Chapter 18: Courtyard
so what?
After hearing Chen Hui's answer, Chen Jing felt speechless. She was kind enough to give her a way out, but she refused to back down. She rolled her eyes unabashedly and said, "If you like jadeite, you can take a look at the small pieces over there. They are all priced in the tens of thousands."
"What I want is this bracelet, not the small item you mentioned that costs tens of thousands of dollars. Did I not express myself clearly, or do you have some hidden illness?"
"How can you talk like that! The girl is young but has a bad temper."
"How did I speak? Is there something wrong with my words? How do you serve me? What's going on? You are selling jadeite, which can be considered a valuable commodity, but are you valuable?"
"What the girl said is too rude. Imperial green is the green with the best color and the highest value among all jades, also known as 'emerald green', the most noble of all jades. Little girl, don't be fooled by the fact that this egg-shaped jade is only the size of a thumb, but it is a deep-colored old pit glass-type jade. It is no exaggeration to say that such a small egg-shaped jade can be exchanged for several houses in Beijing with some extra. The one-carat diamonds dotted around this bracelet and these broken diamonds are just extras. Young people are too sexualized, and Xiao Chen is also a straightforward person with good intentions."
Chen Hui was in an even worse mood because of the greasy middle-aged man who suddenly showed up to act as a 'peacemaker'.
Did you not check the almanac before going out today?
Things are not going well with Asahi Trade, even buying something is not going smoothly.
I took one look at the bracelet that I had liked a few moments ago, and suddenly I no longer liked it.
Chen Hui didn't want to take out her black gold card to buy the bracelet and give money to the store to embarrass herself.
Is face valuable these days? Giving money to someone when you're angry with them is not a slap in the face, it's stupidity.
Opposite Cuiyuxuan is Zhenbao Pavilion, which is also one of the high-consumption places near Xumao that Chen Hui found.
Seeing Chen Hui turned around and left, Chen Jing's face was full of sarcasm.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much just now. Alas, I don't know what our boss was thinking when he opened a store in Jinggongfang. The tourists who come here don't know anything about jade. I think it would be better to change it to a 'Pi Xiu store'. The two 'Pi Xiu stores' in front only serve tourists. I dare not imagine the profits they make in a day. The Pi Xiu that costs a few or tens of dollars is praised by those shopping guides and tour guides as being worth tens of thousands."
"Young people nowadays don't know anything about jade or jadeite. They have never seen the world and have bad tempers. By the way, Xiao Chen, how is the Wu Shi Pai that I asked you to keep an eye out for last time?"
"Don't worry, I will pick it for you personally when I get back from the auction."
"Hey, isn't that Boss Sun? Is there some distinguished guest coming who requires Boss Sun to come in person?"
Chen Jing also looked curiously at the Treasure Pavilion opposite.
At this time, Sun Zhiquan in the Treasure Pavilion was introducing the inlaid bracelet in front of him to Shen Hui with a friendly face. "To be honest, Miss Shen, this inlaid bracelet was broken into three pieces when it was unpacked. I also tried my best to get this one of the pieces. I also took the ingenuity to find a master craftsman to make this beauty bracelet with diamonds and platinum. If there had been no accidents at the beginning, this complete glass-type imperial green beauty bracelet would definitely not be available without several hundred million."
Speaking of this, Sun Zhiquan shook his head with regret.
High-quality jade is hard to come by, let alone the imperial green of old mine glass type.
It's just a pity.
"Miss Shen, this beauty bracelet has caught your eye, so I'll tell you a realistic price, this amount."
Sun Zhiquan raised his fingers and made a nine, then a five, and said, "Imperial Green is the best of all jadeite. The price of 95 million also symbolizes the emperor's supreme power. What do you think?"
Chen Hui doesn't understand jade but she knows that jade has always been valued for its green color, and imperial green jade has an unshakable status. Extremely rare, pure green jadeite is the finest color among jadeites.
This rare imperial green, as its name suggests, is as noble and rare as an emperor.
Today's mission amount is 50 million, and the price of 95 million means that I have to pay 65 million out of my own pocket.
Although I was still lamenting yesterday when I looked at the balance in my bank card, money is just a number.
But when I really use it, I still feel a little bit sad.
"I like it, Boss Sun, I want this beauty bracelet."
This broken bracelet was brought back from Yunnan more than ten years ago. The mask was not sold out for three years, and it was only made into a beauty bracelet this year. I originally wanted to keep it in the store first. We can’t call it “Treasure Pavilion” if there are only a few high-quality items.
By the end of the year, when I go to the auction in Hong Kong, it could sell for at least tens of millions.
I didn't expect to meet the right person in the store. Now that the deal is done, I can take a few years off and teach my son at home.
Chen Jing looked in disbelief as Boss Sun from the Treasure Pavilion opposite personally escorted Chen Hui, who had just been 'driven out' by her.
My heart skipped a beat, wondering if I had really met a distinguished guest.
Mr. Li, who was chatting with Chen Jing at the side, was also nervous at this time. After Chen Hui walked away, he greeted Sun Zhiquan with a flattering face, "Boss Sun, it seems that you are very happy. Congratulations on your prosperity."
Boss Sun also responded with a smile, "Thank you for your good words."
"Is that little girl here with you?"
This question was a bit inappropriate. Sun Zhiquan put away the smile on his face and glanced at Chen Jing from Cuiyuxuan. He had heard of this person a little bit. Mr. Su from Cuiyuxuan was brought here by a woman outside. Judging from the situation, she must have missed the distinguished guest because of lack of eyesight.
If he wanted to make friends with Shen Hui, he would naturally be willing to vent her anger. "It's the imperial green that I bought a few years ago. It was only made this year and I met the right person. Miss Shen was generous and took it away for 95 million without paying the price."
I heard the answer I least wanted to hear.
I have accidentally offended someone I shouldn't have offended.
Chen Jing felt even more regretful!
The bracelet she had just picked out was priced at 28 million. If she placed an order, her commission would be nearly one million! You can save up enough for a down payment in a good location in City B! The more I think about it, the more upset I feel.
Of course, Chen Hui didn't know this and didn't care.
[Congratulations to the host for completing today's task and successfully spending 95 million Chinese Yuan. A tenfold rebate has been received, and a random reward of a Shichahai courtyard house and 500 reward points. ]
[Huaxia Bank] Your card with the last digit of your card number is 9055 and you have received RMB 500,000,000 through Super Online Banking transfer. The current balance is RMB 2566632926.23. The last digit of the other party’s account is 8888. The other party’s account name: Chen Hui.
Xiao Ba is a little "autistic" at this time! As a super-rich system, it actually made its host pay 65 million out of his own pocket to complete the task!
It is a great shame for the whole life!
Today is the fifth day, and there are still five days left to complete the novice adaptation period.
Woohoo, time please pass quickly.
The system is really too difficult.
A courtyard house! The courtyard house in the capital! Still in Shichahai!
Everyone knows this kind of house, no! It should be said that the house is not a question of money, but a question of whether there is a price but no demand.
Well-preserved courtyard houses in City B are now rare, let alone a courtyard with three roads and five entrances, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, second only to the royal palace, and worth 2.5 billion. Suddenly I felt that Runze Imperial Garden was no longer fragrant.
I have been working in City B with Yingying for more than two years, but I haven't had the chance to travel around this big city.
Chen Hui took a look at the CHANEL sheepskin high heels on her feet, then casually walked into a roadside shop and bought a pair of old Beijing cloth shoes.
It’s not that I feel bad about the sheepskin soles without a backing, but the main purpose is to make them comfortable.
Just after changing her shoes, Shen Hui's cell phone rang.
"Hello, are you Ms. Shen? I am Chen Siyao from Huazhong Real Estate. The formalities for your courtyard house at No. 88 Shishahai have been completed. When are you free? I'll send it to you."
Shichahai is not far from Jinggongfang. "I'm nearby. It will take about half an hour to get there. Is it convenient for you?"
“Of course it’s convenient, I’ll see you later, Ms. Shen.”
Chen Siyao breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. The property being handed over was worth 2.5 billion! The house with three corridors and five entrances is still well preserved and has a price but no market for it. To be honest, for a "small office worker" like me, it's a bit nervous to contact such a rich man. Especially the owner’s information, he is only 26 years old! When I was 26, I had just graduated from college, and now I see others already owning billions of real estate.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
I feel like I came to this world just to make up the numbers.
Chen Hui looked at the quadrangle courtyard in front of her, which was symmetrically arranged along the central axis and formed three roads and five entrances. It was magnificent, with flying eaves, green tiles, and carved beams and painted pillars everywhere.
"Ms. Shen, this quadrangle was renovated strictly according to the regulations of the Prince's Mansion in the Qing Dynasty. The east and west roads each have two sets of three-courtyards, and the middle road has a set of five-courtyards. The total area is nearly 3,000 square meters, and the total construction area is more than 10,000 square meters."
Chen Siyao introduced Shen Hui a little nervously, saying that this place was where the royal family and dignitaries lived in ancient times, and it is still a place that cannot be bought even with money. To own the property rights here, the young Miss Shen in front of her is undoubtedly rich or noble, and is definitely a real daughter of a wealthy family. If I did anything to displease her, I'm afraid just one look from her would make me unable to survive in City B.
"Xiao Ba, I love it so much!" The more Chen Hui looked at it, the more she liked it, and she wanted to move in immediately.
[These are all basic operations, host please stay calm. Xiao Ba was a little proud. This was nothing. It was just a drop in the bucket for the Super Rich System.
This is all basic operation!
But it is true that when I think about the property rights of Asahi Mao, it is true that if we only talk about value, the courtyard house in front of us cannot compare with Asahi Mao.
Find professionals for professional matters.
I know that Huazhong Real Estate, where Chen Siyao works, specializes in courtyard house properties, which also includes renovation work. Although the courtyard in front of her was already very perfect, it was naturally uninhabitable without furniture. After Chen Hui put forward her own requirements, she entrusted the subsequent decoration and modifications to Chen Siyao.
This is a big order! In particular, Miss Shen required that the furniture must be of Chinese style, and the material must be the best huanghuali. Thinking about the commission she would get, Chen Siyao was even more ecstatic.
