Zhao Bailu's parents happened to walk into the store, and she didn't have a chance to talk to Chen Linzhi in detail, so she made an appointment to meet at the San Francisco Public Library early tomorrow morning.

It's a matter of money, and finding an office can be delayed for a minute or two.

So after Chen Linzhi got up the next morning, he turned out the ring inlaid with emerald gems that was casually on the bedside table, took it to Yin Yu, and rushed to the city to make an appointment.

It took a while to park the car, and when Chen Linzhi arrived at the door of the library, Zhao Bailu was already waiting for him at the door, bringing two cups of coffee.

Look at her recent poor spirits, it is estimated that she has stayed up late to read, although her brain is smart, her good grades are not falling from the sky in vain, countless students around the world are staring at those top schools, and it is not easy to successfully get the admission letter.

I didn't expect Yin Yu to follow.

Zhao Bailu handed him the coffee, Yin Yu relied on smoking to refresh himself on weekdays, he was completely an old smoker, he was not very old, he had been smoking for four or five years, and people didn't care much about the harm of cigarettes in this era, advertisements can be seen everywhere, and they can often be seen on TV.

Yin Yu's expression was lazy, seeing that this little girl who had not graduated from high school was smiling happily at the moment, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, mainly jealous of Chen Linzhi's womanhood, and wondered why good things could not be shared on her head.

He waved his hand and said, "I don't drink this thing, it tastes bitter, and it's easy to lose sleep at night after drinking it." Miss Zhao, let's hurry up and talk about business, how much is the ring worth?"

Chen Linzhi took a cup and said happily: "You drink it yourself, don't worry about him, I'll have to rent a shop later, and I've already made an appointment with a real estate agent before going out, so we won't go in." ”

"Okay, I brought the book here, the badge on it is exactly the same as the pattern on the ring, a relatively rare private badge, I didn't see it the first time I flipped through the book, and I found it the second time. ”

Zhao Bailu placed the coffee cup on the protrusion next to the wall, and as she spoke, she took out a thick copy of the British Heraldic Institute's publications, which is responsible for counting and sorting out the emblems and symbols of the world, and even lists ancient totems.

She found it interesting, and recently used it as a bedtime book, and by the way, she could learn some historical knowledge about the world, which was barely related to the world history in the exam subjects.

Chen Linzhi took out the ring and read it against a small picture printed in the book, and found that it was exactly the same.

Looking at the words written next to him, he was surprised: "King of France, Louis XIV?"

The name reminded him of a rose called Louis XIV in the once sensational QQ vegetable garden.

Zhao Bailu told: "Well, he was a French emperor during the Bourbon dynasty, and he reigned for a very long time, a total of seventy-two years, and was called the Sun King.

According to the book, the coat of arms on the ring was drawn by himself after his victory in the War for the Spanish Throne to show his exploits, and was added to the Spanish flag, meaning one man ruling over two countries.

I've been looking for a painting from the same period recently, and according to a friend, it would be worth a lot if I could prove that it was worn by Louis XIV and that it had historical evidence. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, flip through the old photos! You tell me where to look for it, and I'll take care of it!"

Yin stinging fire is burning urgently.

Whether it was Chen Linzhi or Zhao Bailu, they all looked at him with a pitiful look that looked at a fool, Chen Linzhi had a headache and was speechless, and said: "With your brain, don't think about being a historian, what era was Louis XIV, and in what year was the camera invented? Do you believe that I took a photo as evidence, saying that this ring was worn by Louis XIV, and people could beat me to death?"

Looking back on the future, he felt that something was really wrong, and Yin Yu said embarrassedly: "Anyway, I didn't want to be a historian, no matter what that thing does, just sell it, and people will help check the specific things." ”

"Isn't the price low. ”

Chen Linzhi didn't bother to tell him, anyway, the chicken talks with the duck, and the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, so he said to Zhao Bailu instead:

"Thank you so much, don't be busy looking for evidence, it's even more important to prepare for the exam recently.

I'll put this thing in my hand first, and I'll ask someone when I have time, but there's no need to sell it for the time being. If I have money to spare in the future, I plan to collect more of these historical knick-knacks and keep them in my own collection at home. ”

Zhao Bailu smiled at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said: "It's okay, anyway, I don't have anything else to do except read books, and it's quite interesting to search for information as a treasure hunt, some time ago I have written to a French history expert at the Smithsonian Institution, and their information over there is more complete." ”

“...... Then the next time I invite you to dinner, this ring must be put away. ”

Chen Linzhi said a few polite words and watched Zhao Bailu walk into the library.

Follow Yin Yu to the parking lot.

Yin sneered and said, "I think this girl should be an adult, what did you do when she was a child, why do I think it's very interesting to you." She went before us on the day you were released, and I don't believe it if there's no story in it. ”

"What are you thinking, hurry up and continue to look at the office building, the real estate agent should be almost there. ”

Chen Linzhi diverted the topic.

-------------------------------------

The real estate agent they met today was named Jim, a young man in his twenties.

I have been in the real estate circle for a while, and I have an understanding of the needs and personalities of customers, such as Chen Linzhi, in Jim's opinion, belongs to the kind of potential customers who really want to rent, rather than being like some people, and deliberately entertaining them as real estate agents.

Meeting at the agreed place, Jim didn't go around in circles, and said to Chen Linzhi:

"You contacted at the right time, just yesterday a client entrusted us to sublet their office building, with seven years left on the lease, just pay to the building management every year.

That company used to be in the incense business, and it was very beautifully furnished, but recently people are more interested in buying cheap incense from Southeast Asia, and they can't afford the rent anymore, so they are ready to change places. ”

Chen Linzhi heard that the decoration was good, and asked in spirit: "Where is the location? How much is the rent, I told you about the demand before, the area is too big I can't use it, I will only waste the rent." ”

"A total of more than 3,400 square feet, a quarter's rent is about 2,500 US dollars, now it doesn't matter if the area is larger, your company will definitely grow, and when there are more people, won't it be used."

It is indeed a very good location, the new building that was just put into use the year before last, next to Union Square, with eight elevators, is particularly convenient for commuting, because it is the first tenant rent is cheaper, and now the price has increased, and the next seven years have been implemented according to the original contract price. ”

Jim told them that the original tenant knew their boss and offered a high commission, and that the morning meeting specifically pointed out that he would be the first to promote it.

Chen Linzhi habitually converts square feet into square meters, which is equivalent to more than 310 square meters, since he must set up an exhibition hall to do foreign trade business, it is convenient for customers to choose goods, and it doesn't matter if it is a little bigger.

And it's near Union Square, the location is quite good, and the lease of tens of thousands of dollars a year is okay, but it's more expensive than the previous place.

The business is almost promoted, if nothing else, he should be able to make money, his thoughts are very different from before, after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Go and see first, if it is suitable, I can decide today, I hope you have prepared a few more places for me to choose, so as not to waste time......"
