Chapter 8 New Opportunities
After publishing the paper, the next step is to see the other party for review.According to tradition, it is difficult for a pure newcomer like Liang En to be spotted by such a famous magazine and publish his own content.
But considering that this thesis can be said to have taken a very important step in the deciphering of ancient Egyptian characters, there is still a high probability that the other party will get a chance for a newcomer like him.
But in any case, whether the paper can be published after it is sent out is in the hands of those reviewers and editors.So for Liang En, this work will naturally come to an end with the publication of the thesis.
So after realizing that today was the day for the auction, Liang En immediately drove straight to the emerald thrift store to find out the result of the auction.
"You came so fast, I was going to call you to come over and give you money." After seeing Liang En enter, Pierce, who had just come in and was taking off his windbreaker, immediately showed a surprised expression.
"I just finished posting that paper more than an hour ago, and I hurried over after I went downstairs to have breakfast." Liang En walked to the counter and leaned against the counter and asked. "How about today's auction?"
"Very good. The four items I found are all quite popular." Pierce said as he came out from behind the counter and locked the store door, then handed a schoolbag to Liang En.
"Your money is here, order now."
Compared with ordinary people who use credit cards for large transactions, many antique dealers or treasure hunters prefer to use cash for such transactions.So Liang En naturally took the schoolbag, took out the money inside and counted it.
"Why are they all 50 pounds?" Looking at the stacks of brand new red banknotes, Liang En frowned slightly.
Because in the UK, the maximum amount of cash used on weekdays is generally 20 pounds, and these brand new 50-pound banknotes are a bit too eye-catching.
"No way, those nobles did take into account our habit of liking cash. But they only got a superficial understanding. And I can't say anything about it." Pierce shrugged.
"You won't give more than 18200 pounds, right? I remember you only owe me 15000 pounds for that gun." After counting the money twice, Liang En asked with some doubts.
"Of course I didn't pay much. Your necklace sold for 3200 pounds. And considering that the gun sold for a good price, I won't take the deal."
"3200 pounds? But I remember that the dragonfly eye's overall condition is relatively average, so the market price is between 800 and 900 pounds. Including the original trade beads, it can be sold for about 1500 pounds at most."
"You said that the beads were disassembled and sold in pieces, and the history of your original necklace gives it extra value, so it is normal for the price to double at the auction."
After Liang En stuffed the cash into his pocket, he asked about the details of the auction. "You just said that you successfully sold the four items you brought at the auction. Does this mean that you have entered their circle?"
"It's not that easy, I just put a little toe into that circle now." Speaking of this, Pierce cheered up all of a sudden.
"But even a little toe is a huge opportunity for us, like me this time—"
Sure enough, different information circulated in different circles.For Pierce, the auction was not only about making a fortune.The biggest gain is that I got a lot of opportunities that I never had before.
For example, this time, he learned that a Russian tycoon wanted to sell a mansion in Carlisle because of inconvenient turnover, so some more professional people were needed to clean it up.
"How is the other party treated?" Liang En asked seriously, because those rich and powerful people not only have various rules, but also may not be generous in giving money, so it's better to ask about this kind of thing.
"Because I came from the old housekeeper at the auction, we can get 600 pounds a day without a middleman to make a difference, and at the same time, all the cleared things belong to us."
"Does it all belong to us?" As soon as Pierce finished speaking, Liang En showed a look of surprise.
Because under normal circumstances, when the clean-up work is completed, they need to hand over those high-value items and items related to the employer to the person in charge, and they can only take them away unless they are allowed.
But even so, those things that are taken away can often make them a fortune for the cleanup, and this is the most attractive thing for everyone.
Also because of such rules, after hearing Pierce say that the other party did not ask for this in this regard, he was naturally a little shocked by this unusual situation.
"Don't worry, there's no problem with your safety." Seeing the change in Liang En's face, Pierce assured him, patting his chest.
"At least this channel can be said to be very reliable. As for why this situation happened, the other party did not elaborate. Of course, I am not easy to ask about this."
"That is to say, the room may be mainly garbage this time." Liang En raised his eyebrows. "Otherwise, the other party won't let us take everything so easily."
"You're right, but the problem is that they give too much money." Pierce shook his head.
"Let's not say that the 1800 pounds that the other party gave us for three days this time is considered a high salary. We can make a good fortune just because of the things that the rich don't want."
Early the next morning, Liang En drove his minivan behind Pierce's medium-sized truck towards Carlisle, which is located in the northernmost part of England.
Like Pierce said.Although the work this time was relatively hard, the money given by the other party was enough to make Liang En, who was in no hurry, take a trip.
The distance from London to Carlisle is more than 400 kilometers, which is equivalent to spanning the entire England.
Fortunately, the road between the two places is a highway with very good road conditions, so they finally arrived there at 8 pm when they set off at 4 am.
After finding a safe small hotel for one night, the two of them went directly to the manor of the Russian tycoon the next day.
The house is a mid-sized Victorian estate located on the outskirts of Carlisle.Just from the large courtyard covering an area of at least one hectare, you can see how luxurious this manor is.
After walking into the main building composed of beige walls and black roof, Liang En and the others entered the living room with a dozen other people, listening to a middle-aged man who looked more like a gangster than a housekeeper. Young people assign tasks.
Maybe because it's a newcomer.So Liang En and Pierce were assigned to the servant kitchen, and the other was assigned to three servant rooms.
"Bullying newcomers——" Liang En, who took the task, muttered dissatisfiedly, and Pierce beside him didn't look very good.
As we all know, in this kind of place, the easiest place to find big gains is the various rooms and warehouses that belonged to the owner. As for the rooms related to the servants, we can only hope that the number of things found is enough to make small profits but quick turnover. .
But after complaining, those jobs still have to be done.After all, as soon as the person came, the other party paid half of the salary first, so for the sake of 1800 pounds, Liang En would still stick to it.
After descending the stairs from the second floor, Liang En and Pierce said goodbye to each other at the stairs, and then went straight to their assigned rooms to start working.
