Chapter 124 Incredible gold and silver tatters

Speculators are essentially predictors. They act on their own predictions to make profits while bearing the risks brought by prediction errors.

Also as a speculator, reason tells Arthur that you should understand what it means to stop when you are better. You can rely on speculation when you get rich, but you can rely on investment when you keep growing.

The first speculation in history was done by Joseph of Egypt. Joseph, the intelligent and insightful pharaoh, made the correct conclusion from the dreams of seven good years and seven bad years. In a good year, he hoarded a large amount of food, but fortunately he put it into the market at a high price in the years when the harvest was bad in the future.

Of course, there are many famous figures in history who are also members of the speculative family. Newton, who discovered gravity and was famous for his eternal years, also tried securities speculation, but failed. In the end, Newton even forbidden others from trading securities in front of him.

Voltaire once talked with his girlfriend about securities and currency for several hours. He also speculated on grains and real estate, and later became popular as a foreign exchange smuggler at that time.

Keynes, the greatest economist of the century, wrote this passage under his portrait: "Sir John Menagna Keynes, can successfully obtain wealth without working."

In 1932, with the legendary economic crisis in 1929, the Great Depression reached its bottom. At this time, Keynes invested heavily in US stocks, and the subsequent economic recovery made him a very wealthy person. Keynes was one of the few economists who made money on the stock exchange.

As long as human beings exist, there will be speculators and speculators, not only in the past, but also in the future. Therefore, speculators emerged. No matter whether they have gambled, made money or lost money, speculators will never disappear.

As a speculator, Arthur chose to make profits and take advantage of his pockets as soon as possible, not because he was timid, afraid, and was even more willing or poor. He had too little money in his hands. In addition, his investment was still a kind of gambling after all. Although he knew that he could win in the end, he could not win every hand. Investing is a very risky thing, and once money was invested, he could not help himself.

Be the master of money, not work for money.

"Dongdong"

The rocker was straighter and straighter, and as he walked, his footsteps became more and more brisk, the housekeeper Paul pushed the door and entered, smiling at Arthur, who was trying to recall all the financial memories of his previous life, and said, "The people from the Treasure Valuation Committee have arrived."

"Oh, they came quickly enough. This is not like the British's efficiency. I thought they would delay it for a few days before coming here!" Arthur also raised his eyebrows and smiled with surprise.

The British are notoriously slow in their work efficiency! There is a saying that goes, it is the fastest in the UK when it rains and strikes, and everything else has to wait.

It is common to wait in the UK for four hours. If you are not serious enough to threaten your life, it is normal to wait for several hours. If you don’t carry any blood on your body, you will be embarrassed to queue up... It takes more than a week for express delivery, and it takes one or two weeks to apply for a bank card, and call the doctor to listen to the phone music for an hour and a half. The British said it is normal, so don’t make a fuss.

"How is it possible? When they heard the report, they wanted to come over yesterday. They were eager to take the lead and help their museum obtain the most important archaeological discoveries for public interests." The butler Paul sneered sarcastically.

"Haha, I think very beautifully, but unfortunately, I'm not short of money now." Arthur stood up from the boss's chair, tidied up his clothes with a smile, and said to Paul, "No one can take away anything belonging to the Bolin family. Let's go and meet our guests."

"Okay, lord, please come here," Paul reached out to invite.

This time, the treasure valuation committee sent a total of three cars and ten people. It has to be said that this kind of situation is indeed quite large and quite surprising. However, the number of treasures that Arthur dug out was too amazing, with 1,350 pieces. When the treasure valuation committee received the news, they were shocked. The people stationed in the treasure valuation committee of major museums wanted to participate in order to get in advance to get the owner of the treasure and give it a sense of existence.

"Hello, dear Earl, I am Michael Lewis, an archaeological expert at the British Museum..."

"Hello, Your Excellency, I am James Winter, Department of Archaeology, University of Birmingham, UK..." "Your Excellency, I am very happy to see you. I am the Southampton Museum..."...

The group of ten people shook hands with Arthur very enthusiastically and introduced themselves, as if they were worried that Arthur would not know their origin and name, but despise them.

Arthur looked at the group of experts who looked at his green eyes, shook hands with calm expressions, and then smiled: "I welcome you all. I believe that you are very familiar with the specific situation, so I will not repeat it here. Let's look at the cultural relics first. I know you can't wait, please come here."

Without leaving them alone, and without not cooperating, Arthur brought everyone to the studio where the antique cultural relics were stored with a smile. He mainly wanted to know that these things were dynasties and origins, and at the same time, he also asked these people to give them a general valuation.

When ten experts walked into the studio and saw the long table full of gold and silver jewelry, they couldn't help but feel excited and exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my God, although I already know that there are a lot of them, I still don't prepare myself when I see these!"

"Shocked, breathtaking, speechless, and even more incredible than I thought."

"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 the pattern craftsmanship of the Anglo-Saxon period!"

As one of the experts exclaimed, all the experts took out magnifying glasses, put on white gloves, and each found a cultural relic to come forward, and began to observe carefully.

"Sorry, dear Count, they are a little rude, but I hope you can understand that the treasure you have discovered is so attractive to them."

Arthur smiled and listened to the officials of the Treasure Valuation Committee, with a laughing and crying expression, shook his head slightly and said, "This is nothing, I can understand their feelings, but I have to say that experts are experts, and they can only tell the age of these cultural relics at a glance. It 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, the Department of Archaeology at the University of Birmingham, exclaimed again, holding a golden cross with garnet-inlaid in his hand with white gloves. He looked excited and his face turned red.

"Yes, basically certain that the things here date back to the 17th century. The number here is much larger than other important Anglo-Saxon treasures..."

"These items are related to war. Look, this helmet fragment carved with the pattern of running animals, and this golden sword hilt inlaid with rubies. These golden skins indicate that they may have been removed from weapons, but they have not been completely removed, which shows that they were very hurrying at the time..."

"It is definitely a spoil, which may have been seized from a king during the Anglo-Saxon period. Losing these spoils means the resignation of this king."

"... It was mentioned in the famous epic Beowulf in the 8th century that wars often occurred between kings and nobles at that time, which caused the British Isles to be disconnected from the rest of Europe, so this period was also called the "isolated period".

But judging from the treasures discovered this time, Britain did not become isolated from other regions as previously believed. 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's eyes shone brightly in his eyes, showing all his colleagues the distorted golden cross in his hands, as he traced back history.

At this time, Arthur and the butler Paul listened to the analysis conclusions of the experts in the studio, looked at each other and saw a flashing brightness in each other's eyes. They knew that they seemed to have dug up a pile of amazing 'gold, silver and rags'!
