"I also have an idea, that is, to build a small manor, in the future, I can get my own underground gold storage to store items, and we will definitely continue to explore in the future, and we need to prepare equipment."

Jiang Hao pointed to his teacher's dormitory, "After all, I'm too small here, and some things can't be placed at all." ”

Laura felt that Jiang Hao was right.

At this time, Jiang Hao continued: "We are partners, and the treasures obtained from the expedition should be half of yours, and if we want to auction them, we also need to ask for your opinion." ”

Regarding the matter of the relic, Jiang Hao is ready to hide it, the system has already identified it as a task item, if he takes it out and gives it to others, I don't know if the system will judge that he has not completed the task.

Jiang Hao doesn't plan to experiment,

And I also told Laura before that if he has a good thing, he will choose it first, and the relic will be regarded as the completion of the previous agreement.

Laura immediately shook her hand when she heard this, and said in a resolute tone: "Jon, I said before that I just want to find my father, and now that I have found my father's bones and fulfilled his last wish, I am already very satisfied, so I will never ask for these things." ”

"Let's go out for a drink and talk slowly." Jiang Hao didn't rush to speak, but took Laura back to the living room, and the two sat at the dining table.

"Laura, actually, I'm going to take half of you because I want to take advantage of you." Jiang Hao said.

Laura looked at Jiang Hao a little dumbfounded, "Use me?" ”

"Yes, this batch of treasures is very sensitive, if it appears, the Japanese government will definitely protest, I don't know if those auction companies can withstand the pressure, so I want to use your identity to resist the pressure from the outside world." Jiang Hao said.

Laura blinked, looking at Jiang Hao with a pair of light blue eyes, and then said, "Jon, are you just going to use me directly?" ”

Jiang Hao spread his hands, "You are so smart, you must be able to think of this, so it is better to take the initiative to say it, of course, you can refuse to use your identity, these treasures still have half of yours." ”

Laura was not angry, but happy, because Jiang Hao was very sincere to her, Laura looked at Jiang Hao and showed a sly smile, "Jon, have you heard of "Charlotte Auction House"? ”

"The top 10 auction houses in the UK?"

Jiang Hao looked at Laura's expression and had some guesses in his heart, "You don't want to say that your family has shares in that auction house."

Laura didn't let Jiang Hao wait for a long time, and immediately gave an answer, "Yes, in fact, Charlotte Auction House is a wholly-owned company of the Crawford family, Charlotte Auction House was founded in 1881, the name comes from my father's grandmother, she is a side branch of the royal family, and my father's grandfather is very in love, and she used her name after the establishment of the auction company." ”

"Because of this, one of the companies is still wholly owned by the Crawford family, and most of the antiques and treasures that my father found on his previous expeditions were sold through this auction house, except for some of the extremely valuable ones left as family treasures."

"The treasures you are going to auction can be put in Charlotte Auction House, there is absolutely no need to worry, even if someone protests."

Jiang Hao smiled and clapped his hands, "I knew it would be right to look for you, Countess Crawford, so it was decided." ”

Speaking of this, Laura looked at Jiang Hao's eyes and said in a solemn tone: "Jon, I was able to find my father this time, and I was able to come back alive because of your help, I said before that I would not ask for the treasures obtained from this expedition, and I was able to retrieve my father's bones, which was already the biggest gain this time." ”

But then Laura smiled, "Forget it this time, we had an agreement before, but next expedition, I will definitely take half of it." ”

"OK, that's it." Jiang Hao said.

This girl is very rich, and now she really doesn't care about this, so Jiang Hao won't be polite to her.

"By the way, you want to buy a manor, what do you need, I got three manors, in addition to the place where I live now, there are two more, both in Surrey, if you want..."

Without waiting for Laura to finish speaking, Jiang Hao hurriedly waved his hand, "Those estates of your family are too big, not to mention whether I can afford them, even if I can afford them, the annual maintenance cost is estimated to be millions of pounds, and besides, I don't need such a big castle manor alone." ”

"I just want a small manor, with a three-story villa, preferably with a basement, and it would be better if there were a few more acres of land outside, so that it would be more warm and comfortable to live in." Jiang Hao said.

"So, do you need my help?" Laura asked.

"Jiang Hao smiled, of course it's good, I'm worried about running out of time now, but won't it be troublesome?" Jiang Hao said.

"Don't bother, I can leave it to Horry." Laura sold her housekeeper directly.

British butlers don't just take care of food and clothing, they need to know a lot, in addition to taking care of daily life, they also have to take care of many aspects, managing servants, entertaining guests, taking care of travel and booking hotels, and even helping the host manage finances and take care of the company's business.

"What have you been studying lately?" Jiang Hao asked.

Laura immediately became interested and said: "I found a professional team to conduct archery and shooting training, learn driving, horseback riding, and fighting skills, and then I am also going to conduct special forces field combat skills training to strengthen my ability." ”

"By the way, Jon, it seems that you know all this, tell me about the precautions, and whether my training is reasonable, and whether it can be useful for the expedition?"

"No problem, like shooting ......"

The two had a lot of common language, and they chatted until more than 10 o'clock, Jiang Hao saw that it was already very late, and said, "Laura, it's not early." ”

"Ah, yes, it's past 10 o'clock." Laura looked at the clock on the wall, turned her head and smiled at Jiang Hao, but her heart sped up a little, with a little anticipation and a little apprehension.

"Then I'll send you back." Jiang Hao said.

Ga! Jiang Hao came to a sudden brake, and Laura's heart actually rose a little angry.

"Okay, it's time to go back."

The car returned to Crawford Manor, stopped at the gate, Laura got out of the car, Jiang Hao waved his hand and drove away, Laura watched Jiang Hao's car disappear, and then turned around and walked into the hall.

As soon as Laura walked into the hall, Horry appeared and said with a smile, "You came back much earlier than I expected." ”

Laura glanced at the housekeeper, "Is there anything to eat, I'm a little hungry." ”

"Snacks and milk."

"Yes."

Horry brought snacks and hot milk, Laura ate slowly, and Horry said, "Didn't you have a good conversation?" It's boring to be with him? ”

Laura immediately shook her head, "No, Jon is a very funny person, he is also very knowledgeable, and the two of us have a common hobby, and we have a very pleasant conversation. ”

"Isn't he interested in you?"

Laura immediately said: "No, he's just too gentleman, yes, although he is a little bad at times, but he is definitely a gentleman at heart." ”

Horry stole a glance at the corner of his mouth.

Gentleman?

I'm afraid that only a woman in love would believe that a man has the character of a gentleman, anyway, Horry doesn't believe it.

As a representative of the global gentleman, the British man, he didn't believe in that.

"Horry, help me find the information of the manor, if you want a small manor, three floors are fine, you must have a sunny bedroom, you must let the sun shine in, so that you can live comfortably, and you must have a spacious and solid basement, the main building should not be too old, it is best to move in as soon as possible, there must be a few acres of land outside that can be used to plant flowers and plants, by the way, it is best not to be too far away from Crawford Manor." Laura said as she ate a cookie.

Hori was a little confused, "We have three estates that we can't live in, and the other two are in a dusty state, so why should we look for a new house?" ”

"It's not me who lives, it's Jon." Laura said.

Horry blinked, "But I'm your butler." ”

Laura looked at Horry, "How do you know I'm not going to live there?" ”

Horry immediately shrugged, "Okay, I see, maybe I'll need to pick the right curtains for that house, like the kind of floral curtains you like." ”

Laura laughed, ate the last cookie and ran upstairs to rest.

Horry looked at the happy Laura, turned and walked to his room, and muttered, "I can see that she is happy now, and that is enough." ”

......

The next day,

Charlotte Auction House sent the most professional team to receive this batch of antiques, and Laura also came over and introduced the CEO of Charlotte Auction House to Jiang Hao.

Laura introduces the two parties, "Jon, this is Garrison, the CEO of the auction house, Garrison, this is my friend Jon. ”

Garrison and Jiang Hao shook hands warmly, "Mr. Jon, these antiques of yours are amazing, the gold seal of Queen Himiko, the gold hairpin on the headdress, the gold armor and bones of Susanoh, the bronze mirror of the same batch as the Japanese national treasure artifact "Yaga Mirror", and the out-of-print gold coin printed with the head of Queen Himiko. ”

"Now that Japan is in the midst of a frenzy of discovering and excavating the Yamatai Kingdom, and at the same time it has attracted the attention of the international community, and I believe that the appearance of these treasures will definitely attract the attention of countless people, and they should be able to sell for a good price."

Jiang Hao asked, "Mr. Garrison, how are you prepared to deal with the troubles that the Japanese government may cause?" ”

Garrison shrugged, "They can protest, but the property is personal, and our auction house is only responsible for the auction, as long as we determine that these things were not stolen from a sovereign nation." ”

"How do you know if it's not stolen?"

"We have the final say." Garrison replied with a smile.

"What if the other party needs you to reveal the information about the owner behind it?"

"Haha, that's impossible, this is the rule of the auction house, unless they say that the British Parliament changes the rules of the entire auction industry, no one has the right to stop it, but if you do that, it will affect the chain of interests of auction houses all over the world, so it is impossible for the British Parliament to change it at will." Garrison said confidently.

Professional things are handed over to professional people to do, and this is Laura's business, and it will definitely not pit Jiang Hao.

"OK, then trouble Mr. Garrison." Jiang Hao smiled and thanked.

A few days later, the Charlotte auction house in the United Kingdom announced that it was preparing to auction a batch of precious cultural relics of Queen Himiko of Japan, and then posted photos of these auction items on its website.

Emperor Ming of Wei of China conferred on Queen Beimihu the "Golden Seal of the King of Wei". ”

"Queen Himiko headdress and a set of golden hairpins."

"12 gold coins of Queen Himiko's head."

"Eight mirrors" in the same batch, Emperor Wei Ming rewarded Queen Beimihu with two bronze mirrors."

"Susa can be a set of gold armor."

Under each lot, there is a detailed introduction, the age, craftsmanship, provenance, historical value, etc., and even some myths and legends are marked, just to elevate the status of the lot.

For example, the item that introduces the "Queen Himiko" has a lot of introductions to the legendary queen, and even many myths have been brought out, introducing this Queen Himiko as the supreme god of Japan and extremely revered by the Japanese.

Then he put on the legend of the Devil's Sea, the queen's eternal power, and the recent discovery of Queen Himiko's palace in Japan.

And the set of "Susanohu Golden Armor" also introduces Susanohu in detail, letting people know that this is a very powerful god in Japan, the younger brother of Queen Himiko, who is revered as the god of war and the god of killing in Japan.

The most striking thing is that after this introduction, the auction house added a note: "If you auction Susanoo's golden armor, you can get Susanoo's bones." ”

The Japanese side soon got the news, and after the news was confirmed to be true, the Japanese people immediately went crazy, and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately issued a statement to raise the strongest protest against the British auction house's behavior of auctioning Japan's precious national treasure-level cultural relics.

"We lodge the strongest protest against the auction of our precious cultural relics by Charlotte Auction House in the United Kingdom, and we demand that Charlotte Auction House immediately return our cultural relics and apologize at the same time."

When Garrison heard the Japanese protest, he smiled, "Very good, I think we can save a lot of publicity costs, and I guess the whole world will know about it soon." ”

After this news spread in Japan, the Japanese people were angry, you know, Himiko is the original body of Amaterasu, Susaneng is the original body of the killing god, they represent the faith of the Japanese, how can their items be auctioned by foreigners.

What's even more unbearable for the Japanese is that the auction house actually used Susanoo's bones as a gimmick, which is simply the biggest insult to the gods and a great insult to the Japanese.

Japanese people poured into social networking sites to leave messages,

"This is our Japanese cultural relics, our national treasure, how can these robbers be allowed to auction it, return it, it must be returned."

"Shameless British, return the treasures of our gods."

"Go to the British Embassy to protest, the government wants to put pressure on the British government, if these cultural relics are real, they are all treasures of the gods, and they must not be lost."

"It's such a shame, Japanese, you have to get back what belongs to you."

Garrison only smiled when he saw it, if it weren't for the fact that the bones were not allowed to be auctioned, Susanoo's bones would never be used as a gift, and he would have sold him for a sky-high price.
