I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 126 Unbelievable Tattered Gold and Silver
Speculators are essentially predictors. They act on the basis of their own predictions to make a profit, and at the same time bear the risks caused by prediction errors.
As a speculator, I told Arthur rationally that we should understand what we mean to get rich. We can rely on speculation to get rich, but we rely on investment for longevity.
The first speculative act in history was done by Pharaoh Joseph Joseph of Egypt.Joseph, a wise and insightful pharaoh, made correct conclusions from the dreams of seven good years and seven bad years.In good years, he hoarded a large amount of grain, and fortunately, he would put it into the market at a high price in the years of poor harvest.
Of course, there are many famous people in history who are also members of speculative families.Discovering the gravitational force, Newton, who was famous for his ages, also tried securities speculation, but it failed. In the end, Newton even prohibited others from trading securities before him.
Voltaire talked about securities and currencies with his girlfriend for several hours.He also speculated in grain and real estate, and later became popular as a foreign exchange smuggler.
The greatest economist of this century, Keynes, under his portrait, the British government wrote this text: "Sir John Mena Keynes, can successfully obtain wealth without work."
In 1932, following the legendary economic crisis of 1929, the Great Depression reached its bottom. At this time, Keynes invested heavily in American stocks, and the ensuing economic recovery made him a very wealthy man.Keynes was one of the few economists who made money on the stock exchange.
As long as humans exist, there will be speculators and speculators, not only in the past, but also in the future.Therefore, speculators came into being, no matter if he gambled, earned or lost, speculators will never disappear.
As a successful speculator, Arthur chose to make profits as soon as possible and settle down for safety. It was not because he was timid, scared, more willing or poor, because he had too little money, plus his investment. After all, it is still a gamble. Although I know I can win in the end, I can't win every hand.Investment is a very risky thing, once the money is invested, you can't help it.
Be the master of money, not work for money.
"Boom boom——"
The rocker straightened, and as he walked, the more brisk butler Paul pushed in. He smiled at Arthur, who was trying to recall all the financial memories of his previous life, and said: "The treasure appraisal committee has arrived. "
"Oh, they came quickly enough. This is not like the efficiency of the British. I thought they would have to wait for a few days to come here!" Arthur also raised his eyebrows and smiled unexpectedly.
The efficiency of the British is notoriously slow!There is a good saying that in Britain it rains and strikes the fastest, and everything else has to wait.
In the UK, queuing for four hours is a normal thing. For emergency medical treatment in the UK, as long as your condition is not serious enough to threaten your life, it is normal to wait for several hours. You are not embarrassed to wait in line if there is no blood on your body...It takes more than a week for express delivery, one or two weeks for bank card, and call a doctor to listen to music on the phone for one and a half hours. British people say it is normal, so don’t make a fuss.
"How is it possible? When they heard the report, they wished to rush over yesterday. They were all eager to come first and help their museum obtain the most important archaeological discoveries for public interest." The butler Paul said with a mocking sneer.
"Hehe, what I think is beautiful, but unfortunately, I am not short of money now." Arthur stood up from the boss chair, smiled and tidied up his clothes, and said to Paul: "No one can take it. Anything of the Lin family, let's go and let us meet our guests."
"Okay, Lord, on your side, please—" Paul gestured invitingly.
This time the Treasure Appraisal Committee sent a total of three cars and ten people. I have to say that this kind of battle is indeed not small, and it is quite surprising.However, the number of treasures dug up by Arthur is too staggering, 1,350 pieces. When the treasure valuation committee got the news, they were all shocked. The people from the major museums stationed on the treasure valuation committee wanted to join in, so early Touch the owner of the treasure, and brush up on the sense of existence.
"Hello, Honorable Earl, I am Michael Lewis, an archaeologist at the British Museum..."
"Hello, sir, I am James Winter, Department of Archaeology, University of Birmingham, UK..."
"Your Excellency, I am very happy to meet you, I am Southampton Museum..."
......
A group of ten people enthusiastically shook hands with Arthur and introduced themselves, as if worried that Arthur did not know their origins and names, and despised them.
Arthur looked at the group of experts who looked at his green eyes, shook hands with them one by one calmly, and then smiled: "You are very welcome to come, I believe that you all know the specific situation very well. So, I won’t repeat it here. Let’s take a look at the cultural relics first. I know you can’t wait, please—"
Without leaving them in the air, or not cooperating, Arthur led everyone to the studio where the antiques were stored with a smile on his face. He mainly wanted to know the age and origin of these objects, and also asked the group to give them. Perform a rough valuation.
When the ten experts walked into the studio and saw all kinds of gold and silver jewelry on the long table, they couldn't help but exclaimed with excitement in surprise.
"Oh my God, even though I already know a lot of them, I still haven't been mentally prepared to see these!"
"Shocked, breathtaking, completely speechless, even more unbelievable than imagined."
"This is probably the most important discovery I have ever experienced. This scale should definitely rank first in the UK..."
"God, what did I see? This is a pattern craft from the Anglo-Saxon period!"
As one of the experts exclaimed, all the experts seemed to have negotiated. One by one, they took out the magnifying glass and put on white gloves, and each found a cultural relic to move forward, and began to observe carefully.
"Sorry, your honorable Earl, they are a bit rude, but I hope you can understand that the treasure you found is too attractive to them."
Arthur smiled and listened to the treasure appraisal committee official with a dumbfounded explanation. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I can understand their feelings. However, I have to say that the experts are experts. I can only tell the age of these cultural relics, which is really admirable."
"The craftsmanship is so exquisite, this is definitely the highest level of craftsmanship in the Anglo-Saxon period..."
At this moment, James Winter of the Archaeology Department of the University of Birmingham who shouted out the age once again exclaimed, holding a golden cross inlaid with garnets in his white-gloved hands, his expression flushed with excitement.
"Yes, it is basically certain that the things here can be traced back to the 7th century. The number here is much larger than other important Anglo-Saxon treasures..."
"These items are related to war. You see, this piece of helmet shards carved with running animal patterns, and this gold hilt with rubies. These gold skins indicate that they may have been removed from the weapon, but they have not been completely removed. After dismantling, it shows that it was very rushed..."
"It is definitely a trophy. It may have been captured from a certain king in the Anglo-Saxon period. Losing these trophies means that the king will step down."
"... It was mentioned in the famous epic "Beowulf" in the 8th century AD that at that time, there were frequent wars between kings and nobles, which disconnected the British Isles from the rest of Europe, so this period was also affected. This is called the "isolation period."
But judging from the treasures discovered this time, Britain did not isolate itself from other regions as previously thought.The garnet on the cross is likely to come from Sri Lanka and other places, which shows that Britain also traded with distant countries at that time."James Winter of the Department of Archaeology of the University of Birmingham beamed his eyes and showed all his colleagues the distorted and undecent golden cross in his hands, tracing the history like many treasures.
At this time, Arthur and the butler Paul listened to the analysis and conclusions of the experts in the studio. They looked at each other, and they all saw the sparkling brilliance in each other’s eyes. They knew that they seemed to have dug out a Unbelievable pile of'tattered gold and silver'!
