Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After sending the paper, it’s up to the other party to review it. According to tradition, it is difficult for a pure newcomer like Liang En to be noticed by such a famous magazine and publish his own content.

But considering that this paper can be said to have taken a very important step in deciphering ancient Egyptian texts, there is still a high probability that the other party will get a chance from a newcomer like him.

But no matter what, whether the paper can be published after it is sent out lies in the hands of the reviewers and editors. So for Liang En, this work naturally came to an end with the publication of the paper.

So after realizing that today was the day of the auction, Liang En immediately drove straight to the Emerald Thrift Store to find out what the outcome of the auction would be.

"You came so fast, I was planning to call you to come over and give you money." After seeing Liang En enter the door, Pierce, who had just come in and was taking off his windbreaker, immediately showed a surprised expression.

"I just finished sending that paper more than an hour ago. I went downstairs to have breakfast and rushed over." Liang En walked to the counter and leaned against it and asked. "How was the auction today?"

"Very good, the four lots I found are all relatively popular." Pierce said, coming out from behind the counter and locking the store door, and then handed a school bag to Liang En.

"Your money is all here, now click it."

Compared with ordinary people who use credit cards for large transactions, many antique dealers or treasure hunters prefer to use cash for such transactions. So Liang En naturally took the schoolbag and took out the banknotes inside to count them.

"Why are they all 50 pounds?" Liang En frowned slightly as he looked at a few stacks of brand new red banknotes.

Because in the UK, the maximum cash used on weekdays is usually 20 pounds. These brand-new 50-pound banknotes are really a bit too eye-catching.

"No way, those nobles did take into account our habit of liking cash. But they only had a superficial understanding. And I can't say anything in this regard." Pierce shrugged.

"18,200 pounds, you didn't give me too much, did you? I remember you only owed me 15,000 pounds on that gun." After counting the money twice, Liang En asked with some confusion.

"Of course I didn't pay too much. Your necklace was sold for 3,200 pounds. And considering that the gun was sold for a good price, I won't do this deal."

"3,200 pounds? But I remember that the overall condition of the dragonfly eye is relatively average, so the market price is between 800 and 900 pounds. Including the original trade beads, it can be sold for around 1,500 pounds at most."

"You are talking about taking the beads apart and selling them in pieces, and the history displayed by your original necklace gives it extra value, so it is normal for the price to double at the auction."

After Liang En stuffed the cash into his pocket, he then asked about the details of the auction. "You just said that you successfully sold the four items you brought at the auction. Does this mean that you have entered their circle?"

"It's not that easy. Now I just put a little toe into the circle." At this point, Pierce suddenly became excited.

"But even a little toe is a huge opportunity for us. For example, this time I-"

Sure enough, different information will circulate in different circles. For Pierce, the auction did more than just make a fortune. The biggest reward is that I have received many opportunities that I have never had before.

For example, this time, he learned that a Russian tycoon wanted to sell a mansion in Carlisle due to difficulty in cash flow, so he needed some more professional people to clean it up.

"What kind of treatment does the other party receive?" Liang En asked in a somewhat serious tone, because those rich and powerful people not only have many rules and regulations, but may not be generous in giving money, so it is better to ask clearly about this kind of thing.

"Because I am connected through the old housekeeper at the auction, we can get 600 pounds a day without a middleman making a difference in the price, and at the same time, everything we clear out belongs to us."

"Does it all belong to us?" As soon as Pierce finished speaking, Liang En looked surprised.

Because under normal circumstances, when completing the cleanup work, they need to hand over those high-value items and items related to the employer to the person in charge, and they cannot take them away unless they get permission.

But even so, the things taken away can often make them a lot of money for the cleaners, and this is what attracts everyone the most.

Because of this rule, after hearing from Pierce that the other party had no requirements in this regard this time, he was naturally a little shocked by this unusual situation.

"Don't worry, there's no problem with safety." Looking at the change in Liang En's face, Pierce assured him by patting his chest.

"At least this channel can be said to be very reliable. As for why this situation occurred, the other party did not elaborate. Of course, I can't ask in this regard."

"In other words, the room may be mainly filled with garbage this time." Liang En raised his eyebrows. "Otherwise the other party wouldn't simply let us take everything away."

"You are right, but the problem is that the money they gave is too much." Pierce shook his head.

"Not to mention that the 1,800 pounds that the other party gave us for three days this time is considered a high salary. We can make a lot of money just from the things that rich people don't want."

Early the next morning, Liang En drove his minivan behind Pierce's medium-sized truck and drove towards Carlisle, located in the far north of England.

Just like Pierce said. Although the work this time was more difficult, the money given by the other party was enough for Liang En, who had nothing urgent to do now, to make a trip.

The distance from London to Carlisle is more than 400 kilometers, which is equivalent to spanning the entire England.

Fortunately, the road between the two places was a highway with very good conditions, so they finally arrived there at 4pm after setting off at 8am.

After finding a safe small hotel to stay for one night, the two of them went directly to the Russian tycoon's estate the next day.

Located on the outskirts of Carlisle, the house is a medium-sized Victorian manor house. Just from the large yard covering an area of ​​at least one hectare, you can see how luxurious this manor is.

After entering the main building with beige walls and a black roof, Liang En and the others entered the living room with a dozen other people and listened to a middleman who looked more like a gangster than a housekeeper. Young people assign tasks.

Maybe it's because I'm a newcomer. Therefore, one of Liang En and Pierce was assigned to the servant kitchen, and the other was assigned to three servant rooms.

"Bullying the newcomers -" Liang En, who had received the task, muttered dissatisfiedly, while Pierce's face didn't look good next to him.

As we all know, when cleaning up in this kind of place, the easiest place to find big harvests is in the various rooms and warehouses that originally belonged to the master. As for the rooms related to servants, we can only hope that the number of things found is enough to be able to make small profits but quick turnover. .

But after complaining, those things that deserve to be done still have to be done. After all, the other party paid half of the salary as soon as the person arrived, so Liang En would still insist on it for the sake of 1,800 pounds.

After coming down the stairs from the second floor, Liang En and Pierce said goodbye to each other at the top of the stairs, and then went straight to their assigned rooms to start working.
