Chapter 304 The Seymour Family
Four Rolls-Royce Phantoms parked at the hotel door.
The doorman's eyes had already lit up. He first greeted good morning with a respectful look on his face, and then helped open the car door.
When I saw the banknotes handed over by Ye Dongqing, I saw that the green Franklin was so sad that the rich people were different.
The security company helped rent a car. The wool was on the sheep. It was OK to cooperate for so long, but Ye Dongqing still had to pay for the expenses. He left directly from the account of Tamsui Investment Group, so he didn't need to worry about it.
I didn't notice it last night. It was not until the next morning after contacting Mr. Robin Beckenbauer that Ye Dongqing noticed something abnormal: "Oh, bulletproof car glass is so thick!"
"Yes, that's right. Rolls-Royce has been busy shipping some time ago and creating the three regular Phantoms behind. This bulletproof version was released at the beginning of the year. There are only two in the world now, one in the Queen's hands and the other in here. Our boss is afraid that customers will get into trouble, so it is absolutely safe to sit in this car."
The bodyguard driving said in a local accent with a British accent. The two brought from the United States did not know the road, and Laura didn't know the exact address, so she had to ask the new bodyguards to help. They were all retired special forces soldiers with a good reputation, which was more trustworthy and lazy.
Ye Dongqing looked at it and found that it was still new and the smell of leather had not even dissipated.
Seeing that the hunting was happy, he patted the seat and said, "No matter how much your security company boss buys, I will pay double and ship it to me directly to New York."
He was a big customer, and the bodyguard did not agree directly. He replied with a smile: "I will call him later. However, you should indeed customize a few more models of the same model and place them in a place where you often stay. As long as the chassis is not filled with explosives, there will most likely be no problems. When this brand was still in the hands of us British people, the appearance was not so beautiful. I have to admit that there is indeed a set of German artificial cars."
"I'm a serious businessman, no one will attack me."
Lehe said that, but Ye Dongqing is indeed planning to purchase a few more bulletproof cars. There are many lunatics these days, and it is inevitable that they will attract wind when the tree is big.
...
It is close to nine o'clock in the local time.
Laura went out with her tired face. Last night, she didn't go back to her long-term luxury apartment she rented at all. She was tortured very much. In order to cover up her dark circles, she specially wore a pair of sunglasses, which looked a little mature.
She holds several small endorsement contracts in her hand. The other party has requirements for clothes, makeup, hairstyles, etc. At least it cannot appear ordinary in public, otherwise the other party will pursue part of the compensation. In fact, there are many rules and regulations in her business, and the rewards are also very large.
The convoy drove northwest along the street, and the buildings gradually decreased, with large hills and woods appearing, and occasionally some small pastures can be seen. As a major animal husbandry country back then, the weather in England is very suitable for grass growth. Some pastures have been passed down for hundreds of years, and living outside the city is more comfortable than noisy city areas.
Ye Dongqing suddenly asked the local bodyguard in London and said, "Do you know about the Seymour family?"
"Of course, aren't I taking you there now? This family has fallen, but it once produced a major general and a marshal.
No one talks about it anymore. Glory has disappeared with the collapse of the Sun-Down Empire, but it will still be better than ordinary people. It would be great if I was born in a once powerful family. Unfortunately, my great-grandfather participated in the World War and finally brought back a worthless watch. He exchanged money for other things to drink."
The tone was full of envy.
The United States has no history, and it is the War of Independence, Civil War, etc. The history of a country is not even as long as Harvard University. There was Harvard first and then the United States. This sentence is not just a joke.
Just like people in Washington often discuss new global trends, Londoners can undoubtedly talk more about things. Various ancient families, royal families, parliamentarians, celebrities, football, are things that London residents often talk about. They don’t really know how to talk about the weather.
It can be said that the entire British history is condensed in this city of London. The history of major noble families is simply changed to classical novels. In modern times, the royal family was still the same royal family. When a mother was a long life, she might endure the first heir until her death. Many nobles of that year declined over time. According to this local London bodyguard, since the death of the Navy Marshal Seymour, the family has never produced any prominent figures, but are just relying on their old capital.
The figures who have participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance have been counting for more than half a century. There are still so many antiques hidden in their homes. It can be seen how strong the British nobles accumulated back then. If they didn’t spend money heavily, Ye Dongqing would probably be able to enjoy it for hundreds of years because he knew that the Chinese antiques would be popular in the future.
I asked before going out in the morning. Mr. Beckenbauer told him that the collections of the Seymour family were mainly Chinese cultural relics. He used a new mobile phone to check the life of the Marshal, especially his deeds in Asia. He learned that the guy was mainly active in the south and had not entered the most luxurious Old Summer Palace. This made Ye Dongqing's expectations suddenly become much smaller, thinking that there would be nothing too good.
Well, in fact, even if there is a good thing in front of Ye Dongqing, he may not know him, so he hired a lawyer in advance to bring a camera and prepare to leave some evidence and contracts, in case he buys fake goods at that time, and there is no way to pursue them again.
At the beginning of 2004, the mobile phone could be connected to the mobile network, but the signal was pitifully poor, especially after leaving central London, it took more than ten minutes to check this information. Thinking about it, it would be better to call back to the United States and ask the assistant on duty to help me check the information and then dictate it to myself...
It was really not far away. I heard that it was about to arrive. Ye Dongqing looked down and saw the castle on the small hillside not far away.
The surrounding artificial grass is covered with weeds and the fence is dilapidated. It can be said that the lawn is one of the faces of a luxury house. If you have money, anyone will be equipped with several gardeners. From this perspective, the Seymour family seems to be quite miserable now, but when they see the luxury car parked at the entrance of the castle, Ye Dongqing changed this impression again.
The old family has a strong foundation. Selling some good things in the past few days is enough for the family to continue to be prosperous. Thinking about the distant future, will there be pitiful people who need to sell their property to survive? This makes Ye Dongqing feel that he should buy some good things back and collect them as a family heirloom in case of accidents.
