Rebirth started from selling lunch boxes and reached the pinnacle of life

Chapter 159: The basement of the old castle, determined to win



Under the utility room, there is an underground world.

And the space is not small, it is as big as two bedrooms.

There were layers of large boxes stacked inside, and there were dozens of boxes by visual inspection.

Liu Yihang randomly looked at a box containing several vases. The pattern and color of the vases were of the Chinese style.

He glanced briefly at the other boxes. Most of them contained Chinese cultural relics, books, a few boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and even one or two boxes of firearms.

Although Liu Yihang was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face and looked calm.

Time was tight, and Jerry was staring at it again. He could only take a brief glance at it first.

It is basically certain that this basement was used by the original owner of the house to store personal belongings.

As for why he was not discovered and taken away by his descendants, this was not something he could understand.

Seeing that he kept looking towards the utility room, Jerry came over and said, "There's nothing interesting to see here. Let's go to the front for a walk."

"Jerry, who was the first owner of this castle?"

Liu Yihang was interested in learning more about the castle.

"The earliest owner? Not sure. All I know is that it was awarded to a Royal Air Force officer, His Excellency Caswall.

He was educated at the Royal Military College and Staff College at Woolwich. In the Battle of Britain in World War II, he commanded the Royal Air Force against the Nazi Air Force and destroyed Hiller's invasion of the Sea Lion Plan. He was awarded the title of baron.

In the UK, a large family like this could accumulate power and money to a certain extent and be able to run rampant for centuries. Unfortunately, he died very suddenly, and his descendants did not inherit his fighting genes, and they quickly declined.

This huge old castle is now empty. After tomorrow's auction, it will change hands. "Jerry sighed.

"Change of ownership? Will this castle also be auctioned?" Liu Yihang's heart moved.

Just taking a quick look, most of these dozens of boxes contained cultural relics from China. No matter what, he had to find a way to bring them back.

But now there are several problems facing us.

It was difficult for him to even enter the utility room in public, let alone find the entrance to the basement.

To put it bluntly, even if he went in, the micro-space would only be a few square meters, and it would be impossible to take all these boxes away.

Once the castle changes owners tomorrow, it will be impossible to come in and visit again.

Seeing the cultural relics of China right in front of him and at his fingertips, how could he just watch them.

Jerry's words calmed his anxious heart.

"Yes, this castle will be auctioned tomorrow, and there will be many items from your country..." Jerry said this, as if he realized that what he said was a bit embarrassing, he stopped again.

These things were originally treasures of the Chinese nation, brought to this land by their ancestors in an unfriendly way of invasion.

Liu Yihang felt confident, and he decided that no matter what, he must take pictures of this castle. The only problem now was the problem of funds.

He still has some savings, but he can't get them now. They are all in China, and he doesn't know if the more than 2000 million will be enough to buy this castle.

We can only think about everything in the long term. We should go back and discuss with Miao Cuihua first. If that doesn't work, we can borrow some money from her first.

It's almost noon.

Liu Yihang had no intention of continuing to visit. After the two left the castle, Liu Yihang was not in the mood to visit the Tower of London, which was just around the corner.

Jerry took him to have lunch first, and the two returned to the hotel. Liu Yihang learned about it and found out that this castle was indeed on the auction list tomorrow.

Its starting price has been set at £20.

This price is not particularly expensive, but it is not cheap either, equivalent to more than 140 million yuan.

Jerry said that there are many ancient castles like this in London, and the auction value does not lie in the castle itself, but in the premium based on the circumstances of its original owner and the story behind it.

To put it bluntly, these castles are just a bunch of buildings in disrepair.

Like this castle, because its original owner has declined, the auction price will be relatively low. Without any surprises, the estimated highest transaction price is around 50 pounds, which is more than 360 million yuan.

Liu Yihang felt confident.

He asked Jerry again about funding.

Jerry learned that he wanted to buy the old castle. Although he was confused, he still enthusiastically helped with ideas.

For large customers, the auction house is still very tolerant. Liu Yihang can apply to the auction house to suspend payment until the imperial green is auctioned, and then settle the account.

Jerry took Liu Yihang to the auction company that afternoon and told the person in charge about it.

When the person in charge heard that he was the owner of the imperial green lot, he agreed to Liu Yihang's application without saying a word.

After all, that piece of imperial green is worth two to three hundred million pounds. With a small bill of several hundred thousand pounds, they are not afraid of Liu Yihang's default.

Anyway, the Imperial Green is still in their vault now.

Liu Yihang felt relaxed all over after solving a problem on his mind.

When Miao Cuihua came back in the afternoon, after dinner, Jerry took them to a nearby bar to drink and listen to music.

London is really not a safe place.

A drunkard harassed Miao Cuihua. He may think that Chinese women are easy to bully.

Jerry was about to teach him a lesson, but Liu Yihang's fist had already sent the drunkard several meters away.

A few friends of the drunkard rushed over and there was a scuffle.

Liu Yihang, the translator, and other men always protected Miao Cuihua.

When the people around saw this chaotic fight, not only did they not find it scary, they even shouted that Chinese Kung Fu was very powerful and asked them to fight harder.

Liu Yihang also showed mercy and beat these drunkards until they couldn't get up.

It is worth mentioning that Jerry is also a good fighter, and he is very energetic when fighting. It seems that he often did this kind of thing in the past.

After the fight, the two smiled at each other and then left the bar.

After this incident, Miao Cuihua deeply felt the difference between China and Britain.

Chinese people are more simple. Although they cannot close their homes at night, they can always feel safe when going out.

London is a paradise during the day and hell at night, especially for women.

-

Jerry came over early in the morning to pick them up and take them to the auction site.

Liu Yihang and the others were all dressed up and looked like the elites of the upper class.

The auction was very eventful, and they arranged the best seats for them, prepared fruits and snacks, and had dedicated waiters to help hold the placards.

The auction was very interesting, allowing them to see a lot of strange things and indirectly learn a lot about the local culture.

For example, they also saw the bone china cup they picked up in the old castle before among the auction items.

According to the auctioneer's introduction, this is a set of bone china tableware, which was a set of tableware given to the viscount by the king many years ago.

The only drawback is that the whole set of tableware is there, but a coffee cup is missing.

So its value is greatly reduced.

Liu Yihang and Jerry looked at each other and smiled.

Finally, Jerry borrowed Liu Yihang's identity to take a photo of this imperfect set of tableware.

He plans to assemble a complete set and find a suitable buyer when the time comes. This will make a lot more money than selling a single cup.

Liu Yihang sighed, Jerry is really a natural businessman.

The first ones were all insignificant things, and Liu Yihang was not very interested. Then, the auction officially entered the climax.

Cultural relics from China arrived.

Liu Yihang saw that there were many people from China in the venue. They must have come here for these cultural relics.
