C2980 The Dark Financial Game (1/2)
Eugene used the banner of a forged cannon to enter and leave the Shabelle Gate unhindered. The members of the National Guard did not care about the 'rubbish' inside the horse carriage.
There was not even a wooden frame on a foot of rotten oil painting. It looked just like a rag!
Dirty marble statues, carvings full of mud!
A whole cart of swords? These medieval junk can't fight or melt in the smelters outside the city!
God, there was even a Knight in full armor? He even had the full body armor of a war horse from the past?
Eugene, how long has it been since your Steel plant replenished itself? Why are all these pieces of trash kept in my own factory!
The ignorant are not guilty, of course they do not know that that foot of oil painting is the real Titian! He also didn't know that the Venus in the ancient Greece was thousands of years old!
Although the swords and armors had been withdrawn from the battlefield, these palace goods had recorded the evolution of human weapons. These swords all had a master, and every one of them could tell an ancient story.
The shortest of these pieces was at least a hundred and fifty years old. In order to continue their cooperation with the Chinese, Eugene and Andrew had given them a very good quality goods from the third carriage. They had even taken out the most valuable ones from the storehouse.
The three carts of goods were sold to Sima Yun five times the original price. It looked like a lot, but it wasn't expensive at all.
Louis XIV's full-body armor, not a single piece, cost only 16,000 francs!
The final price for Titian's work was only 3,500 francs!
This was indeed Golden Age's game of literature, the gold of troubled times! Normally, you might not even be able to buy these artifacts with money, but due to the great change in history, they were as cheap as trash!
Sima Yun was not afraid that these two would use fake goods to trick him, because he was very clear on this kind of stupid business. As long as he angered the Head of the Guards, he had ten thousand ways to make them go to hell!
As long as he revealed any information about the enemy, both his relatives would be beheaded!
Of course, there must have been some mistake in the sight of so many pawns, but that was the inevitable wear and tear in the business world!
Xiao Letian had calculated before that as long as the percentage of fake goods in these artifacts did not exceed 30%, then the final result could be considered to be a big harvest!
Most importantly, this era's cultural relics market was not as impetuous as the 21st century. Many of the fakes were not exaggerated; they were nothing more than 17th century cultural relics lying that they were from the 14th century!
The dryad's Pink color is sold to you as Kang Xi's Pink color, it is just a deceit of an eyesight. As for purely faking it in Europe, there aren't many of them!
A promissory note worth 210,000 francs caused Eugene and Andrew to go crazy. Standard Chartered, HSBC, Bank of Scotland … They are all big banks in Europe, and all of Europe recognizes that these promissory notes can be freely exchanged!
The bearded man in London had said that if a capitalist had a profit of 100%, they would take the risk. If a capitalist had a profit of 200%, they would defy the law!
With a profit of over 300%, they could trample on anything in the world!
Eugene and Andrew were in Paris City, taking advantage of the chaos in the city to play with the history of the collapse in their power, and began to eat like crazy.
A hundred francs worth of oil paintings was already considered a treasure of the Renaissance!
