Following the guidance of Zheng Le's phone call, Chen Ran drove to the Baojian Factory near Daleshan in the suburbs of Tianzhong City. Zheng Le was already waiting here. When he saw the off-road vehicle coming, he hung up the phone and trotted away.
He came up to me and seemed to be waiting impatiently.
Chen Ran parked the off-road vehicle at the gate on one side. When he got off the car, he saw a tall wooden archway gate with "Huangquan Sword Factory" written on the banner. On both sides of the wooden carved archway were bamboo rafts.
Regardless of the scene inside the sword factory, judging from the gate in front of you, Zheng Le's Huangquan sword factory looks quite similar, and the environment near the sword factory is also good.
In addition to being located at the foot of the back mountain of Dalue Mountain, there are also scenic spots nearby. It can be said that there are mountains and mountains and water. There is Jingquan Temple to the east, Toad Spring to the southeast, and Luotuo Temple and Luotuo Temple Mountain to the southwest.
...A lot of thought was obviously put into choosing this location for the sword factory.
"Brother Chen, how about my sword factory? This is you too. If it were anyone else, I really wouldn't have planned to take action. When I built this sword factory, I also saved my breath and prepared to do something big.
, but because of the opposition from my family, I had no choice but to stop it. Hey, I won’t tell you more. 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.
, go in and have a look for yourself. If you feel satisfied, call me and 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 it for now, see you later!”
Zheng Le seemed to be in a hurry. After saying a few words, he took out a large bunch of keys from his bag and gave them to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran felt quite embarrassed when he saw him like this. He knew that he had arrived a little late and delayed Zheng Le's time. Seeing that Zheng Le seemed to have come by taxi, he quickly asked Zheng Le if he wanted to drive him there.
he.
Zheng Le waved his hand and did not let Chen Ran drive him. He had just taken a taxi and the taxi was still waiting nearby. Seeing him waving his hand, the taxi drove over. Zheng Le and Chen Ran waved.
, got into the taxi and hurried to the airport.
After the taxi disappeared from sight, Chen Ran turned around and looked at the sword factory in front of him carefully, thinking that no wonder Zheng Le couldn't bear to change hands of the sword factory. If it were him, he wouldn't transfer it either. Thanks to
Zhu Feng.
When Zhu Feng had dinner together yesterday afternoon, when Zhu Feng talked about how Chen Ran and Zheng Le met, Chen Ran didn't tell them about the sword factory at first. He just said that they 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 Chen Ran that he wanted to acquire his sword factory. After hearing this, Zhu Feng naturally helped Chen Ran by saying a lot and said that Chen Ran was his good buddy.
If you don't give Chen Ran face, you don't give him face.
Originally, Chen Ran didn't take what he said at yesterday's dinner table seriously. After all, what was said in the wine shop could not be taken seriously. But who would have thought that early this morning, Zheng Le called him and asked him to come over and take a look at the sword.
Factory.
Although Chen Ran rushed over immediately, because he was not familiar with the urban area, it took him more than half an hour to touch it, which also delayed Zheng Le's time.
With the key in his hand, Chen Ran didn't look too much outside. He found the largest key from a bunch of keys, opened the big lock on the carved wooden door, and walked in.
The first thing that comes into view is a small courtyard. In the small courtyard are connected pools. There is a stone bridge in the middle. There are pools on both sides of the stone bridge. On the left side of the small courtyard is a flower pond with some rose flowers planted in it.
Against the wall on the right side, there is a grape trellis. There is a stone table under the grape trellis, which is obviously used as a small pavilion. At the roots of the bamboo raft walls on both sides, there is a row of green bamboos, and the environment of the small courtyard is also
It is considered elegant and unique.
Right in front of the small courtyard is a connected forging room. After entering the sword workshop, Chen Ran discovered that the space of the sword workshop is really not small, especially there is a small door in the right corner of the small courtyard.
, he went in and took a look. After entering the small door, there was a smaller courtyard. This courtyard was obviously where the metallurgist lived.
The ancient sword workshop is different from other workshops. Other workshops are equipped with modern equipment, but the regular ancient sword workshop is equipped with ancient sword forging equipment. Of course, the kind where a piece of iron is directly forged into an ancient sword.
Workshops are naturally excluded. The ancient swords made by that kind of workshop cannot be called ancient swords. They can only be said to be a piece of iron. When placed in the market, that kind of sword is also the lowest-end and can only be regarded as a children's toy.
Or to deceive 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 of Kunwu State, they are the same in usage and principle.
After visiting the entire sword workshop, Chen Ran was still very satisfied. What worries him now is whether he can purchase this sword workshop with his current wealth. Although the equipment of the sword workshop is not very valuable, it is still worth something.
, and renting this land and building such a workshop will undoubtedly require money. If there is no relationship, this land will probably not be rented so easily. In addition to these, the sword factory itself undoubtedly has some value.
of.
After leaving the sword workshop, Chen Ran parked his car in front of a bank and checked the funds he had now, which was 7.05 million!
Seven million?
Can I buy this sword workshop with 7 million...
Chen Ran himself shook his head. Although the equipment was not valuable, it was probably worth two or three million. Needless to say, seven million was undoubtedly a bit high.
Although Chen Ran did not ask Chen Ping about the money his family invested in the hotel, he estimated that it was almost spent. Even if there was any left, it would probably be less than a million. The hotel was about to open. If there was no working capital, it would undoubtedly be
It won’t work…
As for the three million invested in Guo Hai Bathing Center, that's even worse. If he misappropriates the money here, he will definitely stop work there.
Zheng Le was probably on the plane at this moment, so Chen Ran was not in a hurry to call him. He simply took advantage of this time and ran to the Antique City in Huakang Market, hoping to pick up the leak and alleviate the financial crisis.
He just hoped that it would be beautiful, but the reality was cruel. He ran through the entire antique city and found nothing.
Chen Ran, who came out of the antique city, had unspeakable regrets. He found that compared with the older generation collectors in the antique world, he was still inferior. The inferiority was not his eyesight, but his well-informed information.
People like Bai Lao and others who specialize in antiques have acquainted with people from all walks of life, and their sources of information are undoubtedly very well-informed. Wherever there is a black market or good stuff, someone will immediately notify them.
The antiques now scattered among the people have been almost completely scooped up by the antique dealers. If you want to receive the antiques, you can only receive them in the underground black market. After all, those who organize the underground black market are all related to tomb robbers.
, in addition to counterfeit goods, the goods in their hands were also collected from tomb robbers, or they helped the tomb robbers to resell those unclean things, and they charged a handling fee.
In this regard, except for the organizer Mo Zi 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 Mo Zi gave him had long been lost.
Where has it gone?
Shaking his head, Chen Ran returned to the antique city.
This time, he didn't just pick someone up, but deliberately met a few followers who were wandering around the antique city. These people were also the most well-informed and had connections with some people who organized the underground black market. Although this
A few followers can't provide him with information now, but they can still make plans for the future.
It seems that from now on, every time I go to an antique city, I should not just pick up the missing items, but also get to know more people like them. People like them have a reason to exist.
After coming out of the antique city again, Chen Ran got into the off-road vehicle and called Zheng Le. The call was answered. Zheng Le had arrived in the capital. Chen Ranhe said that he was very satisfied with his sword workshop and was ready to sell it.
Purchased.
Not long after Zheng Legang arrived in the capital, he had other matters and didn't say much to Chen Ran. He just said that someone had offered more than 10 million yuan some time ago, but he didn't transfer it. Now, for the sake of Zhu Feng and Chen Ran, he wants a piece of land.
Forget about the lease transfer fee and equipment fee, let’s not talk about the rest. It’s like half-sold and half-gifted to Chen Ran.
The price is eight million.
The price was definitely not high. Chen Ran also knew that Zheng Le's words were true, so he agreed. Zheng Le also said that he would not go back in the short term and would let someone contact Chen Ran. Chen Ran agreed.
I came down and hung up the phone.
Eight million!
There is still a funding gap of one million.
As soon as he hung up the phone, the phone rang suddenly again, and the caller was a man named Hou. This man was the person Zheng Le said that someone would contact Chen Ran. The other person told Chen Ran that he could contact him at any time.
Contact him.
Chen Ran agreed and hung up the phone. He naturally thought that the sooner the better, but now he still has a fund gap of one million.
Apart from picking up leaks, he could only carve jade for this million. But when it came to carving jade, Chen Ran suddenly remembered something and quickly took out his mobile phone and called.
