Andrey on the other end of the phone was still chattering. In fact, Jin Muchen also understood his meaning, and he just wanted to boast about how much effort they put into this auction, and used it to show Jin Muchen their abilities and lay the foundation for the next cooperation.

In fact, he didn't want to listen to his long-winded words at all. He just interrupted him because of his politeness. He could only give him a few perfunctory words and finally said: "Happy cooperation, I look forward to having another chance to cooperate next time."

This made Andre shut up and hung up the phone.

The transaction price of 30 million US dollars was taken away by the British government, and the remaining 27 million was taken away by Christie's, which was reasonable.

I got 22 million yuan, plus more than 7 million yuan in the bank, and now I have $30 million in funds.

The Japanese black painted gold-painted wooden box was auctioned before, and more than 10 million yuan was paid. Helen's more than 2 million yuan was paid. Add some 70% to the income, and a total of more than 9 million yuan was over.

But later I kept buying various antiques, especially when I went to the ghost market, I spent a lot of money, and now there are more than 7 million left.

Now I have nearly 30 million yuan in my hands, and it’s not the case that I always put it in the bank like this. It seems that after returning to the United States, I really have to give this money a way out and ask Harvey for a few letters of investment intention.

Otherwise, if the money is left in the bank for them to lend, then I will be a big loser.

However, before returning to the United States, I still have to take a good walk in the UK. After all, this is also a world-famous antique capital. You can't just visit the British Museum. The antique market in the UK is also worth a good walk.

For example, the Portobello Road flea market, which is known as the world's largest, is a world-famous antique market. After visiting London, how can you not go anywhere?

If you want to buy antiques in London, there are two places to go, one is at the Portobello Road flea market in the west of London, and the other is near the Hilton Hotel where he is staying.

The flea market on Portobello Road. As the name suggests, it is a relatively common, grassroots market. Its nature is somewhat similar to that of Panjiayuan, which is early in China.

Every Saturday, some London residents would take things that they could not use at home to sell them. Because of the images of the Empire that the sun did not set back then, many of the ancestors of London residents were once sailors, navy, or colonial soldiers at that time. So their ancestors had found a lot of good things from all over the world.

So although the stall owners who sell are all civilian families, they can see some good things from time to time on their stalls.

Over time, this place has become a well-known antique market. Today, it has become a well-known large antique market in the world's antique circle.

And it is different from their American counterparts, the stall owners here have similar concepts to the Chinese.

Because the United States was founded for a short time and had no history of its own, in the eyes of Americans, as long as it is an old object, exquisitely made and well preserved, even if it is only twenty or thirty years old, it can be called an antique, without considering any historical background.

These antique vendors on Portobello Road have a long history, monumental significance, or cultural relics value, exquisite workmanship, and good quality preservation, which can be considered antiques.

Therefore, most of the antiques sold at their stalls are genuine products, which is the main reason why the market of this street is famous all over the world.

As for the other antique market next to the Hilton Hotel, it is located on Kensington Street, which is originally a wealthy area, so the antique market on this street is composed of hundreds of antique shops of all sizes.

Unlike the flea market on Portobello Road, these antique shops do not have that much grassroots atmosphere. This is a commercial area specifically designed for high-end customers, and its business model is completely different from that on Portobello Road.

Because Britain has a very relaxed political atmosphere, although it does not have the broad territory and relatively loose immigration policies as the United States, it can still attract many opponents from all over the world who have objections to their governments, fallen politicians, or exiled political prisoners, etc.

These people used to be elites from those countries. When they went into exile to the UK, they often brought a lot of good things.

After a century of history, most of these things have been scattered in the UK, which has become the main source of goods for these antique shops and the main means to attract customers. It is full of all kinds of rare treasures with various styles around the world.

Those who do business here include Germans, French, Dutch and Italians, Russians, Indians and Pakistanis, and even many Africans who come to Black Africa.

The antiques they run often have very strong ethnic characteristics, so they are also a very worthwhile place to visit.

However, Jin Muchen was born in a grassroots family, so compared to the taller antique shops on Kensington Street, he would rather go to the Portobello Street Market.

It just so happened that tomorrow was Saturday. Jin Muchen prepared for the day in the hotel, and he was excitedly on the road early the next morning.

Portobello Road is located in the Notting Hill area. Many people who don’t understand antiques may not have heard of this road, but when it comes to Notting Hill, older people should still remember that in the 1990s, an American big mouth female star and a British male star once filmed a romantic comedy movie called "Noting Hill".

Jin Muchen remembers that when he was a child, he seemed to have watched this movie and still had some impression of it. The scenes of this movie were collected in this Notting Mountains.

So along the way, the typical British-style courtyard fences at the doors of the houses in this community, the blue wooden doors, and the bookstores that once appeared in the movies all made him feel like he was acquaintance.

He slowly walked on the street in a taxi, while experiencing the British style and missing the clips of past movies. After half an hour, he finally arrived at the famous Portobello Road.

This place is as famous as 47th Street in New York and is rated as the world's eight antique distribution centers by antique magazines. It is even ranked higher than Panjiayuan.

Since getting off the car, Jin Muchen has been full of expectations for this street.

The name of this street is full of Latin style. In fact, it is mainly to commemorate the British Admiral, Vernon, occupied Portobello in the Caribbean in 1793, so it was named.

But although the name is full of Latin style, this street is a typical British street.

Starting from a corner on the small hill, it can extend downward for about a few kilometers. Today is Saturday, and on the side of these miles and between the road, there are almost all the vendors coming to London.

There are second-hand goods, some sell vegetables and fruits, and of course all kinds of street snacks are indispensable, but the most common one is to buy antiques.

Because they don't have their own shops, the nature of the small vendors here is actually the same as the money skewers that set up street stalls in Panjiayuan before. Moreover, they are quite specialized in antique knowledge. Compared with their American counterparts, these British people are much more professional.

Taking a deep breath of the air mixed with the aroma of various snacks, Jin Muchen first came to the front of a snack car, ordered a snack, and then walked inside while eating.

It is worthy of being a world-famous antique distribution center. The things on the stalls on both sides of the road make Jin Muchen dazzled and dazzled.

And like the introduction I saw in the magazine before, it is full of exotic style, where you can almost see treasures from all over the world.

There are all kinds of silverware from the UK, porcelain from the continent, various small oil paintings, as well as goldware from the Ottoman Empire, various bone and stone sculptures from Africa, various native masks in Southeast Asia, and handicrafts. Here, people have to stop and take a closer look at each stall.

Although there are many antiques and Jin Muchen doesn't understand them very well, the various colors of light that flooded the treasures told Jin Muchen that these are definitely real things and good things.

It’s a pity that Jin Muchen has so many good things in his hands recently. Although this quality can be considered high-end, it is not a top-notch thing and it is hard to catch his eye.

So he just watched it casually, hoping that after walking this street, he could encounter some good things that really made him feel moved.

The street was about a few miles long. When he set out from the top of the hill, Jin Muchen did not see the end of the street, so he walked for a whole morning and didn't know if he had walked halfway.

Although he walked very slowly, he got nothing this morning. It was not that there was no good things here, but those good things, which are no longer qualified compared to those treasures separated from his Zi Yu Space.

Moreover, the vendors here are all slick, but they are not inferior to those money skewers in Panjiayuan, Beijing. As long as they like something, they will also know the real value of the thing, which will block his possibility of finding a bargain.

This also made Jin Muchen feel a little disappointed. Isn’t it just to get a bargain in such an antique market? If you can’t get a bargain, there is no fun to talk about.

What's more, what can be regarded as high-end products here, now there are higher-level high-quality products in his space!
