money trouble

Chapter 218 Sky-high Price Castle [2]

Both Rosalind and Kux were beating drums in their hearts. There was something wrong with this posture.They didn't doubt the strength of their BOSS, but they never thought that the BOSS could take out so much cash in one go, it was really scary!

With 2.5 million pounds in cash, it would be shocking if such a huge amount of wealth could be mobilized at any time without adequate preparation in advance.

There was an excited smile on Wu Qian's face, and his eyes were very bright. It was the kind of smile that suppressed excitement, which made him very excited.Wu Qian thought clearly that the members of the three major Italian families would not be fools, nor could they be entrusted by Sotheby's. In this way, there is only one possibility left, that there must be something extraordinary in Leeds Castle!
In the antique auctions of the Celestial Dynasty, there was a phenomenon that many people followed the trend of the auction, who followed the trend?Like the great collector Mr. Ma, as long as Mr. Ma appears in the auction house, there will be a large number of people competing with him for whatever he auctions.Why follow his trend, follow his vision, and follow unknown news!

Wu Qian's current situation is like this. He doesn't know what's in Leeds Castle, but he can be sure that there is definitely something that the Italians want very much, and he doesn't mind getting in the way.

The Agnelli family also has their own helplessness. They have considered directly negotiating with the British government, but there are two other big families who are obstructing it. Naturally, it is impossible to get what they want. If they can buy Leeds Castle privately, none of them are willing to put this matter on the table. Come on the table.

Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of some departments in the UK, and immediately began to send people to Leeds Castle to find out.

Because Leeds Castle will become private property again today, starting today, Leeds Castle will be closed and no longer accept tourists, but there are many people wandering around, which is actually more lively than the previous open days for tourists.

Wu Qian once again used the behavior of a large price increase to try to beat his opponent to win Leeds Castle in one go, but this time he failed, and it is impossible to succeed at all.

The people arranged by the three major families in the auction venue were always in contact with their boss. Of course they knew that this was not the price offered by their own boss, so they started bidding again.

"2.55 million pounds, 2.6 million pounds, 2.65 million pounds..." The auctioneer was excited, his arms were trembling, he couldn't control his facial nerves, and his saliva sprayed all over the auction stage, but no one would care about this Phenomena, everyone's nerves are trembling as the price increases step by step.

"3 million pounds!" It was not the auctioneer who shouted, but the telephone operator.

Clap clap clap, applause sounded in the auction house, broke through an integer level, and created a new high!
The auctioneer looked at the Italians with livid faces, and quickly pressed his palms to signal everyone not to make noise. He said, "3 million pounds, 3 million pounds for Leeds Castle, is there anyone who doesn't like round numbers, you can increase the price a bit. Maybe with an extra price, Leeds Castle will be yours..."

The auctioneer's words were really useful. A man in a bright gray suit put his mobile phone to his ear, stood up and said, "3.5 million pounds!"

After shouting out the price, the man in the gray suit couldn't calm down anymore, because the person on the other end of the phone was very emotional and gritted his teeth.At this price point, there are not many people who can remain indifferent.

The auctioneer was very excited, because he made history and set a record for Sotheby's auction and art sale!
"3.5 million pounds! Jijiji...Githers!" The auctioneer waved his arm, eager to throw out the small auction hammer, and his delicate suit was wrinkled.

Wu Qian's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling. The amount he could use was only 5.2 million pounds. This meeting was already approaching. This situation made him a little flustered, panicked without confidence, this feeling Has not been seen for a long time.

"Kux..." Wu Qian called out to Kux, then looked at the situation in the auction house on the screen, and said, "4 million...help me call 4 million pounds!"

"Boss... you, good..." Kux felt bitter in his mouth, it was inhumane, and the firmer the attitudes of the big Italian families, the more afraid he was that his boss would take pictures of Leeds Castle, because that There will be a lot of anger.

Rosalind was already a buddhist, she was sitting on the scene planning other things, making preparations for her boss to actually take pictures of Leeds Castle.

In the auction house, when the telephone operator shouted out 4 million pounds, the audience was in an uproar.

At this time, the teams of major media in London rushed to Sotheby's auction house. The security guards at the gate were too busy, and many media rushed into the auction house with their cameras on their shoulders.Of course they are not allowed to go in. Now the auction house is like a wooden barrel full of gunpowder, and it feels like it will explode at the slightest touch.

Not reconciled, the media set up cameras at the door, and the opposite wooden door was filled with camera lens.

"Boss, there are indeed unknown secrets here, but it's really irrational to compete like this. I sincerely suggest you give up!" Cooks said to Wu Qian very seriously after hanging up the phone.

Wu Qian stared at the computer screen for a moment, without turning his head, he said: "Cux, what do you think is worth the three major Italian families spending so much money to compete?"

Kux didn't expect Wu Qian to ask him a question. After thinking about it, he said, "Boss, I really don't know. Could it be that the treasures of Edward II and Henry VIII were buried in Leeds Castle?"

Since the time of Edward I in the 13th century, Leeds Castle has had an indissoluble bond with the royal family and has always been the most trusted refuge of the royal family.Coincidentally, most of those who took refuge in Leeds Castle were women in the royal family.

The first royal woman to take refuge in Leeds Castle was the wife of Edward II.Edward II was the sixth king of England's Plantagenet Dynasty. After Edward II was assassinated in the 14th century, the queen lived in Leeds Castle.

Henry VIII is the second king of the Tudor dynasty in British history. After Henry VIII divorced the first queen, he placed the queen in Leeds Castle.Since then, there have been four royal women living in Leeds Castle in history, and this is how the title of "Queen in the Castle" came from.

Cooks was just a joke, but Wu Qian took it seriously, not only Wu Qian took it seriously, but some scholars in some departments in the UK also had related doubts. Historians began to frantically search for documents to see if there were any omissions some important clues.

Experts from the British Museum have even set off to Leeds Castle to see if there is something serious missing in the castle. After all, the law says that if whoever owns the castle, everything in the castle belongs to the individual. If you find out at that time, you will have to spend money to buy it back, and the other party may not necessarily sell it!
