Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 149 Auction
The reason why Liang En came to Toronto this time was because he was invited by Mr. Bruce, the New York real estate tycoon who had previously commissioned Liang En to come to the United States to find his ancestor's lost gem brooch.
According to the previous emails Liang En received in Newfoundland, the other party invited him mainly because they hoped to have a reliable expert to help when participating in the yacht auction.
Because Liang En had already demonstrated his ability in the last commission, Mr. Bruce's reception work was very good this time. For example, the accommodation arranged for them was a five-star hotel.
For Liang En, who had only stayed in four-star hotels before, five-star hotels made him feel significantly better. At least the facilities in the shower room alone are worth the price.
However, Liang En did not enjoy the bathing facilities here. After hastily cleaning up the stains on his body, he returned to the living room and began to check the results of the enhancement just now.
The improvement in physical coordination is immediate. For example, Liang En can now easily stand on his head and maintain it for a long time.
In the past, even if his body had been strengthened and had enough strength, it wouldn't take long for him to lose his balance and fall to the ground after standing upside down.
In addition, some of the skills I had mastered before are now much smoother to use, instead of being a bit stiff after the first strengthening.
In addition to physical fine-tuning, Liang En discovered that a large amount of knowledge related to navigation and combat had appeared in his mind, which could be said to contain hundreds of years of Viking wisdom in these two areas.
"If I can find a boat and eight men, I can go out to sea and rob directly now." Liang En complained subconsciously after searching through the dense list of knowledge in his mind for the first time.
But after a brief sorting, he found that very little of the knowledge he had acquired was still useful today.
For example, most of the knowledge related to navigation is about how to determine one's position and find routes on the vast sea.
If we put it in the Viking Age, this would certainly be the most precious knowledge, because in Europe at that time, only the Vikings could rely on this knowledge to sail on the high seas, while others could only sail along the coastline.
But now, let alone convenient navigation methods such as GPS, even novices can use clocks, sextants and compasses to determine all the data needed for the ship's movement after training.
Similarly, no matter how sophisticated the Vikings used smoking and drying to preserve food, it was far inferior to the food stored in cold storage or cans on ships today.
So if this thing has any role in modern times, it may only be useful in how to live on a rocking ship and quickly climb rope masts.
The same is true for the inheritance of Viking Berserkers. After all, times have changed now. A gun is far more useful in combat than holding a shield in the left hand and an ax or spear in the right hand.
However, Liang En is very satisfied with these skills. After all, he has been interested in such things since he was a child, so even if they are not of much use, he still loves these skills from the bottom of his heart.
And for Liang En, who has some hamster addiction. In the past, just obtaining the body of a Viking warrior always made him feel that the reward was not yet complete, but now the newly obtained Berserker combat skills just complemented this aspect, making him feel a full sense of accomplishment.
In addition, he also got an unexpected surprise, which was to obtain a variety of herbs and special medicinal wine formulas used by the Vikings in navigation and battle. And these formulas can just be used by [Pharmacion Manufacturing (N)].
Among them, the most useful ones for Liang En are some methods of making yogurt, cheese and ale.
If these technologies are used on the farm, it may be possible to create some unique dairy products and wine through [Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (N)].
"It's a pity that there are so few relics of the level of Vinland Colony, but think about it. If relics of this level are everywhere, how can they highlight their preciousness."
While thinking, Liang En lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep. He slept very comfortably this night, compared to the simple and narrow hard bed and slightly cold cabin on the fishing boat. This environment in the hotel is really great.
As a result, when Liang En woke up early the next morning, he turned on his phone and was surprised to see that the time displayed on his phone had reached 9:30 in the morning.
Fortunately, hotels of this level have door-to-door meal delivery services, so Liang En quickly ordered a breakfast through the intercom to fill his stomach.
Because the agreed time was a week later, Liang En and the others also took this opportunity to visit Canada's largest city.
Of course, because this period of time was not long, their trip was limited to taking photos and checking in at a few important locations, while the rest of the time was mainly spent in the hotel handling their own affairs.
Among them, Fan Meng mainly sweated and maintained his condition in the hotel gym, while Liang En began to study the details about the yacht auction.
This yacht auction was organized by a Swedish rich man. After the rich man turned 60, he handed over his family's property to his son, and then started various adventures on his own.
It's a pity that this rich man is a typical person with a big food addiction. He spent a lot of money and energy for three years, but failed to find any valuable historical relics.
Fortunately, this uncle is rich enough, so he can buy some good things through various auctions to satisfy his hobby of pursuing ancient history.
The other party came to Toronto this time hoping to hold an auction here to exchange collections with the local wealthy people, and then go south to Massachusetts for an adventure.
Liang En once heard Pierce say that wealthy people would organize some small auctions in private, and there would often be some very valuable things circulated through such private auctions.
It's just that even antique dealers like Pierce's family, who have been engaged in this industry for more than a hundred years, can only provide some goods for this type of transaction, and are not qualified to participate in the auction.
This is why Liang En agreed to Bruce's invitation. Because he is in this industry now, he will naturally be interested in high-end auctions related to this industry.
Unexpectedly, on the third day after he checked into this hotel, he received a call from the shipping tycoon, and then received an invitation from a young man in a suit in the hotel's auditorium.
There are two types of invitations to the auction, one of which is sent to the guest by the shipping tycoon, and the other is sent to the friends or entourage brought by the guest.
Originally, according to Liang En's previous thoughts, he should have taken the invitation attached to Bruce's invitation to attend the auction.
After all, it’s good for an ordinary person to enter this kind of circle for the first time. It doesn’t matter what type of invitation you get. But Liang En didn't expect that the organizer of the auction would actually give him an invitation.
In addition to the invitation, the other party also sent a dozen membership cards to entertainment venues around the world. Maybe this is the way of communication among wealthy people.
