I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 186 Some things really can't be scribbled

Arthur took the check, looked at the numbers on it, and couldn't help but smile. Many thoughts arose in his mind, but he soon realized that whether it was the auction house or the 'collectors' who bought those antiques, for the current For him, it's all in the past tense, and it doesn't matter at all.

Especially the feeling of taking advantage of fellow countrymen seemed ridiculous. Rich people's overseas acquisition of treasures is at least an investment practice similar to real estate speculation and stock speculation. Whether it is a real estate consortium or a coal boss local tyrant group, since the rich just hide the "national treasure" they bought back in the backyard and wait for the opportunity to resell it, it is nothing at all. Necessary shout-outs for their money-buying and passionate games. . .

"Thank you, happy cooperation." Arthur smiled and shook hands with the person in charge of the auction house.

"Happy cooperation." The person in charge of the auction house also said with a smile. After shaking hands, he took out an invitation letter from his briefcase and handed it to Arthur with both hands, and continued: "This is from David Auction House." VIP membership card, whether you are auctioning or participating in auctions in the future, you can enjoy commission discounts.

As well as the collections you have sold in powerful auction houses around the world, especially the collections sold in our David Auction House, you can use our auction house as a mortgage loan. "

"Oh?" Arthur was a little surprised by the invitation letter. After opening it, he saw a card with a black background and a gold border. On it was the logo of David's Auction House, as well as the signature of the contemporary Sir David and a series of numbers. .

Arthur also knew about the David Auction House at the beginning. It is not only one of the world's famous art auction companies, but more importantly, its founder, Sir Percival David David, is a very awesome person. Forged an indissoluble bond with Chinese porcelain. From the first encounter with a porcelain vase to the purchase of Chinese porcelain at the expense of his fortune, he devoted his life to it.

Some people praised David as the greatest Chinese art appreciation collector in the 1920s, and he really deserves such praise. Most of the more than 1,000 pieces of Chinese porcelain in his collection are honorary items in the official kilns of the past dynasties and data-oriented standard wares with important inscriptions.

His collection basically follows the royal taste since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with exquisite quality, high taste and great academic value, which is unmatched by other collectors in the West. These fine ceramics from the Chinese Dynasty were hosted by the British Museum in 2007, and opened in 2009 for permanent display. That is what Arthur said before, no matter how much money you spend, no one will sell you a true national treasure.

It has to be said that the times make heroes, and the achievements of Sir David finally benefited from the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Countless treasures of the Qing Palace from the Forbidden City flowed out, which made him, and thus his achievements. An unprecedented art treasure.

Although a little sad,

But people spend money to buy it, even if they are depressed and angry, it is useless. Regarding the olive branch thrown by David's auction house, Arthur nodded and smiled: "Thank you, then I will accept it, and convey my thanks to Sir David."

"must..."

After a few more pleasantries, the person in charge of the auction house stood up and said goodbye. After watching the other party leave, Arthur picked up the phone and notified the financial director of the investment company to come to his office.

Within a few minutes, the other party knocked on the door and walked in. Arthur handed the check to the other party and ordered: "Donate this money to the Boleyn Family Foundation."

The treasurer took the check, glanced at it, nodded and said, "Understood, boss, I'll handle it right away."

"Well, let's go." Arthur nodded, watching the other party leave, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as a high-tax native British rich man, you don't need to learn other things first, but reasonable tax avoidance is a skill that must be mastered, anyway Donating to the Boleyn Family Foundation is also to use the money for the repair and daily use of Boleyn Castle, and the beneficiary is still himself. Instead, he can save a penny of personal income tax, so why not do it.

As the old saying goes, you can eat as much as you can, wear as much as you want, and you will be poor if you can't figure it out!

Picking up the phone, Arthur called the butler Paul. In addition to telling him the results of the auction, he was also informed that there was money in the foundation's account, and he could prepare the repair plan for the castle.

"... This is really good news. The old earl and I had a repair plan many years ago. Unfortunately, the funds have not been abundant, and it has been put on hold for a long time. Finally, we can start to implement the plan.

Lord, my idea is to reorganize and restore the abandoned rooms in the main building, the entertainment room, and the wine cellar are all renovated. . . "

Listening to the phone, the housekeeper Paul chattered excitedly and happily, and the smile on Arthur's face became very bright. Although Paul is only the housekeeper of their family, for Arthur, his sister and brother, Paul is even more important. The relatives and elders who watched them grow up step by step.

In fact, this is also normal. If there is no emotion, how can Paul stick to the Boleyn family, especially when his predecessor is still such a bastard.

To be honest, as the person who came to this world, he is the most familiar person and gets the most care from him. Arthur really attaches great importance to Paul, and regards Paul as his family and teacher by his side.

Perhaps this is the best interpretation of British aristocratic butlers—they are not descendants of nobles, but teachers of nobles.

"Hehe, Paul, the money has already been transferred into the foundation's account, how to use it is up to you, I believe you, just do as you want, I think you already have a comprehensive plan in your mind, Right?" Arthur listened patiently for a while, and finally said with a smile.

"Of course, Lord!" Paul said on the phone with an extremely confident and firm tone, and then continued with a slightly sad tone: "If your father can see all this, he will be very happy and proud of you , he has always been a proud man..."

"..." Arthur was silent, not knowing what to say, for the cheap old earl, after all, he had never even met him, "I think he will be happy for us in heaven, this can be regarded as completing his unfinished business Make your wish."

The atmosphere was a bit sad, so after talking for a few more words, he hung up the phone. Arthur shook his head and smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, took the phone, and called his cheap sister again, telling her about getting her Good news for Boleyn Manor characters.

Sure enough, Eddie was very happy about this good news. Although Arthur told her that it was not a key important role, it still made her very happy. After all, some of the performances she participated in now were basically side effects , not even a character with lines.

After that, Arthur called Emilia who was about to fly back to England at night in the United States, and also told her the good news, in exchange for happy laughter and wen.

In the following time, Arthur sat quietly in the office and began to concentrate on creating his wonderful "Fifty Shades of Gray", but Arthur overestimated his willpower after all, creating this kind of , if there is no one by his side, he will be suffocated.

Therefore, Arthur didn't hold on for long, and chose to return to the Four Seasons Hotel to continue creating. At the same time, he called Ji Li and told her that there was something important to communicate with.

Ji Li, who had just had her face done, had a SPA, and drank coffee with her friends to enjoy the leisure time, thought it was about the "surprise" that she was looking forward to, so she left her friend behind without hesitation and was sent by Arthur to pick her up with Bell, the bodyguard. pick up.

"Boom——"

"Crack——"

Wearing a bathrobe, Arthur opened the door with green eyes and looked at Ji Li who was standing at the door wearing sunglasses. The red and black combination S skirt was paired with black high-heeled shoes. The overall shape was simple and generous, revealing inadvertently Mature and sexy. The deep V version fully reveals her good figure, but adds a touch of modern temperament to the infinite sexuality.

"Phew—every time I see you, I feel a sense of suffocation!" Arthur took a deep breath, and while speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Li, who hadn't reacted yet, into the guest room with a suspicious expression.

"Shet!"

. . . . . .

Hearing some exasperated and coquettish reprimands from inside the closed door, the two bodyguards standing at the door couldn't help but look at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and showed meaningful smiles on their faces. I have to say that for the blessing of their new boss, they I can only envy, after all, that is the dream girl of half of the men in the UK, the ninth miracle!
