"Zhuang Rui is my cousin, my sister-in-law's child."
Before Zhuang Rui could speak, Ouyang Jun suddenly interjected. Zhuang Rui gave him a strange look and didn't say much. This is a fact. There is no need to cover it up. Just say it.
"Do you have an aunt?"
Miao Feifei opened her mouth in surprise. Given the position of the Ouyang family, basically all family members have been inquired about clearly. Miao Feifei only knew that their father had three sons, but she did not expect that they also had a daughter.
It turned out to be Zhuang Rui's mother.
"Well, my sister-in-law has been living out of town. Okay, let's go down."
Ouyang Jun didn't say much this time. It was related to other people's family privacy, so Miao Feifei didn't ask any more questions.
After going down to the hall, Zhuang Rui saw that Liu Chuan was spitting and bragging about his adventure in Tibet. The group of people surrounding him were actually silenced by him. Although these people also often went there to play
It was a hunting expedition or something, but he had never encountered a pack of wild wolves. He looked at Liu Chuan with a look of envy in his eyes, wishing that he was the protagonist in his story.
"By the way, can you arrange a place for my friend to stay?"
Zhuang Rui asked Ouyang Jun next to him. Liu Chuan brought a Tibetan mastiff, which was obviously not suitable for staying in a hotel.
"Just stay in the club. The rooms here are no worse than five-star ones, and..."
Ouyang Jun glanced at Miao Feifei, but did not continue. Zhuang Rui naturally understood in his heart that what Ouyang Jun wanted to say was, and if Liu Chuan had the ability, he might be able to hook up with a female star to warm his bed.
"Fourth brother, why don't I live here too and arrange a room for me adjacent to Liu Chuan..."
Zhuang Rui was a little tired after driving for a day. More importantly, he wanted to look at Liu Chuan to prevent this kid from getting obsessed with him. If he really tried to hook up with a little star, he would be sorry for his old classmate.
"Okay, the old man may not be free today. Do you want to go and rest after playing? Or do you want to go now?"
Ouyang Jun agreed immediately. If Zhuang Rui went home to live, he would also go back with him. He would not be able to relax in the club at home.
"I'm going to rest first. I'm a little tired today. Fourth brother, please find someone to take Feifei home."
Zhuang Rui was not very interested in the noisy crowd, so he could just leave such an occasion to Liu Chuan. Like his mother, he liked quietness at heart.
"No, I drove here, Zhuang Rui, give me a call tomorrow morning." Miao Feifei raised the car key in her hand, said hello to Zhuang Rui, and left on her own.
"Brother, you can't tell. You were able to subdue this little pepper. It's amazing. It's really amazing."
After Miao Feifei walked out of the door, Ouyang Jun gave Zhuang Rui a thumbs-up with a smile on his face. Miao Feifei was one of the best in the four-nine cities in terms of appearance and family background. She wanted to marry the Miao family.
There were quite a few, but Miao Feifei was known for her tough personality, and her family had arranged several blind dates, but she didn't like them, so no one dared to force her.
"Fourth brother, you can't say this nonsense. I don't have anything to say, but Officer Miao is a nice person. If word spreads about it, it will bring bad reputation to others." After hearing what Ouyang Jun said, Zhuang Rui quickly denied it.
"You still don't admit it? The way that girl looks at you is wrong, work harder to get her down, brother, I support you..." Ouyang Jun chuckled, with an expression that you know what I know.
"Don't talk nonsense, fourth brother, I have a girlfriend. You go ahead and go, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed..."
After Zhuang Rui entered the room, he pushed Ouyang Jun out. If this cheap cousin were allowed to continue talking, he didn't know what unpleasant words he would say.
"I said you... well, I can't leave yet. I'm going to sleep with the big star."
Ouyang Jun wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw the white lion blocking the door, he felt a little timid. However, before leaving, he did not forget to prod Zhuang Rui. In this hot weather, people can easily get angry.
Zhuang Rui was indeed stimulated. Ouyang Jun's concubine was the dream lover of children, middle-aged and elderly people. Although in terms of beauty, Qin Xuanbing was not inferior to him, but the charm in her behavior made Qin Xuanbing
It was so bad that Zhuang Rui ran to the bathroom and took a cold shower to get rid of the heat in his heart.
"Damn it, if Xuan Bing doesn't come back a year ago, I'll go to England..."
Zhuang Rui lay on the bed and made up his mind. Although he talked on the phone every day, and Qin Xuanbing was more open-minded than before. She often kissed on the phone and so on, but this distant water could not quench the near thirst. After every call,
Even though he was on the phone, Zhuang Rui had the urge to trouble the fifth girl.
…
Zhuang Rui got up very early the next day, went to the restaurant to have breakfast, and took the white lion for a walk. There were not many people staying here. Apart from the staff, Zhuang Rui was the only one in the restaurant.
After finishing the meal, Zhuang Rui woke up Liu Chuan. This guy might have slept very late yesterday and opened the door with dark circles under his eyes.
"How was the harvest yesterday?"
Zhuang Rui took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator in the room and looked around the room. Fortunately, there seemed to be no trace of a woman.
"Hey, Mumu, we've made a fortune. Do you know how many people ordered our baby mastiffs yesterday?"
Liu Chuan, who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, ran out excitedly with a mouthful of foam after hearing Zhuang Rui's words.
"Get out of here, stay away from me..." Looking at the bubbles flying out of Liu Chuan's mouth, Zhuang Rui kicked him on the butt.
"Listen to me, I received two breeding business yesterday, each breeding costs 300,000 yuan. Another eight people have ordered young mastiffs for next year. It will depend on whether the bloodline is pure or not. As long as they are similar to my black lion,
, each one can be sold for three million, how about wood, make a fortune!"
Liu Chuan ran back to the bathroom, rinsed his mouth in a hurry, then ran back quickly and started talking to Zhuang Rui like a treasure.
"Damn, are they really fake? There are so many?"
Zhuang Rui was also shocked by Liu Chuan's words. The total amount of this business was more than 20 million, which was no less than what he earned from betting on stones.
"What's the matter? Are you regretting it? Who asked you to be generous and give up all the shares to Brother Zhou? Otherwise, the dividends from this business would be more than 6 million, or else I would give you some of my shares?
"
Liu Chuan knew that Zhuang Rui transferred the shares to Zhou Rui mainly because he wanted to tie Zhou Rui to the mastiff garden. However, for Zhuang Rui, this loss would be great, so Liu Chuan wanted to make up for it for him.
"Forget it, after making money, just put my 11% dividend into the account."
Zhuang Rui waved his hand. Although the six million is a lot, it is far behind compared to the jade mines in Xinjiang. Yesterday, Zhuang Rui had a phone call with Lord Jade. The mining of the jade mine was going very smoothly and it has now been mined.
More than 50 tons of jade have been produced. The quality is quite good and the value is about 300 million.
Moreover, the content of this jade mine seems to be much higher than expected. The old man estimates that it can still be mined for two years, but the speed will not be so fast later, and additional investment in mining equipment will be needed. If the jade market
If the price can be maintained at the current stage, the total profit of this jade mine should be more than 1.5 billion.
However, the money will not be obtained so quickly. Such a large batch of jade raw materials must be put into the market slowly, otherwise it will have a great impact on the jade raw material market, which is something the Jade Prince absolutely does not want to see.
Compared to the 150 million he was about to receive, Zhuang Rui didn't care so much about the 10 million from the Mastiff Garden. Considering Zhou Rui's character and Zhuang Rui's friendship with him, Zhuang Rui was still willing to give him this small share.
.
While the two were chatting, Ouyang Jun called. Liu Chuan had nothing to do, so he went to look at the house with Zhuang Rui.
…
Zhuang Rui can't afford the four-contract apartment of more than 5,000 square meters for the time being. What he is interested in is a large duplex courtyard house of more than 2,000 square meters, located in a historical and cultural reserve in Xuanwu District, very close to Liulichang
, you can wander there in a few minutes' walk.
This set of courtyards is composed of five small courtyards. In ancient times, it could definitely be called the gate of a mansion.
Judging from the floor plan, this courtyard house includes five courtyards and two gardens, covering an area of more than 500 square meters. It is equipped with rockeries, fish ponds, pavilions, etc. Several courtyards are connected by hand corridors. The design
It's very clever. As for what other facilities there are, you have to go and see it in person to find out.
As for the other courtyards, Zhuang Ruixian is not in a good location and is a bit small, so I decided to look at this one first. If I’m satisfied, I’ll settle on it. After all, it’s not like you can live in it just by buying it. It definitely needs to be renovated.
of.
After going downstairs, the three of them got into a car. Ouyang Jun first picked up Miao Feifei, and then rushed towards Xuanwu District. When they arrived at the end of the field, Zhuang Rui fell in love with this place before he even got out of the car.
Coming from the periphery, there are some two-story buildings along the way. Most of them are teahouses and taverns. There are also some neatly planned shops that sell mostly souvenirs. Basically no cars pass by here. Ouyang Jun drives by.
At the time, it attracted a lot of curious eyes.
After entering the protected area, Zhuang Rui found that this place was even quieter than the courtyard where the old man lived. There were alleys everywhere, green bricks and yellow tiles, the horse-mounted stone at the entrance of the house, and the bright green in the cracks in the alley.
The moss everywhere reveals a sense of vicissitudes of time.
Walking here, Zhuang Rui seemed to have returned to the old house where he lived in his childhood, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Let's go, why are you so stunned?"
Liu Chuan pushed Zhuang Rui from behind, causing Zhuang Rui to wake up and look forward. Ouyang Jun was talking to a middle-aged man, and there was a man in his thirties standing next to him. Zhuang Rui walked away quickly
passed.
"Zhuang Rui, this is Director Zheng from Xuanwu District. This courtyard belongs to their district. Let Director Zheng introduce it to you. Director Zheng, this is my younger brother..."
When Ouyang Jun spoke, his eyes were wandering and he didn't look at Director Zheng at all. As for the people next to Director Zheng, he didn't even introduce them and was very arrogant.
"Don't dare, don't dare. Mr. Zhuang can just call me Xiao Zheng..."
Zhuang Rui didn't know who Director Zheng was, but he obviously couldn't stand up straight in front of Ouyang Jun. After hearing Ouyang Jun's words, he quickly stretched out his hands, shook Zhuang Rui's tightly, and handed it over to Zhuang Rui.
got his business card.
"office manager?"
The person in front of me is still a division-level cadre, and the next step up is a department-level cadre. If it weren't for the name card, Zhuang Rui would have thought he was just an errand boy. It's hard to believe that Beijing doesn't know about his officialdom.
Xiao, this sentence is absolutely correct.
"Director Zheng, would you like to introduce it to us..."
As Zhuang Rui spoke, he handed over a cigarette. Ouyang Jun next to him had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that the giant panda was taken from him. He couldn't help but feel depressed. It was very unkind of his cousin to use his brother's things as a favor.
Who among the mixed-system people in Beijing doesn’t know this cigarette? Director Zheng’s eyes immediately lit up. He dared to admire the ordinary-dressed young man in front of him. He also had a background. You must know that this cigarette is exclusively for ministers.
The leadership above is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Mr. Zhuang is too polite. This is Xiao Li from our reserve. He knows the specific situation better. Let's talk about it while we watch..." Director Zheng spoke with agility that was inconsistent with his body shape.
He walked in front of everyone.
"Mr. Zhuang, everything inside this wall belongs to this courtyard house. The gate is in front. Please follow me..."
Xiao Li had been informed in advance and knew that these people had great backgrounds and looked very respectful. He extended his hand to guide the way and introduced: "According to records, the house here was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
They are all high-ranking officials with official positions of six ministers and above, and they have been renovated in the past dynasties and are relatively well preserved..."
While talking, the group of people had already reached the door of the house. Zhuang Rui raised his head and looked at the door, feeling a little excited in his heart. This was so... majestic.
Zhuang Rui had seen this kind of courtyard gate in the TV series called "The Gate of the Great House", but now that he was in it, he could truly feel the shock of this ancient building.
The two doors facing each other are more than three meters wide and high, just like a wall, with gate towers, thresholds, door frames, door nails, door pillows, wipers, animal-faced door cymbals, etc., as well as door couplets on both sides.
It can be said that there is no shortage of anything. Zhuang Rui can imagine that in ancient times, when officials walked out of this gate, they would be surrounded by people.
The door is surrounded by brick walls, which are painted with color. There are also paintings on the beams, doors, windows, cornices and rafters. It's just that no one has lived in it for a long time, so the color has fallen off and faded, making it look a little shabby.
.
"Boss Ouyang, Mr. Zhuang, please come in and take a look..."
Director Zheng held a key that looked like a general bar and spent a long time opening the large lock that could be considered a cultural relic. He pushed open half of the heavy solid wood door with great difficulty and let everyone in.
