Chapter 428: So thoughtful!

Zhang Rong couldn't give an accurate answer to Jiang Xia's question, and only said, "I only know that the price of agarwood has been rising in the past two years, but I haven't paid much attention to how much it is selling for now. I'm planning to go to Hong Kong Island, and I'll ask then."

Jiang Xia also knew that the price of agarwood had been soaring since the 1980s, and the highest price seemed to be after the millennium.

But there was no way she could keep the wood for that long.

There is no place to save it, and it will not be saved.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, second brother."

Zhang Rong waved his hand: "What's the trouble? I just happened to be going to Hong Kong Island!"

Jiang Xia explained the agarwood's condition: "The agarwood has been soaked in seawater, and we don't know how long it has been soaked for."

Zhang Rong sniffed it again: "I see. It will definitely affect the price. The buyer will definitely test it, but I guess it won't be soaked for long. I smell this fragrance is clear and cool, elegant and pleasant, and there is no peculiar smell. And judging from the color, this agarwood should be of good age. There will be mud and sand if you pick it up on the beach, right? Try to wash it as clean as possible."

Jiang Xia: "It should be a hundred years old. My parents-in-law washed it very clean and dried it in the sun."

"Okay, send it over when you are free, and I will take it to someone to have a look."

Zhou Chenglei: "The wood is quite big, about 300 kilograms."

Zhang Rong: “…”

Change career!

Must change career!

Who can resist the temptation of picking up a big treasure every other day?

If you pick up one thing, you will have to work ten years less. If you pick up more things, you can retire directly.

Zhou Chenglei: "Take this small piece and help me check the quality."

If the quality is good and the price can still go up, you might as well keep it for a year or two before selling it.

If the quality is not good, there is no need to bother with it. It will be almost the same to just sell it here.

It also costs shipping money to ship it there, and there’s no point in going back and forth.

Zhang Rong also understood this logic: "Okay, I'll ask an expert. If the quality is good, I'll send it directly to you via regular channels. I'll call you and you can ship it to the city dock. Otherwise, it will cost more to send a ship to pick up the goods."

"OK."

Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia both expressed their gratitude, and the couple chatted with Zhang Rong for a while. They learned that he was going to Hong Kong Island to attend an auction, and that the jade bracelets, jade pendants and bracelets made from their full green jade stone would all be auctioned.

So if the quality of the agarwood is good, he can take it to Hong Kong and find someone to buy it there.

After chatting for a while, when it was almost noon, Zhou Chenglei asked him to go out for lunch.

Zhang Rong had something to do in the afternoon, and seeing that the couple had so many children with them, he refused.

They can eat at any time; their friendship doesn't depend on this meal.

After the couple left, they took their children to eat, then went back to the mall to buy some wine and gifts, and finally went to the shipyard staff housing to take a look at the suite they had purchased.

The house had already been handed over, and when they came for the first time, they got the keys from the doorman.

The house is simply decorated, with water and electricity installed, and the walls painted white, half of which are painted green. The floor is made of the newly popular rice washing stone, which is also mainly green rice washing stone. The windows are iron frame windows.

This is because the shipyard has good profits this year. Considering the busy work of the employees, we also unified and simply renovated the shipyard. This is a benefit for the employees that other units do not have.

If you think the uniform decoration is too simple, people with money and time can redecorate the house before moving in.

If you don't have time or money, you can just move your furniture in.

Now several families can’t wait to move in.

Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia: "Should we redecorate it?"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "Don't bother, just buy some furniture. It looks pretty fresh now."

The main thing is that they were given an apartment with the best lighting. Director Zhou and Director Xu live downstairs from them, so they know how good this apartment is.

The only drawback is that it is a bit high, on the sixth floor, and it is a bit tiring to climb up, and it is also the top floor.

What Jiang Xia likes most is that the rooftop is divided into public and private use.

One is a public rooftop, and the other is a private rooftop exclusive to the residents on the top floor of their apartment. They are separated by a low wall and entered through a door from the stairwell.

So they can use the rooftop however they want, grow vegetables or flowers. The ponds for growing vegetables and flowers have been built, and the flower stands have also been set up.

This suite was originally requested by Director Xu. Director Xu's mother came to see it once and found that she couldn't climb up! Before the house was allocated, she didn't know how tiring it was to climb to the sixth floor. Only after climbing did she realize it.

Regret! The old lady has to go up and down the stairs every day to buy groceries and cook, and to pick up and drop off the children from school. She has to walk up and down the stairs at least four times a day! So the old lady is not happy. Are you trying to tire her to death by climbing so high? As a last resort, Director Xu moved to the second floor to make it more convenient for her.

Many families in the shipyard have elderly people at home doing housework and taking care of children, so houses on the ground floor are more popular.

This house in Jiangxia faces southeast and has three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and two balconies, one in the kitchen and one on the master bedroom side.

On the sixth floor, you can see the distant scenery and it is close to the city center. The people in the community are all employees of the shipyard, and their overall quality should be better. After all, the factory’s top leaders all live here.

Just like the community where Jiang's father and mother live, it is particularly clean.

The bicycles are parked very neatly, and no one will steal them even if you forget to lock them.

The stairs were spotless, and I don't know who cleaned them.

Zhou Chenglei is fine with any kind of house. He doesn't care about the decoration of the house, as long as it can keep out the wind and rain and is clean and tidy. But he hopes that Jiang Xia and the children will live comfortably. "I'll measure the dimensions and see how big a sofa to buy."

Jiang Xia was going to give birth in the city, so the furniture had to be bought in advance and it had to be comfortable.

The housewarming ceremony will be held on the day of the Little New Year's Eve. It's almost time, only about ten days left.

"Okay." Jiang Xia looked around the living room, thinking about how to decorate it.

The living room here is much smaller than at home, so we can’t buy a sofa that is too big.

And there was no dining room, so I could only buy a coffee table as a dining table.

Buy a foldable round table to make it convenient for dining when there are many people at home.

The room is not as big as the one in the village house, so just buy a simple solid wooden bed.

Zhou Chenglei got a rough idea of ​​the size of the entire house and told the children to leave.

The children were so happy that they ran around the house.

Zhou Jie: "My little nephew, you are amazing. You bought a tall building in the city!"

This is the tallest house he has ever seen, and it can be seen so far away!

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "If you study hard, you can come to the city and buy a house in the future."

Zhou Jie is still undecided. His grandmother told him that his test result was the last in the class.

Zhou Wenzu: "I will study hard and buy a house next to my aunt's in the future!"

Otherwise, if my uncle and aunt move to the city, I won't see them anymore! Zhou Jie thought Zhou Wenzu was stupid: "When I grow up, I don't need to study or go fishing, but I can still buy a high-rise building."

Zhou Wenzu asked curiously, "How do you buy it?"

Jiang Xia also looked at him curiously.

Zhou Jie: "I want to marry my nephew's wife! Then I'll have everything! Just like my nephew!"

We have a car, a big boat, and a new house! Grandma said that my niece-in-law brings good luck to her husband! Jiang Xia: “…”

Zhou Chenglei: “…”

Oh, you really are good at thinking!
