experts and professors. It's difficult to pick up the leak under his nose.
Not to mention that when cleaning up the castle this time, Baron Vardy invited a famous connoisseur and Mr. John to sit together at the British Museum.
With these two sitting in town, it is absolutely impossible for those who are too valuable to be taken out of the castle.
However, Yang Jing doesn’t have to worry about this. The "National Biography Dictionary" he has been paying attention to is interspersed in more than two hundred books. If you don’t look it up carefully one by one, you won’t find any flaws at all. . In the end, these books were finally sold to Yang Jing for five hundred pounds after a rough appraisal by the appraisal expert.
Although those books are some years old, they are all batch-printed books. They are not rare or isolated books. Let alone auction, they can't be sold at high prices even if they can be sold at the flea market.
The price of 500 pounds is still very suitable for Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang. These books, Guo Xiaoxiang, also estimated that they can sell for around 1,200 to 1,500 pounds at the flea market. The money is a lot of income for both of them, but Mr. John just looks down on it.
There are a lot of these books, and Fishguard does not have a large-scale flea market. If you want to get rid of these books, you have to get them to Cardiff, the capital of Wales, or big cities like London. Mr. John won't waste so much energy just because of a mere fee of over 1,000 pounds. By convention, these books that are useless to the family will naturally be sold to garbage handlers at a low price as a reward.
There are more than two hundred books in these books. After the cleanup work on the first day was over, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang worked for more than an hour before bringing these books back to the motel where they lived.
has been busy for two and a half days before the two of them cleaned out the entire attic. Except for those books, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang did not buy anything else.
After Yang Jing paid more than one hundred pounds to invite Guo Xiaoxiang to have a seafood dinner, the two returned to the hotel and began to deal with the books.
In fact, those books are nothing to Yang Jing at all, but Guo Xiaoxiang doesn't know yet, so Yang Jing will give Guo Xiaoxiang a surprise tonight.
"I said Lao Yang, what was the surprise you said?" Guo Xiaoxiang was obviously still thinking about the surprise, and asked Yang Jing while summarizing the books.
Yang Jing held the "National Biography Dictionary" and looked it up there carefully.
"Wait, if I am not wrong, the surprise will appear soon!"
Hearing what Yang Jing said, Guo Xiaoxiang stopped picking up those books. He stood up and wiped his hands and sat down beside Yang Jing, asking: "This book is the surprise you said?"
Yang Jing nodded. He just turned the book through and didn't see the three sketches. Now he is about to tear open the plastic cover of the book.
However, things are not that complicated. Yang Jing just opened the cover and took a look. UU reading www.uukanshu.com saw a slightly yellowed paper package lying quietly under the cover.
"What is this?" Guo Xiaoxiang asked in surprise.
Yang Jing shook his head and said: "I don't know what it is, but I think it should be a good thing, otherwise this paper bag will not be stuffed here by Baron Vardy's father or grandfather."
took out the paper bag carefully. The paper is very ordinary white paper, but because of the long time, although it has been in the cover, the color has become a little yellow.
put the paper bag on the table, Yang Jing took out a pair of white gloves and put on them, then carefully opened the paper bag.
The paper package contains several folded white papers. Because of the protection of the paper package, these white papers have not changed much.
After opening the pieces of white paper, I found that there were three sheets of 16-k size paper. On each piece of paper, there was a sketch of furniture. In the lower right corner of the sketch, there was a signature that Yang Jing was very familiar with.
Yang Jing has seen the signature too many times since he came to the UK. Of course he knows this signature.
And after seeing these three signatures, Guo Xiaoxiang's mouth grew involuntarily.
"Lao Yang, pinch me! I'm not dreaming, is this, this is Picasso's signature?"
Yang Jing, who had already known the result for a long time, naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He stretched out his hand and pinched the fat man's arm, but the fat man didn't respond.
Fatty's reaction was so frightening that Yang Jing was shocked, and he shook Fatty vigorously.
For a long time, the fat man shook his head, grinned and covered the pinched position, and said with a smile on his face: "Lao Yang, I am afraid, I know it hurts. This shows that I am not in a dream! Not in a dream, how do you explain these three Picasso paintings..."
