Chapter 222 The Underworld Sword Factory

Under the guidance of Zheng Le's phone call, Chen Ran drove to the Baojian Factory located near Dale Mountain in the suburb of Tianzhong City, and Zheng Le was already waiting here. When he saw the off-road vehicle approaching, he hung up the phone and ran all the way He greeted him, as if he had been waiting in a hurry.

Chen Ran parked his off-road vehicle at the gate on one side. When he got out of the car, he saw a tall wooden archway gate with the words "Huangquan Sword Factory" written on the banner. Bamboo rafts were also used on both sides of the wooden gate. The fence that was erected, not to mention the situation inside the sword factory, but judging from the gate in front of him, Zheng Le's Huangquan sword factory is quite similar, and the environment near this sword factory is also good.

In addition to being located at the foot of the back mountain of Dale Mountain, there are also scenic spots in the vicinity. It can be said that there are mountains and waters. There is Jingquan Temple in the east, Hama Spring in the southeast, and Luotuo Temple and Luotuo Temple Mountain in the southwest. ... It is obvious that a lot of thought was put into choosing this place for the Sword Factory.

"Brother Chen, what about my sword factory? It's you too. If it was someone else, I really didn't plan to make a move. When I built this sword factory, I also saved my breath and prepared to do a big job. , but because of the opposition from my family, I can only stop it. Hey, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I have to fly to the capital in a hurry. This is the key to the sword factory, so I won’t accompany you to see it , you go in and have a look by yourself, if you are satisfied, just call me and tell me, I will have someone transfer the workshop to you directly, if you are not satisfied, the key will be deposited with you first, and I will return it when I come back Give it to me, that's all for now, see you later!"

Zheng Le seemed to be in a hurry, and after only a few words, he took out a bunch of keys from his bag and stuffed them to Chen Ran.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ran was quite embarrassed, knowing that he was a bit late in arriving just now and delayed Zheng Le's time, seeing that Zheng Le seemed to be coming by taxi, he quickly asked Zheng Le if he wanted to drive him he.

Zheng Le waved his hand and did not ask Chen Ran to drive him. He just took a taxi here, and now the taxi is still waiting beside him.Seeing him waving his hand, the taxi drove over.Zheng Le and Chen Ran waved their hands, got into the taxi, and hurried to the airport.

After the taxi disappeared from sight, Chen Ran turned around and looked at the Baojian Factory in front of him carefully, thinking that no wonder Zheng Le was reluctant to transfer this Baojian Factory. Zhu Feng.

When eating together yesterday afternoon, when Zhu Feng talked about how Chen Ran and Zheng Le knew each other, Chen Ran didn't tell the story of the sword factory, but said that he met through other friends, but Zheng Le didn't know that he drank too much. It was a slip of the tongue, and he told about Chen Ran's desire to buy his sword factory. After hearing this, Zhu Feng naturally helped Chen Ran with a lot of words, and said that Chen Ran was his good buddy. Don't give Chen Ran face, just don't give him face.

Originally, Chen Ran didn't take what was said at the dinner table yesterday seriously, after all, what was said at the wine market could not be taken seriously, but unexpectedly, Zheng Le called him early this morning and told him to come quickly and see the sword factory.

Although Chen Ran rushed over immediately, but because he was not familiar with the urban area, it took more than half an hour to 'touch' it, which delayed Zheng Le's time.

With the key in his hand, Chen Ran didn't look outside too much. He found the biggest one from a bunch of keys, unlocked the big lock on the carved wooden door, and walked in.

The first thing that catches the eye is a small courtyard. In the small courtyard is a connected pool. There is a stone bridge in the middle. There are also pools on both sides of the stone bridge. On the left side of the small courtyard is a flower pond with some roses planted in it.

Against the wall on the right side is a grape trellis. Under the grape trellis is a stone table, which is obviously used as a small pavilion. At the root of the bamboo raft wall on both sides, there is a row of green bamboos. The environment of the small courtyard is also beautiful. It's elegant and chic.

Right in front of the small courtyard is a forging room connected to each other. After entering the sword workshop, Chen Ran discovered that the space of this sword workshop is really not small, especially there is a small door at the right corner of the small courtyard. , He went in and took a look. After entering this small door, there was a smaller courtyard. This small courtyard was obviously the place where the metallurgist lived.

The ancient sword workshop is different from other workshops. Other workshops are equipped with modern equipment, while the regular ancient sword workshops are all equipped with ancient sword forging equipment. Of course, it is like the kind that directly forges a piece of iron into an ancient sword. Workshops are naturally excluded. The ancient swords made by such workshops cannot be called ancient swords and swords. They can only be called a piece of iron. In the market, that kind of swords are also the lowest-end and can only be used as children's toys. Or lie to some laymen, collectors who really want to collect a sword will not collect that kind of sword.

Both the smelting furnace and the blower are ancient and old-fashioned. Although they are far from the metallurgical equipment in Kunwu, they are the same in terms of usage and principle.

After visiting the entire sword workshop, Chen Ran is still very satisfied. What worries him now is whether he can buy this sword workshop with his current wealth. Although the equipment in the sword workshop is not very valuable, it is still worth a little. , and renting this piece of land and building such a workshop will undoubtedly require money. If there is no relationship with this piece of land, it may not be so easy to rent it out. Apart from these, Baojian Factory itself undoubtedly has some value of.

After leaving the sword workshop, Chen Ran parked the car in front of a bank and checked the funds he had now, [-] million!

700?

Can 700 million buy this sword workshop... Chen Ran shook his head himself. Although the equipment is worthless, it is still worth 300 million. Needless to say, the rest, 700 million is undoubtedly a bit up in the air.

Although Chen Ran didn't ask Chen Ping about the money his family invested in the restaurant, he probably spent almost all of it. No way... As for the 300 million invested in Guo Hai Bathing Center, it's even worse. If he embezzles the money here, he will definitely stop working there.

Zheng Le will probably be on the plane, and Chen Ran is not in a hurry to call him, so he just took advantage of this time and ran to the antique city of Huakang Market, hoping to find the leak and ease the financial crisis.

It's just that hope is good, but the reality is cruel. He ran all over the antique city, but he didn't find anything.

Chen Ran, who came out of the antique city, had unspeakable regrets. He found that compared with the older generation of collectors in the antique world, he was still inferior. What was worse was not his eyesight, but his good news.

Antique professionals like Bai Lao and the others met people from all walks of life, and their sources of information were undoubtedly well-informed. Whenever there was a black market or good things, they would be notified immediately.

The antiques scattered among the people are almost wiped out by those antique dealers. If you want to receive antiques, you can only receive them in the underground black market. After all, those who organize the underground black market have connections with tomb robbers. Well, the goods in their hands are not only counterfeit, they are also collected from the tomb robbers, or they help the tomb robbers to transfer those unclean things out, and they charge a handling fee.

In this regard, except for the organizer Mouse who followed Yan Ruyu to participate in the underground black market for the first time, Chen Ran didn't know anyone else, and the business card that Mouse gave him hadn't been lost for a long time. Where did it go.

Shaking his head, Chen Ran returned to the antique city.

This time, he didn't come here by picking up a leak, but deliberately met a few followers who were wandering around the antique city. They are also the most well-informed, and they have connections with some people who organize the underground black market. , Although these followers can't provide him with information now, they can be considered as plans for the future.

It seems that in the future, every time I go to an antique city, I can't just pick up the leaks, but also get to know more people like this. It's not without reason that people like them exist.

Coming out of the antique city again, Chen Ran sat in the off-road vehicle and called Zheng Le. The phone was connected, and Zheng Le had already arrived in the capital. acquired.

Not long after Zheng Le arrived in the capital, he had other things, and he didn't tell Chen Ran much. He just said that some time ago someone offered more than 1000 million yuan, but he didn't transfer it. Now, for the sake of Zhu Feng and Chen Ran, he wants a land rent. Forget the transfer fee and equipment fee, let's not talk about the rest, it's half sold and half given to Chen Ran.

The price is 800 thousand.

This price is definitely not high, and Chen Ran also knew that Zheng Le's words were true, so he agreed without hesitation.Zheng Le also said that he would not go back in a short time, and he would ask someone to contact Chen Ran. Chen Ran agreed and hung up the phone.

800 million!

There is still a fund gap of 100 million.

As soon as he hung up the phone, the phone rang again suddenly, and the caller was a man surnamed Hou. This man was the one Zheng Le told someone to contact Chen Ran. The other party told Chen Ran that he could call at any time. contact him.

Chen Ran agreed, and hung up the phone. He naturally thought the sooner the better, but now he still has a balance of 100 million yuan.

For the 100 million, besides picking up the leaks, he can only carve jade, but when it comes to carving jade, Chen Ran suddenly remembered something, and quickly took out his mobile phone to call.
