MTL - As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store-Chapter 425 first meeting
Chapter 425 First meeting
Immediately afterwards, the Duke of Somerset looked at several other photos, and at this time the original smile was gone.
Looking at the photo in his hand with a serious face, he looked at it carefully, his eyes seemed to be born on the photo, and he didn't want to move.
"Zhou, you don't want to say that the scepter of Victoria Parliament, King John's crown and these two masterpieces are all in your collection, you know that these things have disappeared for hundreds of years, especially King John's crown They have already sunk into the vast sea!" The Duke of Somerset couldn't believe his eyes.
But looking at the background of the photo, he had to believe that Zhou Chao had these things, but he didn't know if it was true.
"Duke Somerset, falling into the sea does not mean that you will sleep on the bottom of the sea forever. There is always a one-in-a-billion possibility!" At this time, Zhou Chao smiled lightly. in their own hands.
"Zhou, these are all your collections, can you sell them to me?" The Duke of Somerset looked at Zhou Chao expectantly.
He knew that what Zhou Chao showed him must be true, otherwise he would not have let the Chinese envoy in London come forward to invite him.
"Haha, I may disappoint the Duke of Somerset. I am also a collector, and I am not short of money. I own more than 30% of the shares in two of the top three luxury goods groups in the world. , money is just a number to me!"
Zhou Chao's words directly stunned the Duke of Somerset and Guan Ze. Neither of them thought that Zhou Chao's net worth was so rich. Guan Ze looked at Zhou Chao in surprise.
After all, what the country told him was to fully cooperate with him and told him about the relevant matters, but they didn't tell him Zhou Chao's identity. He was surprised when he knew that Zhou Chao was so rich.
As for the Duke of Somerset, apart from being a little surprised at the beginning, he soon came back to his senses. After all, being able to invite Abdul to attend the Queen's banquet in person is enough to show that Zhou Chao's identity is not simple. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
"Zhou, what do you mean?" The Duke looked at Zhou Chao with some doubts, and now he also understood that the banquet tonight was for these priceless treasures.
"I definitely won't sell it, but if there are good cultural relics, you can still consider exchanging them!" Zhou Chao looked at the Duke of Somerset meaningfully.
"Change?" Hearing Zhou Chao's words, the Duke of Somerset frowned slightly.
After all, the two paintings alone can be called national treasures, not to mention the Victorian parliamentary scepter and King John's crown, which can be said to be priceless treasures in the world, and they are also very important to them.
For a while, the entire private room fell silent. Zhou Chao ate the fruits and desserts after the meal calmly, and Guan Ze was also sitting with the old **** watching the show. As for our Lord Duke, he would already be frowning at this time. The kind that locks tightly enough to trap flies.
"It is definitely necessary to change, but what to change!"
While the Duke of Somerset was meditating, Zhou Chao looked at Guan Ze and said, "Old Guan, have you ever visited Hall 33 of the Great Eagle Museum? I know there are so many of our precious cultural relics there!"
Guan Ze, who was caught by Q, suddenly understood, and said with a regretful look: "You are unlucky, if you came a while ago, you could still see the treasured pictures of the Nine Sections of Female History, the Liao Sancai, the murals of Qingliang Temple, Shuangyang Zun these precious cultural relics!"
"That's a pity, but it doesn't matter much. When you return to China, you can go to my place to see my collection. The jewel on King John's crown is really good!"
"I'll be bothering you when the time comes!" Guan Ze also said with a smile on his face.
The Duke of Somerset is not an idiot either. The two of them sang together and they couldn't tell where they sang, and they just said by name: "If you want the Victorian parliamentary scepter, you want the treasures in your Great Eagle Museum." Huaxia cultural relics in exchange!"
The room fell into silence again. Zhou Chao and Guan Ze looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths were slightly raised.
Everyone knows that this is a conspiracy, but you have to drill in. The Duke of Somerset sighed, then looked at Zhou Chao and said: "Zhou, I will go back and think about it. This photo of yours can be given to you." Me, I want to take it back and appreciate it!"
"Of course there is no problem. If you want to visit, you can go back to China with me!" Zhou Chao couldn't help but aggravate his tone at the end.
"Thank you, I still have something important to do, so I'll be leaving first!" The Duke of Somerset hurriedly left with the photo after speaking.
Only Zhou Chao and Guan Ze were left in the entire private room.
"Mr. Zhou, you think the Duke of Somerset will report to the higher authorities!"
"Should be, after all, the Victorian parliamentary scepter is thinking about the rights of the royal family, and the crown, which is of extraordinary significance to them. Even if they know it is a conspiracy, they have to eat the bitter fruit with tears!"
Guan Ze was silent for a moment before he said: "I'm afraid they will jump over the wall in a hurry, which is bad for you!"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I've already made arrangements. I'll fly to Monte Carlo overnight and stay there for a few days. I believe they are more anxious than us. By the way, Mr. Guan, you can let someone spread some gossip , Plausible, let them be more passive!"
"Hahaha, don't worry about this, it will definitely be done properly!"
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
After getting out of the hotel, Zhou Chao got into Todd and drove in person. The three cars headed for the airport. It didn’t take long for Zhou Chao’s super car to take off from London Airport and fly to Monte Carlo in Morocco.
At this time, the Duke of Somerset, who had just finished the phone call, also got the news that Zhou Chao and his party had left the Eagle Kingdom. The Duke's face also changed several times, and finally he could only sigh.
"It seems that I have made the worst plan!" Besides calling Buckingham Palace on the way back, the Duke also asked someone to investigate Zhou Chao, and it turned out that Zhou Chao had a large share in both the Leidu Group and the Lifeng Group. He basically fully believed what he said this time.
It was almost early morning when Zhou Chao landed in Monte Carlo, and went straight to the hotel that had been arranged.
…
"How do you know I'm in Monte Carlo?" Zhou Chao asked suspiciously while holding the phone.
"When I flew over, I saw your plane parked on the private apron, so I guessed that you were here, so I called you to ask!" Zhou Chao hadn't seen him for a few days Abdul!
"Oh ~ where are you now, things are over in London?"
"No, it's better if you don't talk about it. Whenever I talk about it, my head goes crazy. In the past two days, I feel that my ears are full of discussions and arguments. I just sneaked here to have fun!" Abdullah complained.
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"Sea fishing, go or not!"
"Okay, let's meet at the pier!" Zhou Chao hung up the phone after finishing speaking, and jumped up from the bed.
Washed up, put on a light sportswear and went out, took Lin Wu and Todd out of the hotel, and drove straight to the pier.
As soon as I arrived at the pier, I saw Abdul standing proudly on the bridge of a large yacht. The sea breeze was blowing wantonly, and there was this fishy and salty smell in the air.
As soon as Zhou Chao and the others boarded the boat, Abdullah asked the captain to sail out of the dock. Only then did Zhou Chao realize that there were two small boats towing behind the large yacht.
Zhou Chao sat beside Abdullah with a glass of red wine and asked, "Why hasn't the acquisition been reached yet? It's been several days!"
"Hey, it's hard to say!"
Abdullah let out a long sigh, and then began to explain to Zhou Chao.
There is nothing wrong with the things on the surface, but the main thing is that the things behind it are very troublesome. The club's senior management is not interested in their Saudi consortium. There are some things that Abdullah did not say clearly, but Zhou Chao knows it well.
"Then why are you still negotiating and not looking for the next one?"
"I still want to work harder, forget it, let's not talk about this, come, drink!"
"Bang" Zhou Chao picked up his wine glass and touched him. The two sat on the bridge drinking and chatting like this, and the ship stopped after a while.
Lin Wu and Todd were already busy at the stern holding the sea fishing rod.
"I wonder if I can catch a bluefin tuna today!" Zhou Chao muttered to himself looking at the calm and calm Mediterranean Sea.
Abdul on the side laughed directly.
"Zhou, you don't need to think about this idea. You must know that bluefin tuna is an endangered species. Under normal circumstances, fishing and eating are not allowed. In some areas, if you eat it, the relevant departments may trouble you. Even if you If you want to fish for bluefin, you need to find a boat with a quota, and our boat is only fishing for other fish species."
It didn’t hurt Zhou Chao to hear these words. After all, he just wanted to experience the feeling of fighting against bluefin tuna. After all, he still had a lot of bluefin tuna in his warehouse.
Didn’t say to find a special boat to go fishing. With his ability, it’s no problem to catch it alive. As long as you find bluefin tuna and use Animal Affinity, why don’t you just send it to your door?
The two of them came out to fish to pass the time, and they didn't care much about whether they could catch the fish. Of course, if they really caught a big fish, it would be a great sense of accomplishment.
Until the west of the sun, Zhou Chao and Abdul had already put away their fishing rods, lying on the deck chairs on the bridge and chatting with each other.
"It's getting late, let's go back!" Abdul said.
"Okay!"
Soon the yacht started heading towards the pier.
Back to the shore, Zhou Chao and Abdul went to the previous restaurant for dinner. Originally, Abdul invited Zhou Chao to go to the beautiful nightlife together, and Zhou Chao would not decline it.
"You should also pay attention to your body, don't play too late!"
"Understood!" Abdul waved his hand, put his arms around a big horse without looking back, and left with two bodyguards.
