Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 243
In the communication with Pierce just now, Liang En learned that the participants in this place come from various places in Europe.So naturally, I will take this opportunity of communication to advertise myself or the store.

Also because of this reason, it is not so easy to get a berth here, you need to apply and review in advance.

To give the simplest example, although the emerald thrift store has been allowed to participate in this exchange meeting, it has been refused to set up a berth in this place because of its small scale and low overall level.

Although Liang En joined the Emerald Thrift Store this year, and he entrusted several more valuable products to the store for sale, the store has greatly increased its points.

But because this is only the first year, the organizer rejected the application for setting up a store in the Emerald Store this year due to the lack of time for inspection.

Fortunately, the other party also made it clear that if the momentum of this year can be maintained, then they will definitely have a place in the negotiations on the sale of goods at this time next year.

Maybe the people in this place come from all over the UK, even continental Europe.Therefore, the items for sale can be said to be dazzling and varied.This also makes the entire hall look like a small museum.

For example, from these booths, Liang En saw all kinds of things from ancient Egypt and ancient Rome to modern times. Most of these things are some valuable items, but the value is not very high. But there are also various boutiques.

It seems that there is a beautiful pansy crown made of gold, silver and diamonds at a booth.It seems to have a lightness and ease that does not match the precious metal above.

After inquiring, he learned that this crown was made by the Frasson brothers, the second-generation heads of the top luxury brand Chaumet in Paris. It was a naturalistic style crown made by them in 1850, during the Second French Empire.

And this crown composed of flowers, fruits, leaves, birds, wheat ears and intertwined bows was also the most popular jewelry of many European nobles and American upstarts in that era.

As the top jewelry popular in those days, this tiara looks really beautiful.It's a pity that judging from the seller's eloquent explanation, the other party knows the details of this item, so it's basically useless to try to miss it.

And it turned out to be true. When asking for the price at the end, the other party set a sky-high price of 35 euros for this crown. This price is fine if you want to keep it for yourself, but you can't make much money if you want to sell it.

As mentioned in the previous invitation, this exchange meeting is full of professionals, especially this group of sellers is the elite among professionals, so it is not an easy task to pick up leaks from them. .

And the same is true for the next few stalls. The stall owners have thoroughly figured out what Liang En is looking for, so the prices offered are basically unattractive.

However, this does not mean that the turnover of these stalls is not high. After all, everyone is a professional, so there are still many people with their own channels who are willing to buy what they need here.

For example, if you are a businessman who sells furniture from the French Empire period, then if you buy a certain piece of furniture at a low price in this place and make up a set with the furniture in your own hands, then it is absolutely fine to make a small profit.

It's just that these things were not what Liang En needed, so he quickly focused his attention on the other stalls selling various materials.

The owners of these stalls are often experienced individual antique dealers, and they are basically in a state of semi-retirement or have already retired, and no longer directly engage in antique transactions.

For them who can no longer run, using their own experience to collect various materials and sell them to their colleagues can be said to be one of the few pleasures they have after retirement.

For example, the small booth in front of Liang En is like this. Not only are there piles of materials on the table, but even a lot of notebooks and folders are piled up under the table.

"Young man, these are all kinds of materials related to treasures that I have collected in the past few years. All of the records are things that can be confirmed to exist, but are now missing."

After watching Liang En and Joan of Arc stop in front of his booth, the old man with a Mediterranean haircut and a monocle looked up at them and said.

"Can I have a look?" Liang En asked.

"Of course." The old man nodded, "But you can only read it in this place, and you can only randomly select two pages from each notebook and file folder."

"Okay. Liang En nodded. After all, the things sold in this shop are some important information, so it's very normal not to let them read them.

"By the way, how do you sell this thing?" Liang En asked when he reached out to a folder. "I see that you have such a good classification of these things——"

"It's divided by color. Folders or notebooks with white covers are 50 Euros, blue ones are 100 Euros, and red ones are 300 Euros." The old man said, pointing to the information he had collected.

"Let me have a look." Liang En said as he opened a white notebook and read it. Judging from the first two pages, it contained some information about a shipwreck during the American Civil War.

Although most of the things above are copies, many of them are first-hand information in the past, such as the starting point, ending point and contents of the ship's cargo.

After taking out another book and selecting a few pages at the back to open it, he found that there was actually a map in it, which showed the route of the last trip of the Caribbean trade ship recorded in this book.

"Give me this one first." In order to determine the gold content of these things, Liang En first chose a white cover folder that recorded the missing information of a ship off the coast of Ireland.

After Liang En finished swiping the cards on the POS machines of these booths uniformly given by the organizer on the stage, he immediately opened the folder and looked at it.

As Liang En had guessed before, all these things contained information about the ship.In addition to the records of the port of that year and the records of items left by the owner of the cargo on board, there is also a ship structure diagram and route map on it.

What's more interesting is that this route map also marked other ships around the route, ocean currents, dangerous areas around the entire route and the weather at that time.

There are even some handwritten personal analyzes next to these materials, indicating the most dangerous sea areas where this ship is most likely to appear.And that's where the ship might be pulled from the bottom of the ocean.

"I did these analyzes with a few old friends, and the accuracy should be good." The old man took off the monocle from his eye socket and wiped it. "But the actual value is not as high as you think."

"Even if the places where the ship may encounter are drawn, the area of ​​the suspicious sea area drawn is still too large. Unless you are very lucky, the cost of searching the entire area will far exceed the cost of salvage. get."
