Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 353 A Worthless House

"Brother Chen, forget it, 50 is 50!"

Yang Haoxuan immediately declined.

He didn't want to owe the other party any more favors. After all, money debts are easy to repay, but favor debts are hard to repay.

Perhaps because of Chen Chuan's face, the stall owner reluctantly backed down a step: "Well, little brother, if you really want to buy the Congressional Gold Medal, then this set of Medal of Honor will be considered as a gift, and I will give it to you for free. "

"thank you boss!"

Yang Haoxuan quickly agreed.

Seeing that the deal had been reached, Chen Chuan stopped persuading him. Of course, he still paid the money for the medal in advance.

After leaving the medal booth, the group came to a jewelry booth. Yang Haoxuan wanted to pick out some gifts for his mother and sister by the way.

"Boss, are these jewels authentic?"

"If you fake it, you will pay ten."

The stall owner replied coldly.

Yang Haoxuan found out that the stall owners here were all very attractive, with a very poor sense of service. He picked out a beautiful gemstone bracelet and asked:

"How much is the bracelet?"

"This is a colored sapphire bracelet. It's worthless. You can give me [-], and I'll give you another purple one."

The stall owner picked up another bracelet and handed it over.

Yang Haoxuan took the bracelet and looked at it. The stall owner has a good eye, and this one is obviously more beautiful:

"Boss, why are these two bracelets so cheap? Can't they be fake?"

He had bought jewelry for his girlfriend before. Generally speaking, the market price of high-quality gemstones with uniform color like this one in his hand was around [-].

If this is placed before the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, two or three million may not be able to win.

"This is the price right now. If it's real, it can't be fake, and if it's fake, it can't be real. If you don't believe me, find someone to appraise it yourself. As I just said, you will pay ten for the fake one."

The stall owner didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Chen Chuan helped to explain: "Brother Yang, you don't know something. The price of gemstones has dropped a bit in recent years. If you want to invest, I suggest you better not touch gemstones. No one knows where the bottom is. .”

"It's so miserable? Why didn't gold fall? Instead, it hit new highs repeatedly?" Yang Haoxuan expressed his puzzlement.

"Gold has a clear price tag, and ordinary people like to use it to hedge against currency depreciation, so it is sought after. Gemstones are different. The water here is too deep, and ordinary people don't have the ability to distinguish."

Chen Chuan explained patiently.

The stall owner immediately added: "In addition, gold has industrial uses. It is said that the demand is very high. Several big banks have been openly buying gold all year round."

"So that's it." Yang Haoxuan nodded, and then handed the two bracelets in front of the other party: "Brother Chen, help me see, is it true?"

Chen Chuan took a brief look, then nodded:

"It should be true, this Boss Sun... I've heard of it, and he's considered an old man in the industry. He won't make fun of his reputation."

"Okay, I want these two bracelets."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Haoxuan picked out several other jewelry items. He deliberately avoided gold jewelry, and finally pooled a total of 5 yuan.

As for why not choose gold?
The reason is simple. On the one hand, gold is too vulgar, and there are no shiny gemstones to please; on the other hand, my brother-in-law has a ten-ton gold Buddha statue decoration, and he has long been desensitized to this stuff.

After buying jewelry, the group visited more than a dozen stalls one after another. Some sold second-hand home appliances and furniture, some sold antiques, some sold warm coats, and most of them sold various daily necessities.

However, there is a very special one that actually sells books.

According to the stall owner, they directly emptied the library in a small city, and sold all the books by the catty, at three yuan per catty, which was only a little higher than selling waste paper.

Yang Haoxuan picked more than a dozen historical works, as well as some novels. In the end, he only spent less than 200 yuan, which is really worth the money.

……

After going around for noon, at Chen Chuan's kind invitation, Yang Haoxuan followed him to Weiyuan Security Company, and was going to have a light meal in the company cafeteria.

Then, in the afternoon, go directly to the shooting range to shoot targets.

After passing through the gate, Chen Chuan pointed to a large villa in front of him, and introduced casually: "This is our company headquarters, and it is also our residence. Most of the company's employees live here."

"Wow, Brother Chen, this place is so big! Your company is really rich!"

Yang Haoxuan couldn't help being amazed.

This big manor is not smaller than the brother-in-law's house at all, and in terms of construction area, it is eighteen blocks away from the small villa of the brother-in-law's house.

Chen Chuan smiled and waved his hands: "Brother Yang, you misunderstood, the houses here are not worth much, as long as they are vacant, you can pick them at will, if you like them, just go to the city government to register, and all the procedures are free. "

Yang Haoxuan patted his head immediately:

"Look at my brain, I think this place is Huicheng. It's hard to find a house in Huicheng now, and the average price is almost breaking through [-] to [-]. It's a bit scary."

Chen Chuan followed suit and said: "I went back to Wencheng to visit relatives a few years ago, and I was shocked by the local housing prices. You said that everyone can't get enough to eat now. Where can I get the spare money to buy a house?"

"It's better in the north, but the south is really expensive, especially in the coastal cities. Even my current salary can't afford it." Yang Haoxuan shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Yang, taking advantage of the lack of popularity, do you want to build a house here? I can help to look after it, and you can come to travel when you are free."

Chen Chuan casually suggested.

Yang Haoxuan was a little moved immediately: "Brother Chen, is there a big manor like your company in the urban area?"

"Yes, but I don't think it's necessary."

"How to say?"

"Generally large manors are located in the suburbs, and safety is a big problem. Our company has a large number of people, and we are doing security work, so we are not afraid of danger.

In addition, you just came along and saw that the houses here are generally severely damaged due to the earthquake and volcanic ash and need to be rebuilt.

Brother Yang, you can guess the maintenance cost here, let me tell you first, it is eight figures. "

Yang Haoxuan cooperated and said, "2000 million?"

Chen Chuan shook his head and didn't hold back anymore: "It's 9000 million, and it doesn't include labor costs. We actually repaired this villa by ourselves."

"So expensive?"

"No way, the conditions are limited, and everything is missing."

Chen Chuan couldn't help sighing.

Yang Haoxuan nodded when he heard the words, thoughtfully.

Chen Chuan paused, and continued: "I suggest you choose a house near Golden Gate Park, and I will take care of the maintenance. That area is where the city government is located, and it is also the de facto city center. The security environment has always been the best. "

"Forget it. The next time I come here, I guess it will be the year of the monkey. Why not just stay in a hotel? At least it will save you worry and effort."

Yang Haoxuan quickly lost interest.

Chen Chuan didn't try to persuade him anymore. He just mentioned it casually. After all, the other party was born well, so he didn't need to come here to fight, and he didn't need a house.

Chatting and chatting, the car stopped at the gate of the villa.

After getting off the car, Chen Chuan immediately took the four of them straight to the cafeteria, and then introduced Yang Haoxuan to the employees of the company, and everyone extended a warm welcome to the visitors.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Chuan welcomed Yang Haoxuan into the private room. Due to the preparations made in advance, the food was served shortly after the group sat down.

Generally speaking, the food is not bad, with both meat and vegetables, much better than the government canteen.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
