Chapter 16 15. Noble Legacy

Fortunately, lawyer Mu Le was very open-minded. He said, "Well, Mayor Wang, it seems that you are short of money now, so I won't charge you for the time being, and I will pay you back when you have money."

Wang Bo immediately cited Mueller as an old friend. Who said that lawyers in capitalist countries are all vampires? Look here, here is a Bethune-style good man!

It's a pity that Mueller's lawyer didn't give him a chance to make friends. After the taxi drove out of the slums, he changed cars and left.

For dinner, they ate black pepper chicken rolls, a specialty of Omarama. The chicken is boiled and the meat is taken out to let it coagulate naturally. Then spices are added and starch is rolled into rolls with a roll machine, then deep-fried, and finally Chill in the refrigerator and eat.

This kind of chicken roll is very suitable for eating in hot weather. It is fragrant, tender and detoxified. Wang Bo has eaten this kind of stuff in the past few nights.

Charlie ate the chicken rolls. After eating, he sucked his fingers and said, "Old Wang, are you short of money?"

"Nonsense." Old Wang was still gobbling.

Charlie nodded and said, "Actually, I forgot to mention something..."

Wang Bo's mouth movements stopped suddenly, and he looked at Charlie in horror: "Who else does the old man owe?"

Charlie rolled his eyes and said, "This time it's not about owing money, but about making money. I wanted to tell you about it when I went to the castle last time, but I was scared by the haunting, so I forgot about it. You know, Even if these nobles are ruined, they still have a few valuable things in their hands, and I happen to know one of them."

When he heard that it was not a matter of owed money, Pharaoh felt relieved and continued to gobble it up.

As for what Charlie said, he didn't believe it: "I can't grasp it, click, click, just like my previous insight..."

"Swallow it down, I can't hear you clearly."

"I mean, I don't believe it. If there are valuable things, why don't you sell them and borrow usury instead?" Wang Bo stretched his neck and said, choking.

Charlie said: "For example, if you run out of money in BJ, your parents left you a family heirloom or your ex-girlfriend gave you a gold ring. Will you sell these treasures or borrow usury?"

"Definitely sell these things, I'll borrow an egg usury!"

Charlie was also choked. He blinked, and finally decided not to reason with a simple-minded person like Lao Wang, so he waved his hands and said, "Sir Roberts has the dignity of a nobleman. Anyway, he would rather borrow money than sell this red wine." The box is now in your hands, you can figure it out yourself."

Leaders of various countries have a symbol. For example, the President of the United States is Air Force One, the President of South Korea is a modern car, and the symbol of the British Prime Minister and ministers is a red confidential box.

The history of British leaders carrying red boxes to office can be traced back to 1860. The original red box was introduced by Gladstone, who served as British Prime Minister four times, in 1860. For more than 150 years, the red box has been used as a briefcase for British officials. .

Sir Roberts has such a red box in his hand, and his red box is of great origin. It was given to him by the most legendary iron lady in modern British history, Mrs. Thatcher, so this red box is destined to be invaluable .

Charlie told Wang Bo that many Chinese people know that Margaret Thatcher's first visit to China in 1982 opened a new era of diplomacy in the modern history of China and Britain. But few people know that Mrs. Thatcher did not go back after her visit to China, but then visited New Zealand.

When the British prime minister or the British royal family visited the British dependent countries, if there were any nobles left in the country, they would be accompanied by the nobles. At that time, Mrs. Thatcher was accompanied by Sir Roberts.

At that time, Jazz's financial situation was very bad, and he had been using a somewhat worn-out suitcase during his visit to New Zealand with Thatcher. So when the Iron Lady finished her visit, she thanked Sir for accompanying him all the way, and gave him the red box she used as a thank you gift.

The Jazz regards this box as the glory of the family. Since the day he got it, many political collectors have been interested in the box, but he has never sold it and kept the box in his collection.

After listening to the introduction, Wang Bo asked, "Is there anyone who wants to buy this box now?"

Charlie nodded and said, "Yes, an auction house in Wellington wants to accept this box. If you are willing to sell it, I can help you get in touch."

"How much are they willing to pay?"

Charlie thought about it and said, "On the first anniversary of Mrs. Thatcher's death about two years ago, a charity auction of her relics was held in London. Another red box she used was sold for about 250,000 pounds. That's $530,000, the price buyers are willing to pay."

"Is this the price quoted by the auction house for the Jazz? Why didn't the Jazz sell it?" Wang Bo asked.

"I don't know." Charlie shrugged.

Old Wang put down the unfinished chicken roll, looked at the rising moon with deep eyes, and said leisurely: "Actually, I know the reason. To the old knight, this box is his family's dignity and his own personality. He has Life is rough, his family has almost nothing, he can only use the remaining things to maintain his dignity, so that his personality will not collapse..."

"What do you mean, I don't understand."

"It means that 530,000 yuan is not enough. My box has witnessed a major event in the history of Sino-British diplomacy! 800,000 yuan. If the auction house is willing to pay this price, then take it away, otherwise there will be no discussion! Also tell them, the issue of sovereignty , no negotiation is allowed! The bottom line of personality is not allowed to be negotiated!" After speaking, Pharaoh began to compete with the chicken roll again, which is really delicious.

The transaction of the red box will not be completed in a short time. Charlie promised to ask for him. After receiving the letter, they will go to the castle to take out the box during the day, so that Wang Bo will have money.

Thinking of the castle being haunted, Pharaoh couldn't help Huanjun Mingzhu burst into tears.

What is the most painful thing for house slaves? It's definitely because I obviously have a house but can't live in it. What is the most painful thing? It's because I have a castle but can't live in it!

After eating the cold but delicious chicken rolls, the two of them strolled back. When they passed an oak tree, some dolls suddenly ran over. A little loli raised her head and asked Charlie timidly, "Uncle, Our remote-control-air-plane is hanging on a tree, can you help us take it off?"

The little Lolita looked five or six years old, wearing a milky white tutu skirt and cartoon slippers, her short black hair was combed into a ponytail, and a big yellow bow hung behind her head.

Her cheeks are plump and tender, like a little bun. The long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the big eyes glowed with water and luster. At this moment, two fleshy little hands were twisted in front of his chest, as cute as he wanted, and the cute Wang Bo's heart felt sweet.

But what really attracted Lao Wang was that he felt that the little Lolita seemed to be of Chinese descent. She had the kind of cute look that one could tell that she was a mixed race. , and the blood of the yellow race may be Chinese, and ghost sticks and the like can mix up such a kawaii little cute girl?
