The Charismatic Charlie Wade
Chapter 5865
Seeing Charlieâs firm attitude, Peter couldnât help but tell him:
âMaster, you must not have any head-on conflict with the Routhchild family because of me.â
âIf you donât bear it, you will mess up the big planâ¦â
Charlie nodded his head: âUncle, donât worry.â
âNow the enemy is overt and covert. It can be said that it is easy to make the
Routhchild family look bad and make them uncomfortable.â
After saying that, Charlie looked at Peter and said: âUncle, I still want to make them look bad.â
âI want to ask you to answer some questions for me.â
Peter said hurriedly: âYoung master, just ask it.â
Charlie quickly asked: âI also want to know how my father touched the âNine
Profound Heavenly Scriptures Prefaceâ and âNine Profound Heavenly Scriptures?â
âIn addition, how did my father get involved with Warriors Den?â
Peter sighed: âYour father had a similar experience to you.â
âThe process of him obtaining the âNine Profound Heavenly Scriptures
Prefaceâ is similar to yours.â
âThe process of obtaining the âNine Mysterious Scripturesâ is very similar.â Charlie thought of some
information that his uncle once said, and asked in surprise:
âDid my father also get the âNine Mysterious Scriptures Prefaceâ from an antique?â
âYes.â Peter nodded heavily.
Charlie quickly asked: âWhat exactly happened?â
Peter said: âYou got the âNine Mysterious Heavenly Scripturesâ.â
âIt was your father who entrusted me to bring the âNine Mysterious Heavenly Scripturesâ to you,â
âBut your father got the âPreface to the Nine Profound Heavenly Scripturesâ by complete accident.â
As he spoke, he explained in detail: âBack then, your father, like me, also liked to study the Book of
Changes and all kinds of Chinese antiques,â
âSo he often came to Queens at that time. He came to see me in the store,â
âAnd we often studied some antique cultural relics together.â
âAt that time, I had not yet started to recover cultural relics lost overseas for China.â
âI was just doing antique business. However, your father had been doing this,â
âSo it was only later that I was influenced by him and began to work with him to help those precious
Chinese cultural relics return to China;â
âBecause we had common hobbies and common ambitions, your father and I became very good
friends.â
âDuring that time, our familyâs antique shop encountered a lot of troubles one after another, and was
plotted by many people.â
âIt was only thanks to your fatherâs help that we were able to overcome the difficulties.â
âHe is the benefactor of our family.â
Speaking of this, Peter sighed, recalled for a moment, and spoke eloquently:
âOne day more than 20 years ago, a down-and-out British aristocrat came to our store in London.â
âBecause he encountered a major change, he was anxious to liquidate many antiques and cultural
relics in his family.â
âA large part of the antiques came from China.â
âHe Knowing that our family is quite professional in Chinese antiques, came to us and hoped us to
pack up all the Chinese cultural relics from himâ
âAt that time, I flew to London specially to participate in the evaluation.â
âThere were a total of 400 Chinese cultural relics in the house.â
âEighty-seven pieces, among which there were indeed many good things.â
âThere were more than a dozen pieces of blue and white porcelain from the
Yuan and Ming dynasties alone.â
âIn addition, there were two very precious pastel pieces, and there were many other official kiln
porcelains from the Ming and Qing Dynasties;â
âIn the antique market, blue and white porcelain and pastel are the ceiling of porcelain,â
âAnd the price has always been very high.â
âOfficial kiln is also synonymous with quality and high price, and the price is also very strong;â
âIn addition, there were several collections that were clearly recorded by the
Qing court, and the price was even more expensive;â
âFor such a large number of ceiling-level cultural relics, even if it was packaged at a discounted
price,â
âThe other partyâs lowest price would have been more than 200 million US dollars 20 years ago;â
âAlthough our familyâs business scale was relatively large back then, the antique industry was a very
capital-intensive project after all.
âThe family property may have been worth over a billion or even billions of dollars,â
âBut a large part of it was the inventory in stores all over the world.â
âIf you really want to spend 200 million US dollars, you really canât do it;â
âMoreover, in the antique industry, you canât liquidate the inventory too quickly.â
âThe more inventory you have, the more calm you have to be;â
âBecause The antique industry, like the stock market, is most afraid of concentrated selling.â
âI can buy ten Yuan blue and white porcelain from all over the world at once.â âThe more I buy, the
higher the price of blue and white porcelain on the market,â
âBut I absolutely cannot sell them at once, other collectors of Yuan blue and white flowers may
panic,â
âAnd then sell accordingly, smashing the price of Yuan blue and white flowers to the ground;â
âSo, even if we wanted to sell things at that time, we couldnât raise funds.â
âRealistically, otherwise, the profit from this order may have been lost invisibly due to our own
behavior of dumping the market.â
âIn addition, the time period of the mortgage loan was relatively long,â
âSo we almost couldnât afford this order at that time;â
âAt that time, I know that your father was also very interested in antiques,â
âSo I wanted to get him into a partnership. Firstly, it could solve the problem of funds on hand for
me,â
âAnd secondly, we could make a lot of money together, because I estimated at the time that when I
brought in the antiques,â
âIf we then bought it back to Hong Kong and auctioned it to domestic collectors one after another,â
âThere would be absolutely no problem in clearing out and recovering US$350 million in two years;â
