Chapter 1038 Yan Family Manor
"Mr. Xu, these two camphor trees existed when our grandfather Yan Qingxiang purchased this manor. They are more than a hundred years old in diameter and are very rare."
“It’s indeed a good thing.”
I didn’t look at the concierge on the left side of the gate. It’s already mottled.
The garden path in the middle has traces of cleaning, but the remaining decayed leaves can still be seen.
Enter the estate along the garden path.
Looking around, he couldn't help but frown.
The original lawn has been completely swallowed up by various weeds.
Especially now that it’s midsummer.
The weeds, which are taller than a person, are like a thick green blanket blocking all sight.
In front of the main building of the manor is a small square of about 100 square meters, paved with stones.
It's bare, there's nothing there.
The exterior of the main building of the manor is composed of dry-paved river pebble walls, and the roof adopts machine-made flat tile steep slope roof, which is simple yet elegant. The crimson roof tiles shine in the sunlight and complement the two century-old towering camphor trees in the courtyard.
The only drawback that can be said is that due to its age and lack of maintenance, many places are in need of repair.
Xu Liang did not enter the villa, but walked around to the back from the side aisle.
What a vibrant back garden.
There are about two to three acres of ponds in which water plants and lotus leaves complement each other, and wild flowers and wild grasses complement each other.
The rockery is mottled, and the top is piled with dead branches and leaves.
Shrubs of all sizes grow wildly, occupying every inch of space that can be covered.
The canopy of the trees in the corner is like clouds, providing shade and taking away the heat.
The roof of the original pavilion has collapsed, leaving only a few pillars, which looks a little desolate.
A winding path skirts the lake and extends to the back door behind the rockery.
After finishing turning the outside.
Come to the room again.
Push the door and enter a high-ceilinged hall.
Although no one has lived in it for a long time and the hall is covered with dust, the thick wooden floor is still not damaged at all.
A wooden staircase winds its way from the left to the second floor.
The fireplace next to it is beautifully carved and original.
From the overall style, it is a Nordic style.
Xu Liang didn't go to the second floor because it was too dirty and he couldn't get down.
“Mr. Yan, the house is not bad.”
Yan Yuyang said happily: “As long as you are satisfied.”
“Mr. The old bungalows in our Yanjia Garden are rare.”
“Yes, Mr. Xu. With your current status, you must have such a top-notch bungalow.”
The rest of the Yan family spoke one after another.
Xu Liang: "I have already arranged the house affairs. Someone will talk to you later. I will leave now." Walk outside.
Come to the car.
Took the information about Yan Family Garden from Li Jinling.
The history of Yanjia Garden can be traced back to 1920, when it was originally built by the Jewish doctor Luo Bo.
Later, because the doctor suddenly committed suicide after living here for more than ten years, the garden was once regarded as a "haunted house" and was almost forgotten.
Subsequently, it was purchased at a low price by a person named Xu.
In 1940, it was taken over by Yan Qingxiang, a famous entrepreneur in Shanghai, and his family.
This garden house covers an area of eight acres, with a building area of 1,570 square meters and a garden area of 4,900 square meters. It has a typical British garden style.
After the founding of New China, Yan Qingxiang had close contacts with many artists in Yanjia Garden, and it became their gathering place.
Hanging in the living room are Huang Yanpei's pen and ink, Xu Beihong's paintings, as well as the words "fraternity" and "come from behind" written by Mr. Sun, and photos signed by Mrs. Sun Song *ling.
These precious works of art and historical relics add unparalleled value to this mansion.
Of course, these works of art have long been sold by the Yan family or lost.
After Yan Qingxiang died of illness in 1988.
The descendants of the Yan family were almost beaten to death and even had several confrontations in court in order to compete for the family's most valuable old house.
When Xu Liang bought the old house a few years ago, he let Yanjia Garden go because they couldn't reach an agreement internally.
Now we finally have a unified opinion, sell it first and then divide the money.
"The house is a good house, but it is too dilapidated. Buy it and let Lu Jue and the others repair it."
He did not care about the specific negotiations. Time and energy are precious, so there is no need. Wasted on such trivial matters. "Okay."
"Is there no news from the Magic City yet?"
"Not yet."
Xu Liang nodded. Although the bait he threw was very tempting, the higher-ups must agree on it. It's not something that can be done in a short time.
Looking out the window at the bustling streets, the office workers coming and going have hope for life on their faces, or they are numb and disappear from sight.
A sentence suddenly popped into Xu Liang’s mind.
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
Now he has a huge wealth that is unimaginable by ordinary people, but he has lost the freedom to travel through the streets and alleys like an ordinary person and experience the fireworks of the world.
Although more than half a year has passed since the incident in the United States, the assassination left a deep psychological shadow on him.
For him now, his children are too young.
The wealth of the entire Xu family rests on his shoulders.
If he is killed, the huge Xu empire will collapse.
Foreign countries understand this, and so do domestic people.
So, even in China, which is much safer, Xu Liang will be extra careful.
His weakness is too obvious.
Establishing a legacy trust in advance is not only to disperse family assets and reduce attention, but also because it is truly a will.
In case something happens to him.
You can leave some wealth behind.
——
Three days will pass in the blink of an eye.
The Yan Family Manor was bought by him for 120 million Chinese coins, which was more than half cheaper than the 280 million purchased by Chen Sheng in the previous life.
This is understandable. After all, Chen Sheng bought it in 2009 and it is now July 2006.
The current average price of commercial housing in Shanghai is only 7,038 yuan/square meter.
In 2009, it was already 17,000.
Swish...
Sign your name on the document.
"As soon as the payment is made, let the construction team enter the site and tell Lu Jue that on the basis of retaining the original appearance of the manor, all modern equipment must be provided.
Also, remember to install floor heating."
Although the winter in the Magic City is not long, as a northerner, he really can't stand the coldness of the south. It's too uncomfortable.
It is okay to turn on the air conditioner, but it is not as comfortable as floor heating.
Li Jinling smiled and said: "I will definitely convey your explanation to Mr. Lu."
"Yeah."
"Is there any news from SMIC?"
"Not yet, but there are a lot of rumors outside, especially with the example of BOE. Many people are I believe Hanhua will invest tens of billions of dollars in chip foundry."
Xu Liang nodded slightly: "Tell Hanhua to send people to SMIC directly without waiting any longer. It has nothing to do with us.”
“Okay.”
"Has Liu Qiangxi signed the contract with Zhejiang Farmers?"
"Still negotiating."
Although he has reached an agreement with Zhejiang Province, the specific terms still need to be discussed. .
When it comes to money, of course it’s impossible to be careless.
Dingle bell…
Li Jinling's cell phone suddenly rang.
A moment after picking up.
“Mr. Xu, Leader Zhou asked us to discuss investment.”
“The speed is much faster than I originally thought.”
“Do you want to agree? ”
"Of course. Put the meeting place at Hongyan and let them decide the time."
After Li Jinling nodded, she quickly communicated with the other party.
After hanging up the phone.
"The other party has made an appointment at 9:30 tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
