Chapter 64: Guarding This Declining Glory
"I know your taste. The temperature is just right now, please," Richard said, pointing to the tea on the tea table next to him.
Guo Xiaotian smiled and punched Richard. The two of them sat down on the sofa and started drinking tea.
"Talk about the serious matter first," Richard said directly after taking a sip of tea.
"Richard, you are still the same as before. It seems that you can't change this habit," Guo Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Of course, this is my advantage, and it must be kept." Richard was not polite at all.
"Tomorrow, arrange someone to go to the headquarters of Sotheby's Auction, find someone named Arthur, and sign an agreement with him. The conditions are......" Guo Xiaotian slowly explained the conditions, and Richard nodded. It was not a big deal.
"Simple, I'll let Pete go tomorrow," Richard said directly.
"Oh, it seems that Pete has received your approval. Congratulations, there are successors," Guo Xiaotian said directly.
Pitt has never been able to be responsible for the case alone. Richard believes that Pitt’s ability is not good. Now that Pitt is released, he obviously recognizes Pitt.
"Thanks"
"Peter accepted three cases that I specially arranged last year. He performed very well and won with a dignified victory. It was time for him to start independent. He would be very busy in the next step," Richard said with a smile on his face.
Richard has only two daughters, and neither of them is a legal profession. It is obvious that the law firm will not inherit it. In this way, the best candidate is Pitt. Richard has put in a lot of effort to cultivate Pitt.
"Guo, if you don't call me, I will call you in a few days," Richard said directly.
Guo Xiaotian was stunned and made an action that Richard continued to say. He was a little curious. Richard would definitely not look for him in ordinary things.
"My old friend Earl Bayer was in a lot of trouble. His son was so troublesome. He owed a debt of up to 15 million pounds in a gambling process."
"There is no way, Bayer only has one son, I can't ignore it. He has already thrown his son to the army. I hope the army can change his son. Now I can only find a way to raise money. I plan to sell a batch of treasured antiques. I don't plan to promote this matter, and I hope it can be carried out secretly. After all, Bayer still has a certain reputation and is unwilling to lose his reputation."
"So I found me and asked if I could introduce him to a reliable person," Richard said directly.
"Richard, average, I'm not very interested," Guo Xiaotian said directly.
Guo Xiaotian likes antiques of oriental civilization, especially ancient books about oriental Taoist culture, and is willing to spend money on this aspect. People who know Guo Xiaotian basically know this.
Earl Bayer is also one of the shareholders of the law firm. He helped a lot on Richard's rise and was considered a friend of Richard. Guo Xiaotian and Bayer have also met several times, but they have never had a deep conversation and nodded.
"Of course, that batch of cultural relics are very ancient, all of which are cultural relics from the Celestial Han Dynasty before the Han Dynasty. They belong to the national treasures and are very precious. The Bayer family has been preserved for more than a hundred years."
"If it weren't forbidden this time, Bayer wouldn't have thought of selling these cultural relics," Richard said directly, very clear about Guo Xiaotian's preferences.
"Okay, you can arrange your time, I'll go and have a look," Guo Xiaotian said without much care.
"You'll wait for my phone tomorrow," Richard said with a smile.
The two began to reminisce about the past and disappeared for more than a year. There must be a lot of things to say. Moreover, Guo Xiaotian is also a shareholder of the law firm, so he should also care about the operation of the law firm.
At night, I really couldn't refuse. Guo Xiaotian had a meal at Richard's house. He knew Richard's wife and had a lot of topics to talk about, so he didn't feel bored. It was not until after nine o'clock that Guo Xiaotian returned to the hotel.
The next morning, when Guo Xiaotian returned to the room after exercise, "Guo, Richard called, come over at 11 o'clock, and go to Victory Manor together." Amanda reported.
"Okay, you ask the hotel to bring some breakfast, I don't want to go down." Guo Xiaotian explained and went directly to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, the breakfast was also delivered. Guo Xiaotian had a big meal. One person's appetite was enough for three people, and he had a lot of appetite. Amanda knew this and ordered a lot of breakfast.
After dinner, I read a book in the room. In more than an hour, it was the agreed time. Let's wait. Amanda was also reading a book. Neither of them disturbed each other. It was very quiet when reading a book and drinking tea.
"Dangdang..." The knock on the door sounded, and Guo Xiaotian continued to read without moving. Amanda stood up and walked to the door, opened the door, and soon brought Richard in.
"Guo, let's go," Richard said in and said.
"No problem, I've been waiting for you." Guo Xiaotian put down the book, stood up, and came out with Richard.
Richard did not drive and took Guo Xiaotian's car to Shengli Manor. This is the ancestral property of Bayer's house and covers a considerable area. Bayer himself has a title and is also a member of the House of Lords and has a certain social status.
If it weren't for the big troubles of his son this time, Bayer would not have thought about selling antiques, even if those antiques were stolen from China by his ancestors.
This is the glory of the family ancestors. Every time I go to the basement to look at these antiques, I can bring Bayer a lot of passion. If I hadn't really done anything this time, I would never have taken advantage of this batch of antiques.
According to family records, part of this batch of goods was obtained by our ancestors dug a large tomb in Henan, China, and then in the Qing Dynasty at that time, they obtained part of them. There were many cultural relics from the East.
Cultural relics cannot be sold with great fanfare, because aristocrats will be looked down upon by people in the aristocratic circle. This kind of arrogance penetrates into the bone marrow of aristocratic people. Even if the title of aristocrat is no longer popular now, most people still insist on protecting this declining glory.
The two sides shook hands when they met. Bayer had met Guo Xiaotian several times. They met when the law firm shareholders were meeting. They had heard Richard say yesterday, so they were still quite enthusiastic about Guo Xiaotian.
"Guo, let's go to the basement. I hope there is something you like." Bayer said helplessly. Guo Xiaotian nodded and looked at Richard.
"You guys go, I'll go out for some activity," Richard said with a smile. Obviously, Richard didn't want to interfere in the matter here.
"Okay," Guo Xiaotian said, stood up, and followed Bayer to the second floor of the villa.
When he arrived at a room on the second floor, Bayer pressed the machine to the bookshelf, moved the bookshelf away, and an elevator appeared. Bayer made a gesture of asking for help.
