Chapter 291 The Earl's Manor is in hand(2/2)
"Of course! Count how many people there are and then go purchase ingredients.
There is no need for wine. I took a look and found that Mr. Hardibes has a wine cellar with a lot of wine in it. Let’s drink this in the evening." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Sir, you are so generous!" Rosa and Lisa both looked surprised.
They know very well that any bottle of wine in the wine cellar is more than their daily salary.
"There are cars in the garage, do you have a driver's license? Just pick one and drive whichever one you like!" Zhang Junping handed the bank card to the two people and asked them to purchase it.
After explaining the task, Zhang Junping stood up and walked into the castle.
I spent so much money to buy the castle, but I still haven’t had a good look at it.
The actual height of the Baroque-style castle is three floors, but the hall on the first floor is seven meters high, and the top two floors are more.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large Persian carpet, but it is not as luxurious as the count's manor in Rean, so that the entire castle floor is covered with Persian carpets.
There is just a three-by-three Persian carpet as decoration at the door.
The other floors are made of marble, including the wall skirts, which are also decorated with marble.
The marble floors and wall skirts of the Earl's Castle are really marble, marble from Dali, Yunnan.
Rather than European white stone marble.
European white stone is also called marble in transliteration, but its quality is not as good as marble from Yunnan, China.
It can be seen that the first owner of this count's manor was so extravagant that he imported marble from China to build the castle.
On the white walls, there are many decorative oil paintings and Baroque-style accessories.
As soon as he saw the oil paintings on the wall, Zhang Junping knew that he had gotten a big deal.
Although these oil paintings are not the works of famous artists such as Picasso and Rubens, they are also works of some slightly famous artists.
These oil paintings can be sold for tens of thousands of French francs without any problem.
In the lobby on the first floor alone, Zhang Junping saw more than a dozen such oil paintings, as well as many Baroque-style handicrafts, which were also very valuable.
Look at the list in your hand. It's very detailed. All the items in the castle are included in the list. Even bedding, table lamps, and all movable items are on it.
There are a total of seventy-eight oil paintings of various types and forty-two pieces of handicrafts and ornaments. These alone add up to almost one million francs.
And the wine in the cellar is worth hundreds of thousands anyway.
Oriental craft table lamp, thirty-six lamps?
When Zhang Junping saw the desk lamp, he paused. What does the oriental craft desk lamp mean?
Zhang Junping went upstairs to the room upstairs.
Seeing the desk lamp placed on the bedside, Zhang Junping was stunned. Damn it.
Isn’t this too luxurious?
Pick up the desk lamp and observe carefully: as thin as paper, as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, and as loud as a chime, is this shadow celadon?
No, it can't be shadow celadon. This was blue-white porcelain produced by JDZ in the Ming Dynasty specifically for export to Europe.
This kind of porcelain once traveled to the West with Zheng He and was exported to Europe in large quantities. European bone spurs were fired in imitation of blue and white porcelain.
This is an Earl's Manor. No matter which owner it is, they are not ordinary citizens who are ignorant and do not know Chinese porcelain and the preciousness of Chinese porcelain.
If it were celadon from the Song Dynasty, even the first-generation manor owner, the Earl, would not be willing to use it to make craft table lamps.
Only blue and white porcelain, which was once exported to Europe in large quantities, is used to make craft table lamps.
Using blue and white porcelain to make craft table lamps is also an extremely luxurious thing.
Although Europeans like Chinese porcelain and silk, they still don't understand it as well as the Chinese.
These thirty-six lamps alone are worth more than ten million francs.
I didn’t expect that even if I buy a manor, I can pick up the missing pieces.
Although the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is not as valuable as the blue and white porcelain of the Song Dynasty, it is still a collection-grade porcelain.
The Chinese are very particular, and the products they export are often more sophisticated. I don’t know what’s going on with the other thirty-five desk lamps.
However, the blue and white porcelain used in the table lamp in front of me is definitely the best among the best. Both the shape and glaze color are carefully selected.
The kind of top-quality porcelain that can only produce one or two pieces in a kiln.
In a few decades, each piece of this kind of porcelain will be worth millions of RMB. Now, if you put it on the market and meet a knowledgeable owner, it can be sold for hundreds of thousands of francs.
Although it was made into a table lamp by an unknown manor owner, it did not destroy the porcelain. Instead, it cleverly used the characteristics of being as thin as paper to put the light bulb into the porcelain vase, and made a bracket with ivory underneath to hold the vase.
Mounted upside down on an ivory stand.
Even the lamp cord is passed through the ivory into the vase and connected to the light bulb.
The production is very exquisite. Regardless of the value of the blue and white porcelain, this ivory craft table lamp alone is worth a lot of money.
After putting down the desk lamp, Zhang Junping went down to the first floor and followed the stairs to the basement.
In addition to a wine cellar, there is also a collection room in the basement.
However, at this time, the collection in the collection room had already been pawned or sold by Boris Hardibes, and was already empty.
Zhang Junping came down mainly to see how big the collection room was. If the space was big enough, calligraphy, paintings and handicrafts shipped from China could be stored here.
The collection room is indeed not small, covering more than 300 square meters, but it is very clean and empty except for some shelves.
There are no leaks to pick up.
etc!
Zhang Junping was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly felt something was wrong with the shelves.
Who says there are no leaks to pick up?
Zhang Junping approached the shelves and looked at them carefully.
These shelves are specially customized to display collectibles.
Judging from the production process and the decoration on it, they all have a Baroque style.
Baroque-style finely crafted furniture is also very famous, originating from the European royal family's special furniture production technology.
Although it is just a shelf, it is still beautifully made and uses a lot of inlay technology.
The wood is also the oak most commonly used by European nobles.
Oak is the wood most commonly used by European royal families and nobles, and is also one of the precious woods.
Because of its high density, oak wood is difficult to evaporate, so it is prone to cracking. Making furniture requires a lot of workmanship.
Because every piece of oak furniture made by European royal families and nobles can be called a work of art.
With the harvest, Zhang Junping left the underground collection room with satisfaction.
In fact, the so-called picking up leaks is just a kind of psychological comfort.
It was impossible for him to sell any items, so he could only seek psychological comfort.
Coming out of the basement, more than thirty store clerks had divided their duties and were cleaning the castle.
Zhang Junping smiled and shook his head. These clerks were no strangers to things like cleaning, but it was a pity that they were wearing makeup.
"Sir!" Seeing Zhang Junping, the clerk stopped what he was doing and greeted Zhang Junping sweetly.
"Thank you!" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
"Sir, can you really bring your family and friends to the party at night?" Seeing Zhang Junping being so kind, the clerk at the work bar became bold.
"Of course!
Otherwise, there are so many beauties among you, and I am the only man, and I would be under a lot of pressure!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"No! Sir, we are all very enthusiastic and we promise not to make you feel any pressure." A store clerk with a little baby fat said with a sweet smile.
Chapter completed!
