In the end.
After a 'friendly negotiation' between the two parties, the manor was finally sold for 15,000 pounds.
"Pleasure working with you, Sir Edmond.”
Su Xiu smiled and extended his hand to the man in front of him.
"Happy cooperation."
Edmond's face was ashen, but he still extended his hand for the sake of the money.
However, Su Xiu only shook his hand symbolically and quickly withdrew it.
This made Edmond's expression turn even uglier.
"Bill,"
Su Xiu suddenly said," According to the agreement, this manor is now mine, right?”
"Of course, Su."
Bill shrugged.
Both parties signed the contract and paid the money. The manor naturally belonged to Su Xiu from now on.
"Then,"
Su Xiu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said slowly," Please leave my manor, Mr. Edmond.”
"You!"
" Mr. Edmond, private property is sacred and inviolable. You don't want to be taken away by the police for trespassing, do you?"”
"You guys…"
Emmond's eyes were filled with anger, and he wished he could chase these people out of his mansion.
But now, this manor no longer belonged to him.
In the end, he could only leave with the fifteen thousand pounds he had earned from selling his ancestral home and the anger he had nowhere to vent.
Compared to the incompetent and furious baron, everyone in the mansion was in a much better mood.
" Hmph, he's just a Baron."
Cecilia snorted to express her dissatisfaction.
A declining noble who was only a baron was actually so arrogant. He did not have any noble upbringing at all.
Just like how her father was the previous Duke Marlbaro and her brother was the current Duke Marlbaro.
Perhaps only the royal family could be more noble.
Did she go around bragging?
"Alright."
Su Xiu patted the girl's head to comfort her." You said that he's just a Baron. Let him be."”
In any case, the manor was already in his hands, and it was at a lower price than before.
Su Xiu couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
"Don't touch my head."
Cecilia's face was slightly drunk. She mumbled, but her body didn't resist.
"Mr. Su."
Butler Natalia asked," Do we need to inform London to move here?”
"There's no hurry."
Su Xiu thought for a moment and shook his head gently." Let's wait for a few days before making the necessary arrangements.”
He spent money to buy a manor.
Now, the manor was in his hands.
However, Edmond owed a terrible debt. Before selling the ancestral home, he had dismissed almost all the servants.
Now, there were only a few of them in the 1,200-acre, nearly 5-square-kilometer manor.
In order to manage this manor, the gardeners, chefs, and maids would need at least a hundred people.
Moreover, it was such a big place.
Without the protection of the guards, Su Xiu wouldn't feel at ease living alone.
Therefore, he had to return to London to form a guard team.
"Sue,"
Bill came up to him with a smile." Other than this manor itself, there are many good things in this castle. Do you want me to take you there?"”
When he was inspecting the manor for Su Xiu, he had already looked through the entire manor.
Firstly, it was to ensure that there were no hidden dangers in the manor.
Secondly, it was to further evaluate the value of the manor based on the decorations and collections in the manor.
Therefore, he was quite familiar with the manor now.
"Oh?"
Su Xiuluo was a little surprised and nodded happily." Let's see then."”
15,000 pounds. Just buying this manor was already a huge profit.
Bill had also mentioned that there were some collections from the East in this manor.
Although Su Xiu did not have much expectations for the value of these collections.
But after all, it was still his now, so it was not a loss to take a look.
"Then, please follow me."
Bill bowed formally and led Su Xiu through the long corridor like a butler. They stepped onto the wooden stairs to the second floor.
"Wait!"
At the corner of the stairs, Su Xiu suddenly stopped.
" Su, is there a problem?"
Bill's heart skipped a beat. He thought that there was some hidden danger that he hadn't discovered.
However, he soon realized that Su Xiu's gaze was not on the stairs itself.
It was a bronze statue on the wall at the corner of the stairs.
"Bring a chair over."
Su Xiu quickly instructed.
"I'll go now."
Natalia reacted and said immediately.
"Su, what is that?"
Bill looked at the bronze statue with some doubt.
Because in his eyes, it was just an ordinary ornament.
However, Su Xiu's reaction showed that the bronze statue was not ordinary.
"I'm not sure yet."
Su Xiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice," But it's very likely to be a snake head!”
"Snake head?"
Bill stared at the bronze statue carefully. It was indeed in the shape of a snake's head.
However, no matter how he looked at it, this bronze statue was extremely ordinary.
"Mr. Su."
Natalia quickly brought a chair to the stairs. Seeing this, Bill immediately said," I'll do it, Su. I'll help you get it!"”
Bill took the chair from Natalia.
Then, he stood on the chair and carefully took down the bronze statue and handed it to Su Xiu.
The bronze statue was cast with precision, and the surface was carved with fine chisels. The fine animal fur and other details on the statue were chiseled and forged, making it clear and realistic.
The nose, eyes, ears, and other important parts, as well as the wrinkles on the nose and neck, were all very delicate. There was not a trace of sloppiness, showing an extremely high level of craftsmanship.
Although Su Xiu was not an expert, he could tell at a glance how difficult the casting process of this copper head was.
If it was in the future, a bronze statue of a similar shape was very likely to be forged.
However, in this era, no one would go to the trouble of forging a worthless bronze statue.
Therefore, he was basically certain that this was the snake of the twelve zodiacs!
Yes, it was.
In this era, the copper head, which was regarded as a treasure by later generations, was not worth much.
In fact, until the 1980s, the price of a horse head bronze statue was only 1500 US dollars.
In the early 20th century, the value of these bronze statues was even lower.
This was because it was difficult for foreigners to understand the value and significance of these bronze statues.
Even if Edmond was called back, Su Xiu would not be able to buy the bronze statue for more than ten pounds.
However, in the 21st century where Su Xiu had transmigrated.
The mouse head and rabbit head of the twelve zodiac bronze heads were sold for up to 14 million euros!
What was the concept of 14 million euros?
After a simple conversion, it was almost equivalent to a small goal.
Although this price was raised by someone, even if it was raised, the money was real!
If he took this thing back, wouldn't it be a small goal?
Moreover, the snake head of the twelve zodiac bronze heads was only hanging on the wall as an ordinary decoration!
To Su Xiu, he did not spend a single cent. It was no different from a free meal.
"What a pleasant surprise."
Su Xiu reached out his hand and gently stroked the scales carved from the snake's head. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Originally, he had only wanted to buy a simple manor, but there was an unexpected surprise.
