Chapter 126

Speculators are essentially forecasters. They act on the basis of their own forecasts to make profits, and at the same time bear the risks brought about by mispredictions.

Also as a speculator, reason told Arthur, to understand what is called "close when you see good", rich people can rely on speculation, but long-term prosperity depends on investment.

For the first time in history, it was done by the great Pharaoh Joseph of Egypt. Joseph, the wise and insightful Pharaoh, drew the right conclusion from the dreams of seven good years and seven bad years. In good years, he hoards a large amount of grain, but in later poor harvest years he puts it on the market at a high price.

Of course, there are many famous figures in history who are also members of the speculative family. Newton, who discovered gravitation and was famous for ages, also tried to speculate in securities, but failed. Finally, Newton even banned others from trading securities in other places.

Voltaire talked to his girlfriend about securities and currencies for hours. He also speculated in grain and real estate, and later became more popular as a foreign exchange smuggler.

Under his portrait, the greatest economist of the century, Keynes, the British government wrote this passage: "Sir John menacaines, you can get wealth without working."

In 1932, with the legendary economic crisis in 1929, the Great Depression reached the bottom. At this time, Keynes invested a lot in American stocks, and the subsequent economic recovery made him a very rich man. Keynes is one of the few economists to make money on the stock exchange.

As long as human beings exist, there will be speculators and speculators, not only in the past, but also in the future. Therefore, speculators emerge as the times require, regardless of whether they have gambled, earned or lost, speculators will never disappear.

As a successful speculator, Arthur chose to take profits as soon as possible and put his bags down for safety, not because he was timid, afraid, more willing or poor, and his money was too little. In addition, his investment was still a kind of gambling. Although he knew he could win in the end, he could not win every one. Investment is a very risky thing. Once the money is invested, you can't help yourself.

Be the master of money, not work for it.

"Dong Dong --"

the rocker became straighter and straighter. As he walked, Paul, the housekeeper, pushed the door in and said with a smile to Arthur, who was trying to recall all the financial memories of his previous life, "the treasure Valuation Committee is here."

"Oh, they come fast enough. It's not like the efficiency of the British people. I thought they would drag on coming for a few days." Arthur was also a little surprised to raise eyebrows and smile.

The British are notoriously slow! There is a saying that good, Britain is the fastest rain and strike, the rest has to wait.

It's a common thing to queue up for four hours when you work in the UK. As long as your condition is not serious enough to threaten your life, it's normal to wait for several hours. If you don't have a little blood on your body, you are embarrassed to wait in line... It takes more than a week for express delivery, a week or two for bank cards, a phone call to make an appointment with a doctor and listen to phone music for an hour and a half. The British say it's normal. Don't make a fuss.

"How could it be? As soon as they heard the report, they were eager to come over yesterday. They were all eager to step forward and help their museums obtain the most important archaeological discoveries for the public interest." Paul, the housekeeper, said with a sarcastic sneer.

"Ha ha, I think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, I don't lack money now." Arthur stood up from the boss's chair, grinned and tidied his clothes. He said to Paul, "no one can take anything belonging to the Boleyn family. Let's go and meet our guests."

"All right, Lord, this way, please -" Paul reached for an invitation.

Three cars and ten people were sent by the treasure appraisal committee this time. It must be said that this kind of battle is indeed not small and quite surprising. However, the number of treasures excavated by Arthur was so amazing, 1350 pieces. When the treasure Valuation Committee got the news, they were all shocked. All the people stationed in the treasure Valuation Committee of the major museums were eager to join in, so as to contact the owner of the treasure in advance and brush their sense of existence.

"Hello, your honor, I am Michael Lewis, an archaeologist at the British Museum

"Hello, sir, this is James winter, Department of archaeology, University of Birmingham, UK... "

" your honor, I am the Southampton Museum... "

。。。。。。

A group of ten people warmly shook hands with Arthur and introduced themselves, as if they were worried that Arthur would not know their origin and reputation and despise them.

Arthur looked at the group of experts who looked at their own eyes and shook hands with them calmly and calmly. Then he said with a smile, "you are very welcome to come. I believe you know the specific situation very well. So, I won't repeat it here. Let's look at the cultural relics first. I know you can't wait. Here please --"

without drying them or cooperating with them, Arthur brought the people to the studio where the antiques and cultural relics were stored with a smile on his face. He mainly wanted to know that these things were dated and the origin, and at the same time asked the group of people to give them a general valuation.When ten experts came into the studio and saw all kinds of gold and silver ornaments on the long table, they could not help but sigh with excitement and surprise.

"My God, although I already know a lot of them, I still haven't prepared myself to see them!"

"Shocked, breathtaking, speechless, even more incredible than imagined.".

"It's probably the most important discovery I've ever seen, and this scale should definitely rank first in the UK

"God, what do I see? It's Anglo Saxon patterning!"

With the exclamation of one of the experts, all the experts seemed to have reached an agreement. One by one, they took out the magnifying glass, put on the white gloves, and each found a piece of cultural relic. They came forward and began to observe it carefully.

"I'm sorry, my dear count, they have been a little rude, but I hope you can understand that the treasure you have found is too attractive for them."

Arthur listened to the official of the treasure appraisal committee with a smile. He shook his head and said, "it's nothing. I can understand their feelings. However, I have to say that experts are experts. On the whole, they can only distinguish the age of these cultural relics. It's really admirable."

"The craftsmanship is so exquisite that it is absolutely the highest level of craftsmanship in the Anglo Saxon period..."

Just then, the Archaeology Department of Birmingham University, James winter, who called out the age, exclaimed again. He held a gold cross inlaid with garnet in his white gloved hand. His face was red with excitement.

"Yes, it's basically certain that things here go back to the 7th century. The number here is much larger than any other important Anglo Saxon treasure

"These items are related to war. You see, this helmet fragment with running animals carved on it, and this golden sword handle inlaid with ruby. These gold skins, which indicate that they may have been removed from weapons, but they have not been completely removed, which indicates that they were in a great hurry at that time

"Absolutely booty, probably from a king of Anglo Saxon times. The loss of these spoils means the downfall of the king. "

“。。。 It was mentioned in the famous epic Beowulf in the 8th century that the British Isles were disconnected from the rest of Europe due to frequent wars between the king and the nobles. Therefore, this period is also known as the "isolated period".

But judging from the discovery, Britain was not isolated from other areas as previously thought. The garnet on the cross probably came from Sri Lanka and other places, which shows that Britain also traded with distant countries at that time James winter of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Birmingham, with his eyes shining, shows all his colleagues the twisted gold cross in his hand, tracing the history like a treasure.

At this time, Arthur and Paul, the housekeeper, listened to the analysis conclusions of experts in the studio. They looked at each other and saw the brilliance in each other's eyes. They knew that they seemed to have dug up a pile of "gold and silver junk"!
