Jin Yutong

Seeing Wu Laosan's complexion was not good, Xiaoyu asked him what was wrong, but he refused to say more, just waved his hands and said it was all right, but put away his expression.

Both Chen Ran and Xiaoyu were a little strange, but he couldn't say anything without telling them, so he could only drag him to look at the house together.

Wu Laosan didn't drive his own car, and got into Chen Ran's car directly.

When the Mercedes-Benz drove into the alley, it saw a patchwork of courtyards standing upright, but most of these peripheral courtyards were converted into hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, clubs and some special shops, etc., until wearing These things disappeared after passing through the metal gate with the security booth.

And when you get here, you have entered the folk custom protection area of ​​the capital.

There are alleys and alleys everywhere here, with blue bricks and yellow tiles, the horse-mounted stone at the entrance of the house, and the bright green moss in the cracks in the alleys, revealing a feeling of vicissitudes of time everywhere, but it also looks full of the charm of the capital.

At the security office, Chen Ran asked about the direction of his courtyard, so after entering the protected area, he drove into an alley in the direction directed by the guard.

Entering here is a non-tourist area. Obviously, those who can live here are either rich or expensive.

The courtyard house given to Chen Ran by the second child is not the largest set here, but no matter how big it is, it belongs to the state. Although many of them are lent to others for use, the property still belongs to the state.

And Chen Ran's courtyard house had his name on the real estate certificate when the second child gave it to him. As for this courtyard house, there seems to be a story about how the second family got it.

……

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the gifts my brothers gave him.

First of all, He Zhenhua gave him a set of villas in the Dianshan Lake villa area. As the eldest brother of several people, He Zhenhua's actions were naturally extraordinary.

This villa only covers an area of ​​more than 5000 square meters. Obviously, this can no longer be called a villa, it should be called a manor.

His villa in Tianzhong City is big enough, but not half the size of this villa, and the difference in housing prices between the two places goes without saying.

Although Chen Ran didn't know how much the house price of this Dianshan Lake villa was, he could guess that the house price here was absolutely sky-high after looking at the environment and the renderings of the house.

And such a set of villas that can almost be regarded as a manor will cost at least [-] million yuan.

Then there is the courtyard house given to him by the second child. This courtyard house is not the largest among the courtyard houses in the capital, but it is definitely not small, covering an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters.

Chen Ran doesn't know much about courtyard houses in Beijing, but he also knows that the real courtyard houses in Beijing can't be bought now even if they want to. Even the smallest one of [-] square meters is almost tens of millions.

Then this set of more than 1000 square meters must be tens of millions, the key is that you can't buy it if you want to.

Then there was the yacht given by Rong Mingyang, the third child, and the private jet given by the seventh child. Chen Ran didn't know much about the prices of these two, but he knew that those who could afford them were well-known rich men.

Even the same yachts and private jets cost tens of millions, but how could the third and seventh give him just the same.

Then came the fifth and sixth sons, each of whom gave a set of calligraphy and painting and the other a vase.

If you think that the gift from the two of them is of low value, then you are obviously wrong.

First of all, the calligraphy and painting given by the fifth child is a pair of "Fishing Boat in Liutang" by Qiu Ying. Few people may have heard of this painting, even Qiu Ying, who is outside the author's circle, doesn't know much about it, but anyone in the circle knows nothing about it. People don't know.

Qiu Ying is one of the representative painters of the Ming Dynasty. Together with Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, they are called "Four Masters of Ming Dynasty", "Four Masters of Wu School", and "Four Masters of Tianmen".

Qiu Ying is the leading figure of the Wumen School of Painting in the middle of the Ming Dynasty in China. At present, there are no more than 50 reliable works of Qiu Ying in the collection of domestic museums, and the works of scattered folk are even rarer. As a result, all authentic works handed down are invaluable.

For example, Beijing Hanhai held a spring auction at Beijing Kerry Center Hotel in 2010. Qiu Ying's "Floating Mountains and Warm Greens" was sold for 7280 million yuan.

As a treasure of Qiu Yingqing's green landscape, it has been circulated in an orderly manner and clearly described. It was collected from overseas and brought back to China. Once it appeared, it attracted the attention of the Tibetan community.

At the auction site, Qiu Ying's "Floating Mountains and Warm Greens" started at 2500 million yuan, and quickly rose to 5000 million yuan after several rounds of high price increases. At this time, the competition was mainly concentrated on two or three collectors in the venue. The bids were tight and not giving in to each other, and the eyes of the audience also moved back and forth following the collectors' placards. Finally, after dozens of rounds of bidding, Qiu Ying's "Floating Mountains and Warm Greens" settled at 7280 million yuan.

In addition, at the Hong Kong Changfeng 2009 Spring Auction, the transaction price of Qiu Ying's "Wen Ji Returning to the Han Scroll" was 1 million.This work was previously collected by Mr. Wang Jiqian, a famous collector in the United States, and it is a rare masterpiece among the works of Qiu Ying collected by the people today.After fierce bidding, it was finally acquired by a powerful collector in Hong Kong.

The "Red Cliff Picture" exhibited by China Guardian in 2007 is even called a national treasure. The estimate before the auction was only 1000 million yuan, but someone bid 5000 million yuan before the auction started. In the end, the painting was sold by a mysterious buyer for nearly 8000 million yuan. auction price.

According to industry insiders, if Qiu Ying's "Red Cliff Picture" volume is put up for auction again now, the valuation will exceed 10 billion yuan, and the final transaction price may reach 15 billion yuan.

This shows how valuable Qiu Ying's authentic works are.

The vase given to Chen Ran by the sixth child is a piece of Ru porcelain. Needless to say the value of Ru porcelain, Chen Ran still has a few pieces of Ru porcelain in his collection.

China has been famous for its ceramic craftsmanship since ancient times. The original meaning of English is porcelain, so foreign countries, even the whole world, understand China as porcelain, and my country's porcelain is headed by Ru porcelain in the Song Dynasty, and Ruguan porcelain. In the short period of 20 years, because it is an imperial product, it cannot be spread among the people, and because agate is used as the glaze color, and because it is colorful and bright like stars under a specific light, it is considered to be too masculine. I dare not use it to be buried with it, so there are very few ancient tombs excavated, which makes it a rare treasure.

Up to now, there are less than [-] pieces of Ru porcelain in the world, and even a piece of it can be worth an unimaginable large sum of wealth. !"

The calligraphy and painting given by the fifth child and the vase given by the sixth child have not been auctioned, so it is difficult to estimate, but if you imagine it, you will know that if it goes through an auction, it will definitely fetch a sky-high price, and the price of such a precious object is second, the key It is hard to come by.

In the past, due to various reasons, these things were lost to the people, and then many people took them out for auction, and most of the buyers who bought them were rich and powerful. As long as there is no economic crisis in their hands, it is obvious that they will not buy them. They will be taken out and sold. In this way, there will be fewer and fewer of these valuable treasures in the market in the future, and naturally there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for collection.

No matter in terms of its collection value or the relationship with the elders, Chen Ran must take good care of these two treasures.

Let's not talk about the gift from the fourth brother for the time being, but the sum of the gifts from this brother is obviously several hundred million.

And the gift from the fourth child was beyond Chen Ran's imagination, because the gift from the fourth child was a mine, to be precise, a diamond mine.

During the later drinking, Chen Ran also learned about the situation of the fourth brother from his brothers. The fourth brother seemed to have committed a crime in the early years, and then fled abroad with the help of his brothers. Later, this buddy simply ran to Africa I went, it is said that it is still doing well, just think about it, can it not be good to give away a diamond mine?

As for why he gave Chen Ran a diamond mine, it was because he heard from He Zhenhua that Chen Ran was going to open a jewelry store, so he thought about giving Chen Ran a diamond mine.

After knowing the value of the gifts from the brothers, although Chen Ran had agreed to accept them, he was still a little embarrassed, after all, these gifts were too expensive.

But He Zhenhua quickly dispelled his doubts.

First of all, He Zhenhua told him that none of the brothers paid for the gifts they gave him. First of all, the villa was jointly developed by He Zhenhua and another real estate agent.

Of course, He Zhenhua mainly took up the title.

The villa districts in Beijing are well-planned. Needless to say, those who want to eat this piece of cake, let alone those who have no background, let alone enter, even if they enter, they will be smashed.

The tree is big enough to enjoy the shade. Naturally, He Zhenhua, a big tree, has many people asking for it. The real estate agent is a junior of an old subordinate of He Zhenhua's grandfather. He Zhenhua also helped him.

These real estate developers usually keep a part of each place after they develop a place, or sell or give it to some related households.

And that villa was allotted to He Zhenhua and asked He Zhenhua to give it away.

As for the courtyard house given by the second child, according to He Zhenhua, the second child’s house doesn’t have many things, but the courtyard house is more. It is said that it is an elder of the second child, who seems to be an uncle, a cultural businessman, because in the early years, there were many celebrities. The former residence was demolished. His uncle appealed to many people to stop it, but no one listened to them at all. In the end, his uncle took out all his family property and bought the courtyard house in a fit of anger.

There were at least [-] or [-] sets of courtyard houses bought at that time, but most of those former residences of celebrities were returned to the state, and some were given to relatives and friends or lent to some units for use. The titles of these courtyard houses lent out are still the property of the second child's family.

According to He Zhenhua, the yacht given by the third child and the private jet given by the seventh child were all made in the subsidiary factory of the seventh family.

As for the third child, he exchanged other things for the yacht from the seventh child.

The two antiques given by the fifth and the sixth were also taken from home, so naturally they didn't have to pay for them, let alone the fourth.

He Zhenhua also told Chen Ran that although there are so many gifts, in fact, the only things Chen Ran can get right away are the courtyard house of the second child and the calligraphy, paintings and porcelain vases of the fifth and sixth.

The villa given by He Zhenhua himself has just been built, and it will take at least a few months to live in it, and the yachts and private jets given by the third and seventh children have just been booked, so Chen Ran naturally wants to get them. take a while.

The fourth son's diamond mine is in Africa, so Chen Ran can take it if he wants it.

So with so many gifts, only this courtyard house and two antiques are ready-made, and the others are invisible.

This just made Chen Ran accept it with peace of mind. When he got the real thing, he and his brothers were familiar with each other, so naturally there would be no psychological barriers.

……

Parking the car on the side of the road, Chen Ran, Xiaoyu and Wu Laosan got out of the car and stood in front of the gate of a courtyard.

The courtyard is a large family with carved beams and painted buildings at the entrance, which is very majestic, and the two stone lions at the entrance are even more powerful.

"Go in and have a look."

After looking at it, Chen Ran took out the key and said to Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu nodded, and then Chen Ran opened the door.

The gates of the courtyard houses are also made of solid wood, and the vermilion lacquer on the gates is simple and luxurious.

Entering the compound, you will see the neatly decorated blue-gray tile-roofed houses with magnificent carved beams and painted columns, and then turn around the majestic screen wall...and enter the front yard of the courtyard.

The courtyards in this area were not far from the imperial city and the Imperial College, so they used to be the residences of dignitaries, and almost every courtyard was a courtyard with several entrances and exits.

There are several peach trees planted in the front yard, flowers and plants are planted around, and goldfish are raised in the ponds on both sides.

It can be seen that the yard is often cleaned and tidy.

The second child told Chen Ran that it was contracted to a professional housekeeping company, and the other party would send professionals to clean and repair it every month.

Moreover, this courtyard house was renovated last year, but there was no major change. It just invited the retro construction team to renovate and installed some modern facilities, and these modern facilities were installed in a hidden way, without affecting the house at all. Effect.

Chen Ran and Xiaoyu looked at the front yard first, and then the middle yard. The middle yard was the largest and had a large garden. They didn’t go to the back yard, because the back yard was full of miscellaneous rooms, and there were two more on the east and west sides. Small courtyard.

After reading it, Chen Ran felt that it was very good, especially the overall decoration effect of the courtyard house was very suitable to his taste.

Ordinarily, such a set of yard decoration is extremely luxurious, which is in line with its identity, but Chen Ran doesn't like it very much, because it always makes him feel that he is not in his own home.

The courtyard in front of me is very simple in decoration. Of course, simplicity is not crude. To be precise, it should be less luxurious and more crisp. It feels as if standing in this courtyard has a kind of open and aboveboard. feeling like.

And the most important thing is that the family taste is very strong. (starter:)

After shopping around, Xiaoyu obviously fell in love with this place, especially when she and Chen Ran held hands and went shopping together, she felt like she would make a home here.

When Chen Ran and Xiaoyu were strolling, Wu Laosan also followed behind, but he kept his head depressed and didn't speak.

And when they came out after shopping, Chen Ran and Xiaoyu also found that Wu Laosan, who had put away his expression, looked sour again.

But this time Xiaoyu seemed to have guessed what happened to him, so he didn't ask him what happened.

On the contrary, Chen Ran was very puzzled.

He naturally didn't know that Wu Laosan was stimulated.

He felt that his courtyard house was worth at least tens of millions. His estimated value was obviously wrong. Such a large courtyard house would only be worth tens of millions in other places, but his set Where is the courtyard house?

He obviously didn't consider the location of the courtyard house.

And Wu Laosan undoubtedly knew it all too well. In his opinion, Chen Ran's courtyard house was worth [-] million yuan, which is not much.

Back in the capital, Wu Laosan just bought a villa of more than 2000 million yuan to live in. Originally, it was fine for him to live in that villa, but people are afraid of comparison. Take his villa of more than 2000 million yuan and the courtyard house of Chen Ran Comparing it, it is undoubtedly... especially because he was in a bad mood just now because of money...

Chen Ran naturally didn't know the reason.

After coming out of the courtyard, Xiaoyu said to take him to eat Beijing's Quanjude Roast Duck. Naturally, he had no objection, and Wu Laosan also nodded.

After arriving at Quanjude, after eating and drinking well, Wu Laosan finally told why he was looking for Chen Ran. (starter:)
