The Charming Life of Rebirth

Seeing that Xiao Lin had picked out the items, He Ran readily filled out the cash check and handed it to Boss Chen.

Boss Chen said with a smile: "Young Master He is straightforward!" After speaking, he put the check in his pocket with a smile.

Xiao Lin suddenly asked: "Boss Chen, do you have any intention of making a move on this villa?"

Because He Ran never introduced him, Boss Chen didn't know the identities of He Bin and Xiao Lin.

Hearing Xiao Lin's question, Boss Chen said: "I'm leaving in half a year, and I really want to get rid of it before I leave. What's the matter? Little brother, are you interested in taking over?"

Xiao Lin smiled, "It depends on your price, Boss Chen. If it's too high, I don't want it."

Boss Chen thought for a while and said, "Little brother, I won't lie to you. This villa covers an area of ​​more than 3000 square meters. I bought it for 300 million yuan. Such a big villa is rare in the capital." , It’s definitely worth the money. The decoration cost two million yuan, if the little brother wants it, just give it 500 million.”

Xiao Lin nodded, "Well, the price is reasonable. When Boss Chen has time, let's go through the formalities. I'm not in a hurry to live in the house, you can live in any time. But the procedures should be done as soon as possible. Such a good place, I'm terrified of being robbed by others."

Xiao Lin said something interesting, and Boss Chen couldn't help laughing. "Okay. The little brother is a happy person, and we will go through the formalities in two days."

After leaving the Chen family's villa, He Bin asked curiously: "Linlin, why do you suddenly want to buy a villa? Don't you have a very good courtyard house?"

Xiao Lin said: "Second brother, this is a secret. I will tell you after the transfer procedures are completed and the house really belongs to me."

He Bin pouted, "Secret again, don't you know that having a secret makes it hard for others not to know?"

Xiao Lin smiled but didn't answer, and He Bin couldn't do anything in a hurry.He Ran changed the subject, "Linlin, is the blue and white porcelain vase you chose worth much?"

Speaking of this, He Bin also became curious.There are so many large and small antiques, Xiao Lin chose this one, it must be unusual.

"If I look right, this should be a blue-and-white vase from the Qianlong official kiln, and it is worth at least one million now.

If it is put on for a few more years, it is not impossible to be worth 500 million. The appreciation potential of artworks is quite large now. "

"Three five million?" He Bin's eyes lit up, "Then the second brother bought this chime clock, isn't it equivalent to spending only five million?"

Xiao Lin smiled, "Third brother, if it takes another three to five years, maybe this chime clock will be worth tens of millions. This kind of thing is limited in quantity and exquisite in workmanship, so there must be many people after it."

"Tens of millions? Earn tens of millions without doing anything? It's worth it." He Bin blinked at He Ran, "Second Brother, I've earned so much, it's hard to justify not treating me."

It may be that Xiao Lin left a deep impression on He Bin back then, but now as long as it is said by Xiao Lin, He Bin firmly believes it.

He Ran smiled and said: "You boy, if you want the second brother to treat you, just say so, why are you looking for so many reasons? By the way, Linlin, the second brother also wants to know, why did you suddenly want to buy that villa?"

He Bin also looked at Xiao Lin curiously, wishing Xiao Lin could tell the answer immediately.

Xiao Lin looked around for a long time, and finally returned to the original point. In desperation, he had no choice but to say the reason he had just thought up.

In fact, Xiao Lin bought this villa on a temporary basis.He had long thought about bringing his grandparents to the capital to live in the future.The purpose of buying a courtyard house is to allow grandparents to enjoy the pastoral scenery in the city.

But Xiao Lin is already old now, maybe he will find a partner to live with him in a few years.His preferences are different, and he will definitely find someone of the same sex to live with.In this way, I will definitely not be able to live with my grandparents.

Boss Chen's villa was in line with Xiao Lin's aesthetics in terms of layout, decoration and location, so he decided to buy it.

But such a thing must not be said to He Ran and He Bin, so he had to find another reasonable reason.

"Second brother, third brother, you have heard of Chen Xiang, right?"

"Chen Xiang? The one who split the mountain to save his mother?" He Bin asked.

Xiao Lin smiled wryly, the third brother's thinking is too divergent. "No. Agarwood is a high-quality spice, and it is also a very valuable Chinese herbal medicine.

It was originally just a piece of rotten wood that looked dark, but it exudes a simple and long-lasting fragrance.In ancient my country, agarwood has always been favored by the royal family, nobles and dignitaries.

In the Ming Dynasty, as agarwood became scarcer, its value became higher and higher.

After the late Qing Dynasty, the incense culture in our country declined more and more, and the former glory was gone, and many people did not know what agarwood was. "

As soon as He Bin's face turned red, he didn't know what agarwood was.Just thinking about what he said about splitting the mountain to save his mother, I feel ashamed. I am so sorry for Grandpa Huang who taught him.

He Ran asked: "What is the relationship between agarwood and that villa? Could it be that there is agarwood in that villa?"

Xiao Lin nodded, "That's right. Agarwood is actually a kind of balsam formed after years of deposition by fungus invading and parasitizing the trunk of agarwood.

The greater the density of agarwood balsam, the more condensed resin and the better its quality.

The formation of agarwood will go through a long growth period, at least a few years to ten years, and a piece of high-quality agarwood will take decades or even hundreds of years to form.The price is naturally high. "

"Then Linlin, how did you find out that Boss Chen has agarwood?" He Bin still didn't quite understand.

Xiao Lin explained: "As soon as I entered, I noticed that the other trees in the courtyard of the villa were lush and lush, but there was a tree that looked a little lifeless. After careful observation, I found that it was a fragrant tree. Its trunk I don’t know if it was infested by diseases or insects or suffered from windbreak, but some of the trunks have died, and the dead parts have produced agarwood, which is of excellent quality.”

"Agarwood is very valuable?" He Bin asked.He is most concerned about the price issue.

Xiao Lin said: "Third brother, don't just think about money. Agarwood has a strong antibacterial effect, the fragrance enters the spleen, clears the mind and qi, nourishes the five internal organs, relieves cough and phlegm, warms the stomach and spleen, it is a high-quality medicinal material. And it is still A sacred product for Buddha's practice.

If you feel dizzy and tinnitus, and can't sleep all night, agarwood can also help you sleep.These cannot be measured by money. "

"Really so good?" He Bin confirmed again.

Xiao Lin nodded.He just used Chen Xiang as a cover, so that He Ran and He Bin were no longer surprised by his purchase of a villa.Xiao Lin didn't care about whether the agarwood produced on that incense tree was valuable or not.

Seeing Xiao Lin nodding, He Bin immediately said: "Linlin, take me to the antique shop for the few days I'm on vacation, and I also want to buy some agarwood accessories."

Xiao Lin was stunned, "Third brother, you also suffer from insomnia?"

He Bin shook his head, "It's not me, it's Grandpa. I have seen Grandpa get up in the middle of the night several times, so he must not sleep well."

Xiao Lin secretly felt ashamed, he never thought that the elderly would suffer from insomnia.

"Okay, third brother, let's buy more, and everyone in the family will bring one."

Xiao Lin didn't know that their filial piety would bring dozens, hundreds of times the reward.At that time, ordinary agarwood was only 6 yuan per gram. More than ten years later, the price of agarwood of the same quality has risen to 120 yuan per gram.

The price of exquisite agarwood bracelets at this time was only about 1 yuan. Ten years later, it would be difficult to buy a string of 20 yuan.Of course, this is for another day.

Seeing that He Bin and Xiao Lin were having a great time talking, He Ran couldn't help asking: "It's getting late, two younger brothers, where do you want to eat?"

He Bin asked, "Linlin, what do you think?"

Xiao Lin smiled wryly, "Third brother, I haven't been back for several years, how do I know where the food is delicious!"

He Bin thought for a while, "Then let's go to Quanjude. Second brother, what do you think?"

He Ran smiled, "I can be anywhere, and I can be wherever you say."

After finishing speaking, he drove to Quanjude.

Although Xiao Lin ate a lot of Quanjude roast duck that He Xu brought over when he was in Paris, it was a pity that those were vacuum-packed, and the taste was different from the roasted ones on site.

Today, following the two elder brothers, I will definitely be able to eat the roast duck made by the master himself. Just thinking about it, Xiao Lin will feel his appetite whet.

"Linlin, if I go abroad, I'm afraid I'll get tired of eating foreign food within a year. You and your second brother have been abroad for so many years, it's lucky that you can stay here."

Xiao Lin said: "Third brother, what you said is wrong. If you are not used to eating foreign food, you can cook our Chinese food by yourself! In order to be able to eat Chinese food, I even stowed a kitchen knife. "

He Ran laughed and said, "Linlin, I really have you. I don't know how to cook, so I go to Chinatown when I'm so greedy. Although it's not very authentic, it's better than nothing!"

Quanjude has the most people in the front store, and of course the price is the most expensive.But eating roast duck is the best feeling here.While talking, He Ran parked the car in the parking lot next to Quanjude.

Why did you say hello in advance, and the three of them walked to the private room under the leadership of the manager.

Before entering the door, a loud voice shouted: "Second Brother He, Third Brother He, why are you here?"
