Putting down the wine glass, Lawrence opened two boxes, then took out a black velvet bag from the inner pocket of his coat and handed it to William,
"Mr. Devonshire, this is the Desert Star Sapphire and the Rat and Rabbit Bronze Heads you requested. Now they are all yours."
He took the velvet bag, opened it and took out the Desert Star inside. He looked at it for a few times and said with a smile, "Have you cleaned up the beginning and the end?"
"Of course, sir, the way Earl Russell obtained these three items is inherently secretive. He certainly would not dare to reveal the information about these three items to the outside world."
Then Lawrence asked cautiously, "If you need it, I can help you figure out the ownership of these three treasures. I guarantee that there will be no problems even if you put them up for auction tomorrow."
"Thank you, I can handle this kind of thing myself."
William has already known how to deal with these three treasures whose ownership is disputed, and he will not be an idiot and leave the clue to a fat man like Lawrence.
Lawrence was left to have lunch and chat about other animal heads.
During the conversation, Lawrence told William that he had found out who owned the horse, dog and pig, and was now negotiating the price with the owner of the treasure. Only the snake, chicken and sheep had no clue, and there had been no news in the antique circle.
William sat on the chair and thought silently. The chicken head should be in the Sich Castle in France, while the snake and the sheep were quietly staying on a stranded ship.
So after thinking about it, William directly said to Lawrence, "You still owed me 9 million pounds before, and today you sent rats and rabbits, so you still owe me 7 million pounds, right?"
"Yes, sir", Lawrence nodded.
"Send the horses, dogs and pigs to me, and the debt between us will be cleared, no problem."
"Of course, of course", Lawrence almost shouted with excitement. Buying horses, dogs and pigs for 700 pounds would not only make a fortune, but also immediately fulfill the agreement with William.
Lawrence, who had seen William's methods, said immediately without any hesitation, "I will talk to the treasure owner this afternoon and promise to deliver these three treasures to you tomorrow. Sorry, Mr. Devonshire, I have to leave first. We
See you tomorrow".
"Haha, I like your attitude. Lawrence, maybe we will have a lot of cooperation in the future." William stood up and shook hands with Lawrence, "I'm waiting for your good news."
"No problem, see you tomorrow, sir."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
After sending Lawrence away, William said to Sunday, "Help me find out if Earl Russell of France has a niece who also has the title of earl."
"Yes, sir".
A few minutes later, the Sunday Times reported, "Sir, Earl Russell does have a niece named Catherine Russell, but the relationship between the two of them is not very good."
"Whether they have a good relationship or not has nothing to do with me," William said with squinted eyes. "Does the bank own the ownership of the Catherine Family's Sich Castle and all the items in the castle?"
"Yes, sir, the ownership is in the hands of the Bank of France. The price is about 160 million U.S. dollars, and the Château de Sich is also part of the northern corner of the Chantilly Castle complex."
"Château Chantilly? Help me ask if the entire Château Chantilly is for sale?"
"Sorry, sir, I don't think anyone dares to sell Chateau Chantilly. You'd better give up. The reason why Chateau Siché can be sold is because this castle has always been owned by Ms. Catherine's family and is the same as Chateau Chantilly."
They are separated by adjacent lakes and not connected together."
"Ask, there is no loss in asking," William curled his lips and said, "As long as they are willing to sell the price at a negotiable price, and tell the people at the Bank of England and my personal lawyer Anthony, I will become the owner of Sichuan Castle today.
”.
"Okay, sir, although I think you are wasting your energy."
After taking a nap, William got up and walked to the parking lot and drove to France. Two and a half hours later, in the Chantilly area north of Paris, outside the Château de Sichée, Anthony, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward as soon as William got off the car.
Help William open the car door.
"Good afternoon, boss, the contract is ready. As long as you sign this document, this 230-year-old Sich Castle will be yours."
He took the document from Anthony's hand, put on special glasses and scanned it. Soon Sunday told William that the document was fine, and took the gold pen handed over by Anthony to sign his name on the document.
"Congratulations, boss, I will contact Miss Abigail about receiving the collection in the castle. After the appraisal, will it be shipped back to England or will it continue to stay here?"
After Anthony finished speaking, a burst of bickering in French was heard. William turned around and saw a beautiful woman arguing loudly with several men in suits dozens of meters away from him.
"Ship it back", after saying to Anthony, William looked at the man who stood a few meters away from him and looked to be in his 50s.
"Hello, Mr. Devonshire, I am Pierre, the general manager of the Bank of France. I am very happy that you can come to France to invest." Pierre shook hands with William, and then said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
"Sorry, sir, that Miss Catherine Russell is the daughter of the former owner of this castle. I didn't expect her to make trouble at this time, but don't worry,
It's useless for her to make trouble anymore. The complete ownership of this castle was already in the hands of our bank in June this year. There is no doubt about this. And from the moment you signed the document, this 1,200-acre castle
Hectares, huh?”
Pierre paused for a few seconds, fearing that William was not used to calculating in hectares in England, "You are the owner of the approximately 2,966 acres of the castle."
William nodded, "I don't doubt this, but Mr. Pierre, is there anyone still living in this castle? I don't want to have to deal with historical issues with the previous owner after buying it."
"No, don't worry, we have arranged for the family of the former owner of the castle to stay in a small villa in Paris." Pierre pointed to a leaving ambulance. "That ambulance is here to pick up Catherine's grandmother."
of".
"That would be great," William squinted at Pierre and said, "can you tell me whether the ownership of the entire Chateau Chantilly is in the hands of your bank?"
"This, this", Pierre looked at William with some surprise. Before, he thought Anthony and the people from the Bank of England were joking. He simply didn't believe that someone would want to buy the Chateau Chantilly.
"Don't doubt it, I do intend to buy it all. The current issue is the ownership of Chateau Chantilly." William looked at Pierre with a look of disbelief, "If it is in the hands of your bank, you have
Do you plan to sell?"
"Mr. Devonshire, are you sure you are not joking? This is a complex of buildings comparable to the Louvre. This joke is not funny at all, and even if we want to sell it, all the people in France will not agree."
El nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"So the ownership is indeed in the hands of your bank, not the French official?"
