After lunch, Zhuang Rui, accompanied by Ezkenna, took the white lion for a walk around the castle.
Although he couldn't afford it, this castle really attracted Zhuang Rui. Standing next to the castle near the Thames River, he could see the swans perching on the lake from a distance. The various rare birds and ancient trees in the castle also attracted Zhuang Rui.
The castle adds a lot of romantic interest.
"White Lion, calm down, calm down..."
Standing next to the castle near the Thames River, the white lion who had been suppressed for a long time either in the hotel or in the cabin suddenly raised his head and roared. The low roar spread far away. Near the gate, there was also a burst of cheetah.
The low roar made the white lion a little restless.
"Zhuang, this Tibetan Mastiff of yours is very pure. I have been to China's Tibetan Mastiff before, but I have never seen such a good Tibetan Mastiff..."
Ezkenna also admired the white lion very much. He could see Zhuang Rui's attitude towards the white lion, but he didn't mean to buy it. Just like the black panther raised by Ezkenna, no one else would care about it.
He won't sell it for too much money.
"Of course, the white lion is the king of Tibetan mastiffs. Someone once offered me 40 million RMB, but I didn't even sell it..."
When it comes to the white lion, Zhuang Rui can't help but praise him as if he were his own child.
Ezkenna nodded and said: "You are right, I also like large dogs. Although you have a kind of dog in China that is more expensive than Tibetan Mastiff, but relatively speaking, I prefer Tibetan Mastiff..."
"Is there any dog more expensive than a Tibetan Mastiff?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment. In his impression, except for Tibetan mastiffs, which can only be sold for a thousand or eight million, the other ornamental dogs, the most expensive ones are only a few hundred thousand, but these words came from Ezkenna's mouth.
What he said should have some basis.
"Of course, you don't know?"
Ezkenna looked at Zhuang Rui in surprise and said: "Last year, there was a King Eagle Dog from China, known as the Great Emperor, which was sold for US$10 million. This is by far the highest price in the world.
The most expensive price among pet dogs..."
"Hawkeye?"
Not to mention, Zhuang Rui really didn't know about these things. He was just a clerk in a pawn shop more than a year ago, and he didn't know anything about these upper-class objects.
"Yes, it's the Bulldog. It's a pity that the dog was bought by a man in France. I got there late and only saw the photo..."
With a look of regret on his face, Ezkenna introduced Zhuang Rui to the origin of the Eagle Bulldog, and then Zhuang Rui suddenly realized.
It turns out that the Eagle Pekingese was the earliest version of the Pekingese. In 1995, a breeding dog named 'Dudu' owned by the famous Pekingese Pekingese master Zhang Zhizhou, had already shown the characteristics of the Eagle Pekingese and was recognized by everyone.
, this is also the earliest Eagle version of Jingba in Chinese history.
As the name suggests, the Pekingese is a Pekingese dog with a face that looks like an eagle.
At first glance, Yingba looks very majestic, with a kingly demeanor and a deterrent to evil. However, it is also very docile and easy to get along with people. It is a dog breed that can be controlled by men, women, old and young among all dog breeds.
Yingba can be said to be the rarest, most beautiful and most precious rare dog breed in the world. Currently there are only a few hundred, and there are even fewer high-quality ones. It is rarer than the giant panda, and there are still 2,000 giant pandas.
Because of this, some people call it the panda among dogs, and it is extremely popular in the international pet market.
"Haha, I really don't understand these things, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed..."
Zhuang Rui laughed at himself and shook his head. He asked a foreigner to explain the items made in China to him, which made Zhuang Rui feel quite shameless.
Seeing the two people returning to the gate of the castle, Zhuang Rui said: "Mr. Ezkenna, if possible, I would like to take a look at your collection now. If there are any items I like, I would like to wait for my lawyer tomorrow.
After we get here, we can start trading..."
"Of course, I will take you there now..."
The purpose of Ezkenna's banquet with Zhuang Rui was not just for the few Picasso works in Zhuang Rui's hands. He was now afraid that Zhuang Rui would not like his collection and the transaction would not proceed.
Now that Zhuang Rui brought it up himself, Ezkenna immediately asked the butler to get a bunch of keys and took Zhuang Rui into the castle.
Along the wooden stairs, Zhuang Rui followed Ezkenna and walked towards the second floor of the castle.
The walls on both sides of the stairs are decorated as splendidly as the banquet hall, but they are gorgeous and graceful without being vulgar. There are also many murals embedded in the glass. Although Zhuang Rui does not know how to paint, he can see those with his spiritual energy.
The murals contain a strong aura, and they are obviously authentic and valuable.
After going up to the second floor of the ancient castle, there is also a living room with a separate fireplace. The light shining from the sky makes the entire living room look very bright even if the lights are not turned on.
Ezkenna did not stop and led Zhuang Rui through a short corridor. He stopped in front of a door that was more than three meters high and felt oppressive when standing below.
Taking out the key and opening the solid wood door, Ezkenna pushed it open. Zhuang Rui, who was standing outside the door, suddenly felt that the temperature seemed to have increased a few degrees, and it felt a little dry, as if he had come from the forest to the desert.
.
"Dear Zhuang, I have been collecting some Chinese and European works of art since my ancestors. Now, they have all been presented in front of you..."
Ezkenna entered the room first and turned on the light. The originally dark room suddenly became brighter, and what he saw in front of him shocked Zhuang Rui.
"Wait a minute, I need to turn off the anti-theft system first..."
Just when Zhuang Rui was about to step into the room, Ezkenna stopped Zhuang Rui. He worked at the door facing a monitor panel for a full minute before nodding to indicate that Zhuang Rui could go in.
Ezkenna put a lot of thought into this treasure room. If Zhuang Rui had worn infrared glasses just now, he would have seen that every corner of this treasure room is filled with infrared rays.
Rays, even if a mosquito flies in, will cause an alarm sound.
After getting Ezkenna's permission, Zhuang Rui walked into the room.
"Oh my God, these...are all your products?"
This is not a room. In Zhuang Rui's opinion, the entire second floor of the castle, except for the living room when going upstairs, may be all here. At least Zhuang Rui is standing by the door and can't see this hidden place at a glance.
The end of the treasure room.
In such a large space, everything as far as the eye can see is filled with things. Zhuang Rui doesn't know how many collections there will be here. I'm afraid it's just an ordinary museum, and it's not as rich as Ezkenner's family, right?
Walking into this museum-like hall, Zhuang Rui discovered that there was a slight sound of machinery inside. He followed the sound and realized that it was an air dryer. There was more than one, basically every twenty or thirty meters.
There is such a machine in the corner, which keeps the air inside always dry.
There is a thick red carpet on the floor of the hall. It is precisely because of this that the sound of the dryer is reduced to the lowest point. It is not very noisy. Presumably, Ezkenna took this into consideration when installing it.
factor.
Zhuang Rui knows that moisture is the factor that causes the greatest damage to antiques. There is also a dehumidifier in the basement of his courtyard, but compared to the air dryer here in Ezkenna, Zhuang Rui feels that
It's a little bit unprofessional.
"Mr. Ezkenna, you are a true communist!"
No matter where the antique artworks in the Ezkenna treasure room came from, Zhuang Rui felt a sense of respect in his heart. Even if his ancestors had plundered property from China, it was still worth it if they could be preserved so well.
respected.
"Haha, art is connected. I believe, dear Zhuang, you will be able to find something you like here..."
Ezkenna laughed. He had only brought a few people into his collection room, and all of them were shocked by his rich collection. Now it seems that he and Zhuang Rui have reached a deal.
There is still great hope.
Zhuang Rui nodded and said no more. The time when Chinese art was hyped was after 2005. At this time, Ezkenna had not yet realized that there were many valuable items in his collection.
Objects inferior to Picasso's drawings.
However, this is also a matter of judgment and wisdom. In the eyes of some major foreign experts, the Chinese artworks that can be seen everywhere are still incomparable with the works of masters such as Picasso and Van Gogh.
At the entrance of Ezkenna's collection hall, there are silverware and weapons from various countries that he has collected over the years, as well as some shields and armors. There is a set of medieval armor with a helmet on a model.
, even shocked Zhuang Rui, thinking it was a real person standing there.
There are also a few bronze swords from China, but their appearance is very average, and the spiritual energy contained in them is relatively thin. They are far different from Zhuang Rui's fixed light sword, and they did not retain Zhuang Rui's attention.
.
Continuing to walk inside, on those tall walls, there are various patterns made of cold weapons such as guns, swords, axes, etc., as well as tiger heads and crowns that should be taken from India or Egypt. Zhuang Rui
Unconsciously, I imagined that these should have been plundered from various countries during Britain's heyday.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhuang Rui. His goal is the list given to him by Ezkenna, and the Chinese porcelain on it is the main purpose of Zhuang Rui's trip.
Looking at these dazzling collections, Zhuang Rui walked to the middle of the hall, and the rows of porcelain displayed on wooden shelves immediately caught Zhuang Rui's eyes.
