Chapter 1071 You can’t be rich for more than four generations
Author: fine vest
Zhou Zhou and Zhao Mingyang got into his Rolls-Royce. She was very reserved in the back seat. Zhao Mingyang glanced at the Cartier bracelet on Zhou Zhou's wrist and probably knew that it was probably a gift from someone else.
Generally speaking, if a man has some money and wants to give a woman something more expensive, he will basically choose watches and bracelets from this brand. The customers of this brand are also very clear, female customers.
The reason why Zhao Mingyang saw that this bracelet was given to her by others instead of bought by herself was because she worked here. If she had the ability to buy this, it would be a bit unreasonable.
First of all, she works here. Even if she is offered a high salary, it will not be outrageous, up to 30,000 a month, unless she can sell multiple luxury homes and get commission. But looking at her appearance, you can tell that she should
It's not a gold medal sales, but it's still an ordinary work badge.
As for her family background, Zhao Mingyang also roughly understood that she would not spend money so lavishly now.
If you were working part-time and were very rich, you wouldn't have Jason calling you around. After all, Zhao Mingyang could see Jason's attitude towards Zhou Zhou and had no scruples at all.
This proves that she has no weight here, and the bracelet she is wearing is a classic style, not a new style. If you are a frequent high-spending person, you should wear a new style at this time. Coupled with her attitude towards Zhao Mingyang, it looks like
I was very nervous when I came out, probably because I didn’t meet many big clients.
If she can afford to buy this, she either has outstanding performance or her family is wealthy, neither of which she seems to have taken advantage of.
The main reason is that this brand is a favorite of young men and young bosses who want to show off their meager strength and want to buy relatively high-end items for their girls, so they will basically choose this brand.
Many girls wear Cartier, which actually tells some men that if they want to be good with me, they must be able to afford this.
As for the real estate company, it will not give too much or too high treatment to a good-looking anchor, because there is no shortage of good-looking female sales here. If you grab a basket of baskets, only beauties meet the application requirements, so the most indispensable thing here is
Beautiful and handsome guy.
The car went down from an underground garage outside the sales office, and then drove all the way to the villa area. There was a railing over there. Vehicles in the villa area could not get in. Through this corridor, you reached the dedicated underground passage in the villa area.
Each household's vehicles are parked in an underground garage with an electric door.
The electric door opens and the vehicle drives in. If you want to go up, you can only go up from the inside. This prevents some people from going to the villa area from the underground passage, and the dedicated driveway of this villa area is patrolled by security.
But residents in the villa area can go to other areas at will, which means they are treated differently.
When you arrive at the garage, there are four parking spaces in total. Enter the password through a glass door to open the villa. The lower floor can be used as a wine cellar or indoor basketball court, as well as a swimming pool.
The second floor below has reserved storage rooms and cloakrooms, and can also be used as a small living room, tea room, etc. On the first floor upstairs, you can see the garden outside the bay window.
The master bedroom is on the third floor, and there are five secondary bedrooms in total. Each of the secondary bedrooms is 50 square meters per room, with an independent bathroom and dressing room. There are also two nanny rooms, and a nanny's room is also 20 square meters.
The laundry room is standard. The space here is indeed very large. The ceiling height of the first floor is also high. The single floor is 9 meters, which is enough for ceiling decoration. The second and third floors are 3.2 meters high.
Moreover, there is an arc-shaped hollow between the first floor and the third floor, just like a shopping mall, which allows light to shine in. Of course, you can also design and improve it yourself. This house is pure rough and only comes with two elevators.
The garden area is indeed large enough, with two gardens at the front and back. The most important thing is that there is a four-meter distance between the buildings of each household here, which protects privacy very well. The yard of each household is surrounded by walls.
It is fenced to ensure privacy, and the walls are three meters high.
The biggest difference between a single-family villa and a townhouse is that they are separated by a wall. First of all, the privacy is not strong, and there are relatively many conflicts.
Walking out of the villa, there is a three-meter-wide runway. There are trees planted outside the villa and in the courtyard when it was first built. They have grown up at this time, just blocking the sight of some high-rise people looking here. It is ten meters away.
The small high-rise buildings on the first floor are some distance away, and the high-rise buildings in the 30s and above are even further away.
Although there is a sense of tranquility here, because it is inside the community, it also gives people a feeling of being surrounded, or to be precise, a feeling of imprisonment. The main reason is that the usable area is too small. After all, the place is limited, and the public area is relatively small. You can walk around and come back.
Yes, this place is suitable for people who like peace and quiet.
Zhao Mingyang prefers liveliness, especially the kind of quietness amidst the hustle and bustle. Open the window to see the bustling market, and close the window to enjoy the tranquility alone.
Zhou Zhou followed Zhao Mingyang to explain, but Zhao Mingyang didn't respond. She started to get nervous. The key is that Zhao Mingyang didn't look at her and didn't give her any captureable expression feedback.
She thought there was nothing wrong with Zhao Mingyang asking her to accompany him here, but it turned out that there was nothing.
"Mr. Zhao, is there anything else you don't understand?" Zhou Zhou asked.
"It's nothing. Your explanation is very good. If I need you next time, please go back." Zhao Mingyang turned around and went back.
Zhou Zhou was surprised. What did Zhao Mingyang mean? What a strange customer.
However, looking at his clothes, he did have a sense of maturity and stability that she had not seen at this age. Many rich second generations also pursued her, but Zhao Mingyang's type was indeed rare.
She always felt like she had seen Zhao Mingyang somewhere, a bit like one of her neighbors before, but it was impossible. Anyone who could afford it here could basically afford it since she was born. She mainly didn't know Zhao Mingyang's family name.
What, I never paid attention to this before.
Moreover, there is a big difference in temperament. Zhao Mingyang is much more handsome than her brother next door, but his appearance is just a bit similar.
Zhao Mingyang and Zhou Zhou took a car back to the sales office. Zhou Zhou prepared a pot of tea for her and asked Zhao Mingyang if she needed anything else.
Zhao Mingyang glanced at Zhou Zhou with his cell phone and said with a smile, "No, thank you."
He didn't say anything more, because there was no need, and it was useless to say so much. Should he just take one look at her and accept her? Satisfy his previous little fantasy about her? What happens after that? Give her some money to spend? Or she runs away.
You go to your hometown to ask for an explanation, but you won’t leave?
She does have some beauty and looks good, but there is no need. Zhao Mingyang has seen too many beauties, but Zhao Mingyang wants to stay with her for a while, and some memories will be forgotten.
Zhao Mingyang didn't want to participate in her life, so he sent her away.
Jason called Zhao Mingyang and asked Zhao Mingyang to wait for him for a while and be back soon.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Mingyang and Jason were sitting in the car. Jason and Zhao Mingyang briefly introduced the information about the head of each other's household.
The head of the household of this house is an authentic Shencheng native. Three generations of his ancestors have been from Shencheng. His family used to be in the shipping business. His grandfather bought this house for his father to get married. Over the next few decades, their family
I have survived the ups and downs.
The homeowner is seventy years old this year, and his children are all abroad. Their shipping business was sold out a few years ago. I don’t know why they are selling the house this time, but the reason must be related to the shortage of capital.
Jason didn't know any other information. Zhao Mingyang asked someone to inquire about the owner of this house, and he found out more.
The house owner and his wife were well matched. The house owner's wife's family used to be rich, but later they lost. But the thin man's camel was bigger than a horse, which was pretty good compared to ordinary families. Later, someone in the family came back from abroad and helped a lot.
The host made some good choices in his early years. After more than ten years, he slowly got better and started doing business. Because of his experience, he was among the first batch of makers in the country and one of the more successful ones.
Later, the landlord's son went to study abroad in the 1980s, married a foreign wife abroad, got married, had children, and settled overseas.
One thing to note here is that most people think that the entrepreneurship boom was in the 1990s, because that was the period when most entrepreneurs came out. However, Shanghai is a place where entrepreneurship and business started earlier, and many people went abroad to study in the 1980s.
In the 1980s, there were trade exchanges between Shanghai and foreign countries, so the makers here were earlier than those in other places, and some of them came back from overseas in the 1980s. Of course, the place was not so prosperous at that time, but soon it became
It's back to the metropolitan era again.
In the 1990s and the beginning of the new millennium, many older generations actually only recognized things produced by Shencheng. In their perception, only Shencheng was a big city in China, and the others were not counted. In the 1990s, there were still people from the imperial capital.
Shencheng is called a country person.
At the beginning, Shencheng watches, Shencheng TVs, etc. were selling well all over the country. After the millennium, the popularity of the Imperial Capital continued to increase.
Those born after the 1980s have no feelings for Shanghai, but the older generation, especially those born around the 60s of their grandparents and parents, have the status of Shanghai as an international metropolis in their minds.
The landlord has a son and a daughter, both of whom live abroad. His son basically has no specific job abroad and has settled in Australia. The Chinese community there knows that the landlord's son lives like many Chinese who have some money.
Basically full-time stock trading.
These people all have some money, and their life creed is to enjoy life in time. The homeowner has three grandchildren, and all three children are currently in their early twenties.
An important piece of information that Zhao Mingyang learned was that the landlord's son currently has a bad reputation in overseas Chinese circles. It is said that he hid back in China because he owed money to a circle of people and came back with his wife. The children treated him like this.
It doesn't matter, since the debt is owed by him alone.
It is said that the son of this homeowner wanted to buy a stock at the bottom. As a result, the stock fell again. He still wanted to buy the bottom, so he mortgaged his house and car and continued to buy the bottom. This time, he still did not see the bottom. He seemed to be possessed.
I also asked my friends around me to borrow money to buy at the bottom.
After buying the bottom three times, he still didn't see the bottom, and the key stock didn't come back. He was what everyone calls a taker. This stock was ruined in his hands, and all his family assets were wiped out.
When a friend asked for money and the bank called for debt, he sneaked back because he secretly borrowed money from a third-party loan company, which was equivalent to a loan shark. What he really invested was not only the three sums of money, but also the loan shark.
of.
More than 10 million U.S. dollars is nothing in the U.S. stock market, and it is normal to lose it all at once. But he can still play in the Hong Kong stock market for a while, and he can play in the domestic stock market for a longer time, but he chooses to play in the U.S. stock market.
As I said before, it is difficult to make a big splash in the U.S. stock market with just a few hundred million dollars. There is a bottomless pit there, let alone tens of millions of dollars.
The landlord sold the house, probably to pay off his son's debt. The old man actually didn't have much money on hand. His son didn't inherit the family business. A few years ago, he gave away all his property to others, and his son and grandsons are all abroad.
He bought a house and gave them a sum of money. He also gave a sum of money to his daughter.
There is still some money left. If it is all given to their son, then they have no savings. The only thing valuable is this house. The son of the main owner has not made any money since he was a child, and he spends money very much.
It cost almost 10 million US dollars.
The landlord's money was basically wasted by this son. Fortunately, he bought a house for his daughter and grandchildren abroad, and another person gave them a million dollars, otherwise he would have ruined everything.
.
The grandsons of the homeowner no longer care about the son of the homeowner. In their understanding and cognition, there is no such thing as a father's debt being repaid by his son. The key point is that the son of the homeowner has not fulfilled his father's responsibilities for a day. He eats, drinks and has fun all day long. It seems very
I was busy, making various investments, and ended up losing money every time.
The landlord's son is now desperate. In fact, he has not returned to China, but is in Taiguo, because he has borrowed money from relatives and friends in China, which totals more than one million US dollars.
The most terrible thing is that the loan shark who borrowed the loan from abroad by the landlord's son found the landlord's grandson and threatened him that if the landlord's son did not go back to pay back the money, he would deal with the landlord's grandson. It can really solve that kind of problem.
The landlord has repaid all the money from relatives and friends in China, so there is nothing more to ask at home, but the money abroad is a lot of money.
When the car arrived at its destination, Zhao Mingyang took a look and saw that there were three parking spaces outside the villa that were locked. He didn't know if he rented them or what, but the people who lived here had something to do with them.
Jason made a call. After a while, a woman in her fifties came over and unlocked the parking space for them. Zhao Mingyang and Jason got out of the car, and Jason went to the trunk and carried two bags in front.
lead the way.
This woman in her fifties was the nanny here. Zhao Mingyang walked into the villa and took a look at the garden. He saw that it was carefully taken care of.
Entering the villa, the nanny took them to a small living room on the second floor. Zhao Mingyang looked carefully after entering the house. The decoration style here basically maintained the decoration style of the 1920s and 1930s. The interior decoration has basically not changed. Many old items are now
It's hard to find anything, like the gramophone in the living room.
The ceiling downstairs is very high. The downstairs is more than six meters high, and the second and third floors are both three meters high.
There was a hidden elevator in the house, inside a door, but the nanny took them upstairs via the spiral staircase.
Since the first floor is very long and high, the second floor is equivalent to the height of the fourth or fifth floor of an ordinary house. There are wall lamps and oil paintings on the walls. The older generation of Shanghainese people are very pursuing the quality of life, which is similar to that of Europe and the United States.
They are almost the same and have the habit of drinking afternoon tea.
Tea in Europe and the United States was passed down from China. At that time, only the nobles could afford it. Many pastries were also passed down from China and improved.
It is well known in China that people in Shanghai like to drink coffee. The older generation here prefer to pair coffee with Soviet-style pastries instead of drinking tea.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, hello Mrs. Wu, this is a little thought prepared for you by Mr. Zhao," Jason greeted an old man with gray hair and glasses on the second floor. The old man was sitting on the coffee table, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.
, an old woman beside him was holding a book and reading it intently.
The two old men were very well-dressed. The old man had a slicked-back hair, a pair of glasses, a clean shave, a white shirt with a black vest, and a Patek Philippe watch on his hand.
Yes.
The old lady wore a headband and a white dress with a pair of white high heels.
She also wore a white knitted sweater outside the dress and a women's watch on her wrist, still reading quietly.
"Hello Mr. Zhao, would you like some tea or coffee?" The old man put down the newspaper and looked at Zhao Mingyang and said, he was also looking at Zhao Mingyang.
"Is there a Longjing? I prefer Longjing." Zhao Mingyang said after taking a seat.
"Aunt Wang, go make a pot of Longjing." Mr. Wu said.
The nanny immediately went to prepare, very quickly, first served the pastries, then put a pot of tea on the table, gave Zhao Mingyang a cup of tea and left.
This is a rule, sir, when entertaining guests, it is not appropriate to overstay their welcome.
Aunt Wang has worked here for thirty years and knows everything there is to know.
"Jason, please go and buy a pack of cigarettes for me." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Okay." Jason knew that he wouldn't be able to listen to the following words. If he really went to buy a pack of cigarettes and then came back, or just took out a pack of cigarettes, it wouldn't be good. He didn't say it clearly, but Jason understood that this was to let him avoid it.
.
The homeowner looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked calmly: "Why did Mr. Zhao buy this house?"
Zhao Mingyang took a sip of tea and said, "Why does Mr. Wu want to sell this house?"
"We want to live abroad and accompany our children, but they keep letting us go there. They have settled there for decades, and we sent them to study abroad very early.
My husband and I studied abroad more than 50 years ago. Unlike some people today who think it’s great to go abroad, we are different. We have lived in this house for decades, almost a century old, but
If the child wants us to go there, we can't shirk it." The old lady said while reading a book.
