Chapter 347 old money
Xia Yuxin said that's it. Did the poor and poor nobles go to the daughter of a rich nouveau riche? The nobles get money and the nouveau riche get titles. Are the so-called classes complementary? This kind of plot is very common in movies. I didn't expect to meet a real person today.
"Tell me about this Baron Forrest."
The young man was worried, "We really can't disclose customer information casually."
Xia Yu handed over a hundred dollars expressionlessly. The guy observed around and quickly took the money into his hands.
"This Baron Forrest is just a little noble in England, but he is still very good at running to the United States. Even in the 21st century, those people agree with the status of aristocrats."
"That group of people?"
"Old touch ney."
Xia Yu nodded to express his understanding.
"This Baron Forest went to the Midwest to invest with the legacy from his class, which was a waste of luck. He dug up a gold mine and two oil fields. He seemed to know what was buried underground. He bought land accurately. In the 1960s and 1970s, he could be said to be a sensational figure.
Later, with the rise of the Internet era, their physical industries gradually faded away, but they were rich and rich. It is said that their assets were within the top 100 in the United States. However, they were very low-key and did not reveal their wealth on weekdays. In addition to operating some fund industries, they mainly engaged in collections.
Baron Forrest is very interested in antiques and ancient books. He is a regular visitor to Newman Auction. His daughter is often assigned to invest by him." The young man said, looking envious.
"Haha, so that's it. Thank you, man." Xia Yu said as he handed over another hundred dollars.
The young man took the money and smiled flatteringly, "You are such a generous brother. Don't look at the fact that those old money is richer than the other, they are very stingy in their actions. They don't even want to give more tips. For the sake of "Franklin", if you are trying to make a move, I think you should save money."
Xia Yu was a little funny, "What do you say? That woman is a slap?"
"She is very dangerous. I have heard some rumors. A man went to her castle with her, but it never appeared again..."
In the afternoon, Xia Yu came to the auction house. He came to handle the handover procedures. As the owner of the lot, he had to sign an agreement at the end of the official transaction.
Waiting with him was an old lady who looked like she was in her eighties and nineties. Her skin was wrinkled and her eyes were dull and she looked a little cunning.
Xia Yu found a seat and sat down. After a while, Catherine walked in under the escort of two bodyguards.
She came to the old woman first.
"Is it Ms. Virginia? I am Catherine, and I am honored to take over this precious collection from you."
The old woman had a expressionless face and ended up with an agreement from the auction house staff. She signed her name sloppyly, handed an antique box to the staff, and then left without hesitation.
When the auction house clerk handed the box to Catherine, the blonde took a step back as if the box was filled with a time bomb, and she signaled a bodyguard to meet the box.
Then she walked towards Xia Yu again.
Xia Yu's eyes wandered around Catherine and the box, and finally fell on Catherine.
I have to say that this girl is indeed beautiful, especially the temperament left by her delicate life, which looks like an exquisite oil painting.
"Hello, is it Mr. Xia? I didn't expect that this gem really comes from the Far East. I thought it was another gimmick made by the auction house. So Mr. Xia, did you really find this gem from an ancient altar?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly. This story about the origin of the gem is also a contribution to his portability. Strictly speaking, it is not a lie. This thing is indeed related to an ancient god.
"That's right, it's true." Xia Yu handed over the box containing the gems.
The woman carefully placed the gem in front of her eyes, looked at the shaking red liquid inside, and was in a daze.
"Can you ask Mr. Xia how he found this gem?"
"Haha, I just picked it up by accident."
The woman nodded without comment: "Then you are so lucky."
"Who said no?" Xia Yu shrugged, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the antique box.
This thing is so close to him that he really can't help but want to do it directly.
The woman also noticed a hint of clue, "When I talk about it, I can't help but notice that you are also very interested in this book?"
Xia Yu did not hide it either: "Yes, I am a loyal fan of Lovecraft and I am very interested in his works. He is a very imaginative writer."
Catherine suddenly snorted coldly, "I don't think he has any imagination, it's better to say that he is more sensitive and more suitable."
Xia Yu looked at her strangely, and Catherine said quietly: "In Lovecraft's works, such a theory has been proposed. Those sensitive artists, poets, singers, and painters can contact or sense many unknown things through dreams and illusions, those ancient existences, those ancient monsters, and those indescribable evil things. Because of this, they can create unimaginable works of art. Some can bring terrifying nightmare, while others are as strange as they do not belong to this world.
So when I read his book, I sometimes think that maybe Lovecraft is one of these people. He saw certain clips in dreams or illusions and recorded them, so he could write these jaw-dropping works.
Xia Yu was slightly stunned, then laughed, "The interesting theory sounds very reasonable."
Catherine put the gem back into the box, and the staff took out the agreement and handed it to the two of them.
The two signed the agreement, and even if the transaction was officially completed, Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction at the string of numbers added in the account.
"Goodbye, beautiful lady, oh by the way, I don't know if I'm lucky enough to visit you in the future. I'm very interested in your theory."
This question was obviously a bit abrupt. Catherine was a little surprised, but nodded: "Ofrist Castle is welcome at any time."
And the castle? This Baron Forrest is really pretending to be in place. As he watched Catherine leave, Xia Yu couldn't help but become interested.
When she returned to the hotel room, Katrana had already rented the car Xia Yu wanted. Not only that, she also specially prepared a suit for the upcoming action.
"When will we do it?"
