10 pieces of ice-type colorless jade, worth 10 million yuan.
8 pieces of waxy type emerald jade, worth 640,000 yuan.
45 grams of glass type imperial jade, worth 11 million.
After some negotiation, the final price was finalized and it was sold to the store for a total of 22.64 million.
The bank and the appraisal agency came over. Under the witness of the 3 parties, they signed the contract to finalize the payment and hand in the goods.
When Zhang Xiangyun finally arrived, she happened to see the group of people congratulating each other, and the payment had been completed.
"Chen Wenkun!" Zhang Xiangyun was flushed and looked at her husband and son. "You really made money?"
Chen Chuan was calm.
Father Chen's handkerchief was soaked with sweat and said as he wiped away his sweat, "It's done, it's all done. Let's go home first and talk about it later."
Father Chen and Zhang Xiangyun had never been so happy in their lives.
Father Chen showed Zhang Xiangyun the bank balance on his phone. She counted the number of digits and jumped up happily when she found out that it was 8 digits.
"Congratulations, congratulations to Boss Chen, congratulations to Mrs. Chen. You really are blessed, you can really enjoy your next life." The others congratulated them again.
The three of them were taken aback.
The man realized that he had made a mistake, and he corrected it quickly. "You'll be able to enjoy the rest of your lives!"
The three drove home, closed the door, and laughed out loud.
They were village people who had worked hard all their lives. However, they suddenly had more than 20 million, so they could not calm down for a long time. Both Father Chen and Zhang Xiangyun were so happy that they looked twenty years younger.
"Chen Chuan, I'll contact Li Qing tomorrow and tell her to ask her daughter to meet us. I think this marriage can be arranged," said Zhang Xiangyun. "They just want the house in Grand Joy right? It has to be the 168 square-foot house worth 5.2 million right? We can buy it, so what do you think, Old Chen?"
"Sure, sure, why not? But don't panic, this money is from Chuan Chuan's stone gambling, so based on the regulations, this money should belong to Chuan Chuan," said Father Chen.
"What I think is that our son is only 19, so I don't feel comfortable giving him so much money. Why don't we save it for him first? Then we can give it to him once he graduates," said Zhang Xiangyun. "Chen Chuan, what do you think?"
"I want half of it," said Chen Chuan.
Zhang Xiangyun was curious. "What do you want to do with so much money?"
Chen Chuan had his own idea and knew that his parents would not be willing to spend the money even if it was in their hands. He wanted to get two cars for his family, so he wanted to ask for some money to be in his control. Otherwise, it would not be easy to explain to his parents if he were to buy the cars with his own money.
After some friendly negotiation between the three, the 22.64 million was allocated in the following way.
5 million was given to Chen Chuan. Chen Chuan's reason for asking for money was to start a business and invest in the stock market.
5 million was going to be used to buy a house in Grand Joy. Zhang Xiangyun planned to use it for Chen Chuan's marriage.
12.64 million was left, so 640,000 would be used to operate their hot pot restaurants. The 12 million left would then be placed in the bank to earn interest. A year's interest would be almost 330,000 yuan, which meant nearly 30,000 yuan per month. They would be able to get 30,000 yuan a month just by doing nothing. For Father Chen and Mother Chen, this meant that they could make money even while lying down.
"Chen Chuan, I know that you're reliable. You're not that kind of bad kid, so mom can give you this much money without worry. However, don't be wasteful," Zhang Xiangyun repeatedly said.
There was one last day before the vacation would come to an end.
Chen Sun came knocking on Chen Chuan's door that morning and walked in. Father Chen and Zhang Xiangyun had already gone to the hot pot restaurant, so Chen Chuan was at home by himself.
"Brother, I'm going to buy a car in the car exhibition today. Why don't you come with me? I don't know much about cars," said Chen Sun.
Chen Chuan had nothing to do today, so he agreed. After he got up and washed up, he changed his clothes.
The two took a taxi and went straight to the exhibition center.
When they arrived, Ling Jiao, who was wearing a pink dress, was already waiting there.
Chen Chuan thought, 'this Ling Jiao is beautiful, but why does she always wear this pink dress? She wore it at the last anniversary ceremony too, and it's October soon, doesn't she feel cold wearing this?"
"Brother, so you're here too." Ling Jiao greeted Chen Chuan with a smile.
"Sister-in-law." Chen Chuan also greeted her.
The three of them entered the exhibition center together. The car market was really good during September and October. The car exhibition was the most popular in early October as the weather was cool, so many people came.
Chen Sun seemed to already have plans. After all, it had been a month since he had the thought of buying a car for his family.
"Brother, I'm thinking of choosing between the Civic, Lavida, Sylphy, Corolla, and Malibu... Why don't you give me some ideas?" said Chen Sun.
There were many luxurious cars in the exhibition hall. There were also car models wearing long skirts at the car booth, all of their figures and appearances could rival each other.
However, Chen Sun was quite decent in this aspect as he only had eyes for his fiancee, so he did not care about any of these models even though they were gorgeous.
Chen Chuan whispered, "Look, what do you think about that beauty in the red dress next to Ferrari?"
Chen Sun took a look and said, "She's okay, but your sister-in-law is not bad too. She'll be even more beautiful than her if she were to put on makeup and wear a skirt."
"Look over there, the one in the silver skirt near the Lamborghini, her skirt is so short." Chen Chuan hinted to Chen Sun to look again.
Chen Sun took a look and laughed.
Ling Jiao glared at Chen Sun.
Chen Sun hurriedly said, "Let's talk about the car, brother, please help me decide. Which one should I choose?"
"These few models are almost the same, either one of them will do. If you really want me to choose one, I think it's better to choose a widely popular model," said Chen Chuan.
"I think so too." Chen Sun walked towards the public.
Ling Jiao seemed unhappy.
Ling Jiao had not been happy since the beginning of that day.
Chen Chuan knew a little about the specific reason. Whether it was Ling Jiao's family or herself, they wanted a car that was worth at least 200,000 yuan or a decent B-class car. An A-class car was smaller than a B-class car, so it did not look that impressive.
When Chen Sun went up to inquire about the price, Ling Jiao did not follow. She just stood aside with her arms crossed or looked down to play Lianliankan on her phone.
Chen Chuan felt awkward with their situation, and he was the most afraid when it came to awkwardness.
Fortunately, it was very lively at the car exhibition, and there were many beautiful models, which was a good scene to watch.
"Brother, come and help me see, what specifications should I choose? 1.5? 1.4?" Chen Sun shouted.
Chen Chuan went and walked around the car.
Chen Sun whispered, "Brother, your sister-in-law is not very happy today…"
"Really? I didn't notice."
"Actually, I know that she wants a better car. Some cars have weak exterior skins such as the Accord, Teana, and Camry," said Chen Sun.
"Then you can add some money to get a Magotan and everything will be settled in just a step." Chen Chuan suggested.
Chen Sun showed a sad face. "I wish I could too, but my financial conditions won't allow it. To be honest, I borrowed this 100,000 yuan from your father and my uncle."
"You didn't save some money from work?"
"I earn 4,500 yuan a month, how much can I save?"
"What did you study?"
"Garden design, landscape greening."
Upon listening to this, Chen Chuan touched his chin, garden design… These two words reminded him of a scene. Du Hao had undertaken a major project, which was related to sustainable landscaping. Because of this, he got to know a local major family, the Xie family. Many things went unhindered with the Xie family behind him.
Although Chen Chuan was not short of money, he lacked the contacts and did not know any influential people in Haiqin City. If he could have taken Du hao's project first and got to know the Xie family, the benefits would be endless.
At that moment, Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "Well, you can loan more and buy a good car."
"My loan...I can't afford to repay it... The mortgage is already more than 3000 yuan. This salary isn't even enough for food and clothing," Chen Sun said with a sad face.
Chen Chuan said, "This way, I plan to set up a greening company, and I can get hold of a major project soon. Are you interested? I can hire you as a designer."
"Really? You're starting a company? You have the money?" Chen Sun was surprised.
Chen Chuan knew that his parents had not told their bunch of relatives about the money he had made from stone gambling, so he was not going to tell Chen Sun for now.
He did not answer whether he had money or not, but said, "You can come with me, I'll give you an extra 3000 yuan salary every month. If you receive a big project later, you can have extra commission too."
"7-7500?" Chen Sun was surprised, but then shook his head. "No, brother, I know my own ability, I wouldn't dare to take such a high salary even if you give it to me. I won't be able to yield results. Besides, the company I'm working for now is big, so there's room for promotion in the future, your company…"
Ling Jiao was on the side and seemed to have heard the conversation.
She walked over with a dark expression, gave Chen Sun a slap behind the neck, and said angrily, "You don't have the ability, yet you still push him away even if your brother is inviting you? How can you say that Chen Chuan's future company won't be able to develop much? You think you can get a promotion in your current company with your cowardly personality? You're only worthy of getting that 4500 yuan!"
Chen Sun quickly said, "I didn't mean that. My main point is that I'm afraid that he'll suffer a loss if I get such a high salary from him. I know my own level, ah, ah, ah...
Chen Chuan watched as Ling Jiao's hand pinched Chen Sun's waist a few times.
