Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After the young man who sent the invitation left, Liang En immediately ran to the gym to discuss with Fan Meng about participating in the auction.

After all, in the original plan, Fan Meng came to Toronto just to take a chance to take a rest. After Liang En finished the work, he would return to the UK with him and would not participate in the auction.

But now that there is an extra spot, Liang En will naturally invite Fan Meng to participate in this auction with him. After all, they are a team, and it is best to go to activities together as a group.

Naturally, Fan Meng did not refuse this invitation, especially since ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to board the yachts of top wealthy people and participate in their auctions, so he would not let go of such an opportunity.

"I think it's normal for the other party to do this." Just when Liang En said that he didn't know why the auction organizer sent an invitation letter to him, Fan Meng immediately replied.

"Don't forget, you can now be called the number one person of the younger generation in Egyptology. So there is a high probability that this rich man will find you on the list and give you an invitation."

"So that's it!" Liang En muttered as he patted his forehead lightly.

To be honest, he completed those academic studies so quickly when he had a golden finger that he didn't even have time to get used to the change in his identity.

From this point, we can also see that Liang En's choice of the scholar's path after getting the golden finger was correct. After all, if he just became an antique dealer, he might get more money than he does now, but his social status would most likely be far inferior.

Soon, the time came to the appointed day. After breakfast, Liang En and Fan Meng each put on a very formal suit, and then took the hotel's vehicle straight to the dock.

Soon, they appeared at the passenger terminal. When the car stopped at the edge of the red carpet, Liang En and Fan Meng got out of the car and saw the luxury yacht at the end of the red carpet. "

Driving this kind of boat out for adventure, it can only be said that rich people really know how to play. "Looking at the white yacht in front of him shining in the sun, Liang En muttered subconsciously.

Because he found that this boat was obviously a real luxury yacht, and it was estimated that just a scratch on the surface of the hull might cost thousands or even tens of thousands of euros to repair.

According to the information Liang En checked before, this yacht is a super expedition yacht with a length of nearly 70 meters and a displacement of 2,275 tons. The maximum speed is 12.5 knots and it can travel 6,000 nautical miles when cruising at 11 knots.

The entire yacht is also highly automated, requiring only 17 crew members to sail away. It can also meet the various requirements of 12 guests who can stay on board for a long time.

The most exaggerated thing is that this ship not only has complete icebreaking capabilities, but also comes with an Airbus ec145 helicopter, a small submarine that can accommodate three passengers, four snowmobiles and four four-wheel off-road vehicles. car.

Of course, this boat is also very expensive. Not to mention the nearly 80 million euros in boat purchase costs. Just the maintenance fee of about 500,000 euros for a week at sea is not something ordinary people or even ordinary rich people can afford.

However, after boarding the yacht, Liang En felt that it was reasonable for the boat to be so expensive. At least the decoration on it could fully reflect the noble taste of the yacht owner.

"Welcome to my auction, Mr. Liang." Just when Liang En and Fan Meng came to the door of the living room under the guidance of the crew, an old man with gray hair but good spirits greeted Liang En and expressed his welcome.

This old man was the wealthy Swedish businessman surnamed Skård. His face and hands looked a little rough, obviously the traces brought to him by the expedition, but he looked very energetic and his back was straight.

"It's an honor to receive your invitation." Liang En shook hands with the old man. Although this boss is really addicted to food, being willing to stay in the wild all day long at such an old age is considered true love. .

To be honest, Liang En feels that apart from his interest in history, the reason why he loves this industry now is also a big part of the reason.

If you are the same age as this big man, with a net worth of tens or even tens of billions but have always had trouble on the road to adventure, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to persist in doing this thing year after year like this old man.

"I have prepared rooms for you all. If you need anything, you can directly ask the staff on the ship. The auction will be held at 5 pm. Before that, you can have a good rest on the ship."

Mr. Scord personally took them to a guest room, and then said to them, "The auction items to be auctioned today are all in the living room on the first floor. You can also go and take a look in advance."

"Thank you, sir." Liang En nodded, and then he and Fan Meng walked into their guest room. Apparently the other party was investigating their situation, so they arranged a cabin with two twin beds.

Liang En and the others were not the first to arrive, so when they simply arranged their appearance and went to the hall downstairs to take a look at today's auction items, they found that there were already three or four people in the hall.

There is a long row of glass cabinets of different sizes placed against the wall and around the hall. Each glass cabinet contains an item that will be auctioned at the evening auction.

"Sure enough, the quality of the things here is even comparable to that of some museum collections." Liang En sighed in a low voice after looking at the contents in front of several unoccupied glass cabinets.

For example, there is a beautiful necklace in the glass cabinet in front of him, a necklace made of gold, enamel and opal with an asymmetrical grapevine shape.

This necklace uses gold as the main body, uses enamel to make the transition from yellow to green in the leaves, and uses small black opal with flame luster to make grapes. It can be said that it restores the true form of nature.

From the nameplate under the glass cabinet, Liang En learned that this necklace was designed and produced by Louis Confork Tiffany, the famous American artist and son of Charles Tiffany, the founder of Tiffany Jewelry Company.

There is no doubt that this is a representative work of jewelry from the American Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is an artistic masterpiece worthy of being placed in a museum.

Of course, this thing will definitely not be cheap in terms of price. The top artistic design and the master's bonus make this thing worth at least millions of dollars, which is definitely not something that Liang En can afford now.

However, the auction cannot be all good things of this level. For example, Liang En saw many glass cabinets with items priced between tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars that should be sold at the opening. auction.

"These sketches look quite beautiful." Fan Meng whispered when Liang En and the others walked to a glass cabinet. A sketchbook is spread out in a glass cabinet, with some lifelike images of people drawn on it.

"It's a pity that we don't know who drew these." Looking at those exquisite sketches, Liang En showed a regretful expression, because there was no signature on this sketch book, which greatly reduced the quality of this sketch book. The value of the booklet.
