Chapter 441

At the end of the auction, to William's surprise, the Chinese guests stayed, and the others left after politeness with him and Wilson.

But that's good. It's hard to say when there are too many people.

After sitting on the VIP stage chatting and waiting for a few minutes, the auctioneer came up to William with three animal heads and eight Jun jade. "Mr. Devonshire, do you need to confirm the authenticity of these antiques again?"

This kind of polite words, of course, William knows that if things are exchanged or fake, they will not have to open an auction house in the future. Saying that these are nothing but a disguised reminder that William should pay.

"Just a moment." after that, William hooked his finger to Lawrence, who was more than ten meters away, and the fat Lawrence came quickly, "what do you want? Mr. Devonshire.

"I'll sell you a piece of news worth 20 million pounds," William said with a narrow smile.

"News?" Lawrence was surprised for a few seconds, and his face returned to normal. He did not ask for any news worth 20 million pounds. Instead, he immediately went back, "please tell me.".

"Ha ha." seeing the fat man's eyes, William laughed, took Lawrence to one side and whispered, "I know you've been looking for a picture of Da Vinci's rose.".

"Yes, yes, yes, sir," Lawrence was frightened again, and his forehead began to sweat.

There were no more than three people he knew about his search for Leonardo da Vinci's rose, and Lawrence was sure that the other two would never dare, let alone tell.

"Don't worry, I don't care what you do," William patted Lawrence on the shoulder. "That painting is in Russell castle in France. I don't want it. I only want the mouse head and rabbit head and the desert star sapphire in count Russell's hand. Is there a problem?"

Lawrence didn't think for a few seconds and nodded, "no, sir, as long as everything is there, I promise I'll take what you said with you.".

"Good, then we should talk about the 20 million pounds you owe me," William said with a smile.

"This, this," 20 million pounds to Lawrence some heartache, but he did not dare to go back, "do you think I can use antiques instead?"

"Of course, but only if the antiques are not black goods." after stopping for a moment, William stares at Lawrence meaningfully and says, "or you can offset them with other animal heads.".

"The dragon head is in your hand. According to the normal price, I'll calculate you 5 million pounds, the horse head 3 million pounds, and the others 1 million pounds each. Is there a problem?"

"All right, sir," Lawrence said quietly, "the dragon head will be delivered to your manor early tomorrow morning. With the 6 million pounds of cattle, monkeys and tigers sold at auction today, I still owe you 9 million pounds. I'll pay you back with the animal head.".

"That's right, more refund and less compensation." William patted Lawrence on the shoulder again with a smile. "Then you are responsible for the next communication with the auction house. I'll wait for your good news.".

"Yes, sir," Lawrence said sorry to William. He turned to the head of the auction house and whispered. Soon the manager of the auction house stared at him in surprise. Then they said something. The head of the auction house nodded and walked to William and said, "Mr. Devonshire's payment has been settled. Thank you for coming. We'll be the auction house in the future We will send out invitation letters for you regularly. If you are interested, you can come and have a look.

After that, the manager asked his subordinates to hand over the three animal heads to Antonov, and then sent them to William with the tray of bajunyu in hand,

"do you need us to provide the manual of the set of jade? According to the people of the Chinese dynasty, it's a serious and time-consuming work to make a jade dish. If it's not done well, it will cost a lot of money.

"No," said William, holding the bajunyu directly on the tray, looking at it carefully and holding it in the palm of his hand. "There is an expert in this field in my family, so goodbye.".

"OK, thank you again for coming. I'll see you out." the manager personally led William and his party out of the auction house.

An auction house, waiting for the reporters outside to see William appear, immediately noisy, shouting his name and questions.

"How can there be so many reporters?" Wilson, standing next to William, silently counted. He found that there were at least 100 reporters blocked outside the wall by the security guards of the auction house. He worried and said, "how can we go?".

"Don't worry, let's go back from the sky." then the sound of propellers sounded in the sky. Twenty seconds later, two bell 407 helicopters landed on the vacant lot of the auction house.

Let Wilson go first, and William will take Shen Cheng, Antonov and valingen back to the manor by helicopter, leaving Yakov and Ivan, who are like bears, to drive back.

Back at the manor, Antonov and Valentin leave the animal head on the table in the reception room and leave.

"What to drink?" William goes to the wine cabinet and asks Shen Cheng.

"Whatever you drink, I'll drink," said old Shen, sitting on the sofa indifferent, looking at William pouring wine. He couldn't help complaining, "you let the fat man make the temporary change in the auction scheme of the three animal heads today.".

"Hey, hey," William did not admit or deny. He took two cups and half a bottle of McCarran's 15 year old wine on the tea table, opened the wine stopper, poured two cups and handed Shen Cheng a cup. "I'm helping you. As long as you buy these three animal heads today, the price of the remaining animal heads will rise several times or even more than ten times in a few years."."Yes, but I don't think it will take a few years. You can buy it today at twice the market price, and you can't win the remaining beast head after tomorrow with less than 2 million pounds." Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment and asked directly, "can you tell me why?"

"What?" William, who was drinking, raised his head in doubt, "what, why?"

When Shen Cheng finished what he had just said, he kept staring at William. Seeing that William really didn't understand what he meant, he said, "Why are you so rich? You have so many antiques that you can't even fit in the bank's underground vault. You don't know how to use more than 10 billion US dollars in the bank.

in order to get a few copper heads, you don't hesitate to play a trick that can't go on the stage. Is that all right It is the nature of capitalists to ignore the basic morality for the sake of interests. ".

"Well," said William. Yes, why?

There are so many Chinese antiques in our hands that we can only remember a number. Why do we have to spend time and energy to find a set of antiques that are not the top class.

After thinking for a long time, William replied, "maybe I really have too much money to spend, and the reputation of the animal heads of the zodiac is too big, so I have the idea of owning them.".

You can't make true friends by playing tricks.

"Anyway, I don't want to do business in China," he said in a positive tone after thinking for a few minutes. "You're right. I'm William Devonshire. I'll buy the bronze head if I like. There's no need to cover it up. If I want jadeite and suede jade, why do I have to find you if I'm willing to spend money?".
