British 1986

And this little higher price is the so-called respectability.

In this way, the nobles who are forced to deal with their property will not be too embarrassed.

And with such a hint of gratitude, other "business" will be easier to negotiate.

This is considered a "mutually beneficial" behavior.

But these are not the point. The point is that when they trade, they sometimes sign a small agreement.

If the nobleman from whom the items were purchased becomes rich in the future, he can buy back the items he sold at the market price.

Although the market price is more expensive than when they sold it, there is always a way to retrieve old items. It feels like a high-end pawn shop, and it has a sense of déjà vu that saves people from fire and water.

And some nobles who know how to do things will give some benefits to those who come to "talk business".

In the future, we will have friendships and interact more often. As long as we work for a long time, these connections will gradually accumulate. Although they are all poor and settled nobles, they are still nobles!

Therefore, despite the fact that Wells is already middle-aged, although their family is in decline, they are still doing well. Their assets are not too rich, but they are much better than ordinary people. .

This can be regarded as a way of life for the descendants of declining nobles, relying on the noble industry, eating and drinking, and making connections.

"sit."

Wells finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Allen sit down. Allen was sitting here just now. Although he was smiling, he just felt that he was under a lot of pressure.

It is said that this man was smiling the whole time when he killed Andrew that day, which is scary to think about.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I am truly flattered by your generosity."

"Hahaha."

Allen twisted his neck, relaxed and leaned back, took out a cigarette and lit it, and just looked at Wells without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the study slowly became quiet, and Wells felt the pressure slowly return. He felt that Allen's eyes looked like a hungry wolf when he looked at him through the smoke, and he felt a little panicked.

"I heard that your great-grandfather was still a baron at that time? Why was he reduced in the end?"

Allen's voice finally came, and Wells sniffed.

It's sad to talk about this. In the days of Great Britain, the title could still be reduced, but it was not like now. Even if someone commits a crime, the title would still be there.

Their family is the most unlucky child. Their ancestor made a mistake by seeking death, and then his title was removed.

Nowadays, it is seen that although the life of the noble class is not as good as the outside rumors say, their status is not low.

And their home is gone!

The title started with his great-grandfather and disappeared!

It’s only a hundred years apart.

And this matter was so embarrassing that he was embarrassed to say it.

"Your Excellency, this is all ancient history, so it's okay not to mention it."

Wells sighed for a while, his eyes were red, but he still changed the topic.

"Well, I'm sorry for bringing back your sadness again."

Allen curled his lips, what's the trick for heart-to-heart talks?

Remember the bitterness and remember the sweetness!

Reminiscing about bitterness means asking the person being talked to to think about the sad things in the past. What was the saddest thing about Wells?

It must be that his family's title has disappeared in modern times, and by his generation, he is nothing.

And what about Sitian?

It’s just a matter of drawing a big pie.

Only by suppressing first and then promoting can you win over people's hearts.

"Your ancestral home is gone now. I heard that you have moved out of London for your children to go to school?"

A little bitter, Allen felt that the heat was not enough, and he apologized, but he still continued to bring up Wells' sadness.

"."

Wells opened his mouth and looked at Allen, not knowing what to say. Why are you sad about something? How about I give you a cry, Master?

"Hmph. Open it."

Seeing Wells's expression, Allen held out his cigarette hand and gestured with his fingers, asking Wells to lift the red cloth he said was covering the table.

"???"

Wells looked surprised and glanced at Allen again before standing up, bending down and holding a corner of the red cloth with one hand and slowly opening it.

What comes into view are neatly folded pounds sterling by the dozen!

Fifty-one denominations of pounds, the Queen's head shines brightly, a dozen is five thousand pounds!

There are at least dozens of them here.

It’s not like Wells has never seen money before. He’s seen more money than this. He’s talked about business so many times. How much money has he never seen?

But in the past, he had been exposed to more checks, but it was rare for him to see hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash just like this on the table.

Anyway, for so many pounds, the visual impact is still very big!

Wells looked at the pounds on the desk and swallowed secretly. In order to give his children the best education, he even sold his house in London. Although he was not in debt, he was short of money!

"This is two hundred thousand pounds, and now it's all yours!"

Allen smiled and smoked, as if the two hundred thousand pounds were like waste paper to him.

"hiss"

Wells suddenly looked up, the joy on his face flashed, and then turned into worry.

Is this to bribe yourself?

He didn't dare accept the 200,000 pounds in benefits.

If you dare to give this price, how much trouble will you have to do?

As an aristocrat, Wells was very self-aware. Otherwise, his family would have been completely ruined over the years, and he would not be able to work in the British Museum now.

"Sir, what do you need me to do? My abilities are limited."

"No, no, no, Wells, don't refuse in a hurry. This money can only be regarded as the first tip I give you. As long as you help me get things done, there will be more in the future, and they will only be more than this amount." , it will not be less than this amount.”

After listening to Allen's words, Wells swallowed again. Is this the first time?

More to come?

His eyes unconsciously moved to the pile of pounds again, and Wells felt dissatisfied.

He is in a dilemma between heaven and man.

Whether a person can abide by the bottom line does not depend on his education and morals. It just depends on whether the chips offered by the other party are high enough!

"Sir, can I first hear what you need me to do for you?"

Wells struggled to look away from the pile of pounds, looked at the floor under his feet, and asked with some hesitation.

"It's very simple. I heard that there are many cultural relics in the British Museum warehouse that have only been counted in quantity, and even the specific names are incomplete. Is there any way you can help me get a batch of cultural relics?"

"???"

Wells suddenly looked up at Allen.

This matter.

It sounds big, but in practice, as long as you are brave, it is not particularly difficult.

The point is, his current job coincides with this professional matter.

As we all know, the British Museum collects cultural relics that British gentlemen have looted from all over the world over the past hundreds of years.

Everyone from the countries they plundered came to Britain and visited the British Museum, and no one came out of it with a smile.

The entire museum is said to have the most comprehensive collection of cultural relics from various countries in human history.

but.

The cultural relics on display in the British Museum account for only 1% of the total number of cultural relics compared with the many cultural relics that have been stored in warehouses all year round and kept in the dark.

1%!

The remaining 99% of cultural relics are kept in warehouses all year round.

Moreover, due to cultural differences, the names registered for some foreign cultural relics are extremely inaccurate.

For example, let’s take an ancient painting from China.

There is an image of a child herding cows on it, and there are villages, mountains and other scenery in the distance.

If it were to follow the Chinese method, it would be a name like "Children Herding Cows", but if it were in a warehouse, it would probably just be a random name and that would be it!

Such cultural relics are everywhere in the British Museum. The collections are of different ages, and their internal management is not particularly strict.

In this way, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Whether you use a fake to replace the real thing, or a more brutal method, just let someone take it out secretly, there are many ways to take things out if you want to.

And what if there are internal personnel cooperating in this process?

Doesn't this mean that Mr. Allen has entered the Grand View Garden?

Take whatever you want.

"Your Excellency, if this thing is exposed, I will be in big trouble."

A trace of confusion flashed across Wells's face.

"If you want to make money, you have to take corresponding risks. Wells, you don't know that, right? Is there any business in this world that is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money?"

Allen looked at Wells with a smile.

"this"

Wells clenched his fists and moved his eyes to the pile of pounds.

He is still struggling, he is still weighing.

"However, since I asked you to come here today, I definitely can't let you take too many risks. As long as you help me do things, after completing a stage, you will give me complete information, and I can arrange a thief. Fuck you If you commit a robbery in a designated warehouse, you can transfer all risks to the thief."

"???"

Wells began to breathe quickly as he listened to Allen's arrangements.

He did not ask what would happen to the thief if he was caught. With your Excellency's temper, the thief would most likely disappear as long as he completed the theft.

This is dead without evidence!

In this way, even his risk is reduced.

Facing this two hundred thousand pounds, and an unknown amount of benefits in the future, but it will only be more, Wells was completely moved at this moment!

"Sir, I am willing to serve you! Which warehouse are you interested in?"

Wells took a step back, caressed his chest and saluted Allen, looking like a little butler, and entered the scene very quickly.

"Haha, very good, very good. I like people like you who are aware of current affairs. Wells, you are very good, but don't worry. At the moment, I am somewhat interested in the old furniture of the Spencer family. I don't know about you. Can you provide me with a list of the artifacts in their home?”

Allen looked at Wells with admiration. Our country is really full of talents, and there are elites everywhere!

"This is too simple. I have an album of pictures that I can show you when I get back."

Wells didn't care that Allen was not in a hurry to do things. Instead, he cared about the things in Spencer's house, their old furniture. As long as there was a channel, everyone would care about it. Who would think that there are too many good things.

This is probably your first test for yourself.

Wells had a humble smile on his face. He had exactly the information Allen needed and could contribute it now.

"Haha, okay, take the money and I'll ask the butler to send someone to take you back."

Allen finally sat up straight this time, pulled the bell and started calling.

In early June, there were no large-scale celebrations in Great Britain.

But this month, the Queen is celebrating another birthday.

She celebrates her birthday twice a year.

April is the normal birthday for her to be born, and this birthday in June is, damn it, her official birthday.

The reason why we decided to set it in June is because it used to be relatively cold in London in April, so it was not convenient to hold large-scale outdoor celebrations. However, June is much better, and you can hold large-scale outdoor celebrations.

In order to facilitate outdoor celebrations, the Queen celebrates her birthday twice a year, one by herself and the other with the people.

But in recent years, the economic situation has been too bad, and it is difficult to hold extravagant and wasteful celebrations, so the royal family usually gathers together for dinner or something, even if it is to celebrate the Queen's second birthday.

On June 4th, a Lynx military helicopter whose livery was changed to blue slowly sailed along the route towards Llanelli Port.

Prince Hussein wore soundproof earmuffs and looked at the furnishings in the helicopter.

This should be a modified military helicopter.

And it's also a naval type.

Although the anti-submarine radar in front of the nose has been removed, the radome is still there.

Due to the removal of some unnecessary equipment inside, a lot of space was left. Not only did the passenger capacity increase, but the range also increased.

You know, Lynx helicopters are currently Britain's main military helicopters, used by both the army and navy.

And Allen can directly build one and modify it into his own private helicopter. This feat

Anyway, Prince Hussein is quite envious.

He has long heard of the Earl of Carmarthen, who is located in a "remote area". There are vague rumors from the outside world that his methods are not simple and his temper is very reckless. However, many news media about the public only have the impression of this person. He is very approachable and very socially responsible.

This time he came to Daying to celebrate his sister's birthday. When he heard that this guy actually played a duel with others and killed them directly, Prince Hussein stopped hesitating and hurriedly prepared to get acquainted. He liked fierce violence. People prefer people who have some real power in their hands.

Prince Hussein likes an aristocratic gentleman like Allen who can line his own pockets even more!

Through aristocratic bugs like them, he might be able to get some things that he couldn't get through normal channels?

Jordan is not as rich as Saudi Arabia. It would be better if it could get some slightly older arms through Allen. Anyway, this matter is not urgent. Prince Hussein is ready to establish a good relationship with Allen first. Especially this time, he gained something new. The secretary next to him made his heart move!

This further deepened Hussein's determination to get to know Allen. Fortunately, this gentleman was very generous and did not keep him waiting. In just a few days, he sent a special plane to pick him up for the banquet. It is said that the banquet was held at his On a private superyacht?
